Title: Improvements in Electric Arc Lamps.
IPC: H05B31/00
Filed: 1913-04-09
Granted: 1914-02-05
Abstract: 8301. Engineering and Arc Lamps, and Dowdell, A. T. April 9. [Addition to 16,678/11.] Arc lamps.-In the mechanism for inclinedcarbon lamps described in the parent Specification, the heavy rocking bar D, shown in plan, is now engaged directly on opposite sides of its pivot by the escapement pawls C, C', which enter notches in the bar or are otherwise guided. The pawls may be T - shaped, their lower ends having short vertical slots through which pivots pass. The teeth of the escapement-wheel A can then lift the pawls when the wheel is turned backwards during trimming, no ratchet or clutch connexion between the wheel and cord drums being required. The pawls may engage different parts of a divided escapement - wheel. A rack may replace the escapement-wheel. A brake F acts on a curved surface I at one end of the rocking bar D to control the feed. The brake and curved surface may be roughened, and a notch may be made in the latter to give a positive arrest of the bar. Adjustment of the position of the rocking bar is effected by means of an eccentric G carrying the pivot of the bar. The time of oscillation of the bar D may be varied by weighting it.

Abstract: 18,221. Grantham, W. A., Grantham, A. W., Grantham, H. F., and Pochin, B. Aug. 11. Wheel-guards.-Each wheel of a motor vehicle is covered by a fixed hood b within which is a movable hood q normally sustained by a latch o. When a feeler j strikes an obstruction, it bends inwards, and a projection n upon it releases the latch o, which is then pressed by a spring q<1> against the wheel so as to cause a rapid descent of the inner hood q. At the front lower end of the inner hood is pivoted a folding carrier v, s. which, when the hood descends, opens out as shown in Fig. 2 and receives the obstruction. A roller w<1> on the front of the carrier rotates in a direction opposite to that of the wheel. The feeler is in two parts jointed together at m.

Granted: 1914-07-30
Abstract: 24,775. Pilling, J., and Howard & Bullough. Oct. 31. Carding - engines. - In an arrangement for driving the doffer at a slow speed during piecing, of the type in which the two speeds are obtained by moving belts over fast and loose pulleys, means are provided for obtaining an automatic return from the slow to the fast speed after a predetermined number of revolutions, and for allowing freedom of hand operation. The control shaft A has mounted upon it a cam C working in conjunction with a stationary cam D. The shaft A also carries a worm-wheel E, which, when the shaft A is turned, is moved into engagement with a worm F on the doffer shaft, and by its rotation returns the shaft A to its original position. The contours of the cams C, D allow the shaft A to be returned to its original position by hand at any time. Specification 19,355/97 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Printing, Developing and Fixing of Prints or Films.
Inventor: BARON AUGUSTE BLAISE
Filed: 1913-11-10
Granted: 1914-11-10
Abstract: 25,703. Baron, A. B., and Guinard, C. M. A. Nov. 11, 1912, [Convention date]. Printing - apparatus with continuous movement of negative and printed surface; combined with developing and finishing apparatus; developing &c. apparatus for successive treatments of long films and bands.-Relates to a machine for printing, developing, and finishing positive prints upon gelatine bromide paper or films of indefinite length produced from film negatives of any length. The casing of the machine is divided into two compartments, one of which contains the rolls d, d<1>, Fig. 5, for the positive and negative films respectively, which are fed past the printing-aperture g, the other compartment containing developing and other tanks having rollers for guiding the printed film through them. Outside the casing, a roller m for absorbing moisture from the films, another electrically heated drying-roller m<1>, and a takeup spool n are mounted. The mechanism for feeding the films across the printing-aperture consists of a series of pincers i, Fig. 6, each made of two metal strips normally separated, and mounted on an endless band z. The pincers cover the edges of the film in passing a wide portion h<1> of the slideway through which they pass, grip the films together in passing the narrow portion h, and are freed from the films in passing along the wider portion h<2>. The printing-opening is adjusted by the slide x. The negative film is spooled on the spool e<1>. In the case of kinematograph films, the roller f' over which the films pass is a sprocket roller. The feed-band z, the roller m, and the take-up spools n, c' are all driven from one crank s. The machine can be used for developing negative films by closing the printing-slot g. When so used, the time taken is longer, and a slower movement of the film is necessary. For this purpose, two intermediate gear-wheels t, t<1> are removed, and the crank s, handle, and gearwheel s<1> are fixed on an adjacent shaft so that the wheel s<1> directly gears with a wheel u, from which the other parts of the mechanism are driven.

