Abstract: 7255. Schwab, J. March 25. [Addition to 6767/12.] Flues, external.-In a multibular boiler, the furnace gases pass once beneath the boiler shell in one direction and then pass successively backwards and forwards through groups of fluetubes. In the boiler shown, the flue between the end of the boiler shell and the setting is divided by a transverse baffle 11, which compels the gases, after passing beneath the boiler shell, to pass forwards through the lower group of tubes D and backwards through the upper group C. The gases may then pass along the top of the boiler to the uptake G, or they may pass directly into an uptake at the back of the boiler.

Title: Improvements relating to Balancing Mechanism for Aerial and other Vehicles.
Inventor: CLOUD JOHN WILLS
IPC: B64C11/00
Filed: 1912-09-19
Granted: 1913-09-18
Abstract: 21,384. Cloud, J. W. Sept. 19. [Cognate Application, 22,553/12.] Propelling.-In vehicles for land, marine, or aerial transport having propelling-mechanism involving rotating masses which are not of uniform moment of inertia in all radial directions, the gyroscopic effects caused by such masses when the course of the vehicle is altered are neutralized by (1) similarly non-uniform masses rotated in the opposite direction at a multiple speed, or (2) the addition of complementary masses to make up the want of uniformity and the provision of uniform masses corresponding to the combination and rotated in the opposite direction. The counterbalancing and main masses may be mounted on the same or parallel axes. (1) The application to a two-bladed propeller AB is shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the gyroscopic effects being neutralized by corresponding masses a, b rotated at twice the speed in the opposite direction. The masses are arranged to pass the vertical position when the propeller blades are vertical, as shown in Fig. 5, and additional masses C, D are arranged to rotate with the propeller for neutralizing the gyroscopic effects of the masses a, b when in the position shown in Fig. 6. The masses C, D may be propeller blades, and the principle may be extended to cases in which the masses a, b rotate at higher multiples of the propeller speed. According to the Provisional Specification 21,384/12, the gyroscopic effects of a non- uniform rotating mass, such as a screw propeller, may be neutralized by a similar mass or propeller or weighted fly-wheel rotating at the same speed in the opposite direction. According to the Provisional Specification 22,553/12, in cases where a rotating engine drives a propeller in the opposite direction, such may be provided with counterbalancing-masses for the other. (2) In Fig. 11 the propeller AB is shown arranged in connexion with complementary masses K, L, the combination being balanced by an oppositely-rotating mass M. In an aerial machine having a propeller driven by rotating- cylinder engine, both the engine and the propeller may be provided with complementary masses, and be geared together to rotate oppositely. Similarly, a pair of oppositely-rotating propellers may be provided with complementary masses. Figs. 14 and 15 show a three-bladed marine propeller 1 provided with complementary masses 6, 7, 8 and a counterbalancing-mass 10.

Abstract: 21,738. Gerdau, B. Sept. 24. Casting - machines ; moulds ; mould jackets.- Ingot-casting machines are arranged to compress the ingot both longitudinally and transversely, the top of the ingot remaining free and being heated if desired. The mould consists of longitudinal sections b connected as shown in Fig. 3 and mounted on a base k, l, Fig. 1, and within a jacket f flanged to support the base and movable on rails &c. r to and from the pouring-station After casting, the mould is advanced into the jacket by a ram o, rollers g facilitating the movement. The plates x yield during the movement, allowing the mould sections to close together as shown in Fig. 4. At the same time, the ingot is advanced in the mould by the ram n ; controlling valves being provided at 1, 2. The top of the mould may be heated by a swivel burner c and a core may be inserted by screw gear u pivotally mounted on a standard v. The core may depress a part h of the mould base normally held in place by a spring m. In the arrangement described, hydraulic pressure is supplied by a ram, screw and worm-gear operated from an electromotor, but rams other than hydraulic may be employed.

Abstract: 22,420. Young, J. W. Oct. 2. Reels, rod.-A fishing-reel is turned by means of a toothed quadrant 14, which engages with a pinion 8 having an inclined clutch tooth or teeth adapted to engage in one direction with one or more teeth on the reel. The quadrant is oscillated by means of a'lever 3, which is provided with a spring 15 to return it to its normal position.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Keyboard and Differential Mechanism for Adding and like Machines.
Inventor: SIMS FREDERICK LINDLEY HUNT
Filed: 1912-12-30
Granted: 1913-09-11
Abstract: 29,966. Sims, F. L. H. Dec. 30. Adding - apparatus; combination keyboards. -Relates to one-hand keyboard mechanism for use with adding - machines and like registers, addition up to five being performed by the depression of one key, and from six to nine by the depression of the ' five' key together with another key. The amount is added by the differential movement of a guided rack 9 engaging a long pinion 16 which is clutched to a spindle 14 carrying a pinion 13 gearing with any required indicating or totalizing apparatus. The rack 9 is engaged by a pin on a vertically-guided bar 1 which can be rocked about either end, the ends having pins 3 entering balls 4 in split tubes 5 with screw caps for taking-up wear. The tubes are attached to sleeves 6 loose on a rod 7, the inner and adjacent ends of the sleeves having arms 48. The right-hand sleeve, tube, and arm are joined by a bar 29 against which bear the roller-carrying ends of the one, two, and three numeral keys, the four key acting under the right-hand tube 5, the ' five' key under the left-hand tube. The arms 48 have projections to engage a pair of oppositely-set locking-pawls 50, so that depression of a key raises one end of the bar 1 and locks the other, play being allowed to enable two keys to be moved together. Stop arms 54 with adjustable screws 55 are thrown over by pins 56 on the one, two, and three keys to limit the movement of the frame 29 and the right-hand tube 5. Movement of the extreme keys is limited by stops 69. A short initial part of the key movement is communicated by a yoke 38, 37 to an arm 33, similar to the tube arms 5, which actuates a toggle 31 for throwing a rectangular toothed clutch sleeve 18 into gear with the pinion 16, thereby connecting it with the shaft of the pinion 13. The sleeve 18 slides on a key 20 on the shaft, and has a collar to bear against an internal collar on the pinion 16. A spring 44 turns a pinion 43 on a countershaft in gear with the pinion 16, so as to justify the movement of the pinion 13 by causing a ratchetwheel 41 attached thereto to engage a spring pawl 40, an arm 46 on the shaft of the pinion 43 being provided to engage the ratchet-wheel 41 at the end of the return movement so as to ensure correct engagement with the pawl 40 at the finish. Full-stroke mechanism. - Full-stroke of the key or keys is ensured by curved arms 58 on a shaft 59 rocked by a pin-and-slot connexion from the yoke 38, a non-return ratchet 65 and pawl being fitted to the shaft; the pawl holds the shaft until a marking segment 67 raises the pawl when the stroke is complete, the inner edge of the arms 58 being so curved as to necessitate both keys, if two are depressed, being completely actuated.
