Title: Improvements in Panorama Telescopes.
Inventor: BARR ARCHIBALD
IPC: G02B23/08
Filed: 1911-11-30
Granted: 1912-10-03
Abstract: 26,791. Barr, A., and Stroud, W. Nov. 30. Periscopes. - Panorama telescopes or dial sights of the type described in Specification 15,150/02 have the holder E of the erecting prism B working in a cylindrical, or conical, hole in a piece D with the axis of the hole in which E works slightly inclined to the axis of rotation of the piece D, so that by rotation of the holder E in the piece D the reflecting face of the prism B may be set accurately parallel to the axis nf rotation of the piece D. Another improvement consists in mounting the roofprism C in a holder P having a lug Q engaging in a recess in a carrier R, the base T, T' of which is held in a recess in the casing N by a plug U. In order to facilitate removal of the prism holder and carrier, the one half T<1> of the base T, T' is constructed so that it can be turned downwards about a hinge. Another feature consists in mounting the dial plate W in such a manner that shocks or blows upon the dial plate are not transmitted to the internal parts of the sight. The dial plate W is mounted upon and revolves on the column H, and the necessary connexion between the dial plate and the head F and sleeve G is made by means of the screw pins Y passing through plain holes in the dial plate.

Abstract: 29,693. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, [Cox, R. C., and Wyman, F. A.]. Dec. 24. Hand pumps; pumps with means for reversing direction of flow.-The base 51 of a pump for supplying liquid to a pressure-gauge testing device is secured to the cover plate 12 of an oil reservoir 10 and is provided with a duct 53, Fig. 7, leading to the elbow 50 and a duct 54 leading from the reservoir 10. A valve carrier 57 rotatably mounted on the base 51 has ducts 59, 60, fitted with flap valves 60, 61 and adapted to register with either of the ducts 53, 54. The base 51 is formed with upwardly extending walls 56 in which a cylinder 64 is secured. The cylinder 64 prevents upward movement of the valve carrier 57. A piston 68 is reciprocable in the cylinder 64 by means of a hand-lever 70 pivoted to a bracket 71 on the cylinder top and connected by screws to a stem 66 on the piston. In testing a gauge, the pump is first operated with the valve 49 closed and the valve 45 open to pump fluid from the reservoir 10 into the cylinder 19 until the plunger 30 is in the position shown and the pipe 46 is filled, a slight pressure being indicated on the gauge. The valve 45 is then closed and the valve 49 opened, whereupon the continued operation of the pump forces the fluid into the cylinder 22 until the pin 38 on the plunger reaches the end of the slot 33 in the extension 32 of the plunger 30. The valve 49 is then closed and pressure applied to the gauge by means of weights. After the testing operation, the valve carrier is turned to transpose the positions of the valves 61, 62, and after opening the valves 45, 49 the pump is operated to empty the pressure fluid from the apparatus into the reservoir 10.

Granted: 1915-06-17
Abstract: 14,893. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, [Cleveland Folding Machine Co.]. June 20. Folding paper.-In buckling-folders of the kind described in Specifications 14,631/07 and 12,653/08, a series of parallel buckling-rollers and co-operating folding-plates, for making a number of parallel folds either of the duplex or accordion type prior to making a fold at right-angles, is so arranged that the means for conveying the sheets to the right-angle folder are adjustable to take the sheet after folding by one or more of the parallel folders. The parallel folders may be arranged with the folding-plates in horizontal planes, and with the lower folders in a movable frame for removing them out of the way, so that an adjustable cross-feed frame may be moved to receive the folded sheet at different levels in the machine and convey it to the right-angle buckling-rolls. The sheet is fed from a table b by rolls b<1>, b<11> through a shoot c to the first pair of parallel buckling-rolls d, c, whence it is directed into a folding-plate c', from which it is folded between rolls c, f, and so on, into other folding-plates f<1>, g<1>, h<1>, and through other buckling-rollers f, g, g, h, h, i. The last pair h, i of rolls and the last two folding-plates g<1>, h<1> are mounted on a supplemental frame o pivoted at o<1>, whereby they may be turned down, as shown in dotted lines, for making less than four parallel folds, deflectors replacing the folding-plates where necessary. The parallel folded sheet is then fed into a shoot i and through slitting or creasing rolls i<11> into the frame of the cross-feed mechanism, which consists of two sets of paired frusto-conical rolls k suitably geared for advancing the sheet to the right along the grooved guide k<1> and between vertical buckling and creasing rolls associated with the coacting side frame l, whereby the first right-angle fold is made. When the supplemental folding-frame with the rollers h, i is turned out of use, the height of the receiving-shoot i' of the crossfeed mechanism is adjusted accordingly by means of clamping-straps p<11> on a rotating rod p engaging rods j<11>, which form, with other rods j<1>, the frame receiving the parallel folded sheets. The whole frame may thus be turned forward on the pivoted bar p. The frustoconical rolls k together with their grooved guide k<1> are similarly adjustable upon the bars j<11>, in order to adapt the cross-conveyer mechanism to accommodate sheets of different widths. The folding-plates and the side frame l are provided with adjustable stops e<11>, g<11>, &c. to determine the length of the folds. The various rolls are resiliently mounted.

IPC: H02H7/26
Filed: 1915-03-26
Abstract: 4738. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Wedmore, E. B. March 26. Protective arrangements.-In the protection of alternating-current parallel-conductor systems by automatically disconnecting a feeder &c. in case of fault, transformers 10 normally circulating current in an auxiliary circuit are used with reverse current relays A, B, the relays being so connected that they are normally traversed by a current in the opposite direction to that requisite for operation and consequently do not respond until the unbalancing exceeds a predetermined percentage of the current carried by one of the conductors. The object may be effected, as shown, by connecting one terminal of the current coils of both relays to a point 13 in the auxiliary circuit, and the other terminals of the relays respectively to the ends of an impedance coil 14. an intermediate point of which is equipotential to the point 13. In an alternative arrangement, Fig. 4. the relays are in series with the transformer windings which oppose one another, and the impedance is cross-connected between them.
