Compasses; compasses for drawing spirals; ellipsographs; dotting- pens. - Comprises a drawing - apparatus by means of which circles, spirals, ellipses, ovals, and elliptical and oval spirals may be drawn. In addition various forms of zigzag and dotted lines can also be drawn. The apparatus is supported by a tripod 2, 3 which is adjusted by screws, and comprises a vertical shaft 14 rotated by the arm 24 and carrying at its lower end an arm 15 on which is mounted the drawing-device 18, slidable on the arm 15 and capable also of being moved along the arm 15 by a screwed spindle 16 actuated by a train of wheels 28, 30 having an adjustable idle wheel 33 between them operated by bevel wheels 25, 26 from the shaft 14. The whole of the apparatus is capable of motion rectilineally, being supported by bars 9, 9<1> in bearing-blocks 6, 7, and may be locked by the lever 39 engaging a slot 40 in the bar 9<1>. When thus locked, circles of any radius may be drawn by the pen 20 which is set to the desired radius with the assistance of graduations on the back of the bar 15, the train of wheels 28, in this instance, not being geared to the train 30. To draw spirals, the pen 20 is moved so as to be beneath the axis of the shaft 20, and the wheel 33 is engaged with the suitable pair of wheels in the trains 28, 30, the device 18 being in engagement with the spindle 16. By rotating the handle 24, spirals are drawn. Ellipses are drawn by mounting on a pin 44 a wheel 42, Fig. 16, to gear with the wheel 41. A pin 43 at the end of a rod 45 slides in a slot 44 and may be fixed where desired. The lever 39 is raised so that the apparatus may reciprocate. When the handle 24 is turned, the pen 20 traces out an ellipse, the connecting-rod 45 causing the carriage carrying the shaft 14 to reciprocate. If the wheel 33 is thrown into gear, elliptical spirals are traced. To trace ovals or oval spirals, a shorter connecting-rod is used and is pivoted on pins in holes 49 in the bar 5. Zigzag lines are drawn by removing the wheel 41 and the lever 24 to a shaft parallel with the shaft 14, having a wheel at its base engaging the wheel 25. The bearing-arm 15 is prevented from rotating and the wheel 42 is arranged as for drawing ellipses. By rotating the arm 24, the arm 15 is reciprocated and the pen 20 is simultaneously moved along it, the wheel 33 engaging the trains 28, 30. For the purpose of drawing dotted lines a shaft 21 is arranged, pivoted eccentrically at each end and adapted to lift the pen 20, and a toothed wheel 55 rotated at the same rate as and by the shaft 14 actuates a spring-controlled pawl 57 which moves the shaft 21 at short intervals, thereby lifting the pen 20 and producing dotted lines.

Abstract: 15,592. Wittemann, J. F. July 3. Aerating, gases for; feed, regulating; combined aerating and cooling apparatus. - In treating beer, wine, cider, &c. with gases. of fermentation, the beer &c. and the gases, which may have been compressed or not, are pumped in regulated quantities through a cooler and thence to a racking or bottling device. A rotary pump 48, Fig. 5, draws beer through an inlet 53 and passes it through a conical casing 72. The velocity of flow in the casing increases towards its narrow end, and the pressure therefore decreases. The difference in pressure at the narrow and wide ends of the casing is used to regulate the flow of the beer by connecting the lower end of the casing by a pipe 75 with a chamber 63 above a flexible diaphragm, and the upper end by a pipe 77 with a chamber 65 below a flexible diaphragm, the movements of the diaphragms being utilized to operate a grid-iron valve in the beer inlet pipe. Where fermentation gas under normal pressure is used, this is supplied by a pipe 54 to the centre of the pump. Where compressed gas is used, it is supplied by pipe 91 to the beer as it leaves the casing 72, and the supply is regulated according to the difference in pressure at the two ends of the casing by pipe connexions 85, 86 leading to chambers above and below a flexible diaphragm, the movements of which operate a valve in the pipe 91. The mixture of beer and gas passes through a cooler consisting of horizontal tubes having end connexions to form a continuous conduit for the beer, and surrounded by wider tubes connected to headers, so as to obtain a continuous conduit for refrigerating - liquid. Fermentation gas which is to be compressed is mixed with a refrigerated liquid in the compression pump, and the supply of refrigerated liquid is regulated according to the temperature of the compressed mixture. The mixture from a compression pump 21, Fig. 2, is discharged around a thermostat 22, in a vessel 23 which separates the gas and liquid. The thermostat operates a valve 16, regulating the supply of refrigerated liquid through a pipe 18 and sight vessel 7 to the compression pump. The refrigerated liquid separated in the vessel 23 collects in a pivoted counterweighted vessel 42 from which it is discharged intermittently. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 10,038/98, 4877/00, and 12,242/06.
