Granted: 1898-07-30
Abstract: 20,028. Dymond, G. C., [Soc. Internationale de Meunerie et de Panification (SystÞme Schweitzer)]. Aug. 31. Disc mills for flour. The grooves r, r<1>, r<2> in the grinding-rings, Figs. 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, and 9, increase in depth and diminish in number as they approach the centre ; they are formed by a cutter working on a guide tangential to a circle concentric with the rings, which are themselves rotated, so that their surfaces are parts of hyperboloids. The grinding-rings may each consist of a finely-grooved external ring and an inner preparatory ring of cast metal or other material formed by moulding ; the inner rings may be reversible and may be arranged so that in work the cutting edges advance, whereas the outer rings are arranged, as shown in Figs. 6, 7, and 8, so that the oblique faces advance. In Fig. 14 is shown an arrangement for the independent adjustment of the two parts of the upper stationary ring. The outer ring C<1> is carried by a crown E<1> fitting in a bored part of the casing F, and is adjusted by a number of screws k<1> each of which carries a pinion in gear with a toothed ring G<1> whereby they are compelled to move together. The inner ring C<2> is secured to a cylinder E' adjustable in the crown E' by screws k<2>, pinions upon which are coupled by an internal spur ring G<2>. A similar adjustment is used for rings made in one piece.

Abstract: 20,814. Barbier, N. F. D. Oct. 3. Search-l i g h t s ; reflectors. - Reflectors to produce parallel beams are constructed as lenses silvered on their outer surfaces, and optionally made as rings which may be arranged to form continuous inner surfaces. In one form, the outer surface is spherical and the inner surf a c ellipsoidal. In others, the inner surface is plane, or spherical, as shown in Fig. 5. In another modification, rings have plane inner surfaces, which are not at right-angles to the axis of the mirror. They may be combined with outer unsilvered catadioptric rings U. An electric arc lamp is described in which each carbon-holder is carried by two levers k, k<1>, Fig. 8, which slide in sleeves m, m', carried on axles n, n<1>, and have studs in engagement with curved guide-slots, by which the carbons are caused to move in a straight line. One of the axles is connected with the armature of a motor. The field magnet a of this motor, Fig. 6, is connected between the supply conductors b, and the armature has two opposite windings c, c<1>, either of which may be connected between the mains by a relay, to separate or feed together the carbons. The relay consists of a centrally-pivoted armature f, carrying a contact-arm, normally held central by springs h and the equal action of main and shunt coils d, d', in which position an insulated part l of the central arm short-circuits the armature windings, to stop the motor. If the attraction of either coil d, d' increases, the armature tilts and the arm f makes contact connecting one or other winding, so that the armature turns and the carbons move in the proper direction to start or maintain an arc. The shunt and field coils d<1>, a may be connected in series, between the supply conductors b, b.

Granted: 1899-12-09
Abstract: 21,466. Hurrell, J., and Sturgeon, G. Oct. 27. Traps.-A mouse or rat trap is made with wire spirals a laid on a base-board c, and soldered at one end to a vertical metal plate d, secured to the baseboard, and provided with openings registering with the openings of the spirals, for withdrawal of the vermin, and closed by a shutter f. The opposite ends of the spirals are soldered to a vertical plate i, having corresponding openings into entry passages g, the tops of which are formed of a part i<1> of the plate i bent over, the sides being formed of wooden uprights. The mouse or rat enters the passage g past an easily-moved flap door j, working on a cross-pin l, and held in an inclined position by the hook n of a catch m. When the animal tries to push the door back to escape, the hook n is released, catches the back of the door, and locks it in a vertical position. In a modification, the spirals are replaced by wooden chambers, formed by continuing the wooden uprights of the entry passages and adding a top or cover.

Granted: 1901-04-20
Abstract: 9962. Money, G. W. May 30. Resistances, inductive, for controlling induction motors. An iron core is formed in two parts 1, 2, the outer part 1 being a stationary ring, and the inner part 2 mounted on an axle for rotation. Coils 5, 6 are provided on and recessed in the ring 1, and coils 7, 8 are recessed in the part 2 and arranged to envelope the coils 5, 6 when rotated 90‹. For a two-phase motor with choking-coils in the primary circuits, the coil 5 is joined by a flexible connection in series with the coil 7, so that the current flows round them in opposite directions, and the pair is inserted in one circuit; the coils 6, 8 are similarly connected, and inserted in the other circuit. Variations of the electromotive force at the motor terminals are obtained by varying the positions of the coils, from practically no force in the position shown in Fig. 1, to practically the whole electromotive force when the coils 7, 8 are rotated 90‹. The core may be provided with two such sets of coils, and manipulated by a screw or handle. Another method is to have two sets of cores, each with one pair of coils, and with the movable parts mounted on one axis ; or as many pairs of coils are provided as phases of the primary circuit, all carried by one set of cores, or separately with a fixed and movable core for each pair. The connections of the coils, Fig. 1, and the primary windings of a three-phase motor are shown in Fig. 7.

The chuck for holding the tool spindle 63 is shown in section, Fig. 16. The chuck is an ordinary split cone chuck, but the novelty consists in having a pin 68 which is pushed in to prevent the chuck from rotating while the cone 66 is being screwed up. The chuck for holding the stock is shown in section, Fig. 30. A loose collar 153 is furnished with a number of teeth to be forced into the end of the stock. This collar can be turned to set the stock to the proper angle relatively to the pattern. The stock can also be adjusted longitudinally by screws 161 on the ring 160. When set, the various parts are clamped to the hollow spindle 150 by forcing out the split end of the spindle by a cone 157 on the end of the central spindle 156.

Title: Machine for Encasing Cigarettes and other Articles.
Inventor: ABBOTT AUGUSTUS

Granted: 1901-05-18
Abstract: 5867. Abbott, A. March 20. Parcelling cigarettes &c.-The articles a r e directed from a hopper 20 into a partitioned shoot 31 by a vibrating frame 23 with inclined bars 24, on which they rest. The packet or box blank 35, Figs. 4 and 20, is fed on to an inclined table 43, where its shoulders 45, 46 are arrested by curved stops 44. The table is then turned about a binge at its lower end into a vertical position, and the blank falls until the centre comes opposite the plunger 11. The plunger then moves forward, and forces the cigarettes and blank through a former whereby the blank is folded as shown in Figs. 6, 8, and 10. Paste is applied to the bottom flap 98 by the rollers 97, after the top flaps have been folded down. The packet next enters a revolving box 69, where it first receives a streak of paste from the roller 101, and then, in being inverted, folds the end flaps 105 on to its pasted side. The following packet forces the completelyfolded one into one of the tubes 109 of the drying- cylinder, the box 69 being mounted on springs so that it can move with the entering packet and force the one that has left it clear of its path when revolving. The packets are rushed through the tubes 109 by a plunger as each fresh one is added. The paste box has leather-faced sides 94, which press against rollers, and a tie-bar 91 thins the layer of paste adhering to the rollers. A pawl falls behind the packets, while the former is withdrawn from them. A spring blade makes electric contact with the former, if it should move forward without a packet, and operates an alarm.
