Inventor: MAEUSEL ANASTASIUS
IPC: B21B41/04
Filed: 1912-02-14
Granted: 1912-07-04
Abstract: 3723. Mõusel, A., and Niedergesõss, P. Feb. 14. Rolling.-A loop-return feed mechanism for a plate-rolling mill consists of a number of wire cables i passing over groups of pulleys e, f, g, h mounted in a frame d; the pulleys e are carried on a driven spindle e' mounted in brackets e<2> secured to the rolling-mill frame, and the frame is also pivoted on this spindle and secured to the mill frame by set-screws c<1>. A pivoted stripper n guides the sheets between the pulleys g and the cables, and the sheets are further guided by guides r, v, x and rollers s, t. When the rolling is completed, the stripper n is raised and the sheets are guided to rollers z. To discharge the work at the front of the mill, the guides v are raised the work then passing over the roller t.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Sighting Devices for Small Arms.
Inventor: MUELLER ALFRED
IPC: F41G1/44
Filed: 1912-04-10
Granted: 1913-01-30
Abstract: 8501. M³ller, A. Nov. 2S, 1911, [Convention date]. Sights.-Relates to auxiliary sighting-devices for use when firing at targets invisible to the marksman, of the type in which an arm containing a spirit-level, which is observed by the aid of a mirror, is pivoted to a plate provided with a graduated scale over which moves an index on the arm, and consists (1) in means for readily securing the device to the gun, and (2) in means for mounting the mirror upon the index arm. The invention is illustrated in side and front elevation in Figs. 2 and 3. A graduated plate d is adapted to be secured to the weapon by a snap bolt d' immediately to the rear of the ordinary back sight, or on the stock, and carries a pivoted index arm b<0> provided with a spirit-level b, which arm may be clamped in any position to the plate by a screw h. Rotatably mounted on the index arm is a mirror e, which may be held in any desired position with respect to the arm by means of a button i sliding in a slot in an arm f pivoted to the index arm. In use, the officer in sight of the target aims at the target using the ordinary sights, and when his gun is at the correct elevation he rotates the arm b<0> of the device attached to his gun until the spirit-level, observed by the aid of the mirror e, is horizontal. He then calls out to his men under cover the reading on the scale c opposite which the index a stands. Each man has one of the devices attached to his gun, and he communicates the necessary elevation to the gun by setting the index a opposite the given reading on the scale, and elevating the gun until the spirit-level is horizontal.

Inventor: ORMISTON HARRY ORMISTON
IPC: C22C21/00
Filed: 1913-03-12
Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 6166. Ormiston, H. O. Dec. 24, 1912, [Convention date]. Alloys.-Aluminium alloys contain also cadmium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, and, optionally, magnesium. In the preparation of the alloys, copper and nickel are first added to a fused flux consisting of borax, sulphates of mercury, cadmium, and nickel, and copper nitrate or sulphate, or both, with or without magnesium sulphate. When the mass is in a quiet fluid condition, tin, lead, and aluminium are added. Bauxite may be used instead of aluminium, in which case the final stage of the treatment is effected in an electric furnace for the extraction of the aluminium. The resultant alloy is a stock-metal, with which aluminium, tin, lead, copper, and nickel are subsequently alloyed. The finished alloys may be alloyed with ordinary solder, and used to coat aluminium, copper, or iron, &c. surfaces before they are united by soldering.

Under normal circumstances, the gates are closed, but during the passage of a ship, the horizontally-sliding shutters of the gate press against the sides of the ship or of a receptacle enclosing it, and a vertically sliding shutter also forming a portion of the gate presses closely against the bottom of the ship or the receptacle enclosing it. After the vessel has passed the shutters close again. If the difference of level is small, the lock is dispensed with, and a single gate is employed as shown in Fig. 2, in which a vessel c is shown passing between the shutters a of the gate. The shutters a and the vertically moving shutter b shown in plan in Fig. 9, may be pressed back by the ship or the former may be operated by racks and the latter by winches.

Title: Machine for Stripping Filling or Roving from Bobbins.
Inventor: GOLBY FREDERICK WILLIAM
IPC: B65H73/00
Filed: 1913-10-17
Granted: 1914-02-05
Abstract: 23,540. Golby, F. W., [Fitchburg Bobbin Cleaning Machine Co.]. Oct. 17. Bobbins, stripping waste from.-A machine for stripping waste filling or roving from bobbins comprises a number of units each having an horizontal hopper 37 into which the bobbins are dropped. A shaft 16 driven from the shaft 11 carries segmental wheels 17 (one for each unit) each gearing with a rack 18 on a slide 19 running on rollers and carrying a plunger 27 passing through a supporting- guide 28. The underside of each slide is connected by a belt with a pulley 24 on a shaft 25 provided with coiled springs 26 which normally keep the slides in the retracted position until the racks are engaged by the segmental gears. The return impact of the slides is received by soft-faced buffers 30 controlled by springs 32 and adjustable collars 33. At the forward end of each hopper is a fixed jaw 58 having a recessed edge to receive the shank of the bobbin and over which the bobbin is forced, and the waste consequently stripped therefrom, by the plunger 27 when a movable recessed jaw 57 is down over the fixed jaw. The jaws 57 are carried by shafts 48, and are normally kept down over the fixed jaws by springs 49 around the shafts, one end of each spring engaging the hopper and the other being fixed to a collar 51 on the shaft. When a bobbin is dropped in a hopper, the smaller end is guided by lugs 38 which also serve to guide the plunger, so that the larger end engages a lever 60 provided with guards 65 and normally held by a spring 61 in the inclined position shown in Fig. 4, a stop 62, engaging a lug on a bracket 64 supporting the forward end of the hopper and limiting the upward movement of the lever. A cam 40 on the shaft 16 operates a lever 41 fulcrumed in a bracket 42 and connected by a strap 44, passing around an idle pulley 45, with a rod 50 connected by straps with drums 47 on the shafts 48. As the plunger 27 moves forward, the bobbin pushes the lever 60 back to a nearly horizontal position until the teeth of the segmental wheel leave the rack 18, which is then forced back by the spring 26, and the jaw 57 is rotated to the vertical position by the action of the cam 40, thus allowing the lever 60 to force the bobbin shank up against the jaw 57 and direct the small end, which is now unsupported, through the opening 39 in the bottom of the hopper; when the jaw 57 moves out of the way, the spring 61 moves the lever 60 up so as to slide the bobbin through the opening 39, through which the stripped roving has already passed. A plate 70 hinged to the frame 10 and controlled by a spring 71 is disposed under each hopper to receive the bobbins and roving, the roving being collected on a notched roller 76 on a shaft 75 and the bobbins passing between the roller and plate to a suitable receptacle. The rollers 76 are cleaned from time to time by running a knife along the notches to cut the roving.
