Abstract: 11,319. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. May 13. Punching; punches; embossing.-In an apparatus for stamping, punching, or notching metal plates, disks, or laminae for dynamoelectric machinery &c., in which two or more dies or punches of different lengths are carried by one and the same plunger the motion of the plunger relatively to the plate is rapidly altered so that notches or recesses of different forms and positions may be formed in any desired sequence. The plunger may in one form carry only dies for producing indentations or impress ions of different depths in the plate or sheet. A disk shown in Fig. 1 for use in making the rotor of a dynamo may be provided simultaneously with notches n for receiving the windings, and holes k<1>, k<2> for forming cooling or ventilating channels by means of a plunger which carries three punches sn, sk<1>, sk<2> of different lengths. The depression of the plunger in relation to the work is varied by varying the position of the stroke thereof or by varying the stroke. In a form of machine shown in Fig. 3, which is provided with punches sk, sn, for forming cooling channels and notches in a disk, the connecting-rod p is formed with a sheath b mounted on an eccentric disk e on the crank-pin z, the disk having a slotted connexion a with a link l and hand-lever h for altering the position of the stroke. This may also be effected automatically by a suitable rotary part such as a cam-disk engaging the lever h or equivalent part. The work is mounted on a table having a step-by-step rotation.

Abstract: 13,265. Larsen, N. D. Nov. 10, 1911, [Convention date]. Traps.-In order to prevent the escape of fish from bays &c., two wires connected to a source of electrical energy are stretched across the mouth of the bay &c., and bare wires depend from them into the water. It is stated that the resulting discharge in the water effectually prevents the fish from escaping. The two wires may be placed on the bed of the bay &c., in which case floats are attached to the bare wires to keep them vertical, or in shallow water the vertical wires may be omitted. By placing the wires obliquely, the fish may be guided into shallow water. The wires may be stationary or movable; in the latter case, their ends are carried by boats which also carry the source of electrical energy.

Abstract: 1976. Mathern, A. Jan. 24. Tyres, elastic, special apparatus for making. -In a machine for making pneumatic tyre covers, of the kind in which coated fabric is stretched on a. convex drum 24 and delivered and cemented on to a rotating forming-ring 16, the material is smoothed by spring-pressed rollers 25 carried by an arm 26 pivoted eccentrically to the forming-ring and oscillated by a crank 28 so as to cause the rollers to travel over a curved path 29 on the surface of the forming- ring. The machine carries a cross 30, Figs. 2 and 5, movable along the shaft 2 of the forming- ring and adapted to receive a ring 31, Fig. 9, forming a centring-gauge for the tyre beads, a detachable outer ring 32 being connected to the inner ring by spring or other hooks 34. The cross 30 may have a pin adapted to engage a recess or a rack 37* in the shaft 2, and the hook member on the cross may be adjusted by a nut as shown in Fig. 9. The forming-ring 16 is driven from a step-pulley 11 through bevelwheels 12, 13 and worm and a worm-wheel 14 during the operation of cementing on the material, the drum 24 being driven at a slightly reduced speed so as to stretch the material.
