Title: Improvements in Load Lifting and Lowering Apparatus.
IPC: B66F1/02
Filed: 1909-10-15
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 23,639. Marks, E. C. R., [Funck, P.]. Oct. 15. [Addition to 1700/08.] Jacks. - In place of the arc - shaped slotted piece described in the parent Specification, a solid are - shaped piece is used together with a movable locking piece designed on the lifting of the load to act as a fulcrum for the hand operating - lever. The frame comprises a base-. plate 1 and side plates 2. Pivoted at 3 between the latter is the load lever 4, the part 12 between the forked ends 6 abutting at 11 against a lower locking-piece 10 surrounding an arcshaped piece 7 carried between the side plates. To raise the load, the lever must be. moved down from the position shown in dotted lines. To accomplish this, a hand lever 24 is placed with its lugs 26 engaging notches 21 on the load lever and moved downwards. The first effect is to jam the blocks 18, 19 of the fulcrum piece 16 against the arc-shaped piece, thus fixing the fulcrum. Further downward movement raises the load which is sustained in any position by the blocks 13, 14 of the lower locking-piece gripping the piece 7 when pressure is removed from the handle. To lower the load, the lugs 28 of the hand-lever are placed in the notches 23 of the load lever and the blocks 13 are released by the shoulder 27 engaging the piece 10. If it is desired to lower by degrees, the handlever is moved upwards instead of downwards, the parts being so proportioned that the shoulder 29 moves the piece 10 through a less distance than the shoulder 27 for a given angular movement of the hand-lever

Inventor: JACKSON SYDNEY ALBERT
IPC: G01M3/28
Filed: 1909-12-01
Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 27,998. Jackson, S. A. Dec. 1. Bottling. - Relates to apparatus for partly exhausting siphons in order to introduce syrup, and also to test the efficiency of the valves. The siphon nozzle is introduced into the nozzle e of a suction pump, a tight joint being effected by packing e<1> which is clamped around the siphon nozzle by a ring E. The pump comprises a diaphragm A adapted to be depressed by a treadle c through a connecting-rod C. After exhaustion, the siphon is laid aside for a few hours and then its nozzle is introduced into syrup and the valve opened. If the syrup does not enter the siphon, it shows that the contained air is at atmospheric pressure, and therefore that the valve is faulty. Movement of the treadle c is limited by an adjustable stop F carrying a scale arm so graduated that predetermined quantities of syrup can be charged into the siphon according to the amount of air withdrawn.

Title: A Method of Regulating Compensated Single-phase Alternating Current Commutator Motors with Shunt Excitation.
IPC: H02K27/06
Filed: 1910-10-06
Granted: 1911-01-26
Abstract: 23,122. Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon. April 18, [Convention date]. Alternating-current commutator machines.- Relates to the speed-regulation and phase-compensation of shunt-excited single-phase motors having short-circuited brushes X1 and exciting- brushes Y1, the latter being connected to the secondary winding of an adjustable transformer T, the primary winding of which may be bridged across a varying number of sections or tappings S1 ... S12 of the uniformly distributed stator winding by means of switches K1, K2. The invention consists in decreasing the number of stator winding-sections bridged by the exciting- brushes when passing from synchronous speed to higher or lower speeds, and at the same time increasing the angle between the axis of the bridged sections and the axis of the brushes X1 towards one side or the other, the pressure at the exciting-brushes also being increased by adjusting the transformer T. For speeds up to synchronism, the contact-bar K1 rests upon the contacts a1, b1, and the bar K2 and the adjustable transformer contact K3 are moved towards the right, until, at synchronism, the bar K, stands upon the contacts a7, b, and the contact K3 stands upon the point C2. The primary winding of the transformer thus bridges the whole of the stator winding, and its transforming ratio is at a minimum. For speeds above synchronism, the bar K. remains upon the contacts a7, b7, whereas the bar K1 is moved towards the right and the contact K3 towards the left. The single sections of the stator and transformer windings need not be'equal to each other, and, in place of the transformer T, a single-coil transformer or a potential regulator may be employed. At starting, inductive or ohmic resistances, or a part of the stator winding, may be inserted between the brushes X1.

Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 26,289. Degener, H., and General Composing Co. Nov. 12, 1909, [Convention date]. Magazines and escapements for type-bar making machines. In machines in which the matrices have characters in opposite edges, the characters on either edge are brought into use by rotation of the magazine about its longitudinal axis through an angle of 180 degrees. The magazine is mounted to turn about a pin 2, Fig. 2, which is supported by a part 3 from the machine frame. Any suitable device may be used for holding the magazine in either position. The magazine has on opposite faces two sets of escapements 4, 5, Fig. 3, which are mounted in combs connected together by sliding lateral plates 6. After reversal of the magazine, the upper set of escapements is moved out of, and the lower set into, engagement with the matrices, by means of a crank operated from either side of the machine. During one part of the movement, both sets of escapements are in engagement with the matrices, which are thereby prevented from falling out of the magazine. The matrices are released in the usual way by releasing-devices 10 operated by keys. To ensure that any key will always release matrices bearing the same character in spite of the reversal of the magazine, the matrices in the first channel on the lefthand side of the magazine have on their front edges the same characters as the matrices in the last channel on the right-hand side have on their rear edges, and so on. Distributing matrices.-To ensure the return of the matrices to the proper channels, the distributing-bar 11, Fig. 5, is in two parts, one part having tooth combinations on the front and having the teeth cut away on the rear side. The second half of the bar has tooth combinations on the rear side, and has the teeth cut away on the front side. A short central part of the bar has full teeth on both sides. The matrices are in two corresponding groups, the members of each group having tooth combinations on one side and complete teeth on the other. To prevent turning of the matrices, which are thus supported on one side only, the bar 11 has a projection 12 which enters notches 13 in the matrices.
