Title: Improvements in and relating to Kinematographic Projection Apparatus.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
IPC: G03D15/00
Filed: 1911-09-30
Granted: 1911-11-23
Abstract: 21,608. Lake, H. W., [Prana Ges. f³r Tageslicht-Projektion]. Sept. 30. Kinematograph apparatus. - In order to obtain the projection of titles or the like in a kinematograph display, the titles are printed on sections incorporated in the ordinary film and the film is brought to rest at these sections. For example, glass plates b are inserted in the film which is joined on at both ends by clips f. The titles may be carried on the celluloid film and protected from fire by coverings which exclude air. The driving-mechanism is brought to rest by means carried on the title sections, for example, these sections may be wider than the ordinary film a and complete a circuit at the contacts 18, 19 to energize an electro-magnet 21 which attracts an armature 22 on a lever 23 and so moves the driving-shaft 9 and drum 7 carrying the tappets out of engagement with the maltese crosses 5 and arrests the film. The means on the title sections for actuating the contacts 18, 19 may comprise projections or the greater rigidity or thickness of the film at these points may be employed. The title sections are brought to rest for a definite predetermined period, as the uninterrupted rotation of the shaft 9 rotates the gear-wheel 26, once, say, in thirty seconds, and causes the cam 28 to open the circuit at the end of this period, thus allowing the lever 23 to return to its original position and re-engage the tappets with the maltese crosses 5, the film then being fed forward until the contact 18, 19 is again made.

Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 26,574. Wallace, W., and Stockley, H. Nov. 28. Toothed wheels adapted to work under severe conditions, such as occur in the transmission of power on tramcars, electric trains, &c., are cut from blanks in which the rim is formed separately by rolling wrought metal in a ring like a jointless tyre and is secured to a central block by means of dovetail projections integral with one part fitting matching recesses in the other part, the teeth being afterwards cut in the blank so formed. The rim may be formed in segments with interlocking joints, as shown in Fig. 6. The segments may also be divided across the width of the wheel, as shown in Fig. 7, being interlocked as shown or in 'other ways, or plain segments mav be simply arranged side by side to break joint. The central portion of the wheel is preferably formed in two or more segments which may be secured together by a series of two or more dovetail joints C, by bolts B or by studs and taper cotters, but preferably by dovetail joints C and bolts B in combination, as shown in Fig. 1, this arrangement being such that the bolts and nuts are completely enclosed by the rim and cannot be removed until the rim is detached. The segments of the rim and centre block are arranged to break joint, the peripheral dovetail connexions serving to reinforce the central connexions. To tighten the dovetail connexions, taper pins c<3> may be driven into taper holes c<2> intersecting slits c<1> formed as shown in the dovetails C or, alternatively, at the s'des of the dovetail recesses D. The recesses may be larger than the dovetails, taper cotter pins, or pins c<4> of rectangular section, being driven into the spaces as shown at D' and D<2> in Fig. 5. A connexion similar to that shown at D' may be formed with parallel sides. The roots of the dovetails may be cut away as shown at f, in order to render the circumferential connexion slightly elastic. The rim segments may meet at a dovetail connexion, in which case a taper pin may be inserted to force the dovetail parts together, or a parallel pin may be inserted into a parallel hole simply to support the ends of the segments.

