Abstract: 15,987. Mackenzie, J. W., [Golden Novclty Manufacturing Co.]. July 10. Picture and like frames.-Relates to picture frames and shadow boxes for the same, and especially to frames of the kind comprising four detachably connected metal sides. Corner-pieces of an ornamental character are used to aid in holding the sides together, provision being made to cover up the fastening-screw or other means also used, and flanges are formed integral with the side members to retain the picture in place. The frame comprises two pairs of metal sides 1, 2, Figs. 3 and 4, connected by means of slotted lugs 3 and tongues 4, and at each of the corners ornamental pieces 5 are provided having fingers 6, 7, 8 which engage the side members. A screw 9 passes through the side members 1, 2 at their juncture and engages a bridge 12, which forms part of the corner-piece 5 and passes across an opening 13 in it. The connexion between the screw and the bridge is hid from view by a cup 20, Fig. 5, held in the opening 13 by projections 21. The sides 1, 2 are bent so as to form a ridge 14, against which the picture rests, and a wall 16 having lugs 17 which hold the picture, glass, and backing 15 in place. Slits are formed in the wall 16 so as to, afford means for attaching a picture cord to the frame. The frame is surrounded by a shadow box or closure 22 which also comprises four sides connected by tongues and slots, a flange 25 setting in the grooved portion 14 of the frame. The sides of the shadow box are' bent over to form a groove 27 in which the glass 28 is mounted.

Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 18,166. Scott, C. W. Aug. 10. Feed-openings for solids regulated by diaphragms.-The carbide-feed valve d of an acetylene generator is operated by a spring- or weight-controlled piston i acting in conjunction with a diaphragm j and arranged in a cylinder k in. such a way that, as the piston moves in the cylinder, a fold of the flexible diaphragm rises up between the piston and the wall of the cylinder, thus maintaining a constant effective area at all parts of the stroke. The piston-rod h actuates the valve d through a rocking-lever f, and the joints of this lever are protected by a shield u. In the form shown, a series of springs u press upon the piston, but single spring may be used, and, in a modification, the piston may actuate the valve directly. The apparatus is for use particularly with buoys of the kind described in Specification 18,469/08, the diaphragm taking the place of the float operating the carbidevalve. When the apparatus is used on land, it is arranged in a tank provided at the bottom with means for removing the sludge without the access.of air.

Granted: 1913-06-19
Abstract: 3532. Hardy, J. A. Feb. 12, 1912, [Convention date]. Clutches.-Comprises a fluid-pressure clutch for automatically locking a differential gear when the relative speed of rotation of the two driven shafts exceeds a predetermined limit, while allowing free action of the differential under normal conditions. Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4-4, Fig. 5, and Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5-5, Fig. 4. The shaft c drives the vanes g of a fluid pump, the casing of which is fixed to the shaft c<1>. The vanes are driven through swivelling members i so that they are always radial to the casing. The ports j are connected by a passage j<1> controlled by a spring-pressed piston m. The fluid can act on the end face m<2> of the piston through ports o having valves o'. When the relative speed of the shafts c, c<1> is low, the fluid can pass freely from one side of the pump to the other through the passage j<1>. As the relative speed increases, the fluid pressure acting on the face m<2> increases, and the piston is forced back, so throttling and finally closing the passage j<1>; the shafts c, c<1> are then locked together. The speed at which the piston acts can be regulated by tensioning the spring p acting thereon.

The frame 14 is raised and lowered by cylinders 19, 20 so as to bring the parison moulds 17 into contact with the nozzle 100 of a pump which delivers molten metal from the tank 95. The contents of the glass delivery pump barrel 97, Fig. 6, are expelled, when it is in the position shown, by the admission of fluid pressure by way of a tube 102. To refill the barrel 97, it is raised somewhat by a cylinder 113 connected bv a lever 111 with the tube 102, and rotated so as to bring the port 99 into register with the port 101 in the casing 96. The molten metal is sucked into the barrel 97. which is then rotated and lowered into its seat, as shown, rea'dy for the next discharge.

Mariners' compasses.-Relates to liquid compasses of the type in which a light below, and an optical system above, the card project an image of this on to a screen having a lubber point or line, and consists in pivoting the bowl at points above the plane of the card. If the bowl is pivoted in the plane of the card as shown in Fig. 2, and there is no liquid in the bowl, the image of the point A on the card will always appear at the point L of the screen S, but if there is liquid in the bowl, when the vessel rolls, the image will be deflected to the point A' by reason of the refraction of the rays of light at the surface of the liquid as indicated by the line A, B, C. If, however, the bowl is empty and pivoted above the plane of the card as shown at 0, Fig. 3, the image A<1> will be deflected in the opposite direction when the vessel rolls. Thus by taking a suitable distance 0 A, these deflexions will neutralize each other when the bowl contains liquid.
