Patent GB-190818697-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Time Recorders for Workmen and the like.
Inventor: LLEWELLIN WILLIAM MABERLY
Filed: 1908-09-07
Granted: 1909-09-07
Abstract: 18,697. Llewellin, W. M. Sept. 7. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Date and time printing stamps.-Comprises driving-mechanism for the type - wheels and card rest, auxiliary autograph time-marking means of the kind described in Specification No. 1448, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Printing, Letterpress &c.], and resilient mounting to avoid shocks to the apparatus. The minute type-wheel is driven by bevel-gear from the clock, and secured to the minute-spindle is a snail cam H, Fig. 3, to engage a spring-controlled lever J, which carries a pawl K<11> to strike a pin K<1> on a pivoted anchor I which drives the hour-wheel. A separate motor train released periodically by the clock, drives a pinion N' having 13 teeth and a space, and engaging a rack N which is attached to the card rest and to a rack which drives the day type R. This secondary train also drives through gearing o, o', Fig. 13, a camp for laterally moving the card holder to " in " and " out positions. A secondary set of type-wheels T, Z, Fig. 6, prints time on the cylinder u carried in links u', u<11>. The cylinder is rotated by the manual lever W<1> through coned gearing X, X' so that first the employee's number is brought opposite the signature aperture V<1> in the casing, then by a further rotation, the same line is brought to the printing- position, and the cylinder is raised to print by the thrust on the wheels X. The two positions are properly set by bringing the lever W<1> against the signature and printing series of numbers in the dial W. The aperture Y' is movable so as to allow two or more signatures on one line. The card may alternatively be positioned by a shoulder cut out by a knife c", Fig. 7, operated by a cam b on the platen shaft, the notched card then dropping on to a spring plunger d. The whole machine may be supported in gimbals or on a ball-and-socket joint l, Fig. 10, and held by springs on both sides of an outer casing as shown.

Abstract: 22,018. Kunz, J. Oct. 17. Anvils; hammers, power.-In a variable-stroke mechanical hammer for performing smithy work, such as welding, swaging, and the like, the inclination of the hammer is altered between successive strokes by a parallelogram of rods so that it always moves parallel to itself and strikes substantially the same spot on the anvil. The hammer 1 is jointed to rods 2, 3, also connected to a lever 6, which is pivoted at 7 to the framing and is connected by an arm 8 and a rod 9 with a hand-lever 10 for varying the inclination of the hammer. The hammer is operated by an adjustable eccentric 11, and a rod 26 surrounded by springs 32, 33 which are adjustable by nuts and press against a cross-head 29 ; this has pivot pins 28 to receive bearings 29a, which are clamped in any position on the rods 3 according to the power available by screw hoops 30, and castings 31. In one form of eccentric, Fig. 5, the disk 11 is provided with a nut 4 which engages a screw 15 operated by a pinion 16 which is mounted in projections 13 on the shaft 14 and is rotated by a rack bar 17. This bar which rotates with the shaft 14 is moved in a groove in the shaft by a lever pivoted on the shaft 22, which is operated either by a double pedal 24 or by a handle, and is connected to a sliding fork engaging a two-part stirrup which strikes a ring fixed on the bar. In another form, Fig. 9, in which the bar 56 is held from rotation, the shaft 50 is made in the form of a casing 51 for carrying the toothed wheel 52 which carries on each side an eccentric pin 53 engaging a block which slides in a slot in the disk 48. The anvil has a top plate 39 with a swage hole 40 extending righ through the anvil, the hammer scale being removed through a side opening 47. It is moved in two directions at right-angles during working and between successive strokes to bring the swage hole or either edge of the plate under the hammer, by levers 45, 46 which operate pivoted plates 41, 42 with rounded heads. Specification No. 2805, A.D. 1865, is referred to.

Title: Apparatus for Coupling Railway Wagons Automatically.
Inventor: CONSTABLE LEOPOLD CLAUDE
IPC: B61G9/04
Filed: 1909-02-08
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 3031. Constable, L. C. Feb. 8. Couplings, automatic. - A railway - wagon coupling, which can be operated by hand from either side of the vehicle, is adapted to act automatically. Transverse shafts a are carried at the ends of the wagon, and each shaft has a right-angled lever b at its outer end. Levers d on the inner ends of the shaft are situated one at each side of the draw-hook c, and are connected bv chains e to a pivoted link f which carries the coupling-link g. A projection on the link f bears under the link g so that when the coupling is raised the two links f, g lie in the same plane. The handle b maintains the coupling raised by bearing under a pivoted link k. When coupling automatically, the impact of the buffers causes a link m, connected to one buffer, to knock away the link k and release the lever b, and allows the coupling to drop.

Abstract: 3418. Murray, D. Christie-, and Moore, A. M. Feb. 11. Taximeters; additionalc h a r g e registers.-Apparatus for ensuring the registration of charges due for extra seats in taximeter vehicles consists of means whereby pivoted seats are secured in an upright position until unlocked by a lever controlled by the taximeter flag, the movement of this lever serving to operate a counter. The seats a, a<1>, Fig. 6, are provided with extensions a<3>, a<4> which pass through holes c<2>, c<3> in sliding plates c, c<1> and allow the seats to be lowered when the latter are operated. The bolts c, c<1> are actuated by a cord e and spring- controlled bell-cranks d, d<1>, the lever d<1> being operated by the end of the lever d after it has moved through a sufficient distance to free the seat a. Upon the extensions are ratchet teeth a<7>, Fig. 7, which prevent fraudulent operation. The cord e is secured to a pulley h<2>, Figs. 2 and 3, fixed on a shaft h to which is secured a second pulley h<3> bearing a second cord m, and the shaft h is rotatable by a handle h<1>, its movement being limited by a pin h<4> and a groove g<1>. Unlocking of one or both seats is controlled by a bell-crank k, which is provided with two stops k<1>, k<3> and connected by a cord l to a bell-crank r, Fig. 4, the movement of which is derived from a lever r<2> connected to the flag. The first movement of the lever r causes the lever k to release the stop i*, and further movement brings the stop k<3> into position to be engaged by the stop i<2> or i<3>. The fare to be paid for the extra seats is exhibited at an opening o<3> in the casing, the indications being carried by a pivoted spring-retracted sector o, to which the connexion m is attached. The sector is provided with projections o<2> which actuate a counter p through a bell-crank q<3> and a link p<2>.
