Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Regulating Devices for Electric Supply Systems.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1911-03-25
Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 7530. Lake, W. E., [United States Light and Heating Co.]. March 25. Lighting systems; regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for.-The generator of a system containing a battery is normally regulated for constant current; but upon a predetermined rise of voltage due to the state of the battery, a vibrating voltage relay operates to control the circuit of a voltage coil on the regulator. The voltage relay may be provided with an additional winding to aid its action. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the circuit of the shunt field winding 2 contains a variablepressure rheostat 5 normally controlled bv a series winding 8 through a bell-crank lever 6. The core of the winding 8 is also provided with a voltage coil 9 normally short-circuited by the reed 10 of a vibratory relay R. The vibrating relay R is provided with a voltage coil 11, while an auxiliary coil 12 may also be provided. A connecting and disconnecting switch 13 is placed between the dynamo and the external circuit, this switch being provided with a voltage coil 14 and a series winding 15. Assuming the generator to be starting from rest, the value of the resistance 5 in the field circuit of the generator is a minimum while the field winding 2 is mainly excited from the battery 3 through a resistance 18. When the generator voltage reaches a predetermined value, the switch 13 connects the dynamo to the external circuit, and the regulator operates to control the current output of the dynamo. When the battery 3 nears its fully-charged condition, the dynamo voltage rises, and the voltage coil 11 of the relay R causes the reed 10 to vibrate, thereby intermittently energizing the voltage coil 9 of the regulator to increase the resistance 5 in the field circuit of the generator. In this way.the battery-charging current is diminished, the diminution increasing as the battery nears its fully-charged condition. In a modification, the winding 8 of the regulator is placed in the battery circuit in order that a constant current may be supplied to the battery and a varying current to the lamp circuit 4. The vibrating relay R may be provided with an additional winding which is cut out after it has operated; or, in the modification shown in Fig. 4, this additional winding 12 is placed in series with the winding 9 after the relay has operated. In another modification, the winding 12 is normally short-circuited, and is energized to oppose the winding 11 after the relay has operated. The core 20 and fixed contact 21 cf the relay are adjustably mounted. The arrangement is stated to be applicable to carlighting, and may be mounted on one panel.

Title: Improvements in Feeding Machines for Carding Engines and the like.
Inventor: FISHER DANIEL CALVIN
IPC: D01G23/04
Filed: 1911-08-01
Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 17,485. Fisher, D. C. Aug. 1. [Addition to 26,692/07.] Feeding carding-engines.-The intermittentlymoving transferring apron 22 is provided with clutch mechanism which will hold it against any retrograde motion from the point at which its operative motion ceases. The upper shaft 23, Fig. 5, which carries the transferring apron is supported in a bearing a mounted in a yoke fixed to the casing and carries a cup-shaped casting g which is roughened internally. Part of the bearing a is cut away to form a flat face l, and a roll k is placed in the space thus formed. Any retrograde motion of the shaft 23 forces the roll into the wedge-shaped space. The slats 26, Fig. 6, of the transferring-apron bear against adjustable antifriction rolls m, whereby the teeth 27 of the apron may be adjusted laterally with reference to the teeth of the combs 29, 45. To prevent the escape of fibres from the machine, there is provided a wall q, Fig. 3, parallel with the down stretch of the transferring-apron 22, and a curved perforated pan r at the bottom, which meets the bottom t of the chamber 20. The bottom t has a curved portion conforming to the curve of the apron a a. The scale-pan 82 is supported at one side by a lever having a counterbalance, and at the other side by a lever 80, Fig. 2, having a pendant-weight v to which definite removable weights w may be added. The fibre delivered from the scale pan 82 is pressed forward by the oscillatory compressor pins 99, Fig. 3, under the roller a<1> which carries the pins, and under a plain roller b', which revolves at the same surface speed as the apron 96. When the fibre has been passed forward by the compressor 99 to such an extent that the compressor is able to make its full oscillation, a cam n<1>, Fig. 11, which is keyed to the hub of the toothed segment 101 driving the roller a<1>, comes into contact with a projection m<1> at the end of a lever and releases a catch f<1>; this allows a weighted pinion 117 to revolve and operates by means of a pin and lever 130 the lids 133 of the scale-pan, to allow the fibre to fall on to the apron 96. The segment 101 is driven from the main shaft by a crank r<1> and link q', and is mounted upon a sleeve o<1> keyed to the shaft 102. A pin u<1> on an arm t' takes between two of the spokes of the segment. A spiral spring o<1>, the tension in which can be adjusted, is secured at one end to the cam n<1> and at the other end to a worm-wheel v'. If it is desired to impart a variable motion to the rock-shaft 102, a gear o<2>, Fig. 12, driven from the main shaft 39, carries an adjustable crankpin q<2> which engages in a curved slot r<2> in an arm s<2> carried by the shaft 102. The slot is formed to give a quick withdrawal of the compressor pins 99 from their operative position, a slow motion in the other direction, and a dwell while the pins are in contact with the fibre at the end of the movement.

Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 19,433. Fincato, P. Aug. 31. Cleaning clothes, fabrics, fibres, and the like.-Woollen, cotton, and other yarns are cleaned, dyed, and washed by passing them between upper and lower longitudinally corrugated rollers a, b, c, d, which rotate at the same peripheral speed, and are automatically reversed after having made a certain number of revolutions in either direction. A number of pairs of rollers are arranged on each side of the machine, those on one side being driven independently of those on the other side. Each of the upper rollers c, d is mounted on a bell-crank lever m, so that all of these rollers on either side may be raised or lowered by longitudinal adjustment of a rod i, each bell-crank lever being also adjustable independently. The fluid is discharged on to the yarn. by perforated pipes e, and tanks B are placed beneath the rollers. The automatic reversing gear for the rollers is shown in Figs. 7 and 9. The clutch member q is shifted by a lever s<1> with a weight s at its upper end, whenever the driven shaft has made a number of revolutions sufficient to bring the lever from either extreme position to its middle position, when it falls over and reverses the gear. This movement of the lever is brought about by a screw u, geared to the driven shaft, and giving a reciprocating motion to arms x that engage the lower end of the lever. The number of revolutions made in either direction before reversal may be varied by adjusting the distance between the arms x by means of the right- and left-handed screw y.

Abstract: 5523. Adams, A. L. March 5. Cameras, reflex; with baseboards and tailboards folding; baseboard extensions and like fittings for; fronts for.-A reflex camera is constructed with a folding baseboard C and an extensible bellows in two parts E, J secured to a middle frame D and to the camera body B and lens front A respectively. The frames D, A are pulled forward on opening the camera by a handle D<1> on the frame D which projects through the frame A. When the bellows E are extended, the frame D is locked to the baseboard C by spring bolts D<2>, Fig. 5, which engage notches C<3> in the cam plates C<2>. Simultaneously also the front A is locked by the spring bolts A<4> to the extension C<1>, which can be racked forward for focusing. The front A can also be locked anywhere on the extension C<1> by means of the releasable locking-bolts A<4>. In closing the camera, the bolts A<4> are retracted by the handles A<2>, and when the frame A is adjacent to. the frame D projections (not shown) on the bolts A<4> engage the arms D<4> and retract the spring bolts D<2> from the notches C<3>. The front A is fitted with a rising and falling lens, and to obtain a requisite amount of adjustment with a limited space a construction is described in which the lens panel is connected to a flexible band or the like which rolls up when the lens is in normal position. In the closed position of the camera, the focusing-screen N and mirror I are against the back of the camera, and the viewing-hood F is folded down with the hinged top B<1> and lies between the front A and the baseboard C. When the camera is opened, the hood is automatically raised into position for viewing the focusing-screen, which is turned up into position by an exterior handle on the spindle N', this handle being locked in the operative and closed positions. When in the operative position, the screen N fixes the frame D rigidly in position. The mirror I is raised by a spring into the focusing position and there retained by a catch. In the viewing-hood a safety cover G is connected with the mirror by a flexible connexion H or otherwise, in such a manner that when the mirror is released for an exposure the cover G is moved into the dotted position to prevent light from entering through the focusing-screen; and subsequently, when the mirror is raised up to the focusing- screen, the exposure shutter is released. Shutters such as described in Specifications 2485/07 and 25,849/08 may be used with the camera. Specification 21,588/09 is also referred to as illustrating a method of mounting and operating the mirror.

The carton blank, with or without a superposed lining-blank, is placed between guides on a table 27, Fig. 1, and is forced through an aperture 63 by one of a series of formers 40 carried by sprocket-chains 38. Immediately before the blank begins to move, a hinged plate 89 turns the front up against the former, and wings 102, Fig. 12, hinged to the plate 89 are operated to turn the front end flaps against the ends of the former. As the former and blank move down, the front of the blank is held by guide-bars 103 and the bottom end flaps are turned up by bars 106. If a lining is used, it is held in place at this time by camoperated fingers 49. The back and cover of the carton are then folded against the former by guide-members 64, 64<a>, after which the back end flaps are turned in by guides 77. The locking-tongues of the back end flaps are afterwards engaged by grooves in arms 122, which are operated to move the back and cover of the carton back against an inclined guide 67. Rollers 118 are then pressed against the front end flaps to open the slits therein, recesses 41 in the former permitting the necessary yielding of the material, and the locking-tongues are inserted in the slits by cam-operated hinged plates 69, which turn the carton back and cover again into a vertical position.. The carton is then knocked off the former by a finger 62, which is caused to enter a slot 41<a> in the back of the former, and falls between guides 133 on to a conveyer 132. In a modification, the wings 102 on the plate 89 are dispensed with, the bottom end flaps are turned up, as shown in Fig. 21, by fixed guides, and the front and back end flaps are afterwards successively folded by fixed curved guides.
