Inventor: SCHOL CARL HEINRICH
IPC: C04B28/08
Filed: 1911-11-29
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 26,704. Schol, C. H. Nov. 29. Drawings to Specification. Making bricks.-Light bricks, slabs, &c. are made from blast - furnace slag, by utilizing bulky porous lumps obtained when granulating the slag as the filling - material, and finely ground slag, with or without lime, as the binder. To obtain a stronger product, the lumps may be individuallv coated with moist mortar which is allowed to harden before making up into bricks or the like. This end is also attained by rolling the lumps as they leave the granulating-tank, in dry mortar. To render the blocks frostresisting, calcium chloride or the like is either added to the water, or mixed dry with the binding-agent.

Abstract: 27,715. Markmann, C. Dec. 10, 1910, [Convention date]. Spring motor-starting devices. - Enginestarting mechanism is described in which a spring is wound up from the transmission gear by the action of applying the brake, and, in unwinding, turns the crank-shaft of the engine for starting, the action of releasing the brakes being used to actuate the starting-mechanism. The spring i supplies the motive power and is connected to the engine shaft p by a shaft k and chain and ratchet gear m, n, o. On applying the brake, the lever t bearing against a flange q on the wheel c presses the wheel into gear with the pinion c on the shaft a. When the wheel has made almost a complete revolution, the lever drops into a notch s in the flange, the spring d pushes the wheel c out of engagement with the pinion, and the lever t locks the gear against reverse motion. On release of the brakes, the lever t releases the wheel c, which rotates under the influence of the spring i until stopped by the projection r engaging the lever t or a stop v.

Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 19,462. Wahl, R. Sept. 5, 1911, [Convention date]. Preserving food. - A vinegar substitute for preservative and pickling purposes, &c. is prepared by fermenting with lactic acid bacteria a liquid prepared from whole grain, bran, middlings, shorts, gluten, brewers' or distillers' grains, malt sprouts, flour, meal, seeds, such as flax seed, linseed, hemp seed, cotton seed, the cakes forming the residue after extraction of oil from seeds, sugar beets, sugar cane, grapes, olives, or residues obtained from them, yeast and extracts, meat and extracts, amino and peptid bodies, &c. Mineral matters, such as phosphates, potassium salts, &c. and sugar may be added. The fermentation is carried on at 45-55‹ C. until 1-3 per cent of lactic acid is formed. The liquid may be concentrated. In the case of materials, such as malt or malt sprouts, which contain lactic acid bacteria, inoculation with bacteria is unnecessary.
Patent GB-191219597-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Mechanism for Controlling Epicyclic Variable Speed Gears.
Inventor: DEFORDT JULES FREDERIC
IPC: F16H37/08
Filed: 1912-08-27
Granted: 1913-03-06
Abstract: 19,597. Defordt, J. F. Aug. 27. Variable speed epicyclic gearing comprises an epicyclic train controlled by a ratchet device operated by variable - throw eccentrics. A driving-shaft 2 carries a bevel-gear 4 and a worm 18. Planet gears 6, which mesh with the gear 4 and with a gear 5 on a driven shaft 3, are carried by a rotary casing 10, to which is secured a worm 27. The worm 27 meshes with a worm-wheel 28 fast upon a shaft 24, which carries variable - throw eccentrics 29. The eccentrics 29 are connected by links 41 and levers 22 to ratchet clutches 21 upon a shaft 15, which is driven at an invariable speed from the worm 18. When the eccentrics 29 are adjusted to zero eccentricity, the shaft 24 turns without resistance, the casing 10 slips round without retardation, and the shaft 3 remains at rest. As working eccentricity is imparted to the eccentrics 29, as by means of a rack 34, nuts 31, and screws 32, the ratchets 21 are oscillated on the shaft 15 in such a way as to tend to drive it faster. Since the shaft 15 cannot move faster, the ratchets 21 are retarded, and this retardation is transmitted through the shaft 24 to the casing 10. The shaft 3 is then driven with a speed controlled by the movement of the rack 34.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Davits.
Inventor: ROBERTS ROBERT DUNLOP
IPC: B63B23/18
Filed: 1912-09-23
Granted: 1913-09-23
Abstract: 21,577. Roberts, R. D. Sept. 23. Davits.-Relates to davits the heads of which are connected by a rigid bar so that the davits can be simultaneously slued out by worm gear attached to one davit post. According to the invention the rigid bar B is made adjustable in length, so that by shortening it the boats can be carried upwards and outwards until they rest against the davit posts, thereby increasing the promenade space. The bar B is split, the free threaded ends C being connected by a right and left handed sleeve A operated by a wheel E. An india-rubber ring D protects the working parts against corrosion. The device may be operated from the deck by chain mechanism engaging with the wheel E, the bight of the chai@ passing over another wheel supported either by a portable strut or by a bent stay resting against the shoulder of the operator. The worm engaging the worm-wheel K on the davit is mounted in hinged bearings so that it can be turned out of gear when required.

