Abstract: 17,787. Lambert, F. D., and Resch, R. R. Aug. 4. Movable - abutment type; valves and valvegear; packing drums, vanes, and abutments.- A rotary engine having cam-operated outwardlysliding abutments is provided with governorcontrolled cam-operated inlet valves, reversing- mechanism, and packings on the drum, vanes, and abutments. The abutments 21<1> are moved by a cam on the engine shaft 3<1> through links and levers 24<1>, 43<1> 45'. Steam is admitted to one side or the other of the abutments by oscillating cut-off and reversing valves 32<1> which are operated by a cam-track 69', Figs. 5 and 7, in a disk on the engine shaft through the medium of bell-crank lever 76', rods 61', 61<11> and levers 60<1>. The point of cut-off is determined by a cam-segment 97<1>, which is moved relatively to the hump 71' by a ball governor comprising weights 110<1> pivoted to the rotary disk at 107' and acting through links 112<1>, 102<1>. The reversing-lever 92' rocks a shaft 89<1>, and thereby suitably oscillates the four exhaust valves 38'. The faces of these valves are made concave where the piston vanes contact with them in passing. The rockshaft 89<1> also operates the cut-off valves to give reversal by the mechanism shown in Fig. 14. The valve-rods 61', 61<11> are connected to their operating-lever 76<1> by a screw-and-nut device 79<1> carrying a pinion 83'. The pinion is rotated by a rack 84<1> which is moved by the rockshaft 89'. The mechanism operates by moving the rods 61<1>, 61<11> relatively to the lever 76<1> and so reversing the cut-off valves. The engine rotor has a rim provided with vanes 9' and annular packed flanges 12<1>, Fig. 6, working on anti-friction rollers 18<1> in grooves in the casing 2<1>. The abutments are faced on all sides with spring-pressed packing-strips, and the piston vanes have spring-pressed strips on their outer edges. Inspection doors are provided in the casing.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Mounting of the Wheels of Velocipedes and the like.
Inventor: LEA RICHARD HENRY
IPC: B62K25/02
Filed: 1912-04-18
Granted: 1912-06-20
Abstract: 9170. Lea, R. H., and Ingall, C. H. April 18. Wheels, facilitating detachment of.-The hub 1 of the road wheel of a velocipede or the like is mounted on independent bearings 1<b> co-axial with the sprocket or belt wheel 5, which is also carried on independent bearings 6, the hub and the sprocket-wheel being connected by a flexible coupling 1<a> which can be disconnected by a movement in an axial direction on removal of a tubular nipple or sleeve 10. The axle 4 of the sprocket-wheel and a tubular stud 8 are normally fixed, as by clamping-nuts 7, 9, to the frame members 3, so that they remain in alinement when the central bolt 11 has been withdrawn and the wheel removed. The flexible coupling of the road and sprocket wheels is effected by the interengagement of axiallyextending teeth in such manner as to permit of a small freedom of movement between the wheels to prevent any binding action on the bearings. To facilitate the replacement of the nipple 10, it is connected to, or carried from, a convenient part, for example an arm 14 upon the stud 8, so that the nipple may be moved back into accurate position when the hub has been put back into place. The nipple may, however, be formed in one piece with the stud 8, in which case the stud would itself be removed from the frame to permit of the axial movement of the road wheel, and the clamping- nut 9 may be dispensed with. The wheel with its hub may be removed from its position as a driving-wheel and be placed in another part of the frame, for example the front forks of a bicycle.

