Granted: 1913-03-20
Abstract: 7930. Anderson, W. April 2. Tip-buckets. - Relates to tip-buckets of the kind in which the bucket a is pivoted in slots c in the suspending-bail c and is held upright by catches h when the pivots d are at the bottom of the slots but is free to tip when resting on the ground. In one form of the invention, shown in Fig. 1, the slots e are formed by detachable straps f secured to the bail by a cotter g and wedge g<1>. The bottom b of the bucket is rounded, and stops i are provided between which the catches h on the bail engage. Pivoted catches j on one or both sides of the bucket rim are arranged to engage the bail c and to hold the bucket vertical while loading. In another form, shown in Fig. 4, the bucket is suspended by a chain l, and the trunnion straps f are attached to shackles m. A clamp q secured to the chain has a vertical pin engaging an eve o on the side of the bucket, which is thus held upright when suspended.

Granted: 1912-10-31
Abstract: 10,570. Messinger, L. May 3. [Addition to 16,782/11.] Folding umbrellas; ribs and stretchers.-A folding umbrella or sunshade having ribs of the kind described in the parent Specification, which each comprise a number of sections hinged together and adapted to be held extended by sliding tubular pieces, is arranged so that all the ribs may be simultaneously held extended, the tubular pieces being connected to a sliding piece upon the stick. Fig. 1 shows one construction, part of a folding rib being shown, in which the tubular pieces d are simultaneously pushed over all the hinges c by means of coupling-bars l attached to a slide m on the stick a. By pulling down the slide m before the umbrella is opened, the ribs are held extended, and the umbrella may then be opened by pushing up the slide f attached by the usual stays e to the ribs, the two slides f, m being held by the spring catch g. In a modification, the coupling-bars are dispensed with, and the usual rib-stays are connected directly to the upper tubular pieces on the ribs. The umbrella is opened either by pushing up the slide, in which case the ribs move upwards and are subsequently extended by the outwardly moving tubular pieces, or by first drawing the slide downwardly, when the ribs are extended and held rigid by suitable locking-devices, and then pushing up the slide in the usual manner.

Title: A Method of and Apparatus for Wrapping Articles in Paper or other Flexible Material.
Inventor: WADE HAROLD
IPC: B65B9/213
Filed: 1914-09-08
Granted: 1915-07-08
Abstract: 19,563. Wade, H., [American Wrapping Machine Co.]. Sept. 8. Packeting by wrapping-up. - Relates to a machine for wrapping- up sweets or other small articles into packages with twisted ends. The mechanism is supported by vertical telescopic standards to which platforms 7, 10, Fig. 2, are clamped. The platform 7 forms a race for balls 22 on which a member 1G rotates. The member 16 has a central flanged orifice 19 and carries a pulley 17 for the reception of the belt from the driving- motor. The twisting- mechanism is secured to a cylindrical bed 12 which has an annular flange 13 with a facing 14 of leather. The bed 12 rests on and is rotated frictionally by the member 16 through the medium of the leather facing. A skeleton cylinder 43 secured to the bed 12 is provided with an annular guard member 41 which prevents dust from clogging the ball race. The lower edge of the guard memher 41 closely approaches a cam-ring 37, which rests on the upper edge of a platform 7. By turning the cam-ring 37. the guard ring 41, and therefore the bed 12, is raised, thus separating the surface 14 and the member 16 and stopping the rotation of the bed 12 while the member 16 continues to rotate. The twisters consist of alternate pairs of bars 98, 99 carried by pairs of endless chains 97 which are mounted on the bed 12. The twisters are thus continuously rotated about the axis of the bed 12 and driven in a vertical direction by an annular worm fixed to the platform 7 which drives worm wheels fixed to the shafts of the sprockets driving the chains. The cutting-device also carried by the bed 12 consists of a blade 110 carried between two rotating disks 112, and a second blade 117 pivoted on a shaft 119 and pressed by a spring 118 into contact with the disks 112. The upper platform 10 carries the support 87 for the rolls of paper, paper-tensioning devices 92. and a shoot 74 and tube 52 for feeding the sweets into the paper. Within the tube 52, a second tube 54, Fig. 12, and a plunger 68 reciprocate vertically, the mechanism for operating them being driven by a worm 45, Fig. 2, secured to the upper end of the cylinder 43. The tubes 52 and 54 are slotted to admit a counterbalanced trap 73, Fig. 12, pivoted to the lower end of the feed-shoot 74. In use. the web of paper is wound spirally around the tube 52 and is drawn forward and twisted by the bars 98, 99. The tube 54 projects into the paper tube thus formed. and after a sweet has been pushed downwards by the plunger 68, the tube 54 is raised to allow the twister bars to grip the paper behind the sweet. The tube 54 reciprocates twice as rapidly as the plunger 68. Thus an empty pocket is formed between successive sweets across which the paper is cut to separate the packets.

Commutator and induction motor meters; polyphase meters; registering special quantities. -A meter registering one-third of the voltampere hours less one-third of the watt-hours is used with an ordinary watt-hour meter. A single-phase induction meter for this purpose has a non-inductive resistance connected in the shunt circuit, and adjusted so that the angle of lag between the pressure and the magnetic flux is equal to an agreed power-factor. The arrangement may be adapted for use on threephase circuits. In order to prevent the meter from running backwards when the power-factor is above the specified value, a ratchet device is used. A commutator motor meter having capacities and resistance connected in series with the armature across the circuit may be used; for three-phase circuits, the field coils are connected in one phase, and the armature with an inductance, and a resistance is connected between the other phases.
