Filed: 1909-01-09
Granted: 1909-10-14
Abstract: 552. Anderson, H. P. H. Jan. 9. Operating sliding doors.-Sliding doors are made water-tight by expanding a flexible tube carried by the frame by automatically forcing in elastic or non- elastic fluid from a bulb or cylinder when the door is closed. The flexible tube 16 is carried in a groove 15 on the frame 6 and is connected to a bulb 17 contained in a cylinder 18. The door is raised by rack-and-worm gearing 5, 8, operated by screw gear 7, and, when the sash reaches its closed position, the rack 5 runs off, and a rack 9 slidably mounted on the foot F on the door engages the worm 8 and pushes the rod 11 by means of the link 10 against the piston 19, thereby forcing fluid from the bulb 17 into the tube 16. The door may be operated from a power shaft g carrying a sleeve with two bevel-wheels h, one of which is held in engagement with a wheel j on the shaft m by a spring k, the rotation of the shaft m being reversed by the handle l. The shaft m that operates the screw gear 7 is in two parts, connected by an angled socket n and sleeve O, so that a local operator may control the motion of the door or throw the gear out of action by means of a handle Q connected to the sleeve O.

Abstract: 2411. Griffin, S. Feb. 2. Incandescent igniters; tubes. - An igniting- chamber, containing heat - conserving material, is placed external to the combustion chamber and is connected therewith by a passage controlled by a timing- valve. The valve remains open until the exhaust port is opened to allow the igniting- material to be heated, and to allow the igniting-chamber and passage to be cleared of combustion products. In one construction, a single chamber is connected by two or more passages with a corresponding number of cylinders. The chamber B containing the heat-conserving material d<2> communicates with the cylinder by a passage E controlled by a valve F. The valve may be mechanically actuated to open in every cycle, or may be a screw-down valve which times the ignition by limiting the passage. An auxiliary electric or tube igniter may be used for starting, and may be insulated during normal running by the screw-down valve I.

Inventor: KIRKHAM WILLIAM
IPC: C21D9/00
Filed: 1909-03-30
Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 7549. Kirkham, W. March 30. Gaseous-fuel furnaces.-In a gas-fired regenerative cementation furnace having a single pot, a number of gas valves are provided at the sides so that the heat at different parts of the furnace can be regulated, and flues beneath and at the sides of the pot are so arranged that the products of combustion pass twice beneath the bottom of the pot. Producer gas from a flue A passes through valves b into flues C, where it meets air heated in the reversible regenerator J. The products of combustion flow through the flues C beneath the pot D, through vertical flues E, and over the top of the pot, after which they descend flues E' and pass through transverse flues C' to the regenerator J<1>. From the regenerator, the products of combustion pass to the stack through a reversing-valve K of the kind described in Specification 15,624/98. At each end of the pot, the gases pass through flues F, G, H, shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, to a transverse flue i leading to the regenerator.

Title: An Improved Arrangement for Controlling Fluid Transmission Gear in Motor Cars.
IPC: B60K17/10
Filed: 1909-06-19
Granted: 1909-11-11
Abstract: 14,429. Lentz - Getriebe Ges., and Lentz, H. June 19. Brakes, counter-pressure. - C o m p r i s e s a hollow piston controlling-valve for fluid-pressure power-transmission gear on motor-cars, the interior of which always communicates with the suction pipes of the driving-pumps. The gear can be adjusted for braking and reversing. The valve a has a broad working face d provided with openings b, c and adapted to cover ports I, II in the valve casing g. In the casing are ports III, IV, V, the port V having two chambers h, i formed with bars k for connecting opposite sides of the small face e, to which two segmental pieces f are connected, these pieces closing the port V when the valve is suitably positioned. As shown in Fig. 1, fluid is forced by pressure pumps l, m into the port IV, from which it passes to the port II, it then passes to the secondary or driven pumps n, o which run single-acting and exhaust to the port V. A small portion of the exhaust passes through the openings b and the port i, the second inlet for the pumps n, o, so that no back-pressure is caused. When the valve is moved to the right, so that the opening c registers with the port III, the pressure fluid passes to both inlet ports of the secondary pump, so that they are doubleacting and run at half speed. When moved further to the right, the exhaust is throttled or entirely stopped owing to the position of the segmental pieces f, so that a braking effect is obtained, the pressure water passing through the chambers h, i back to the suction of the primary pumps. For reversing, the valve is moved so that the ports II, III are cut off from the pressure fluid, which passes by the port V to the driven motors, and returns by the ports II, III to the suction pipe of the driving- motors.

Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 7302. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. March 23. Master control systems ; systems for alternating-current motors only; controllers, actuating- mechanism for.-An alternating-current motor controller is provided with means for accelerating the speed of the motor controlled by devices that are responsive to varying conditions in the secondary circuit. As shown applied to a three-phase circuit, the accelerating - means comprises a number of switches 6, 7, 8 controlling sets of resistance sections 20, 21, 22 respectively. The switches are provided with controlling - relays 9, 10, 11, each relay comprising a switch having windings 24, 25, 26 in each phase of the secondary circuit. On closing a manually-operated switch 30, a circuit is completed from the lead 31 through the conductor 35, contact plates 17, conductor 36, and starting-switch winding 14, to the lead 32. The switch 14 is operated, completing the maincircuit through the switch bars 12, 13, and also closing a maintaining circuit for the switch 14 through the conductor 43 and contact plate 15 to the conductor 36. A second contact plate 16 is brought against its terminals immediately after the main switch has closed, completing a circuit from the switch bar 13 through conductor 47, switch winding 8<a>, protective relay 11, and conductor 44 to the switch bar 12. If, on closure of the main switch, abnormal conditions are set up in the secondary circuit, the relay device 11 is operated, lifting the contact plate 23, and thus preventing the circuit through switch 8<a> from being closed. When the abnormal conditions die away, the plate 23 is dropped, and the switch 8<a> is operated to cut out resistances 22 and to render the relay device 11 inoperative. The relay device 10 then operates similarly, controlling the operation of the switch 7<a>, and thus the cutting-out of the resistances 21; and, finally, the switch 6<a> is operated to cut out the resistances 20.

Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 10,481. Boult, A. J., [Leeson, J. R.]. April 28. Winding-machines.-The traverse mechanism is arranged to wind a cop or bobbin in concentric conical layers with a tapering body portion, the taper corresponding to or being greater than that of the tube on which the yarn is wound, as described in Specification 10,480/10. The thread-guide g is carried on a bifurcated holder l, the legs of which are loosely mounted on a traverse bar f formed with partial and eccentric threads f<1>. A nut n, carrying a contact wheel or friction disk o, is mounted between the legs of the holder and is pressed by a spring m normally to engage the threads f<1>. By pressing the wheel o against the spring m, it may be moved back along the traverse bar to start the winding of a new cop or bobbin. At the end of each traverse, when the guide g is in its rear position, the contact wheel engages with the base of the wooden tube x and is slightly rotated and fed forward along the bar f, thus causing the yarn to be laid in concentric uniform layers, the last layer forming the conical nose or delivery end. The contact wheel is arranged to travel in a path inclined to the axis of the winding-spindle so as to build the body with a slight taper by forming the traverse bar in two sections swivelled together at p. The outer end of the bar f is supported on a bearing r swivelled on a bracket s which is set in towards the axis of the winding-spindle, so that the bar f is substantially parallel with the surface of the tube x, while the bushing r provides for the angular movement of the bar as it is reciprocated by the section f<2> which slides in a bearing h and is actuated by an arm on a rocker shaft through an adjustable link. As the wheel o only contacts with the winding at the rear end of the traverse, the points of contact are in a line substantially parallel to the surface of the tube, and the thickness of yarn at the outer end of the tube will not be greater than that at the inner end. The abovedescribed arrangement can be adapted for use with machines for winding cops on paper tubes. The winding-spindle is driven through skew gearing and a spring clutch.

Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 15,117. Warchalowski, A. Jan. 5, [Convention date]. Covers.-In order to prevent the contents of a heated vessel having a screwed-down cover from being thrown out by the internal pressure when the cover is raised, the screw securing the cover is provided with a valve which relieves the internal pressure before the screw is slackened. The cover 3 is forced upon its seat by a hollow screwed bolt 1, which engages with a sleeve 2 secured rotatably to the cross-bar 4. The hand - wheel 6 which rotates the sleeve carries a valve 5 seating upon the upper end of the hollow bolt 1, and is formed with projections 8 engaging in a helical groove 7 in the sleeve. The valve is thus lifted from its seating before the wheel rotates the sleeve and raises the cover. The valve 5 also acts as a safety-valve. The head 10 of the bolt 9 securing the hinged cross-bar 4 engages in a recess 11 in the attachment 12, so that the bolt cannot be rotated, and the crossbar raised until the pressure cover has been relieved. The pivot 13 of the cross-bar may be formed flat, so that it may engage with an extension 14 of the pivot-hole, and thus support the cover in a raised position.
