Title: A Method of Setting or Adjusting from a Distance through the Medium of Periodic Oscillations of Different Frequency.
Filed: 1912-04-18
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 9181. Huth, Ges., E. F., and Behne, H. April 18, 1911, [Convention date]. Differential speed indicators.-In a system in which an indication or adjustment is obtained at a receiving station by means of a current of definite frequency sent from the transmitting station, one receiving circuit only is used, the natural frequency of this circuit being altered continuously until it coincides with that of the received oscillations. The frequency of the circuit may be varied by rotating the plates of a variable condenser. When the system is used for setting rudders, sight-vanes, &c., the motor which rotates the condenser plates is cut out of circuit by a relay on resonance being obtained. In a signalling system, a Geissler tube in the received circuit is carried round by the motor and lights up on a scale the order corresponding to the frequency employed. Otherwise the indicator might be fixed and the scale movable. A synchronism indicator is obtained by arranging for the two engines to vary continuously the frequency of two circuits, the illumination of the Geissler tube in the receiving circuit then indicating that synchronism exists.

Abstract: 14,964. Stanley, N. M. Oct. 2, 1911, [Convention date]. Materials, special; making compound fabrics. -Metallic letters or figures for attachment to non-metallic surfaces are formed from metallic ribbon by imparting to it a roughened surface, applying adhesive to one side of the ribbon, securing to this side a non-metallic ribbon, applying adhesive to the free side of this non- metallic ribbon, and finally drying and stamping. The ribbon 1 is wound on an open reel 2, Fig. 1, and is subjected first to a cleansing alkaline bath, then washed, and afterwards subjected to an acid bath to produce the roughened surface. The ribbon is washed and dried, and passed over a support 10, Fig. 6, above which is mounted a felt pad 11 in contact with the ribbon, and to which adhesive is supplied from a reservoir above. The coated ribbon is next spirally wound on to another cylinder on which a non-metallic ribbon is also wound so that the two ribbons are secured together. The composite ribbon is then passed over a device similar to that shown in Fig. 6 for applying adhesive. The letters or figures formed from this ribbon are suitable for application to spectacle cases and hats.

Abstract: 15,055. Fischer, R. June 27. Developing; colour photography; plates and films.-The stronger oxidation capacity of exposed halogen silver upon various solutions is used in order to obtain component elements of a colour photograph. In one application for the production of a three-colour screen, a sensitive film is exposed under a line screen onethird of the surface of which is transparent. The exposed film is bathed in indoxyl, producing a blue colouring. A further third of the surface of the sensitive layer is next exposed, and the film is bathed in thioindoxyl, producing a red colouring. The remainder of the surface is then exposed and the film bathed in chlorindoxyl, producing a green colouring. The reduced silver is removed by Farmer's reducer, and any unexposed halogen-silver is removed by a fixing-bath, leaving a transparent screen The process is also applicable for the production of three-colour components in the subtractive process. The positive may be obtained from component negatives or from screen negatives by copying through filters on to panchromatic films, or by copying on to selectively sensitized colour films. The print through the blue filter is developed with pyrogallol, fixed, and the reduced silver removed by a reducer to obtain the yellow component. The print through the green filter is developed with a solution of thioindoxyl carboxylic acid 0À5 grms., potash 5 grms. and water 100 cc. After fixing and removing the reduced silver, this red component is superposed on the yellow component. The print through the red filter is developed with a solution of indoxyl carboxylic acid 0À5 grms.. acetone 0À5 cc., potash 2' grms. and water 100 cc. After fixing and removing the reduced silver, this blue component is superposed on the yellow and red components. Alternatively again, the three positives may be obtained in one operation by the use of three superposed emulsion layers sensitized for the particular colours, and in which the substances necessary for the formation of the colours are incorporated. Intermediate colourless insulating layers are preferably used to prevent diffusion of the colours, and a yellow filter layer is used to reduce the sensitiveness to blue of the red and green layers. In lieu of superposing the emulsions, they may be treated with tannin and mixed together without uniting, forming when coated one homogeneous layer or film.

