Inventor: ELLIS FRANK IRELAND
IPC: B21B13/12
Filed: 1909-04-03
Granted: 1909-06-10
Abstract: 8042. Ellis, F. I. May 4, 1908, [Convention date]. Rolling.-To facilitate the removal and replacement of the horizontal shaft that drives the vertical rolls of a universal mili having closed top housings and windows for the horizontal rolls, the bearings of this shaft are located in the windows. The horizontal rolls 4, 5 are carried in bearings 6, 7, which are mounted in windows of the housings 2, the top rolls being counterbalanced by the weight 8 and adjusted by screws 10 actuated by the motor 12. The vertical rolls 13 are carried in bearings 14 mounted on shoes 15, and are adjusted by screws 19. The horizontal rolls are driven directly by the shafts 22, and the vertical rolls by the shafts 21 through bevel-gears 17 and 16, the former gears being splined on the driving-shafts 18, which are mounted in halfbearings 23 in recesses in the upper parts of the windows in the housings 2. Suitable caps 24, kept in position by bolts 25, are employed to retain the shafts 18, but they may be removed, together with their bevels 17, if the caps 24, the bearings 7, and the breaker-blocks 27, are taken away.

Title: Improvements in Self-lubricating Cream Separators or Centrifugal Machines.
Inventor: ANKER-HOLTH SEVERIN CHRISTIAN
IPC: B04B7/14
Filed: 1909-05-19
Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 11,856. Holth, S. C. Anker-. May 19. Lubricant conveyed by mechanical means.-Relates to lubricating-arrangements for centrifugal cream-separators. The lower part of a hollow casing is closed by a cup-shaped oil receptacle 13, inged at 33 and secured by a pivoted bolt 34 and nut 35. The footstep bearing 15 of the spindle 1 is immersed in oil, which has access to the bearing-surfaces by a passage 19. The worm-wheel 6 that drives the spindle 1 dips into the oil and throws it into the upper part 23 of the casing to lubricate the shaft 9. A pait of the oil thus thrown is directed by a baffle-plate 26 into an oilcup 22, from which it passes by a pipe 24 to the bearing 4 of the spindle 1. The oil is maintained at a level 18 in the oil-chamber 13 by a device comprising two concentric pipes 27, 29, the inner of which is connected to a valved outlet 28. Normally, the lower part of the chamber 13 contains water up to the level of the lower end of the pipe 29, and the oil floats upon the water. Water is added from time to time, and the excess of water passes up the space between the pipes 27, 29 and escapes at the outlet 28. A shield 31 prevents oil from entering the upper end of the pipe 29. The shield 31 is attached to an horizontal plate 32 which serves to hold the adjacent portion of oil at rest, and to allow sediment to settle at the bottom of the chamber 13. The plate 32 is preferably of zinc and has an electrolytic action to prevent rusting of the bright shafts &c.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Paper Feeding Apparatus.
Inventor: ROEGER KARL
IPC: B65H3/02
Filed: 1909-07-31
Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 17,851. R÷ger, K. July 31 Feeding sheets; sheetseparators.-Relatesto friction devices for separating sheets from a pile, of the kind wherein the reciprocating feedroller seizes the top sheet at a given distance from the front edge, and consists in the provision of means whereby the distance through which the feed-roller moves is determined by the position of the top sheet. The top sheet is fed off by a roller 20 on a rod 20<a> pivoted to a bell-crank 6, and pressed on to the pile by a spring 22. A pawl 31 locks the roller 20 on the feed stroke but allows it to rotate freely on the return. The bell-crank 6 is oscillated by a cam 23 on the main shaft 3. Loosely mounted on a shaft 8 is a bell-crank 10, 18 oscillated by a cam 19 and having a pin 17 adapted to lift, at intervals, a series of feeler fingers 15 mounted loosely on the shaft 8. Each finger is located over an aperture 16 in the feed-table, and, when an aperture is not covered by a partly-fed sheet, the corresponding finger falls as shown. The feelers which do not fall arrest the hooked end 32 of a lever 24 supported on the arm 18 and pivoted to the bell-crank 6, thereby limiting the return of the feed-roll 20. The feelers 15 are then lifted by the arm 18, and the roll 20 advances to feed the sheet. The feed-table is faced with rubber to prevent the feed of more than one sheet. At the end of its forward motion, the roll 20 is lifted by an incline 14 to allow the sheet to pass to the machine. In the event of the sheet not having been fed forward, a preliminary feeder, Fig. 3, comes into operation. Mounted loosely on the shaft 8 is a bell-crank 46 and a projection 49 having a feeler 50 slidably connected thereto. Engaging with the feeler 50 is a lever 41, an extension 39 on which is adapted to engage and lift the feeder 33 from the pile of paper. The lever 41 and feeder 33 are pivoted on a sleeve sliding on a bar 34, connected at one end to a bell-crank 35 and at the other supported by a cord 34'. The motion of the lever 41 is limited by a stop 43 engaging a projection 44. If a sheet is already over the aperture 52, the arm 33 is held raised by the lever 41. Should no sheet be present, the feeler 50 falls and lowers the feeder 33 on to the pile. The bar 34 then advances, the slot 52 being elongated sufficiently to allow the feeler to recede in front of the sheet. The remainder of the pile is held by a presser-foot 54 on a rod parallel to the rod 34 and operated by stops 58, 59 on a collar 57 on the rod 34.

