Title: Improvements in Excavating Machines.
Inventor: HELM JOHN
Filed: 1904-04-19
Granted: 1904-12-01
Abstract: 9031. Helm, J. April 19. Excavating. - Consists in an excavating-machine, particularly applicable for cutting trenches, by which the earth is first dislodged by cutters and then carried away by a conveyer, the arrangement being such that trenches of variable depth may be cut without detaching or adding parts, that the machine may be capable of working during ascent and descent, and that the dislodging-apparatus may be automatically raised and lowered. Fig. 1 shows one form of the machine. A truck 2 carries the engine 8 which propels it and operates the excavating - machine, and this truck is attached to a frame 4. On this frame is pivotally mounted a frame 15, in which slides the bars 18 braced together and carrying at their bottom extremities motors 29 and gearing 27, 28 for actuating the cutters 25 as shown in front view in Fig. 2, so that the weight of the motors serves to force the cutters down. A spring 21 connects the frame 15 and truck 2, and thus holds the cutters up to their work. The cutters are arranged to work in either direction, and an apron 37 sliding in guide-bars prevents the excavated material from being thrown on the elevator. The winding-drum 29<b> is worked off the crank shaft of the motors 29, and winds up a rope 34 which is also attached to the manually-operated winding-drum 33, so that the dislodging-mechanism is raised or lowered automatically when the drum 33 is locked. The latter serves to raise or lower the cutters when they are not being rotated. The elevating-apparatus is composed of bars 42 constructed similarly to the bars 18, and mounted to slide in a pivoted frame 40 similar to the frame 15. The buckets 49 are attached to the chain 48 which passes over sprocket-wheels mounted at the ends of the bars 42, in front of wheels 61, behind the driving sprocket-wheels 57, and in front of the wheels 62, shown in Fig. 3, the three latter pairs of sprocketwheels being mounted in a pivoted frame to allow of the inclination of the elevating-apparatus. The wheel 53, which is driven from the engine by chain gearing, is mounted on the same spindle as the wheels 57, and the wheel 54, also mounted on this spindle, drives the conveyer 70 through chain gearing. The elevator frame is raised or lowered by means of a rope 63 wound on a manuallyoperated drum 64. A rope attached to the top of the frame by a link together with the rope 63 holds the elevator frame in position. The pivoted spill-apron 69 slides on the conveyer frame, and is arranged below the fixed spill-apron 68. Fig. 6 shows a modification of the machine in which the cutters only act as the frame is lowered, and are worked directly off the crank shaft of the motors 29. The cutting-frame is raised by a rope 75 wound on the drum 77 on the engine shaft, and the conveyer is worked off this shaft by a belt 80. The elevator is adjusted to the depth of the trench by means of plates 82, 83 connected by pins or bolts, and the length of the chain is adjusted by adding or removing links.

Granted: 1905-03-02
Abstract: 29,045. Myers, M. Dec. 30. Moulding; pressing; shaping.-Relates to a machine for moulding screw caps for jars, insulators, &c. A plunger L, Fig. 1, provided with h a spring head M of the usual kind, is operated by compressed air in the ordinary way. A revolving table e, Figs. 1 and 2, carries a number of toothed arcs 8, pivoted at 9 and provided with pins 10, F<1>, which engage cam - grooves B<1>, 2 in a fixed table b, causing the arcs 8 to rotate in alternate directions. The bottom of each mould, Fig. 8, is formed by the top of a sleeve f, which is threaded at g, so as to form the thread on the insulator &c., and is itself screwed on to a bolt h fixed to the revolving table. A pinion H<1> engages the teeth of the arcs 8, Fig. 2, thus causing the sleeve f to rise and fall as the table e revolves. The glass is placed in the mould, which is then brought under the plunger and pressed. The table is held during the pressing by a spring bolt, which is released by a projection a<7>, Fig. 2, and rises into one of the - boles q in the table e. A hand-lever is then moved to retract the locking-bolt and operate the air valve Q, Figs. 1 and 3. This causes the plunger to rise and a piston-rod o, connected with the shaft 7 of the revolving table by the slotted lever, and ratchet and pawl mechanism shown, to be withdrawn. The table is thereby rotated till the next mould comes under the plunger. As the mould containing the pressed article is carried round, the sleeve f, Fig. 8, is lowered, leaving the article supported by the end i of the fixed bolt h. The article may then be removed as usual.

Title: Method of Operating Mercury Vapour Lamps
Inventor: LUCAS OWEN DAVID
Filed: 1905-06-09
Granted: 1906-06-07
Abstract: 12,087. Lucas, O. D. June 9. Vacuum tubes.- Mercuryvapour lamps using alternating or intermittent current a r e connected in parallel, or, according to the Provisional Specification, in series, with condensers, to increase the light emitted and to vary its colour. Spark-gaps may be added, to enhance these effects. The lamp may be of the kind in which coatings B, Fig. 1, forming an independent system of condensers, are placed on the tube and bulbs, as described in Specification No. 27,245, A.D. 1904. The spark-gaps may be inserted between the terminals of the condenser F and of the lamp, or at the junction of the wires C connecting the coatings. The capacity of the condensers formed by the terminal coatings B may be decreased, in order to increase the light, by making the lamp of the same diameter throughout, or by shaping the ends of the tube as shown in Fig. 5, which construction also allows the lamp to be inverted without loss of mercury from the electrode pockets. The capacity of the outside condenser may then be correspondingly diminished. In a lamp of the rectifier type, condensers F, Fig. 6, are connected between the negative connexion D<1> and each positive connexion D<3>, and spark-gaps may be inserted in all these connexions ; a phasesplitting transformer D is used when the current is single-phase. When direct current is used to operate a lamp, a subsidiary circuit between the mercury cathode and an auxiliary electrode, close to the anode, is supplied with intermittent or alternating current, either from a transformer and alternating- current mains or from the direct-current source by means of an interrupter in series with an inductance, or by means of an induction-coil. With this subsidiary circuit, the condenser and spark-gap may be connected. Inductances may be placed in the direct-current circuit to prevent transmission through it of the intermittent current. A second mercury-vapour lamp may replace a spark-gap.
