Granted: 1910-06-23
Abstract: 14,671. Thomas, B., Thomas, E., and Holme, E. M. June 23. Fluid-pressure, ram, and like apparatus; electric equipment.-Comprises electrical control apparatus for operating the valves of hydraulic cranes, in which for each movement of the switch the valve is moved through a definite range. Fig. 1 shows the application of the invention to a lift or mushroom valve. The valve spindle 2 is operated by electromagnets 7, 8, 9 through a weighted lever 4. The magnets 7, 8 are connected to the lever by slotted links 13, and the third magnet is connected directly to the lever. When the switch 50 is moved to the first contact 51, the magnet 7 is energized and the lever and valve are moved through a small definite range limited by an adjustable stop 16. At the second contact, the magnet 8 is energized and opens the valve wider ; while at the last contact, the magnet 9 is energized and opens the valve right out. In a modification adapted to operate a slide valve for sluing the crane, the valve is connected to one arm of a three-armed lever, the other two arms of which are operated by electromagnets so as to rock the lever in either direction. In another modification a separate valve operated by a single magnet is used for each step of the controller. An emergency electro-magnet may be placed in a separate electric circuit so as to hold a valve open against a weight or spring, so that if the current fails the magnet is de-energized and allows the valve to close and shut off the power supply.

Abstract: 2676. Robinson, W. Feb 3. Surface treatment with liquid or semi-liquid materials. - Relates to vehicles for distributing or spraying sand, salt, fertilizers, water, &c. on roads, fields, &c., and consists in providing special means for vibrating the shoot that delivers the material to the rotary distributor, and for breaking up any material that may have set or caked in the hopper. The vehicle comprises a hopper or receptacle c having a central bottom opening fitted with a sliding valve actuated by means of a lever d<2>. Extending from the opening to the rotary distributor h is a pivoted shoot f, supported by a pivoted rod f<2>, which is vibrated by a rotary cam p and a spring x. The cam p engages a roller carried by the rod f<2>, and is mounted on the shaft g of the distributing-disk h. The ribs h' on the disk h are tangential to a circle connecting their inner edges. The shaft g is driven by a chain l and a clutch and bevel-gearing enclosed in a box k<5>, the clutch being controlled by a lever r<2>. A semicircular guard-plate w causes the material to be thrown to the rear. The shoot f and plate w may be adjusted to throw the material to either side. To break up caked material, a boss provided with projecting arms may be raised and lowered in the hopper by a handwheel t' and screwed spindle s<2>, or a rack and pinion. Chains may connect the breaker arms with the sides of the hopper. For liquids and semi-liquids, a toothed bar is reciprocated above the valve opening by an eccentric on the shaft g. According to the Provisional Specification, a valve or tap may also be fitted in the wall of the hopper.

Title: Apparatus for Counting Bodies of Equal or almost Equal Thickness and Size and for Packing the same.
Inventor: KASTEELE FREDERICK ONLAND V D
IPC: G07D9/06
Filed: 1910-06-09
Granted: 1911-06-09
Abstract: 14,031. Kasteele, F. O. van de. June 9. Counters for coins. - In an apparatus for counting and packing coins &c., the coins are fed through a shoot to a rotating disk provided with holes for the reception of the coins, and thence pass down a channel to one of a number of packing-cylinders mounted on a disk rotated automati- . cally to bring succeeding cylinders into position beneath the c h a n n e l . Interchangeable gear-wheels are provided to allow different numbers of coins to be counted into the packing-cylinders. A sectional elevation of the apparatus is shown in Fig. 2. The coins are placed in a trough 1, and pass down an incline 3 under a guard 5 to a shoot 4, the movement being facilitated by the manual reciprocation of a plate 6 provided with a handle 7. The coins fall through holes in a disk 16, slightly thinner than the coins, on to a table 18, which is hollowed and spring - mounted to allow downwardly-bent coins to pass. To enable upwardlybent coins to be counted, the bottom end of the shoot 4 is held in ball bearings by means of two half-circular rings 27, 28; the ring 27 is secured by a screw 30 to a flange on the tube 4, and is pressed down by a spring 32. The screw 30 can be adjusted according to the thickness of the coints to be counted, and a plate may be inserted into the hollow of the table 18 to enable small coins to be counted. The disk 16 is rotated by the handle 43 through a changespeed gearing and bevel-wheels 42, whereby the coins are caused to pass down a channel 33 to packing-cylinders 38 mounted on a disk 39 provided with ratchet teeth 40. As the disk 16 revolves, a pin 48 upon a gear-wheel 47 driven therefrom releases a retaining pawl 50 at each revolution, and thus allows the disk 39 to be rotated automatically through the coiled spring 51 and regulator 52. If it is desired to count a different number of coins into the cylinders 38, the gear-wheel 47 and bridgepiece 53 may be removed and replaced by other gear-wheels provided with pins adapted to release the pawl 50 at a different frequency. A pin 65 may be projected into the path of the regulator 52 to hold the disk 39 so that the channel 33 may be rotated through an angle to allow the coins to pass into a sack. An index hand 66 attached to the spindle of the disk 16 indicates the units number of coins counted; the tens, hundreds, &c. are shown on drums through the opening 14. A hand 25 indicates the number of the packing-cylinder 38 being filled. When the supply of coins has run out, a rod 9 makes contact with a pillar 10 to complete an electric circuit and ring a bell.

Granted: 1911-07-27
Abstract: 10,639. Galletti, R. C. May 3, 1910, [Convention date]. Converting alternating currents.-For producing strongly-quenched spark discharges, applicable in rectifying high-potential alternating currents, a multiple spark gap D, D, Fig. 1, is arranged transversely to the equi-potential surfaces of an oscillatory electro-magnetic field produced by an Oudin resonator A. The sparkgap system D, D is composed of conductors which are long compared with the intervals between them, and is charged through a condenser F by a generator G, the unaided potential of which is not sufficient to break it down. The necessary extra potential is provided by the oscillatory field. Fig. 2 shows the application of the invention in rectifying high-potential alternating currents. A condenser K, charged from the alternating current mains H through a transformer J, is connected to a condenser Q through four spark-gap systems D', D<2>, D<3>, D<4>, which are cross-connected as shown and are under the influence of Oudin resonators A, A'. During one phase of the current in the mains H, the resonator A is excited through an aluminium rectifier L, transformer M, and sparkgap circuit P, N, O, and the condenser K discharges into the condenser Q through the sparkgap systems D<1>, D<2>, During the succeeding and opposite phase, the resonator A<1> is excited, and the condenser K discharges into the condenser Q through the spark-gap systems D<3>, D<4>. The discharges are always in the same sense with respect to the condenser Q, so that continuous current is delivered to the mains R,
