Patent GB-191223250-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Refrigerating and like Systems.
Inventor: STOKES FREDERICK WILFRID SCOTT
IPC: F25B1/00
Filed: 1912-10-11
Granted: 1913-09-11
Abstract: 23,250. Stokes, F. W. S. Oct. 11. Actuating.-In a pressure-actuated valve, opening at a given difference of pressure between the two faces of a separating-member subject to spring control, which may be of the form described in Specification 10,721/12, the valve has a sliding valve-tube with V- shaped ports normally maintained raised and closed by a spring. When, however, the difference of pressures upon a central transverse partition in the tube forces the valve downwards against the spring, the ports open. In a modified construction, a solid cylindrical member H, Fig. 3, is arranged with a lift-valve face at its lower end, and is normally pressed downwards into the seating by an adjustable spring H'. When the pressure upon the lower end of the cylinder exceeds that upon the upper end by the prescribed amount, the valve opens as before.

Granted: 1914-02-19
Abstract: 14,707. Walther, H. June 25. Lasting.-A pulling-over machine has each pair of grippers provided with a spring through which the closing of the grippers is effected and also the movement of the corresponding nail driver to insert a tack. The machine is shown in elevation and plan in Figs. 1 and 4 respectively. The last with the upper assembled upon it is held up against a support 46, and the margin of the upper at the sides and toe is inserted in the jaws of grippers 15. The grippers are pivotally mounted on a yoke 10 secured to the standard of the machine, and are adapted to be moved y adjustable rods 55 engaging bell-crank projections 19. The rods 55 are connected at their forward ends to a bail 47, which slides with a foot 49 in a guide on a yoke 14 at the front of the machine. The bail is moved by engagement with a cam-disk 9 splined to the power shaft 6 and having a cam groove engaging with a fixed roll on the frame. Each gripper has a fixed jaw 17, with which co-operates a movable jaw 16 the side of the corresp nding nail-driver 24. The rod 39 is provided between the projection 43 and an adjustable stop on its end, with a spring 41, which is compressed as the nail-driver is retracted. Each nail-driver is retracted by a catch 27, which engages a projection 26 on the driver and is pivotally mounted on a member 29 carried by a rod 30 reciprocated by a cam 7 on the power shaft. In the operation of the machine, after the upper has been inserted between the jaws of the grippers, the machine is started and, through the operation of pivoted on the guide cover 23 of the corresponding nail-driver 24. Each movable jaw is connected through a link 20 and a bell-crank lever 21 to a rod 39, which slides in an opening in a projection 43 on the cam 7, the nail-drivers are retracted and, as the springs 41 are compressed, the jaws of the grippers are closed. The support 46 is also moved outwards with the last, thus pulling over the upper by a cam 8, and as the bail 47 is moved, the grippers are swung inwards over the sole of the boot. Tacks supplied through tubes 25 having been positioned before the drivers and after the grippers have been swung inwards, the catches 27 are tripped, permitting the drivers to be moved by the springs 41 to drive the tacks.

Abstract: 21,170. Haddan, R., [National Cash Register Co.]. Sept. 19. Feeding webs.-A coin-freed ticket-issuing machine is adapted to cut and deliver tickets from a single feed roll, and to print the value (corresponding to the value of the coin inserted) on each ticket. A type-carrier 117 is positioned by hand-operated setting-mechanism through the intermediary of the inserted coin so as to bring the required type into position. The ticket strip 150 is pressed against the typecarrier by a platen 163 mounted in a pivoted platen frame 162 bearing a roller 164 working in a cam-groove 165 on a disk 158 driven from a motor shaft 4; the ticket is simultaneously numbered and dated by mechanism of well known type. A sliding plate 168 connected to the platen frame bears a projection 168<a> which enters a recess 169<a> in a plate 170 integral with the type-carrier, and also a pawl 173 which engages a ratchet 171 and feeds on the inking- ribbon 175. The strip 150 is fed to a delivery hood 166 by the raised portion 167 of a -roller 155 driven from the shaft 4 and co-operating with a roller 158, and is severed by a movable blade 184 which works in conjunction with a fixed blade 185. The movable blade is carried by a spring-controlled arm 191 pivoted to a lever 187 which bears a roller 186 working in the cam-groove 165. Wire clips 192<a> serve to guide the issuing strip, and a clip 192 and a guideplate 192<b> prevent the ticket from falling back into the apparatus.

Abstract: 21,992. Brigg, T. H. Sept. 30. Yokes, neck. - Relates to harness attachments for the poles of wagons, carriages, sleighs, &c., and of the kind described in Specifications 18,666/99, 22,983/00, 19,334 / 03, and 21,611/08. The triangular or other spreader arms, Fig. 3, are connected by various kinds of joints with central couplings a, b which are secured, one above and the other beneath the pole, Fig. 2, in bearings formed by members h, j, Figs. 5 and 6. The rotation of the couplings in their bearings facilitates the initial setting-up of the spreader arms. The couplings may have finger-hooks c, Fig. 2, for attachment to eyelets on the spreader arms. In order to avoid rattling, leather or like washers may be arranged in the spreader-arm joints; in the case of spring washers, the joints can be tightened so as to hold up the arms in normal position and prevent pressure on the horse's withers. A continuous band-clip passed around the end of the pole may provide the bearings for the couplings, and be formed as a leader-hook; or this hook may form the bearing for the front coupling in the absence of the band-clip. According to the Provisional Specification, the rear coupling may comprise a flat bracket bolted to the pole, and the band-clip may be a drop-forging or casting provided with eyelets or other joints.

Abstract: 21,271. Yerger, C. W. Oct. 28, 1913, [Convention date]. Master control systems.-To prevent shocks due to lost motion in the driving gear of elevators &c., the motor A is started through full resistance R, R', R' while a resistance R<3> is shunted across its terminals by wires 23, 24, 25 and a normally closed contactor 6. The invention consists principally in the automaticity of the control, the series resistance being automatically cut out after the movement of the master controller in the accelerating direction has automatically broken the armature shunt circuit. In the first position of the master controller, contacts 11, 12 are joined to complete a circuit through the coil of a switch 2 which closes the main circuit. Resistance is progressively cut out under the control of current relays 7, 8, 9 but as the actuating-circuits of all the operating-coils are interlocked at 30 with the shunt contactor-switch 6, the motor cannot be accelerated until the coil of this switch has been energized. This happens in the second position of the master switch, and the shunt resistance is cut out. On deceleration, the master switch is returned to the first position, restoring the shunt and reinserting the resistances R, R', R<2>, and on braking, in the 'off' position of the master switch, the armature is shorted through the resistance R<3>. The motor has a permanent shunt field F.
