Patent GB-191302511-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Control Mechanism particularly adapted for use in connection with Embroidery Machines.
Inventor: BRUNN ALFRED
IPC: D05C13/00
Filed: 1913-01-30
Granted: 1914-03-02
Abstract: 2511. Brunn, A. Jan. 30. Embroidery machines. - The work - frame is operated by means of electric motors and associated electro-magnetic clutches; either the clutches alone or the motors and the clutches being rendered operative by a circnit - controlling pattern-band. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement in which the motors are driven continuously, the circuits being independent of the pattern-hand, and the clutch coils 32 are energized during such times as the contact-pieces 28, 30 are pressed together by an embossed pattern-band. If the motors are to be started and stopped at the same times as the clutches, the motor circuits include pattern-hand controlled switches such as 28, 30 and may include other switches by means of which the patternband can cause the insertion and removal of resistances. Movements in opposite directions may be obtained by driving the same motors in opposite directions or by using two unidirectional motors arranged to run in opposite directions. Fig. 1 shows a method of compounding the movements occasioned by the motors. A pair of motors 2 drive a rack 18 which carries a second pair of motors 4 and the work-frame 1 vertically up and down. The motors 4, when energized, move an horizontal rack 22 which adds the horizontal movement to the vertical movement transmitted by it from the motors 2 to the frame.

Title: Improvements in Selective Impulse Transmitters.
IPC: H04M1/272
Filed: 1913-04-24
Granted: 1914-01-15
Abstract: 9703. Western Electric Co., [Western Electric Co.]. April 24. Electric selectors; impulse-transmitters.-An impulse-transmitter for selective signalling systems comprises a rotating shaft 5 carrying a number of cam disks 15 co-operating with a number of plungers 20. Spring contacts 25 under the joint control of any plunger and its corresponding cam disk are closed at a particular point in the rotation of the shaft when that plunger is depressed, and thus determine the number of impulses transmitted. The depression of any plunger 20 closes a pair of contacts 46. 47, of which the contact 46 connects one pole of a battery 87 to the circuit 85, 86 over which the impulses are to be sent, and the other contact 47 closes the circuit of a selfoperating device 65 which transmits impulses from a battery 67 to a relay 66 and to a magnet 11, which drives through ratchet mechanism 8, 9, the shaft 5 carrying the cam disks 15. During the first few steps of the shaft, the battery 87 is permanently connected to the circuit 85, 86 over a contact 57 controlled by a cam 55, so that the operation of the relay 66 produces no effect. As soon as this prolonged impulse is ended by the opening of the contact 57, the relay 66 intermittently connects the battery 87 to line over contacts 46, 80 until a spring 25, released by the depressed plunger, engages a notch 16 in the cam disk 15 thereby allowing the spring 25 to engage a common contact 40 so as to re-establish a permanent circuit for the battery 87 over contacts 40, 25. Current is then supplied to line for a period determined by the length of the notched part 16 of the disk 15. Shortly after the contact 25, 40 is opened, a catch 37 engages a tripping-finger 36 causing it to release a common latch-plate 35, which by engaging a notch 32 has held the plunger 20 in depressed position. The circuit of the magnet 11 is kept closed by a contact 51, which is opened when the shaft regains its normal position. The cams 15 are staggered so that the number of impulses sent to line depends on which plunger is depressed.

Abstract: 23,068. Tetley, E. Oct. 13. [Cognate Application, 26,783/13.] Projectile fuses. -Relates to fuses adapted to delay the action according to the resistance of the target, and consists in the combined use of a destructible abutment for supporting one of the percussive members and a spring or an equivalent thereof for causing the percussive member to rebound after the abutment has been destroyed. As shown in Fig. 1, the firing-pin c, d is held in place by a cup i, which resists weak targets, but is destroyed by the shock on stronger targets, whereupon a spring h is compressed and, after a certain delay, returns the firing-pin backwards towards the percussion cap a. The percussion cap a is carried by a pellet b which sets back and destroys a cup 2, on discharge, and, during flight, is armed by the centrifugal displacement of balls 4, while a ' tension ' element 9 prevents its creeping forward. In modifications, the spring is replaced by compressed air and by a small explosive charge.

