Abstract: 9020. Draper, A. D., and Wartnaby, W. T. W. April 11. [Cognate Application, 21,698/11.) Force-feed lubricators.-The engines of motorbicycles &c. are lubricated by a pump enclosed in the crank-casing, driven from the same source as the magneto. Gear-wheels d, which drive the magneto e, Fig. 1, also by means of worm gearing r, s actuate the pump c, consisting of a pair of gear-wheels m enclosed in a case n. The pump is constructed as an independent unit, readily removable from the crank-case. Oil from the well b of the crank-casing a is sucked in through an opening o, and is forced through pipes p, f, 3, 5 to the crank-shaft bearings, and through the crank or fly-wheel to the crank-pin, from which it passes through a pipe or passage j in the connecting-rod k to the gudgeon-pin bearing. The pump is secured to a plate v, which fits and closes an aperture w in an extension a<1> of the crank-case. A spring-loaded relief valve 6, Fig. 2, is provided in the pipe 5, and the overflow from this valve lubricates the timing-gear. A needle valve 7 regulates the distribution of oil between the two crank-shaft bearings g. To the end of the bearing may be fitted an oil-retaining device consisting of a split oil-throwing ring 8, an oilcatcher 9, a felt washer 10, and a screwed enclosing-cap 11; a return oil-hole is drilled below the bearing.

Abstract: 9996. Bauer, C., [Goodall Worsted Co.]. April 25. Combing-machines. - The vertical position of the feed-knife in a circular combing-machine is varied automatically in either direction in accordance with the variations in diameter of the sliver balls. The sliver balls 14, as they are carried round, come into contact with a follower 29, which is pivoted to the frame of the machine, and is normally pressed outwards by a weight-controlled rack-bar 32. The outward movement of the follower 29 and the rack bar 32 as the sliver balls decrease in size is transmitted to the feed-knife 17 through gearing 37, 38, 39 and a link 28, and a lever 25 which is secured to the bridge-piece 22, which supports the feed-knife. If a ball should be of greater diameter than the ball immediately preceding it, then the follower 29 is pressed in by it and there is a consequent lowering of the feed-knife.

Abstract: 25,328. Otto, W. Nov. 14. R÷ntgen - ray apparatus.-A dark - slide or plate-holder for R÷ntgen-ray photographs has pneumatic devices for pressing the intensifying- screen against the plate. In one arrangement compressed air is forced between the cover d<1>, Fig. 4, and the screen b, which is secured to a rubber or like strip a fixed between the cover d<1> and the frame d. A space h provides a passage for the expressed air into the atmosphere. In another arrangement shown in Fig. 6, in which a vacuum is employed the screen b may itself form the cover, and a rubber strip f is used. A network of grooves o, Fig. 7, may be formed on the surface of the back k to give an increased pressure or vacuum space and thus lessen the effect of leakage. In this form, the jointing-strip f is attached to the back k only at its inner edge, the external excess of air pressure ensuring a tight joint. With compressed air, the strip f is attached at its outer edge.

Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 4282. Akt. - Ges. vorm. Seidel & Naumann. March 15, 1911, [Convention date]. Transfer mechanism. - The lower numeral disk of a Thomas multiplying or like machine is arranged to trip the transfer tooth for spring movement into operative position. The subsequent rotation of the transfer tooth and its resetting to normal position are derived from the main operating-handle movement. The transfer tooth 8 of the numeral disk e rocks a lever 1, 2 about a shaft 10 against the action of a spring 7, and thereby frees a flange 4 upon the segment carrying the transfer tooth 9, which is forthwith moved axially along the shaft d of the stepped barrel corresponding to the next higher numeral disk, by the agency of a spring 6. In this position the transfer tooth, when rotated owing to the feathered mounting of the segment upon the shaft of the stepped barrel, will effect the one-tooth advance of the next higher numeral disk, and immediately this has occurred a face-cam 3 upon the segment will press against a fixed pin 5 so as to restore the segment against the pressure of the spring 6 and thus allow the parts to be relatched by the arm 2 of the transfer-lever.