Abstract: 1511. Grubb, Sir H., Beck, C., and Beck, H. C. Jan. 18. Periscopes.-In a multiple-power periscope, all the optical elements forming the primary image on the graticule are rigidly fixed, and never more than twelve air-glass surfaces are employed. As shown, the graticule is on the face f of the upper prism c, the vertical face of which has a lens front e the curvature of which is such that the rays impinge on the surface c' at less than the critical angle, so that this surface need not be silvered. The radius of curvature of the face e may be equal to the axial thickness of the prism. The two lenses i, j of the ocular are at right - angles to one another with the prism h between them. Rotation of the handle k moves the lenses i, j to give the varying magnification while keeping the ocular in focus on the graticule. There may be two interchangeable lenses so that a higher and lower power eyepiece can be obtained. In a modification, the ocular a is below the prism c, and a solid block with an upper face curved to a radius equal to the thickness of the block is placed in the main tube.

Abstract: 7585. Marks, E. C. R., [Gilman, W. H.]. March 31. Electrical s y s t e m s, automatic ; pyrotechnic signals. - Fusee torches showing red and green signals are fired one by one when two trains occupy a block and when a block so occupied is cleared by one of the trains. A block comprises any three adjacent sections, Fig. 1, each provided with a track battery 3 and two track relays R<2>, R<22>. The track relays at the nearer ends of alternate sections control magnets 4, 5 in the torch apparatus shown in plan in Fig. 3, so that, if trains occupy say sections B, D, the two magnets of the apparatus in section C are de - energized. Either of these magnets, when energized, is sufficient to retain or rock the weighted armature lever 47 which carries two stop-pins so as to engage one of the pins 45, 46 on the spindle 20. These pins are arranged in two sets axially displaced, and at each movement of the lever 47 the spindle 20 is driven a short distance by the weight 25 and draws the chain 23 and a cross-member 43 towards the magnets. Thus, when both magnets 4, 5 are de-energized, the piece 43 pushes the wire loop 31, to which a torch 29 is attached, off a hook formed on a plate 26 and the weight of the torch, which is then supported by conducting-wires 40, 41 on the spring contact 35, closes the circuit through this spring 35 and a fixed contact beneath the same to a soft-iron wire 32 which becomes heated sufficiently to fire the torch showing a red light. When one of the magnets 4, 5 is again energized as one of the trains moves out of the block, the piece 43 releases a green torch 30, which is fired by similar means.

Abstract: 18,674. Bloxam, A. G., [Hollis, O. A.]. Aug. 16. Traction engines.-A tractor particularly designed for drawing agricultural implements over soft ground is constructed with an earth-engaging screw for propulsion, longitudinal earthengaging steering-vanes, power-driven wheels vertically adjustable, and an adjustable propelling and steering wheel. The shaft 13 carrying the screw 14 is driven by the engine 24 through the longitudinal shaft 21 and belt or chain 20. In order to prevent lateral movement of the tractor due to the turning of the screw 14, and to facilitate steering, a series of radial adjusting-vanes is provided at one or both ends. These vanes 18 can be rotated in either direction from the longitudinal shaft 30 driven by the engine. The two wheels 32 are independently adjustable vertically, being mounted on arms movable about the driving-shaft 34. When it is desired to raise the screw 14 and vanes 18 out of contact with the ground, the rear wheels 32 and front wheel 49 are lowered, so as to take the weight of the tractor, the rear wheels being lowered by springs 35 bearing on the ends of the radius arms 33, as shown in Fig. 6. The front wheel is carried by a turntable which can be raised or lowered and is turned for steering by a shaft 59 acting through worm and spur gearing. Driving of the front wheel is effected from the worm shaft 13 through toothed gearing 42 and a bevel-wheel 44 engaging the upper side of a double crown wheel 45, the lower side of which is geared to the axle of the road wheel 49, as shown in Fig. 11.

