Inventor: MANQUAIS FREDERICK VALENTINE L
IPC: B60G13/04
Filed: 1913-02-18
Granted: 1914-02-18
Abstract: 4120. Le Manquais, F. V. Feb. 18. Composite springs; vibration - dampers. - Relates to frictional vibration-dampers employed to check the vibration of vehicle suspension springs, and consists in a device comprising wedges which are forced into frictional engagement with suitable guides by a spring - pressed wedgeshaped member. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the vibrations of the suspension spring C are damped by a device comprising a rod connected to the axle-clip B engaging wedge-shaped blocks D sliding in a casing E pivoted to the frame A; the outer surfaces of these blocks are forced into frictional engagement with the walls of the casing E by a pyramidal, or conical block F actuated by a coiled spring G. The frictional resistance varies in this case directly with the compression of the spring G. In a modification, the parts are so arranged that the frictional resistance varies inversely with the compression of the spring G. In another form, the vibrations of a helical spring are damped by placing it around the casing E between suitable flanges, one fixed to the casing and the other to a member telescoping into the casing, and carrying the wedge F. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the device is arranged so as to damp the vibrations of its own spring CG. A form is shown in Fig. 9 in which the wedge frictionblocks D are arranged to surround a central guide E, and are forced into contact with this by an internally-coned collar F urged by a spring G.

Abstract: 10,482. Fauquet, M. Feb. 12, [Convention date]. Core - making.- Cores are moulded in centrifugal machines. Sand is fed at Q to a funnel P delivering to a hollow rotating shaft. The core boxes are formed in disks clamped at f. The sand falls on to and is deflected outwards by a central cone and passes through openings in a ring G to the boxes. A leveroperated ring M guided on the frame serves to release the clamps f and by engagement of the lugs i with recesses in the lower disk to rotate it and the ring G to cut off the sand preparatory to lowering the disk which is provided with a vibrator J. In a modification, the disks are driven from below and are clamped by wedges carried by a ring and rotatable under hook bolts. In a further modification, the apparatus rotates about an horizontal axis but is mounted on trunnions so that removal of the cores may take place as before.

Abstract: 7437. Siemens Bros. & Co., [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. March 24. Cores, covering by winding.-In apparatus for winding lappings, wire, or the like on ring-shaped electric coils or other bodies of similar shape, means is provided for positively winding up the slack which would otherwise be formed during the revolution of the winder when the winder is eccentrically disposed in regard to the body to be covered. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 3 and 4, in which a driven winding-ring 4 is of channel section and is fitted with a storage ring 2 having the material 5 wound upon it in such a direction that the ring 2 during unwinding moves relatively to the ring 4 in the direction of the winding movement about the annular body 1, slackening of the material 5 is prevented by means of a spring 10 which connects the slipping member of a brake 11 to the shaft 9<Î> of a pinion 9 driven by the ring 2 and tends to move the ring backwards. The modified form shown in Fig. 5 is adapted for use when the winding material is coiled on the ring 2 in such a direction that the ring 2 moves relatively counter to the winding-ring 4 when the apparatus is at work. A recess 20 in the ring 4 accommodates a trough-shaped brake-piece 13 partly enclosing the ring 2. A spring 16, attached to the ring 4 and to a pin 15 on the piece 13, moves this piece and the ring 2 in the direction of the arrow A when the tension on the winding material slackens, and thus winds back the material on the ring. The winding material 5 passes in known manner over a roller or guide 3 disposed so that the material acquires a bend or set which tends to make it lie flat against the body 1 during winding.