Abstract: 20,321. Robertson, D., and Boulton, Ltd., W. Sept. 6. Throwing and turning.-Relates to apparatus for shaping jars and other earthenware articles from plastic clay or similar material, the object being to allow the insertion of the mould, formation of the article, and removal of the mould to take place without stoppage of the machine. The mould j containing the clay to be shaped is placed in a carrier i supported by a frame c which is adapted to be reciprocated in vertical guides h on the table f by means of a bell-crank lever b<2>, b<3> which is pivoted at b<1> and operated by a cam c<1> on a shaft x rotated through worm gearing by the driving-shaft. When the frame c is in its lowest position, the carrier i is rotated by frictional engagement with a chuck k fixed to a rotary sleeve m ; and a shaping-tool b, carried by a reciprocable rod d' arranged eccentrically with regard to the mould j, is lowered into contact with the rotating clay mass by means of a cam e' on the shaft x acting on a lever e', which is connected by links and levers to a projecting arm g<1> on the rod d'. If the article to be made is to be undercut, the tool is partly rotated at the end of its downward movement by means of a spring- controlled rod k<1> engaging a projecting pin j<1> on the shaft d' and actuated through a lever k<2>, m<1> engaged by a cam m<2> on the shaft x. During the descent and ascent of the shaft d', the tool is kept in its usual position by a pin on the shaft engaging in a slot in a plate n<3> fixed to the frame a. The mould j is ejected from the carrier i, when the article is formed, by a disk t carried by a rod s sliding in the sleeve m and operated by a cam w on the shaft x. The disk t also serves to support the mould j prior to, and during the time in which the mould carrier i is being brought into contact with the revolving chuck k.

Title: Improvements in Controllers for Alternating Current Electric Motors.
IPC: H02P1/26
Filed: 1910-05-13
Granted: 1910-12-01
Abstract: 11,904. Adams Manufacturing Co., [Cutler Hammer Manufacturing Co.]. May 13. Systems for alternating-current motors only; controllers, actuating and retarding mechanism for. - A motor is started as a repulsion motor, but, as the controller switch drops against the restraining influence of a dash-pot, connexions are made so that the motor runs as an induction motor. The stator circuit of the motor is completed by a reversing-switch 2 of the drum type, mounted on the shaft 3 and operated by the crank 32. The controlling-switch has a sleeve 19 supporting brushes 22, 23, 24, 25. The brushes 23, 25 work on contact-strips 11, 15, while the brushes 22, 24 work on sets of contacts 12, 14 and 16, 18 respectively. A pin 31 on the crank 32 works in a slot 30 in a link 29 pivoted to the sleeve 19, so that the sleeve is permitted to fall when the crank 32 of the reversing-switch is moved from its uppermost position. The piston 35 of the dash-pot 33 is connected to the sleeve 19 to retard its fall. When the crank 32 is turned for forward movement, the contacts 6<a>, 6<b> engage the fingers 7<a>, 7<c>, and the contacts 6<c>, 6<d> engage the fingers 7<e>, 7<f> respectively. A circuit is completed from the main 53 through the switch to the point 38 on the stator winding, through the two halves of the stator winding to the point 40, and back to the main 56. The commutator brushes 46, 47 are connected bv a resistance 58 so that the motor starts as a repulsion motor. After the closure of the reversing-switch, the brushes 22, 23, 24, 25, which are connected together, begin to descend. When the brushes 22, 24 reach the contacts 14, 18, the brushes 48, 49, 50 of the motor slip rings are connected to resistances 51, 52, and further movement cuts out the resistances. The motor during this time runs as an induction motor. If the crank 32 be moved to operate the reversing - switch in the opposite direction, the contact segments 6a, 6<b> engage the finger 7<d>, 7<f>, and the stator current enters the winding at the point 41 and leaves at the point 39, so that the direction of armature rotation is reversed.

Title: Improvements in Telephone Exchanges with Automatic Call Distributors.
Filed: 1910-11-30
Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 27,860. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Dec. 9, 1909, [Convention date]. Semi-automatic exchange systems.-Relates to systems of the kind in which a calling subscriber is connected by preliminary selector apparatus to a disengaged operator. It is arranged that an operator's test lead is made busy only when that operator and the adjacent operators are busy, and lamp-calling circuits are provided to indicate to the adjacent operators that a call is to be attended to by them on the busy operator's panel. Fig. 1 shows the subscriber T connected to the operator's position P<3>. The connexion is made by the relay AR closing the contact 1 and hence bringing the actuating-magnet D into circuit until an idle test lead c is reached, whereupon a circuit is completed over the winding d, contact 4, the relay E, and lead p<3> to earth. The relay E closes the contact d, thus completing a circuit over the lamp AL<1> and windings DR<3>, CR<3>, and BR3. The armature of the relay CR<3> completes the circuit of the lamp CL<3> and of the winding f. The armature g of the relay BR<3> breaks the ground connexion at this panel, but the line p<3> is not made busy so long as a ground connexion can be obtained over the lead r<3> or l<3> at adjacent panels. A further call over the line p<3> now actuates say the lamp AL<2>, and the additional current in the winding e is sufficient to overbalance the relay DR' and close the contact h. The contact completes the circuit of the lamp Lr<3> and the relay BR<4>. The lamp Lr<3> indicates to the operator of panel P<4> that a call requires his attention on the panel P<3>, and the relay BR<4> renders the panel P<4> busy. An additional relay is provided to pass on a third call at the panel P<3> to the lamp Ll<3> of the panel P<2>, and a contact i of the relay CR<4> is provided to pass on a call at the panel P<3> to the panel P<2> when a call is being dealt with on the panel P<4>.
