Title: Improvements in Slasher Sizing Machines.
IPC: D06B3/04
Filed: 1910-02-03
Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 2701. Blackburn Loom and Weaving Machinery Making Co., and Ratcliffe, J. Feb. 3. Yarns, beaming.-The beaming-apparatus of slasher sizing-machines, in order to prevent the expansion of the usual expansible pressure roller after the beam has attained its full diameter, is provided with a pair of spring flaps or stoppieces, each hinged or pivoted on a sliding rack or equivalent adjustable slide, which are capable of being set and held at any desired distance apart by spring clicks or catches. For example, each flap k has a flattened pivot k<2> turning between two springs l carried at the outer extremity of the slide h. One spring has its end l<1> turned over and a spring buffer n is provided so as to hold the flap either up or down out of the way. Or the flap might be arranged to swivel out of the way. The slide h is held in the proper position, to correspond to the effective length of the filled beam a and limit correspondingly the expansible roller c, by a spring catch i pivoted to the bracket g of the anti-friction roller and held normally in engagement with the teeth of a.rack r on the slide h by a spring j.

Title: Improvements in Electric Switches.
IPC: H01H9/10
Filed: 1910-10-28
Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 25,076. Spagnoletti, Ltd., and Joyce, V. E. Oct. 28. Switches, quickaction.-The movement o f a switch arm is retarded, both in opening and closing the switch, until the spring that produces the rapid action has been sufficiently strained, by a spring-pressed ball 8 or other spring-actuated retaining-device located in or on the bracket 5 carrying the spindle 3 upon which the switch arm 2 and its operating-handle 1 turn; the ball &c. engages face recesses 9, 10 in extensions 4 of the switch arm 2 when the switch is in the ' on ' or the off position. The spring 11 producing the rapid action is arranged between the bracket 12 and the hooked extension 13, which is rigid with the switch handle. To open the switch, the spring 11 is strained until it is sufficiently powerful to force the balls 8 against the action of the plate springs 7 into the holes in the bracket 5, whereupon a quick break results. The switch arm may carry a fusible cut-out mounted in clips upon it and adapted to bridge the fixed contacts.

Title: Method of and Apparatus for Eliminating Vibration in Ships.
IPC: B63H23/34
Filed: 1910-11-09
Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 26,098. Stettiner Maschinenbau-Akt.- Ges. Vulcan. Dec. 31, 1909, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Vibration, preventing. - Unbalanced forces due to the ship's propelling-apparatus are counteracted by arranging movable masses at suitable places in the ship, which act in opposition to the vibration impulses, mainly set up by the action of the propellers on the water. In one method, unbalanced masses are mounted on a wheel, driven by transmission gear from the propeller shaft. The gear ratio between the propeller shaft and countershaft is in proportion to the number of revolutions of the propeller shaft or to the number of revolutions of the propeller shaft multiplied by the number of blades. Unequal weights situated in the same plane, or a single weight having a centre of gravity corresponding to the centre of gravity of the several weights, may be used. If it be desired to produce a moment relatively to the bearings of the countershaft, the weights are situated in different planes. Reciprocating masses may be used in place of rotating masses. The apparatus is preferably mounted at the highest point of an arc of oscillation.

Filed: 1910-11-15
Granted: 1911-06-15
Abstract: 26,537. Gosch, O. Nov. 15, 1909, [Convention date]. Sale apparatus.-Post cards, lettercards, envelopes, and similar articles are held singly between slotted plates 4, which are carried by a pair of inclined rods 3 rigidly secured to arms 2 attached to a central post 1. There may be several sets of these plates each similarly supported and provided with a separate coin mechanism. Delivery mechanism.-The foremost plate of any series is supported by the engagement of a projection 6 on one of the rods 3, and of a projection 7 on a frame 12 carried by the post 1. When a coin is inserted, a spindle 11 is rotated, and a cam 18 on a member 14 carried by the spindle engages the extremity of the foremost plate and moves it laterally, so as to free the hook 16 from the projection 7 and to bring the enlarged portion 9 of the slots into engagement with the rods 3 and free the plate. The plate thereupon slips down the rods to a stop 8, and the post card or other article is guided by a plate 28 to the delivery aperture. Empty machines, locking.-The hook 16 of the last plate 4 is bent, as shown in Fig. 5, and serves to prevent the return of the cam 18 after the release of the last plate but one. Coin action, weight. - The inserted coin 19 falls into a slot 20 of a counterweighted lever 21, which is mounted on the spindle 11, depressing the lever and rotating the spindle and finally escaping into a shoot 24, permitting the counterweight 23 to return the lever and spindle.

Abstract: 30,252. Grove, J. Dec. 30. Spray carburettors.-The mixture pipe 20 and the fuel inlet 6 are angularly adjustable around the cylindrical body 2, within which is the sliding throttle valve 22. The sprayer has a partly conical and partly threaded bottom 9 to engage the lower part of the body 2, and is adapted to deliver a sheet of fuel from between the fixed and adjustable disks 12, 14. The fuel may also be controlled by a needle 15. The fuel is sprayed on to a replaceable cone 25 slidable in but normally fixed relatively to the valve 22. The air inlet 3 and the mixture ports 23 are simultaneously controlled. In the lowest position of the cone 25 air can pass through the " breathing spaces " 37 and the small quantity of mixture produced through the extensions 39 of the ports 23, but if the valve 22 is further depressed, the mixture ports will be closed and air for braking or other purposes allowed to pass through the holes 33 and the ports 18. A spring 28 and collars 30, 40 return the valve 22 and cone 25 to their normal relative positions. A baffle 21 and a hand-operated throttle valve 38 are placed in the mixture passage.

Abstract: 680. Sandycroft Foundry Co., and Dutton, T. M. Jan. 10. Cases; pneumatic actuation. -Electric switches for employment in mines or other places where there may be danger of explosion are enclosed in casings to which is supplied air or other gas under pressure of about four atmospheres, and each of the switch casings forming passages for the compressed gas contains a member acted upon by the compressed gas and adapted when the pressure falls to actuate the switch gear to open the switch. The switch gear is enclosed in a casing m, the cables to which pass through pipes n, o. Air under pressure passes from the pipe n to the casing -m through a branch pipe y in which is arranged a cock z. The switch is operated from outside by a handle w connected to the switch through a rule-jointed link v and an elbow lever t pivoted at u. In a casing 6 is arranged a piston 8, the air pressure on which is balanced by a spring 5. Should the air pressure fall below a predetermined value the rulejoint v is pressed upwards by the link 13, thereby permitting the switch r to open. The switch can be reclosed by pulling out the switch lever wand pressing it in again. The piston 8 might be arranged to release the catch x and allow the handle w to fly back under the action of a spring.
