Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 8996. Anson, E., Henderson, J. H., and Eastick, J. C. N. April 14. Arrangement; connexions; connexions to carbons. - In a portable primary cell, a tubular carbon or other negative electrode d is supported by cast lead in a hole punched in a metal cover b, which screws on the cell and forms a terminal. The lead is screw-threaded on the inside to receive an aluminium or other metal plug e, from which it is insulated by ebonite, for instance. The zinc or other positive g is attached to this plug e, either by a screw, as shown, or by a bolt and nut, a rubber washer m being interposed, and is connected by the plug to a metal upper cover j which forms a terminal and fits in the battery box; an ebonite ring supports this upper terminal j and also a rubber washer l which is compressed by the plug e to form a hermetic seal. For series connexion, adjacent terminals are insulated by strips n. If a bolt and nut is used to attach the zinc g to the plug e, the nut presses on a spring strip which crosses the plug and has a stud at eacli end bearing on and connecting with the upper terminal j. Each cell can be finished separately before being placed in the battery box.

Abstract: 28,154. Davison, P. R. Dec. 14. Grab-buckets.-In a single-chain grab of the kind that is discharged by suspending from a crane-ring, the head c, from which the outer corners of the buckets a are hung, is formed with a keyhole slot, and the suspending-hook j is provided with a cross-bar j<2> bearing against the hauling-chain. The parts e, e<1> of the slot in the suspension head c, shown in plan in Fig. 7, are of different width so that a conical block i on the hoisting-chain h can pass through the wider part e only. The suspending-hook j is bifurcated and pivoted at its feet to the head c, the chain passing between the legs of the hook and being guided by a cross-pin j<2>. The hoisting-chain is reeved round pulleys f<1>, g arranged respectively on the pivot b of the buckets a and on a frame f attached to the head c. In the position shown in Fig. 1, the grab is resting on the material, and by hauling on the chain, the grab-is closed, the block i rising through the wider slot e. To discharge the grab, it is raised until the hook engages a ring suspended from the crane. As the hook takes the load, it swings into a vertical position and draws the chain into the narrow slot e'. The chain is paid out and the grab opens, the block i being guided outwards into the wide slot by bevelled faces c<2>. On again hauling in the chain, the block i engages a recess beneath the head c and lifts the open grab off the crane ring.

Abstract: 28,660. British Northrop Loom Co., [Northrop Loom Co.]. Dec. 20. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-The back wall 12 of the magazine is pivoted at 14 to the end wall, and is drawn by a spring 15 towards the fixed front wall 10 of the throat 8, which is thus normally too small to permit the weft-carriers to escape. When, however, the transferrer 9 is depressed, the back wall is moved outwards to allow the lowest weft-carrier to be transferred, this movement of the back wall agitating the weft-carriers sufficiently to ensure their proper movement from staggered or plural-line formation in the upper part of the magazine to single-line formation in the lower part thereof. When the transferrer is depressed, a projection 20 thereon acts on and rocks, against spring action, a positioning-lever 18, 18<1> furnished with a spring-controlled lever or blade 21. This blade is thereby caused to move behind the second lowest weft-carrier 7<a> and, on the return of the transferrer, moves this weft-carrier into position beneath the transferrer.

Abstract: 2733. Keall, F. B., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Feb. 2. Work - supports. - A shoe-holding jack of the type described in Specification 14,696/08,[Class 17, Boots &c.], is provided with a c l a m p which adjusts itself and engages the shoe with the same pressure irrespective of the size or the thickness of the shoe to be held. The clamp C is pivoted to the lower end of a slider C<1> which is adapted to slide in a plunger B, which itself moves in a casting A<3> secured to a bracket on the machine frame. The slider C<1> is provided with a flange C<2> at its upper end, which is adapted to abut against an internal flange B' on the plunger B. A strong spring D, situated below and bearing against the internal flange B<1>, presses down upon a collar C' screwed upon the slider C<1>. The upper part of the plunger is provided with racks B<5>, which are adapted to be engaged by pawls E, E<1> pivoted to a slide F, which can be moved through a toggle connexion with a hand-lever H<1>. When the toggle is broken and the slide lifted, the plunger B is lifted by shoulders on the slide engaging shoulders on the upper part of the racks B<5>. The slider C' is also lifted towards the end of the upward movement by the flange B<1> on the plunger engaging the flange C<2> on the slider. The pawls E, E<1> are lifted from the racks during the upward movement of the slide F, by shields J supported by the pivot of the lever H<1>. After the shoe has been placed in position, the slide F is depressed, and the slider C' and plunger B move downwards together under the pressure of a light spring F<3> situated between a downward extension F<1> of the slide F and an abutment on the slider C<1>. After the clamp engages the work, the spring F<3> yields, permitting the slide F to continue its movement until the pawls E, E' clear the shields J and engage one or other of the racks B<5>. The plunger B is thus forced down and exerts the full clamping pressure on the work through the strong spring B<2>. A stop is provided to retain the lever in a position in which it holds the toggle extended.

Abstract: 12,674. Schlichter, J. von Hlatky-. May 29. Ground levers.-An operating-device for railway points and a signal for indicating the position of the points are arranged so that. if the points-operating rod breaks, the lamp or other visual signal cannot be moved. The hand-lever g operates the points by coaction of the pin g<1> and the slotted lever h, and, during the operation of the points, displays a special dangersignal drum e and a coloured-glass cylinder E by the rod i jointed to the plate k. The signal cylinder a is rotated with its spindle l by a rod f connected to the points. The spindle l has a key fitting slots in the plate k, which is lifted by the first movement of the lever g clear of the key, and exposes the signal e and puts the coloured glass E before the signal lamp. The further movement of the lever g moves the points c and the signal spindle l. The last part of the movement of the lever g lowers the plate k, if the slot in the plate k is in register with the key on the spindle l, and removes the special signal drum and cylinder. In its end positions, the lever g locks the signal by pins 11, 12 entering holes in a plate 13, and this serves to ensure full operation of the signal.