Abstract: 18,797. Stockall, J. J. Aug. 16. Factory and like timerecorders, card-type. - Relates to improvements in card machines in connexion with means for varying the amount of the lift of the card to suit cards of different gauges; printing mixed arrivals and departures in two or more colours irrespective of the sequence of registrations ; and justifying the minute printing- wheel. A lifting-foot 3, Fig. 2, is secured to a vertical sliding bar 12 which is adjustably connected to a rack raised by a ventilated toothed wheel 8 driven through worm gearing from the clock. The bar 12 has slots with cross screws 15, which are engaged by forked projections 14 extending from the rack. The rack may thus be moved to accommodate toothed wheels 8 of various diameters corresponding to cards of different gauges. Inking-arrangements. -The ink-ribbon spools are mounted upon vertical sliding shafts d, Fig. 1, which may be depressed against the action of a spring h<1> by arms k. These arms are mounted on a shaft l and have pins k<2> engaging slots in links m, which are connected to a crank n on the shaft r which is rocked by the main operating-handle s. An arm o rigidly connected to the shaft l may engage a spring- pressed pawl p so as to prevent a descent of the arm k. When the projection z on the pawl p enters a recess on a timing-disk v, the arms o, k are free to descend when the handle s is operated. The pawl l is retained in its normal position by a bar q connected to a crank on the shaft r. The disks v, which correspond to each vertical column of the card, are mounted on a spindle w, driven from a clock &c. The disks are connected to the card sheath, and may be shifted so that they follow the lateral movements of the sheath. Alining time type-wheels.-A toothed wheel 22, Fig. 3, secured to the minute wheel 20 is moved by a pawl 23 which descends when the main handle is operated. The pawl 23 is carried by a pivoted arm 25 which may be drawn downwards by a spring 29 to a support 35 when a lever 31, connected by a link 32 to a crank on the shaft r, Fig. 1, is operated. The wheel 22 is thus carried forward until a numeral on the wheel 20 is opposite the printing line. A spring - actuated pawl 36, engaging a toothed wheel 39 on the shaft of the wheels 20, 22, prevents overrunning of the wheels. The pawl 36 may be released by a plunger 40 so that the minute wheel may be manually set.

Abstract: 27,526. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Nov. 29. Arc lamps.-To avoid lateral deflection of a flame or other arc between alined electrodes, the magnetic effect of the current in a conductor 5 past the are is largely neutralized by passing the same current in an opposite direction along a second conductor 11 adjacent to the first. A flexible wire 10 is shown connecting these conductors. The current may be carried from the lower end of the neutralizing-conductor by a flat horizontal ring 12 to a conductor 13, arranged on the opposite side of the arc so as to counteract any residual action of the current in the main conductor 5. At its lower end, the main conductor 5 may be attached to two curved divergent arms 6 which approach the lower electrode-holder from opposite sides so as to prevent magnetic action on the arc when the lower electrode is short.

Granted: 1913-11-27
Abstract: 27,789. Barbour, T. Dec. 3. Doffing-arrangements; driving-arrangements; thread-guides. - The direction of rotation of the tin-roller of spinning and twisting machines is reversed by a clutch d to unscrew the flyers while they are held by holders B, which are subsequently raised so that a pivoted and sliding holder H may dispose empty bobbins upon the lifter G, which is raised into the position shown in dotted lines by supplementary lifting-means. The flyer holders are shaped so that they will engage the flyers in any position, and are connected with a shaft b' carried in a nut, which, by means of a screw b<10> operated by a hand-wheel b<15> carries the holders forwards. During the forward movement, a pin b<17> on a rod b<16> connected with the shaft b' travels in a cam groove b<18> and depresses the holders so that they engage beneath the flyers, and a cam on the rod b<16> operates a spring catch and releases a weighted lever b<26>, so that it bears on the rod b<16> and presses the pin b<17> down the vertical portion of the groove b<18>, and so raises the flyer holders and flyers above the top of the spindles after they have been unscrewed by the reverse rotation of the tin-roller. For normal driving, the tin-roller shaft is clutched to a wheel d<2> fast on the driving- pulley and for reverse driving, to a wheel d' driven in the reverse direction by a train of gears d<5>, d<7>, d<8> from the wheel d<2>. The spindle is driven by a pin c<2> on the wharl, which for normal rotation engages a pin c<3> on a screwed boss on the spindle, but during the reverse rotation it engages a pin c<4> which is separated from the pin c<3> so that on reversal a sharp blow is imparted to the spindle for the purpose of loosening the flyer. The thread-guide plates are connected together by latches so that they may be lifted simultaneously to be out of the way of the bobbins, and the lifter is raised by means of a handle or hand wheel which is temporarily secured to the builder shaft by inserting a pin g<3> into the hole g<4> or g<5>. The empty bobbins are swept off the lifter plate, which is then lowered and a hand-lever h<4> is operated to bring the empty bobbin holders H over the spindles, whereupon a pin h<5> on the bobbin holder drops down the vertical part of a cam-groove h<6> and the bobbins are placed on the spindles.
