Abstract: 9646. Kynnersley, T. R. S. April 23. Change-speed gearing; clutches, applications of.-Belt-driven motor-cycles, tri-cars, &c. are provided with means for adjusting the tension of the belt while running, conjointly with the operation of the expanding pulley, when one is fitted. Fig. 1 shows the application of the device to a cycle fitted with a variable-speed gear. The expanding pulley B is operated by a lever A, connected by a rod e to a lever which is pivoted to an extension of the cycle frame and carries a jockey-pulley C, situated to the rear of the driven belt rim so that the belt contacts with the rim in two places. When the expanding pulley is operated, the jockey-pulley is moved to keep the belt tension constant. The rod e is adjusted by a right and left handed screw h, and may have a spring f inserted in it, to take up slight variations in the tension. A modification is described in which the device is applied to a cycle without change-speed gear. Where an automatic expanding pulley is employed, the lever A is dispensed with, and the tension maintained by a spring f. This may also be done in the other cases described above.

Abstract: 14,345. Siemens-Schuckertwerke. June 14, 1909, [Convention date]. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power; regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for. - Continuous - current motors are regulated for constant speed by a quick - action regulator which periodically short-circuits a resistance and so affects the excitation of the motor or of the generator supplying the motor. The trembler coil z of the regulator is connected in series with the resistance r<2>, Fig. 1, and the field winding m of the motor which is supplied from the mains P, N. The other coil s of the regulator is connected with the armature of a dynamo t on the motor shaft. The field coil of the dynamo is supplied from the mains P, N through iron resistances w. The contacts k, l, which are operated by the coils z, s, are arranged when closed to shortcircuit the resistance r<2>. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the motor m is supplied by a dynamo d driven by a three-phase motor b. The trembler coil z is connected to the dynamo d through the resistance r<3>, and the potential coil s is connected to the armature of the machine t through the resistance r<1>. The regulator contacts periodically short-circuit the resistance r<2> in the field circuit of the dynamo d. The arrangement can be adjusted for a greater speed by increasing the resistance r' in circuit with the potential coil s. The arms of the resistances r<1>, r<2>, r<3> are connected so that the three are adjusted simultaneously, the resistance r<2> being decreased when the others are increased. An exciter e on the dynamo shaft supplies the field windings.

Granted: 1911-07-06
Abstract: 27,063. Smith, C. E. Nov. 21. Gilding, silvering, and platinizing.-Relates to machines for packaging metallic leaf in rolls, and consists in applying an increased pressure to the rear end of the metallic leaf as it is being fed to the wrapping-strip to prevent it from dropping away, and also in employing means for abrading one side of the strip preparatory to the reception of the leaf. The sheets are lapped on the strip by hand-operated means. The feed-table L, Fig. 8, is arranged between cheeks or swivel guides entering longitudinal grooves in the table. The table is provided with a slide J<1>, on which is located the book of gold - beater's skin which can be moved backwards and forwards independently of the movement of the feeding-table. The outer end of the table is pressed down to bring the forward end of the leaf into lapping contact with the previously-applied sheet. The table is then carried forward under the cylindrical bed H, around which passes the wrapping- paper from a roll h. Studs on the table cooperate with slots on an upwardly spring- pressed track member W<1> which is connected to a dash-pot to check sudden movement when relieved of the weight of the table. On continued movement of the table, the studs clear the ends x of the slots and the slide is carried backwards by the rack J. The co-operation of the track member and the spring bolt I<1> produces a gradually increasing pressure as the rear end of the leaf is reached, thus preventing it from falling away from the cylindrical bed. Crocus, rotten-stone, &c. is fed on to the strip from a hopper K<1> and spread evenly by a weighted member i. A scratch brush B<1> abrades the surface.

Abstract: 1811. Schimmel, F. Sept. 10, 1910, [Convention date]. Single - type composing and casting machines; matrices.- The matrices of a fount are formed on the periphery of a prismatic block which is continuously rotated and reciprocated along its axis. The block is arrested with the required character opposite to the mould by suitable means controlled by the keyboard of the machine. A number of matrix blocks j, Fig. 1, bearing different founts are mounted in a verticallymovable frame a so that they may be brought into use as required. The blocks j may be formed each in a single piece, but preferably the matrices are formed in the edges of plates k, Fig. 4, which are separated by washers l. Each block j is mounted on a shaft f which is rotated by means of a gearwheel g and has at one end a drum h containing spirallyarranged holes i which are engaged by pins projected by the keys. The matrix-block has a key engaging a groove in the shaft, and is reciprocated by a finger t on an arm u, which is stopped by suitable means controlled by the keys when the required matrix-plate is opposite to the mould. A comb o, of which the teeth are equal in thickness to the characters on the matrix-block, slides with the block j on a rod n and serves to adjust the width of the mould. The shafts f are mounted in spring - pressed bearings so that the matrix - block in use is pressed by the mould against a cross-bar b. Two teeth x on the mould enter recesses y in the plates k in order to aline the characters. The frame carrying the matrix-blocks may be horizontally displaceable, or the blocks may be carried on a wheel. Moulds.-The mould r, Fig. 3, slides to and from the matrix-block, and closes on one of the teeth of the comb o in order to assume the width of the character to be cast.
