Abstract: 4202. Haring, P. P. Feb. 18. Cotton, gathering. -Consists of improvements in cotton-picking machines in which rotary spindles carrying picker points are mounted on carriers between which the plants pass. In the machine shown in Fig. 1, the picker spindles are mounted in arms h' projecting from hollow metal slats h which are carried by chains e, e<1> passing round sprockets on spindles carried by two frames fixed to the cranked axle. The spindles are driven by clutches r and the chain and bevel gearing shown. Pins on the chains fit into sockets in projections g on the slats so that the latter may be removed by raising them. The weight of the slats &c. is taken by rails o on which run rollers o' attached to the slats. The rails may be bent to impart-an up-and-down movement to the slats &c. The spindles are driven by bevel gearing from shafts j which are rotated in opposite directions, for picking and discharging the cotton, by the engagement of pinions k with wide racks l, m. A rail n holds the pinions in gear with the rack l. The picker arms are free to swing slightly backwards and forwards. These movements may be controlled by cams. Each picker arm consists of a dust-proof shell made up of semicylindrical members secured to heads. The tubular-picker spindles are closed at their inner ends and are formed with shoulders 52, Fig. 10, fitting against their supporting-cones. They are provided with pairs of points 21 projecting lengthwise of the spindles and bent circumferentially and then inwards and downwards, leaving a cavity 21<a> between them. The spindles may be adapted to move longitudinally in the cones as in the modification shown in Figs. 6 and 7. In the modified machine, projections on the removable slats 12 fit into dovetailed recesses 10 in plates 9 which are mounted on vertical shafts 8 driven by bevel and chain gearing. The picker spindles 16 are mounted in two sets of cones 15 fixed directly on each slat, and are actuated by bevel gearing from shafts 24 driven in pairs from externally toothed racks and internally toothed racks 29 by the gearing shown. The spindles are connected with the bevel-pinions 18 by pins 19<a> and spiral grooves 20, which cause them to be projected and retracted longitudinally, as well as rotated.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Condensing Plants.
Inventor: CHRISTLEIN PAUL
IPC: F16H41/00
Filed: 1913-10-27
Granted: 1915-06-24
Abstract: 24,349. Christlein, P., and Moller, G. Oct. 27. Condenser systems.-In a condenser system comprising auxiliaries driven by shafts rotating at different speeds, one of the liquids used in the plant, for instance the cooling-water or the liquid used in a jet air-pump, is employed for the transmission of power from one shaft to the other, so that both shafts are driven from the same source of power. The high-speed shaft is directly driven by an engine A, and a centrifugal pump a on the shaft f delivers liquid to a turbine b on the low-speed shaft e. One of the pumps d on the shaft e may be arranged in the same housing as the turbine b. In the plant shown, the transmission liquid is a portion of the circulating-water, and the remainder is pumped by the low-speed pump d, the two portions uniting in the pipe p' leading to the condenser D. On the high-speed shaft f is arranged a pump C for water of condensation, or a return feed-pump; on the low-speed shaft is fitted a pump B, which may be a rotary airpump or a pump supplying water to a jet airpump. In another form of plant, the transmission liquid is that used for actuating a jet air-pump, and a separate pump on the lowspeed shaft is used for circulating water. If water is used as transmission liquid, it may, after passing through the jet air-pump, be mixed with the circulating-water. Liquids such as oil or mercury may, however, be used with advantage in this modification, the liquids being preferably passed through a closed circuit comprising a cooling-device. The system may be extended to the actuation of three or more shafts at different speeds. Specification 4304/12, [Class 110 (i), Centrifugal and screw fans &c.], is referred to.

Granted: 1914-11-05
Abstract: 6491. Greener, H. March 14. Safety appliances applicable generally; breech actions, sliding barrel and breech-block. -Consists in constructing slaughtering-pistols so that the cartridge cannot be fired until a controlling-member has been displaced by pressure of the weapon against the head of the animal. Examples of construction are shown applied to several types of slaughtering-pistols. As shown in Fig. 1, the displacement of a spring rod d depresses the nose c<2> of a pivoted lever out of the path of the striker b, allowing the striker to complete its full movement and fire the weapon when the trigger e is operated. Fig. 3 shows a modified form in which the rod d is connected to a sleeve sliding on the barrel and is formed with a projection d<3> at its rear end engaging the trigger lever f. The trigger cannot be operated until the projection d<3> has been moved clear of the projecting end of the lever f. The pivoted member e<1> on the lever f is tripped by the striker when resetting the mechanism. Fig. 5 shows another construction in which the rod d, when moved, cocks the striker and also brings the nose c<4> of the striker-engaging member within the range of operation of the trigger. Fig. 12 shows a construction in which the spring rod q projects through a silencing chamber m<1> and by means of a sliding sleeve q<3> is adapted to withdraw the member p<3> from the path of the striking-pin o. Fig. 7 shows a construction in which the movement of the controlling-member unlocks the trigger, cocks the striker, and inserts and extracts the cartridge. The controlling-member comprises a spring barrel d which moves from the position shown so as to close the breech a<3>. The cartridge is placed with the bullet end in the barrel and the head resting on the part g<5> of a sliding member g. At first, the barrel slides relatively to the member g through the medium of the slot g<2> and pushes the cartridge rearwardly, but when the member g<5> enters the slot g<6>, the barrel and slide move in unison and the projection g<3> cocks the striker, the projection g<4> is brought within range of the trigger, and the cartridge is forced into position as the breech is closed. Finally, the reduced portion of the barrel is brought opposite to the end f<4> of the trigger lever, thus permitting this lever to be rocked sufficiently for the trigger to be operated. On the return movement, the projection g<5> engages behind the rim of the cartridge and extracts it. Fig. 10 shows the application to a captive-bolt pistol. The rearward movement of the bolt j or other member, against the action of the spring h<1>, brings the cartridge chamber h within the range of the striker b. To re-load, the barrel of the pistol is unscrewed from the handle.
