Title: Improvements in Means for Taking Samples of Powdered Substances or Liquids.
Inventor: ROBERTS THOMAS
IPC: G01N1/18
Filed: 1911-10-21
Granted: 1913-01-21
Abstract: 23,237. Roberts, T. Oct. 21. Sampling granular materials.-An electric apparatus for taking automatically samples of powdered substances &c. at predetermined intervals of time is controlled by clock - work mounted at a distance therefrom. Figs. 1, 2, and 4 show apparatus for sampling powdered substances in which a quantity of powder is measured in a tube c and passes to one of a series of receptacles g mounted on an intermittently rotating plate h. Two valve parts c<1>, c<2> are pivoted in the tube c so that, when the upper ends are apart, the powder enters the tube and rests upon the lower ends c', c<8>. When the upper ends close, the lower ends open, and the powder passes out. The valve parts are operated by levers e<3> on the pivoted armatures of the electro - magnets e. The containers g have lids g<1>, g<2> connected to levers, one of which is provided with a projecting arm to engage a stop-piece on the machine so as to open and close the lids as they pass under the tube c. Air-escape pipes are also fitted on the containers. A spring around the shaft A rotates the plate h when a pivoted catch h<2> is disengaged from a tooth h<4> on the edge of the plate h by an electro-magnet k, the catch being so shaped that, upon an energization of the magnet k, an end h<6> engages a tooth h<4> to hold the plate against rotation, while upon deenergization the end h<6> releases the tooth, and the plate is moved until the end h<7> of the catch engages the next tooth. Fig. 10 shows the clock controlling-mechanism. A disk p rotated by clock-work is provided with projections p<1> of different lengths which engage a lever q<1>, the number of projections engaged being dependent upon the position of the lever, which is adjusted by means of the screw r. The lever q<1> is pivoted to the frame r<2>, which is moved by the screw r and carries a screw q<3> against which bears one end of a spring-pressed lever q<4>, the engagement of the projections upon the clock-work disk with a catch on the lever q<1> thus closing a contact q<4>, s. An electro-magnet u<5> effects the removal of a brake u from a flyer t<3> and also a detent w<8> from a locking-wheel v<1> of an independent spring motor, which, as it moves, closes for suitable intervals contacts in the circuits of the measuring - chamber electromagnets and also of the table-controlling electromagnet. Provision is made for taking individual samples at will by closing special switches, and also for automatically locking the machine when all the containers have been filled and for cutting-out the whole of the electrical parts. Electric lamps are employed to indicate that the machine is in operation.

Abstract: 627. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Young, A. P. Jan. 8. Regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for.-The generator of an electric supply system is provided with a device for maintaining its voltage at a safe value in the event of an abnormal rise or fall of voltage on the system, in addition to the usual automatic regulating- apparatus. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1; an automatic regulator A of the kind described in Specification 28,190/11, [Class 110 (ii), Rotary engines &c.], controls the voltage of a number of generators B through a relay device C. In series with the voltage coil a of the regulator A is placed the coil of an electro-magnetic relay b, the armature c of which carries a contact d held under normal conditions between fixed contacts g, h by means of springs e. The contacts g, h are connected to one end of the winding of an electro-magnet k, the other end of this winding being connected to the exciter bus-bar l; the contact d is connected to the other exciter bus-bar f. The armature m of the electro-magnet k is connected to a pivoted catch n, Figs. 2 and 3, which normally holds a two-way switch o in one of its operative positions against the action of a spring s. The switch o is of the barrel type, and consists of a number of disks of insulating- material threaded on a shaft and having embedded in each a conducting segment which engage spring-pressed carbon brushes p. The operation of the arrangement is as follows. The switch o is set by hand against the action of the spring s, and the regulator A, under normal conditions, controls the voltage of the generators B by operating upon resistances q in the field circuits of the exciters. When an abnormal rise or fall of voltage occurs on the system, the relay b closes the circuit of the winding of the electro-magnet k, the attraction of the armature m of which releases the catch n and allows the switch o to move to its second operative position, its movement being arrested by means of a stop r. In this position, the regulator A is rendered inoperative, and a portion of the resistance q is connected in series with the field windings of the exciter.

Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 7389. Redlich, A., and Deutsch, G. May 2, 1911, [Convention date]. Extracts, making and treating. - Quebracho extracts which are soluble to a clear solution at any temperature are made by separating the phlobaphene deposit from the crude liquor centrifugally at the same temperature as that at which the extract is to be used. The phlobaphenes &c. are thereby solidified against the walls of the centrifugal vessel, and the clear solution, which passes over the edges of the walls, carries away the tanning-ingredients which the consolidated mud contains. Liquors for giving drum-tanning extracts are treated at 30-40‹ C., and for liquor-tanning they are treated at 10-15‹ C. The treatment may be applied to the deposit which settles from the crude liquor containing the deposit in suspension.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Cutting or Slicing Bread and Spreading Butter or the like thereon.
IPC: B26D7/34
Filed: 1913-04-16
Granted: 1914-03-19
Abstract: 8978. Eulenfeld, F. von, and Caterers' Economizers Co. April 16. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Coating bakers' goods.-In the machine described in Specification 16,729/08 for slicing bread and spreading butter &c. on the cut surface, modified means are provided for feeding and spreading the butter and for regulating the buttering-device for loaves of different sizes. The machine comprises a table b mounted on standards a and a knife d mounted on a handle c pivoted to the frame. The rocking movement of the handle c operates by a screw-and-nut device to force the piston f outwards in the butter container e, thereby forcing the butter through the hollow piston - rod f<2> and passage g<1> into a tube g having a slotted outlet g<2>. An outer tube h has a slot h<1> not in line with the slot g<2> and when the spreader is in the operative position, the slot h<1> registers with the butter outlet i<1>. The leather-lipped spreader is mounted on a sleeve i arranged to rock on the outer tube h, and is automatically brought into operative position and withdrawn by mechanism arranged on the shaft of a pinion d<2>, which is rotated alternately in opposite directions, as the handle is rocked, by engaging a stationary segmental rack d<3>. A cam l rotating with the pinion d<2> has a projection l<1> which, when the handle c is raised, lies opposite a gap in the edge of a loose ring m connected by a coiled spring n to the hub l<2> of the cam l. The spreader j tends to take up the operative position by the action of a spring o but is normally retained by an arm k engaging the back of the ring m. As the handle c descends, the cam l is turned but the ring m is retained by the end of the arm k and, when the projection l<1> has moved away, the arm k shoots forward through the gap in the ring m and the butter-spreader moves into operative position. When the handle reaches the lower limit of its stroke, a second arm k<1> on the sleeve i strikes a stop k<2> and withdraws the arm k from the ring m which rotates under the action of the spring n and prevents the arm k from returning until the knife has been raised and is being lowered again for another slice. In order to render the cam adjustable for varying sizes of loaves, it is coupled to the pinion d<2> by a toothed clutch s which is releasable by a wing nut t. The butter in the container e and in the hollow piston-rod f<2> is stirred by a mixer v carried by the handle c, or by a toothed plate w which may be actuated by a hand crank. The piston f may be set initially, according to the amount of butter introduced, by rotating the container e by means of a handle on the cover w<1>. A series of butter-containers of varying capacity may be provided.
