Inventor: TREZISE JOHN MICHELL GRYLLS
IPC: G01J1/20
Filed: 1910-06-27
Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 15,408. Trezise, J. M. G., and Sheppard, W. J. June 27. Photometric apparatus.-The exposed surfaca of the photometer light L is reduced or localized by attaching a screen S with a small translucent aperture in such a manner that the photometer light may be moved up close to the photometer screen P, enabling high illumination to be obtained with a large range in a small compass. A movable screen T with a translucent aperture may be introduced between the light L and the screen P, the distance between it and the light L being adjustable, to increase the range still further. The distance between the light L and the screen S may also be varied for calibration purposes, or to compensate for variations in the intensity of the light L. The photometer screen P consists of an opaque screen with an elliptical opening D, half filled with translucent material and half left open. The observer looks at the surface Q which is being tested through a chamber G and through the aperture D. Darkened reflecting-surfaces K may be inserted in the chamber G to reduce the brilliancy of the illumination. The illumination on the photometer screen P may be varied by moving the photometer light L away from it in a straight, curved, transverse, or diagonal path.

Title: Improvements in Recording Devices for Weighing Machines.
Inventor: QUERTIER HILARY
IPC: G01G23/18
Filed: 1910-08-23
Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 19,702. Quertier, H. Aug. 23. Printing-apparatus for weighing- apparatus. - Relates to recording- devices for weighing-machines, of the kind wherein a pencil or the like is automatically positioned over a travelling band and a record made, and the invention consists in providing types instead of the pencil or the like previously used. In a machine for weighing carcases, a pivoted pointer 1, Fig. 1, indicating weights on a graduated scale in the ordinary manner, swings across a paper band 5 mounted on rollers 3, 4. The band, Fig. 19, is divided longitudinally into divisions 9 representing units of weight and transverse concentric divisions 10 representing the number of carcases weighed. Double lines 11 representing certain limits of weight divide the carcases into grades. As the pointer swings from the dotted-line position, shown in Fig. 1, a projection 24 thereon catches a pawl 22 and thereby traverses a pawl 15, which in turn rotates a ratchet-wheel 14 and gives a feeding movement to the band 5. In alternative constructions the roller 4 tends to rotate under the influence of a spring, but is retained by the pawl 15 except at such times as the projection 24 or an electro-magnet temporarily disengages the pawl. The pointer 1, Figs. 1 and 5, carries on a sleeve 35 three markers or typers representing different qualities of carcases any one of which typers may be rotated by hand into printing position, the printing being effected by operating a lever 39 and thus pressing the typer on to an inking-ribbon 6 situated adjacent to the band 5. In alternative constructions each typer is mounted on a separate lever, and the levers are operated by push-buttons or by means of a switch connected to three solenoids or electro-magnets. Typers 55, Fig. 1, are employed for recording on the side of the tape rejected carcases or other matter. In a modification, the different qualities of carcases are recorded on bands of different colour. In this case, each band 5, Fig. 21, travels beneath a drum 60, which is provided around and across its periphery with impression stamps or dies and is rotated in unison with the pointer 1. A record may then be made upon the band by depressing a button 67, and thereby elevating a plate 64 so as to press the band against an inking-tape interposed between the band and the drum. The depression of the button 67 also feeds the band forward by means of a pawl 68 and ratchet-wheel 69.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Transfer Mechanism of Calculating Machines.
Inventor: WOLTER CARL
Filed: 1910-09-12
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 21,213. Wolter, C. Sept. 12. [Addition to 20,681/10.] Transfer mechanism. - The externally-operated apparatus described in the parent Specification is modified by providing separate sliding and rocking plates for addition and subtraction transfers respectively. Manual adjustment from the addition to the subtraction position is thus unnecessary. The transfer pins 17 are placed upon the pinions 2 transmitting the actuating- movements to the numeral-wheel pinions 3, and are adapted to displace a T-shaped trip-piece 15 in a direction dependent upon the rotation. According to the displacement, the upper or lower bar 4, 4<a> is freed from the locking action of one of the arms 12, 12<a> of the trip-piece, and is impelled forwards by its spring 20 or 20<a> with a rocking and sliding movement determined by its mounting upon the pins 18, 19, the unitmovement of the higher wheel being simultaneously effected by one of the points 5, 6. Both transfer bars have downwardly-depending arms 11<a>, whereby they may be re-set by a slide rod 26 receiving movement from the main operating-parts of the register at the conclusion of the cycle of operations for each item.

