Abstract: 12,408. Droop, W. O. G. May 21, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Telephonic relays and repeaters.-A repeating station is provided with relays for closing the circuit of the repeating microphones when current arrives from either of the distant stations, and for forwarding calling-current to the next station by means of a local battery. The repeating circuits are shown in their idle condition. The distant lines 1, 1 and 1<1>, 2<1> are bridged by the repeater magnets a, a<1> in series with the relays e, e'. The lines 2, 2<1> are connected, but the lines 1, 1<1> are disconnected at the contacts of the relays e, e', by which the microphones c, c' are normally opencircuited.

Filed: 1910-06-29
Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 15,594. Spence, R. M. June 29. Levels. - Relates to fore-and-aft trim-indicators for ships, of the kind in which a column of liquid oscillates in a U-tube in accordance with the trim. An open-ended gauge glass 1 is mounted in brackets 2, 3, and is connected up to an horizontal tube 4 terminating in an open-ended vertical tube 11 which constitutes the other leg of the U-tube. The apparatus is filled with liquid through a funnel 15 and tube 14 connected up to the tube 4. A wedge-piece 17 inserted into a slot at the same level as the zero mark a on the gauge-glass encloses the liquid in the apparatus, so that, if the instrument is filled when the vessel is on an even keel, the liquid rises to the zero mark on the gauge glass. In a modification, the filling-tube 30 is closed by a threaded cap 31 perforated at 32, so that air can escape up to the exact moment when the cap 31 closes, thus preventing any pressure being set up on the fluid in the device. Any oscillation of the liquid in the apparatus is damped by a pair of centrally perforated lead disks placed at the bottom of the gauge glass.

Abstract: 369. Derriey, J. Jan. 9, 1911, [Convention date]. Cylinder machines.-Relates to cylinder printing-machines, and consists in the provision of means for driving the bed and cylinder in correct rolling contact. In the perfecting- machine shown in Fig. 3, the cylinders carry segments 33, 34 which gear respectively with racks 12, 30 pivoted at opposite sides of the bed on pins 13. Each rack carries a roller 15 adapted to run on rails 16, 29 supported from the main frame on parallel links 17, 18 and 31, 32. These rails are connected by links 23, 28 to a lever 24, which is rocked by a. cam 26 on the shaft 27. The racks 12, 30 are thus raised and lowered alternately into engagement with their respective segments. The cylinders and bed may be driven, in addition, by the usual driving-gear. In a modification, the pivoted racks carry a roller which runs on a stationary track, having at the end a pivoted extension supported by a spring. This extension is formed with a depression which serves to turn the arm carrying the roller over from one side to the other at each end of the stroke. Each rack is thus held elevated in one direction of the travel of the bed and depressed in the other.
