Abstract: 28,700. Schneider, E. Dec. 9. Electric-motor actuation.-In systems where movements at one station are transmitted to another station and are reproduced by means of an electric motor, an electric - motor - driven switch 13, j is released step-by-step by an escapement consisting of a finger working in a sinuous grooves' and operated intermittently by an electro-magnet w. Retractive switches with compound movement. The circuits of the motor and magnet ware controlled by hand-operated retractive switches a, 23 which can be moved to the right or left and also depressed. The switch a has fixed contacts c, e which are completed by a left or right movement of the arm a, and also has contacts b, d, with which contact can be made by depressing the arm. With the arm 23 in the position shown and the arm of the controller a thrown to the left or right, one of the switches g<2>, g<1> is operated to close the circuits of the motors, but these are locked by their escapements. Each time the arm is depressed to touch the contact b or d and then released, the motor j moves its escapement disk forward one tooth. The switch arm 23 when in its right-hand position completes a circuit if depressed.

Abstract: 23,516. Holland, L. B. May 29. Shock of landing, deadening; aerial machines adapted to travel also on land. - The understructure of an aerial machine is arranged so that the machine can travel on groundwheels in starting, but the wheels are automatically raised above the skid when the machine rises, so that the shock of landing will be taken wholly by the skid. The wheels may, however, be secured in their lowered position so that the machine can land on them. The device is shown on a machine as described in Specification 12,880/11, and comprises a skid 9, a fixed rear wheel, and two front adjustable wheels 8 carried by arms 11 pivoted to an axle 13. A spring 15 tends to raise the wheels to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, when the machine rises. On the ground the wheel axle 10 bears against the part 14 of the chassis and prevents the springs 15 from moving the wheels. When it is desired to descend on to the wheels, a foot-plate 20 is depressed, thus rotating a crank-shaft 17, the cranks 18 of which abut against the arms 11. A spring-bolt 21 connected with the foot-plate 20, Fig. 6, enters a recess in the axle 13 and maintains the wheels in the lowered position against the action of the springs 15.

Abstract: 6493. Boult, A. J., [International Wrapping Machine Co.]. July 21, 1911. Pile-tables for sheet feeds; sheet-separators.- A sheet-feeding device of the kind in which the sheet is released by a suction device and separator and fed forward by a rotary feeding- segment, applicable for feeding wrappers to a wrapping-machine described in Specification 16,806/11, [Class 94(i), Packing &c.], comprises a hopper 104, 105, from. the bottom of which the bottom wrapper is released by a suction separator 117 and a plate 126, and fed forward by friction feed-rolls 80 to the rolls 82, 83. The bottom plate 104 of the hopper is recessed at the rear end to accommodate the sucker 117, and centrally for the feedrolls 80. A bridge-piece projects between the rolls 80 and slightly lifts the front end of the pile above the surface of the plate 104. Above the pile is a follower plate 107, with ears threaded on to U-shaped members 109 so that the plate can be turned over to rest on a support 110. The front standards 106 are undercut to form a guide through which the bottom sheet may be fed. The feed-rolls 80 are formed with smooth projections 115 which lift the pile prior to the engagement therewith of the elevated friction segments 114. The sucker 117 is carried on a shaft 118, which is rocked by a cam 121 on the shaft 79, and is connected by a flexible pipe to a pump worked from a cam or eccentric. As soon as the sheet has been drawn down, the plate 126 is inserted above the bottom sheet and lifted to raise the remainder of the pile. The plate 126 is carried on a bell-crank 125 pivoted at 127 and connected by a link 135 to a lever 130 rocked by a cam 133. The pivot 127 is located on a standard 128 normally held down by a spring 134. As the lever 130 commences to rise, it first rocks the crank 125 until an adjustable stop 138 thereon contacts with a projection, after which, continued motion of the lever 130 raises the standard 128 and lifts the pile. At this stage the suction is broken and the sheet is fed forward by the rolls 80 into the bite of the rolls 82, 83.

Abstract: 21,052. Hack & Cie, J. Dec. 9, 1911, [Convention date]. Cigar-making machines. - In machines for pressing and moulding the rolled cigar bunches, the moulds, which are in two parts, are arranged to have the lower part moved down and the upper part or cover raised so that the bunches are entirely free from the mould and remain suspended by means of prongs by which they are then turned. The prongs 16 are carried by cranks 17 mounted in supports 15, which are positioned on rails 12, 13 and are operated to engage the cigar bunches by means of the crank handle 2, pinions 6, 7, and racks 8, 9, 10, 11. The mould blocks are mounted on the rails 26 and the mould bottoms are clamped by clamps 27 while on the inward movement of the rails, projections 40 are forced over, and projections 39 under, the mould cover and thus hold it firmly. The lever is then operated, lowering the lower parts of the mould by means of the levers 30, pins 29, rail 28, and rails 26. The descent of the rails 26 operates a double lever 35 causing bows 34 to rise and carry with them pins 36 mounted on the rails 12, 13 and supporting the projections 39, 40 to raise the mould cover. The bunches are then supported only by the prongs 16, and are rotated by means of the handle 21 operating a slotted tube 18 and thereby the cranks 17 of the prongs. The mould parts are then replaced.

Granted: 1914-01-12
Abstract: 28,472. Still, W. J. Dec. 10. Motor power plant.- In an engine which generates steam in its cylinder jacket, the exhaust gases are used to heat the feed-water and to super-heat the steam raised in a generator and in the cylinder jackets, and they may. also be used, either alone or in conjunction with other heating-agents, to raise steam in the generator. The Figure shows an engine having oppositely-moving pistons, to the front faces of which steam is admitted from the jackets 13. The steam, which is conveyed to the jackets 13 from a super-heater (not shown) is generated in the cylinder jacket 10. After use in the cylinders 3, the steam is conveyed to the low-pressure cylinders 17, 18. A turbine may comprise the lowpressure unit, and the steam before admission thereto may be reheated. Alternatively, highpressure steam cylinders may exhaust into the front ends of the internal-combustion cylinders which form the low-pressure units. The combustion gases may induce air into the ash-pit of a steam-generator, any unburnt combustible remaining in the gases being consumed in the furnace.
