Granted: 1913-08-28
Abstract: 28,238. Rockstroh, M. Dec. 6. Stopping-arrangements.-Relates to guards for platen printing-machines of the kind that stop the machine when a guard-member is moved by the operator's hand, and consists in making the guard-member in the form of a plate or grid covering the space between the platen and the bed, to prevent insertion of the hand after the guard has been set. In the device shown in Fig. 2, as applied to a machine with a rocking platen, a bar 3 is supported across the top of the platen by links 2, 4 pivoted respectively to the main frame and to the platen. The bar 3 carries a guard-plate 6, the lifting of which causes a tappet 7 to swing into engagement with an arm 8, whereby, by means of a crank 9 and link 12, a catch 10 is released from the spring shaft 13 controlling the stop mechanism. In a modification, an intermediate member pivoted to the platen is caused, when the guard-plate is lifted, to actuate the handlever controlling the stop mechanism. In a modification applicable to machines having a stationary horizontal platen and a rocking typebed, the guard-plate slides on guides on the front of the type bed and is arranged so as to. descend in advance of the bed. If its descent is arrested the stopping-mechanism is operated. A catch is provided to lift the guard with the bed on the return.

Abstract: 2581. Steingõsser, J., and Gottesleben, E. Jan. 31. Polishing - machines. - A machine for grinding and polishing wood comprises an electric motor a having on its shaft a squared part g on which a tube f is adapted to slide, this tube carrying at its lower end a shaft k and being loosely guided in another tube e secured to the motor casing. To the shaft k is secured a spherical body 6 engaged by shells 7 carried by a ring v projecting from a plate w, the shells having slots in which the heads of screws 17, screwed into the spherical body, engage, thus imparting the rotary motion of the shaft to the plate. Secured to the plate by springs x is a polishing-disk t, polishing-liquid being supplied to a chamber y on this disk from bottles o having pipes z leading to a funnel 1, the liquid flowing through the interior of the spherical body; holes 5 in the polishing-disk permit the liquid to flow on to the work. The tool is manipulated by a framework m, n having handles l and carried by a sleeve p mounted on the shaft k; a spring s serves to hold the tool normally in its highest position. The motor is mounted, by means of a shaft 12 and pivoted block, in a carriage 9 adapted to run on a rail 16.

Abstract: 4508. Kettering, C. F. March 4, 1912, [Convention date]. Rotary distributors and interrupters.-In an electric ignition system comprising a low-tension generator or magneto and coil in combination with a battery and the relay device described in Specification 5902/11, the timing-device 58, Fig. 3, for the interrupter and distributor of the battery system is similar to that described in Specification 11,292/11, and comprises a shaft 51, which drives a sleeve 52 carrying the interrupter cam and the distributor arm. The sleeve 52 is provided with a helical slot 53 engaged by a pin 54 carried by a loose ring 55, the position of which can be adjusted by means of a lever 58 connected to the timing-lever in order to adjust the relative positions of the sleeve and driving- shaft. The timing-device 120 for the interrupter and distributor of the generator system is similar to that for the battery system and is controlled by the same lever but is provided with a slot 142, Fig. 2, of varying angularity, so as to compensate for the lag which occurs in the battery system due to the presence of the relay device. The upper part of the slot 142 is so formed as to give a comparatively rapid advance of the spark when the engine is to be driven at excessively high speeds. In order to prevent sparking at the contact points of the interrupter of the generator timing-device 120, a condenser 200 is provided, the condenser being arranged to form a cover for the lubricating-chamber of the timing-device.

Abstract: 11,014. Motsinger, H. N. Jan. 10, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Seats and faces.-In a carburettor for internal-combustion engines, the air and fuel valves are of the lift type and are so formed that equal increments of lift of the valve give equal increments of area. Assuming the fuel and air orifices to be of circular form, the Specification describes a method of determining mathematically the exact shape of valve necessary to fulfil the above condition. The shape of valve obtained approaches a paraboloid, a form which, it is stated, may be used where extreme accuracy is not required, but it is pointed out that the difference between approximating parabolas and the true form becomes more marked in valves wherein the lift is less than the orifice diameter.