Title: An Improved Method of and Means for Range-finding from Aerial Craft.
Inventor: COANDA HENRI
Filed: 1913-12-01
Granted: 1914-12-17
Abstract: 27,584. Coanda, H., and Hardcastle, J. H. Dec. 1. [Cognate Application, 8211/14.] Angle - measuring instruments. - In a sighting- device for obtaining the correct instant to throw a bomb from an aircraft, the final sighting-angle is determined by the individual settings of the time of passage through a fixed sighting-angle, the height of the aerial craft, and the 'lag,' the lag being the distance separating the point where the bomb would strike the earth if it fell through a vacuum from where it strikes after falling through air.. The theory governing the various settings and scales therefor is discussed in the Specification. The slide 21 carries a height scale 22 and is adjustable along a time scale 33 by a screw 32. A block 25 carrying a double pointer 24, 27 is movable in a guide 23 carrying a second height scale 26, which is graduated according to a prepared table for the aircraft, and is one of the scales to allow for the lag. The guide 23 is itself adjustable along the slide 21 by the right and left handed screw 29, which also controls the movement of a block 30 and a pivoted sleeve 34. A rod 35 extending through the sleeve is pivoted at 36 and transmits angular movement to a rod 37 carrying a backsight 38 and a foresight 39. These sights overhang cross-wires X<1>, X<2>, Z of a swinging rod 48 carrying an eyepiece 42. The backsight 38 is pivoted at 43 and is adjustable over a scale 44, which is graduated according to a second table calculated for the aircraft. The two scales 44, 26 constitute the setting-scales for the lag. In use, the height of the aircraft is observed, the pointer 27 adjusted over the scale 26, and the pointer 24 then adjusted over the scale 22 by the screw 29. The sight 38 is adjusted over the scale 44. An observation is then made through the eyepiece 42 of the time occupied by a stationary object on the ground in passing from X<1> to X<2> along the line Z, and the bar 21 correspondingly adjusted along the scale 33. The inclination of the rod 37 is therefore automatically adjusted on rotating the shafts 29, 32. The missile is released when the target aimed at has passed along the line Z to a point in line with the two arms 38, 39. In lieu of separate lag scales, falsified height and time scales may be used, having the calculated adjustment for lag of a missile of known terminal velocity permanently included thereon.

Abstract: 28,157. Richards, G. L. Dec. 6. Sale apparatus; coin action, multiple-coin; returning coin. - In vending - machines of the type in which a number of coins must be inserted, a balanced coin pan is adapted to tilt in one direction under the weight of the correct number of coins, and to be tilted in the reverse direction by a hand-operated push-piece when an insufficiency of coins has been inserted, in order to discharge them into a return shoot. The coin pan 6 is pivoted in arms 7, which swing from fixed pivots 8, and is normally retained in the position shown by means of an adjustable counterweight 9 so as to close the bottom of a fixed coin-receptacle 4. The coins pass from a shoot 1 on to the pan 6, and, when the correct amount has been inserted, the pan turns about the axis 6<a> and discharges the coins on to an escapement or other device 11. If, however, insufficient coins have been inserted to overcome the counterweight 9, the pan can be moved up a cross-bar 18 into the position shown in dotted lines, so as to discharge the coins into a return shoot 19, by pressing in a push-piece 16. A forked rod 13 connects the pivot 6<a> of the coin pan with a spring-controlled lever 15 operated by the push-piece. A slot in the pan engages a guide-finger 21.
