Title: Improvements in Devices for Automatically Maintaining a Travelling Music Sheet or Band in Proper Relative Position with Regard to the Tracker Bar.
Inventor: MURDOCH JAMES SEMPLE
Filed: 1912-03-26
Granted: 1912-10-17
Abstract: 7362. Murdoch, J. S., and Bennett, J. March 26. Tracker-bars; winding-mechanism. - Relates to a device for automatically maintaining the tune-sheet apertures in alinement with the tracker-ducts. For this purpose, a feeler is provided which normally bears against the edge of the tune-sheet and controls a double-bellows device for shifting the tracker-bar or winding- rolls. A stop limits the movement of the tracker-bar to half the width of a tracker-duct. The feeler f is pivoted at g on a bracket i carried by the tracker-bar a, which slides in guides b. The part k of the feeler f is rounded and is normally held against the tunesheet c by a spring n, while the part l serves as a valve controlling the admission of air to a pipe m. The tracker-bar a is connected by a link o to bellows p, q coupled together by a bar t. The bellows p is normally connected to suction through pipes v, 17, 6, and the bellows q to atmosphere throught a pipe 9 and port 16. Fig. 3. The bellows p tends to move the tracker-bar a and feeler f towards the tunesheet c. After the part k contacts with the tune-sheet however, a continuance of this movement opens the valves l, admitting air through pipes m, u, v to the bellows p and also through pipes m, u, w to the chamber 1. The diaphragm 5 is therefore inflated to operate the valves y, z and connect the bellows q to the exhaust-pipe 6 through the pipe 9. The bellows q now tends to shift the tracker-bar a in the opposite direction, whereupon the spring n closes the valve l, causing the pressure conditions of the bellows p, q to be reversed.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Interlocking Hand Levers for Railway Signals.
Inventor: PHILLIPS ALFRED GEORGE
IPC: B61L19/02
Filed: 1912-06-03
Granted: 1913-01-23
Abstract: 12,983. Phillips, A. G., and Haughton, A. June 3. Hand-levers and hand gearing, interlocking.- An auxiliary locking-tappet, slide, and dogs are provided which come into action automatically if any levers are pulled off to pass a train up to a starting-signal before the starting-signal lever is pulled off. In normal through working, the auxiliary tappet is not operated. The auxiliary tappet bar A is moved by a spring to lock any operated levers until the starting-signal lever C has been pulled off and put back. The tappet bar A may then be replaced manually. The dogs F, I, L are riveted to a bar M and the dogs E, G, K to bar N ; a spring draws the dogs E, F together and so keeps, the dogs against the tappet bars. If the homesignal lever is pulled before the starting-signal lever, the tappet B moves the dogs F, I, L to the right, releasing the auxiliary tappet A as shown in Fig. 3. If the starting-signal is pulled, the tappet C moves the dog H and locks the tappet A until the signal is reset. If the bome-signal is replaced, the dogs E, G, K are moved to the right by their spring and the tappet A is locked by the dog G, which is itself locked by the lock GG sliding in guides into a slot in the dog G under the action of a spring S. The pulling-off of the starting-signal removes the lock GG, and the tappet A is locked by the dog H until the starting-signal is put back. Any other lever D such as those for a crossover or siding may put the auxiliary locking-slide in operation.

Filed: 1912-12-30
Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 29,947. Hoe & Co., R., [Hoe & Co., R.]. Dec. 30. Delivery apparatus.-Relates to sheet-delivery mechanism of the kind comprising a pair of flexible gripper carriers on pulleys turning on axes normal to the plane of the sheet, and consists in improved means for driving the carriers and in mounting them so as to be capable of adjustment to deal with sheets of different widths. The sheet passes between a roller 2 and rollers 4, and is taken by grippers on two endless chains 5 which pass around sprocketwheels 6, 7 on shafts 8, 9, mounted vertically in two carriages 10. The carriages are adjustable transversely on guides 11, to accommodate sheets of different widths, by hand-wheels 20. Each gripper consists of a block, which forms one of the side plates of the chain, having a lateral projection 25 with which an L-shaped movable jaw 27 co-operates. The vertical stem of the jaw 27 is formed with teeth 37 which engage a toothed segment 36 on a stud 32. The segment 36 also engages a slide 30 normally pressed to the left by a spring 46, to maintain the gripper closed. Loose on the stud 32 is a catch 43 which is depressed by a spring 48 to engage a rib 44 on the plate 30 to hold the gripper open. The grippers are opened by the engagement of a roll 35 with an adjustable cam 38 and are held open by the catch 43 until a roll 51 thereon engages a cam on the underside of the plate 53, a second cam being provided to engage the roll 35 to ensure a gradual closing of the gripper. The chains are guided by guides 58, 59 which may be made to converge slightly to allow the sheet to sag, so that, during delivery, the centre of the sheet strikes the pile first.

Abstract: 13,402. Sparre, P. A. June 10. Launching.-To enable an aeroplane to rise without first running along the ground, pairs of struts inclined forwards and downwards are provided, the machine being acted upon by elastic means which, in conjunction with the propeller, causes the machine to rise about a fulcrum formed by the lower ends of the struts. Fig. 1 shows a machine fitted with struts 5 pivoted a little in advance of the centre of gravity. The usual shock-absorbers 8 are compressed and held by a catch, the propeller thrust being insufficient to cause the struts 5 to turn about their ends 7. When the catch is released, however, the springs 8 lift the front of the machine. Fig. 3 shows means for launching a hydro-aeroplane from a ship. In this case, the struts 5 are hinged to the deck or bridge of the ship and have forked upper ends engaging a horizontal bar 17 on the machine. Other forked bars 16 also engage the bar 17 and are acted upon by compressed air in a cylinder 14 when a valve 13 is actuated.

Granted: 1914-11-12
Abstract: 7411. Loscalzo, A. March 24. Wheel-guards and obstruction-removers. -A fabric screen 14 is unwound vertically downwards from a spring roller 11, so as to prevent an object from passing under a vehicle, by spring-actuated arms 16, when a catch is released either by the driver or through the contact of an obstacle with a trip-bar 33. At the same time, pivoted arms 50 are released and encircle the obstacle. The casing carrying the mechanism is adjustably supported as regards height from the ground. The arms 16 are pivoted to the casing and are acted upon by springs 19. Each arm terminates in a fork 23, which embraces a bar 21 connected to the rod 15 fixed to the lower end of the screen 14. A roller 20 in each fork 23 bears on the bar 21 and enables the arms 16 to traverse the bar 21 and thus unwind the screen until the arms strike the stops 22 on the bar 21. The arms 16 are normally held out of action by a tapered notched member 26 fixed to the bar 21 and engaged by a pivoted bar 29 acted on by a spring 31. When the bar 29 is displaced to the rear, either by a resilient extension 32 of the rearwardly movable trip-bar 33, or by a lever 43 controlled by the driver, the member 26 is released and the screen is spread. A second bar 38, pivoted to the free end of the bar 29 and to the casing, may be held by a catch 37 when it is desired to prevent the device from being operated from the tripbar. The member 26 also maintains two spring- actuated arms 50, pivoted at 51 above the casing, in the spread-apart position by engagement with catches 53<1>, Fig. 5. When the member 26 descends, the arms 50 are drawn together by the spring 53 so as to encircle the obstacle, and are locked in the closed position by a ratchet and detent at the axis and spring clips at their outer ends. The lower bar 48 of the screen is pivoted to the bar f5 and can yield to small obstacles against the action of the spring 49.
