Title: Improvements in the Stage Figures of Miniature House Theatres (Puppet Shows).
Inventor: RUTZ WALTER
IPC: A63J19/00
Filed: 1911-01-06
Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 368. Rutz, W. Jan. 6. Peep-shows.-The figures or puppets of a miniature theatre are so constructed that they may be made to turn round and move their arms and heads. Each figure is manipulated by means of two rods a, b, which are reduced in thickness for some distance from their ends in order that they may slide easily over each other. The legs of the figure fit on to pins 3, 6 which are fixed at right-angles to the rods. The pin 3 is prolonged into the body of the figure and is engaged by a thread 11 attached to the arms of the figure. By moving the rods, the figure may be made to turn and move its arms. The head d has a hollow conical neck portion with a weighted bottom 19, and rests on the end of a carrier 16 fixed inside the figure. The head is thus freely mounted on the carrier and will move with the movements of the figure.

Title: Improvements in Electric Signalling Systems.
Inventor: HACKING ROBERT
Filed: 1912-06-13
Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 27,974. Hacking, R. June 13, 1912. Resistances, measuring; locating faults in insulation.-In apparatus for indicating electrically which of a number of automatic circuitclosers has been operated, each of which is in series with a different resistance while all are connected between two circuit wires, an ammeter is used for measuring current passing to these wires from a source of current so that its reading indicates which circuit is closed, and a rheostat and voltmeter are provided for adjusting the applied pressure to a standard voltage. The apparatus may be used for indicating leakage in electric mains and switches. As shown in Fig. 1, the circuit-closers C<1>, C<2>, with the resistances F, are connected between the circuit wires A, B, which are supplied with current from mains K, Q through the rheostat R, a relay H, and the ammeter J, the voltmeter O being connected between the main K and the wire A. The relay H closes the circuits of a bell L and a lamp M. An arrangement for indicating leakage between two supply mains is shown in Fig. 3, in which a contact theirmometer V is mounted on an insulating bridge W and is fitted with a coil y connected between the outer insulating surfaces of the mains x. Leakage current causes the mercury to close the local circuit. In a modification for indicating leakage to earth, the bridge is mounted on a single main, and has an earth connexion to which the main is joined through the coil. In order to indicate leakage in a switch d, Fig. 5, or a ceiling fitting t due to moisture, a piece of worsted p, which acts as a conductor when moist, is connected between the main through the windings of an indicator e and a relay g.

Abstract: 28,019. Marks, E. C. R., [Trevithick, F. H.]. Dec. 13. Feed-water, heating.-In a locomotive or like boiler, a feed-water heater and, if desired, the uptake or chimney are carried upon the smokebox door, or upon a hinged portion of the smoke-box. The whole of the exhaust steam passes through exhaust-steam feed - heaters before entering the blast-pipe. Water is conveyed to the heater d carried by a hinged portion e of the smoke-box b through a rotatable connexion consisting of a pipe h divided to form inlet and outlet passages and mounted in stuffing-boxes f, g in line with the hinge c. In a modification, the hinge itself is adapted to provide the necessary steam and water connexions. The exhaust-steam heaters n are connected at one end to the exhaust pipe o and at the other end to the T-shaped blast-pipe q. A supplementary heater s provided with a drain-cock prevents undue condensation in the heaters n. The supplementary heater may be heated by passing live steam into a jacket u when the regulator is closed.

Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 13,782. Albrecht, G. J., and Long, S. L. June 12. Pile supports for sheet feeds; sheet separators and carriers; dropping-roller feeds.-In a machine for feeding filled envelopes from a hopper and opening the closing-flap, of the kind in which a reciprocating &c. member draws or bends the envelopes clear of their supporting- means and then moves them in the opposite direction to the feed rollers, the envelopes are contained, flap downwards, in a hopper consisting of sides 49 and lips 37 adjustably attached to a transverse bar 38. The bar 38 is mounted in side frames so as to be adjustable at right-angles to its length to accommodate envelopes of different widths. The pile is supported at the opposite edge by four bars 13, in the sides of which are formed grooves 18 for pins 19, 20 on two travelling carriages 17. The carriages 17 are reciprocated along the grooves 18 by links 28, pivoted on the pins 20 and connected-to rocking arms 26. Pivoted on the pins 19 in each carriage 17 are two jaw plates 31 formed with enlarged apertures 29 encircling the pins 20. The plates 31 are formed with roughened upper surfaces 32<1> which project up above the surface of the bars 13 when the plates 31 are raised by the engagement of cam surfaces 30<1> with pins 31<1>. Adapted to engage with the surfaces 32<1> are grippers 34 pivoted on pins 32 and raised against the action of springs 56 into the position shown in Fig. 3, by engagement with cam surfaces 35. Journaled in the carriages 17 are two shafts 60 which are turned against stop shoulders by springs 61. On the lower ends of the shafts are cams 63, which engage cams on the inside of the bars 13 and rock toward one another spring fingers 65 pivoted to blocks 59 at the top of the shafts. On the end of an arm 80 depressed by a light spring 92 is a finger 68, which normally prevents the separation of more than one envelope by the upward movement of the fingers 65. At the commencement of the return movement of the carriages 17, a finger 88 pivoted on a lever 87 moving with the arm 26 rocks over and allows a spring 90 to depress a bell-crank 82, pivoted on a stud 81 and furnished with a flange lapping over a spring 84 on the arm 80. The envelope is thus firmly held in the position shown in Fig. 3, until it is grasped by the grippers 34 on the reciprocating carriages. While thus gripped, it is released by the finger 68 when a roller 86 on the arm 87 engages the lever 82 and momentarily raises it. On the further movement of the carriages 17, the fingers 65 are turned inwards and the envelope is conveyed between drop rollers, which feed it onward, the flap being opened out by the fingers 65.
