Inventor: BRANDT PIERRE
Filed: 1908-10-01
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 20,728. Brandt, P. Oct. 1. Recoil apparatus. -A flexible-sleeve packing for use with compressors for storing the energy of recoil is held in position by the friction between the sleeve and the members of the apparatus co-operating therewith ; or is attached by an adhesive to prevent separation when the apparatus is inactive. For high pressures a series of rolling sleeves 1, Fig. 7, are employed, the total pressures being divided between the several sleeves. To determine the pressure differences between the sleeves, a distributor 15 and a regulator 16 are used. The distributor, as shown in Fig. 8, consists of a number of casings 27, each provided with a spring-pressed non-return valve 30, and a perforated adjusting-disk 32. The casings are mounted in a shell 35 and are connected by the pipes 18 to the spaces between the sleeves and by the pipes 18<1> to the regulator. This comprises a similar series of valves to the distributor but opening in a reverse way to the valves 30, the springs acting on the regulator valves being weak while those acting on the distributor valves are strong. The distributor and regulator are both connected to the pressure supply pipe 14, the former determining the time at which the several sleeves become operative, while the latter equalizes small differences of pressure between the various sleeves. Nipples 19 are provided for pressure gauges.

Title: Improvements in Numbering Machines.
Inventor: HOLLINGSWORTH SAMUEL
IPC: B41K3/12
Filed: 1910-03-12
Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 6295. Hollingsworth, S. March 12. Number-printing apparatus.-Relates to numbering-machines particularly for use in the manufacture of manifolding counter-check books and sales or memorandum books, by which consecutive numbers or characters are printed upon a continuous web of paper and repeated indefinitely, of the kind in which the arbors carrying the numbering-wheels are arranged in sets with the arbors of each set alternating with those of the other set. The invention consists in so mounting the sets of arbors that the members of each set can be simultaneously adjusted circumferentially by means of their support independently of the other sets. Fig. 1 shows a machine with three sets of arbors, the arbors of each set being mounted in bearing arms 7 carried by pairs of rings 5 which are circumferentially adjustable upon wheels 3 mounted upon the actuating shaft 4. The arms 7 of the outer and inner rings are bent towards the middle ring to bring all the bearings in circumferential alinement so that the arbors are of the same length and interchangeable. The bearings at one end of the arbors are of the same diameter as the arbors to allow the latter to be readily withdrawn. The opposite ends of the arbors are fitted into arbor-ends 15, Fig. 3, journaled in the arms 7. To allow of ready longitudinal adjustment of the numbering-disks 9 upon the arbors each disk is provided with a key slidable in a slot 10, Fig. 3, in the arbor and held in place by a spring 13 which grips the opposite sides of the key. The means for rotating the arbors is shown in Figs. 3 and 4. The arbor ends 15 exteud outwards and have reduced portions 17, 18. A block 19, fixed upon the portion 18, carries a number of slidable pins 20, the inner ends of which are grooved to engage a cam 22 upon a sleeve 23, which is mounted upon the part 17 of the arbor end and is fixed to the bearing arm 7 by a plate 25 which engages one or other of two diametrically opposite notches 24 in the sleeve 23. The outer ends of the pins 20 project into the path of a stationary spiral arm 26 carried by a spider adjustably mounted upon the side frame of the machine. During each revolution of the shaft 4, the block 19 revolves upon its axis a distance equal to that between the centres of two consecutive pins 20 to bring the next numeral upon the numbering-disk into printing position, and the cam 22 causes the pins to be successively projected into the path of the spiral cam 26. The direction of rotation of the arbors may be reversed by turning the sleeve 23 until the plate 25 engages the opposite notch 24, so that the pins 20 upon the opposite side of the block 19 engage the cam 26. An additional set of arbors may be provided if necessary, being carried in slotted brackets 32, Fig. 5, fixed to the arms 7 of the central rings 5 by screws 34.

