Granted: 1914-05-28
Abstract: 17,828. Chambers, R. L. Aug. 5. Sampling liquids.-In apparatus for delivering samples, for example of the effluent from ammonia plant, into a series of receptacles, the whole of the motive power for operating the apparatus is derived from the liquid to be sampled. A constant head of liquid is obtained by leading the liquid into a tank A having an overflow pipe B, and from this tank the liquid passes through a valve E' into a rocking trough F pivoted at F' and provided with a counterweight F<2>. When the predetermined weight of liquid is received by the trough, it rocks and discharges its contents into a drain K, but a certain portion is deflected by an adjustable lip H<1> into one of a number of bottles G<2> carried by a turntable G. This turntable is given a step-by-step rotation from the return movements of the trough to the normal position by means of a pawl L<1> which engages projections M. Incorrect movements of the table are prevented-by a rod N carried by the trough.

Patent GB-191326790-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Percussive Hammers, Drills and the like.
Inventor: WAKFER WILLIAM HENRY
IPC: E21B1/30
Filed: 1912-11-26
Granted: 1913-12-29
Abstract: 26,790. Wakfer, W. H., and Peck, S. Nov. 26, 1912. Percussive drills; percussive hand tools.-In a percussive hammer, drill, or like tool in which a piston - rod is formed to co-operate with a nut device to rotate the tool, the nut imparting rotation in one direction to the chuck and reverse rotation being prevented by means of a ratchet mechanism, the piston has a rod on each end and may be reversed to use either rod as the hammer head. The rods may have similar or dissimilar helical ribs. grooves, or surfaces; or the helical parts may be in opposite directions; or one rod may be non- helical and of cylindrical, angular, or like form In the form shown, the rods c of the piston b engage nuts e having reversible spring-pressed pawls z engaging ratchet-wheels s, which may be reversed so as to change the direction of rotation of the chuck x which is engaged by the forward nut e. The piston may be reversed to use either rod c for striking a tool within the chuck x, the nuts, ratchet-wheels, and pawls being interchanged, if necessary. When the roar piston-rod is non-helical and of angular or like form, by removing the rear nut e and co-operating parts, positive rotation of the chuck may be replaced by slip rotation due to resistance of the piston to turning. When the rods have helical formations in opposite directions, and of like or different pitch, two or three speeds of rotation of the tool in either direction may be obtained by using the forward ratchet mechanism alone or together with the rear ratchet mechanism. When one rod is of plain cylindrical form and is arranged at the front end of the tool. the chuck x is rotated from the handle 19, which may have extensions 23 to increase the leverage. The handle 19 may be secured to the cylinder bolts or to short bolts 21, buffers 22 being provided to absorb shock. Ball bearings 6 may be provided, and the rods c may be secured to the piston by tapered ends engaging tapered recesses in the piston. Fluid may pass from the cylinder to a hollow tool through ports 16, 17 in the pistonrods. Numerous slight modifications in the construction of the tool are referred to.

Granted: 1914-07-23
Abstract: 27,771. Kruger, E. A., and Sannig, K. Dec. 2. Filaments; filaments, supports for.-A metal filament is wound in wide loops which form a pyramidal structure at one end of the lamp. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a stem t is provided with a lower set of hooked radial arms h, an upper set of loops s, or other guiding-means, and an extension consisting of a number of wire eyes 3 joined by glass beads p; or the stem and extension may be of quartz and eyes may be pierced in the extension. A filament passes from a leading-in wire 1, or an arm h, through a loop s, eye 3, and opposite radial loop s before reaching another arm h, and so on, to form a number of four-sided loops each having an apex in one of the eyes 3 and side limbs which lie on opposite sides of the lamp axis. In a modification, the guiding- means consists of an insulating-frame s<1>, Fig. 2, which may be polygonal or circular and engages the filament frictionally; the extension is provided with, for example, two pairs of cross-arms t<3> alternating with notches. The filament loops form groups which cross each other, the loops in each group lying in nearly parallel planes. In other forms, each pair of arms t<3> may be replaced by an insulating cross-arm with four or more notches in it; the cross-arms may be inclined at any angle to each other and may be replaced by hooks lying close to the extension; the hooks may be arranged in screw fashion around the extension. The spread of the arms h may differ from that of the guiding- means.

Title: Improvements relating to Spreadboard Apparatus for use with Flax and other Fibres.
IPC: D01B5/00
Filed: 1914-01-19
Granted: 1914-11-05
Abstract: 1454. Machie & Son, J., Sinton, V. W., and Kirk, R. Jao. 19. [Cognate Application, 4995/14.] Stop-motions.-Relates to a device for varying the speed of delivery of stricks of flax or the like to the table of a spread board, in which the stricks are weighed as they are supplied to the machine and automatic mechanism is controlled in accordance with the weight on the table at any moment for varying the speed of drive of the spread board. The stricks are delivered by transferrer mechanism and laid on the weighing-table 23 which is carried by rods 24 supported by counterbalanced levers 25 and levers 28 connected through a link to a lever carrying a guard plate. The spread board is driven through a differential gear, one member of which is controlled by the shaft 33, which is driven by a ratchet device. The pawls 38 are carried by arms 69 operated by eccentrics 73 on a shaft 74. A number of pawls are arranged or operated by eccentrics arranged at equal angles around the shaft and these impart a fairly continuous rotation to the shaft 33. The speed is varied by the alteration in position of the guard plate, which uncovers more or fewer teeth and allows each pawl to turn the shaft a greater or less amount. The rotation of the shaft 33 may be transmitted through a spring coupling. The guard plates operated by the weighing-table 23 are so arranged that when the table is at its highest position, the shaft 33 is driven at such a speed that the driven member does not turn at all. The position of the weighing-table may be utilized to stop the spread board when an empty holder comes into position on the cross channel 63. A feeler 94 is adapted to detect the presence of a strick in the holder and carries a plate 97 having a hole through which a vertical spring-controlled rod 100 is adapted to pass. If an empty holder comes into position, the feeler 94 moves far enough to carry the hole in the plate 97 out of register with the rod 100 which depresses the plate by the action of the cam 103. The plate rests on the top of a rod 91, which is thereby depressed and operates to carry a cam 106 under a bowl 105 on the rod 24 and lift the table into its highest position, thereby stopping the spread board. The rod 91 may be held depressed by a trip-device until the shaft 107 has completed a full revolution.
