Inventor: WALLER WILLIAM
IPC: B23K1/18
Filed: 1910-01-12
Granted: 1911-03-13
Abstract: 844. Waller, W. Jan. 12. Soldering -Channelled tins such as a, Fig. 2, formed by stamping, are prepared for sealing by running molten solder into the channel a<1> or by fusing solid solder inserted in the channel in ring or other form, and then allowing it to solidify as at a<4>, flux being previously applied to the channel and the solder. The tins may be stored in this state. Lids a<2> are fixed on the tins by melting the solder by gas or other burners, pressing the flanges a<3>, which are coated with flux by a saturated felt pad &c., into the solder, and then allowing the solder to cool. A machine for preparing the tins or for soldering the lids has a table c with depressions c<1> for the tins, which carries guide-rods c<2>, and is moved vertically in guides b<1> by a rod c<3> and pedal lever c'. The pedal lever carries a weight c' and also springs, if desired, for counterbalancing the weight of the table with the filled tins, and in order that the machine may be used for preparing the empty tins the part c<7x> is removable. The table is held in its downward position while being supplied with fresh tins by a handoperated catch c<9> engaging a pin b<5> on the guide b<1>. This is then released and the table moved upwards so that the lids are pressed on the solder by spring-pressed plungers e. The upper ends of the tins then enter a series of gas-rings d; and the solder is melted and the lids forced by the spring plungers into the channels. The table is then retracted from the heaters until the plungers are arrested by the collars e<3> engaging the guide b<4>; the table is then stopped so as to allow the solder to solidify by a foot-operated catch c<8> engaging a notch in the standard c<6>. The clutch is then released, and the table assumes its lowest position, the tins being then removed. The gas-rings may be heated by jets d<2> and supplied with a mixture of gas and air from a pipe d<7>, which is connected by regulating-cocks d<6> with pipes d<5>, d<4>. The rings may be supplied with gas and air in any other manner, or may be heated by electricity.

IPC: H01B17/02
Filed: 1910-03-22
Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 7212. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. March 22. Insulators for high-tension transmission work are constructed with a supporting - bell wherein one or more insulating- members are secured. The insulating - members carry lower strain members, such as bolts, and balls or slugs for distributing the pressure are situated between the insulating-member and the bolt. As shown in Fig. 1, the insulating-member 2 is secured in the bell 1 by a wire 17 cut in sections and forced into the channel formed by the grooves 4, 9 through a tangential passage. The balls 14 may consist of brass or copper, or may be of hard metal coated with soft metal, or may be provided with small protuberances all over the surface, and are introduced through a channel 15 formed in the contracted neck of the insulator 2. The ledge 13 is provided with a single notch, which, when brought into coincidence with the groove 15, allows the balls to pass; when the balls or slugs have been introduced so as to rest between the head 12 and the shoulder 11, the notch is moved out of coincidence with the groove 15 and some insulating- material or other self-hardening substance 21 may be introduced to exclude moisture. Other methods of introducing the balls are described, for instance the bolt 3 may be made with an axial passage, or, as shown in Fig. 3, the head 12 may be made concave so as to contain and support all the balls when the bolt is introduced, after which by manipulation they may be passed through the passage 19 to the space beneath. In modifications, more than one insulating- member may be used, and the wire grip 17 used in the insulator shown in Fig. 1 may be replaced by balls introduced through a passage provided for this purpose.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Fluid-pressure Machines.
Inventor: PITTLER WILHELM VON
IPC: F16H39/42
Filed: 1910-05-17
Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 12,159. Pittler, W. von. May 14, 1909, [Convention date]. Fixed-abutment type; working-fluid supply; governing pumps; balancing moving parts.-In a rotary pump having axially-sliding vanes, the distance to which the axially-extending abutment projects into the working-chamber is adjustable so as to vary the output of the pump. In the example given, the invention is applied to an hydraulic transmission gear. Two pumps are provided in one casing, which pump in opposite directions, the suction chamber of one being the discharge chamber of the other. In the condition shown in Fig. 4, an abutment 4 only is effective and the corresponding pump works at its full capacity. In the condition shown in Fig. 5, two abutments 4, 4<1> are equally effective and the two pumps, working equally in opposite directions, transmit no fluid to the motor. Fig. 1 shows the complete gear. The pump drum 1 is secured to a sleeve 24, and the abutments 4, 4' are secured to sleeves 31, 31<1> respectively. The position shown corresponds to Fig. 4. When the reversing-lever 28 is pulled over, the drum 1 is moved to the left and the abutment 4<1> is moved to keep in contact with the drum by a spring 30'. When the zero position, shown in Fig. 5, is reached, a shoulder on the sleeve 31<1> prevents further movement of the abutment 4', and at the same time the disk 1 contacts with the abutment 4 and moves this with it to the left. When the movement is completed, the left-hand pump is inactive and the right-hand pump is working at full capacity. The suction and discharge chambers 10 of the pump communicate with the ports of a rotary engine of the type having outwardly-sliding vanes. The engine has a series of annular concentric working chambers 15 on each side, which communicate with one another through transverse ports 22. This engine is driven in a direction depending upon which of the two pumps is working at the greater capacity. Safety-valves are provided in the connecting- passages. In one modification, the abutments are always held by springs in contact with the pump disk, and in another the abutments are mounted upon a central disk which forms the inner wall of each of two oppositely-working pump chambers.

Granted: 1912-02-22
Abstract: 7547. Aldridge, J. G. W. March 25. Charging. -In a pivoted push - plate retort-charger of the type described in Specifications 10,480/02,5375/06, 27,117 / 06, and 26,056 / 08, [all in Class 55, Gas manufacture], some or all of the push-plates can be moved independently of the body of the charger in order to compress the coal in the retort. In one form, Figs. 1 and 2, the push-plates a are pivoted to arched supports b carried by blocks c adapted to slide in guide slots d formed in the side plates e of the charger, and are operated independently of the charger body by an arm j on the winding-drum through a connecting-rod k, cross-head l, and jointed rods o. In order that the charge shall be compressed evenly through the retort the plates a are moved through distances gradually increasing from the front to the rear of the charger. To effect this, the rod o is formed near each push-plate with upstanding teeth o<2>, o<3>, between which is engaged a pin c<2> on a plate c<1> pivoted to the block c. The pin c<2> moves in a slot c<3>, and the inclination of this slot and the height of the rear tooth o<3> are so related that, when the pushplate has been moved through the required distance, the rod o moves forward leaving the plate behind. The charger is moved forward by arms g engaging projections g', and is arrested at the end of its strokes by stops h. To prevent movement of the charger during the rearward movement of the push-plates, a bolt r is allowed to drop into a fixed socket t when the draw-hooks s leave the pins u. The rod k is made in two parts connected by springs k<4> arranged to absorb the shock due to the sudden application of power on the return stroke. In a modification, the compression is effected by continuing the forward movement of the side plates and releasing the push-plates at intervals so that they are successively, left behind.
