Granted: 1914-05-14
Abstract: 11,975. Resisto-Electrical Manufacturing Co., and Ruzicka, C. May 22. Resistances, composition. Bodies for use in heaters or rheostats are formed from a mixture of one or more carbides of metals or metalloids of high specific resistance and melting-points above 1500‹C., for instance, carbides of titanium, chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, boron, or silicon, and one or more carbides of metals of lower specific resistance and melting-points between 1500‹ C. and 800‹ C., for instance, carbides of manganese, iron, nickel, or cobalt. The mixture may also contain one or more permanent and inert substances of low melting- point which are second-class conductors, such as feldspar, calcium silicate, iron silicate, aluminium borate. The substances are mixed in a finely powdered form with or without a temporary binding-agent, such as mineral oil or glycerine, moulded under high pressure into rod, tube, button, or other form and heated sufficiently in a reducing-atmosphere to melt the more fusible carbide. The carbides used may be of higher or lower degree, but the presence of free carbon is to be avoided. A mixture suitable for preparing bodies for use in motorcontrollers consists of 6 parts of boron carbide, 2 parts of iron carbide, 2 parts of neutral feldspar, and 1 part of glycerine.

Inventor: JOHNSTON CHARLES EMERSON
IPC: B60B39/00
Filed: 1914-01-06
Granted: 1914-08-20
Abstract: 400. Johnston, C. E. Jan. 6. Slipping of wheels, preventing.-Relates to non- skid devices for automobiles and other vehicles of the kind in which transverse struts fitted with road-gripping devices are brought into contact with the ground when a wheeled trailer is displaced. Two arms 8, pivoted at 9 to a casing 11 surrounding the axle and provided with road grips or shoes 7, are normally held in their inoperative position by spring catches 33. A wheel 1 is carried by an arm 2, Fig. 2, pivoted to a bracket 4 beneath the vehicle and is pressed against the road by a spring 58 placed between the arm 2 and the axle. When side slip occurs, the wheel 1 tilts and, by means of a fork 51 and stem 50, moves a transverse sliding rod 41 which operates one or other of the catches 33 and allows the corresponding arm 8 to fall. Springs 52 assist the movement of the arms 8, and links 53 limit its extent. The arm 8 that has been in use is automatically raised after a skid by means of a chain 20, wound on a drum 19 contained in a casing 18 at the side of the wheel 1. Pawls on the drum are held in engagement with a ratchet-wheel 24 on the axle of the wheel 1 by means of a spring 26. When the arm 8 has been raised sufficiently, it encounters a lever 31 which operates through a cord 29 a lever 27 (not shown in Fig. 1) on the casing 18 so as to move the drum 19 against the spring 26 and withdraw the pawls from engagement with the ratchet-wheel 24. The catches 33 are carried in pairs by vertical spindles 34, Fig. 6, capable of turning in bearings 35. Cranks 38 on the spindles are connected by links 39 to an eye 40 through which the rod 41 passes. Adjustable nuts on the ends of the rod 41 bear against the eyes 40 so that when the rod 41 is moved the catches 33 of one pair are turned with their spindles 34 and the arm 8 is released. Springs 43 on the bearings 35 acting against pins 44 on the spindles 34 return the catches to their normal position. The catches 33 are bevelled as shown and are pivoted at 36 to their spindles 34 under constraint of springs 37, so that when the arm 8 is raised, the catches 33 automatically separate to admit it and then reclose. The arms 8 are braced against rearward movement by stays 54, Fig. 2, the forward ends of which are slotted to move over studs 56. Springs 59 are arranged between the studs 56 and the forward ends of the slots.

Title: Improvements in Jar Molding Machines.
Inventor: LEWIS WILFRED
IPC: C03B9/40
Filed: 1914-09-15
Granted: 1915-05-13
Abstract: 19,808. Lewis, W. Sept. 15. Moulding-machines of t h e type described in Specification 10,070/14 have the inlet valve G for the jarring-cylinder connected to the exhaust valve J by a piston I and cylinder G<3>. Alined axial perforations in the valve stems contain a pilot valve constructed in sections H, H<10>, H<A>. The section H seats at I<3> and the section HA at I<4>. When the sections are held in close relation, the ball section H<10> closes the passage H<1> communicating with pressure supply in the chamber G<2> by an opening G". The section H<A> has a fluted stem affording a connexion to exhaust at B<3> for the lower side of the cylinder G<3> through ports I<2>. Springs O, K assist in seating the valves H, J. The valve J is formed with a cylinder extension J<2> so that opening to exhaust does not take place immediately upon the commencement of movement. A curved projection J<3> is provided to cause the exhausting air to tend to keep the valve open. The parts are shown in position with the jarring-piston lowered and at rest. Pressure supplied at C<2> passes through the ports F<1> and raises the piston C<1>. It also acts through the ports G<5> above the piston I holding the valve J closed. The ball H<10> prevents escape of pressure fluid from the passage H<1>. As the piston C<1> rises, the cylinder G3 also rises, maintaining the valve G open until the piston I contacts the washer G<6>. The valve G then seats and further movement of the piston C<1> raises the valve J allowing the valve sections H, H<A> to seat and admitting pressure fluid from the passage H<1> through the ports I<2> to the lower side of the piston I. The valve J has then risen sufficiently to begin to open to exhaust ar.d the consequent fall in pressure above the piston I permits it to rise thus causing a rapid completion of the opening of the valve J. The fall of the jarring-piston restores the valves to their original position for a repetition of the cycle. A modified form of exhaust valve and pilot valve is shown in Fig. 3, being of simpler construction but requiring a more accurate and a closer fitting of the parts to prevent excessive leakage.
