Granted: 1914-07-06
Abstract: 7998. Garsed, J. L. April 5. Steering and balancing. -The longitudinal and lateral balance of a flying- machine is controlled by a single hand-wheel or lever which operates one or more sets of planes through irreversible gearing. Several arrangements of balancing-planes are described. In some cases, the operating-mechanism comprises a tiltable frame A, Fig. 1, and shafts C. Each shaft C is provided with a wormwheel c engaged by a worm c<1> on shafts c<2> mounted in the frame A. The shafts c<2> are rotated in opposite directions by a sbaft D through a train of wheels c<3>. The shaft D is provided with a pinion d engaging a rackbar B. A pinion f<3> on the shaft f<2> of the handwheel f<4> gears with the bar B so that, by the rotation of the wheel f<4>, the rack-bar is moved longitudinally and the shafts C are rotated in opposite directions and locked by the worm-gear c, c<1>. The shaft f<2> is mounted in brackets f<1> on a pinion f<5>, which actuates, through gearing, a shaft f<12>, Fig. 4, provided with a worm f<13> engaging teeth f<14> on the frame A. By raising or lowering the hand-wheel f<4>, the frame A and the shafts C are rotated as a whole about the bar B, and are locked in position by the worm gear f<13>, f<14>. In one arrangement, the shafts C, Fig. 10, are connected by links to balancing-flaps C<10>, and the tiltable frame A is connected by open or crossed cords A<3> to a tail plane C<7>. In another arrangement, the frame A, Fig. 12, is connected by links to shafts A<4> which actuate the planes C<11>, and the shafts C are connected by cords to the parts C<8> of a divided tail. In a further arrangement, the frame A is connected to a pivoted main plane C<12>, Fig. 13, and to the tail plane C<7>, and the shafts C are connected to balancing-flaps C<14> forming part of the main plane. In this last arrangement, the rotation of the hand-wheel f<4>, Fig. 1, moves the balancers C<14> oppositely and raising or lowering of the handwheel moves the plane C<12> and balancers C<14> as a whole and also the tail C<7>. The operating- mechanism may be arranged so that the shaft f<2> is moved axially instead of being tilted. The longitudinal movement of the rack-bar B may serve to operate a rudder. In another form of actuating- mechanism, the arrangement is similar to that shown in Fig. 1 except that the frame A is stationary, and the movement of the pinion f<5> by the raising or lowering oE the hand-wheel f<4> actuates a shaft which may serve to control the longitudinal balancer.

Granted: 1914-10-08
Abstract: 15,729. Taylor, A. M. July 8. [Cognate Application, 16,269/13.] Frequency, changing.-To the combination of choking-coil and working transformer in series described in Specification 8853/11, there is applied a flat or hollow-topped wave of electromotive force with the object of reducing the period covered by the electromotive force in the secondary. The choking-coil is worked with its core unsaturated, and its effect is to develop from the deformed wave a new wave having at least one peak of a duration shorter than the natural period of the source of supply. This new wave is applied to the primary of the transformer and induces in the secondary hightension impulses of short duration and of the same periodicity as the supply. The gaps between the impulses may be filled up and the frequency increased by using a large number of phases 1, 1<1>, 1<11>, &c., Fig. 6, connecting successive pairs of phase terminals by a choking- coil C<2> C<2> and transformer primary T<2> to form a ring, and then connecting the secondaries S<2> in parallel round the ring. The flat or hollow topped wave may be obtained direct from a suitable generator, or by delivering a sine wave to the different phases, as shown in Fig. 6, and obtaining from this a third harmonic by an inductance C' C<1> and transformer T<1>, as described in Specification 8853/11. A harmonic wave of the same frequency is induced in the secondary S<1> of the transformer T<1> and superposed upon the sine wave delivered by the generator, the resulting hollow-topped wave being applied to the choking-coil and transformer as before. This third harmonic boost may, to avoid disturbances due to interactions between the circuits, be applied to the phases of an independent but cophasal supply before application to the frequency-changing apparatus. It may also be applied before or after the subdivision of the phases of supply given by the dynamo.

Abstract: 14,759. Roberts, W. T. B., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. June 19. Sewing-machines; tack-extractors.-In a boot sewing, stapling, nailing or trimming machine, a tack-puller is operated by mechanism which permits the tack-puller to move yieldingly towards the work and causes it to move unyieldingly in the tack-pulling direction. The mechanism is rendered operative at will. The tackpuller B is carried rigidly by a bar C sliding between the cheeks of a frame P and guided by a pin E. The bar C is spherically jointed to a lever G pivoted at G<Î> within a slot H' formed in a rotating shaft H. A recessed bar K embraces a spherical head F<2> of the lever G, and in its normal position the cylindrical portion K<2> of the recess engages the head F<2> and holds the lever G in its axial and inactive position. When the bar K is moved to the right, by a knee-lever gear L, M, N, the conical portion K' of the recess permits the springs G<1> to move the lever G into an eccentric position in which it actuates the tack-puller. Normally the springs G<1> hold the head F<2> against the cone K', but when the tack-puller contacts with the work, the springs G<1> yield until the ball joint F has moved to a position in which it imparts to the tack-puller a movement tangential to the work. The frame P can be turned upon its support so as to carry the tack-pulling device completely out of action.
