Granted: 1905-03-16
Abstract: 9553. Campbell, J. T. April 26. Counting-apparatus.-In a winding-machine, the number, length, or weight of turns of material, yarn, thread, or the like is shown upon counting- mechanism of the screw-and-nut type, or of the rotary type in which one disc only is employed, the attainment of predetermined values being indicated by bell signals. The screwed shaft A, Figs. 1 and 4, derives motion from the winding- shaft through bevel gear B, and engages with a half-nut formed in the transverse piece C, which slides freely upon and can be rotated around the bar D for the purpose of setting. A pointer G attached to the nut-piece indicates upon a suitable scale F, which may be adjusted lengthwise by means of nuts f, and may have clamped thereto at required points one or more stops H, which displace an arm k upon the spindle of a spring-controlled bell-hammer K and cause the bell to sound. In a modification, the arm k projects laterally from the spring stem of the hammer, which is made adjustable for length; it is stated that any other suitable signalling-device may be employed. Fig. 8 shows the rotary form of counter in section. The screw-shaft engages with a worm-wheel P', provided, for the purpose of setting to zero, with a ratchet-drive R', Q<1> between it and the indicating-arm G', which rotates over a fixed graduated disc F<1>. A stop H<1> may be clamped in desired position to engage and displace the hammer K<1> pivoted to the arm, and thus cause it to sound the bell L'. Alternatively, the arm may be stationary and the disc revolve, and, if there is direct driving between-the screwshaft and the disc, suitable disconnecting-means are employed to allow the reel to be stripped from the spindle when full. A plurality of scales may be marked on the bar or disc, and the former may be pivoted so as to actuate the bell-mechanism under the control of adjustable stops.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Liquid Fuel Burners.
Inventor: LEISTNER CARL
Filed: 1904-11-10
Granted: 1905-12-09
Abstract: 24,372. Leistner, C. Nov. 10. Spray burners.- In liquid-fuel burners for steamgenerator, glass, and metal furnaces, and for other purposes, the ejected mixture of spray and airis surrounded by an air jacket to ensure complete combustion, and the oil supply is automatically regulated to the pressure of the air used for spraying the oil. The oil is admitted to the body k of the burner through a pipe e, and passes out at the conical valve m<1> of the nozzle p. Compressed air from the pipe f is separated from the oil in the body k by a partition l, curved to clear the regulating-spindle m of the oil valve m<1>, and, after passing through the annular chamber t, issues, through the orifice i in the adjustable impingement plate h, with the oil, which is thus finely sprayed. Air at a moderate pressure is admitted to the casing a by a pipe a<1>, and issues around a ring d screwed on the nozzle g. Bosses b serve to carry the burner on pinions or trunnions. The supply pipes e, f screw into a ring j, fitted with a gland s and a packing-ring q. To regulate the oil supply, the air pipe f is connected to a cylinder p, Fig. 3, the piston-rod r of which is linked to a cock s in the oil-supply pipe e. Should the air pressure fall, the cock is closed by an adjustable spring t on the rod r. The liquid fuel and compressed air may be contained in the same reservoir so as to issue under the same pressure.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Motor Road Vehicles.
Filed: 1905-01-23
Granted: 1905-12-14
Abstract: 1314. Richardson, P., and Brotherhood- Crocker Motors, Ltd. Jan. 23. Motor road vehicles.-Relates to the arrangement of levers for changing the gear and reversing, and consists in so constructing them that the gear is changed by moving the controlling-lever through a limited arc, and the reverse gear is brought into action by an extended movement of the lever. A pair of levers a, a' are mounted one on each side of a third lever c on an horizontal shaft b, the three levers being fixed to three concentric sleeves, which are connected to the levers x, y, v respectively, the two former for changing the speed gear, and the latter for reversing. The lever c has a pivoted extension c', the oscillation of which operates the sliding triggers d, which are adapted to lock the lever c to one or other of the side levers a, a<1>. The controlling-lever is guided by the frame e with side plates e<2> having slots e<3>, which limit the motion of the lever when it is engaged with one of the side levers a, a<1>. Four changes of gear can thus be obtained, by operating the lever forward or backward on either side. The reverse gear is brought into operation by a movement of the lever c through an extended arc when not in engagement with either side lever. To prevent the smaller movements of the controlling-lever from effecting a reverse drive, the lever v, Fig. 4, is connected to the link f by a pin g moving in a slot in the link. The reversing-bar z, which is on the same sleeve as the link f, is thus kept out of action until the lever v is rotated through an extended arc. To provide for the immediate operation of the lever f when the lever v is reversed, a sliding finger h is provided, adapted to engage a hole in a flange carried by the pin g. The finger is normally held out of engagement by the spring h<1>, and is forced into the hole by a fixed cam-shaped projection (not shown), bearing on the head h<2>.

