Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 19,802. Kanzler Schreibmaschinen Akt.-Ges. Sept. 3, 1909, [Convention date]. Ink-ribbon mechanism.-A lost-motion device interposed between the key - levers and the ribbon-vibrator 3, Fig. 1, for multicolour adjustment, or to render the vibrator inoperative, consists of a universal bar 9 having a pin- and-slot connexion 11, 12 with one arm 13, Fig. 3, of a bellcrank lever, the other arm of which is slotted to receive a pin 16 adjusted by a key-set arm 20 so that the universal bar drops until the pin 16 abuts against one of three faces 22, 23, 24 on a striker 21 connected to the vibrator.. According as the pin 16 abuts against the face 22, 23, or 24 respectively, the full stroke or half stroke of the key-levers is operative to rock the universal bar and lift the vibrator, or the universal bar is not operated, and the ribbon remains in its lowest position. Noses 41, 42 on the striker 21 coact with the hinge-pin 18 of the bar 20 to limit the stroke of the striker. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a modification in which the universal bar is spring restored, so that the full stroke of the key-levers is always communicated to the universal bar. In this case, according to the setting of the striker-pin, the full or half stroke of the universal bar is operative to swing the striker, or the universal bar swings without displacing the striker. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted. Key-locks.-The keys 27, 28, 29, which control the arm 20, are locked in the depressed position by a spring flange 38, Fig. 10, the depression of any of the keys releasing the key previously depressed.

Abstract: 15,492. Soc. Rocca Tassy et do Roux. Aug. 22, 1910, [Convention date]. Planing; shaping by cutting; tools. - Relates to a machine for removing the damaged internal surface of wooden casks after they have contained substances that penetrate into the wood. The cask 1 is supported by toothed wheels 26 connected by an endless chain 24 on a carriage 2 which is reciprocated on rails 3 by a connecting-rod 4 operated by a crank-shaft 5. The cutting-tool 8 is mounted on a pivoted counte-balanced bar 6 and is driven from a motor 13 through an intermediate shaft 12. As the carriage reciprocates, the cask is cut in a direction parallel to its axis, the depth of cut being limited by stops B bolted to the lower ends of. the cutter bearings A with packing-pieces interposed for adjustment purposes. The wheels 26 are operated so as to bring a fresh portion of the cask surface into the line of action of the cutting-tool by the engagement by a lever 15', loosely mounted on a fixed abutment y, with a pawl lever 16 actuating a ratchet-wheel 19 on shaft 20, which is connected through bevel-gearing 22, 23 to the shaft of one of the wheels 26.

Abstract: 20,471. Hildebrand, F. Sept. 15. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Vapour-engines.-In power plants of the kind in which the vapour of a liquefied gas is used as the motive fluid, the exhaust from the engine cylinder or turbine casing is re-liquefied by the performance of internal work. The invention is illustrated diagrammatically in connexion with a carbonic-acid engine f. If the expansion which takes place on passing through the exhaust valve g is insufficient to re-liquefy the gas, it is afterwards passed through one or more expansion nozzles m.

Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 23,514. Soc. Anon. Westinghouse. June 28, [Convention date]. Fluid-pressure.-The double check valves employed in combined automatic and straight systems of fluid-pressure brakes are constructed and arranged so as to render modification of the standard type of triple valve unnecessary, and so as to avoid the necessity of providing branch connexions between the triple valve, brake cylinder, and double check valve. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the double check valve 7 is arranged in a casing 1, which is connected to the triple valve by bolts 2, and to the straightair and automatic pipes respectively at 5 and 3. The air which passes from the auxiliary reservoir in automatic applications enters by a passage 6, and the brake cylinder is in communication with an annular chamber 13 having ports 12. The valve 7 moves against one or other of its seats 8, 9 according as a straight-air or an automatic application is being effected. An additional valve 15 is provided for opening the passage 6 to an atmospheric port 16 during straight applications, so as to render an automatic application impossible under such circumstances. In a modification, the casing 1 is formed integral with the brake cylinder, and the valve 15 is dispensed with.

Hygrometric apparatus.-Relates to ovens in which the contained material, which is dried by hot air, can be weighed by a balance placed above the oven in order to estimate the quantity of moisture in it. In the present arrangement the various materials to be tested are placed in cans 6, which are mounted in depressions 7 in a turntable 5, so that any given can may readily be brought beneath the balance. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the spindle 4 of the turntable engages at its upper end with a short central spindle 12 on which bears the lower end of a lever 11 pivoted at 10, so that by turning this lever downwards the turntable is lifted for rotation. The air enters through the base 2. In a modification, the turntable is mounted on ball bearings near its periphery and has at its centre an annular ring dipping into a mercury trough to prevent air leakage. In the Provisional Specification it is also stated that the turntable may be mounted on wheels which fall into cavities when the holders are in position beneath the balance.

Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 26,415. Johnson, J. Y., [Enterprise Manufacturing Co.]. Nov. 25. Casting-machines ; mould weights ; flasks. - A moving mould-casting machine of the endless chaintype has means for automatically applying weights to, and removing them from, the moulds. The moulds are carried by an horizontal conveyer 9, Fig. 4<a>, and supported by a vertical conveyer 2. A chain of weights 26 runs on rails 31. The front axles of the weights carry double wheels to engage auxiliary rails 32, Fig. 7, so that the weights settle in a parallel manner on to the moulds. The chain of weights and the two conveyers move simultaneously but the pitch of the driving-wheel for the weights is a little greater than that of the wheels for the conveyers, and the weights are connected by triple links to allow the weights to settle freely on the moulds and the links to drop a little as shown at y. The conveyer 9 consists of ring-like elements flexibly connected at one side to enable them to pass round the curves at the end and provided with horizontal and vertical guide-rollers. The elements receive fitting strips or plates to adapt them to the flasks in use, and after the elements of the supporting- conveyer leave them, the moulds drop and rest by lugs on the ring-like elements. The flasks are provided with bottom boards connected by chains, and at this point the boards fall away from the moulds. In the event of overpouring or other cause resulting in a casting adhering to one of the weights, the casting strikes an arm near the return loop of the weight chain and opens a knife switch arranged in the power circuit.
