Granted: 1914-01-15
Abstract: 3672. Timm, F. C. W. Feb. 22, 1912, [Convention date]. Producers; carbonizing processes and apparatus.-In the gasification of fragmentary or fine fuels, air is passed downwards through the charge, and the gases evolved during volatilization are conducted away, as a, whole or in fractions, separately from the gases evolved during gasification of the de-volatilized residue. The operation may be stopped after the devolatilization of the charge, and the remaining residue recovered as coke. The gases of the volatilization period may be treated for recovering by-products and may be subdivided by being conducted away at consecutive intervals. The apparatus consists of a receptacle A, for the fuel, resting on a substructure B and closed by a cover C. Air is admitted by a pipe D and the gases withdrawn through an outlet E below the grate F. A funnel G prevents tar which separates from the gas from re-evaporating. The receptacle A has trunnions L by which it may be moved away from the substructure and tipped.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Systems for Supplying from High Pressure Mains Continuous Current at a Lower Pressure.
Inventor: GRAHAM EDWARD ALFRED
IPC: H02M3/00
Filed: 1913-05-08
Granted: 1914-05-08
Abstract: 10,920. Graham, E. A., and Rickets, W. J. May 8. Supplying low-potential nzains from high-potential mains ; systems of charging and diacharging galvanic batteries.-An automatic system for supplying lowpressure continuous current from high-pressure mains and employing a stand-by battery comprises potentiometer resistances 5, 6, the former having a high positive temperature coefficient and the latter practically none, and a relay 7, the winding of which is in series between them. Variations of voltage in the high-pressure mains 2<a>, 3<a> are absorbed in the resistance 5, and the potential across the resistance 6 remains constant, a small and constant current normally flowing. At a certain minimum voltage of the mains 2<a>, 3<a>, the relay 7 connects the battery 1 and low-pressure mains 2, 3 through the coil of a relay 8 to the terminals of the resistance 6. No current flows in this coil so long as the battery voltage remains equal to that across the resistance 6, but when the battery voltage falls, the relay 8 is energized and an armature 8<c> connects the battery to the high-pressure mains through a charging resistance 4 (having, like the resistance 5, a high positive temperature coefficient) and the potential across the resistance 6 is increased to that required to charge fully the battery by the introduction of a section 6<a>, which is normally short-circuited by an armature 8<d>. The relay 8 may be polarized so as not to operate with a reverse current from the battery 1; or it may be connected across the high-pressure mains and controlled by a polarized relay.

Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Transmission Gearing for Motor Cycles and the like.
Inventor: JARDINE ERNEST
IPC: F16H3/08
Filed: 1913-05-22
Granted: 1914-05-14
Abstract: 11,919. Jardine, E., Watchorn, E., and Archer, J. May 22. [Cognate Application, 23,411/13.] Variable-speed toothed gearing for motor-cycles &c. comprises a double dog clutch member A which slides on feathers on a main or driving shaft B and carries a gear - wheel C. The wheel C is constantly in mesh with a wheel D on a dog clutch member E which is loose on a lay shaft F. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a wheel N fast on the shaft F meshes with a pinion J, which is loose on the shaft B and has clutch claws J'. A pinion G, also fast on the shaft F, meshes with a wheel H, which is the driven element of the gearing, and has clutch claws H<1>. The high and low speeds are obtained by sliding the member A into engagement with the claws H<1> or the claws J<1>, respectively. An intermediate speed is produced by moving the member A to a middle position, and sliding the member E into engagement with clutch claws G' on the pinion G. Power then passes through the gears C, D, G to the gear H. The members A, E are operated by one or more cams connected to a single operating - lever. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the speed changes are effected by actuating the member A only. The wheel D is thrust to the right by a spring E<1> against a shroud C' on the wheel C. As the member A is moved to the right from the high-speed position, the member E moves with it until the latter member engages clutch claws N<2> on the wheel N, bringing the intermediate speed into action. As the member A is moved further, the member E is stopped by a collar F<1> on the shaft F. The shroud C<1> then engages a collar N<1> on the wheel N, causing the wheel N to slide on feathers on the shaft F so as to disengage the claws N<2>. When the member A engages the claws J<1>, the low speed comes into action. In another arrangement, the member A and wheel N with its clutch claws N<2> are moved together by an intermediately - pivoted lever, the wheel N being thrust to the left by a spring such as F<2>, Fig. 4. By the use of a chain T, Fig. 7, a reversed drive is obtained, power then passing by way of the wheels C, D, chain-wheels R, S, the wheels J, N, shaft F, and pinion G to the wheel H. On replacing the chain-wheels R, S by meshing spur gears, a fourth forward speed results.

