Inventor: DEUERLING GEORG
IPC: C09H9/02
Filed: 1912-11-27
Granted: 1913-05-08
Abstract: 27,281. Deuerling, G. Nov. 27. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Albuminoids, artificial films containing. - Apparatus for preparing edible gelatine comprises a rotary cooling-wheel divided into several circumferential cooling-chambers each having a separate inlet and outlet for the cooling- material, means for supplying the liquid gelatine smoothlv to the wheel, and means for taking off the solidified gelatine and for drying it. In operation, a controlled flow of liquid gelatine runs into a distribution trough 3, Figs. 1 and 2, provided with a partition 6 under which the gelatine passes to flow down an inclined plane 9 on to the slowly rotating wheel 10. By the time any given point of the wheel has reached its lowest position, the gelatine thereon is sufficiently hardened, under the action of the cooling- chambers 28, to continue adherence during the upward movement. During the upward passage, the gelatine film is cut into longitudinal strips by cutting-rollers 11, and these are stripped off the top of the wheel by a rake 14, which turns the strips over an endless apron 16 on which they are cut into squares by a transverse cutter 12 and by which the squares are carried on to a long double endless band of net 19 situated in a drying-chamber 17. Between rollers 20 which carry the upper run of the net band 19, ventilators 21 throw the hot air towards the gelatine squares: At the farther end, the band runs over a drum 22 of diameter so large that the gelatine squares do not drop off from the net-work but are carried back to the front end, where the band takes a strong bend over a roller 23 so that the squares fall off and down an inclined plane into a collector 27 or on to a conveying-band. The removal may be assisted by a rake 25. In a modification, a heated drum is substituted for the long band 19, which may or may not be cloaked by a relatively short net band.

Abstract: 18,982. Flynn, F. W., and Marley, F. Aug. 21. Actuating. - Clockwork mechanism for operating gas - valves comprises a pair of adjustable ramps 7, 8 which alternately lift a rotary hammer 24 mounted on a spring arm and allow it to drop at predetermined times, thereby rocking a pivoted frame 18, the detent 21 of which releases a spring-actuated mechanism for turning on or off the gas-valve. The inclines 7, 8 are carried by disks 5, 6 loosely mounted on a sleeve of a rotating disk 3, and they are automatically adjusted according to the seasons of the year by a stud 30 on the disk 3 which actuates a star-wheel 31 connected through toothed gearing 32, 33, 34, 35, &c. with a disk 29. The rotation of the disk 29 is communicated to the shaft 43 through a rod 28 and rack 26, as shown, from which, through gear-wheels 44, 47, the disks 5, 6 carrying the ramps are adjusted. In operation, a disk carrying the hammer 24 is secured to the sleeve of the disk 3, and as it is rotated, travels up the ramps until it falls on one of the guides 20 at the ends of the pivoted frame 18. This lifts the detent 21 from engagement with one of the oppositely-placed studs 22 on a disk 15<a>, and allows a similar disk 15 connected to the valve to be rotated. The segmental inclines 23 are provided to return the detent gradually after release from one of the studs. In the Provisional Specification, it is stated that there may be substituted for the mechanism controlling the escapement electro-magnet circuits energized by a primary or secondary battery, closed by contacts controlled by the clock-work. The arrangement is also stated to be applicable to signal lamps, illuminated signs, &c.

Granted: 1914-11-12
Abstract: 27,665. Otis Elevator Co., [Otis Elevator Co.]. Dec. 1. Centrifugal governors; inertia governors.-Governors for actuating an elevator safety device in the event of excessive speed comprise a pair of weights 5, 6, Fig. 1, pivoted at 7, 8 to spokes of a sheave 1, which is rotated by a cable 2 connected to the elevator and to the safety device S, Fig. 3. The weights are tied together by links 9, 10 which are constrained by telescopic adjustable spring devices 15 bearing at one end upon a spoke. The weights are provided with rollers 11 which, during the rotation of the sheave as the elevator moves, are thrown outward against the action of the spring devices 15 once per revolution, independently of the speed, by the nose 13 or by a depression of a fixed but adjustable cam 12. If the speed of the elevator is excessive, the pivoted weights remain in their outward position, assisted by centrifugal force, sufficiently long to engage a trip 30 upon a bifurcated arm 19 pivoted at 20. The arm carries a spring- pressed brake block 25 which by the engagement of the weights with the trip 30 is pressed into engagement with the cable 2 and holds the sheave and cable fixed. The continued movement of the elevator brings into action the safety-mechanism S, Fig. 3, which is connected with the cable 2 by the cord 31. In reversing the elevator after the safety device has acted, the brake block is automatically released and the governor resets itself. In the arrangement shown, the governor acts by the combined effect of inertia and centrifugal force, but by varying the size of the cam and its position in relation to the trip 30, the governor may be made to operate by centrifugal force alone or by inertia alone. In the former case, the function cf the cam is merely to keep the weights in motion to prevent sticking. As described, the governor is designed to operate the safety device when the elevator is descending, but the governor may be arranged to operate in either direction.
