Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 3642. Sipp, G. Feb. 13. Winding-machines; driving- arrangements; stop-motions; tension arrangements. - In machines for winding cops, quills, &c., the spindles 34, Fig. 4, on which the cops &c. are built are driven through friction gearing 36, 39, the latter gear being carried on a shaft 37, mounted in a frame 33. The shafts 37 are driven by a belt 26 passing round pulleys 24, 25 one at each end of the machine and kept in contact with the pulleys 38 on the shafts by idler pulleys 30. The pulley 25 is adjustable to tension the belt, and the pulley 24 is mounted on a vertical shaft 3, Fig. 1, driven through friction gearing 5, u from the main shaft q. The shaft q also drives through gearing r, 13, and either 10 or 8, the cam shaft 6 from which the necessary traverse of the guide which lays the thread upon the cop &c. is obtained. In order to vary the relative rotary motion of the spindle and reciprocating motion of the thread guide, the conical friction gear u is movable by hand longitudinally along the shaft q, the vertical shaft 3 being adapted to slide in its bearings. The thread-guide 61 is mounted upon a vertical rod 52 adapted to slide in the machine frame and supported at its lower end in an open-ended slot in a pivoted arm 21' operated through a connecting-rod 22 by a cam 7 on the shaft 6. The threadguide 61 is carried by a piece 56, which is adapted to slide relatively to the rod 52 and is raised intermittently as the cop grows, a spring 64 engaging teeth 62 on the rod to prevent backward movement. The frames 33, Fig. 4, are pivoted in lugs on a plate m, and are supported at the top by projections sliding between outstanding pieces 32 on a plate l. The frame is adjustable about its pivot by a set-screw 41, and is kept in position to be in driving engagement with the band 26 and the spindle wheel 36 by a spring pin 47 bearing against a lever 45 held by a weighted hooked piece 48 and connecting - rod 46. The hooked piece 48 engages the frame 49, and is released therefrom at a predetermined stage of the winding by the rising of the piece which carries the thread-guide. When the hook is released, the weight of the frame 33 causes it to fall over and carry the pulley 38 away from the band 26 and the pulley 39 away from the wheel 36, thus stopping the winding. ' The spindles 34 and the rods 52 are supported in rails i, n connected by overlapping slotted plates u. This portion of the machine is removable bodily upon unbolting the rails i, n, the slot in the arm 21 being open ended to allow this. The thread passes to the spindle through a tension device 67, Fig. 29, comprising rollers 68 resting on a plate 70, against which they hold the thread. The rollers are free to move between stops 71, and the tension may be varied by tilting the device, which is mounted upon bars 72.

Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 10,156. Benk÷, S. April 26. Electrolytes, circulating. - In a primary battery, a porous negative electrode, which may consist of carbon, is impregnated with a very concentrated depolarizing-electrolyte, and water is introduced round the positive electrode with or without pressure, dissolving the exciting electrolyte from the impregnated negative electrode. The depolarizing electrolyte may be a solution of sodium bichromate and sulphuric acid, for instance, or it may yield chlorine. Impregnation of the carbon may be effected by pressure or suction before use, as by filling the cell temporarily with the depolarizing electrolyte so that liquid is forced into the pores by gravity, or the liquid may be supplied continuously. In one arrangement, a hollow carbon electrode, kept filled with the liquid from a reservoir at the top, is placed in a cell through which water flows and which contains the positive electrode. In another construction, shown in Fig. 1, water flows through a hollow in a carbon a containing the positive electrode d, the depolarizing liquid being supplied between the carbon and an outer casing c from a reservoir h. The water supply may be regulable to vary the concentration of the electrolyte, and may be derived through a pipe with a regulating means from a vessel i, which may be above or at the same level as the cell. Reservoirs may be omitted, the carbon being filled with water, and the space between the carbon and the casing with the depolarizing-liquid.

Granted: 1912-09-12
Abstract: 1167. Mansfeld'sche Kupferschiefer Bauende Gewerkschaft, Jan. 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Press working valves; machines and apparatus.-The invention comprises an arrangement of valves for cage winding-gear, whereby either one valve is closed by the opening of the other, or independent movement can be given to each valve, subject to the condition that one is always returned to the closed position. Provision is also made for the simultaneous closing of both valves. The two valves, one of which is shown in detail, are contained in the same casing 1. Passages 3, 5 serve for admission and discharge respectively, while the passage 4 communicates with the cylinders of the engine, so that the raising of the piston 14 determines the rise of the cage, and vice versa. By the use of the lever 16, one valve is set for admission of pressure fluid (opened), while the other is simultaneously set for its discharge (closed). Where cages have two charging-platforms, independent reversal of each cage is necessary, and this is attained by the use of a lever 18 for each valve, Figs. 3 and 4. One lever, however, is fitted with a dog 19, Fig. 5, to bring one valve always into the discharge position. Whether independence of each valve is required or not, both valves can be put into the inoperative position by reason of the fact that the pivot 17 of the control lever or levers is attached to a support 20 which can be longitudinally displaced. Movement is effected by the rotation of a threaded spindle 21 rotated by gear-wheels 22 operated by the rod 24 and hand-wheel 23, Fig. 6. Both pistons are first set in their midpositions, and the support 20 is then lowered until both pistons rest in their seatings.
