Granted: 1912-08-08
Abstract: 11,704. Deschamps, L., and Bablon, R. March 7, [Convention date]. Locking nuts. - In a device for locking nuts comprising a spring- pressed ball 2 lying in a channel 1 in the nut and engaging the thread of the bolt, the lock is released by a bar 4, operated by a slide 6 moving in a bore 5 at right-angles to the channel 1. When the slide is withdrawn, an inclined surface 8 engages the bar 4 and pushes the ball away from the bolt, and the bar then rests on a flat surface 11 so that it is not forced back by the spring. Shoulders 9, 10 on the slide 6 limit its movement. To remove the slide 6 from the nut, it is rotated until the shoulders are clear of the bar 4. The slide closes the channel 1 and prevents the entrance of dust &c.

Title: Apparatus for Totalizing and Listing the Values of Cheques and the like.
Inventor: DIESTELHORST THILDE
Filed: 1912-08-21
Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 19,180. Diestelhorst, [nÚe Wenzel], T. Aug. 21. Record-controlled type-bar actions; platenimpression arrangements.-Cards perforated to represent values of cheques, postal orders, receipts, &c. are fed singly and automatically into a machine and are engaged or penetrated by feeling-rods which control the setting of type and rack bars. The values are printed on a strip and at any time the total can also be recorded on the strip. The cards are placed on edge on a plate 21 and pressed towards a plate 18, by weights 19, cords, and pulleys. When a crank handle on a shaft 2 is turned, a bridge-piece 14 having teeth protruding through slots in the plate 18 is lowered, and feeds one card into position opposite a number of spring-pressed feeling-rods 100, which are mounted in a frame 96 reciprocated by a cam 88 and lever 91. The ends of the rods passing through the perforations in the cards serve as stops to a number of rack-bars 103, which are lowered by the rotation of the cams 8 fixed on a shaft 6 and normally supporting the bars by means of the frame 23. Type-bars 106 hinged to the rack-bars are thus set opposite a printing-strip passing over a roller 113, and this roller and its supporting-frame 111<a> hinged at 110 are then rocked to take the impression. The racks on the bars 103 engage gear-wheels connected by ratchet-mechanism with printing- wheels 44 which total the values. The total can be printed on the strip at any time by operating a handle 122, which lowers the frame 111<a> and presses the roller 113 against the wheels 44. These wheels can be zeroized at any time by rotating the shaft 49, which is grooved so as to pick up pawls on the printing-wheels. At the end of the operation of the machine, a shoe 99 previously supporting the card is withdrawn, and the card falls into a box 131. Ink-ribbon mechanism.-The ink-ribbon 68 for the types on the wheels 44 and the bars 106 passes from a spool around rollers 78, 77, 76 to a winding-on spool, which is rotated at each operation of the machine by means of a tappet on the shaft 6 and ratchet mechanism.

The paper-roll is carried in a cylindrical holder 3, Fig. 1, formed on a plate 1 one end of which is bent over to form a hook or clip 2. An adjustable hook &c. 9 is provided at the other end of the plate 1. A second plate 11 having an aperture 12 is adapted to slide on the plate 1. The holder 3 may be open at one end for the reception of the paper-roll, or as shown in Fig. 3, the paper-roll may be held on a carrier 18 pivoted to the holder. In the latter case, the holder is semi-cylindrical and may be provided with a semi-cylindrical cover 23 which may be hinged thereto or may be formed as an extension on the plate 11. The holder may be on the underside of the plate 1 or may be pivoted so as to assume either position. In the form shown in Fig. 8, the apertured frame is made of two adjustable parts 28, 29 furnished with clips 31. In a further modification, the device comprises a writing - plate secured to uprights on a base, and an apertured frame sliding on the writing-plate, the ends of the plates being bent to form a holder for the paper-roll. Carbon papers for duplicating may be held in flat springs or plates 44, Fig. 1.

Abstract: 12,841. Thomas, J. G. P., and Thomas Transmission, Ltd. July 23, 1912. Controlling different functions by same lever; interlocking.-In an electro-mechanical transmission gear such as is described in Specification 25,386/07, having two clutches, one for freeing the load shaft and the dynamo-electric machine coupled to it from the rest of the mechanism, and the other for locking the balance gear, friction clutches 14, 15 are used and are adapted to be disengaged on the depression of a single pedal 22. Either clutch is prevented from engaging at inappropriate times by means, such as cams 24, 25, provided on or connected with the electric controller of the apparatus, co-operating with levers 23 connected to the clutch-operating members. The pedal is connected to each of such members by a pin-and-slot connexion. The cams thus act as stops which prevent the respective clutches from engaging when the controller is in unsuitable positions; but the cam 24 is shown so constructed that the movement of the controller itself withdraws the clutch 14 for locking the gear when required.

Granted: 1914-06-11
Abstract: 26,233. Herschell, J. M., [W³lfing, Dahl, & Co.]. Nov. 15. Ammonium nitrate is obtained from sodium nitrate and ammonium sulphate by using an excess of ammonium sulphate, the excess being preferably enough to form the double salt Am2SO4, Na2SO4 with all the sodium present. The double salt being sparingly soluble separates out, the ammonium nitrate being left in solution. Or the reaction may be carried out with insufficient water to dissolve all the salts; or the reaction mixture may be concentrated until the salts separate out, the ammonium nitrate being then extracted with a suitable solvent, such as alcohol. A mixture of salts containing sodium nitrate may be used, for instance the solution obtained by reacting equivalent quantities of ammonium sulphate and sodium nitrate and separating out the bulk of the sodium sulphate by heating. To this solution, ammonium sulphate is added in sufficient excess to form the double salt with all the sodium present, and the ammonium nitrate is separated as above described.

Abstract: 9217. Lehmann, H., and Hohnberg, F. April 15, 1913, [Convention date]. Recoil apparatus.-Consists in reducing recoil by causing a forwardly-moving mass to impact with stops or buffers on the recoiling gun-barrel. In the construction shown in Figs. 2 and 6, the mass C, which slides on the barrel, is connected by rods E to a device D mounted in front of the gun muzzle so as to be acted upon by the gases after the projectile has left the gun. Hydraulic buffers a<2> receive the impact, and oppositely-acting springs F, G mounted in the cradle B return the parts to the firing position. In a modification, the mass C is moved forwards by a spring, which is released by the lifting of a retaining-catch at the commencement of the recoil, and is re-energized during the final period of the recoil when the gun-barrel and mass C are moving rearwardly together. This construction may be combined with the first, and the buffers a<2> may be replaced by fixed stops on the gun-barrel, to which the mass C may be locked by a spring pawl at the moment of contact.