Granted: 1906-04-26
Abstract: 8896. Neuberth, F. G. April 28, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Moulding celluloid.- Eyelets, lacing-hooks, and the like are covered with plastic material, preferably pyroxylin, by means of a machine comprising fixed and movable dies. In a machine for covering the flanges of eyelets, a main shaft 4, Figs. 1 and 2, mounted in bearings on the frame 2, drives through bevel-gearing a shaft 16, from which the transferrer 100 is reciprocated. The eyelet blanks, Fig. 9, are supplied from the rotatable hopper 30 through the raceway 48, and thence are fed to the transferrer 100 by a spring- controlled pusher 120, reciprocated by means of a cam on the main shaft. The transferrer places the eyelet between the dies 192, 190, dwelling for the required interval at each end of its stroke. The covering-material in the form of washers is supplied from the rotatable hopper 60 through the raceway 78, where it is softened by the electric heating- coil 270, to the spring jaws 240 of the holder, shown in Figs. 4 and 5, from which it is taken by the moving die 192 reciprocated from an eccentric 152 on the main shaft 4. The covering-washers are fed to the holder one at a time by sliding separating-blades 256, 258, which are connected together and spring-controlled and are actuated by the die 192 pressing apart the jaws 240, one of which engages the swinging plate 262. The covering-washer is brought by the die 199, having an internal spring-controlled spindle 220, into contact with the eyelet blank, and the two are forced together against the die 190, as shown in Fig. 9. The dies are preferably so shaped that, while the washer is pressed round the eyelet flange, this flange is spread, thus making a more secure joint. The eyelet is discharged from the die 190 by the stripper 210, controlled by the spring 213 and reciprocated from the rod 214, which carries arms 217, 216 engaging a cam on the main shaft 4. The closed end of the eyelet blank is afterwards punched out by any suitable mechanism. Otherwise, the eyelet may be already open, in which case dies and spindles of the shape shown in Fig. 14 are employed.

Granted: 1906-01-11
Abstract: 16,593. Brauburger, E., and Optische Anstalt C. P. Goerz Akt.-Ges. Aug. 15. Shutters. - The two blinds of the shutter wind from separate tension rollers on to an upper roller, the different sections of this roller moving both independently and jointly by means of stop-pins and two coupling - devices, one a friction clutch and the other a locking- clutch. The end rollers 4, Figs. 1 and 3, for the blind 2 are loose on the axle 7, which carries friction disks 8 pressed in contact with the roller 3 of the blind 1 by end springs 9. In the widened part 10 of the periphery are rollers 11, the freedom of movement of which is limited by weak springs 12. The shutter is wound up by the gearing 19,18,17. The roller 4 rotates with the roller 3 through the clutch action of the rollers 11 until the stop 15 on the wheels 14 catch projections 16 and stop the further rotation of the rollers 4 and wheels 13. The blind 1 is then wound up further on the roller 3 until the required exposure slit is obtained. This is indicated by the projection 21 catching against the top 22, the latter being adjustable by an external slit indicating-device 27. When released from the retaining-pawl 32, both blinds run down until the pins 15 strike against the stops 16 from the other side and stop the rollers 4. The blind 1 continues to run down completely closing the slit, as the coupling-rollers 11 enter the widened part 10 against the action of the weak spring 12. For " ball " and " time exposures, the release lever 32 is moved by the handle 37 into different positions to engage projections on the segment 31 of the wheel 19. The teeth on the face of this segment form an inclined surface. In "ball exposures, the projection 34 catches the lever 32, and the shutter is held down until the push 33 is released. In the position for time exposures, the projection 34 passes the lever 32 when the push is released, but another projection 35 holds the shutter open until released a second time. The projection 34 can pass freely over the lever 34 because the segment 31 has turned so far that the lower range of teeth is underneath the lever 32.
