Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Treating with Fluids and Centrifuging Textile and other Materials.
IPC: D06B5/00
Filed: 1912-04-11
Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 8585. Sulzer, Geb. April 11, 1911, [Convention date]. Circulating or passing fluids through materials.-In apparatus for dyeing, bleaching, &c. by reversible fluid circulation, and for centrifuging textile materials in cops &c., having a closed casing and a vertically-adjustable drum, closable so as to form two separate chambers, packing-means f are arranged between the edges of the perforated circumferential walls of containing boxes l within the drum a and the perforated portions in the circumferential walls of the drum, the boxes being kept in contact with the packing by pressure members e so that treating-fluids can only pass to or from the inner chamber by passing through the materials in the boxes l. A vacuum may be maintained in the inner chamber of the casing during centrifuging, say, when dealing with sulphur dyes. The boxes l, which contain the materials to be treated, closely packed, are introduced from above into the drum a through a charging- opening in one side of the cover d of the casing. The clearance spaces between the hoxes l are filled as far as possible by water-tight hollow bodies k. The boxes having been firmly pressed by the pressure means e against the wall of the drum, the latter is raised by pressure liquid acting on the bottom of its spindle h, pressing its upper edge against packing b on the cover d, where it is locked by screws i. When the dyeing &c. process is finished, the screws i are loosened, the drum a is lowered, and the centrifuging is effected as usual.

Abstract: 13,604. Olsen, J. A., and Petrie, H. June 10. Bout raising, lowering, and supporting gear. -Clamps fitted to the bow and stern of the boat engage with wire hawsers suspended from a pair of heavy davits. By means of screw mechanism, the clamps may be loosened on the hawsers to allow the boat to run down the same to the water. The clamps C, Fig. 1, are in two parts c, c<1>, attached by a tongue and groove d, d', and are operated by right and left handed screws connected through universal joints b by a fore-and-aft shaft B<1>. The weight of the boat is taken by a nose j taking between jaws j<1>, j<11> on the boat. The universal joint allows the clamps to be folded back when the device is out of gear. In a modification, the clamps are carried from pivoted arms. In each clamp sheaves e or friction clutches engage the hawser f. The boats are supported outboard on pivoted skids, Fig 8, which may be collapsed to lie against the side of the ship. The skids carry chocks r. Fig. 6, which comprise eccentrically mounted sheaves q held up against the keel by latch mechanism q<1>. The hawsers are held taut near their free ends by grips s, Fig. 9, pivotally mounted on the free ends of bell-crank levers t, which are operated by nut-and-screw mechanism mounted on a pivoted beam S. Brake gear carried by the boat comprises a brake drum and, on the same shaft, rope drums around which are wound falls secured to the deck.

Abstract: 13,733. Martin, J. M. June 12. Mechanically operated by vehicle.-Apparatus for operating switches for diverting wagons, tubs, &c. into a branch track when travelling at an abnormal rate down an inclined way comprises means located so as to project into the path of the tub and adapted to be moved against the opposition afforded by a time resistance out of such path by the tub when passing at a normal speed, the time resistance preventing such movement of the means when the speed of the tub is abnormal. As shown in Fig. 3, a beam A', pivoted at C' and connected to the switches, projects into the path of the tub and is controlled in its movement by a dashpot D, so that, when the tub is travelling at an abnormal speed, the beam A<1> is not operated, and the tub is diverted into a branch track L. When the speed is normal, however, the beam A<1> and the switches are operated by the tub, which then continues on the main track.

Granted: 1915-06-10
Abstract: 4237. Electrizitõts Akt.-Ges. Hydrawerk. Feb. 19,1913, [Convention date]. Systems of charging and discharging galvanic batteries.-A low-potential work circuit, such as a bell circuit, is supplied from a secondary battery which is charged by a second battery adapted to be connected for charging purposes to high-potential mains either when the low-potential circuit is closed or when the voltage of the second battery falls to a predetermined value. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a battery 12 is placed across the lowpotential circuit 15, 17 containing a relay 18 adapted to be short-circuited by an electrolytic cell 26 placed in the circuit of a second battery 34. The relay 18 controls the connexion of the battery 34 to the high-potential mains provided with a fuse 5 and resistance 6 and to the battery 12. When the low-potential work circuit 15, 17 is closed and the relay 18 is not short-circuited, the relay operates to disconnect the batteries 34, 12 and to connect the battery 34 to the high-potential mains. When the low-potential work circuit is open, the relay 18 is de-energized and the battery 12 is connected to the battery 34 for charging. If the battery 34 be fully charged, the relay 18 is short-circuited by the cell 26 and the battery 34 is not connected to the charging-mains when the work circuit is closed. Any form of over-charge preventer may be employed to control the shortcircuiting contacts of the relay 18, and in the form shown in Fig. 4, an electrolytic cell 28 containing a hydrometer 32 is arranged to operate the shortcircuiting contacts 33. In a modification, the relay 18 controls contacts on the negative side of the battery 34 similar to those on the positive side. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the battery 34 works in parallel with the battery 12 until the former is discharged to a predetermined value when the cell 26 closes the circuit of the relay 18 to disconnect the batteries 12 and 34 and connects the latter to the high-potential charging-mains. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes also switching arrangements for connecting a low-potential work circuit to high-potential mains through a resistance by means of a battery and a relay in the low-potential circuit ; also a switching arrangement for a transformer comprising a battery and a relay which closes the primary side of the transformer when the secondary side is closed and vice-versa. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 8188. Stirk, J. G. April 1. Planing; shaping; slotting. -The tool feed and relieving devices for planing, slotting, or like machines are operated by electro-magnets or solenoids. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the plunger D, of the feed-solenoid A, which is raised on excitation, oscillates a toothed quadrant F, which engages a similar quadrant J loosely mounted on the feed-shaft E. Connected to the quadrant J is a drum K with an internal pawl which engages a ratchet-wheel M secured to the shaft. The amount of the feed is varied by staggered stops N on the drum engaging a stop P adjusted by a rack and pinion T, and may be shown on an indicator V carried by the pinion shaft. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the ratchet-wheel is operated by a pawl L on a lever K<1> connected by a rod J' to a block X mounted in a slot in a crank-disk F<1>, which is keyed to a stud G carrying at its other end a lever Z coupled to the solenoid plunger. The feed is varied by adjusting the block X by a screw X<1>. The tool 24, Fig. 5, is lifted on the back stroke by a rod 22 connected by a bell-crank lever 20 to the plunger 15 of a solenoid 13 which moves downward on excitation, the return movement of the tool and thus of the plunger being effected by gravity. The tool-relieving solenoid is in action during the whole of the back stroke, a two-way switch actuated by dogs on the table or other moving part being put into contact therewith. The switch controlling the feed is in action only during the feeding of the tool. It consists of a pair of fibre disks frictionally connected by spring bolts 6 to opposite sides of a flange On the rack-pinion shaft 2 or other reversing-shaft. The outer disk 4 has a flange 7 on which is fixed a copper or other strip 8 which engages the connecting-brushes 9. During the forward stroke of the 'machine, the stop 10 on the disk 4 is in contact with the stud 12, and on reversal the stop 11 is in contact therewith, the brushes engaging the part 8. In the latter case, the two-way switch is in contact with the tool-relieving solenoid until the reversal at the end of the return stroke, whereupon the feed movement occurs and the switch 3, 4 is reversed into the position shown in Fig. 8, the solenoid plunger D returning by gravity. ' A motor E<1> may be used for operating the shaft E when a continuous rotary motion is required.
