Patent GB-190930349-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Washing Machines.
Inventor: BEEBE EUGENE FRANKLIN
IPC: D06F15/00
Filed: 1909-12-28
Granted: 1910-06-30
Abstract: 30,349. Beebe, E. F. Dec. 26, 1908, [Convention date]. Washing-machines with plungers. - Consists mainly in the means for actuating the plungers for supporting them and their operating-mechanism; details of construction with regard to the mounting and intermittent rotation of the tub are also described. In the machine shown, a pair of plungers is supported by a frame provided with guides 6 for the plunger staffs 4, and bearings for a shaft 34 rocked by means of a hand-lever 35. The frame is pivotally mounted at 12 on the tub-supporting framework 46, and, when in the operative position, is supported by a brace 65. Springs 15 surround and tend to raise the plunger staffs which are depressed alternately by collars 27 connected with the rocking shaft 34. Each staff terminates in a head 16, Fig. 13, provided with a pair of inclined recesses 20 in which are sliding weights 24 carrying blade springs 21. The springs normally protrude as shown, and when the collar 27 descends it is temporarily locked to the head by contact with the springs and so depresses the plunger. When the resistance of the plunger spring 15 has sufficiently increased, the springs 21 give way, their ends enter the recesses 26 and the plunger, now unlocked from the collar, is raised by its spring 15. When the collar moves upwards again, it is enabled to pass the springs 21 by pushing them upwardly into their recesses 20, whence they again emerge when the collar has passed. The tub is rotatably mounted by means of a stem which rests upon an adjustable ball bearing 60. A rack 69 on the tub is in gear with a pinion 70 connected with a friction wheel 72, which is intermittently rotated by a wiper cam on a gear-wheel 39 rotated by a link 37 attached to the hand-lever 35. A fly-wheel 44 is also driven from the gear-wheel 39.

Patent GB-191011358-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Railway Signals.
Filed: 1909-11-15
Granted: 1910-07-21
Abstract: 11,358. Soc. in Accomandita per l'Utilizzazione delle Invenzioni ing. Beer. Nov. 17, 1908, [Convention date]. Visual outdoor signals; slots, reversers, and like apparatus.-An arm 23 is lowered to bring the semaphore to " safety " by a winding-drum 6 when actuated by a motor 1. The motor is controlled by a switch 14 actuated by an electromagnet 15 in the circuit of which, in addition to a button switch in the signal cabin, is a switch 21 controlled by an electro-magnet 12. The magnet 12 is first energized, closing the switch 21. The magnet 15 is afterwards energized when the cabin switch is closed, and completes the motor circuit. The armature 17 is held in the attracted position, when the magnet 15 is de-energized, by a latch 18. A lever 11 is normally held by a latch 26 and a pin 29 on the lever 23. When the lever 23 is depressed by the winding of the rope, the pin 29 forces the latch upwards and brings the end of the lever 11 near to the armature 12, where it is retained. At the completion of the movement of the semaphore, a pin 30 moves the catch 18, the released armature 17 rises and the motor circuit is broken at 14. To return the semaphore to danger, the circuit of the magnet 12 is broken. The lever 11 then falls, and its shorter arm moves the winding-drum to the right, out of engagement with the driving-pins 5 on the last wheel of the motor train. When the lever 11 falls, a pin 31 on the pitman 28 moves an arm 32 downwards and closes a switch 33 of an indicating-circuit. This is opened as the arm 23 rises to danger position. The apparatus is designed more particularly for the block system described in Specification 26,487/09.

Title: Improvements in and connected with the Mechanical Manufacture of Lace.
Inventor: FARIGOULE JEAN
IPC: D04C5/04
Filed: 1910-05-31
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 13,158. Farigoule, J. June 4, 1909, [Convention date]. Lace machines.-In machines with traversing comb bars, for making real lace, deformation of the crossings is prevented by the use of individually-controlled points 11, which correspond to the pins used by the maker of pillow-lace. Each point 11 is jointed to a lever 15, the upper arm of which carries a projection 19. Bars 20, perforated in places, and traversed by jacquard action, are carried by an arm 21 oscillating about a shaft 16, and impart a slight lift to the selected levers 15, which is increased by the action of a lifting-bar 24. The rear ends of the points thus withdrawn from the work are taken by a vertically movable bar 27 which rocks them on pivots 14, and the points are again projected to preserve fresh crossings from deformation, by the return of the levers 15 to the normal position. For bringing the carriages under control of the front or back catch-bars in a selective manner, the selecting-bars 8 are actuated by horizontal bars 33, which are brought into engagement with oppositely moving driving-bars 37, 38 by lifting-needles 57, 58 acted on by suitably perforated traversing-bars 64. To obtain extreme compactness with rigidity, the joints 31, 34 and the lifting nebs are made of two different sizes, arranged alternately, giving lateral support. The nebs 59 are arranged in one line to ensure equal lifts to all bars, and the lifting-needles 57, 58 are arranged in a number of lines, the upper ends being cranked to bring them under the nebs 59. Long- and short-ended needles are placed alternately for lateral support. The bars 64 are superposed and perforated except where a lift is required, so that needles 57, 58 may pass through perforations in the upper bars and be operated by the lower bars.
