Granted: 1913-07-03
Abstract: 24,907. Pickup, W. Oct. 31. Disk and like mills; edge-runners and pans and like mills.-In machines for grinding liquid colours, paints, gums, clays, &c., in which the verticallyadjustable bottom of a vessel has a bevelled edge and rotates opposite a corresponding bevel on the lower edge of the vessel, a number of perforated or slotted grinding - d i s k s a r e superposed upon the bottom of the vessel, the uppermost disk being rotated in the same direction as the bottom disk, and the intermediate disk or disks being stationary but vertically movable. The bottom b, Figs. 1 and 2, of the vessel a is secured to a vertical shaft h supported in an adjustable footstep l, and the top and bottom disks c, c are secured to a vertical shaft i mounted in a bearing k. The shafts h, i are driven by bevel-gearing from cross-shafts o, p, and the shaft o may be driven by chain gearing from the shaft p. Set-screws g on the vessel engage in recesses f in the periphery of the intermediate disk d. One or more conical rollers w carried in lugs v on the vessel rest on, and are rotated frictionally by, the top disk c, and serve to crush any gritty matter present in the colour &c. before it enters the grinding-disks. Grooves y, Fig. 3, are formed in the slotted disks to spread the material over the faces of the disks. The ground material discharged between the bevelled edges z of the vessel a and bottom b is removed by a plate 2, and one or more holes 3 may be provided in the vessel adjacent to the edges z and fitted with cocks or valves 4 for drawing-off the ground colour &c. According to the Provisional Specification, the uppermost disk rotates in the same direction as the bottom of the vessel, and a single conical roller rotates above the top disk.

Title: Hydraulic and Compressed Air Lock and Apparatus for use on Railway Carriage and Vehicle Doors.
Inventor: YOUNG DAVID
IPC: E05B65/36
Filed: 1912-11-12
Granted: 1913-11-12
Abstract: 25,919. Young, D. Nov. 12. Pneumatically and hydraulically operated fastenings; railway-carriage doors and the like, fastening automatically.-Relates to the type in which the locks are operated hydraulically or by compressed air or vacuum by means of pumps driven from the carriage axle. In the case of compressed air, the pumps draw the air from a tank, which is fitted with a valve for retaining a slight pressure therein, and force it into the train-pipe B connected to the locks in which the upward movement of the piston C depresses the latch H against the action of .a spring I. A two-way cock K is provided for cutting-out any particular lock. Release of all the locks is obtained by opening a valve fitted on the trainpipe. A regulator is provided whereby the pumps are thrown out of operation when the pressure reaches a predetermined value. This regulator is interposed between a rod N, Fig. 4, oscillated by a crank and eccentric on the carriage axle, and the ratchet lever P which drives the pump axle, and comprises a piston 185 within a cylinder R, the movement of the piston being controlled by a valve connected to the trainpipe, so as to raise the intermediate coupling O. A friction clutch on the pump axle is provided in the guard's van for throwing the pump out of action at any time. The modifications of the tank and pumps necessary for operation of the locks hydraulically or by vacuum are described. As a reserve to be utilized in the case of the break-down of the pumps and to be controlled by the driver instead of the guard, a pressure-tank is provided, connected with the locks and adapted to be automatically maintained at a particular steam pressure by means of a reducing-valve.

Granted: 1913-12-04
Abstract: 11,465. Strandh, H. I. F. June 10, 1912, [Convention date]. Shoots.-Bottles are conveyed from a higher to a lower level, for instance in glass works to an annealing-oven, by means of an inclined plane 2 terminating in a steeply inclined or vertical end, and a pivoted suspended plate 3 bent towards the steep incline at its lower end. The bottle is fed transversely so that its base strikes against a wire netting or like wall 6, and rolls down the plane, being checked by a swinging plate 4. The bottle then rolls down between the steeply inclined end and the plate 3, and is deposited on the inclined plane 7 beneath. A series of planes 2 and plates 3 may be arranged to convey the bottles in a more or less inclined direction, or a series of plates 3 may be arranged one above the other.

Granted: 1913-12-24
Abstract: 16,237. Young, H. July 15. Slide-rules.-In circular logarithmic rules, the scales are marked in clockwise and counterclockwise directions on the base-plate and the calculations are made by the aid of a transparent disk and pointer which are secured centrally to the plate by an eyelet so as to be independently or simultaneously rotatable and are engraved with index lines f, g, respectively. The method of applying the instrument to calculations, according to a given formula, of the horsepower transmissible by toothed gearing is described, the scales a, a1, a2 and b for the number of teeth and for the revolutions per minute being set out counterclockwise and the scales c, d for the pitch of the teeth and the length of the face, stress, and horsepower clockwise. The position of the decimal point in the result is ascertained by noticing the number of times the index line on the disk passes the letters A, B, C on the base-plate. Instead of the eyelet connexion, the transparent disk may be guided by a case of watch form.

Abstract: 19,613. Rundlof, E. A. Sept. 12, 1913, [Convention date]. Cylinders receiving liquid fuel.-In order to direct the spray of fuel towards the hotter part of the vaporizer at starting or during light loads, and to the cooler part during heavy loads, a jet of compressed air, gas, or steam is employed. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the fuel when injected alone is supplied to the conduit 3 and issues through the nozzle into a divergent stream 4, which reaches the hot part of the vaporizer 1 ; but if the gaseous medium is injected simultaneously through the valve 2, the fuel is directed towards the jacketed part of the vaporizer. In another form, the air nozzle is external to the fuel nozzle and arranged at an angle to it. This method can be used for starting the engine by first heating the vaporizer.

Abstract: 22,502. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, [Obrecht, N. L., and Skillman, H., trading as O. & S. Bearing Co.]. Nov. 13. Pivot and joint pins.-A bearing for shafts, spring shackles, &c. is fitted with a bush of expansible material, which is compressed during the assemblage of the parts of the bearing. The material described is sheet asbestos impregnated with graphite. The bush C, formed by winding a strip of the prepared material cut with angular ends fitting together, is confined between flanges F in the bearing A, and is compressed by a conical portion D of the shaft E, which is driven through the bearing. The strip may be compressed initially by means of a tapering mandrel. In a modification, the inner part of the bearing is flanged, and the outer part is contracted by forcing it through a hollow tapering die or a series of rollers; or the inner tubular member of a bearing may be expanded by a tapering mandrel. The asbestos is impregnated by treating it with a mixture of powdered graphite, oil, and paraffin, the two last being driven out by the subsequent compression.
