Inventor: AHLEN GUSTAF SIGFRID
Filed: 1908-07-23
Granted: 1909-07-23
Abstract: 15,680. AhlÚn, G. S. July 23. Brakes.-In a back-pedalling brake mechanism for cycles &c. the inclined edges of collars 3, 5 upon the driving-sleeve 2<b> co-operate with similar edges upon a freely-mounted collar 4 to force a shoulder 4<a> upon this collar into engagement with a split shell or cylinder 7 for applying the brake. The surface of the shoulder is formed convex &c. to prevent sticking when the direction of pedalling is changed. When the brake is applied, the left end of the cylinder 7 presses upon a conical block 10 carried by a fixed bearing-cone 9, the block being adjusted by means of a nut 13, and if desired, a nut 12 on the axle or on the cone may also be provided. To prevent the brake shell from turning, its left edge is notched to engage knobs, pins, &c, on the cone 9 or on the block 10, or, if the nut 12 is sunk into the block, it may carry projections passing through slots in the block to engage the shell. To prevent deformation of the split shell 7 by tempering, prior to this process it is preferably channelled, the splitting by fracture along the channel, being effected afterwards. To facilitate the fracturing, holes may be bored in the channel before the shell is tempered.

Granted: 1910-01-06
Abstract: 2936. Jost, C. Feb. 6. Moistening.-In apparatus for supplying cool and moist air to buildings, rooms, &c., the air is forced or drawn over a spiral screw, a series of steps, or a vertical spiral of porous earthenware &c. kept continually moist. Fig. 1 shows one form of apparatus in which air, entering by an inlet in the base, is drawn by a fan through a spiral passage in the base, which contains water, and through a helical passage, formed by a screw in the upper part of the apparatus, to the outlet. The pipe enclosing the screw is formed preferably of earthenware glazed on the outside. The screw is formed of unglazed porous earthenware and is kept moist either by a spray from a tap or by connecting the tap to the hollow spindle of the screw which is closed at the lower end. The walls of the spiral passage in the base are kept moist partly by water which falls from the screw and partly by capillary action. In a modification, shown in Fig. 4, the spiral passage in the base is replaced by an arrangement of vertical baffles having openings at the top and at or near the bottom alternately, so that the air passes up and down between the plates. The screw also may be replaced by a central pipe having a series of projecting horizontal arms over which water is sprayed. The spray may issue from the top of the central pipe which may be hollow. The hot-air or other motor driving the fan may be placed near the air inlet, or it may be wholly or partly enclosed within the base of the apparatus, as shown in Fig. 6. The upper part of the apparatus may be rotatable. The whole apparatus may be mounted on castors so as to be portable or it may be fixed, and conduits provided with dampers may lead the cooled moist air to the rooms &c. A fan may be placed in each outlet. The apparatus may be arranged horizontally.

Granted: 1910-05-26
Abstract: 16,727. British Steel & Wire Co., and Saville, H. July 17. Drawing wire. - In a continuous wire-drawing machine, the speed of each drum is controlled by the pull exerted on the wire by the next succeeding drum. Each drum A is driven through worm gearing a<3>, a<4> by a shaft a<5>, on which is mounted a cone a<7>. This cone is driven at varying speed From a cone d by means of an interposed ring a<8>, which can be adjusted axially by means of the fork e<2> of a lever E, the cone a<7> being pressed towards the cone d by a weighted lever a<10> to avoid slip. The wire B after passing round one drum is carried over a pulley e<4> on the lever E regulating the speed of that drum, and then on through a die C to the next drum. In the extreme s low position of the lever E, the ring a<8> is moved on to a reduced portion a<11> of the cone a<7>, so that the drum is stationary. When threading the wire into the machine, each lever is operated by hand to start its drum, and subsequently by the action of the wire against the pull of a weight e<3>. A pin e<5> in holes e<6> holds or limits the motion of the lever. If desired, the cone a<7> and ring a<8> may be replaced by a friction wheel fixed on the shaft a<5> which is moved axially by the lever E, the worm a<4> being feathered on the shaft. The reduced portion a<11> is in this case made on the cone d.

Abstract: 18,012. Zee, C. Aug. 4. Switches, quick-action.-In a quick make-andbreak switch a pair of sectors 6, 10, Fig. 1, separated by a gap, are mounted upon the handle 5 and engage a member 8 projecting from the contact-maker 1 so as to hold it in or out of contact until a sufficient tension is put upon the spring 4, which is connected between a lower extension of the contact-maker and the pivot of the handle. As shown in Fig. 1 applied to a two-way tumbler switch, the mechanism is mounted upon a porcelain wall 11 perpendicular to the base, and the base is only bored for the holding down screws of the leading-in wires. On moving the handle 5 over to the opposite position, the spring is bowed in the opposite direction and the pin 8 passes along the under part of the segment 6, until the gap between the two segments is reached, whereupon the contact bar is released and snaps over under the action of the spring. In moving into the contact position, the pin 8 moves over the inner side of the sector 10, Fig. 4. In moving back again, the contact bar is locked, while the sector 10 passes over the pin 8 and is freed when the gap is reached. To ensure positive operation of the switch should the spring fail, a pin 29 is arranged to engage one or other of two projections 27, 28 upon a lever 25 pivoted to the same spindle as the handle and connected by a pin-and-slot mechanism with the lower portion of the contact member. The application to a knife switch is similar.
