Blowing; moulding.- In a machine for making glass hollow - ware, the blowing-moulds 9, Fig. 3, are mounted upon a table 3 which is rotated intermittently by hand about a central column 1. The parison moulds 10 are carried upon rods 11, which move vertically in guides 15 fixed to the table 3. As the table 3 rotates, the parison mould 10 is raised into the blowing-mould by the action of a cam 16 upon a roller 13 mounted on the lower end of the rod 11. The molten metal is placed in the mould and pressed by a hand or compressedair operated plunger 37. The table is then rotated further and the parison mould 10 lowered by the action of the cam 16. The mould bottom 31, which has been held back against the action of a spring 34 by a cam 29, is also released and moves to the position shown on the right of Fig. 3. The blowing-head 22 is carried by a blowpipe 21, which slides vertically in a guide 27 and is connected by an arm 23 with a rod 24, which is raised and lowered periodically by a cam 20, adjustably fixed to the table 3. As soon as the blowing mould containing the parison comes beneath the blowing- head 22, the latter is lowered and the ware blown. The table is held between each successive rotation by a foot-operated spring bolt of ordinary construction. Fig. 6 shows a modification adapted to be driven by power. A connecting-rod 49 is reciprocated by a bell-crank lever 47 driven by a cam 46 on a continuously-driven main shaft 45. The rod 49 operates a bell-crank lever 50 provided with a pawl 52, which engages a toothed wheel 53 on a shaft 51. from which the table 3 is driven by bevel-gear. The pressing-plunger is driven by a crank on the shaft 45. The remaining operations are similar to those already described.

Granted: 1908-10-23
Abstract: 23,448. Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges. Oct. 24, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dynamos, alternating-current ; motors, alternating-current.-Alternating-current commutator machines, having rotors short-circuited in the axis of the stator winding and excited in the axis perpendicular thereto, are provided with series and shunt exciting windings arranged upon the rotor, or with a single rotor winding having separate paths for the series and shunt currents, the shunt winding or path being energized by a potential proportional to the net potential and the series winding or path being arranged in series with the stator winding, either directly or through a transformer and serving to strengthen the main field. The machines have an approximately constant speed between no-load and full-load. Fig. 1 shows the rotor provided with two windings m, l connected to separate commutators, the winding l being fed from the main transformer t with a shunt potential e through brushes b, and the brushes b<1> of the winding m being connected in series with the stator winding p. Either the winding m or the winding l, or both windings, may be provided with short-circuited brushes s. One half of the rotor winding may act as series winding and the other half as shunt winding by sending in current through the short-circuited brushes, as shown in Fig. 2, the series part of the rotor winding being connected to the winding p through a two-coil or auto-transformer t. In starting, it is advisable to eliminate the shunt exciting current, or to weaken it by inserting in the conductors h or i a disconnecting switch or an adjustable resistance, the potential impressed upon the two other conductors being first reduced and then gradually raised. According to the Specification in the original form, as published under the Act of 1901, the series exciting winding may be constituted by an auxiliary stator winding, which may be combined with the main stator winding to form a single double-axis winding if the series connexion is made through a transformer ; in the machine shown in Fig. 2, one of the two exciting currents may be passed through the whole armature winding, the other current only passing through the half ; the machines are stated to be of the type illustrated in Specification No. 1662, A.D. 1907. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Brakes for Motor Cars.
Inventor: HALLOT PAUL
Filed: 1907-11-09
Granted: 1908-11-05
Abstract: 24,863. Hallot, P. Nov. 9. Brakes.-In a brake for motor-cars, the brake box 14 secured to the axle carries two semicircular brake blocks 49, 50, pivoted at 51 to the box 14 and constantly pressed against the inner surface of a loose crown or pulley 1 by a cam 47 acted on by a tensioned spring 48. Blocks 13, carried in pockets in the brake box 14, also engage with the pulley 1 by centrifugal action. When the pulley 1 is prevented from rotating, braking action takes place between the blocks 49, 50, 13 and the inner surface of the pulley, and, as the speed decreases, the action of blocks 13 also decreases. The pulley may be held stationary by two cones 4, 5 acting on the inclined outer surfaces 2, 3 of the pulley and carried by arms 6, 7 connected to the levers 10. The operating-rod 11 is connected to a member 20 carrying a pin 18 on which slides a sleeve 21 connected to the lever 10, and a spring 17 is interposed between the parts 20, 21. The pins 18 are secured to a cone 16 adapted to engage a clutch member 15 on the brake box 14. When the rods 11 are moved, the levers 10 are first operated, and after the clutches 4, 5 have engaged with the pulley 1, further movement of the rods 11 compresses the spring 17 and moves the cone 16 into contact with the clutch member 15.
