Granted: 1912-10-17
Abstract: 23,326. Jirotka, B., and Schebeck, W. Oct. 23. Stream-cutting machines. - A machine for moulding or dividing butter comprises a press 2 formed with a mouthpiece 1 in front of which is arranged a cross-shaped member 5 formed with moulds 4 behind which are arranged cutting-wires 3.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Actuating and Locking Points or Switches on Railways.
IPC: B61L5/06
Filed: 1911-02-04
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 25,343. O'Donnell, J. P., and British Pneumatic Railway Signal Co. Feb. 4. Operating and transmitting mechanism applicable generally; locking-bars, arrangements and connexion of; locking-bolts.-Relates to railway point or switch operating and locking apparatus of the kind having a worm-wheel, operated by a reversible electric motor, which carries a pin or roller adapted to work in an elongated slot in a crank operatively connected to the points, and consists in attaching a second pin or roller to the worm-wheel for cooperating with a transverse slot in a slide connected to the point-locking plunger and in providing the worm-wheel with only sufficient teeth for the necessary movement, so that the worm will, at the end of the movement, abut against the plain or untoothed portion of its periphery and prevent overrunning; means are also provided for varying the amount of movement given to the points. Fig. 2 shows a plan of the operating-gear which connects the motor shaft 142 through the friction clutch 144, worm 167, and worm-wheel 150 to the locking-slide 157 and point-operating crank 160. The casing containing the operating-gear is secured upon the sleepers or other portion of the permanent way. Projecting from the face of the wormwheel is a spindle 153 carrying two rollers 154, 155, which engage the slots in the slide 157 and crank 160 respectively. The slots 156, 159 are so formed and arranged that the points are unlocked before the crank is operated and are re-locked after the crank has completed its movement. The crank 160 is secured to a spindle 161 rotatably mounted in the casing. The outer end of the spindle is formed with an enlarged head 163 having a recess in which a rectangular or other shaped arm 164 is secured by a nut 166 on its threaded extension 165. This construction permits the arm 164 to be adjusted as desired so as to vary the throw of the point tongues.

Title: Improvements in Wireless Telegraph Receivers.
Inventor: MARCONI GUGLIELMO
IPC: H03D1/10
Filed: 1912-01-01
Granted: 1913-01-01
Abstract: 86. Marconi, G., and Franklin, C. S. Jan. 1. Wireless telegraphy. -In a wireless telegraph receiving-system, a series-wound dynamo D is connected in circuit with a detector d, such as a Fleming valve or carborundum, and a battery B. A second similar dynamo D<1> and the receiving telephone T may be connected in the secondary circuit of a transformer t. When run at a sufficiently high speed, the circuit becomes unstable, and the dynamo produces an increase of current limited only by the saturation current of the detector. As the current does not decrease when the received waves cease, a relay is arranged in the indicator circuit so as to interrupt the dynamo and detector circuit as soon as the current in the latter reaches a value sufficient to work the indicator.
Patent GB-191200295-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Spinning, Doubling, Twisting and like Machines, used in the Production of Yarns or Threads of Fibrous Substances.
Inventor: STELL ALFRED
IPC: D01H9/04
Filed: 1912-01-04
Granted: 1913-01-06
Abstract: 295. Stell, A., and Stell, J. Jan. 4. [Cognate Application, 15,261/12.] Doffing - arrangements ; lifting - rails ; spindle apparatus; thread - holding and threadcovering arrangements.-The bobbins of spinning, doubling, and twisting machines, wherein the spindles and flyers are supported and driven at their upper extremities, are carried on detachable disks 4. so that, when the lifter rails are lowered for doffing, such disks and the full bobbins are received upon spindles on a pivoted or sliding base 8, which is then operated to move the full bobbins to the front of the machine and to dispose similar disks carrying empty bobbins so that, as the lifter rail is raised, it carries the disks and empty bobbins into position upon the spinning-spindles. The disks carry toothed wheels 11 engaged by a rack 12, which, during spinning, is stationary, but during the subsequent operations is operated so as to unwind a length of yarn from the full bobbins while they are being lowered, and to cut the yam by a rotary knife 10 when the machine is restarted. The rack 12 is operated during the descent cf the rail by means of a pinion 14 and projection 14<a> and a stationary rack 16, Fig. 9. During the ascent, the projection 14<a> is inoperative, so that the movement of the rack is incomplete ; the completion of the movement serves to operate the knives and is effected by the movement of the stop-rod when the machine is restarted. When the stop-rod is operated a shaft 21 is moved and a lever 20 thereon pivots a lever 23, which, through an arrangement of levers designed to move a lever 24 horizontally, operates a stop 26 mounted on a rod 18, which actuates levers 17 to carry the yarns against stops 19 in readiness for severing. When the bowl of the lever 20 reaches the top of an incline carried by the lever 23, no further motion is imputed to the lever 23, and the remaining motion of the lever 20 is communicated by a rod 27, through an arrangement of levers similar to that connected with the lever 23, to the rack 12 so as to complete its movement and to cut the threads by means of knives 10. The rack is made in hinged sections at its ends so that it may be deflected at the end of the lifter rail and so avoid the framing. The base-pieces 8 are operated to move the full and empty bobbins by gears 29, which are so arranged as to move alternate bases successively, as space prevents them from being operated at one time. In order to keep the machine at a normal or usual height, the lifting- racks 31 are telescopically arranged in tubes 32 so that during the latter part of the hft they engage the tubes by means of stops 31<a>. In Provisional Specification 295/12 it is stated that the flyers may be rotated to wind a few turns of yarn on the empty bobbins when the machine is restarted, and that the severing-mechanism may comprise furrowed or grooved bars, one of which carries a knife.

[Cognate Application, 21,502/12.] Carding-engines; feeding carding-engines. - In order to equalize the fibres over the width of the cylinder, a to-and-fro movement of two or more throws per revolution is imparted to the worker rollers or to the feed-rollers which present the lap to the licker-in. The worker rollers B, Fig. 1, are provided with cams E engaging bowls e' on brackets attached to the frame. The cams are driven by the usual chain and sprocket wheel e, the chain being made sufficiently wide to allow of the reciprocating movement, or by a rope or band. The cams are arranged to move alternate rollers in opposite directions. The sprocket-wheels may be loose upon the shaft, and drive the cam and roller through pins which slide through holes in the sprocketwheel and bear against antifriction pulleys therein; or the sprocket-wheel may be splined to the shaft and held against longitudinal movement. The shaft d', Fig. 7, of the feed-roller D is mounted to slide through the driving-wheel d, and has mounted on its other end a worm F engaging a worm-wheel g which operates a lever G embracing a groove in a collar g' on the shaft.

Title: Improvements in Ball Bearings for Shafting.
IPC: F16C23/08
Filed: 1912-12-24
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 29,697. Deutsche Kugellager Fabrik Ges. Jan. 6, [Convention date]. Ball bearings.-To prevent the distortion of a ball-bearing race ring by the adjusting-screws, the ring is supported by end caps. The caps d are held by bolts o against the sides of the outer race ring b, and have flanges e which enter and support the ring. The adjusting-screws l bear on spherical surfaces on blocks h, fitting into notches g in lugs f on the caps, but axially displaceable therein. If this axial displacement is to be prevented, ears are formed on the blocks h to bear against the sides of the lugs f. The race ring b is thus supported independently of the blocks h and the adjusting-screws l. The arrangement may be modified by making the ring b take the pressure of the blocks h, this pressure being counteracted by the flanges e.
