Title: Improvements in Automatic Weighing Machines
Inventor: POOLY WALTON STEAD

Granted: 1907-07-11
Abstract: 27,226. Pooley, W. S., and Brian, J. Nov. 30. Automatic-feed weighers.-Relates to the type in which a moving ball or weight operates the discharging-device. A pivoted. catch 20, holding the feed-gate 16 in the open position, is operated by a projection 22 on the weigbing-receptacle or on the beam. To the gate is attached a weighted or spring-controlled lever 18 which, when the gate is freed, presses on the beam to assist the descent of the loaded receptacle. For filling silos or the like, a lever 26, with a sloping surface and connected by a link 27 to a pin 28, is used to prevent the descent of the lever 18 if the silo is so full that the grain accumulates on the lever. On the depression of the load side of the balance, the ball 6 runs along a supplementary beam 24 and strikes a lever 10 connected to a pivoted catch 13, thereby freeing the latter for the discharge. The bucket may be double, as shown, or may be single and closed in any known manner.

Inventor: KIMBER WILFRED CHARLES
Filed: 1907-07-30
Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 17,436. Kimber, W. C. July 30. Billiards. - Revolving billiard tables are provided with a pedal or like means whereby the table may be slightly raised prior to its being turned into a convenient position for playing the balls. A base a, Fig. 1, supports a vertical pivot c the upper portion of which is screwed, to permit of the adjustment thereon of a structure d arranged to support the usual form of removable billiard table. During play, the table may be rotated without shock by depressing a treadle g and thus raising the pivot slightly on a ball bearing n. In a modification, the pivot c rests in a tapered bearing in the base a and is supported at the lower extremity of the pivot on a thrust bearing formed on one end of the treadle g, which is made in two parts so that it may be folded when not in use. In a further modification; shown in Fig. 2, the table support r revolves with the pivot c on ball bearings x. While in use, the support r rests upon a circular rail s, which may be raised or lowered by means of radial fins t engaging steps h<1>. For slighly raising the table during play, the treadle q is pivoted on a pin y ; for large adjustments, the pivot h is used.

Abstract: 1 0 , 5 2 9. Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning. June 7, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Dyeing.-Paper having a relief effect shown in colour is manufactured on the paper-machine by impressing on the web of paper, while it is on the wire-cloth or wet felt, patterns in relief by means of an engraved roller and then colouring the impressed paper by means of felts, which trail on the moving web and dip in a colour bath, or by means of nozzles which spray dye solutions on to the web at an acute angle to the surface. The paper is finished in the usual manner. A sucker, placed beneath the wirecloth or felt and opposite the roller, serves to prevent the paper from adhering to the roller. The paper may be used for bookbinding &c., wrapping-paper, &c.

Title: Improved Method of and Apparatus for Compounding Alternating Current Generators.
Inventor: BARNES JOHN EDWARD LLOYD
Filed: 1908-05-28
Granted: 1909-08-30
Abstract: 11,558. Barnes, J. E. L., [Breslauer, M.]. May 28. Dynamos, alternating current; field magnets; rotary converters. -In compounding alternating- current generators, particularly in the method described in Specification No. 14,897, A.D. 1908, current variations are compensated for by means of a converter G, the armature g of which is fed by the main current and the station g<3> of which carries the brushes g<1> and is capable of adjustment relatively to the angular position assumed by the flux as determined by its phase lag. Variation of voltage due to variation of speed is compensated for by means of an auxiliary exciter, the effect of which is to oppose the main excitation either by opposing the main exciting ampere turns f<4> on the generator F or on the main exciter E, or by opposing the voltage of the latter ; or that of the machine G. The auxiliary exciter, which may be a self-exciting continuous-current machine, may be driven directly by the main generator or indirectly thereby by means of a synchronous or asynchronous motor or by a commutator motor, or the auxiliary exciter may consist of a single or doublewound converter. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the three phase windings f<1>, f<2>, f<3> of the alternator are connected to the windings A of a transformer S, the windings C of which are connected to tappings on the armature g of the converter G. Direct current from the brushes g<1> excites the field winding e of the exciter E which has also a self-exciting winding e'. The asynchronous machine S may be dispensed with, and the three-phase windings f<1>,f<2>,f<3> connected directly to the armature g. The stator g<2> may be formed with or without poles. Recesses g<1> are provided opposite the brushes g'.

Title: Improvements in Pressure Governing Apparatus.
Inventor: TURNER WALTER VICTOR
Filed: 1908-09-11
Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 19,123. Turner, W. V. Nov. 1, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Brakes.-In order that all the compressors in a train may be equally employed in compressing fluid for the fluid-pressure brakes, the supply of fluid from the storage reservoirs to the supply pipe or common receptacle is governed by a series of valves so arranged that they are simultaneously actuated by any one of a number of regulating-mechanisms, which are governed by the pressure in the supply pipe. On each motor-car in the train is a storage reservoir 1 charged by a compressor 2 and connected by a branch pipe 5, containing a reducing-valve 15, to the supply pipe 4. The driver's valve 7 is connected to the supply pipe and the train-pipe 6 by branches 8, 9. A by-pass 14 from the reservoir 1 around the reducing-valve 15 contains an electrically-operated valve 16. One terminal of each electro-magnet 17 is connected to an electric conductor 18 continuous throughout the train, the other terminal being connected to a common return. The conductor 18 is connected to the current supply through a number of switches 22, the movable part of which is connected to a diaphragm 20, subjected on one side to the pressure in the control pipe and on the other side to the pressure of a spring. When the pressure in the train line falls, the switches 22 along the train are closed, and the solenoids 17 are energized, opening the valves 16 to supply air from all the reservoirs 1 to the supply pipe through the by-pass 14. The reservoirs supply air until all the switches have cut out, the final one to cut out breaking the circuit and permitting the valves 16 to close. In another form, the diaphragm is subjected on one side to the pressure admitted from the usual feedvalve 15, Fig. 2, through the pipe 24, and the other side is subjected to the pressure in the supply pipe. When the pressure in the supply pipe falls, the switches 22 are closed, and they are opened by a light spring 19 as soon as the pressure in the supply line equalizes with the pressure supplied through the feed-valve 15. The electric mechanism can be cut out and the feed-valve employed for supplying air to the supply pipe by opening a cock 26. In another form, the electrically-operated valve 16 controls the release of fluid from the main piston 27 of the feed-valve 15, so that air is supplied through the operation of the feed-valve itself.

Abstract: 21,198. Hirth, C. A. Oct. 7. Cutting-machines for leather &c.-In machines for splitting leather, millboard, &c., the material is fed continuously by two sets of reciprocating grippers e, which co-operate with a guide-bar c or an idle roller to carry the material close up to the cutter blade a. Each gripper e has a toothed upper edge and is pivoted on the end of a lever h. The gripper e is pressed against the material by a spring g, which may be adjusted by turning a non-circular rod i. The lever and gripper are actuated by rotating cams l, q so that the gripper feeds the material to the knife, then drops free of the material and returns to its initial position, and then rises and again feeds the material. The levers h are pivoted side by side on a shaft h<1>, and alternate grippers are connected so that, while one set of grippers is returning, the other set is feeding the material forwards, thus giving a continuous feed..
