Title: Improvements in Weighing or other Force Measuring Apparatus.
Inventor: SIMONSSON WILHELM
IPC: G01G1/00
Filed: 1911-08-22
Granted: 1912-08-22
Abstract: 18,857. Simonsson, W. Aug. 22. Index hands; modifying scale of readings.- Relates to weighing-scales or other forcemeasuring instruments of the pendulum type employing weighted balance levers, and comprises the following features:-(1) an evenly graduated scale is rendered possible by the use of a slotted cam-plate; (2) the pointer spindle is removably mounted on antifriction rollers; and (3) the flexible metal bands used as connecting-means are attached to the various parts by a special arrangement of clamping-plates. (1) One of the balance levers 17 carries adjustably a plate 55 having a cam-slot engaged by a roller 59 upon the end of a skeleton arm 60, whereby movement is transmitted to a shaft 61 carrying a toothed sector 63 for actuating the pinion on the pointer spindle 5. (2) The pointer spindle 5 is removably supported at 35 and its front end rests upon antifriction disks 41, and its upward displacement is prevented by a screw 50 mounted on a vertically slidable adjustable plate 45. The toothed actuating- sector is thus on the opposite side of the spindle to the antifriction disks. The spindle may be withdrawn endways. (3) To attach a metal band to a part of the apparatus, the end of the band is passed between the part and a clamping - plate, is then bent back over the rounded edge of this plate, and is finally clamped by a second plate. In the arrangement described, the applied force draws down bands 15, which pass over curved extensions upon the upper ends of the balance levers 17, to which the extremities of the bands are attached by means of clamping - plates 66, 71. Tracks or straight-edges 19 upon the levers bear upon stationary disks 20 as the levers turn, support being afforded by means of other bands (not shown) attached at their lower ends to points near the upper ends of the levers, and at their upper ends to the highest points of curved surfaces concentric with and attached to the disks.

Title: Improvements relating to the Cenrifugal Separation of Solids and Liquids in Admixture, and to Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: WATSON CHARLES SCOTT
IPC: B04B1/00
Filed: 1912-02-16
Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 3914. Watson, C. S. Feb. 16. Machines for separating liquids from one another or from solids by density.-The mass to be treated is subjected to centrifugal force in a number of stages. As shown in Fig. 1, each drum comprises a disk f secured to a 'hollow shaft, and a conical portion n secured to a sleeve r and caused to rotate with the disk f by a pin u<1>. The material is introduced into the first drum by a pipe k. Some of the heavier portion is deposited in the drum, and the lighter portion passes by openings i and a pipe o into the next drum, and so on. In order to discharge the deposits, the cones n are axially movable by means of rods s in the hollow shaft arranged to bear on bolts t passing through the sleeves r. The cones n are raised by a lever y arranged in the base of the machine. The disks f may be axially movable instead of the cones, and in a modification, the disks fare replaced by cones. The drums may be opened for discharging by a governor acting on the rods s on the speed of the machine being temporarily increased. The drums preferably increase in diameter as shown. A pipe x takes away the clear liquid. The discharges from the different drums may be kept separate, or may all be collected together in a chamber 9 and removed through a door 8, or by a conveyer or pump. Liquid collecting on the top of solids is drained off by a channel 11.
Patent GB-191211261-A (GB)
Title: A Graded Service Automatic Telephone System.
Inventor: BARON HAROLD
IPC: H04M1/677
Filed: 1912-05-11
Granted: 1913-05-08
Abstract: 11,261. Baron, H., [Heimann, G.]. May 11. Automatic exchange systems and apparatus. - A graded automatic-exchange service is obtained by providing various classes of subscribers with impulse - transmitters having various limitations as to the combinations of impulses which they can transmit. Thus a subscriber entitled to connexions only with other subscribers in the same local exchange, numbered 7,000 to 7,999, would be provided with an impulse-transmitter incapable of sending either more or less than seven impulses for the first digit called. Or again, if trunk-connexions to a distant town are obtainable by calling a particular two-digit number, the impulse-transmitters of subscribers not entitled to trunk-service would be made incapable of sending that combination. At a single sub-station, impulse-transmitters giving different grades of service may be provided, and a separate meter for each grade. Prepayment stations may have impulse-transmitters of different grades controlled by coins of different values. Fig. 3 shows a transmitter of fingergrip type in which the transmission of more than seven impulses for the first digit is prevented by the engagement of a stop 103 on the dial 107 with a stop 131 on a bar 100 mounted slidably on the casing 112. The engagement of a cam 109 with pins 120, 121, &c. shifts the bar 100 a step to the left at each rotation of the dial 107, so that the stops 103, 131 do not engage except at the first rotation of the dial. The hanging-up of the telephone withdraws a detent 128 and allows the bar 100 to be returned by a spring 119. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 7, the transmission of less than seven impulses for the first digit is prevented by a pair of short-circuiting contacts 104, 105, which are only opened after a certain movement of the dial has tripped the lever 137 and caught it under a catch 157. This device may be arranged to come into action only at a second or subsequent digit. An arrangement for preventing the dispatch of three and ten impulses successively, for trunk-calling, is shown in Fig. 5. If the dial is first operated for the number 3, a lever 162 carried by the dial is tripped by a finger 168 on the bar 100 and releases a bell-crank lever 178, also carried by the dial, which hooks on to a pin 172 on a lever 166 carried by the bar 100. Consequently, when the dial returns, the lever 166 is displaced and releases a stop 160, which raises into operative position in the path of a stop 161 and prevents the dial from being turned beyond the ninth position at its next actuation. If the dial at its first actuation has been turned beyond its third position, the cam-edge 181, engaging the pin 172, would have restored the lever 178 under the catch 179, and the stop 160 would not have been released. Means are described for restoring the stop 160 &c. when the telephone is hung up.

Two pairs of slats b are lengthways of the trousers, and two pairs a are arranged crosswise. Each set of slats keeps the other set apart; one or both pairs of the cross slats may cross the ends of the lengthwise slats ; or the lengthwise slats may cross the ends of one or both pairs of the crosswise slats, recesses being formed in the former to take the ends of the latter. The trouser legs are subjected to a lateral stretching owing to the arrangement of the slats. The members of the pairs of cross slats, preferably those of the upper pair, are provided at their ends with co-operating pins or projections e and holes or recesses, and means d for hanging up the press is attached to one of these members. The spring clips employed are preferably of the kind shown in Fig. 5, one arm being longer than the other and so bent as to engage the far edge of the slat and to prevent it from slipping off. In another construction, Fig. 6, the arms and the clips have pins h or projections, which may be stamped or pressed out on the metal, to engage holes or recesses in the slats; or the pins &c. may be placed on the slats and the holes &c. in the clips, as shown in Fig. 7.
