Abstract: 10,687. Reynolds, C. J. April 30. Angular bending; bending-formers. - In a sweep-arm tube-bender, the tube is stretched and ovaled at the place and moment of bending by an internal mandrel. The tube is pushed through a clamp d over a mandrel m and against an adjustable stop 1, Fig. 3. The handle j is then moved in a clock-wise direction, thereby clamping the tube because of the camsurface g and bending it round the former a, the mandrel m being clamped at o and supported by an adjustable block r and a roller q running thereon. The former a has a groove slightly narrower and deeper than half the tube, and to force the bent tube out of the groove a rod u and lever t are employed. In a modification, Fig. 4, the clamp is on the fixed base c and consists of a block e actuated by a screw 3 working in a bridge 4, which engages grooves in the adjustable frame 7, so that one movement of the handle 8 loosens the clamp and slides it entirely free, thus facilitating the removal of the tube. The mandrel m has an adjustable stop 1 which can be moved by the handle 18 to force the bent tube out of the former a. A stop 21 to limit the angle to which the tube is to be bent may be employed. Both forms may be operated by power.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Electrically Driven Clocks.
Inventor: BENTLEY PERCIVAL ARTHUR
IPC: G04C3/027
Filed: 1910-08-13
Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 19,044. Bentley, P. A. Aug. 13. Electric clocks. - Relates to electric clocks of the kind in which a pendulum reciprocates a commutating-switch to effect the necessary reversals of the current in the coil or coils by which the oscillations are maintained. The switch comprises a carriage a, Fig. 1, mounted on two wheels b, insulated preferably bv jewelled bearings. The wheels run on two pairs of contact rails F, G, the front rail of each pair being formed in two sections, and the rear rail in three sections. The battery o, the coil j carried by the pendulum, and the sections of the rails are interconnected as shown in Fig. 3, the coil j being included in the circuit through the pendulum suspension-springs k, Fig. 1. As the carriage a is reciprocated by adjustable tappers r, s mounted on the pendulum, the wheels, which, when the pendulum is swinging normally, are always in contact with the central rear sections f<2>, g<2>, connect these parts with the sections f<5>, g<4> and f<4>, g<5> of the front rails alternately, thus sending currents in the proper directions through the coil j. If the amplitude of swing exceeds the normal amount, the wheels pass on to the side sections f<1>, g<3> or f<3>, g<1>, the direction of the current then being such as to damp the oscillations. In this way, the amplitude of swing is kept constant. Instead of the wheels b, sliding contacts may be used, and the relative positions of the contact-rails may be varied. A modification of the electrical connexions is also described. It is stated that a suitable battery consists of elements of zinc and carbon embedded in the earth. According to the Provisional Specification, in which a somewhat different arrangement of contacts and connexions is described, one rail of each pair is continuous and the other is divided into two parts; an insulating-part is provided at the outer end of one of the rails of each pair, so that the current is interrupted if the amplitude of swing becomes excessive.

Gas analysis.-Appa ratus in which the gas is mixed with another gas, and the change in volume noted after producing chemical reaction between them, is provided with separate measuring - devices for the two gases, between which a liquid seal is arranged, serving as a mixing chamber for the gases and as a non- return valve for one or both of them. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the vessel b serves to measure the gas to he tested, and the vessel c the added gas. Pipes k, l from these vessels are sealed in the chamber d, in which the gases are mixed, and from which they pass into the reaction tube f, the volume of gas remaining being determined by the bell g. Gas escapes by the tube n as the liquid piston falls. By extending the vessel c beyond the upper level of the vessel b, it is arranged that at the end of the test, the mixing-chamber and connexions shall be filled with neutral gas, which will have no effect on a succeeding test. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 2, the pipe n from the added-gas measuring-vessel c alone is sealed, the pipe o from the vessel b opening into the mixing-chamber d. The gases, after passage through the reaction tube f, pass into a vessel g<1> containing liquid, which is forced into a vessel g<2> and effects a record in the bell g. In this construction, the 'gas passes back into the vessel b on the fall of the liquid piston and is discharged by a current of fresh gas supplied through suitable pipes.
