Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 16,054. Honigmann, W. July 9. Flying toys and projectors therefor. - Relates to a toy of the kind in which a parachute carrying a figure is forcibly ejected from a tube. The tube a, Fig. 1, is formed with longitudinal slots h to guide the ends g, Fig. 4, of a pin projecting from a plate d which supports the figure, the lower ends of the slots terminating in horizontal portions in which the ends of the pin can be engaged to lock the plate after compression of the ejecting-spring c. To eject the parachute, the pin f is released from the horizontal slots by the angular movement of a bolt k, Fig. 1, the upturned ends of which work over the slots. The ends g of the pin f form handles for moving the plate to compress the spring. The parachute is collapsed, and. with the figure, is inserted in the tube a and pushed down by means of a rod having at its end a pusher plate.

Abstract: 16,564. Pichard, C. F., and Pichard, E. A. July 19, 1912, [Convention date]. Jet-wheels; working fluid supply.-Relates to explosion turbines, anc consists in utilizing the combustion products in a number of stages during the process of expansion, a proportior of the expansion only taking place at each stage. The turbine comprises a stepped rotoi forming three jet-wheel stages 1, 2, 3, Fig. 1. The explosive mixture is compressed in a pump 14 driven off the shaft 4 and is admitted periodically through rotary valves 9 to the pockets in the rotor 1, where it is ignited. As the rotor 1 rotates, the pockets register with ports 11 which lead to the second stage 2. The products of combustion pass through the ports 11 and expand in the stage 2. A further rotation of the stage 2 enables the products of combustion to escape through ports 12 to the stage 3, whence they escape by way of pipes 13. The valves 9 are driven off the shaft 4 by gearing 19, 20. The stator 6 is provided with a water space 7, and forms a cooling-jacket.

Granted: 1913-12-11
Abstract: 20,826. McNulty, T. J. Sept. 15. Fatty oils, extracting by pressure. In a machine for stripping cloths off oilcakes, the cake b is lifted by a treadle-operated roller 17, so that the cloth a is gripped by stripping- fingers 15 adjustably mounted on a shaft 14. The cloth a, as it is stripped, is wound round the shaft 14 as shown in Fig. 5, the operation being completed as shown in Fig. 6. The roller 17 is carried by a yoke 18 having an arm pivoted to a bracket on a cross-bar 19<a>, a second arm 18<b> being connected by a rod 20 to a treadle 21. To reverse the shaft 14 to unwind the cloths, the shaft 14 is provided with loose pulleys 22, 22<a> with a fast pulley 23 between them, the belts 24, 24<a>, one open and the other crossed, being operated by yokes 25, 26, mounted on an arm 27 connected by a pivoted link 29 and a rod 30 to a pivot 30<a> carrying two bent levers 31, 35, the latter being connected by a weighted lever 34 to a treadle 33. When the treadle 21 is operated, a trip 20<a> on the rod 20 engages the leg 32 of the lever 31, thus moving the belts 24, 24<a> to drive the shaft 14 to strip the cloth a; to unwind the cloth a, the treadle 33 is operated, a weight 34<a> restoring the treadle 33 to its normal position when the unwinding-operation is finished. The rod 27 may be provided with a handle 27<a> in case the belt-operating devices stick. A guard-plate 46 may be mounted above the shaft 14. The stripped cakes are removed by a conveyer.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Wrapping Bodies of Prismatic Form.
Inventor: HILGERS WILHELM
IPC: B65B11/12
Filed: 1913-09-19
Granted: 1914-07-23
Abstract: 21,234. Hilgers, W. Sept. 19. Packeting by wrapping-up. - Relates to a machine for wrapping prismatic articles, particularly those of a soft or sticky nature, in which the packing proceeds from below upwards in a folding station located vertically over the band supplying the articles. The articles are lifted into folding position by grippers 19, Figs. 1 and 5, embracing the feed-band 9, each article as it rises engaging its wrapper 24 and pushing the previously-wrapped article out of the folding station, one wall of which is at that instant pushed back by the return movement of a discharge slide 65 so that the incoming article is only submitted to the weight of the packet above and not to the friction of the walls. Each article is held by the grippers until supported by the longitudinal folder 27. The grippers 19 are normally closed by a spring 25, Fig. 5, and are opened by a toggle-lever 33 operated by a bell-crank lever 32, Figs. 1 and 5, pivoted on one arm of a bell-crank lever 22 which reciprocates a cross-head 20 to which the grippers are connected. On the descent of the grippers, a stop 34, Fig. 5, strikes up the toggle and permits the gripper-closing spring to act. The cam-controlled lever 32 steadies the motion during closing. One of the longitudinal folders 27, Figs. 1 and 5, is formed with extensions forming end folders 41, 42, the three being mounted on a bolt 46, Fig. 1, and adapted to be reciprocated together horizontally by a lever 48 and a cam. The supporting-rods of the folders 41, 42 are also extended beyond the bolt 46 and connected by a bolt 50, Fig. 1, working in a slotted bar 52 rigidly connected to a vertically reciprocated link 51 which thus rocks the folders 41, 42 to fold the ends of the packet as shown in Fig. 9. End folders 55, 56, Fig. 1, next operate to fold the ends as shown in Fig. 10, and the final folding is effected by the packet being pushed by the succeeding one between resilient walls 61, 62, Fig. 5, into position to be engaged by the discharge slide.

