One carbon 8 is normally held by a clutch 22, while the other, which is somewhat loosely fitted into its holder, passes through an eye 14 on a lever 15. An arm 24 of the lever serves to disengage the clutch from the carbon when the current fails. The lever 15 is connected to a three-armed regulating-lever 17 by a link 16, which, when the lamp is inoperative, is in line with the pivots 25, 27 of the link and the lever. The lever 17 may be weighted so that it tends to assume the position shown. In a modification, the upper end of the link is connected to one arm of the regulating-lever, and an additional series solenoid is provided having a pointed core which drops into a notch in a curved surface on this lever when the lamp is out of use. An arccontrolling magnet may be provided.

Title: Improvements in Registering Locks.
Inventor: WELLS ELISHA FORD
Filed: 1907-01-28
Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 2162. Wells, E. F., and Lummus, J. N. Jan. 28. Locks, key.-Relates to a registering-device for locks, by means of which the number of the key last used to open the lock is automatically registered. The device is shown applied to a padlock. Mounted in the casing 10, to bear against the curved side thereof, is a guide-piece 15 with peripheral slots 16 in which are carried segments 17, Fig. 10, bearing numerals on their outer surfaces and provided with projecting pieces 18<1>, with which the key bit is adapted to engage to place certain numerals opposite apertures 18 in the casing, according to the key used. In the part 18<1> of each registering-segment 17 is pivoted a pawl 20', which is caused by a spring 21 to bear against the wall of the casing, and thus retain the segment in any position into which it is placed by the key. Pivoted on a screw 22 in the casing is a plate 21<1> which, under the control of the spring 27, tends to return all the segments 17 to their zero position. Normally, however, the plate is retained in a position corresponding to the key last used by a spring pawl 30 engaging the ratchet teeth 33. In unlocking, the parts being in the position shown in Fig. 1, the key is inserted in the position shown dotted and turned in a clockwise direction. The key bit first raises the locking-lever 46 and then withdraws the bolt 40. The key cannot then be turned back, owing to the shape of the keyengaging part 48 of the lever. On continuing to turn, the key bit engages the lever 34 and thereby releases the pawl 30 from the ratchet 33 and allows the plate 21<1> to return all the segments to their zero position. The key bit next comes into contact with the projecting arms 18<1> of the seg. ments 17 and moves these along, the particular segments moved, and the distance each is moved from zero depending on the particular key used, so that the number of the key appears through the openings 18. The key can then be withdrawn. The belt is shot by the spring 41.

Title: Improved Measuring and Stopping Action for Spinning, Roving and like Machines.
Filed: 1907-02-01
Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 2615. Walton, F., and Tankard, Ltd., J. Feb. 1. Stop-motions. - Spinning, roving; &c. machines are provided with mechanism for stopping the machine when a predetermined length of yarn has been wound, and also after a predetermined number of doffings has been effected. A wheel A, driven slowly by worm gearing from the front roller, is mounted on a fixed stud B, which also carries the boss H of a lever G, and a ratchetwheel F. Holes a<3> are provided in the wheel A, with any of which a pointer K may be engaged so that when the required length of yarn has been wound on a bobbin the pointer comes against the lever G. The movement thus given to the leaver G causes the pawl g thereon to turn the wheel F through a tooth and bring a deep slot h in the boss H opposite a fixed part b on the stud B. A compressed spring a<1> then moves the wheel A and also the lever G along the stud ; the wheel is thereby disengaged from the worm and rotated back to its zero position with the pin a<4> thereon against the fixed stop j<1>, and the hinged end g<2> of the lever G being moved clear of the spring-controlled retaining wheel L, a stop-motion of ordinary construction also being operated to stop the machine. Doffing is now effected and fresh bobbins supplied, and the mechanism is reset by pressing back the wheel A, engaging the shallow notch h<1> of the boss H with the part b, and re-engaging the end g<2> of the lever with the notch in the wheel L. 'The pawl is engaged with the wheel F so that, after the desired number of doffings have been effected, a projection f<1> on the wheel comes against a stop h<2> on the boss Hand prevents the mechanism from being reset, as-previously described, until the wheel F has been reset with regard to the pawl g. Backward movement of the wheel F is prevented by a deteut m carried by a pointer M fixed in front of the wheel.

Granted: 1908-09-17
Abstract: 2785. Fairfax, J. S., and Bousfield, G. W. Feb. 7. Gearing of general or unspecified application. - A known arrangement of reducing-gear is adapted to form a compact reducing-gear for winding, traversing, and like purposes where space is restricted, especially for use in mixing operations. The invention is described in connexion with a slowly running belt for the transmission of power or for conveying material. The actuating-shaft a revolves in bearings formed in two standards c, c<2> secured to a suitable base, and has keyed to it a drum d. The standard c is formed as a gear box and has fixed to it a toothed annulus h<1>. Power from the driving - motor is transmitted to a sprocket j attached to a carrier e mounted loosely on the shaft a. Studs f are fixed to the carrier, upon which pinions g, h of diverse pitch revolve loosely, the wheel h gearing with the fixed annulus and the wheel g with an annular wheel formed on a sleeve i<1> keyed to the shaft a, these annular wheels being, also of diverse pitch. A low speed is thus given to the shaft a. A cover l for the gear case is provided, and also covering-plates j<1>, k. The drum may be replaced by a sprocket-wheel, in which case the bearing c<2> is dispensed with. Specifications Nos. 7029, 8117, 9414, and 9415, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Locomotives &c.], are referred to.
