Title: Improvements in Telephone and like Plug Cords
Inventor: INGLEFIELD WILLIAM GEORGE
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-12-30
Abstract: 29,645. Inglefield, W. G. Dec. 31. Telephone systems; telephones.-Cords for use as telephone plug cords and for like electrical purposes in which an extensible cord is needed are constructed with in inner rubber cord around which are coiled the conducting-wires in neat regular coils and with the coils lying close together when the cord is not extended ; outside these wires is a covering of textile material with the weft and warp running diagonally to the length of the cord so as to permit extension. The cord and connection with the plug are shown in Fig. 2. The inner rubber cord b is attached by screws e to the bush of the plug, and the terminals of the conducting-wires c to two screws. The outer textile covering d ensures easy running over pulleys and at the same time prevents overstretching. If one end is secured by a bayonet plug to an overhead switchboard and the plug end allowed to hang down, the latter can readily be drawn down and inserted in a socket. It will instantly return, due to the contraction of the rubber, when released. Such a cord can also be used for supporting a telephone instrument from an overhead wire, and can be drawn down to suit the height of the user.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Registering Mechanism for Meters
Inventor: SCRAFFORD DANIEL EDWARD
Filed: 1905-07-12
Granted: 1905-10-05
Abstract: 14,408. Scrafford, D. E. July 12. Counting - apparatus.-A step-bystep movement is given to the counting-train of a gas, electric, or other meter, by the aid of a notched cam which engages a rocking lever linked to a driving-pawl. The cam is in two parts, the lower of which is fixed to a vertical spindle driven as shown in Fig. 2 from a shaft U, itself driven by the measuring-device. The 'upper part 0, Fig. 5, of this cam may a'so be fixed to the spindle, but preferably carries a spring 17 fastened to a pin projecting from this spindle through a slot. This spring pulls the jaws 12 of the cam together, so as to resist the passage of a roller 13 on the rocking lever 2, and prevent oscillation of this lever. The rocking lever 2 is weighted so that the roller 13 tends to rise, and when this occurs, a link 4, Fig. 2, on the end of this lever advances the first counting-wheel one division. This link 4 rocks a piece 5 which carries a pawl 6 pressed by a spring against a stop on the piece 5. The pawl 6 thus drives the pin-wheel E in one direction, but slips over its pins when the link 4 is lowered, a detent 10 holding the wheel E.

Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 19,259. Cornu, J., and Cornu, P. Sept. 21. 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Aerial machines without aerostats; propelling ; steering. - The ascent and propulsion of the machine are effected by a combination of screw propellers or turbines and adjustable inclined planes, the air currents from the propellers being directed downwards on to the planes. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the planes are in the form of louvers c adjustable by a lever g or otherwise and arranged below the propellers a. For ascending, the louvers are adjusted so that their planes are vertical. The propellers then simply lift the machine. By inclining the louvers as shown, the air currents from the propellers act on them to produce forward motion ; if they are then reversed in inclination they first act as a brake and then cause backward motion. If the louvers are closed, they serve as a parachute. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 comprises also the application of the adjustable inclined planes to a machine such as is shown in Fig. 3, in which the screwa a rotate on horizontal axes, and the planes c are arranged at one side of them. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 3927. Couade, M. Aug. 13, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Converting alternating and direct currents.-In servomotor transmitters of the type described in Specification 1686, A.D. 1907, the resistances between the commutator bars are so calculated as to give a close approximation to a sinusoidal current. Fig. 2 shows the ratio that r, the resistance from the bar at which the direct current enters to the bar at all angle a from it, must bear to R, the total resistance of one phase line, for varying values of a. Fig. 1 shows the arrangement of the resistances between the bars. Symmetrical bars on opposite sides of the diameter A-B may be connected together. This transmitter, with one or more synchronous receivers, may be applied to electric traction (1) by the use of a master controller or transmitter, the motion of which is copied by the controllers of the motors on the various carriages, or (2) by independent actuation of the transmitter, which drives all the motors in synchronism.
