Title: Electrical Speed Indicator for Measuring the Speed of Rotating Shafts.
Inventor: LANDI SALVATORE
IPC: G01P3/42
Filed: 1910-03-12
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 6256. Landi, S. March 12. Periodic-counter speed indicators, electrically actuated. Contacts on the revolving shaft energize alternately magnets 12, 12<1>, the armatures of which carry spring- retracted rods 9, 9<1> provided with triangular teeth 10,10<1> as shown in Fig. 1. These engage with similarly toothed loose wheels 5, 6 which are rotated step-by-step in the same direction. Bevel wheels 7, 8 on the wheels 5, 6 engage with a pinion 4 carried by an arm 3 on a shaft 1, the shaft being rotated at the same rate as the wheels 5, 6, and carrying a clutch 14 adapted to be engaged by a second clutch part 15 at predetermined intervals when the circuit of a magnet 12<11> is closed by the clock. The second clutch part is carried by an arm 19, pivoted at 18 and connected at 34 to a second arm 35, and has a sleeve 20 with an -arm 21 provided with projections 22, 23, of which the latter meets a fixed stop 24 when the arm returns to its initial position under the influence of a spring 128, and the former engages a projection 26 on a triangular toothed wheel 25 moving against a spring 28. A projection 27 on the wheel 25 engages a projection 29 on the wheel 31 carrying the index hand 33. Inclined pieces 37, 38 depress detaining pawls 43, 44 into engagement with the wheels 25, 31, the wheel 31 being locked when the clutch is closed and the wheel 25 is being driven. When the clutch is open the wheel 31 is locked while the wheel 25 is returned to zero by its spring. The pawl 44 is adapted to allow the wheel 31 to be moved forward by the projection 27. To prevent the arm 21 from being carried round too far and striking the reverse side of the stop 24, a pivoted piece 91 is arranged in front of the stop to break the circuit and open the clutch. To prevent the wheel 25 from being carried too far forward under successive impulses, springs 93, 94 having teeth are adapted to come into contact when the clutch is closed and to separate when the clutch is opened.

Title: Improvements in Pocket Lighters for Cigars, Cigarettes, or other purposes.
Inventor: HOFMANN GEORG
IPC: F23Q2/08
Filed: 1910-05-28
Granted: 1910-11-10
Abstract: 13,010. Hofmann, G. May 28. Pocket igniters, non-electric. -The invention comprises various improvements in pyrophoric pocket lighters for cigars and cigarettes of the kind in which a friction wheel is turned by the lid opening under the action of a spring, whereby sparks are fed to a wick supplied with combustible material. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the friction wheel 1 is firmly connected with a toothed wheel 3 mounted in a bearing connected with a stud 7 for releasing the lid from a spring catch 8. When the stud 7 is pressed, the lid flies open under the action of a spring 16, the wheel 3 is moved into engagement with a toothed sector 5 mounted on the lid, and sparks are fed from the spark-yielding material 2 on to a wick 12. As shown, the fuelreservoir 9 is arranged so as to be easily withdrawn from the lower end of the casing 10. A spring 13 holds it in position. The helical spring 16 acts on the lid through a rod 15. Apertures may be provided in the side walls of the lid for the insertion of a lever to lift a spring lever provided for feeding the pyrophoric metal 2 against the friction wheel. By this arrangement, the metal piece 2 can be readily removed. As shown in Fig. 6, a one-way ball friction clutch 25, 26 may be arranged between the friction wheel and the hub of the toothed wheel.

Title: Improvements in Power Hack-saws for Cutting Off Bars of Steel or other Metals.
Inventor: HUMPAGE THOMAS
IPC: B23D49/00
Filed: 1912-01-29
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 2241. Humpage, T. Jan. 29. Reciprocating-saw machines. - In a power hack-saw, the saw-frame 1 is provided with two inclined slides 3 engaging with slide blocks 4 on a supporting-arm 2, so that the saw is rocked slightly as it reciprocates. The saw blade is held at one end of the saw-frame by a bolt and at the other by a crank-pin 5. The crank-pin is rotated a half-turn to tension the saw. Two roller steadies 6 are provided for the saw blade, each consisting of a pair of rollers, one of which is mounted on an eccentric pin so as to be adjustable, and is carried by a block sliding in arcuate grooves 9 in the vice jaws concentric with the shaft reciprocating the saw. The supporting-arm 2 is drawn downwards by a spring 10 attached to a pulley 12 over which passes a chain 13 leading from a lever 16 forming part of the arm. The chain passes round a fixed pulley 15 and is anchored to the machine frame at 14, and the lever 16 is positioned so that as the tension of the spring decreases the leverage increases. The tension of the spring is regulated by a screw 11 and the pulley 12 is carried by a screwed rod 17 and is provided with a nut which prevents the rod from moving beyond a certain point at which the saw is nearly through the work. The saw then continues to descend owing to its own weight, the chain becoming slack. On the arm 2 is pivotally mounted a gear case 19 carrying a pinion 21 engaging a rack 22, which is reciprocated continuously by a lever 23 operated by a cam on the crank-shaft reciprocating the saw. A brake drum 24 is attached to the pinion 21, and on the return stroke of the saw, a cam on the crank shaft actuates a rod 27 pressing in a wedge 26 on the end of a band brake 25 surrounding the drum 24. The brake grips the drum and locks the pinion, thus causing the saw to be lifted automatically from the work. A screwed sleeve 29 on the rack 22 can be raised and lowered in contact with the gear case 19 by means of a handle and mitre gearing 30, 31 so as to adjust or sustain the arm carrying the saw-frame at any height.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Machines for Removing Empty and Inserting Full Bobbins in Twist Lace Machine Carriages.
Inventor: JARDINE ERNEST
IPC: D04C5/00
Filed: 1912-03-04
Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 5355. Jardine, E., and Rostance, F. March 4. Bobbins, removing from and inserting into carriages.-Relates to improvements in machines of the type described in Specification 13,690/08 for automatically removing empty bobbins from twistlace machine carriages and inserting full ones. Improved means for feeding the carriages comprises first a magazine constructed in two parts A, B which are staggered, the carriages being admitted from the upper box A to the lower box B by means of a reciprocatory feeding-slide E moving synchronously with the main feeding-slide D. By this means, the number of carriages on the boss B and the pressure on the slide D is kept constant. The goide-plate F screwed to the slide D is extended inwardly so as to hold the head of the carriage, and the carriage is also held down by a spring- pressed arm G working on a vertical pivot on the slide D. On the return movement, the arm G is engaged and held out of the way by the back of the lower boss B until the slide moves a carriage forward. Should a strained or bent carriage remain on the bed and form an obstruction, the next carriage fed, being positively held, removes it without causing damage. Provision is also made for stopping the macaine when the number of bobbins in the bobbin magazine H is reduced to what is found to be the minimum for successful working. A feeler J is carried through the wall of the magazine and is pressed up to the bobbins by a spring J<1>. When the bobbins fall below a certain level, the feeler J is moved inwards and causes a cam part K connected to it by a lever J<2> and link J<3> to move to the left. This cam K acts upon the stop motion described in Specification 8651/04 for stopping the machine when the empty bobbin is not removed from the carriage. To prevent empty bobbins from turning over when falling into the bobbin boxes L, movable false bottoms M pressed upwards by springs are mounted in the boxes. The bobbins then never have sufficiently far to fall to turn over. The weight of the bobbins as they accumulate weighs the false bottom down.
