Title: Improvements in Locking-apparatus for Watch-mens' Electric Controls and the like.
Inventor: HINDERSIN HORST
Filed: 1904-12-20
Granted: 1905-02-23
Abstract: 27,916. Hindersin, H. Dec. 20. Tell-tales for checking watchmen &c. Relates to locking-apparatus for watchmen's electric controls and the like, which prevents over and under winding the clockwork mechanism. A key 1, Fig. 3, provided with a projection 2 adapted to pass through a longitudinal slot 3 in a socket 5, engages with the pins 6 attached to the main spring. Just before the key completes a revolution, a projection 8 on the pin 6 pushes aside a spring-pressed arm 10, Figs. 1 and 2, thereby releasing a projection 11, Fig. 7, from a recess 12 in a spring-actuated ring 17 rotatable on a toothed wheel 14 through a small angle limited by the slots 15 in which slide screws 16. When the key has completed one revolution, the head 18, Fig. 5, of the pin 8 enters a recess, shown in Fig. 1, in the end of the arm 10, further rotation being thus prevented. After the wheel 14 and contactdisc 21 connected thereto have run down, the projection 11 again engages the recess 12, when the groove 22, Fig. 5, is in such a position that the pin 8 is no longer locked by the arm 10. Directly the projection 11 leaves the recess 12, a pin 23 releases a spring-actuated arm 25. A second arm 27, Figs. 2 and 3, mounted on the same pivot 26, forces by means of a slot 28 and pin 34 the bifurcated end 30, Fig. 6, of a slide 29 against the key, and on the withdrawal of the key against the pin 6, thus preventing the insertion of the key while the driving-wheel 14 is running down. The slide 29 is withdrawn, just before the end of one revolution of the driving-wheel, by a pin 31, Fig. 7, moving the arm 25 back into its initial position. A locking- device 32, Fig. 2, is released by a resilient lever 36 when the second part of the movement of the slide 29 takes place, thus ensuring the starting of the clockwork only when the key has been removed. After a complete revolution of the contact disc 21 has taken place and the projection 11 has entered the recess 12, a pin 35 carried by the wheel 14 releases the lever 36, which re-engages with the revolving lever 32, with the consequent re-locking of the clockwork.

Title: Improvements in Sand Blast Apparatus.
Filed: 1905-05-31
Granted: 1905-10-12
Abstract: 11,458. Vereinigte Schmirgel und Maschinenfabriken Akt.-Ges. vorm. S. Oppenheim & Co. und Schlesinger & Co. June 1, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Sand blast.-To obtain continuous working in a sand-blast apparatus, two or more chambers arranged in pairs, independent of one another, are used, the chambers of each pair being alternately put under pressure, one supplying the sand for the blast while the other is being filled. The sand is placed in the storage tank a and enters the separate chambers g, h through valves d, e which are depressed against the action of springs f by the weight of the sand. Compressed air is supplied from the blast pipe through a branch pipe v, and passes through a three-way cock to pipes x, y and so to the chambers g, h. When the pressure is turned on to the chamber g, the valve d is held closed, and there being the same pressure above and below the sand it falls through the funnel n and channel o and the regulating-valve r, on to the platform p, whence it is blown by the blast along the pipe q. At the same time, the chamber h which is shut ofE from the tube q by the valve r, s, and from the compressed air by the three-way cock, is being filled with sand. When this chamber is fall, the cocks are altered so that it supplies the blast while the chamber g is being filled. The valve r, s comprises a sleeve r and plug s with bores, coinciding with the channels o, i, at an angle of about forty-five degrees to each other. By this means the supply of sand can be conveniently regulated and if necessary entirely cut off. Windows k, l are provided, and if necessary the blast can be turned off at the three-way cock shown to facilitate inspection.

Title: Improvements in Electric Train Control Systems.
Inventor: SUNDH AUGUST
Filed: 1905-07-21
Granted: 1906-07-21
Abstract: 15,045. Sumdh, A., and Magnuson, A. Feb. 16, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Couplings; switches; transformers.-Relates to the master control of electrically - propelled trains having alternating or pulsating current motors. The auxiliary control switches are operated electro-magnetically by a shunt from the alternating-current supply, and the switches are held by electro-magnets supplied with direct current from a generator on the car axle or driven by the car motor. The automatic accelerating-switches are operated by the direct icurrent. The controlling current is transmitted inductively from car to car by means of couplings consisting of induction coils. Fig. 8 shows the general arrangement on two cars ; 13,14,15 are the supply mains, 20 the alternating-current motor, 30 the direct current generator, 50 the master switches, 40 the inductive couplings, 80 the regulating-impedances for the motors, and 90 and 100 the starting or reversing switches. On operating a master switch 50, contact is made, say at 54, closing a circuit from the main 15<1> to the main 13<1> through the electro-magnet 103 of the starting-switch 100 and through the cut-oat switch 60. The motor then starts, the power circuit being closed at the contacts 106, 107. This drives the generator 30 and a circuit is closed through the electro-magnet 109 and contacts 108, holding the switch closed without chattering. To prevent reversal of the direct current when the driving- motor reverses, the brushes 33, 34, Fig. 6 are mounted on yoke 35, capable of limited movement on rollers 37, the friction of the revolving armature setting it either as shown or displaced through 180 degrees. A further movement of the master switch closes the of electro-magnets 110, 120 and closes direct-current circuits around electro-magnets 130, 140 150, 160 of switches controlling impedance sections; The switches are arranged to operate at different voltages and so adt progressively. The progress is controlled by the position of the master-switch. The construction of the inductive couplings is shown in Fig. 7. Each half-coupling consists of a casing containing U- shaped cores 45 carrying windings 46. When placed together, the cores meet and complete the magnetic circuit. A resistance switch 70, Fig. 8. may be provided for varying the resistance in the control circuit according to. the number of cars. in a train.

Title: A New or Improved Calendar Clock.
Inventor: SATTLER HEINRICH
Filed: 1905-09-28
Granted: 1906-05-03
Abstract: 19,650. Sattler, H. Sept. 28. Calendar mechanism.- In a clock-work calendar, a cam-disk i operates at the end of a short month to allow the days less than thirty-one to be passed over, the cam being altered for February at every fourth year. A lever Q, Fig. 5, rests on this cam and is on the same spindle as a detent lever r, Fig. 4, which when raised allows a lantern pinion to rotate a wheel f having a date-indicating hand on its spindle. Ordinarily, the detent r is raised once daily when a. third lever o, Fig. 6, on the same spindle is lifted by a lever p engaged by a pin on the hour-wheel of a clock. This leverp actuates a day-of-the-week indicator by a pawl, and also has on its spindle a bent lever s, Fig. 4. When the levers r, s are raised, the clock-work shown in Fig. 4 moves until a pin on the last wheel d is stopped by the bent lever s. On the release of the levers p, s, o, r, this clockwork can advance far enougH for the date to be changed before being stopped by the detent lever r. A month indicator may be actuated similarly, or by a pin and star-wheel from the date wheel f. In a modification, the lever Q is lifted by interposing in the clock-work shown in Fig. 4 another gearwheel provided with a one-notched disk, which raises the lever r and lowers it from day to day unless the lever Q falls on a cam-tooth. This allows these teeth to be made of even thickness and higher. Every four years a pivoted tooth X is lowered by coming against a flat part of a cam R, Fig. 5, which is driven by a fixed central pinion. This causes the February tooth to correspond to three days instead of four. The lever Q is held out of contact with its cam i except when the pin on the lever r enters the notch in the one-notched disk.