Granted: 1914-04-23
Abstract: 24,471. Mello, F. S. B. de. Dec. 4, 1912, [Convention date]. Electrodes.-A copper-oxide depolarizer for a primary or secondary cell is made from a special ' allotropic ' or colloidal variety of the metal, which forms a suboxide in dilute alkali and a peroxide, now used, on exposure to air at ordinary temperatures. The starting material is cuprous sulphide, made by burning copper in sulphur vapour away from air. Small pieces of the sulphide are packed inside a network sheath and round a rod, both of which may consist of copper, and reduced to ' allotropic ' copper by use in a galvanic cell as a negative electrode in strong caustic soda opposed to zinc, an electromotive force of 0À7 volt being obtained. The copper electrode already partly oxidized is washed, and then allowed to peroxidize in air; it is then ready for use in a primary or secondary cell, for instance in caustic soda opposed to zinc. When exhausted, the peroxide can be regenerated by washing and then drying in air. An electromotive force of 1À3 volts is obtained, falling quickly to 1À1 volts and thereafter very slowly, the internal resistance being low.

Granted: 1915-03-25
Abstract: 7524. Bolam, T. H., Barnard, S. N., and Newman, A. S. March 25. Kinematograph apparatus.-Relates to apparatus, such as described in Specification 20,365/13, for producing or projecting a series of pictures in helical sequence in a wide film. The moving carriage l, Figs. 1 and 2, supporting the film and film feed-mechanism is mounted on a screw shaft k and guided by a forked extension l<1> which engages the rod a<5> of the frame. The objective mount n is on the opposite side of the carriage l to the film, which is held by a spring l<6>, against side edges l<3>, l<4>, of the gate. The edge l<4> of the gate is pivoted and held in both open and closed positions by a flat spring l<7>. The film gate or mask for projecting consists of a fixed part n<3> and a closing part m<1>, m<4> which is pivoted at one end of the frame and can ba turned away from the fixed part n<3> to facilitate inserting the film. The claw feed for the film and the intermittent advancement of the carriage along the screw shaft k are both effected from the handle b<1> through gearing b, b<2>, c<1>, and a cam c<2>, extending the whole length of the travel of the carriage. The cam c<2> reciprocates a lever g, Fig. 5, and a spring-controlled sleeve g<4> carrying at each end short crank-arms g<3> and claw feedarms g<6> freely pivoted thereon. The arms g<6> carry pins which move in gnides g<9> and have flat ends acted upon by springs g<7>. The arms g<3>, g<6>, thus normally move as one piece, the spring g<7>, supplying a resilient linkage as the pin g<8> is guided along the straight edges of the guides g<9>. The crank g<3> also carries a pawl j which, as it reciprocates, intermittently rotates the ratchet j<1> and sleeve j<2>, which has a pin j<3> in engagement with the screw shaft k. Means comprising a set of alternate pawls and ratchets are also described for varying the lateral feed of the carriage l. The spring pin will slide over the thread when the carriage is returned along the shaft k by hand. The screw shaft may be rotated by hand from the milled nut k<1>, Fig. 1, to centre the pictures. At the end of the lateral movement of the film carriage, a pin g<10> on the lever g rides on a projection a<6> and prevents any further intermittent movement of the film. The shutter shaft d' is driven from the handle b<1> through gearing b<2>, c<1>, c<2>, c<3>, d<1>. The shutter d<2>, Fig. 6, for projecting is mounted to rotate in the casing having the aperture e'. For exposures, another shutter, Fig. 7, with an adjustable blade d' is slipped on the end of the shaft d when the apparatus is in the casing f, and has a projection d' which enters a recess d' in the mounting of the inner shutter d<2>, to position it in the shaft.
