Title: Improvements in Quick Adjusting Micrometer Gauges.
Inventor: RUSSELL FREDERIC WILLIAM
IPC: G01B3/18
Filed: 1910-01-25
Granted: 1910-07-21
Abstract: 1840. Russell, F. W. Jan. 25. Linear-dimension gauges.-To facilitate quick adjustment of a micrometer gauge, the nut in which the micrometer screw works is sprung, and is provided with means for engaging and disengaging the screw at will. A sleeve F moving on the nut sleeve is normally thrown outwards by a spring-pressed guided trigger G so as to engage the nut and screw by engaging the conical end e<1> of the nut. A split ring J with guiding-tongues j is carried on the coned end of a fixed sleeve B, up which it rides when the trigger retracts the movable sleeve F. The ring then forms a guide and stop for the thimble D so as to prevent complete withdrawal of the micrometer screw.

Abstract: 10,362. Haworth, A. April 27. Sheet material, binding edges of.-In a machine for binding the edges of a fabric the binding - material is caused to encircle a wire by means of a folding device and is then gripped into position by the wire by passing between two concave rollers. The doubler, Fig. 4, comprises a block 8, supported by an arm 14, and a helical guide-strip 7 forming at the fore end 9, at which the binding-material 4 and the wire are introduced, a continuation of the face 8. The rollers 15, 17, Figs. 1 and 2, are rotated from a hand-wheel or power-driven worm and worm-wheel 25, 26 by gears 22, 24, 23, 21. The roller 15 is brought to a fine edge at 16 in order to tuck the edge of the binding beneath the wire. The bearing 18 of the wheel 21 and roller 15 is carried by a fork 28 fixed on a spindle 30, which is movable longitudinally, against the action of a spring 11, by a rod 32 pivoted at 34 and sliding in a slot 33 having an extension 36, or by other means. The wheels 21, 23, 24 are connected by links 37, 38 to allow of this motion; the wheels 22, 24 may also be so connected or the link 38 may be dispensed with.

Abstract: 22,760. Liddle, J., [Buderer & Co., R.]. Oct. 1. Make-and-break switches, mechanical; clockwork actuation. - A time - switch for lighting-circuits comprises a single clock-work, the usual adjustable cams 22, 23, 24, and spring-pressed levers 19, 20, 21 which actuate a pawl 11 connected to a contact - lever 16, whereby the lighting - circuit is closed for a predetermined period, after which a second circuit is closed for a further period for the intermittent lighting of stair-cases, store-rooms, &c. In the two extreme positions of the pawl 11, into which it is moved when pins 25 on the levers 19, 20 drop into the recesses 45 of the disks 22, 23, the contact-lever 16 makes contact with the springs 14 or 15 respectively, thereby closing the circuit for the regular or intermittent lighting. When the pin 25 on the lever 21 drops into the recess 45 of the disk 24, the contact-lever is brought into the middle position, where it is held by the spring 18, both circuits being broken. Electro-magnetic switches; retarding-devices. -For the intermittent lighting of the lamps in the second circuit, a solenoid 26, energized by pressing a button 44, is provided. An extension 28 of the core 27 carries a pin 29, which, when the core is drawn inwards, moves the contactlever 30 into contact with a contact-spring 34. The contact-lever is held on against the action of a spring 32 by a catch 35. When the solenoid is de - energized, the core is gradually drawn outwards by a spring 42, the movement being retarded by ratchet mechanism operated by the clock-work, until a pin 38 engages the catch 35 and releases the contact-lever 30. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 19,386/00 and 5863/01, [Class 3, Advertising &c.].
