Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Electrically Operated Elevators.
IPC: B66B1/36
Filed: 1912-10-19
Granted: 1913-03-20
Abstract: 23,918. Liljeblad, R., and Aktiebolaget Elevator. Oct. 19. Electric push-button systems.-Relates to automatic electric lifts provided with means for automatically slowing down as a floor is reached, and comprises means for preventing such slowing down at floors other than that at which the cage is required to come to rest. The motor 1 has a shunt field 2 and starting-resistance 3 cut out by an electromagnetically - operated switch 4. The main controller is shown at 5, the floor-selecting device at 6, a push-button at 8, and gate contacts at 9. An auxiliary drum 10 is provided having a contact ring 11 and a short contact piece 12. A contact 13 continuously engages the contact ring, and is connected to one end of a resistance 16 in series with the shunt winding 2. A series of contacts 14 corresponding to the different floors are arranged round the drum 10 in such a manner as to engage with the contact 12 when the cage approaches the particular floor. Each of the contacts 14 is connected to an electromagnetically-operated switch 17, the energizing-coil of which is connected in series with the winding of the corresponding floor switch 7 and contact 18 of the selecting-device 6. The switches for only one floor are shown. When the pushbutton 8 is operated, the circuit is from the positive main through one or both of magnet windings of the controller floor-selecting device 6, contact 18, magnets 17, 7, push-button, and door contacts back to the negative main. The lift motor is thus started, the resistance 16 being included in the field as the contacts 14, 12 are out of engagement. As the switches 7, 17 are energized, the contacts 19, 22 are attracted, the latter short-circuiting the push-button. The contact 19 connects the contact 14 with the resistance 16. When the cage approaches the floor corresponding to the switch 7, the contacts 14, 12 engage and short-circuit the resistance 16, strengthening the field and reducing the speed. The selecting-device 6 cuts out the motor just before the floor is reached.

Title: Improved Means for Printing on Cylinders.
IPC: B41F17/18
Filed: 1912-12-13
Granted: 1913-06-26
Abstract: 28,774. Nobel's Explosive Co., and Hodge, H. D. Dec. 13. Printing on cartridges; inking-apparatus; set-off, preventing.-In a machine for printing on cartridge cases, the cases S are placed vertically on a table and are pushed on to a rotating disk, which delivers them into a guideway 6. This guideway twists through 90 degrees to deliver the cases into a trough 7 pivoted to a slide 8, reciprocated by a link 13 from a bell-crank 11. When the slide 8 reaches its extreme forward position, the case S is pushed out of the trough 7 on to a split mandrel 17. During the return stroke of the slide 8, the trough 7 tilts to clear the mandrel. During this return stroke, the case held on the mandrel is printed by a block 20, which is inked at each reciprocation of the slide 8 by a roller 35 capable of a slight vertical movement into alternate engagement with the forme and the distributing-roller 34. Ink is supplied from a duct 21 to a roller 22 which is driven by gearing 23 from a ratchet - wheel 24, actuated by a pawl 25, connected by a link 26 to a lever 27, which is rocked by the slide 8 against the action of a spring. The ink is transferred from the roller 22 to the distributors 34 by a roller 29 carried by a lever 30, rocked by the reciprocation of the slide 8. The forme 20 is secured in a bed 39 supported in an aperture in the slide 8 on bell-cranks 48 connected by a link 50. Beneath the bed is a bell-crank 45 pivoted to the main frame at 46 and connected by a link 44 to an arm 43 loose on a shaft 42, which is rocked by a toggle 58, 59 to raise the bell-crank 45 on the return stroke of the bed. A roller 47 on the bell-crank thus engages the underside of the bed 39 and lifts the forme 20 into printing position. With the raising of the bed 39, a roller 51, carried by levers 52 pivoted on the shaft 53, is lowered on to the mandrel by links 59 connected to arms 60 fast on the shaft 42. The roller 51 is driven by gearing 55 from a rack on the slide 8. As the slide 8 reaches its rear position, it moves a cut-off 64 to allow another cartridge to fall into the trough 7. After printing, the case is stripped from the mandrel and falls vertically on to the edge of an horizontal disk, rotated slowly by worm gear from the main shaft. At each revolution of the disk, the cartridge case is moved a little nearer the centre by guides depending from a bridge, until finally it falls through an aperture in the centre with the impression quite dry. In a modified delivery shown in Fig. 9, the printed case S descends a shoot 67 on to a table 75 and is thence pushed by a slide 76 into one of a series of grooves 79 in the periphery of an intermittently-rotated drum 80. The cases are thus held by the head until the impression is dry and are ejected from the other end of the grooves.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Testing the Lubricating Properties of Oils and Greases.
Inventor: HISLOP ROBERT CHAMBERLIN
IPC: G01N33/30
Filed: 1912-12-17
Granted: 1913-12-11
Abstract: 29,086. Hislop, R. C. Dec. 17. Testing lubricants.-In a machine for testing the lubricating properties of oils and greases by the motion imparted to a loose member by the friction of a well-greased driven member, rotary and reciprocating testing devices and two recording-cylinders are driven simultaneously from one shaft. In the machine shown in plan in Fig. 1, and in section on the line A B in Fig 2, the main shaft 3 rotates a spindle 1 within loose members 2, reciprocates an adjustable member within a slidable cylinder 35 by means of a shaft 31 and crank 33, and rotates the recording cylinders 52 through the shaft 31, rod 48, train 49, and spindle 51. When the oil or grease has been placed between the testing- members, the pressure of the members 2 on the spindle 1 is adjusted by a system of levers 14 through a plunger 13, spring 10, and a member 7 which is slidable in a spindle 6 and has pivoted arms 8 engaging bell-crank levers 5. The pressure is maintained by screwing-up a nut 21 and releasing the levers 14 so that the movement imparted to the members 2 is transmitted by the members 5, 7 to the spindle 6 and a case 9 against the action of a spring 26, and is recorded by a pencil 54 on a rack 53 engaged by teeth 12 on the lower part of the case. Movement of the cylinder 35 to the right is prevented by racks 42 on fixed uprights, and spring-loaded pawls 41 on bars 40 secured to the lugs 37 by which the cylinder is mounted on bars 36. Motion to the left against springs 38 is recorded by a pencil 60 secured to an arm 59 carried by a nut 58 moved along a threaded spindle 57 rotated by a gearing actuated by a rack on the lugs 37. Gas or steam may be admitted to the cylinder 35 by a pipe 43, an outlet being provided at the other end. The members 1, 2 may be replaced by corresponding members with flat surfaces in contact, and the temperature of the surfaces may be read by a thermometer 62.
