Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 12,216. Printing Machinery Co., and Harris, J. J. B. May 23. [Cognate Application, 13,405/12.] Stereotype. - Relates to the casting of stereotype in vertical moulds, and consists of means for preventing creeping and buckling of the matrix under the impact of the falling metal. The top bolster 10 of the matrix 1 is formed with a further depression 6 by a part of the chase which stands up above the level of the type. The depressed part of the matrix rests in a recess 14 in the concave part 13 of the mould, while the shoulder 4 is held down on a ledge 15 by the usual guard 16. which, being in vertical alinement with the bolster 10, prevents the impact of the metal on the matrix. To prevent the impact of the hot metal from buckling the guard 16 or causing the matrix to creep, a second guard 17 may be placed in the mould and removed as soon as the pouring is finished.

Granted: 1912-10-31
Abstract: 13,104. Stodder, F. W. June 4. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrangement and construction of.-An aerial machine is provided with two curved triangular main planes 28, a box-shaped front elevator 61, and a rear elevator 51, all of which are automatically controlled by a swinging car 33, a double rudder 66, a triangular plane 87 placed at the rear of the inclined propeller 85 so as to be affected by the wash therefrom, and a motor 75 slung from the frame bars 24, to which the car supports are universally connected. The main planes are made of metal and have undeformable front and side edges 29, 31 pivotally connected together by a bolt 92<1>; the remainder of the plane, including the rear edge, is flexible, and the planes are pivoted to the framework by vertical bolts 30. The front elevator comprises two curved triangular lower planes 56 with strengthened front edges, and two tapering upper planes 61 bolted together at 62 and the lower planes 56, as shown in Fig. 1. Steering and balancing. - The main planes 28 are pivoted to the frame of the machine by vertical bolts 30 and are supported on horizontal frames composed of bars 13 and slotted bars 18 bolted together at 15. Pins 44 on the rigid edges 31 of the planes 28 work in the slots 17 and are connected to the car 33 through rods 43, 42 universally connected together. The rods 42 have inner threaded ends which are screwed into a turnbuckle 39<1>, Fig. 10. The turnbuckle has spherical ends which fit into two-part sockets 37 clamped to the rear supports 35 of the ear. When the turnbuckle is rotated, the rods 42 are moved inwards or outwards, and cause the pins 44 to move in the oblique slots 17 and thus flex the planes 28 equally. Should the car swing laterally relatively to the machine, the planes 28 are flexed unequally and equilibrium is restored. The front and rear elevators are connected to the car by rods 53, 48<1>, which are ball-jointed to opposite ends of a screw 47. Rotation of the screw causes the elevators to be manually operated. Fore - and - aft balance is maintained by the swinging car. The rudders 66 are operated by cords, and the upper triangular plane 87 is operated through a screwed rod 89. Propelling is effected by an inclined propeller 85 driven through bevel-gearing by a motor 75 slung from the framing 24. Cars; framework.-The car is supported by front and rear supports 34, 35 universally connected to frame members 24 which support the motor. The planes 28 are supported by horizontal frames 13, 18, and are pivoted to diagonal rods 9. The main framing comprises longitudinal rods 1, 2. The propeller 85 and plane 87 are carried by an upright 21 terminating in a head 83.

Abstract: 14,339. Fuchs, L. F. June 19. Gyroscopic apparatus is described which it is stated will maintain a pointer directed to any destination to which it may be set while the ship or the like carrying the apparatus moves in any direction. The apparatus comprises a motor 1 mounted with its axis of rotation below its axis of suspension in a ring 3 which is supported at two diametrically opposite points 22, the line joining which points is at an acute angle, preferably forty-five degrees to the axis of rotation of the gyroscope, in a frame 4 which is free to rotate about a vertical axis and carries a compass card 43. The gyroscope is held always perpendicular to the earth's surface by screws 49 carried by the frame 4 and is axially adjustable in the bearings 14 for the purpose of centering it. The apparatus is contained in a casing 50 gimbal-mounted on a pneumatic support. The required course is set off on the card 43 by determining the azimuth and setting the pointer 45 to the destination. and the ship is then steered by bringing the lubber point into register with the pointer 45.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Cleansing or Revivifying Artificial Zeolites and other Compounds used for Softening Water and for other like Chemical Treatments.
Inventor: WEBB FREDERICK RICHARD
IPC: B01D37/04
Filed: 1912-11-28
Granted: 1913-11-27
Abstract: 27,415. Webb, F. R. Nov. 28. Actuating; locking.-A revivifying salt solution is discharged from a zeolite bed e<1> through a pipe g, pivoted pipe b, and a chamber a provided with a float valve a' to maintain a constant head of liquid over a discharge nipple a<2> and thus secure a uniform flow. When the level of the salt solution has fallen to that of the top of the bed, discharge through the pipe b ceases, and the chamber a begins to empty and is lifted to the position shown in dotted lines by a spring or counterweight c at the other end of the pipe b. A valve h connected to the pipe b is opened, and fresh water is supplied through the pipe h<1> to the chamber e. When the liquid level in the chamber e has risen sufficiently, discharge to the chamber a begins again, the counterweight is overbalanced, and the valve h is closed. The rinsing-water is passed slowly away from the chamber e through the chamber a in the same manner as was the salt solution. When the level in the chamber e falls, fresh water is again admitted through the valve h. A second fall of the chamber a from the position shown by dotted lines is prevented by a pawl arrangement working in connexion with a ratchet-wheel on the pivot of the tube b, and the wash water is this time allowed to flow away freely through the pipe g.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Transmitting Movements or Positions of Indices by Means of Multiphase-wound Bodies.
Inventor: BECKMANN ERICH
IPC: H02K24/00
Filed: 1913-01-02
Granted: 1913-07-03
Abstract: 130. Beckmann, E. Jan. 2. Order apparatus.-Relates to apparatus in which at a receiving-station a magnetic pointer adjusts itself in the field of a multiphase-wound ring. When a U-shaped ring is used, there is ambiguity as to positions 180 degrees apart, to remove which a polarizing-winding is added. Fig. 4 shows a transmitting-station G and a receiving-station E. An order is given by adjusting the position of the alternating-current magnet F, the field thus induced in the ring a<1> being reproduced in the receiver ring a and positioning the receiving-pointer. Fig. 1 shows the receiving-instrument, the U-shaped ring a having windings e arranged 120 degrees apart. With this arrangement, the field maxima are at r and n and l and m and there is ambiguity as to the adjustment. An additional polarizing- coil b is however added, the effect being to strengthen the field at say r and n, and reduce it at l and m. The coil b may be arranged inside or outside the winding e, and the coil may be dispensed with by having two sets of windings displaced 180 degrees on the arms of the U-shaped ring or by having the windings on one arm of the ring only. Fig. 7 shows systems of connexions for transmitting apparatus A, D and receiving apparatus B, C, E, in which, in some cases the multiphase-wound bodies'may be connected to the supply mains, and the polarizing-coils P may be connected in series with the windings c.