Inventor: CAMPBELL ROBERT HUNTER
IPC: F16K17/16
Filed: 1910-04-29
Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 10,609. Campbell, R. H. April 29. Pressure - relieving devices f o r fluids; lift valves. - Containers cr cylinders of comparatively large capacity for compressed or liquefied gas are provided with a plug containing a loose washer or cap acting as a closure and safety valve, the projecting part of the plug being screw-threaded so that a single perforating and drawing - off device with a renewable perforator and valve face may be applied to a number of containers. The container 1 is provided with an externally screw-threaded plug 3 fitted with a loose washer or cap 4, which is shaped so that it allows gas to pass over, round, and under it while the container is being charged, after which it is compressed by a screwed piece 6 so as to form a gas-tight closure. Fig. 2 shows a perforating and drawing-off device having a renewable piercer 18 and valve seat 24 applied to a container. The piercer is confined within the valve stem by a screw 21, and the valve and piercer are operated by a hand-wheel 23 in the usual way, so that the valve and stem do not rotate. After the washer has been perforated, the piercer and valve are raised and the gas escapes round the stem of the piercer. Specification 16,330/09, [Class 8(ii), Air and gases, Treating &c.], is referred to.
Patent GB-191011722-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Devices for Lighting and Extinguishing Gas Burners Automatically.
IPC: F23Q9/02
Filed: 1910-05-11
Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 11,722. Compagnie pour la Fabrication des Compteurs et Materiel d'Usines Ó Gaz. May 13, 1909, [Convention date]. Liquid seal valves; actuating valves.-Relates to a device actuated by clock-work for automatically lighting and extinguishing gas burners at a predetermined time. The gas valve consists of a liquid seal 8 adapted to close the end of the gas pipe 10, the seal being effected by the rotation of a plunger 29 operated by a wheel 21 which is given a periodic movement of a quarter revolution. The hour disk 11, operated by a spring 45, drives two adjustable hands 12, 13 which carry tappets 16, 17. A double lever 19 pivoted at 44 carries two tappets 22, 23, the tappet 22 being so placed that when the lever is raised it comes into the path of a pin 24 carried by a fly - wheel 25 operated by a spring 20. The tappet 23, when the lever 19 is lowered, comes into the path of four pins 26 carried by a wheel 27 engaging with the pinion of the fly-wheel 25. The operation of the mechanism is as follows: As the disk 11 rotates, one of the tappets 16, 17 comes into contact with the lever 19 and raises it thereby disengaging one of the pins 26 on the wheel 27 from the tappet 23. The wheel 27 is thus set free to rotate under the influence of the spring 20. The fly-wheel 25 also rotates and brings the pin 24 into contact with the tappet 22, thus stopping the rotation of the wheel 21. As the disk 11 continues to rotate, the arm 18 of the lever 19 is released and returns to its original position. The pin 24 is then disengaged from the tappet 22, and the next pin 26 of the wheel 27 comes into contact with the tappet 23 and keeps the wheels stationary. The movements in the above operation are so calculated that the wheel 21 is given a rotation of a quarter of a revolution. Instead of the plunger 29, a cam-actuated bell dipping into liquid may be employed. The bell is provided with a perforated partition and surrounds the inlet and outlet gas pipes. When the bell is raised gas can flow from the inlet to the outlet pipe through the hole in the partition, which is sealed by the liquid when the bell is lowered.

Abstract: 19,601. Caille, E. C. G. Aug. 23, 1909, [Convention date]. [Addition to 15,050/08.] Colour photography, screen processes for. - Relates to modifications of the process described in the parent Specification for producing a colour picture on a support bearing a screen pattern. In lieu of coating the screen paper or support with silver-bromide emulsion, a bichromated gelatine film is used pigmented with a white pigment. After exposure through a positive obtained from a screen negative, the unexposed parts of the picture are washed away with hot water, leaving a white deposit of graduated thickness. The picture is represented by the colours that are seen on the support. In lieu of a white pigmented gelatine, a clear bichromated gelatine emulsion can be used, and, after exposure and development with hot water, the support is dipped successively into reagents which react to form a white insoluble precipitate in the hardened gelatine. Successive baths of oxalic acid or ammonium oxalate and of calcium nitrate, or successive baths of barium chloride and sodium sulphate, may be used. In a further modification, a clear bichromated gelatine emulsion is used and is exposed under a screen negative. The support is then dipped successively into the reagents, which readily react to form a white precipitate in the unexposed and unhardened gelatine before the baths have had time to affect the hardened gelatine.
