Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 2344. Spiro, C. Jan. 29. Pencil-sharpeners. - A pencil-sharpener in which the cutting-mechanism is operated by the movement of the pencil itself comprises a cylindrical receptacle 9, Fig. 2, having a central stem 12 and a central pivot 13, to which is attached a rotatable cover 14 adapted to support a pencil-socket member 16 in such a manner that the cover can be revolved by using the pencil itself as a crank handle. The member 16 is pivoted to the cover 14 by a screw 15, and comprises a conical-ended socket 17 having a tapered opening 18, Fig. 5, through which the cutter operates on the pencil. A toothed wheel 22 on the stem 12 engages with a pinion 21, Fig. 6, carried by the cutter 19, which is also pivoted to the cover 14. The cutter-blades are arranged to oppose the tendency of the pencil to rotate in the fingers due to the friction in the socket. In order to regulate the depth of cut, the socket member 16 is radially, adjustable towards and away from the cutter, for which purpose a lateral projection 25 on the member 16 is set by means of a screw 27 and a spring 28 between two lugs 26 on the cover 14. In order to prevent lateral tilting of the pencil and the consequent breakage of the point, a support 29 is provided to hold the pencil at some distance above the point. This support comprises a circular disk rotatably mounted by a pin 33 on an arm 30 secured by a locking-screw 31 to the upper part of the socket 17. The disk has a number of differently sized openings 32, Fig. 3, adapted to fit pencils of various diameters, and a spring 39 is adapted to lock the disk in a set position by the engagement of the head of the socket 17 with one of a series of recesses 38 on the underside of the disk. In a modification, the disk is locked in set position by means of teeth on the disk and a spring-controlled pin on the arm 30.

Abstract: 6891. Rosenberg, E. March 20. Systems for conversion, employing rotary converters.-For starting-up a rotary converter or other synchronous machine, a separate starting- motor of the self-starting synchronous type is provided. A motor of this type, when connected to an alternating-current circuit, starts like an induction motor, owing to the eddy currents induced in the pole-faces &c., and on approaching synchronous speed automatically pulls into synchronism due to the presence of salient poles or of poles defined by means of an exciting-winding. Fig. 1 shows a starting-motor G coupled to the shaft of the main synchronous machine B, and, at starting, adapted for connexion to the line D through the switch L, the switch C then being open. The rotor F of the starting-motor is unwound, while the field magnet A of the main machine is angularly displaced in a forward direction with reference to the rotor F through a determined angle alpha so that the switch C may be closed without causing any disturbance in the line. The field-magnet of the starting-motor may carry an exciting winding fed with direct current from the commutator brushes of the rotary converter, in order to control the polarity of the latter. The rotor of the starting-motor may be built up of laminations and may be provided with a squirrelcage or a winding connected to slip-rings for starting-up. Specification 9644/12 is referred to.
