Title: Improvements in and relating to Meat Slicing Apparatus.
Inventor: SPINK BERNARD JOSEPH
IPC: B26D1/143
Filed: 1910-09-14
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 21,365. Spink, B. J., and Lease, A. Sept. 14. Slicing meat.-Meat-slicing apparatus of the type described in Specification 22,754/09 is fitted with a " mangle-motion " rack for producing the reciprocating movement of the rotary knife, thereby permitting the operating- handle to be rotated continuously in the same direction. Fig. 3 shows one construction in which the knife K is rotated by a handle on the shaft K<1> and is reciprocated by the pinion R<1> engaging the " mangle-motion " rack. The pinion is guided by a projection W<3> engaging an endless groove on the rack plate, which has slotted ends engaging loosely with pins A<1> to permit the necessary lateral motion. In a modified form, a quick-return motion is provided by fitting two unequal pinions on the shaft W<2> and arranging them so that the smaller pinion is in engagement with one rack during the cutting-stroke, and the larger pinion with a second rack during the return stroke. Fig. 7 shows two other modified forms of driving - gear, one having a clutch V interposed between the handle H and the reciprocating gear, and the other for use with an operating hand-wheel mounted at the side of the machine. In the latter case, the handwheel is connected by chain gearing to the sprocket P' on the worm shaft P<2>. The worm is feathered on the shaft so that it remains in gear with the worm-wheel G<1> during the reciprocating movement. To sharpen the knife, the reciprocating table is locked in position at one end of the apparatus, and the knife revolved against an emery-wheel. The gearing for reciprocating the table is thrown out of action by releasing the clutch V or by removing the rack from the machine. The feed-motion for advancing the meat can be thrown out of action by a clutch.

Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 23,899. Albaya y Verd·d, J. Oct. 15. Breech actions, drop-down barrel; muzzleloading.-Relates to drop-down guns, and to muzzle-loading guns, both of the kind in which the barrel slides backwards upon discharge, the energy of recoil being utilized to re-cock the firing-mechanism. According to the present invention, the striker with its spring is arranged immediately above the recoil spring, the striker abutting on recoil directly against the firing-pin. The firing-mechanism comprises a firing - pin L, Figs. 1 and 2, a striker I and spring G and a sear J co-operating with the trigger K. A safety-device M is provided. The barrel B is pivoted to a slide A in the dropdown type, and is formed integral with the slide in the nozzle-loading type. The slide A moves in the stock extension C against a recoil spring D. In operation, the barrel and slide A are moved back by hand when the gun is initially cocked, thus compressing the spring G. When a shot is fired, the recoil energy moves the barrel and slide backwards, and consequently re-cocks the firing-mechanism automatically, the spring D returning the barrel to its forward position.

Title: Improvements in Variable Delivery Pumps for Hydraulic Transmission Sytems.
Inventor: GIBBONS WILLIAM GREGORY
Filed: 1910-12-07
Granted: 1911-10-19
Abstract: 28,425. Gibbons, W. G. Dec. 7. Lever-actuated pumps; stroke, varying; regulating delivery of two combined pumps. - A fluid pump; suitable for use with hydraulic change-speed gear, is fitted with means whereby the delivery may be varied. Two cranks A1, B1, Fig. 2, engage in slotted cross-heads A2, B2, carrying guide - rods A3, B3, A4, B4, which slide in fixed brackets. The guide-rods are pivoted to blocks D, E, which engage in slots in the floating lever F, this being pivoted at its centre to the pump rod F1. The two crankshafts A, B carry similar pinions G, H, gearing with a pinion J, carried at the junction of two toggle-levers. The shaft B is carried by a block which slides in fixed guides H1, so that, on moving the shaft B radially away from the shaft A, the relative phases of the two shafts are altered. The shaft A is directly driven from any convenient power source. The axle of pinion J is connected by links with a lever K1 turning with a shaft S, which also carries two short levers K10, connected by links with the piston-rod K3 of an hydraulic ram K4 connected to the pump delivery by the pipe K5. The ram is loaded by a spiral spring so that as the pressure increases the pinion J is pulled down, thus altering the phase of the shafts A, B and decreasing the pump delivery. Alternatively, the pinion J may be adjusted by hand. In another method, the pin-and-slot mechanism is replaced by cranks and connecting-rods; and in a third modification, the connecting-rods each work an independent pump, the two pumps being interconnected, so that, when the relative phase of the two shafts A, B is altered, part of the liquid circulates from one pump to the other.

Abstract: 11,351. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 10. Master control systems ; systems for continuous - current motors only. - One of the coils of electromagnetically - operated resistance switches is normally in series with the motor armature, and the coils of the remaining switches are successively connected in series with the armature through the contacts of the preceding switch. The starting resistance R<1>, R<2>, R<3>, connected in series with the armature A, is controlled by switches S<1>, S<2>, S<3>, which may be of the type described in Specification 11.349/11 and have operating-coils 2, 4, 5, connected to the movable contacts 1, 7, 8 as shown. When the main switch B is closed, the current flows through the motor armature A, coil 2 of the switch S<1>, and all the resistance. The switch is provided with a device which prevents closure until the armature current has fallen to a safe value. When this has occurred, the switch will close and short-circuit the resistance section R', at the same time completing the circuit of the coil 4. When the current has dropped to the proper value, the coil 4 operates the switch S<2>, which short-circuits the resistance section R<3> and completes the circuit of the coil 5. The coil 2 is de-energized, the switch S' opens, and the switch S' closes to short-circuit all the resistance. The switch S<2> opens, leaving the switch S<3> the only one closed. Should the supply fail, the switch S<3> will open, and all resistance will be thrown in the circuit again.
