Title: Improvements in Roller Mills.
IPC: B02C4/04
Filed: 1911-10-27
Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 23,805. Savage, J. E., and Brinjes & Goodwin. Oct. 27. Roller mills. - A roller mill for mixing and grinding ink, paint, &c. comprises in a single machine a combined group or series of tripleroller mills of which one roller is common to two or more triple sets, the rollers of which are so arranged that each triple set acts as a separate unit from which the material is automatically fed into another of the group of triple rollers in its passage through the machine. A machine with the first feed-roller a common to three separate triple-roller mills is shown. The material from the first triple mill a, b, c is directed by a scraper d to the second triple mill a, c, f, and a scraper directs the material from the roller f to a feed-tray h leading to the third triple mill a, i, j.
Patent GB-191127623-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Prime Power Generators, known as a Hydrodynamo.
Inventor: HOWLAND-SHEARMAN CHARLES HATHA
IPC: F03G7/10
Filed: 1911-12-08
Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 27,623. Shearman, C. H. Howland-. Dec. 8. Self-driving plant.-A compartmental drum is mounted between two U-shaped columns in which the level of liquid rises in one as it falls in the other, motion of the drum being obtained bv the aid of floats which are received by a column from the lowermost compartment of the drum, raised by the introduction of liquid into the column and finally ejected into the uppermost compartment of the drum, the cycle of operations being repeated with other floats. Figs. 1, 2 show front and side elevations respectively of the machine. In the position shown in Fig. 1, the liquid of the left-hand water-column 17 is at its lowest level, and that of the other column 16 at its highest; the buffer 139, the spring of which has been compressed by the impact of the previous float, is just released and is opening the left-hand admission-chamber 77 by means of rod 121, to receive a float, as 31, discharged from a compartment in the drum 1. Simultaneously, an immersed float 30, having been released at the bottom of the right-hand column 16 and having compressed the right-hand spring 142 in its rise, is nearing the surface of the liquid to be expelled by the lever 178 down the right-hand upper floatway 172, where it presses down the crank 210, thus permitting the drum to turn forward. Prior to the release of the drum, the action of the left-hand buffer 139 closes the gate-valve 153 and at the same time, through rod 121, disengages the right-hand clutch 348 and engages the left-hand clutch 349, so releasing the drum from connexion with a hydrostatic balance 290 on the right and connecting it with a similar balance 291 on the left. These hydrostatic balances are designed exactly to counterbalance at all levels the back-pressure of the lifted liquid upon a plunger, as 332, the construction being such as is shown in Fig. 2, where the motion of each weight, for instance 299. past the zenith of the hydrostatic balance, acting by means of a rack and pinion 315 and 321 through the beam 323, counterbalances the layer of water forced from the cylinder 23 into its connected flotation column 17. Hence, as the drum 1 now starts forward, the left-hand hydrostatic balance 291, through the clutch 349, beam 323 and associated plunger, raises the liquid 21 about the now locked float 31 until it reaches its highest level, whereupon it is released and repeats the above operations. Other details of the apparatus are noteworthy. Thus, the beam 3, attached to beams 322, 323, is arranged to synchronize the rise and fall of the liquids in their respective columns; governor mechanism, connected to the governor rod 258, automatically regulates the speed of the drum ; and an arrangement is provided below the lower floatways, as 73, which lifts the floatway about an axis, as 75, immediately the float 31 passes out of the compartment so as to quicken its transit from the drum to the column.

Title: Improvements in Wall Plugs or other Couplings for Electrical Purposes.
Inventor: GIBSON VINCENT CLIFFORD HASTIN
IPC: H01R27/00

Granted: 1912-12-23
Abstract: 28,837. Gibson, V. C. H. Dec. 21. [Cognate Appication, 12,909/12.] Plug couplings. - A plug or socket coupling, particularly adapted for medical, curative, and surgical apparatus, is constructed so that the distance apart of the plugs or sockets may be varied by spring action. A plug member, for example, consists of two semicylindrical blocks of insulating-material a, b, Fig. 1, each carrying a plug c, d, and normally kept apart or held together by springs e which surround guide-studs fixed to one block and sliding freely in holes in the other block. The separation of the blocks is limited by means of a disk k fixed to one of the blocks by screws and having slots adapted to slide on screws in the other block. A slotted plate l is provided at the other end of the blocks, semicylindrical insulating-plates u being mounted outside the plate. The plugs are supported by the plates and are screwed to terminals v adapted to receive the ends of wires g, which are prevented from chafing by means of thimbles s. The ends of the plugs may be barbed, as shown in Fig. 4, or may be split and formed with one or more tapers, or made stepped, a transverse hole being made at the end of the split. In a modification, shown in Fig. 14, the plugs have extensions y with squared portions 1 passing right through the blocks, and are secured by nuts 12. The socket part of a coupling may be made adjustable in a similar manner, so that the distance between the socket contacts may be varied. Terminals. - The terminals 14, Fig. 14, by means of which the leads are connected to the plug contacts, are covered by insulating screwed caps 15.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Making Bags or Containers.
IPC: B31B3/64
Filed: 1912-02-07
Granted: 1913-02-07
Abstract: 3149. Rose, W., and Rose Bros. Feb. 7. Paper bags, making.-The formers of a machine for making paper bags are made collapsible so that the finished bags can be removed without injury. The formers, which are rectangular in cross-section, project radially from an intermittently-rotated sleeve 39, and move preferably in an horizontal plane. Each former consists of a fixed part 52 which is formed in one with an arm 59 secured to the sleeve 39, and a movable part 53 which is formed in one with an arm 55 pivoted on a pin 54 carried by the arm 59. The arm 55 has a tail-piece or extension 155, which at the proper time engages a roller 56 and is moved against the pressure of a spring 57 to cause the part 53 to approach the part 52, thus diminishing the cross-section of the former. Channels 60 are formed in the vertical and horizontal sides of the fixed part 52 for the reception of the projections of a stripping - device which removes the bag. A presser-foot 62 is mounted on an arm 63 which is rigidly secured to one arm of a bell-crank lever 64. An oscillating lever 73 actuated by a cam 65 engages the long arm of the lever 64 and holds the presser out of contact with the former while the paper is being folded round it. When the arm 64 moves out of engagement with the lever 73, a spring 75 forces the presser against the former to press the longitudinal seam of the bag while the bottom is being folded. A lever 232 actuated by a cam 227 raises the presser-foot while the bag is being removed from the former.

Abstract: 4855. Anderson, N. J., Anderson Manufacturing- Co. 4, 1911. Feed openings for solids, regulating; safety devices for charging-apertures.-The carbidefeed valve 68, Fig. 2, is carried by a spring- controlled rod 55 working in a stuffing-box 50 in the top of the carbide chamber 42, and is operated by a lever 57 carrying at one end a hand grip 62 and connected to the casing at the other end by a link 57<a>. The chamber 42 is screwed into the top 40 of the generator until a flange 44 makes a gastight joint with the top 40. The charging aperture 86, Figs. 1 and 9, of the carbide chamber is covered by the end of a lever 94 supported on a bracket 89 and locked to the latter by a bolt 99, so that the aperture cannot be uncovered without withdrawing this bolt. The lever is connected at its other end to a safety valve 80<a>, which is opened when the lever is moved to uncover the charging aperture, allowing gas to escape to a point of safety. The generator is charged with water through a seal 36, Fig. 1, which may be provided with a funnel 39. Gas passes to a washer 68, Fig. 1, filled with liquid in a similar manner. Specification 15,537/11 is referred to.