Abstract: 17,414. Aktiebolaget Princeps. July 29, 1912, [Convention date]. Sheet - separators. - Suction separators for feeding sheets to printing, folding, cutting, ruling, and like machines from two or more piles are constructed with separate sets of mouthpieces for the separate piles, and all the mouthpieces of a set are adjustable simultaneously and independently of those of the other set or sets to suit the kind of sheets in the corresponding piles. Fig. 2 shows an arrangement of two similar sets of mouthpieces for feeding from two piles supported on a vertically reciprocating table, the sets being connected, to permit of collective adjustment, by quadrant flanges 8, 8 which are in guided connexion by a circular rib 11 on one engaging a groove 12 on the other and are secured together by a bolt passing through a slot in one and engaging a tapped hole in the other. Each set comprises a number of mouthpieces 5 carried by sleeves 4 on a pipe 3 within which is arranged a pipe 1 rotatable by a handle 17 extending through a slot in the pipe 3 to regulate the suction by varying the register of holes 15, 16, Fig. 3, in the pipes 2, 3 opposite the mouthpieces, which are individually adjustable to an extent limited by pins 19. The pipes 3 of the two sets carry the flanges 8 and are fixed at the outer ends, one of which is connected to the suction pump, in arms 6 slotted to engage fixed bearing-pins 7, about which they are adjustable by a rod extending to a convenient position and locked. Springs 20 tend to pull the device towards the piles, and, in conjunction with the slot holes, prevent shock when the piles are raised against the mouthpieces. In a modification, the suction may be regulated by sliding the pipes 2, 3 relatively to one another.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Gear Grinding Machines.
IPC: B23F5/02
Filed: 1913-08-12
Granted: 1914-07-23
Abstract: 18,339. Reinecker Akt.-Ges., J. E. Aug. 26, 1912, [Convention date]. Gear-cutting.-A machine for grinding gearwheels that have already been cut, by the use of a grinding-tool having the outline of a rack tooth, is constructed so that the gear is indexed after each stroke of the grinder, and partly rolled off, with the result that successive strokes of the grinder act upon corresponding portions of successive wheel teeth which lie upon a spiral path a<1>, a<2>, a<3>, Fig. 6, about the wheel axis. This method serves to distribute the wear of the grinder equally over all the teeth and to ensure that they are all ground to the same extent. The machine shown in Fig. 7 comprises a reciprocating grinder slide 1, of adjustable throw, driven through a link 19 from a gear 14. The wheel 6 to be ground is mounted on a spindle 5 carried by a slide 7 and fitted with a disk connected by bands with a second slide 10, so that the relative motion between the slides 7, 10 serves to roll off the gear-wheel. The slide 7 is driven intermittently through a link 28 and ratchet 26 to roll off the gear between the strokes of the grinder; change gears 37, 39 drive the slide 10, by the adjustment of which allowance is made for variation in the pitch circle of the gear. The indexing-head 40 is driven after each stroke of the grinder by gearing 13, 43, a shaft 44, gearing 46, 51, and swinging shaft 53. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes a device, shown in Fig. 9 (Cancelled), for rendering it possible to make the rolling movement right or left handed, and to throw out the automatic feed entirely for hand manipulation, this device comprising a screw spindle 22<1> operating the slide 7 and carrying a pinion 65 engaging a pinion 63 on a shaft 60. A clutch 66 is slidable on the shaft under the influence of an internal rod 68 to couple either a bevel-pinion 59 on a spindle 22, or a loose bevel-pinion 61, with the shaft. The bevel-pinions 59, 61 are connected through a pinion 62, so that the screw spindle 22<1> may be driven automatically in either direction from the spindle 22 or, when the clutch is in the middle position, by the hand-wheel 64. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 29,220. Keall, F. B., Harrington, A., Bassett, R. W. C., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Dec. 18. Edge-setting; ornamenting.-In an edge-setting machine of the vibrating type, having a combined stitch-wheeling tool and edge-setting iron, the iron is provided with two or more curved or other parallel operating-surfaces separated by a recess, and the stitch-wheeling tool is located in alinement with this recess, to enable a closer contact with the work to be obtained. Preferably, the parallel operating-surfaces are curved conversely about an axis substantially perpendicular to the plane of the sole. The stitch-wheel A is mounted by means of the stud B<1> on the carrier B, so that its teeth are horizontal where they engage with the welt. The carrier B is mounted in a recess C<1> in the toolholder C, or preferably, as shown, in a block C<2> removably secured to the holder. The stitch-wheel is pressed forwards by the spring D mounted in the recess C' in the carrier B, its forward movement being limited by the filling-piece C<7> suitably secured in the block C<2>. The carrier B is supported by thrust-pins E, E',.which bear in recesses B<4>, C<5> and B<5>, C<6>, respectively. These pins with the spring D take the end thrust and allow the stitch-wheel to rotate freely, while permitting the carrier to move endways to accommodate varying thicknesses of welt. The edge-setting iron F, which may be either integral with or attached to the block C<2>, is formed with parallel operating- surfaces such as F<2>, Figs. 6 and 7, with a recess F<3> between them, and the stitch-wheel is mounted in alinement with the recess, so that the material of the sole at its upper corner can be pressed closely into the angle between the edge-setting iron and the stitch-wheel, as shown in Fig. 7. This arrangement also enables the usual groove F<4> in the edgesetting iron, for forming an outstanding ridge on the upper edge of the sole, to be made continuous.