Title: Improvements appertaining to Pattern Surface Mechanism for Change Box Looms.
Inventor: JACKSON WILLIAM
IPC: D03D43/00
Filed: 1912-10-12
Granted: 1913-10-13
Abstract: 23,333. Jackson, W. Oct. 12. Change-box motions.-In cbange-box looms, four pattern cylinders 8,8<a>, 8<b>, 8<c>, Figs. 3 and 4, operating feeler levers 2, 3 or fingers 2<b>, 3<b> fixed to arms thereon, are used, mechanism being employed whereby the pattern cards on any one cylinder may control the rotation of any of the other cylinders. The cylinder 8<c> is fixed on a shaft 10 provided with a ratchet-wheel 9 operated by a ratchet 9<b>. The cylinders 8, 8<a>, 8<b> are mounted loosely on the shaft 10, and have ratchet-wheels 9<d>, 9<e>, 9<f> operated respectively by ratchets 19<d>, 19<e>, 19<f>. An additional ratchet-wheel 9<a> on the cylinder 8<c> is operated by a ratchet 9<c>. Pins 6<a>, 6<b>, 6<c>, carried by an arm 15<a> extending from the lever carrying the ratchet 9<b>, extend over central openings in the cylinders 8<a>, 8<b>, 8<c>. The pattern cards on these cylinders control the cylinder 8 by allowing or not allowing the ratchet 9<b> to fall low enough to operate this cylinder. A pin 6 controlled by the cylinder 8 is carried by the ratchet 9<b>, and thus controls the rotation of the shaft 10 and cylinder 8<c>. Additional control of the movements of the cylinders is effected by means of levers 11, 11<a>, ... 11<g> supported by a shaft 12 and having recessed parts x, Fig. 6, operated by the protuberances w, Fig. 5, which may be stamped on the pattern cards w<1>. Horizontal parts 111<b>, 111<c>, 111<d>, Figs. 2 and 4, extending from the pendent arms of certain of these levers can move the ratchets 19<c>, 19<f>, 9<d> about their pivots and thus control the rotation of the cylinders 8<a>, 8<b>, 8<c>. The levers 11, 11<b>, 11<g> controlled by the cards on the cylinders 8, 8<a>, 8<c> are fixed on the shaft 12, to which is fixed a pendent arm 111<c> having an horizontal portion for acting on the ratchet 19<f> for the cylinder 8<b>. Thus, the cards on the cylinders 8, 8<a>, 8<c> control the cylinder 8<b>. By similar mechanism, the cylinder 8<a> is controlled by the cards on the cylinders 8, 8<b>, 8<c>, and the cylinder 8<c> is controlled by the cards on the cylinders 8<a>, 8<b>, certain levers being carried by a tube 12<c> loosely mounted on the shaft 12, whilst other levers are mounted loosely on the tube. According to the arrangements described in the Provisional Specification, the movements of the cylinders are governed by moving their operating- ratchets about their parts by bell-crank lever arrangements, wherein the horizontal arms in contact with the pattern cards may be acted upon by springs.

The buoy carries a bell 29 and lamp 30 connected by cables to the submarine. The cable 31 may be connected to a throw-over switch by means of which it may be connected to a telephone. The casing also carries a tube by which air may be pumped to the submarine. The apparatus may be attached to a sunken vessel by divers, and if a sufficient number of buoys are used may be utilized to raise the vessel.
