Granted: 1913-03-20
Abstract: 17,455. Laisne, L. E. July 27. Tyre attachments to rims; detachable-rim attachments to wheels.-A detachable-rim in the form of a thin open ring 2, Fig. 2, with or without reinforced ends, is secured to the wheel between fixed and detachable flanged rings. Figs. 2 and 4 show a single rim arrangement in which the ring b is secured by hinged clamping- members. Fig. 10 shows a twin arrangement in which the detachable flanges are secured by transverse bolts 18. The flanges b, c are shown permanently connected by distance-pieces 34. In a. modification, loose distance-rings shaped to embrace the tyre-carrying rims, are arranged to slide into position along the base of the member a. To prevent creeping of the flange b, split wedge-shaped projections 27, Fig. 7, engage corresponding recesses 26 in the part a. To prevent creeping of the tyre and its rim, the rim and the inner members a, b have depressions at each side of the valve-hole to receive projections on the head of the valve stem.

Abstract: 17,560. Crane, N., and Bowen, W. M. P. July 29. Leads; pencil and like holders.-The lead e, Fig. 3, of a pencil, crayon, &c. is shaped in the form of a prism, preferably triangular and generally of not more than four sides, so that it will be continuously sharpened by usage, and is enclosed in a casing a of similar shape having its sides substantially parallel to the sides of the lead in order that a corner of the lead will rest upon the paper when the casing is held in a natural position in the hand. The sides of the lead e may be wholly or partly concave, and the lead is held securely in a guide b of similar shape out of which tongues b<1>, Fig. 10, may be stamped to grip the lead. The lead a is propelled from its guide by means of a pusher d, the inner end of which engages a helical groove g formed on a rotatable propeller f, an offset portion d<2> of the pusher lying in an angle of the casing to prevent rotation of the pusher. The upper end of the propeller f passes loosely through one cup-shaped member h, Fig. 4, lying inside the casing, and is held tightly by a second cup-shaped member n, Fig. 5, which is free to rotate with the head-piece i, whereby the propeller f is also made to rotate. Small projections l on the cup h engage recesses p on the cup n so as to hold the cup n against accidental rotation, but so as to allow the cup n to rotate when the lead is to be advanced. The propeller f is hollow and serves as a magazine for storing additional leads.

Abstract: 6255. Maschinenfabrik Ruti, vorm. C. Honegger. April 14, 1913, [Convention date]. Weft-replenishing mechanism. - In weft - feeler mechanism.for detecting substantial exhaustion of weft, a vertically movable fork 5 is mounted on a. pivot 13 rotatable about an horizontal axis in a carrier 10, 11, which can rotate-about a vertical axis and is acted upon by a spring 12. When the fork is moved downwards, it can therefore accommodate itself to the position of an incorrectlypositioned spool by movement of the pivot 13, or by movement of.the carrier 10, 11 on its vertical axis, or by both movements. The movement of the pivot 13 is limited by stops, and the spacing of the tines of the fork 5 is adjusted by a bolt 16. The carrier 10, 11 is guided in a guide 9 provided with a stem 8 carried by a boss 7 on a verticallyreciprocated rod 4. Normally, the downward movement of the fork is stopped, as shown, by the spool 3 ; but, when this is sufficiently exhausted, the' fork straddles the spool, and an arm 19 actuates an arm 21, whereby weft-replenishing mechanism is actuated.

Granted: 1915-03-18
Abstract: 9172. Brimont, J. L. April 11. Separating by adhesion to a moistened surface.-Plantain seeds are separated from lucerne and clover seeds by applying moisture to the mixed seed, pressing the seed against a support, and finally applying heat, whereby the plantain seed is fixed adhesively to the support and the other seed is released. The mixed seed is delivered from a hopper b upon a travelling apron a of textile or other moisture-absorbing material which has been subjected to a blast d of steam. After passing between pressure rollers f, g, the band with the seeds adhering thereto is dried by a steam-heated table h, with the result that the plantain seeds remain adhesively fixed to the apron, and the lucerne and clover seeds come loose. As the apron passes over a roller i, the lucerne and clover seeds drop into a hopper j, and the plantain seeds are removed by a scraper k and fall into a hopper l. The method may be used for separating linseed from other mixed seeds, the linseed remaining adhering to the support.

Cam-actuated pumps; stroke, varying; doubleacting piston pumps; pumps for viscous liquids; pistons and plungers, arrangement of; valves, arrangement of. - In an apparatus for dividing thick fluid or pasty materials and also materials of greater fluidity, the pistons are connected to their operating - member so that the return stroke may be effected by the advancing material in the ca.se of thick fluids, but by the operating-member in the case of thinner fluids. Chocolate or other fluid is fed by a rotating worm b to one of the cylinders f by way of a valve c rapidly operated by a cam on the shaft k. and is forced through the nozzle c<1> on to a tray by the piston e. For thick fluid materials, the piston - rods e<1> are mounted loosely on arms g connected to a rod i, which is reciprocated by a pair of cams l. The rod is in two parts formed respectively with a right and left handed screw, and its length may be adjusted, so that the stroke of the pistons may be varied, by a nut h, which is feathered to a worm-wheel n<1> rotated by a worm through a hand-wheel. The wormwheel may be provided with an indicator to determine the stroke of the pistons. On the nut is loosely mounted an eyepiece o<1>, which is provided with a rack o<11> engaging a pinion on a shaft on which a disk q is mounted. The disk q has a pair of crank-pins s, t, which, through rods s<1>, t<1> and ratchet mechanism r, r<3>, rotate the drum v of the tray conveyer u on opposite strokes of the rod i. The crank-pins may be adjustable radially by a right and left handed screw. When the apparatus is used for materials having great fluidity, the piston is rigidly connected to the arm g by a nut.