Abstract: 20,731. Wade, H., [Leeson, J. R.]. Sept. 13. Winding-machines; thread-guides.-Relates to a device which can be applied to standard types of winding-machines, in which the traverse bar reciprocates with a constant length of traverse, for the purpose of shortening the traverse to build a cop or quill with conical ends. The thread-guide is movable along the traverse bar, and is reciprocated with a gradually decreasing length of traverse by a device automatically operated by the growth of the cop &c. The cop-tube z, Fig. 2, is supported between the driving-spindle B and the bearing H, and the yarn is led on to the cop through a guide G mounted on a sleeve on the traverse rod E reciprocated by the cam C<1>. A weighted presser-roll 0, Fig. 3, bears on the cop, and as the cop grows is depressed, and operates a shaft M through a link m<2> and crank-arm m. The shaft M lifts, through an arm R, a slide S in guides in a bracket L. The slide S contains a guide-slot s<5>, in which travels a stud t' supporting one end of an elbow member T, the other end of which is attached to a link K. The link K controls the movement of the sleeve g carrying the thread-guide, and is itself moved by a pin u<5> situated at the elbow of the member T and in engagement with a slot in a bridge-piece U' on a lever U oscillated by the cam C<1>. The lever U is oscillated about an adjustable pivot l<9>, and the position of the pin u<5> is controlled by a spring V. When the pin u<5> and screw g<12>, connecting the link K to the sleeve g, are in the same horizontal plane, the throw of the thread-guide is equal to the traverse of the bar E ; but when, by the growth of the cop, the slide S and consequently the pin u<5> are raised, the throw of the threadguide is restricted at each end. The thread-guide comprises an eye g<9> and notched member g<10>, and is carried by arms g<1> on the sleeve g. A spring g<6>, bearing against a projection g<5> on a collar g<2>, keeps the thread-guide against the cop, and a second projection g<4> on the collar limits the movement towards the cop.

Abstract: 24,575. Petit, V. Oct. 29. Bore-hole apparatus.-In a percussive deepboring apparatus, the drill beam comprises two elements, one element A being connected to the driving-means, and. the other element being composed of two arms B and carrying the drill bar ; the first element is partly inserted between the arms composing the second element, while the free end of each of the two elements bears against the operative end of the other element by means of springs 11, 12 or the like. As the driving-crank descends, the springs 11, 12 are compressed and cause an upward movement of the drill bar ; at the latter part of the downward movement of the crank, the springs extend and throw the arms B upwards until they are stopped by contact of plates 1, 8 with the beam element A. The drill 44 continues its upward movement, owing to the provision of a sliding joint 43, and so has an increased stroke ; during this excess movement, the bore-hole is flushed, the sliding joint 43 forming a pump. The springs 11, 12 may be maintained compressed during the whole of the downward movement of the driving-crank, by the engagement with the plate 8 of projections 38, 39 on spring-pressed pivoted levers 34, 35 carried by the beam element A ; at the end of the downward movement of the crank, a roller 40 carried by stationary bars 41 forces the levers 34, 35 apart and causes the plate 8 to be released. In a modification, Fig. 4, the spring 12 is replaced by a piston and cylinder 56, and at the end of the downward movement of the driving- crank, a stationary stop 49 engages a spring- pressed valve-rod 50 and causes pressure fluid to be admitted to the cylinder to cause the arms B to be suddenly oscillated.

Abstract: 28,815. Ruck, R. M. Dec. 13. Relay or power apparatus; controlling different functions by same lever.-Means for operating variable-speed gearing in which the movements are caused to take place automatically in proper sequence are combined with means for operating the throttle of the engine or other device for controlling the power supply, so that substantial approximation may be brought about between the forces transmitted or speeds attained by the gear members which are brought into mutual engagement. The shaft a, which is the gear-operating shaft of the arrangement described in Specification 14,010/13, is driven by the engine and has a cam b sliding thereon. The cam b is adapted to engage a plunger e when this is thrust into its path, and to be moved thereby so as to disengage a driving-clutch before the gear is changed. Shafts h, j are unlocked by hand and then oscillated by the power of the engine when the operations of ' gearing-up ' and ' gearing-down ' respectively are to be brought about. At each oscillation of either of these shafts the plunger e is depressed and the driving-clutch disengaged by means of fingers h<1>, j<1>. It is important that the throttle should be operated during gearing- down, and a wire l extends from an arm k of the shaft j over a pulley m to the throttle or like device. Specification 13,079/10, [Class 80(ii), Gearing, Variable-speed &c.], also is referred to.