Title: Improvements in Internal Combustion Turbines.
Filed: 1913-11-12
Granted: 1914-06-25
Abstract: 25,959. Explosions-Turbine-Studien Ges. Nov. 12, 1912, [Convention date]. Working-fluid supply.- An explosion turbine with periodic combustion comprises a rotor 1, Fig. 1, mounted within a casing in which is formed a combustion chamber 3, Figs. 1 and 2. A nozzle 5 is controlled by a valve 22, the stem 25 of which is connected by a bell-crank lever 32 to the spindle of the fuel-spraying valve 16. The spindle 25 of the valve 22 is fitted with a piston 23 and an adjustable dash-pot 26. The combustion chamber receives scavenging-air from a fan 4 mounted on the turbine shaft by way of an air-chest 13 and check valve 14. The fan 4 also supplies compressed air to the spraying nozzle and valve 16 by way of a pipe 15. The cycle of operations is as follows. Assuming the combustion chamber to be charged, an explosion takes place, the pressure of which, acting on the piston 23, opens the valve 22, thereby admitting the combustion products to the nozzle 5. The movement of the valve 22 is transmitted to the fuel valve 16, thereby closing it. The valve 22 can only close slowly in consequence of the action of the dash-pot. Meanwhile, the pressure in the combustion chamber falls until the air in the chest 13 overcomes the check valve 14 and scavenges the chamber. The valve 22 then closes, and the valve 16 consequently opens, whereupon fresh fuel is sprayed into the combustion chamber and the cycle is repeated. After the first explosion, the combustion is spontaneous.

Abstract: 18,682. Inglis, C. J. Sept. 16, 1913, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Chloridizing. -- Complex sulphide ores are chlorinated in presence of sodium chloride or, if containing much iron are mixed with sodium chloride and subjected to a chlorinating roast, and the product is treated with hot water to extract soluble chlorides. A soluble iodide such as kelp, potassium iodide, or zinc iodide is then added to precipitate silver, gold, and lead iodides which are reduced to the metallic condition by scrap zinc, thus reforming zinc iodide for use again. From the mother liquor, copper is removed by electrolysis or treatment with iron, and the zinc chloride remaining may be electrolyzed to regenerate the chlorine and recover the zinc. The residue of the ore contains the tin which is recovered, for instance by washing, and the bismuth and tellurium are rendered soluble and the solution run off.
