Abstract: 10,364. Brown, J. E. April 28. Spring straining-arrangements.-In a motor controller, the rotation of a main spindle first strains a spring 29 through a crank 12 and links 13, 17, and subsequently lifts a locking- roller out of a notch in a disk carried by a second spindle which is then rotated by the spring through a lever 30, a toothed segment 31, and a pinion. The locking-roller is carried upon a spring-controlled T-lever 19 pivoted on a shaft 15, and is lifted by the engagement of a cam disk 18 upon the main shaft with a second roller 14 also carried by the lever 19. Springs, arrangement of.-When the spring 29 resumes its initial condition, two rods 33, 34 within it abut against each other, thus providing a rigid connexion by which the re-setting thrust is transmitted to the lever 30.

Title: Improvements in Processes for the Production of Oxalic Acid.
IPC: C07C51/02
Filed: 1912-03-15
Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 6466. Marks, E. C. R., [Lidbury, F. A.]. March 15. Oxalic acid is produced by treating an oxalate, such as neutral or acid sodium oxalate, with hydrochloric acid, in such a manner that a chloride such as sodium chloride is precipitated and oxalic acid obtained in solution, from which it can be recovered by cooling, or by evaporation and subsequent crystallization &c. An elevated temperature, preferably about 70‹ C., is most suitable, and the hydrochloric acid is preferably employed concentrated and in excess. The process may be made cyclic by producing from the sodium chloride fresh quantities of caustic soda and hydrochloric acid, and using the former to produce fresh supplies of sodium oxalate.

Abstract: 26,951. Smith, M., and Taylor, Garnett, Evans, & Co. Nov. 23. Bronzing; gripper mechanism.-In a bronzing machine of the kind in which the sheets to be bronzed are carried by a flat belt over a bed above which the applying and polishing rollers are arranged, the belt is fitted with grippers in the form of thin steel or other spring plates secured by their leading edges to the outer surface of the belt in such a manner that their rear edges press against the belt and securely hold the sheets while passing through the machine, the belt being passed over pulleys or curved surfaces at the sheet receiving and delivery positions, and thereby causing the rear ends of the springs to move away from the belts automatically to allow the sheets to be taken or delivered. As shown, grippers H in the form of springs are secured by rivets &c. K and staples K' to a belt C, which, when passed over a pulley D, Fig. 4, causes the rear ends of the grippers H to be above the belt so that sheets mav be fed to the belt in a known manner. The grippers H automatically close on the sheet when they leave the pulley D, and metal protecting-plates may be secured to the belt opposite to the free ends of the grippers. The sheets are stripped from the band as it passes over another pulley after the bronzing has taken place. The belt is provided with perforations C<2> which engage driving teeth, and also permit the passage of air through them.

Abstract: 10,815. Dryvers, U. May 15, 1912, [Convention date]. Player-pianos; winding-mechanism; blowing and exhausting air; treadle devices. - In a player-piano, the take-up roll is mounted upon pivoted arms which can be rotated into a recess in the body of the instrument. As shown in Fig. 1, the music-spool b is mounted in a box a inside the casing of the player-piano. The tunesheet g passes from the spool b over the inclined tracker-bar c to take-up roll d, which is mounted between arms e connected by a bar e<2> and pivoted at e<1> near the tracker-bar. The spool b may be removed from the box a and the arms e and roll d folded into the position shown in dotted lines. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the take-up roll d may be removed from the pivoted arms e, which may then be rotated up or down to a vertical position inside the casing h. The roller k acts as a stop for the roll d. The spindle for driving the spool b or roll d is in alinement with the pivots e<1> of the arms e. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states that the tracker - box may be adapted to be rotated into the casing of the instrument. For instance, the tracker-box can be pivoted on and come forward with the tracker-bar, the tunesheet being wound upside down on the removable take-up roll to avoid an excessive forward movement of the tracker-bar. Alternatively, the two arms of the frame carrying the take-up roll may rotate on vertical axes to enable them to be folded up like shutters. The pneumatic action is arranged above the tracker-box at the top of the player-piano, and is connected to the piano action by two sets of vertical links and a set of levers. A panel carrying the stop for the takeup roll is mounted in front of the piano action, and a sliding-panel is provided in front of the tracker-box. The exhaust-bellows are mounted horizontally beneath the key-board. The folding treadles are pivoted on a bar carried by arms which are pivotally mounted at the bottom of the player-piano. Flexible connexions are provided between the treadles and the bellows. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 12,416. Thomas, G. H. May 28. Spray carburettors.-A carburettor is provided with a safety-device consisting of a rotary plug 16 which normally establishes communication between the fuel-storage tank and the carburettor through a pipe 14, but which opens a waste-outlet from the carburettor to the atmosphere through a pipe 19, if the fuel in the carburettor takes fire, the plug being retained in its normal position against the action of a spring 21 by a lever 20 which rests in contact with a stop 22 constituted or controlled by a fusible element or thermostat. In the form shown, the plug is of the three-way type, and is actuated from the lever 20 through gear-wheels 26, 27, which may be of unequal size. In a modification, separate pipes are provided from the carburettor to the waste outlet and storage tank, and the plug is provided with two passages at right-angles; in this form, the gear-wheels are dispensed with, the lever 20 being connected directly to the plug. The invention is specially applicable for aeroplanes and air-ships, the outlet pipe being placed well to the rear of any part of the machine liable to injury by fire. The lever 20 may be manually operated through a flexible cord &c. for the purpose of re-starting the engine after the accidental fire has been extinguished.

Abstract: 14,343. Parkinson & W. & B. Cowan, and Scott, T. June 20. Gas-meters.-Consists of detail improvements in dry meters. For facilitating oiling of the diaphragm, the diaphragm plates have each a central opening, the inner one of each pair having a projecting screw-threaded part y normally closed by a screw-cap z. The cap adjustably carries pins w engaging slots v carried by a cranked member provided in place of the usual flags and flag arms. The lower end of the cranked member may rest on a ball. The valves are guided by oppositely-cut slots f, Fig. 5, in a member having a recess h receiving the lower pivot of the crank i, Fig. 8, which fits the split end k of the worm shaft, the @t being so tight that after the valves are adjusted the shaft and valves may be removed from the meter for soldering. A gas-tight joint is maintained between the valve chamber and the index box by a ball valve n, Fig. 7, on the shaft of the first pinion, the ball being pressed against its seat by the thrust of the worm drive. The diaphragm rim is shaped as shown in Fig. 9, so that the part 11 soldered to the meter casing is remote from the diaphragm a, which is further protected by a layer 10 of oiled paper or the like.
