Abstract: 13,876. Walker, A. H., [Mergenthaler Setzmaschinen-Fabrik Ges.]. June 10. Magazines for type-bar making machines. Relates to machines of the kind in which, for effecting a change of magazine, the magazine and frame are adapted to be raised, and, when so raised, to be turned through ninety degrees and the magazine removed at the side of the machine. To enable the upper edge of the magazine to clear the magazine entrance, the magazine has heretofore been adapted to be moved downwards on the frame, and to be temporarily locked in the forward position. According to the present invention, the lock consists of a spring bolt 7 mounted on the magazine frame so as to co-operate with recesses 6 in a bar 5 secured beneath the magazine, and it is adapted to be automatically released, when the magazine is turned through ninety degrees, by a pivoted arm 10 which engages an abutment on a fixed part of the machine. The lower recess 6 is bevelled at its upper side so that the bolt is readily forced back when the magazine is moved down. The recesses 6 may be formed in the rod 3 which guides the magazine on the frame, and they may be replaced by one continuous slot.

Abstract: 17,791. Leitner, H. Aug. 4. Regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for.-In electric regulating systems of the kind described in Specifications 25,784 / 04 and 6690/06, means are provided whereby the circuit of the volt-meter relay is broken when the lamp circuit is broken and all the resistance has been inserted, and is made when the lamp circuit is closed. In the arrangement shown, the motor g, under the control of the volt-meter relay f, actuates the arm e of the rheostat d to vary the resistance in series with the lamps c. When the arm e reaches one end of its stroke, it operates a switch h to break the motor circuit; and when it reaches the other end of its stroke, it operates a switch h<1> to break the motor circuit. In order to break the volt-meter relay circuit when the lamp circuit is broken, a switch j is provided, which is arranged to open simultaneously with or just before the switch h<1> is opened. When the lamp switch S is opened, the consequent rise in voltage causes the voltmeter relay f to complete the circuit of the motor g in such a manner that all the resistance is placed between the dynamo and the lamps, and the switches j, h<1> finally opened. When, however, the lamp circuit is closed, the circuit of the relay f is completed through contacts k, k<1> on the switch S, and the motor g moves the arm e to decrease the resistance in series with the lamps and allows the switches j, h<1> to close. The rheostat d may be replaced by a counter electromotive force, or by a varying number of cells.

Inventor: BOULTON PERCIVAL RAYMOND
IPC: G01N7/04
Filed: 1912-03-06
Granted: 1913-04-07
Abstract: 5601. Boulton, P. R. March 6. Gas analysis.-An apparatus for the automatic and continuous analysis of gases, particularly flue-gases, comprises vessels a, b, preferably of equal size, a vessel 1 c containing absorbent solution, and valves j<1>, j<2>, j<3>, j<4> for alternately putting the vessels in communication with the flue and an ejector respectively, and with the vessel c. In operation, the valves j<1>, j<4> are opened and the valves j<2>, j<3> closed, the pressures in the vessels a, b becoming the same as those in the flue and exhaust pipe respectively. The valves j<1>, j<4> are then closed. and the valves j<2>, j<3> opened, whereupon an equalization of pressure takes places, the final pressure depending on the amount of gas absorbed. The proportion of gas absorbed is determined by comparing the final pressure with the mean of the pressures originally existing in the vessels a, b. For this purpose, branches l, v from the flue and exhaust pipes communicate with the compartments of a divided floating bell k, and a branch m is taken from the vessel c to the chamber y enclosing this bell. The motion of the bell is communicated to a bell-crank o connected to the recording-arm by a link p. To compensate for any variation, in the extreme pressures, connexions are made to opposite sides of a second bell s, so that the position of this bell is determined by the difference of the pressures in the flue and exhaust pipes. The motion of the bell is transmitted to the link p, and the connexion of this link with the recording-arm r is thereby varied by a block q<2> rising or falling in a slot q, the readings being altered accordingly. If however the absolute pressures at the inlet and outlet points are maintained at a constant value, then the compensating-bell s and its connexions may be omitted.
