Title: Improvements in or relating to Lubricating Devices.
Inventor: FILS ALBERT LEFEBVRE
Filed: 1910-03-04
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 5504. Lefebvre, A. March 5, 1909, [Convention date]. Multiple - delivery piston pumps ; valves, arrangement of; indicators.-In a system for lubricating the engines of motor-vehicles &c. by a continuous circulation of oil, means are provided for replenishing the system with fresh oil automatically. The oil that collects in the lower part of the crank casing is withdrawn by a pump and forced through a pipe 5, Fig. 2, to the lower part of a cylinder 6, from which it is drawn and redistributed by one or more forcepumps 8. The cylinder 6 is enclosed in a reservoir 13 containing fresh oil, which passes through a pipe 12 to a closed space above a piston 7. When the pressure in the pipe 5 falls owing to a deficiency of oil in the circulating system, the piston 7 moves downwards, closing a port 17 and opening a port 18, so that the pump 8 draws a supply of fresh oil from the cylinder 6 until the piston 7 again rises. Figs. 3 and 4 show a modification in which the cylinder 6 is open at the top and does not . contain oil above the piston 7. The oil below the piston normally passes to a chamber 31 and presses a slide valve 19 against a spring 23, being drawn from the chamber 31 by the distributing-pump 8. When the pressure falls, the weighted piston 7 descends, closing the chamber 31, and the valve 19 uncovers a port 21, Fig. 4, admitting a supply of fresh oil. A slide valve 25, operated by a cam 27 and a spring 26, is so arranged that communication between the chamber 31 and the pumps 8 is interrupted at the end of the delivery strokes and the commencement of the suction strokes, in order to prevent the pressure in the chamber from acting upon the suction valves of the pumps. A pressure indicator, consisting of a piston 32 ending in a vane 34 which moves in a glass tube 35, is applied to the chamber 31 and indicates when lubrication is proceeding with fresh oil. The delivery conduits of the pumps may be provided with similar indicators 36. The apparatus can be used to maintain a constant level of oil in a crank chamber in which lubrication is effected by splashing.

Abstract: 25,746. Stanley, G. H. Nov. 5. [Cognate Application, 25,747/10.] Washing - apparatus with screens. - In a method of classifying crushed ores and the like, the material is first subjected to hydraulic classification to cause the heavy or large material to settle, the rate of settlement being so adjusted that little or none of the light or small material is allowed to settle, and the remaining material is passed through a reciprocating screen so disposed that the overside material falls directly from it by gravity. In the apparatus shown, pulp is admitted at a to a classifier c containing a hollow partition b and provided with a screen f which is vibrated by cams g. Heavy or large particles fall through a slot j, below which water is preferably admitted at e, while the remaining particles are carried up to the screen f through which the small particles pass. The decreased speed of the current towards the top of the screen facilitates the fall of the heavy and large particles. Any excess of water and floating particles passes to an overflow l. In other forms a conical vessel may be surmounted by one or more reciprocating vertical screens, or a substantially vertical screen may be placed in the discharge side of a spitzkast. In a classifier giving more than two products each product beyond the largest may be passed through a screen arranged as above.

Granted: 1912-01-04
Abstract: 4618. Kesselring, F. Feb. 23. Systems depending on the use of static transformers.- In auto-transformer systems of distribution in which a number of consumer circuits are supplied in parallel from one transformer, each consumer circuit is connected at one end to a tapping point on the transformer, and at the other end is provided with a switch which makes connexion to a terminal of the transformer and also to one of the primary feeders, which is not otherwise connected to the transformer. The arrangement is described with single-phase auto-transformers with tapping points either between or outside the transformer terminals, with different tapping points for different circuits in the same transformer, with transformers on a three-wire system, and with threephase transformers. Simple lever switches, rotary switches, or plug switches are shown for making the connexions, and a combination of a single lever switch and a double lever switch in series is also shown. As shown in Fig. 1, the single lever switches S1, S2 and the rotary switch S3 are preferably arranged to make connexion with the terminal B2 of the auto-transformer T before closing the connexion between the terminal B2 and the primary feeder L2, with the reverse action on opening circuit, so that each of the consumer circuits M1, M2, or M3, which at their other ends are connected to the tapping point A, will provide a discharge path for the transformer windings. The remaining transformer terminal B1 is permanently connected to the other primary feeder L1. In every case, the transformer is switched in for the first consumer who may close his switch, and is switched off immediately the last consumer opens his switch. Fig. 4 shows arrangements of plug switches S1, S2. In Fig. 5, a double-throw single-lever switch S is arranged in series with a double - throw double - lever switch G. Fig. 6 shows two transformers fed from a three-wire system Lo, L1, L2, and Fig. 7 a three-phase arrangement with four feeders Lo, L1, L2, L3.

Granted: 1912-05-31
Abstract: 13,105. Fairweather, W., [Thomas, A. L.]. May 31. Sinuous springs.-Consists in forming garment stays or stiffeners of a number of interwoven sinuous wires the transverse portions of which are adapted to take up in torsion the greater portion of the stress due to bending in a plane at right-angles to that of the stiffener. The resilience of each wire is increased by twisting each successive transverse portion thereof in a different direction beyond the elastic limit. In making the stiffener, bobbins 9, 10, 11 carry the wires 1, 2, 3 around a 'figure 8' raceway 7 in turn, passing between two winding-pins 4. A succession of interlocked ' figure 8 ' loops is thus formed, of which the lowermost forces the fabric on to an anvil 14, upon which they are twisted flat. The coils are then gripped by a clamping-device 16, 18 operated by a link 20. while the wire is held by the hammer 15 on the anvil 14. The clamping-device also moves longitudinally and stretches the loops. The tendency to curl due to the twisting at the anvil 14 is removed by a convex anvil 21 and a concave hammer 22, by means of which the twist is carried beyond the elastic limit, and the fabric passes away through rolls 24, 25, the speed of which may be variable. Fig. 4 shows a portion of the finished stiffener which may be regarded as composed of the superposed sinuous wires 1, 3 interwoven and interlocked along the outer extremities by a third sinuous wire 2. The alternate portions 1<b> of the wire 1, for example, are twisted beyond the elastic limit in opposite directions, as indicated bv the arrows, the same being true of the other wires.

Abstract: 17,603. Johnson, J. Y., [Millville Machine Co.]. Aug. 2. Blowing; shearing.-Relates to a modification of the machine for making bottles &c. described in Specification 29,062/04, in which an automatic shearing-device is provided for cutting-off the charge of metal from the gathering iron as it is placed into the mould. A modified device for controlling the compressed-air valves is also described. A pair of shears 5, operated by a pneumatic cylinder 10, are mounted on the lower end of a shaft 8. In placing the charge into the mould 2, the operator depresses a lever 15 by resting the gathering iron on it. This opens the air valve of the cylinder 10, causing the shears 5 to close and cut off the depending gather. The shaft 8 is then rotated automatically through a quarter of a circle so as to move the shears 5 out of the path of the plunger 9, which then descends. The compressed air, entering the cylinders 50, 51 for raising the parison moulds and lowering the plungers respectively, is controlled by a valve 45. This valve is actuated by compressed air, some of which is allowed to enter an auxiliary cylinder 53 of adjustable capacity so as to cause a suitable delay in the action of the valve 45.
