Abstract: 9866. Dezendorf, R. L. May 20, 1908, [Convention date]. Gas meters.-An auxiliary indicator is connected to a moving part of the driving-mechanism so as readily to indicate the slightest flow of gas, which might not be indicated by the ordinary registering-train owing to the slowness of the train or to back-lash or lost motion. In the form shown, the indicator consists of an horizontal circle R, preferably of a diameter substantially equal to the depth of the meter casing. The circle R is connected by means of a cross-bar S to the usual crank-shaft J of the meter, and is mounted so as to move behind an opening above the ordinary dial. The indicator R may be connected to any other suitable moving part of the operating-mechanism, and need not be connected directly thereto if lost motion can be sufficiently eliminated and sufficient speed secured.

Title: Improvements in Methods of Charging and Discharging Secondary Batteries or Electric Accumulators on Three-wire Systems.
Inventor: TAYLOR ALFRED MILLS
IPC: H02J1/08
Filed: 1909-06-17
Granted: 1910-07-18
Abstract: 14,212. Taylor, A. M. June 17. [Cognate Application, 16,522/09.] Boosting; balancing.-In a three-wire batterycharging system, a single booster is placed between the two halves of the battery, while the neutral wire is connected through an arrangement of inductances and slip-rings to tappings on the booster armature winding. Arrangements are provided for automatically protecting the booster upon the occurrence of an external short-circuit. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a single booster F is placed between the two batteries A, B. Tappings on the winding of the booster are brought out through slip-rings to a balancing inductance m, consisting of two coils arranged on separate cores and in series with each other and a third coil arranged on a magnetic core at right-angles to the other two cores, and having its winding connected to the neutral wire D at one end, and to the junction of the windings of the other two cores at the other end. Inductances n and the winding p of a switch U, normally short-circuited by fuses O, are placed between the booster armature and the inductance m, so that, when a short-circuit occurs in the external circuit, the fuse O blows, thereby inserting the inductance n to protect momentarily the booster F, and then causing the switch U to short-circuit the booster. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the booster is provided with two armature windings F, G arranged to be connected in series or parallel by means of a switch T. When the windings F, G are required to be connected in parallel, the switch T is placed in its top position, while a switch q, also in its top position, is arranged to connect the inductances n1, n1 directly to the winding F, and the inductances n2, n2 directly to the winding G. When the windings F, G are required to be connected in series, the switch T is placed in its lower position, while the switch q, also in its lower position, connects the inductances n1, n1, n2, n2 in series-parallel between one slip-ring of the winding F and one slip-ring of the winding G. In the arrangement shown on the left-band side of Fig. 2, an inductance is placed permanently across the extreme slip-rings of the windings F, G. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, when the windings F, G are in parallel, the slip-rings of the windings are connected to the neutral wire D through inductances m2, m1 and variable-position switches x2, x1; but, when the windings F, G are in series, the inductances m1, m2 are arranged in parallel between the two adjacent brushes of the windings. In the arrangement shown in the rightband bottom corner of Fig. 3, the inductances m1, m2 and switches x1, x2 are replaced by automatic balances m.

Granted: 1909-11-11
Abstract: 14,257. Parry, R. R., and Parry, H. June 17. Plates, dishes, and the like, washing.-In a machine for washing plates, dishes, cups, &c., a skeleton carrier rotated in a washing-tank is provided on its periphery with holders, which automatically receive and grip the articles, carry them through the detergent liquid, and release them so that they slide into an adjacent rinsing - tank, whence they are carried to a receiving-band. The carrier is formed of two end frames 23, 24, which are loosely mounted on a shaft 5 and are connected together by means of flat gratings 28 each adapted to carry detachably a perforated plate-supporting board 29. To the gratings are pivoted perforated clamping-members 35 normally spring-pressed upon the boards 29 but lifted therefrom at the desired point by means of cam-actuated pivoted forks 41. An agitator 69, formed of end frames connected by obliquely-disposed slats 70, is fixed to the shaft 5 which is connected through spur gearing with the carrier, so that the agitator and carrier oppositely rotate at a fast and slow rate respectively. The action of the apparatus is as follows. The plates are fed from a table 13 through a flap-door 16, automatically opened by the engagement therewith of the end of the preceding board 29. Each plate slides down the fingers 20 of a hinged table 18, and, as an empty board 29 rises, fingers 32 thereon pass between the fingers 20 and lift the plate. The clamps 35 then descend and grip the plate during its passage through the liquid, and are raised again to release the plate when opposite the discharge opening 55. The plate thereupon slides into the rinsing-tank 55<a> and is conveyed through to the receiving-band by means of an endless carrier 62.

Abstract: 28,850. Hansen, G. A. Dec. 9. Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Relates to pistols of the type in which the magazine is placed in the stock or grip and the firing- hammer behind the stock and underneath the slider, and consists in an arrangement for reducing the length of that arm of the hammer which is operated by the bolt during recoil, so as to increase the reactive force of the hammer spring. For this purpose a sliding trigger, Figs. 11 and 12, is used, having a slotted extension 36. The sear, Figs. 13 and 14, is mounted within the slot of the extension 36 so that it can rock slightly on the hammer pivot 21 and can move longitudinally against the spring 32. The hammer 20 is mounted between the arms of the sear, with which it engages by the nose 25. Fig. 5 shows the parts in firing position, the trigger being pressed and the sear retracted by the engagement of the projection 37, Fig. 11, with the shoulder 27 so as to release the hammer. As the bolt recoils the sear is depressed by the shoulder 18, in which circumstance, owing to the slot 33, it can move forwards under the action of the spring 32 to re-engage with the hammer before the trigger is released. The slot 31, Fig. 14, in the sear engages with a pin on the frame and limits the rocking movement. A safety-member 40 is hinged to the triggerguard and is adapted to engage by the pin 43 with the trigger, and by the finger 45 with slots 46, 47 corresponding to the extreme positions of the slider.