Title: Improvements connected with the Charging of Storage Batteries.
Inventor: SCHMIDT FREDERICK WILLIAM
IPC: H02J7/04
Filed: 1910-10-04
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 22,888. Schmidt, F. W. Oct. 4. Charge indicators.-A thermal cut - out is placed in a storage battery to open the charging-circuit when a predetermined temperature is exceeded owing to the battery being fully charged, and consists of a bimetallic strip 13 supported on a base in a casing 11 of electrically-conducting acid-resisting material such as lead. An adjustable contact 14 is connected with a terminal 20, which has a binding-nut 24 of insulating-material, and a transverse hole for a conductor, and is insulated from the casing, the joint being made air-tight by 'means of an insulating-filling 22. The exposed parts of the terminal 20 and binding-nut are covered by acid-resisting material such as insulating-tape. When the strip 13 curves owing to heating, it closes a circuit from the acid of the cell in which it is placed, through the conductor to an electromagnet, the armature of which trips a cut-out, such as a knife-switch, in the charging-circuit. The casing contains oil, which conducts heat to the strip and prevents the formation of an arc. The casing fits in a perforated jacket 25 of insulating-material such as hard rubber.

Title: Improvements in or applicable to Machines for Dyeing, Sizing, Bleaching, Mordanting, Scouring and like Processes, Cotton, Wool, Silk, Linen, and other Materials in the Hank.
Inventor: LORD GEORGE SPENCER
IPC: D06B3/08

Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 7701. Lord, G. S. March 28. Hank type.-In a machine for dyeing, sizing, bleaching, mordanting, scouring and similarly treating hanks of cotton, wool, silk, linen, &c., the hanks are alternately raised on their sticks out of and lowered into the treating vat by a travelling device which also turns round the sticks in the hanks between taking up and quitting the hank. The hanks hang on carriers x, preferably flat, Fig. 8, which rest in V-shaped grooves on the'top edges of the sides of a vat a, Fig. 1. On each side and outside the vat a, a frame &c. running on rails r<1> carries on the boss of a shaft c two or more, say four, radiating arms e. At its outer end each arm carries in an horizontal bearing a hollow spindle, the inner end g<1> of which is cup-shaped and formed with a groove g<2>, Fig. 6; each hollow spindle carries therein a spindle k, Fig. 7, having a round head H with a groove k<1> therein, which fits in and revolves in the cup g'. In operation, the frames d are moved along the vat, and the arms e on each side of the vat are caused to move together in the opposite direction; the cups g<1> which are in the correct upright position, Fig. 6, pick up a yarn-carrier x of which the spindles enter first the grooves g<2> of the cups g<1> and then those k<1> of the inner spindles k. In consequence of the further traverse of the arms, the carrier x is turned over before being redeposited in the V-shaped grooves by the action of a small toothed wheel l on the outer end of the inner spindle k which engages with a fixed spaced wheel m; at any part above the level of the vat, the wheel m has gear teeth corresponding in number to one-half (or one and a half &c. if two &c. complete turns of the carriers x are required) those on the small wheel l and, when not in gear with these, the small wheel l is able to slide over the plain periphery of the fixed wheel m owing to a flat formed by the cutting away of one tooth on the small wheel to the pitch line. The cups g<1> are kept upright by the operation of a chain p connecting small chain-wheels j, one on each hollow spindle, with a chain-wheel n to which is fixed a small toothed wheel gearing with a rack slidable on the spaced wheel m but secured thereto by a catch. When the frames d reach the end of the machine, an ordinary reversing- mechanism causes them to start on the return traverse and also reverses the rotation of the arms e. At the same time, the catch is released, and the rack is moved by engagement with a stud or the like so as to turn the cup g<1> through 180 degrees, shrouding the slot k<1>; consequently on the return traverse the carriers x are picked up and redeposited without being turned over. At the other end, the rack is again moved and the first traverse is repeated, and so on.
