Title: Apparatus for Indicating the Distances Travelled by Motor-cars and other Vehicles.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1904-11-15
Granted: 1904-12-15
Abstract: 24,772. Imray, O., [Bruhn, W.]. Nov. 15. Odometers.-A distance indicator for motor cars and other vehicles is mounted in the cap of the nave of a wheel and is arranged to register forward movement only. The front plate e, which is attached to the cap and rotates therewith, is provided with a circular rib g to which a back-plate carrying the mechanism is attached. A spindle i passing through this plate is provided with a lever (not shown) which is prevented from rotating by a tooth on the nut of the fixed axle. At the inner end of the spindle is a tooth l, which engages the ratchet-wheel n and drives an ordinary indicating- train s<1>, s<2>, s<3>, s<4> through a pinion p, toothed wheel q, and single-toothed wheel r. During backward motion, the jointed spring pawl o, o' yields to allow the ratchet to pass the tooth l, but returns to the same position after each passage.

Granted: 1906-01-06
Abstract: 320. British Thomson - Houston Co., and Hopps, B. Jan. 6. Dynamos, regulating; field magnets, special means for separately exciting.-In the power-transmitting system for motor vehicles &c, described in Specification No. 22,817, A.D. 1904, an internal-combustion engine, preferably operating at a constant speed, or a constant-potential motor or other suitable source of power, drives a generator which supplies current to the motors. To maintain the output of the generator constant when the load varies, the generator is provided with two opposing field windings, one of which is a series winding and the other is separately excited. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the series winding F of the main generator A is opposed by the winding B, which is excited by a small dynamo C, preferably driven from the main-generator shaft. The exciter C is provided with two assisting field windings, one D in shunt with the main generator and the other E in shunt with the exciter. In Fig. 1, the main generator A is compound - wound, and the shunt-wound exciter C adds its voltage to that of the generator to excite the shunt field B. The speed of the vehicle may be controlled by means of a rheostat G, or otherwise.

Abstract: 7894. Jackson, S. R. April 13. Safes.-Relates to an indicator for use in connexion with book safes &c., so as to render it impossible to shut the door until all the books have been returned to the safe. On the bottom of the safe 1 is a shallow box 3 containing the weighing-levers 8, 9, which are pivoted on bearings 4, 5 and have the free ends of the long arms connected by a link 10, their short arms being in connexion with arms 12,13 depending from the book casing 11 placed over the box 3.

Title: Thermostat.
Inventor: GEISSINGER HARRY GRANT
Filed: 1907-08-28
Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 19,338. Geissinger, H. G. Aug. 28. Thermostats.-A thermostat is designed to overcome the effects of the vibrations encountered in ships or trains. An adjustable damping effect or, in other words, an adjustable lag between the working temperature of the thermostat and the temperature of its surroundings is provided for, and can be made sufficient to overcome the oscillations of the bar due to the vibration of the ship or the like. Strips 2 of a dissimilar metal are fixed on opposite sides to the two legs of a U-shaped metal bar 1, and the compound thermostatic bar so formed is fastened to the framework 15 of the apparatus at 4, which also forms a terminal for the wire 14. The free end 16 of the thermostatic bar is provided with a contact-point 17. Fixed to the frame is an electro-magnet 9, the core 8 of which is provided with two adjustable pole-pieces 11, 7. The pole-piece 7 is electrically connected by a wire 13 with the electro-magnetic coil and a wire 12, and is provided with a point 6 adapted to make contact with the point 17 when the free end of the thermostatic bar is sufficiently deflected by a change in temperature. When this takes place the circuit is completed through the thermostatic bar, and the electro-magnet is energized. By suitably adjusting the pole-piece 11, although its extremity never comes into actual contact with the free limb of the thermostatic bar, the magnetic flux through the material of the latter can be varied.

Abstract: 2192. Franoke, C. A. Jan. 31. Capsules and the like. - Relates to a sealing- device for bottles, collapsible tubes, pots, boxes, and other containers to prevent tampering with the contents without detection. A strip of pliable material, preferably soft metal, is formed at one end with a part A, adapted to engage a permanent part of the closure of the container, and at the other end with slots G adapted to receive a band S, Figs. 5 and 10, passed around the container and secured by pasting, tying, or sealing. A projection D, Fig. 10, is provided to facilitate rightful opening of the receptacle. The strip is weakened at E, El or other conspicuous parts, either by grooves or by chemical treatment, so that in opening the container both the strip and band S are destroyed. The part A may be a key, Figs. 1 and 10, adapted to engage a nut B, which is screwed on to a screw or screwed nipple on the container ; or, it may be formed as a hook, Figs. 5 and 6, adapted to engage a rod M passed through, or projections M formed on, a vitreous stopper during manufacture. The ends of the hooks L, L<1>, Fig. 7, may be boxed in to prevent access to the rod, and a second set of projections, Fig. 9, may be formed on the stopper to hold the part A in position. In the form of the device shown in Fig. 8, a ring is employed instead of the rod M, and the part A is modified to engage the ring. The key A, Fig. 11, is adapted to receive and partly or entirely enclose the nut B, or the lid or stopper itself. The strip may be firmly fixed to, or integrally combined with, the nut or closure, and for large containers two or more strips may be employed either with the same screw-and-nut device or with separate ones, and the strips may be joined or integrally combined with one another, or with the same key device, or with one another and the key device.
