Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 1244. Monsma, F. J. Jan. 17. Lift v a l v e s ; freezing, preventing; casings.-Relates to draw - off water cocks, for use on service pipes in buildings for emptying the pipes automatically to prevent injury by freezing when a discharge tap in the basement &c. is opened, and particularly to cocks in which a ball valve is closed by fluid pressure thereon and opened by a screw, the invention consisting in constructing the valve casing without recesses in which water could be retained and frozen, and in providing means, such as a bar 7, for preventing the ball from entering the bore of the pipe. The casing is formed with an upright valve chamber 2, the bottom of which is level with the supply pipe and is formed of a screw plug 6. The seating washer 3 lies in a recess in the casing and abuts against an integral shoulder 4. The valve is operated preferably by a left-handed screw 8.

Abstract: 2551. Altmann, C. P. Feb. 1. Frames and arrangements of bearings. - In order to facilitate the removal of the crankshaft and the inspection of the interior of a steam or internal-combustion engine, the frame is formed in two parts a, b hinged on pins c, and forming between them rectangular spaces 1, 2, 3, 4 for the reception of the crank-shaft bearings d. These are secured by wedge-shaped filling-pieces g acted on by screws e and secured by bolts i passing through oval holes. The two parts of the frame are separated by pieces f secured by bolts h, and between the pieces f an inspection door k is arranged. When it is desired to remove the crank-shaft, the upper part a of the frame is swung back by tightening the nuts n, m of bolts passing through lugs l. The shaft can then be rolled out by placing supports beneath the pulley o and disk p.

Abstract: 3482. Challis, C. E. Feb. 12. [Addition to 9564/09.] Cutting and slicing vegetables &c.-The slicing-machine described in the parent Specification is provided with means for regulating the thickness of the cut slice and for the rapid detachment of the parts for cleaning. The fence or gauge L is provided with a recess containing a spring or rubber buffer N. The distance between the fence and the blade K is varied to regulate the thickness of the slice by rotating the shaft after the non-rotatable collar J has been slid over the nut G, the collar being shaped to fit over the nut and thus lock it against rotation. The collar is held in its end positions by a spring catch which engages recesses therein. The parts of the machine can be detached for cleaning purposes by removing the nut. A collar H with a D-shaped aperture fitting on a flattened portion of the shaft prevents the normal rotation of the nut from being retarded. A guard-plate M having a peripheral flange rotates with the gauge, and prevents jamming of the cut slice between the knife and gauge.

Abstract: 13,939. Seabrook, N. B. July 6, 1909, [Convention date]. Force-freed lubricating.-Couplings for railway-vehicle divided axles, and other bearings, are lubricated by a mixture of oil and graphite confined under pressure. Before inserting the enlarged part 7 of the axle 6 into a coupling sleeve 2, lubricant is placed in the sleeve. The insertion of the part 7 under pressure forces the lubricant through the spaces in the coupling, and the walls are somewhat distended so that the lubricant is confined under pressure. A lubricating-ring 9 composed of plugs of graphite 10 embedded in Babbitt-metal is placed between the parts 5, 7 and has grooves for the passage of the lubricant. Babbitt-metal rings 13 formed with rifle grooves 14 encircle the axle 3. In assembling the parts, air is expelled through openings 15, 16, which are afterwards sealed by plugs 18, 19. Storage chambers 20, 22 for lubricant are formed in the axles 3, 6 and contain spring-pressed plungers 21, 23. In a modification, a bush is placed between the parts 2 7, and roller bearings surround the collar 5.

Granted: 1911-07-20
Abstract: 29,802. Murphy, T. J. Dec. 22. Converting alternating and direct currents.- Relates to a system for producing high-tension electric discharges and electric oscillations for use in wireless telegraphy &c. A pair of carbon disks 3, 4, close together and rotating in opposite directions, are connected in series with a choking-coil 24 and the primary 16 of an induction coil 17, to the terminals 1, 2 of a 110-volt direct current system. A condenser 7 and an adjustable spark-gap 8 are connected as a shunt across the electrodes 3, 4. The primary 13 of an ordinary Rhumkorff coil 9 is also connected to the supply circuit through the vibrator and contact 10, 11 and regulating-resistance 15 on one side, and a Morse tapping key 14 on the other. The ends of the secondary 12 are connected through choking coils 25 to the condenser 7. When the key 14 is depressed, the Rhumkorff coil charges the condenser 7 to a high potential. The condenser discharges across the gap 8 and the space between the electrodes 3, 4, starting an arc through which flows a large current from the source 1, 2. Owing to the rotation of the electrodes, the arc is carried downwards and lengthened, and is finally ruptured. The effect of the rotation is assisted by the field of the magnet 21, the coils of which are connected to the supply circuit or to another source. The sudden stoppage of the current in the primary 16 of the induction coil 17 causes a very high pressure to be set up in the secondary 18, producing a powerful discharge across the terminals 19.

Title: Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Dextrine.
Inventor: HERVEY CHARLES
IPC: C08B30/18
Filed: 1911-07-14
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 16,284. Hervey, C. July 14. Dextrin.-In making dextrin by the combined action of heat and acid on farinaceous materials, for instance wheat starch, maize, corn starch, tapioca, cassava flour, farina, the reaction materials are enclosed in narrow vessels immersed in hot water; the vessels are placed at small distances apart, and the water is kept at or near boiling point. If higher temperatures are required, other liquids or other heating-arrangements are used. The whiteness of the product, a fine white dextrin, may be enhanced by addition of a little aqueous solution of white glycerine. In an example, the following steps take place: (1) passing the farinaceous material through a dressing-machine to remove grit &c. and produce a uniform fine powder; (2) thoroughly mixing the acid, for example equal quantities of dilute hydrochloric and nitric acids, with the powder; (3) dressing the mixture; (4) sealing the dressed mixture in suitable narrow vessels; (5) arranging, say ten, filled vessels in a brick-lined pit; and (6) raising the temperature of the water in the pit to boiling point by the use of steam introduced through perforated pipes at the bottom of the pit. The temperature is maintained for about twelve hours.

Abstract: 18,888. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. Aug. 22. Ordnance breech mechanism. - Relates to firing-mechanism of the type described in Specification 29,929/10, and consists in improved means for transmitting motion from the breechactuating mechanism to the lock-casing. To the sliding member F, which is operated through the link D' by the breech-actuating mechanism, is pivoted a pair of links E having toes E<1Î> engaging inclined guides a<1>, a<2> on the lockcasing A. As the member F slides to the right, the casing A receives a slight rearward movement, owing to the co-operation of the inclined surfaces e<2> on the links E with the guides a<2> on the casing, whereby the used primer is extracted from the vent axial, and a new primer is extracted from the magazine C by an undercut groove on the front surface of the casing similar to that described in the before-mentioned Specification. Shoulders e<Î> on the links E then engage fixed stops B<Î>, causing the links to turn on their pivot e, and, through the guide a<2>, to force the casing rearwards along the guides b<Î> until its motion is checked by a projection on the casing entering a recess F<2> on the member F. Continued motion of the member F slides the casing A to the right until the new primer dislodges the old one and takes its place. The motion of the casing is then reversed until it strikes the guide b<Î>, whereupon the casing is urged forward, to insert the new primer into the vent axial, by the links E, which are caused to rotate in the reverse sense by the engagement of their extensions EX with the stops B<Î>. During the initial motion of the links E, guide-surfaces e'X thereon, which are preferably steeper than the guide - surfaces e<2>, co-operate with projections a<1Î> of the striker, effecting a quick retraction. The rotation of the primer magazine C is produced in a manner similar to that described in the before-mentioned Specification.
