Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Metallic Filament Incandescent Lamps.
IPC: H01K3/06

Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 28,576. Deutsche Gasgl³hlicht Akt.- Ges. (Auerges.). July 19, [Convention date]. Filaments, supports for.-A filament is wound in a zigzag over delicate springy supports cl by the use of adjacent strong auxiliary supports b, which are suhsequently moved sideways to release the filament and then axially away from the filament - carrier. The mounted filament may be incandesced, preferably in an oxygenfree atmosphere, and m a y be stretched by moving the auxiliary supports slightly. Fig. 1 shows an apparatus for use with filamentcarriers having rigid hooks c at one end and spring hooks d at the other, but both ends may have spring hooks. A revoluble stand e carries a lamp-stem, which is positioned by a clamp f so that the spring hooks d are about 1 mm. above the auxiliary supports b, of which only two are shown. These supports b are pivoted below a block u on a bracket t slidable vertically, and can be moved inwards by raising a central rod o. A lever r, when depressed slightly, raises the bracket t and block a sufficiently to stretch the filament, which is supplied with current through its leading-in wires by clamps k, connected to springs bearing on coupling-rings on the standard. A second lever l, when depressed, operates the rod o and disengages the auxiliary supports b from the filament. Further depression of the first lever r raises the auxiliary supports clear of the filament-carrier, the lever l being linked to the lever r so that by abutting against a stop u it keeps the auxiliary supports in their inward position. Reference is made to the use on a filament-carrier of auxiliary supports which after mounting are twisted or cut off.

Abstract: 16,228. Prokofiew, G. July 11. [Addition to 12,749/10.] Automatic-feed weighers.-The weighing and packeting machine described in the parent Specification is modified by introducing into the feed hopper devices for obtaining a more regular flow of material, and by replacing by a toothed wheel the leather-rimmed cam-wheel which was' intermittently rotated to open the feed-gates. Inside the feed-hopper c', Fig. 2, above the skeleton drums c<8> previously used, is arranged a gauze c<6> attached by an imperforate cone c<5> to an axial shaft c<7> which is rotated by the feed-drum shaft c<8*>. An inclined plate may be arranged above the gauze over each opening c' to deflect the material through the mesh. The material is stirred by a parallel-sided screw c<15> and a tapered screw c" rotating in opposite directions at different speeds. The chambers containing the skeleton drums c<8> may be replaced by delivery tubes. The cam - wheel f, Fig. 9, is now formed with a toothed periphery having a gap f<2> which is partially filled by a spring-pressed pivoted block f<4> bearing teeth corresponding to those on the cam-wheel. In the inoperative position the cam-wheel is held by a catch f<3> with the gap f<2> opposite a rotating pinion g<1>, which replaces the roughened wheel previously used, but when the cam-wheel is required to operate, an additional electrical contact attached to the beam energizes an electro-magnet f<9> and withdraws the catch f<3>. A weight f<8> then displaces the cam-wheel so as to gear with the pinion y', the resilience of the block f<4> preventing damage to the teeth.

Abstract: 25,116. Parsons, H. Nov. 2. Reversing-gearing for driving a screw propeller, worm, or other shaft, in which there is end thrust, utilizes this end thrust in either direction to maintain a clutch or cone in engagement, without axial movement of the shaft. Bevel-gears B<2> carried in a revoluble box F mesh with a gear B' fast on this driven shaft D and with a gear B fast on an alined driving-shaft C. A conical extension F' of the box F is adapted to be engaged internally by a cone G, for direct driving, and externally by a cone H, for reversed driving. The cone G slides on a feather on the shaft C, while the cone H is non-revoluble and slides inside a fixed casing A.

Abstract: 2814. Nairn, J. G. Feb. 3. Studs and the like, detachable or externally-applied. -A non-slipping device for the sole or heel of a boot or shoe comprises a base-piece B with studs or a roughened surface on its lower face and provided with a central tapped hole to take a screw D. The part of the screw immediately below the head G is thinned so that, after the threaded part has been screwed through the plate B, tho plate can rotate freely on the screw. The screw is adapted to enter a socket A driven into the tread of the boot. The exterior of the socket mav be corrugated or barbed to prevent its rotation. Pins F may be provided on the upper surface of the plate B, if it is desired to maintain it in a fixed position. The socket A is closed by a screwed plug when the base-piece B is not in use. The end portion of the screw D or of the screw plug may be of slightly smaller diameter than the remainder, to facilitate insertion in the socket. The socket may be closed by a revolving shutter. In a modification, the screw D is replaced by a spigot which is split lengthwise at its end, the springy prongs thus formed being forced together as the spigot is inserted in the socket. The Provisional Specification describes also modifications in which:-(1) the base-piece is provided with a central stud, having laterally projecting pins, which is inserted into the socket and secured by a bayonet joint, the plug for closing the socket when the base-piece is not in use being similarly attached ; (2) a spigot on the basepiece is used, the hollow rounded head of which is split and filled with india-rubber or similar compressible substance to cause the socket to be tightly gripped as the spigot is forced in.

Abstract: 3726. Sturrock, R. F., and Baggesen, G. O. Feb. 13. Geared pulley-hoists; driving-gear for winding and paying-out apparatus.-Comprises a twospeed geared pulley-block. The casing is made in two parts, one of which 1 rotates and is keyed to the driving-spindle 8. The non-rotary part 25 serves to support the block through the medium of a swivel hook 2. The operating chain-wheel 9 is screwed on to the end of the spindle 8, and between its boss and a collar 18 on the shaft 8 is a ratchet disk 21 and leather washer. The boss of the load-wheel 5 is elongated on one side and carries a spurwheel 11, with which gears planet-wheels 12 keyed on rotary spindles 13 carried by the rotating casing. Other planet-wheels 15 also on the spindles 13 engage a sun-wheel 7 mounted loosely on a boss extending from the fixed casing. A grooved disk 24 is slidably keyed on the boss of the wheel and is pressed by a spring 27 so that diametral wedge-shaped projections 30 at the ends of the spindles 13 engage the groove in the disk. On the back of the disk are projections 28, which are tapered with the narrow part of the taper at the base, and are adapted to slide into holes in the fixed casing when the disk is moved to the left. Upon operating the wheel 9 to hoist, the wheel. ratchet, and collar are jammed together, and a pawl (not shown) prevents running back of the load. If the load is light, the casing and wheels all rotate as one. If the load is heavy, the wedge-shaped ends of the spindles force the disk 24 to the left so that the pins 28 engage holes in the casing, thus locking the disk and conseqnently the wheel 7. The gear then operates as an epicyclic reducing-gear.
