Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 26,152. Lee, H., and Brown, J. B. Nov. 11. Movable - abutment type; valve-gear; packing drums and abutm e n t s. - Relates to rotary engines, pumps, meters, &c. provided with outwardly - sliding abutments, preferably yoked together externally by an adjustable frame, and having packing-devices and bearing- shoes of special construction. The engine consists of inner and outer members, either of which is fixed while the other rotates. The outer member 11 may form the hub of a roadwheel, or the hub of the armature in a dynamo or motor. Abutments 20 are made to bear on the eccentric inner member 6 by rods 24 and a yoke 26 fitted with an adjusting-stud 27 and sliding in external guides. Fluid is admitted and discharged through a hollow shaft 3, 4 and ports 7, 8 on opposite sides of a diaphragm 32 in the member 6. The ports 7, 8 do not extend across the full width of the member 6. The abutment-shoes 28, 29, which may be cut away at the middle, form cut-off valves in their motion around the periphery of the member 6. Where, as shown in Fig. 4, one shoe is engaged by a single foot of an abutment, and the other by two feet, the latter are spaced apart by a distance equal to twice the eccentricity of the inner member 6. Where both abutments are provided with two feet, these are spaced apart by a distance equal to the eccentricity. For reversing, the inlet and outlet are interchanged, or a reversing-valve 33, Fig. 14, may replace the diaphragm 32, a lever 38 serving to place the ports 7, 8 in connexion with the inlet or outlet as required. The head 43 of the member 6 may have a portion of its periphery k, Fig. 12, not greater than the distance between two abutment-feet, struck from the same centre as the cylinder 11 with which it makes contact. Spring-pressed packing-bars 18 are arranged in deep slots in the cylinder 11, and are slotted at their ends to receive collars which maintain them in their slots. Packing-strips are also provided for the abutments, shoes, and inner member 6. Two or more engines may be compounded in series.

Abstract: 3211. Ramondt, K. O. S., and Vellema, E. J. Feb. 9. Revolving doors.-Relates to doors with wings which collapse and fold parallel to each other when abnormal pressure is applied as in case of panic. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the wings 11 are hinged to the central spindle 8, and are held in the radial position by the engagement of yielding holding-devices on the wings with a rotary ring 4 which is mounted in the top of the door casing and is provided with antifriction rollers 5, 6. In the modification, shown in Fig. 3, the wings 11 are yieldingly held in frames 12 secured to, and rotating with, the spindle 8. In a further modification, the wings are yieldingly held on disks carried by the spindle 8. Portions of the casing 20, Fig. 12, are also hinged and held in position so that they fold back on excess of pressure; and means are provided for moving the wings, when collapsed, to the side of the door casing. The holding-means for the wings 11 and hinged portions of the casing 20 may consist of spring catches 13, 14, as shown in Fig. 5, or of a block 15, Fig. 6, pressed against the adjacent member by means of an inclined surface 16 on the block 15 and an incline 17 on a bar operated by a hand-wheel 18 ; or the wings may be held by the attraction exerted on armatures on the wings by electro-magnets mounted on the ring 4 or frames 12. The wings are held in the closed position shown in Fig. 12 by bolts 19, Fig. 20, on the outer pair of wings engaging. sockets 21 on the floor. Each bolt is formed with a helical thread 22 engaging a corresponding slot in the bolt casing 23 so that pressure on the inner pair of wings turns the arms 20 and releases the bolt.

Abstract: 4702. Bamford, J., and Bamford, C. Feb. 24. Potato - diggers.-In potato - diggers having tines or forks controlled by mechanism so as always to be in a hanging position, particularly such machines as are described in Specifications 26,634/08 and 5823/09, springs are used to prevent sudden shocks in the driving-gear or the disks or wheels which carry the' tines, and the digging-share is removably fixed to its supporting-arm and is provided with means for turning the soil towards the centre of the share, so as to allow of a wide share being used. The central pinion of the epicyclic controlling-gearing is furnished with a sleeve 8 on which is fixed a hook 11 connected by an adjustable spring 12 to a fixed bracket 13. This arrangement allows the pinion to turn slightly when the tines strike an unyielding substance. The spring may be applied to the lay shaft or to other parts of the controlling-mechanism. The digging-share 15 is provided with studs or tongues 17 to engage in slots 18 in a plate 19 which is riveted to the supporting-arm 16. The share is also secured to the plate by bolts. The plate 19 may be dispensed with, or tongues or studs on it may pass through holes or slots in the share 15. A curved block or plate 23 is fixed to the share 15 by a bolt 24, or the share may be shaped to turn the soil towards the centre. According to the Provisional Specification, there may be prongs on the block 23.

IPC: G04B45/04
Filed: 1910-06-23
Granted: 1911-09-25
Abstract: 15,128. Moritz, S. June 23. Clock movements.- Relates to a clock of the kind in which the actuating - mechanism for each hand is mounted in the tail of the hand, the movement of the hand being effected by the continuous displacement of its centre of gravity. According to the invention, auxiliary weights are dispensed with, the motion of each hand a being produced by the bodily rotation of the movement c around an eccentric arbor d fixed to the lower end of the hand. In addition to rotating uniformly, one of the hands may be adapted to make a sudden complete revolution over the dial at certain intervals. Fig. 4 shows mechanism for causing the minute-hand to rotate in this way every six minutes. A pinion p, which is held stationary relatively to the hand by a friction-spring q, gears with a wheel u on an arbor which also carries a wheel t with few teeth spaced at wide intervals. As each tooth of the wheel t escapes from the teeth of a pinion s with which it engages, it rotates sufficiently to cause a complete revolution of the movement round the pinion p.
