Title: Improvements in and relating to Flying Machines with Automatic Stabilizing Devices.
Inventor: BENOIS NICOLAS
IPC: B64C1/00
Filed: 1913-07-24
Granted: 1914-07-24
Abstract: 17,034. Benois, N. July 24. Planes, arrangement and construction of; balancing, automatically. -Each separate plane of a flying-machine is provided with a device whereby its lift is maintained constant during flight. In one arrangement, the plane Y, Fig. 2, is secured to uprights D, D<1> connected by parallel links O, O<11>, O<1>, O<111> to the body of the machine. The outer parts Z, Z<1> of the plane are pivoted on axes Y<1> and connected at their front ends by rods Q to the frame. The plane is controlled by a cable F the tension of which is maintained constant. When the pressure on the plane increases, it is moved upwards against the action of the cable F, and the rods Q decrease the incidence of the parts Z, Z<1>. The cable F passes around a drum d mounted eccentrically on the pivots L and provided with sheaves d<1> arranged concentrically with the pivots. Cords F<1> connected at one end to a spring M pass around and are secured to the sheaves d'. The parts of the drum are arranged so that the tension on the cable F is constant for all tensions of the spring M. In a modification, the links O<1>, O<111> diverge rearwardly, so that as the plane rises, its incidence decreases. The side planes Z, Z<1> are in this case dispensed with. In another form, the links O, O<1>, Fig. 5, are provided with sliding collars P to which the springs M are attached. The collars are attached to the frame of the machine by wires t in such a manner that the collars P are moved nearer to the pivots E, E<1> as the plane rises. The plane may be fixed to uprights arranged to slide vertically in guides under the control of the constant-tension member. Each main plane of the aeroplane is in two parts, pivoted along their front edge, and each part is provided with a constant-tension cable attached at its centre of pressure. In another form, the ribs y, Fig. 11, of the main plane are hinged to the front spar y<11> and a spring M is connected to each rib at its centre of pressure. As the rib rises, the leverage of the spring decreases, as shown in Fig. 12, so that its moment is maintained constant.

Abstract: 9699. Northampton Machinery Co., Collier, J. V., and Edwards. A. W. April 20. Breastiny. - In heelbreasting machines havi n g a reciprocating knife, the table 4 is inclined to the horizontal, so that the heels when breasted slide off it by gravity; the table is also provided with adjustable side stops 36 and with an adjustable automatically - operated breast-gauge 47. The breasting-knife 14 is adjustably secured to the slide 15 by clamping- screws 25, adjustment being effected by the screw 23, and the slide is reciprocated to actuate the knife by a crank-pin 17 operated through bevel-gearing 22 &c. from the power shaft 21. The knife-holder carries a spring- mounted rod 33, preferably having a serrated or roughened end 35, which serves to clamp the heel 32 on the table 4 during the breasting operation. The table 4 is pivoted at 5, and its inclination is adjustable by means of the nut 9, which engages the screwed rod 6 connected to an arm 7 on the table. The breast-gauge 47 is pivoted at 54 and is provided with a pin 55 engaging in a slot 56 in a link 48 connected to the slide 15. It is also connected to a snapover spring 57, by which it is held both in its operative and inoperative positions, its movement to and from these positions being effected bv the link 48. A screw stop 59 &c, is provided for adjusting the operative position of the gauge. The side stops 36 are preferably mounted on pivoted arms 37 and project through curved slots in the table, the arms 37 being geared together by segmental pinions and being connected to a spring which tends to draw the stops towards each other. One of the arms is engaged by nut 43, which can be moved by the screwed rod 46<a> to adjust the position of the stops. A draw-rod 50, which is coupled at 49 to the rod 46<a>, is provided with a bracket 52 carrying a roller 53 adapted to engage a camsurface 48<1> on the link 48. On the downward movement of the knife, the cam 48<1> moves the nut 43, against the action of the spring 45, to permit the stops 36 to engage the sides of the heel. On the reverse movement, the spring 45 forces back the nut and opens the stops for the insertion of the next heel. The machine is preferably provided with a one-revolution clutch, which may be of any suitable type.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Wrapping Small Articles.
Inventor: AUGUST JOHANNES ROBERT CARL

Granted: 1915-07-01
Abstract: 15,879. August, J. R. C., and Henderson, J. E. July 2. Packeting by wrapping-up.-Small articles, such as pieces of toffee, are wrapped, and the ends of the wrapper twisted, by passing the article and paper between endless travelling belts. Each article 3, Fig. 1, is pushed by a plunger 35 from the bottom of a shoot 34 into a sheet of paper 4 fed vertically through guides 37. The motion of the plunger cuts the paper web through parts 51, 54. The article and paper pass between the closely-superposed elastic belts 1, the upper of which is at first stationary. The swelling produced in the lower belt closes an electrical contact 7, 8, which, through solenoids 11, Fig. 2, causes the jaws 12, 15 at each side to grip the ends of the wrapper, while the upper belt then moves oppositely to the lower and so twists the ends. The upper belt is put into gear through the action of an electromagnet 17 with an interrupted commutator, which shortly stops the upper belt while the lower belt acts to discharge the article. According to the Provisional Specification, the ends of the wrapper may be held, during twisting. between the edges of polygonal wheels operated by mechanical gearing. The articles are fed from a hopper 27, Fig. 5, arranged over a travelling belt 22 with compartments. A wheel 31 with arms 32 throws back articles not lying wholly in the compartments, and the remainder are kept in place by a curved guide 33 until they arrive over the shoot 34. Several of the machines may be grouped together, in which case the hoppers 27 are supplied from a conveyer belt 59, Fig. 7, immediately over which are arranged deflecting-boards 60 of increasing length so as to divert uniform charges.

Hand-levers and hand-gearing, interlocking. -For " special " or " conditional " locking, locks are moved by means of a pair of rockers abutting against each other and pivoted to locking-rods, locks, or fixed parts as required. One arrangement is shown in Fig. 4, in which rockers 5, 6 are pivoted on locks 9, 8 and abut at the point 5<c>. The free ends of the rockers bear against the ends of locking-rods 13, 14 fast on locks 7, 10. By this means, the tappet 1 is released by either tappet 2, 3, or 4. If tappets 2, 3 remain in the position shown, and tappet 4 is moved, then the rockers turn about their pivots, which remain unmoved when tappet 1 is moved. If tappet 4 remains stationary, and tappet 3 is moved, then the rocker 6 turns about its free end as a fixed abutment and moves the lock 8 to hold the tappet 3.