Granted: 1912-06-20
Abstract: 2124. Flamand, L. H. A. B. M. Hazard-. Feb. 6, 1911, [Convention date]. Cells; electrodes; electrolytes, circulating .-In apparatus for the production of oxygen and hydrogen, a diaphragm n is arranged between the electrodes and between liquid seals which retain the products, the electrolyte or added water being delivered to both sides of the diaphragm by a special device. As shown, the anode m, diaphragm n, and the container a which acts as cathode are all cup-shaped, the anode being perforated and preferably of steel, from which oxide scales off without increasing the resistance of the cell. Around the upper part of the container a is a trough b supplied with oil through a vessel c<2>, which also forms a gauge. Within the upper part of the diaphragm are three annular distributing-troughs h, i, j. A cover c resting on an insulating- flange around the oil-trough b has two annular flanges which enter the troughs b, i to form the liquid seals. Electrolyte is run from a tank k' into the intermediate trough i, enters the other troughs at diametrically opposite points h', j<1>, and flows around these troughs before being admitted to the anode and cathode compartments. The distributing-troughs and the anode are suspended from the cover c, optionally by the same rods l. The gaseous products are led into chambers o, preferably of transparent material, by pipes o' which dip into water. Pipes q<2> connect the lower ends of the chambers with a tank q, so that the chambers act as pressure gauges as well as serving for washing the gases and indicating their rate of flow.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Adding or like Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: G06C7/06
Filed: 1911-11-09
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 14,777. Boult, A. J., [Burroughs Adding Machine Co.]. Nov. 9, 1911. Adding - apparatus; overthrow - preventing mechanism.-In key set and operated multiplebank machines, the differential throw of the actuating-lever is positively arrested at the required point, and the totalizer pinions are automatically unlocked for actuation. Lugs d<2> upon the plunger keys depress, through different distances, the actuating-lever F with toothed segment F<1>, and an aperture F<3> with opposing series of ratchet teeth is provided on the segment for co-operation with an arresting- arm g<2>. By means of a horizontally moving slide-bar G having inclined surfaces g, g<1>, facing alternately forwards and rearwards, pins d<3> upon the keys throw the arresting arm into engagement with forward ratchet - teeth upon the depression of odd keys and rearwards for even keys. Upon the return of a key the ratchet-teeth assist a spring g<3>. to restore the arresting arm to its central inactive position, which is finally determined by the co-operation of a V-notch g<4> in the segment with a pin at the lower end of an arm G<3> moving with the slide-bar. In a modification, the return of the slide-bar and associated parts is effected by springs applied directly thereto. So long as the segment is undepressed, a pin f<1> thereon keeps an arm J<1> raised and therewith a spring- connected pawl locking pins upon the receiving-pinion P of the totalizing-counter, but upon depression of a key, a spring j<1> withdraws the pawl, while upon the completion of the upward or actuating movement of the segment the pawl is forced into engagement to prevent overthrow. Similar parts are provided for each denomination, but in the case of the units wheel, the arm J<1> and pawl are rigidly connected, since the zeroizing-arrangements do not require this pawl to yield. Transfer mechanism.-The pins of the receiving-pinions normally move forwards in opposition to the wedge-shaped faces of hooked spring- controlled non-reverse pawls K, and, in order to prevent overthrow during transfer due to the holding down of any key of the higher bank and the disablement thereby of the ordinary overthrow-preventing pawls, displacement of the non-return pawls during forward movement of such pinion is rendered impossible by means of a pin g<8>, upon an arm moving with the arresting-arm g<2>, which remains above suitable surfaces k<2> upon a rearwardly-projecting arm K' in one with the non-reverse pawl.

Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 25,862. Meyercord, G. R. Nov. 11. Transfers.-Decalcomania transfers of the kind in which the subject when transferred is caused to stand out in relief in imitation of oil paintings due to the application of oil colours to some parts of the back of the transfer are produced entirely by printing. A flat print in colours is produced face-down on the transfer paper in the usual way by a series of lithographic plates, and those of the plates which print parts that in the original to be reproduced are in relief, for instance those for printing the brush marks, are further used to make successive printings in any suitable material on the back of the flat print until the desired relief is obtained. On transferring in the usual way by wetting and pressure, the colour films forming the face will stretch sufficiently to give the relief produced by the back being pressed against a flat object.

Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for Impregnating Wood.
Inventor: DAUTREPPE LOUIS
IPC: B27K3/20
Filed: 1913-03-12
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 6179. Dautreppe, L. March 12. Impregnating - compositions; wood, preserving. - Wood is rendered incombustible, imputrescible, non- hygroscopic, and proof against insects, by impregnating it successively with several solutions of silicate of potash or soda. of different strengths without intermediate drying. The wood is previously heated under vacuum, and after impregnation is dried under progressive temperatures, and may then be treated with carbon dioxide under pressure to form silica and bicarhonate of potash or soda in the wood. The wood is finally washed and dried, preferably by means of hot air under 40‹ C., and, when intended to be used for casings for electric conductors or as insulating material, it is coated with a composition of an earthy product, such as umber, containing silicates of iron and manganese, mixed with a solution of silicate of potash or soda. It may also be coated with a solution of tar or pitch. A suitable apparatus for carrying out the process comprises three tanks containing the different solutions of silicate of potash &c. placed below three antoclaves 4, 5, 6, into which the solutions rise through pipes 7, when vacuum is established therein by means of a vacuum pump 17. The wood is first placed in the autoclave 4, heated by means of the steam-coils 28, and subjected to vacuum by means of the pump 17. The solution is then allowed to rise from the first tank into the autoclave, and is subjected to air pressure by means of the pump 17 to force it into the wood. The solution is returned to the tank, and the wood is successively transferred by means of rails 44, 46, 47, 48 and turntables 45, to the antoclaves 5, 6, where it is similarly subjected to impregnation with a second and a third solution of higher strengths. It is then passed through a drying-stove 35 comprising several compartments 36, 37, 38, 39, each heated to a higher degree than the preceding one between 30‹ C. and 100‹ C. From the stove 35, the wood passes to an autoclave 31 where it is subjected under pressure to carbon dioxide from the gas-holder 23, and then passes to a washing-tank 43, and is finally dried. When resinous wood is treated, the silicate solution in the first tank becomes charged with resin, and may be used as a fire-resisting paint.
