Title: Improvements in and connected with Intercommunication between Railways of Different Gauges.
Inventor: LOUIS MARIE CHARLES SERIZIER
IPC: B61D3/20
Filed: 1912-03-29
Abstract: 7696. Serizier. L. M. C. March 30, 1911, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Framing; vehicles with removable bodies.-The bodies of railway vehicles are adapted to be removed from their underframes and transferred to underframes having wheels of different gauge or on to ferryboats, special arrangements for effecting the transfer being provided on the track and on the ferryboat. The body of each vehicle is strengthened underneath by channel-irons 3, Fig. 2, which engage within the frames 5 of the narrowgauge trucks and outside additional beams on the broad-gauge trucks. Channel-iron guides 8 on the ends of the truck prevent longitudinal movement. At a junction between two railways of different gauge, a section of track is laid with lines 10, 11, Fig. 1, of both gauges, and turntables 9 are provided at intervals. When a train is run on to the section, rollers 13 on the carriage bodies run on rails 12 supported above the sides of the track. The underframes are then removed from the bodies by lowering the turntables, the bodies remaining supported on the rails 12, and are run on to cross-tracks 14, or 15 at a lower level than the main track. Underframes of different gauge are run on to the turntables from the opposite side of the track and are brought into engagement with the bodies by raising the turntables. Ferryboats are provided with rails corresponding to the rails 12 so that the bodies can be run on to them after their underframes have been removed. Lifts for lowering wagon bodies into the hold are also provided. To prevent movement of the bodies and underframes at the turntables, the arrangements shown in Figs. 5 and 6 are employed. The rails 12 are provided on the inner side with hooks 16, Fig. 5, which can be turned to engage the axles of the rollers 13 and are retained by latches 18. The rails on the ferryboat are provided with similar holding-devices. The inner sides of the rails 10, 11 are provided with pivoted wedges 20, Fig. 6, which engage the wheel flanges when resting against stops 21. When the difference in gauge is too small to admit of the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, two lines are used, one of which is wide enough to take the wheels of either series of trucks, a groove being formed for the reception of the broad-gauge flanges. In this case two wedges, one on the inner face and the other on the outer face of the grooved rail, are used for retaining the trucks on the turntables.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Circular Knitting Machines.
Inventor: GRIEVE THOMAS SCOTT
IPC: D04B9/06
Filed: 1912-04-06
Granted: 1913-01-02
Abstract: 8306. Grieve, T. S., and Brooksby, E. April 6. Circular machines.- Relates to improvements in machines for automatically knitting seamless hosiery and comprises chiefly means for transferring loops from one frame needle to another. Transfer needles 2 similar to those described in Specification 18,803/04 are mounted in a bottom cylinder 3 along with ordinary needles 1, the needles being set out according to the rib changes required. For a 2/1 rib top changing to 4/1 rib leg, 3/1 rib ankle, and plain foot, &c., knitting is commenced on a full set of needles, there being half as many needles in the top cylinder or conical bed 6 as there are needles in the cylinder 3, where every fourth needle is of the transferring kind 2. In order to remove a loop from a needle 2 to a needle 1, auxiliary sliding instruments 15 with bevelled ends 34 are mounted in tricks between a carrier ring 11 and the sinker bed ring 12, which are supported on the top of the cylinder 3. When a transfer is required, a pattern-controlled lever 26 lifts a slide cam 21 carried round with the sinker cams into engagement with some or all of the butts 25 of the instruments 15, and the corresponding frame needles are sprung towards the rib or frame transfer needles. The instruments 15 are set out in groups of three with vacant spaces between, and two adjacent instruments of each group are provided with long butts. In changing from 2/1 to 4/1 rib or from 4/1 to 3/1 rib the long butted instruments are operated. In changing from rib to plain fabric, all the instruments are operated. The sinkers 10 are also simultaneously drawn back by a slide 24 so as to allow the adjacent frame needles to approach. This can be assisted by forming some sinkers with side inclines 35, Fig. 4, which act on the needles 2 when drawn back, or the needles 2, in rising to expand their loops, may be deflected by a fixed cam-block 52. Needles for very fine gauge machines are constructed as shown in Fig. 11 with a central cranked portion 4<a>, which is also battered laterally; this construction expands the transfer loop less than does the expanding finger 4, Fig. 14, and the needles 1 are consequently caused to enter the loop 43 from above instead of from below as with the other form of needle.

Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for Splitting Slate Blocks.
Inventor: SUDRE CHARLES
IPC: B28D1/32
Filed: 1912-04-24
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 9695. Sudre, C. April 27, 1911, [Convention date]. Splitting; tools and tool-holders; work-holders. -In splitting blocks of slate into two, four, eight, or more slabs or sheets, the block is first grooved on two opposite sides and is then split from a third side by flexible knives arranged in superposed rows and having the angle of their cutting-edges sufficiently small not to break the slabs. Each row of knives is arranged so as to bisect the slabs formed by the preceding knives. The slate block 3 is held on a table 2 by screwadjusted supports 13, the holding-faces of which may be curved and are covered with rubber or other resilient material. The block is grooved by knives or points 28 carried by supports 26, 27 adapted to be moved by screws 19, 20. The splitting is then carried out by rotating a cam 33 which acts against a projection 36 on a counterbalanced frame 31, to which the knifecarrying frame 37, 38, Fig. 5, is pinned, so as to depress the frame 31 and inclined knives 40, 41. The knives are held by holders 42, 43 adjusted in the frame 37, 38 by nuts 45. The angle of the cutting edge of the upper knives 41 is never greater than that of a knife which will remove a thin slab from a slate block without breaking or straining the slab; the angle of the cutting-edge of the lower and central knife 40 is never greater than twice this angle. A rider 46, adjustable on a rod 49 carried by a sliding frame 51, has grooves engaging the knives to prevent them from springing. The table 2 may be in the form of a grating to receive the knives and their holders after a cut, or the slate block 3 may rest on grooved bars on the table. The knives may be arranged in several independent frames. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91(3)(a) states also that the spaces left in the block by the knives may be filled with sheets of rubber or other flexible material, and further that a block of slate, held between a permanently rigid and a movable support, may be split into slabs by a single knife beginning at one end. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Bottle Sealing or Capsuling Machines.
Inventor: ADRIANCE BENJAMIN
Filed: 1912-10-29
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 8043. Adriance, B. Oct. 29, 1912. Capsules, applying.-Relates to bottle-sealing machines of the type adapted to compensate for varying heights of bottles and in which the bottles are supported on a rotating carrier. The bottles A, Fig. 2, are fed on to the turret d, which is rotated by gearing k, a shaft h, and gearing l actuated by a suitable motor. A cylindrical carrier n reciprocates and also oscillates laterally on the pillar c as explained in Specification 24,783/12, these movements causing the capsuling to be effected as the bottles are fed forward. A structure t, Fig. 10, mounted on the carrier has two bores 3 at its lower end, each holding a verticallymovable stem 4 having a cap 5 and bottle-guiding mouth 7 and the sealing-device. The sealing- device consists of a segmented ring 15, Fig. 11, surrounded by a helical spring 16. The stem 4 is normally held against a shoulder 9 by a spring- pressed plunger 10. A rocking detent 12 having a bearing against the stem is normally abutted on the inner side by a stop 13 and is thus held under the shoulder of a stop 14, so that the stem is locked against upward movement. When a closure is to be applied, the structure t descends, the descent of the plunger is checked by the bottle and the stem 4, locked by detent 12, moves downwards and completes the closure. If the bottle is too large, the plunger is checked earlier in the stroke, and the detent is released and frees the stem, which slides upwards in the structure t. The closures ara fed down a shoot 17 pivoted at its upper end and adapted to swing towards and from the capsuling-head as the head reciprocates. The swinging movement is effected by a link 20 connecting the shoot to a rocking shaft 19 journaled in the structure t. The other end of the rocking shaft is connected by a link 24, Fig. 6, with a vertical rod 25, which slides in a guide 26 on the structure t, and is held by a frictional grip device 27 secured to a part of the machine having no vertical movement.
