Abstract: 11,223. Symons, E. B. May 9. Disk and like mills; mills and apparatus. - In a crushing - machine comprising opposed rotating crushing - disks B, B<1> oblique to each other and mounted upon shafts A, A<8> one within the other, the inner shaft A<8> is gyrated and the disks caused to approach and recede from one another by means independent of the outer shaft A. An eccentric sleeve A<14> driven by a pulley A<15> rotates within a fixed bearing-sleeve A<13> and about a sleeve A<10> on the end of the inner shaft A<8>. The sleeve A<10> is held by a nut A<11> against a spherical surface A<12> at the end of the shaft A, which is drawn about the same centre as the spherical lining A<7> of the bowlshaped member A<5> at the opposite end of the shaft A.

Abstract: 17,593. Anness, E. G. Feb. 2, 1912. Terminals. - A terminal for electric fuses, telephones, &c. comprises a metal plug c with a neck i and a screw-threaded hole d, a longitudinal groove or slot g extending along one side of the hole. The wire is placed in the groove in the plug and passed through the slot in the neck at k. The wire end is then wound round the neck and clamped against the plug c by a flange on the head of a binding- screw, or, as shown, by a lock-nut h thereon. Fusible cut-outs.-As applied to a cartridge fuse, the tab or clip contacts f may be integral with the binding- screws, or the tabs may be separate and held by the binding-screws, the wire ends being pressed between the plugs and the underface of the tabs. In a modification, the plugs extend beyond the tube b of the fuse and serve for contact with spring fingers, the wire ends being clamped by a screw and a lock-nut; or the plugs may have laterallyextending flat tabs passing through slots in the tube. In order to ascertain the condition of the fuse wire, a ring m is pivotally mounted in the tube so as to surround the wire; if the wire is intact, the ring cannot be completely turned. The tube b may contain sand, or a loose asbestos tube may be placed around the fuse wire in the outer tube, this inner tube tending to create or direct a current of air round its ends when the fuse blows.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Excess Current Switches.
IPC: H01H71/44
Filed: 1911-08-30
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 19,392. Felten & Guilleaume Carlswerk Akt.-Ges., (formerly Felten and Guilleaume - Lahmeyerwerke Akt.-Ges.). Aug. 30, 1910, [Convention date]. Automatic circuit-breakers; time-limit devices. -A time - limit device for overload circuitbreakers is adapted for two different kinds of operation by different mechanical couplings between the movable armature and the retarding-mechanism, a rigid coupling giving a time dependent on the amount of excess current and a spring coupling a time independent of it. The Figure shows a device mounted upon an oil - switch insulator a. The overload coil b attracts an armature e which is coupled to a pivoted toothed sector h, a train of wheels, and a retarding-vane. To make the coupling rigid, a screw g is inserted into a lug behind the arm of the sector, otherwise the coupling is effected by a spring f. After a certain travel of the sector, the end of a pivoted bar i is withdrawn from a spring-seated stop-lever k, and the retarding-train, which is mounted on a frame pivoted on the same axis p as the sector h, is then free to turn as a whole so as to displace a link n and release the latch r of the circuit breaker. The spring seating of the lever k yields, if the overload exceeds a certain limit, so that the circuit breaker is released at once. By putting a stop l behind the lever k, the timing action is rendered effective under all circumstances. An arm d is provided to vary the position of the lever k and consequently the time of retardation, and an arm c varies the tension of the armature spring m.

Title: A Combined Envelope Sealing and Stamp Applying Device.
Inventor: DUNN FRANK GORDON
IPC: B65C1/02
Filed: 1911-10-23
Granted: 1912-10-03
Abstract: 23,379. Dunn, F. G. Oct. 23. Stamp-applying; closing envelopes.-In machines for closing envelopes and affixing postage stamps thereto, envelopes are passed by hand between rollers h, h<3> on a slide b, and in so doing the flaps and the faces of the envelopes are damped and the flap is folded over, and the slide b is then pushed beneath a flap-pressing roller h<5> and a stamp - applying roller k. A spring-pressed roller h<2> presses the flap on the damping-roller h which is mounted in a groove g in the slide, and a roller h<1> deflects the flap into this groove, the body of the envelope then passing above the roller h<1> and drawing the flap beneath it from the groove. The part of the envelope to which a stamp is to be applied is damped by the roller h<3> resting upon the roller h. Stamps may be inserted into the machine in sheets or in strips, and in the latter case tension is applied to the strip p by a brake p<1> and by a spring p<2>. The strip is fed along by the engagement in its perforations of pins k<2> carried by the blocks k<3>, Figs. 1 and 6, in the roller k, which is mounted in arms j pivoted at j' and is pressed down by a spring k<1>. Stamps are severed from the strip by the transverse movement of the pins k<2>, the blocks k<3> being moved axially of the roller k against the action of springs k<7> by levers k<8> pivoted on the roller contacting with a fixed stop k‹. Engagement of the pins k<2> with the perforations in the strip p is ensured by a grooved roller and a roller m<1> composed of a number of separated disks. Rollers n, n<2> prevent the end of the strip from leaving the roller k before being pressed on an envelope. The roller k is rotated by contact with an envelope upon the slide b, and immediately a stamp is affixed, the roller is arrested by a detent operated by the slide b rocking an arm o<5>. The apparatus may be coin-freed.

Abstract: 26,042. Theyskens, A. Nov. 21. Catches yielding to pull and pressure.-Relates to means for securing sliding doors, such as described in Specification 16,908/08, [Class 20, Buildings &c.], for instance, by devices of the type in which spring - pressed pawls having tilting and sliding movements engage projections so that they resist normal pressures but yield to considerable force. Pawls H, I slidably pivoted at M and controlled by a spring K are tilted by the inclined faces of projections R, R<1> on the door and engage behind their vertical faces. A keyrotated disk C, having a stud 0 and held by a catch, may be used to lock the pawl H. Otherwise, considerable pressure causes the pawl H to slide back, its pivot M traversing the slot F, and a lateral extension at its front rising up the incline 3, to release the projection R.

Castings.-Ingots cast preferably of the shape shown in Fig. 3 are reduced to the shape shown in Fig. 4 by axial rolling, to force out entrapped gases &c., while in a semi-plastic condition. In a modification, cylindrical ingots are placed in a trough-shaped die 29, Fig. 6, with movable end pieces 28 which separate when pressure is applied at 27, and are compressed into rectangular shape Channels 31 permit the escape of the entrapped gases. A mill for preforming the axial rolling has three rolls with a rectangular groove turned at each end to receive loose disks 14, Fig. 2, which square the ends of the ingots. The rolls 5, 11 are counterbalanced to facilitate pass adjustment, and the roll 11 is supported by an auxiliary roll 21. Ingots are supplied at 24 and discharged at 25. In a modification, the ingot is acted upon by four rolls two of which are adjustable.
