Abstract: 23,523. Krienitz, K. Oct. 17. Wheel-guards and obstruction-removers.-A guard for tramcars comprises a series of wedge pieces d separately movable so as to turn or slide upon an axle e, through a slot f. The wedges are held raised by a flap h which is pressed against the wedges by a rod i connected to a trip-member. When the rod i is moved away from the flap h, the wedges are depressed to the ground either by compressed air in a pipe a or by a series of springs. A leather cap j is secured to the front portion of each wedge by means of a spring k, and a rubber buffer l is located in a recess below each wedge. In place of the buffer l, a cap p of vulcanized rubber may be arranged under the leather cap j as shown in Fig. 6, with a thickened portion p<1> to fit into the recess o and arranged so as tn leave a space q at the toe of the wedge. When the wedge strikes the ground, the portion p<1> of the cap p enters the recess and draws down the end of the cap p as shown in Fig. 7, so as to compensate for unevenness of the track,

Abstract: 25,837. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Nov. 11. Ordnance breech mechanism.-Relates to electric primer lock-mechanism of the kind having a contactblock carried by the lock-frame and making contact with a large surface of the head of the primer, and of the kind in which the firing circuit includes a movable contact-piece which makes contact only when the breech is closed and locked. According to the invention, the movable contact-piece is also carried by the lock-frame and is under the influence of a retracting-device, such as is described in Specification 15,014/07, whereby the contact-piece is retracted and breaks the circuit prior to the opening movement of the lock-frame, means being provided for retaining the contact-piece in the retracted position until the breech is again closed and locked. Figs. 2 and 3 are respectively outside and sectional plans of the lock mechanism. The retracting-lever E', of the kind set forth in the above-mentioned Specification, is pivoted at e<2> to the box-slide B, and acts through co-operating parts e, e' upon a sleeve E<1> connected to the contactpiece E. A spring E<1Î> presses the piece E into contact with the stem D' of the contact-block D. Ribs B' on the box-slide co-operate with parts of the sleeve E<1> to hold the contact-piece in the retracted position during the movements of the lock-frame.

Abstract: 29,549. Jackson, J. E. Evans-, [Powers Accounting Machine Co.]. Dec. 22. Selective punching machines for cards in which one of a series of punches is selected and operated manually, the whole series being then traversed automatically transversely to the series into position for punching the perforations of successive columns. The card to be punched is introduced into slotted guides 13 and abuts against a stop 14, its free end being secured by a spring clip 1<a>. A punch-supporting carriage 20 and connected die-plate 21 are adapted to be traversed by hand longitudinally of these guides, the initial position of these parts, corresponding to the column required to be perforated, being indicated by the reading of a pointer 29 on a scale placed in a holder 15. The punches 4, resiliently supported, are adapted to be depressed by a resilient plunger 3<a> mounted in a carrier 3 adapted to be moved into position over the particular punch to be operated. The plunger 3<a> is operated by the depression of a lever 5<b>, which is mounted for transverse movement with the carrier 3. This transverse adjustment is indicated by a pointer 32 worked over a scale 27. The operation of the lever 5<b> serves to operate mechanism for automatically feeding the punch-carriage and its appurtenances into position for punching the sucessive column on the card. For this purpose, the shaft 5, on which the lever 5<b> is adapted to slide and rock is furnished with a lever 5<a> adapted, during the operation of the punch, to force into locking engagement with a rack 18 against the action of a spring 61 a tooth 6<a> and to advance through suitable link-wok the dog 6<d>, so that the tooth 6<h> passes into engagement with the next tooth of the rack 18. By this means, the lower portion of the spring 61 is tensioned, which serves on the ascent of lever 5<b> &c. to move the carriage 20 one step forward. A spring-controlled stop 6<k> serves to prevent the ascent of the tooth 6<h> while the spring 61 is tensioned.

Switches, quickaction; springs, disposition of.-A push-buttonoperated quick make- and-break switch, which is enclosed within a casing 10 recessed within a wall &c., comprises fixed clip - contacts 14 and a switch blade 16, pivoted on a post 17 and having a hollow cylindrical part 25 containing a helical spring 26 and a hollow plunger 27, upon the recessed closed end of which bears a pin 29, pivoted at 30 to the upturned lug 31 of a rocking frame 19, also pivoted on the post 17 and operated through pin-and-slot connexions by push-buttons 23, 24. The pivoted end of the switch blade has an extension 18, which lies between two downwardly-extending pins 20, Fig. 3, on the rocking-frame so as to afford a lost - motion connexion between the frame and the blade. In the ' on ' position shown in Fig. 1, the pivot 30 lies to one side of the line joining the point of the pin 29 to the centre of the post 17, so that when the button 24 is pressed, the pin compresses the spring 26 until the dead-centre is passed, whereupon initial movement is imparted to the switch blade by the lost-motion connexion between the extension 18 and the pins 20, and the spring completes the ' off ' movement rapidly. The pin then lies on the opposite side of the dead-centre, and a rapid closing movement is produced when the projecting button 23 is pressed. A modified construction for a pendant switch is shown in Fig. 4, in which the projecting press - buttons are mounted on the ends of a reciprocating frame 39 having depending lugs 38 extending on either side of an upwardly - turned projection 37 on the switch blade, whereby the initial movement is imparted to the switch blade after a certain amount of lost motion has been taken up. The pin 29 is pivoted to the reciprocating frame at 40, as shown.
