Title: Improvements in the Electric Transmission of Signals comprising Combined Numerals.
Filed: 1911-01-26
Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 2014. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Feb. 9, 1910, [Convention date]. Order apparatus. - The transmitting -apparatus of a system in which the signals consist of numbers of two or more digits is provided with means whereby the indications of the transmitting and receiving instruments may differ by a fixed number. When it is desired that the indication at the receiver should exceed that at the transmitter by 2, the unit disk z is rotated loosely on the spindle until the pointer is at the indication 2 of the scale b. The transmitting indicator is now at 57, while the operating parts of the transmitter and receiver are at the position corresponding to the number 59. The tens indicator sk<2> is normally operated from the units indicator sk' by the co-operation of the projections n, ns with the toothed wheels s, ss. In the position shown, however, the projection n corresponds to the position 59, and to prevent the rotation of the tens indicating-disk by the wheel s, the projection kn<1> is provided to actuate the lever h and disconnect the clutch k<2> while the projection n is in gear. The operation of the tens indicating-disk is subsequently performed by the notch ns and the disk ss, while the projection ku and rod g<1> hold the clutch k<2> open. The apparatus may be used in cases where the transmitting indication is in advance of the receiving indication. A modification is described in which a pointer moves over a fixed disk. In this case, the pointer is operated by the projection n, but a groove or projection is provided on the disk z to rotate the tens scale temporarily in order to allow for the differences between the numerals. An adjustable disk for this purpose may be composed of movable sectors.

Abstract: 6983. Barnes, P. J. March 20. Connexions; gas exits.-An accumulator lug 3 passes through a loosely-fitting sleeve 1 of porcelain or the like, attached to the cover and extending some distance below it, but not touching the lug. This sleeve prevents short circuiting across the cover, corrosion of the lug, and splashing of electrolyte, but allows gas to escape, to facilitate which it may be provided with holes 11. The sleeve may be secured directly to the cover, but preferably is held flexibly by one or more rubber rings 8 fitting in corresponding grooves.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Couplings for Railway, Tramway and other similar Vehicles.
Inventor: SMITH ALLISON DALRYMPLE
IPC: B61G3/16
Filed: 1911-05-15
Granted: 1912-05-15
Abstract: 11,698. Smith, A. D. May 15. Couplings, automatic. - In buffer double couplings of the link-and-hook type, each link is formed with trunnions so mounted in the buffer casing as to permit their vertical movement to allow one link to lie flat upon the other in the coupled position. The trunnions f bear against vertical abutments e formed integrally with the casing a, and are connected by an eccentrically-disposed distance-piece j, which, in the highest position of the trunnions, bears against a tongue h formed integrally with the casing a so that the link g cannot be disengaged from the casing except when in a vertical position. Figs. 1, 2, and 3 show the application to a coupling having the hooks c fixed to the buffer casing. To uncouple, a T-shaped lifter k, Fig. 3, upon which the links g rest, is raised by operating a bar m passing through a slot in the depending limb of the lifter and loosely suspended by a pair of open links n. Figs. 5 and 8 show the application to a coupling having rotary-disk hooks. The hooks 1 are formed integrally with trunnions fitting into hookshaped bearings in the casing a. Retaining- bolts 4 are provided, but the coupling strain is taken by the sides of the bearings. To lock the hooks 1 in the coupled position, each is formed with a notch 5, which is adapted to be engaged by a crescent-shaped bolt 6 carried by a counterweighted lever 8 pivoted at 6<a> to a lug depending from the casing a. Uncoupling is effected by pulling on chains 12 secured to the lower end of the lever 8. Plates 10 pivoted to the hook at 11 are adapted to drop into position to close the sides of the notch 5 when the bolt 6 is withdrawn, so that when the chains 12 are released, no re-engagement of the bolt with the notch occurs. In the coupling operation, the nose of the bolt 6 engages the thickened lower edge of one of the plates 10 and pushes it aside.

Patent GB-191114164-A (GB)
Title: Improved Driving and Stopping Devices for High-speed Machines.
Inventor: DENNE MARK THOMAS
IPC: A43D71/02
Filed: 1911-06-14
Granted: 1912-07-15
Abstract: 14,164. Denne, M. T. June 14. S e w i n g - machines; stopping-gear, non-automatic.-Relates to cone and o t h e r friction clutches and operating- gear in which the first part of the movement of the operating-treadle moves one clutch part quickly into complete frictional contact with the other part, further movement of the treadle gradually moving the second part away from the first. Secured to the driven shaft 10 is a disk 8 provided with an arm 9. Turning with a small amount of free motion on the hub of the disk 8 is another arm 11, which is secured to a quick-threaded nut 12 engaging with a thread 13 on the friction cone 14, which is connected to tEe disk 8 by a rod 45. A spring 16 tends to press the cone 14 into engagement with the driving-pulley 15, at the same time turning the arm 11 until the arms 9, 11 are placed as shown in Fig. 2. An arm 18 is provided with a notch 19 and turns on a pivot 20 on the piston 21 of a dash-pot 22, which may contain a spring 43. A spring 24 bears on a lug 23 on the arm 18 to swing the arm out of the path of the arms 9, 11. The arm is kept normally in the inposition, however, by a lever 26, which is acted on by a spring-pressed rod 25 connected to the treadle-rod 33 bv a bell-crank lever 31 secured to a shaft 32. Partial depression of the treadle moves the lever 26 so that the arm 18 is swung out by the spring 24, releasing the arms 9, 11 and allowing the spring 16 to move the cone 14 suddenly into engagement with the pulley 15 to transmit the full power. The shaft 32 is geared to a crank-shaft 39, Figs. 1 and 5, which has cam projections 38 adapted to engage a loose collar 36 with cam recesses 37, on which bears a nut 35 secured to the driving-pulley 15 and tending to be pressed outwards by a spring 34. Further depression of the pedal rotates the shafts 32, 39 so that the projections 38 engage the recesses 37, and the spring 34 moves the pulley 15 gradually away from the cone 14, further movement of the cone being prevented by a stop. The shaft 32 carries a pinion engaging a rack carrying a brake shoe 40, which engages the cone 14 when the pulley 15 has been quite disconnected from the cone 14. As the pedal is released, the pulley 15 is moved back into contact with the cone 14. Finally the lever 26 moves the arm 18 back into the path of the arms 9, 11. The arm 11 then engages the notch 19, the shock being absorbed by the dash-pot 22, and the momentum of the moving parts brings the arm 9 also into the notch and moves back the cone 14 through the action of the screws 12, 13. The rebound of the piston 21 may be used to remove the loops from the needle-bar.

Abstract: 16,094. Norton, B. July 12. Pneumatic springs.-Relates to reciprocating conveyers and screens, and consists in arranging for the trough to compress air or gas during retardation at each end of the stroke, the energy absorbed being employed to assist the motion of the trough during the acceleration period of the reverse stroke. Fig. 1 shows one form in which the trough A is connected by the rod D to a piston E moving in a cylinder C closed at each end. A port G<3> may be provided in the middle of the cylinder to compensate for leakage past the piston during compression. This port may be employed for supplying air or gas under pressure to the cylinder. In a modification, the cylinder is connected to the trough. Modifications are described in which two cylinders or pistons are employed. In further modifications, a cylinder open at one end is caused to compress air at each end of the stroke of the trough by connecting the piston to the trough through links and levers.
