Abstract: 21,110. Waters, H. E., and Cawthorne, J. R. Sept. 16. Stamps, ore and like.-An ore-feeder consists of a hollow open-ended cylinder 1, which is rotated step by step and is preferably slightly inclined to the horizontal. The cylinder is supported in bearing-blocks 9 carried by frames 10, which are connected together by ties 11, and, together with the hopper 5 and shoot 7, is suspended from overhead rails 12 so that the feeder can be adjusted towards or from the mortar-box. A gripping-arm 17, having pivoted cheeks 19 engaging under the head 16 of a T-section ring 15 formed on or attached to the cylinder, is operated by a chain or rope 20 connected to a lever 21 coupled by a link to a bumper-lever 23 actuated by the stamp. The end 18 of the arm 17 engages the outer surface of the ring 15 frictionally. A spigot 6 on the hopper 5 is embraced by an internallyprojecting lip 25 on the upper end 2 of the cylinder. A helical wing 13 may be formed upon the internal surface of the cylinder to assist the feed, and a fixed scraper 14 may be provided at the flared mouth 4 of the cylinder to ensure the removal of the material therefrom.

Title: Means for Applying Electric Power to Assist, or Supplement, Hand Power for Steering, or other purposes.
Inventor: SCOTT WILLIAM HARDING
IPC: G05D1/02
Filed: 1914-01-01
Granted: 1915-01-01
Abstract: 73. Scott, W. H. Jan. 1. Operating and controlling doors and gates electrically.-Hand power is supplemented by electric power fcr steering gear, operating sluice and lock gates, and like purposes, the arrangement comprising a hand shaft connected with angular lost motion to a driven shaft. This lost motion allows electrical connexions to be made for starting the electric motor, which is clutched to the driven shaft when the speed or voltage attains a predetermined value. The hand-wheel is attached to a shaft A, and the shaft B operates the rudder gear. Between the shafts A, B is a loose coupling with spring-pressed contacts C, C<1>, C<2>, the strain of driving being taken by the spring plungers D<1>, D<2>. The contacts C<1>, C<2> are connected with slip rings and brushes through which the circuit for the motor is completed. On turning the hand-wheel, one series of contacts is made successively and the motor H started and the resistances successively cut out. The motor H is clutched to the shaft B by a centrifugal or electrical clutch I which comes into action according to its setting, the result being that the contacts C<1> or C<2> are broken as the shaft B is operated unless the hand-wheel is rotated to follow up. Should the motor become inoperative, or not be powerful enough to take the full load, the hand power takes its place or assists respectively.

Abstract: 4091. Breitenbach, K., and Waldrich, H. A. Feb. 17. Milling - machines.- The journals of rollers are milled in a machine which has a frictional work - gripping device which is positively actuated -to release the work. The work is held on stocks c by straps which are guided on rods d, one set of which is pivoted to the stocks, while the other set slides in holes therein and is operated through screwed connexions with wormwheels f. The wormwheels are rotated from a shaft h, which is driven in one direction to clamp the work through a friction clutch, and in the other direction to release the work positively through a pawl and ratchet. The driving-device consists of ratchet-wheel o on the end of the shaft h, held 'between a disk' p on a shaft q and jaws s<1>, s<2>, a friction pad r being interposed, and bolts t<1>, t<2> to regulate the friction. The jaws carry two pawls v which drive the ratchet-wheel positively on reversal. The sliding head a carries the cutter b and is fed to and from the work. The machine may be worked by hand or power.

Granted: 1915-06-17
Abstract: 15,060. Hooley, T. June 23. Pile tables for sheet feeds; separators; carriers; gripper-mechanism.-Relates to blocking in gold or other metallic leaf, and consists in removing automatically the inter-leave sheets of paper from the book of metallic leaf as required. The book 39, with the binding edge removed and a layer of adhesive applied to retain the leaves in position, is secured on a platform 21 resiliently mounted in a carriage 8, which is reciprocated on guides 7 as usual to convey the book between stationary heated die 1 and a worktable 2. Prior to the forward movement of the carriage 8 an adhesive pad 40, yieldingly mounted on a shaft 43 controlled by a cam surface 47 and linked to arms 49 on a shaft 50 rocked from a cam 56, descends on the forward end of the top interleave sheet, and is then lifted by the rockshaft 50 and cam surface 47 just as the carriage begins to move forward. The further movement of the parts peels off the sheet, which is carried by the pad to a set of grippers 61, 62 mounted on the arms 3, while the exposed metal leaf is conveyed by the carriage below the die. The gripper-arms 61 are loosely mounted on a shaft 63 and pressed by springs, and the arms 62 are fixed on the shaft and actuated by a pinion from a quadrant carrying a bowl 73 adapted to engage a fixed cam 74. The grippers convey the leaf from the pad into position to fall into a receptacle, fingers 75 integral with the grippers 62 ensuring its release, and the pad continues its movement to contact with a roller 59 intermittently rotated in a trough 60 of adhesive.

Patent GB-191421189-A (GB)
Title: A Method of Influencing the Electrical Charge of a Diaphragm for Processes depending on Electro-osmosis.
Filed: 1914-10-19
Granted: 1915-08-19
Abstract: 21,189. Ges. fur Elektro - Osmose. Nov. 6, 1913, [Convention date]. Diaphragms; electric endosmose. - Diaphragms capable of use in the separation or purification of colloids have their potential altered as required, either before or during use, by adsorption of substances or removal of previously adsorbed substances. Electro-osmotic methods may be employed for effecting adsorption or removal. The positive potential of a leather diaphragm may be increased by adsorption of chromium oxide. Organic dyestuffs of positive or negative character may be adsorbed by diaphragms of vegetable, animal, or inorganic origin. A negative diaphragm of viscose may, for instance, be changed towards positive potential by methylene blue. Removal of silicic acid from a clay diaphragm by boiling with caustic soda solution renders the diaphragm indifferent instead of electro-negative. In the treatment of glue solution by electric endosmose between diaphragms, of which the one near the cathode is of viscose, alumina added to the solution is adsorbed by the viscose, with consequent change of potential towards electro-positive. Migration of electro-positive substances towards the cathode is thus hindered. During the process, the solution becomes acid, the alumina is dissolved, and basic substances then migrate towards the cathode.

Abstract: 2417. Bourdin, E. Feb. 21, 1914, [Convention date]. Imitations of textile fabrics; coating webs.- Relates to the production of fabrics formed of parallel threads stuck together by adhesive. Threads B, B<1> from frames A, A<1> pass through vertical combs C, C<1> to vertical combs D, D<1> and between rollers E, e and E<1>, e<1> respectively. One roller of each pair is of metal and one is covered with soft rubber. From the rollers, the two warps B, B<1> pass to an horizontal comb F with teeth slightly inclined, one thread from each warp passing between each pair of teeth. The threads of the two warps are intercalated by being bent over a bar G having a soft or spongy edge. The band of threads then passes round rollers H, L, J, K, N, 0, P to a spool Q. Between the rollers L, J, the latter of which may be water-cooled, the band receives a coating of adhesive which is partly dried by the heated roller K. A' water-cooled spreader M applies a further coating of adhesive to the band, and a hopper R receives the vapours from the solvent. The dried band is cooled by the water-cooled roller N and receives its drawing traction from the roller P, which carries a pinion T geared by a worm S and bevel gears U<1>, U<2> to a friction disk V driven by an adjustable friction roller W.
