Inventor: BIRKBECK HENRY
IPC: B41J1/32
Filed: 1911-03-20
Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 6985. Birkbeck, H., [Hammond Typewriter Co.]. March 20. Ink-ribbon mechanism.-Relates to ribbon or shuttle shield arrangements, particularly for machines of the 'Hammond' class, in which the shield 18 is carried by a frame 19 pivoted in a bracket 20 and engaged by fingers 25 on vibrating arms 16. To permit the elevation of the frame 19 for such purposes as renewing the shield or the ink-ribbon, the frame is adapted to be released from the fingers 25 by being moved laterally, the bracket-sleeve 33 being recessed at 32 to permit this movement. The initial lateral movement carries the frame clear of the fingers 25, and the frame may then be given a further lateral movement and turned up into the position shown in Fig. 3, the frame being held in this position by the engagement of the part 30 with the shoulder 31 of the recess 32. The frame is normally held against lateral movement by a lug 26 formed on a pivoted arm 28, which may be turned back to release the frame. When the frame has been turned down and moved laterally from the position shown in Fig. 3 to the horizontal position, the frame may he restored to normal position by turning inwards the arm 28.

Abstract: 892. Walker, C. Jan. 11. Shafts; shaft-sinking by boring.-When sinking pits and shafts and lining them, as the sinking proceeds, by forming rings of tubbing in the pit and securing each ring to the lower end of the previously-fixed lining which is suspended from a support, additional support is given to the rings of tubbing and other rings by pinning them to the wall of the pit after securing them in position. Some or all of the tubbing segments care formed with bosses or thickened portions f, in each of which is a hole g, preferably inclined ; after securing each ring of tubbing segments in position and, if desired, filling the space behind the tubbing by forcing cement through the holes g, pins are passed into the holes g and driven into holes drilled in the wall of the pit. The holes g are then closed by screw plugs k or the like. The tubbing segments c may be provided with lifting-lugs 18. The crib ring a from which the lining is suspended may have bosses or the like 17 to receive pins, and the perforated bosses may also be formed on the erecting-ring, on which the tubbing segments are assembled, and on the annular foot of the shield 12, which may be secured to the erecting-ring.

Granted: 1913-01-24
Abstract: 1886. Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Co., and Remington, A. A. Jan. 24. Springs, arrangement of; equalizing load on springs. - In a device for minimizing rolling, of the kind in which the spring system at one end of an axle is connected to that at the other end through arms carried by a transverse shaft similar to that described in Specification 16,879/11, the arrangement is such that, under rolling of the vehicle, a part only of the spring system is cut out of action in respect of that axle only. One end of the semi-elliptic spring A, Fig. 1, is connected by a link d to the cee-spring D and by a link f to an arm e<1> carried by a transverse shaft E, and the springs at the other side of the vehicle are similarly connected to a second arm e<1> on the shaft E. Under rolling, the arms e<1> tend to remain stationary and the springs D are thus cut out of action. In a modification, Fig. 2, the end of each spring A is pivoted to a rod g carrying a collar g<1> which bears against a frictionless spring G enclosed in a box to which the spring D is pivoted. In this arrangement, the springs G act under vertical vibrations, but are cut out of action under rolling. In a further modification, Fig. 3, inverted semielliptic springs A<1> pivoted to the vehicle frame are each connected at one end to the axle B, and at the other end by links e<2> to the arms e<1> which are pivoted to the rod g, and the box that encloses the spring G is pivoted to the vehicle frame.

Abstract: 24,898. Rolfe, A. Jan. 31, 1913. Exciting; coils and conductors; homopolar machines; using rotor shafts as conductors.- Consists in exciting the rotor or other part of a dynamo-electric machine by the use of a separate or combined homopolar or other exciter, the voltage of which in the low direction is not limited as -hitherto; the low-voltage windings described in Specifications 14,056/12 and 1222/13 are preferably employed; insulation may be omitted; collecting-rings and moving contacts may be dispensed with; the rotor shaft may be used to convey the exciting current. The exciting voltages may be generated directly upon the rotor windings or upon extensions thereof. According to Fig. 1, the rotor R is magnetized by means of an exciter E arranged upon the rotor shaft S either inside or outside the bearings B. The windings of the rotor R may be split up into a number of parallel parts or turns, and may be joined to the exciter E by means of leads laid on, in, or through the shaft S and wedge-shaped or otherwise. The shaft may form one conducting link between the rotor windings and the exciter, and another connexion may be made by means of a tubular part shrunk on, without insulation, on the shaft S. A second exciter may be placed. at the other end of the rotor R. Figs. 13 and 22 show an example in which the rotor winding comprises bars g connected alternately at one end with the rotor iron and at the other with end-disks h, and the exciting voltages are generated directly on the end-disks h, homopolar fashion, by means of electro-magnets Em, magnetized by windings placed around the poles, yokes, or the shaft. The exciting voltages may be generated upon axial extensions of the bars g, by means of magnets having their poles arranged radially. The end-disks h may be laminated, or may be solid, with parts cut away. The bars and enddisks may be formed integrally and without joints. Excitation of the rotors &c. may be effected by the use of alternating currents.
