Granted: 1913-01-16
Abstract: 2963. Fuller, W. J. Feb. 5. [Addition to 15,924/10.] Turning - gear. - On t h e starting - handle shaft c is mounted a sleeve c<2> normally keyed thereto by the spring- pressed pawl c<6> housed in a slot in the handle shaft. A second sleeve d, free to slide on the first sleeve but prevented from rotation by the through bolt d<2>, is formed with teeth d<1> which engage pins a<1> on the crank-shaft when the sleeve is pushed forward by the spindle d<4>. A spring c<3> tends to keep the second sleeve in its retracted position. A ratchet-wheel f is connected to the sleeve c<2> through a one - way clutch; on a premature ignition the ratchet-wheel is carried round with the sleeve and trips. a detent e. This detent through a pin e<2> moves an intermediate lever i pivoted on the spindle d<4>; the lever in turn moves a plate h having slots in which are rollers g<1> carried by radially guided plates g, Fig. 8. The inward movement of these plates disengages the pawl c<6> from the sleeve c<2> and frees the handle. The intermediate lever may be dispensed with. The apparatus may be mounted on the dash-board of a motor-vehicle and connected by suitable gearing with the crank-shaft.

Abstract: 6691. Foucar, P. E. March 23, 1911, [Convention date]. Rolling - machines.- A machine for rolling pieces of dough into loaf form comprises pairs o f monlding- boards 2, Figs. 1 and 3, arranged above a table 1 which is moved in its own plane by adjustable cranks &c. 3. The boards 2 are pivoted at their lower ends 42, Fig. 6, on pins 43 and at their upper ends are formed with projections 41 fitting into vertical grooves 40 in plates 36, which, by bolts 38 and slots 37, can be adjusted to vary the inclination of the boards 2. The boards 2 are cut away at 44, Fig. 1, to facilitate the introduction of the dough pieces. In operation, the boards 2 are first set vertically and the dough pieces worked by the movement of the table rolling them alternately against each of the pairs of boards 2; the boards are then inclined to intensify the action and finally one board of each pair is inclined more than the other to cause the dough pieces to traverse the machine and drop on to a delivery belt 27. The machine can be inclined, by means of adjustable feet 34, to vary the working of the dough pieces and their rate of progression through the machine.

Title: An Improved Mixture for Coating Metals and Uniting Articles made of Metal.
Inventor: ROSENBERG AUGUSTUS
IPC: B23K35/36
Filed: 1912-10-11
Granted: 1913-10-13
Abstract: 23,300. Rosenberg, A. Oct. 11. Soldering.-A composition for soft-soldering or coating metals consists of a finely-divided metal or metals or alloy, a flux in the dry and undissolved condition, and a vegetable or animal oil, fat, or grease for preventing the metal &c. from being oxidized, and for preventing the formation of double salts thereof. The composition may be made up in stick or paste form. In the former case a non-hygroscopic binding-agent may be added for stiffness, or the composition may be wrapped in strips of cellulose or foil of the same metal as the solder, or squirted into tubes of material such as cellulose which leaves practically no residue on burning away. The fluidity of the paste form depends on the quantity of the oil, grease, or fat present, and the paste may thus be obtained in the form of a paint, particularly for tinning or coating the interior of brewery, distillery, or jam-making vats or utensils in situ. According to the Provisional Specification the flux is anhydrous. Specification 17,624/04, [Class 82, Metals and alloys], is referred to.

Abstract: 27,787. Thomas, H. J., and British and Colonial Aeroplane Co. Dec. 3. Indicating duration and interruption of flow of liquids.-Apparatus for indicating the speed of aeroplane engines, also stated to be adapted to indicate when the oil circulation ceases, is operated from the oil - circulating system, the pulsations of which are caused to rotate a vane, a similar vane capable of being driven at known speeds being provided for comparison. The variations in pressure in the oil system are communicated to a spring-controlled piston C by a pipe A, and the oscillation of the piston rotates, through a crank E<1> and spur gearing, a vane G, backward movement being prevented by a pawl F<2> and a ratchet - wheel G<2>. The speed of the clock-driven vane K is varied by shifting the change - speed gear J<1> until the appearance in an observation slit in a plate L shows the speed of the vanes to be the same. A fly-wheel may be provided to carry the crank E<1> over the dead-point.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Calculating Machines.
Inventor: LAYTON EDWIN JAMES
Filed: 1913-01-04
Granted: 1913-11-13
Abstract: 311. Layton, E. J. Jan. 4. Multiplying and dividing apparatus. - In apparatus of the Thomas type, the setting of the multiplier by means of a scale and pointer energizes a solenoid clutch in circuit with a motor, which thereupon rotates the main operating-shaft a number of times equal to the multiplier so set; at the completion of the required number of revolutions, the motor is automatically declutched. The multiplier is set on the scale 15 by means of a slide 7 loosely pivoted on a, rod 6, and carrying a pointer 14 and weighted contact-block 3. As soon as the pointer denotes the required multiplier and the handle of the slide is released, the block 3 makes contact with a wire 9 arranged helically in the thread of a wooden or like non-conducting screw 2. This screw is attached to the main operating- shaft 1 of the machine. Contact between the block 3 and wire 9 energizes the solenoid 25, 26 and rocks an arm 23 pivoted on the axis of the wheel 18 so as to cause engagement between the friction-wheels 21, 22. The shaft 1 is thus continuously driven until the slide 3 returns to its original position when the circuit is broken. The pitch of the screw 2 being equal to the graduations of the setting scale 15, the shaft 1 will be rotated a number of times equal to the multiplier set on the scale.

To prevent the carriage from moving backwards while the holders are being operated, a bell-crank lever 9 pivoted to the carriage lies so as to abut against one of the partitions 1‹ and has a turned-over end 9<c1> which is engaged by the support 4 so as to raise the weighted arm 9<b> of the lever when the support is turned back. Shoes 8 prevent the support 4 from rocking into contact with the rollers 3<d>. A crossmember 3<c> on the carriage forms a rest for the holders when turned down and a handle for operating the carriage.

Granted: 1914-03-26
Abstract: 9815. Turnbull, N. K. April 26. Galvanizing.-In a galvanizing - bath, a layer of zinc covers the whole surface of a heavier metal such as lead, and the molten zinc is prevented from coming into contact with the iron of the bath by a lining contiguous to the inner surface of the walls of the bath, no heat being applied externally to the lined portion of the bath, the zinc obtaining its heat from the underlying metal. The lining may be composed of refractory material R, arranged as shown in Fig. 1, or of a crust of solidified zinc, which may be produced by passing water or cold air through an annular passage A, Fig. 2, surrounding the part of the bath which contains the molten zinc, or by spraying water on to the exterior of this part of the bath. An arm T, Fig. 1, serves for carrying the end of a wire through the bath when starting to galvanize wire, or for pushing sheets through the bath, with a minimum disturbance of the surface of the molten metal, and barriers R' or covers may be employed to isolate portions of the surface which need not be disturbed under working conditions.
