Title: Improvements in Electric Switches.
Inventor: RAILING MAX JOHN
IPC: H01H21/42
Filed: 1910-11-09
Granted: 1911-09-14
Abstract: 26,009. Railing, M. J., and Garrard, C. C. Nov. 9. Switches, quick-action.-Snap-action switches of the kind in which the spring producing the quick break serves also to maintain the switch open or closed by acting on opposite sides of the dead-centre comprise moving contacts G, Fig. 2, mounted, with some free movement, upon an axle A upon which is mounted, also, a crank-piece B, to which is pivoted a link C, curved in such a manner as, in all positions, to clear the axle. A spring D has one end secured to the link C and the other fixed to the casing. The operating - handle has some lost motion upon the axle A; in the full-open position, the handle is held against a stop by a spiral spring between it and the axle. In opening the switch, the spring, by means of the link C, is carried across the dead-centre before the moving contacts leave the fixed contacts, and the final opening movement is produced by the spring. Switch mechanism interlocking with lids.-The switch cover is interlocked with the switch handle by means of a projecting part on the handle engaging a curved part on the cover.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Grinding Rollers such as those used in Roller Bearings.
IPC: B24B41/00
Filed: 1909-12-29
Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 27,456. Hoffmann Manufacturing Co., and Schmidt, O. A. Dec. 29, 1909. Rollers, treating. - A machine for grinding rollers for roller bearings, of the type described in Specifications 792/09 and 30,391/09, in which the rollers have a travelling rolling motion in a straight grooved guide across the face of a grinding - disk, and are transferred from the exit end of the grinding-groove to the entrance end along a passage of approximately the same width as the length of the rollers, is constructed with propelling - devices to propel the rollers along the passage. The rollers passing from the groove 3 in which they are presented to the grinding-disk 2 are brought into contact with a rotating-wheel 5, to which they are held by a plate 16 spring-pressed at 19 to enable the wheel 5 to grip the rollers, and then pass through a hopper 10 to another wheel 4, with a spring- pressed plate 11, which passes them down to the grooved guide 3 and the grinding-disk again. Modifications are described in which the propelling-wheels are adapted to pass the rollers up or down vertical guides to or from the grinding-disk.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Automatically Igniting and Extinguishing Gas.
Inventor: AUBERT ALBERT MAURICE
IPC: F23Q21/00
Filed: 1911-01-18
Granted: 1911-10-19
Abstract: 1341. Aubert, A. M., and Aubert, J. M. Jan. 18. Valves controlled from a distance.-In apparatus for controlling the supply of gas by varying the pressure in the supply pipe, two superposed differential surfaces 2, 3 are employed, coupled together by a weight 4 and rod 16, and provided with independent seals 11 arranged vertically one above the other. By this arrangement, the gas pressure is exerted effectively on one or other of these surfaces, according to the supply pressure, and the bells are maintained in the raised and open position until the gas pressure is lowered to a predetermined minimum. When the gas pressure is increased sufficiently to lift the lower bell 2, gas passes into the box 10 and exerts its effective pressure on the larger surface 3 only. The mercury seals may be made of such relative sizes as to operate with small or large differences of pressure. In a modification, the mercury seals and bells are replaced by flexible diaphragms.

In the modification shown in Fig. 3, a longitudinal head 21 is formed in the interior of the screw 14 adapted to be engaged by the camshaped head 19 so as to allow the screw 7 to make a partial revolution before the auxiliary screw 14 is rotated. In a further modification the screw 7 may be put into or out of engagement with the screw 14 at any time by substituting for the head 19 an expanding head operated by a Bowden wire or other suitable means. In another modification the vice nut may be mounted in a backwardly - extending slide, the rear end of which is engaged by one end of the auxiliary screw the other end of which is engaged by the vertical lug 18, the auxiliary screw being rotated by the operating screw through milled or fluted wheels or rack and worm gearing.

Two tubular connecting-pieces a, b are adapted to connect any of a series of tubes e terminating in a baseplate k with any of a second series terminating in a baseplate i. The tubes a, b are connected by ball joints c, c<1> so that either can be moved freely independently of the other. The ball-joint members c, c<1> are mounted freely in members 9, 10 rigidly supported by rods z. The mouths of the tubes d, c are arranged radially with regard to the pivot of the tubes a, b. An air - tight closure between the ends of the tubes is effected by a cap g screwed on to the sleeve h and carrying a closing-sleeve l fitting over a packing-ring s surrounding the tubes d, e. The joint is released by rotating the member g against the influnce of a spring. The connecting piece is then brought over the mouth of the tube selected, and the member g is released, whereupon the spring forces the sleeve tight against the packing-ring, the screw-thread being of very quick pitch. In a modification, a fixed tube may be connected to any of a set of tubes by a single connecting-piece connected by a bail joint to the fixed tube. In further modifications, a common fixed member is arranged to carry two or more connecting-tubes connected to it hy two or more ball-joints.
