Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 25,989. Ansch³tz & Co. Nov. 9, 1909, [Convention date]. Gyroscopic compasses.-In a gyroscopic compass provided with a device for transmitting changes of position to a distance on the subsequent-rotation principle, the card 12 carries a flexible contact-arm 18 which, in the event of the compass being turned relatively to the slip, makes contact with one of two ring sections 13<a>, 13<b>, insulated from each other, and then slides along inside the ring section with very little friction, while the ring 13 is rotated in the same direction bv one or other of the motors 22, 23, the circuit of which is closed by the contact, until the arm 18 again enters the gap 17, thus interrupting the circuit. The spindle 21 of the toothed wheel 20 drives a current-reversing device, which excites one or more of the three pairs of electro-magnets in the casing 31, and so rotates the armature spindle 32, and thus the rotation is transmitted to a card 35 at a distance.

Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 29,461. Fawcus, T..Jan. 4, 1910, [Convention date]. Toothed wheels.-To retain the strength while facilitating the intermeshing of double helical toothed gear-wheels, the angular junction of the oppositely inclined portions of each tooth is recessed as shown at 4 on one side and cut away as shown at 5 on the opposite side. This may be done in cutting the teeth by working the hob to a point beyond the centre of the gear to produce the cut 4 in the opposite face of the meeting tooth, while after the gear has been cut, the hob may be worked at a different angle to remove the apex and thereby form the bevelled or flattened portion 5 parallel to the axis of the gear-wheel.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a Process for the Economic and Industrial Utilisation of Maize Straw.
Inventor: DORNER BELA
IPC: A23K10/32
Filed: 1911-04-07
Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 8638. Dorner, B. April 7. Pulp, preparation of; materials, fibrous. Relates to a process for treating maize straw and the leaves to obtain fodder for animals and cellulose suitable for paper manufacture. The maize stems freed from the earth are cut in pieces and reduced to a fibrous state. The material is then digested for several hours with a weak (0À2 to 0À4 per cent) solution of acetic acid at a moderate pressure. The liquid is discharged, the boiler filled with concentrated lime water, and the pressure increased slightly. As the lime water is neutralized quickly, small quantities of a slightly alkaline solution, such as 0À2 per cent solution of soda or a 0À1 per cent solution of sodium hydroxide, are introduced successively until the acid solution is practically neutralized. The acid and alkaline solution thus obtained are evaporated separately to a syrup, the acetous vapours arising from the acid solution being absorbed by lime. The fibrous substance remaining in the boilers consists mainly of cellulose. The pith of the maize stems known as ' parenchim ' cellulose, which is unsuitable for paper manufacture, is removed by straining the cellulose, the former passing through the sieve or strainer with the water, leaving behind the pure cellulose for the paper manufacture. The ' parenchim ' cellulose may be separated from the water on another sieve or strainer.

Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 16,852. Taylor, C. W., and Colegate, E. July 22. Setting press-button fasteners.-In a machine or setting fasteners in paper,pasteboard, boxes, &c., the fastener is guided to a reciprocating plunger by a carrier which maintains it in contact therewith until the fastener touches the surface of the work, the plunger containing a rod which enters and supports the fastener so that it acts as a punch to pierce the material. The machine is also adapted to cut the material surrounding the fastener to form a tag or ear, particularly when setting the stud portions of the fasteners in cardboard boxes. Setting-mechanism.-A lever C, Fig. 1, actuates the reciprocating plunger A, which has a central rod H movable relatively thereto and controlled by a spring H<2>. The rod H has a tapered end H<1> adapted to pass into the hollow shank of the fastener E held in contact with the plunger, which then moves down so that the fastener perforates the material and is clinched an annular hollow stationary die D. Fasteners, feeding. -The fasteners are fed along a slotted plate F formed on one arm G of a bell-crank lever G, G<2> pivoted at G<1> to the plunger, the arm G<2> being connected by a link C' to the lever C which withdraws the carrier when the fastener touches the work. The lower end of the carrier is kept in contact with the bottom of the plunger by a spring F<2>, the end of the carrier forming a stop. In Fig. 3, a modified form of stop F<3> is shown. Stops on the end of the carrier, or a spring-controlled finger on the plunger, may be provided to prevent the fasteners from falling out.

Abstract: 6228. McNeil, J., McNeil, C., and McNeil, W. A. March 13. [Cognate Application, 9991/12]. Roller mills.-Relates to means for securing the roll - bearing caps of sugar - cane and like mills. The ends of the cap, and the adjacent sides of the projecting parts of the housing in which the roll-bearing aperture is formed, are counterpartly formed and engage one another, so that the cap can be slid on and off, or turned through an angle and withdrawn. Wedges, keys, cotters, bolts, &c. may finally secure the caps in position, and the caps may be formed to receive hydraulic pressure-regulating gear, or they may be provided with distance-pieces between them and the outer halves of the bearing- bushes. Fig. 1 shows a cap C with inwardlyprojecting lugs D at its ends having recesses counterpart to projections B on the housing A, a key E being driven in between one of the projections B and lug D. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the inner surfaces of the lugs D are struck to an arc from the centre of the cap and engage with similar contoured projections B on the housing. The distance-piece H is in one with the cap, and has curved lugs L engaging in curved recesses M in the housing, so that on turning the cap through ninety degrees it can be withdrawn. Or the cap may lie entirely within the aperture in the housing and act itself as a distance-piece, bolts passing through apertures in the projecting parts of the housing and bearing on flats formed on the sides of the cap at right-angles to the projecting lugs, preventing the cap from turning. In another arrangement in which the cap is made in one with the distance-piece, the adjacent faces of the distance-piece and the aperture in the housing are formed with grooves to receive securing-keys, and, preferably, the cap also has lugs at its ends embracing the outer parts of the housing. Fig. 7 shows a T-shaped projection A on each side of the housing aperture embraced by two counterpart projections D on each end of the cap C. A distance-piece Q is inserted between the lower projection A and a square nut R in which the adjusting-screw G works, when used in connexion with a side rollerbearing aperture. In another modification, a. single T-shaped projection D, Figs. 9 and 10, is formed at opposite ends of the cap C and engages between two projections A on the housing at each side of the aperture. The projection D at the upper end of the cap is at the extreme end of the cap, and a space S is left between it and the central part of the cap of a length corresponding to the length of the projections A. At the lower end of the cap, the projection D is inward next the central part of the cap. To secure the cap in position, it is placed so that the upper projections A on the housing enter the space S in the cap, and the cap is then slid endways to cause the projections D to enter between the projections A. The cap preferably extends beyond the housing projections A, and bolts E or like securing- devices are provided.
