Abstract: 17,344. Electric and Ordnance Accessories Co., and Garner, J. R. July 21. Controllers, actuating and retarding mechanism for; checking-devices actuated by the motor current; controllers with overload release.-Controllers of the type consisting of a contact-arm normally held in the 'off' position by a spring and connected by a spring detent to the operating-arm, and controlled or not by a dash-pot or similar device, are provided with an electro-magnet, in series with the starting - resistance and the main circuit, which, in the event of an overload, operates a stop mechanism so as to free the contact arm from its operating-lever. As shown in Fig. 1, the contact arm a, the operating-lever b, and a short arm i, carrying an inclined slot cam i<1> and connected to a dash-pot j, are mounted on the stud c. The arm a is engaged by the lever b through a catch-bolt f controlled by a spring f<1>, and this bolt f carries a roller h mounted in the cam-slot i<1>. Should the operating-arm be moved too rapidly, the roller rides up the inclined slot, withdraws the bolt f, and the arm a is then returned to its 'off' position by its controlling- spring. The overload coil k<1>, when energized, attracts its armature k<2>, and this, guided by its guides o, moves up so as to engage the catch m with the teeth n<1>, and thus stop further movement of the short arm i and its cam-slot; as a result, the roller h rides up and opens the switch as before. An extra contact p<1> may be provided, so that a contact p on the moving armature can de-energize the no-volt coil q. The device may be constructed without a dash-pot, and in this event, the electro-magnet is arranged to free the bolt catch f.

Abstract: 25,281. Willis, P. R. J., [Phillips, F. G.]. Oct. 31. Lubricant conveyed by mechanical means.-A device for lubricating the guides of lifts is operated automatically, when required, by the movement of the lift cage. An oil reservoir 5 mounted on the top of a guide shoe 3 on the lift cage contains three wheels 13 in contact with upper wheels 14, which project into casings 8 on the top of the reservoir 5. The upper wheels 14 apply lubricant to the front and the two sides of the guide 2. Each pair of wheels is mounted in a frame 10, and their axles are connected by a spring 15 which keeps the wheels in contact. An operating cord 22 fixed at one end passes round pulleys 21 on the frames 10, and, when pulled, tilts the three frames on projections 16 in the reservoir 5, bringing the wheels 14 into contact with the guide 2. The wheels are then rotated by the movement of the lift cage, and lubricant is applied to the guide. Each lower wheel 13 has a central groove 30, which deposits a ridge of oil on the upper wheel. The cord 22 is operated by a weight which hangs on a hook in the lift cage when not in use. A spring 26, engaging at its lower end an eye 27, limits the amount of the pull that can be placed on the cord 22.

Abstract: 27,289. Meade, J. Nov. 23. Coating webs. - Apparatus for coating and finishing fabrics &c. with rubber &c. in a succession of layers, each of which is dried before the next one is applied, comprises a number of rollers 1 ... 6 coacting with coating-members 7, and a number of heated cylinders 8 ... 13 and drying-chambers 27, which are assisted by heated air projected against the fabric from pipes 15 joined to a blast-conduit 14. The coated fabric passes over a heated drum 16 to calender rollers 17 and to a starching device 31Î, thence through a chamber 19, where excess of starch is removed, and over rollers 35, 36 to a, curing-chamber 23. In front of each coating-blade 7, a plate 43 is mounted on trunnions and joined to a rod 46, so that, on pulling the rod during the stoppage of the machine, the plates 43 assume the position shown by dotted lines in the Figure, and prevent the coating- material from flowing on to the fabric. To prevent the coating - material from soaking through the fabric and reaching the rollers, the web may be carried round the rollers 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 24, 25, 26, and back to the starting-point before starting the machine, so that, during the coating-operation on the rollers 1, 2, 3, the web rests on this lead of fabric, but leaves it at the roll 3 and passes round the roll 10 to the other coating-devices. In case it is undesirable that the coated surface should contact with the rolls 8 ... 13, the fabric is led round rolls 37, 38 before and after contacting with the rolls 8 ... 13, so that the uncoated surface is in contact therewith. The rolls 37, 38 are covered with a lubricant supplied from hoppers, which are placed above the rolls and are provided with pads of felt &c. in contact with the rolls. Passage - ways 48 are arranged between the vertical runs of the fabric to allow the operator to feed the coating-blades and inspect the fabric.

Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 7640. Zschocke, H. March 27. Filtering.-In a filter provided with filtering- tubes b of metallic cloth which are cleaned periodically by a reverse current of compressed gas, the compressed gas is delivered through rotating tubes provided with nozzles h throughout its length, the gas to be filtered being cut off meanwhile. The filter is preferably divided into cells l, each of which contains one or more tubes, and each cell is adapted to be cut off from the inlet duct d and put into communication with a settling-chamber o automatically during the cleaning. As shown, the isolation of the cell to be cleaned, the control of the compressed gas supply, and the periodic rotation of the cleaning-nozzles, are all effected by the movement of an endless chain f. To this end, tappets r carried by the chain rotate star-wheels and thereby open flaps or dampers m, p between the cell and the inlet duct and settling-chamber respectively, the flaps being connected by an endless chain so that one closes as the other opens; catches i on the chain open and close cocks k which control the supply of compressed' gas to the nozzles; and projecting teeth g on the chain engage pinions v on the nozzle spindles. Simultaneous action on all the tubes of each cell is secured by means of endless chains t and connecting-pipes u. More than one pair of tappets rand catches, i may be provided.

Granted: 1912-01-11
Abstract: 16,551. Newton, P. A., [Ingersoll - Rund Co.]. July 18. Actuating; double-beat valves.-A valve for choking the inlet to a compressor is provided on the side nearest the piston with an unbalanced area located so as to be subjected during the closing movement to the suction of the piston and thus tending to neutralize the increasing resistance of the valve opening- means. The choking-valve 9, shown in its open position, is closed by a predetermined pressure on the discharge side of the compressor acting on a plunger 12, integral with the valve, against the increasing tension of an adjustable spring 14. The valve is provided with annular flanges 10, 11 of different areas adapted to close openings 7, 8 respectively. During the closing movement, there is a resultant pressure on the flanges, due solely to the creation of a vacuum in the passage 5 by the compressor piston, which tends to neutralize the increasing tension of the spring.
