Granted: 1914-02-23
Abstract: 26,781. Derrimann, W. H., [Automatic Enunciator Co.]. Nov. 21. Sound-boxes; microphonic sound-boxes; stylus mountings.-Relates to a microphone sound-box for reproducing and transmitting sounds, in which all parts of the microphone and also the stylusholder and main support are insulated from extraneous vibrations, and in which the sounds are transmitted pneumatically from the reproducing to the microphone diaphragm. T h e Figures show a double differential microphone, though a single one may be used. The microphone diaphragms 16 which are surrounded by granular material 17 are secured between disks 18, and the reproducing- diaphragms 12, 13 between rubber gaskets 14 and the disks 8, 9, felt or like insulating disks 15 being interposed as shown. Bolts 19, surrounded by felt packing 20, bind the parts of the sound-box together. The stylus-holder 21 has its cross-bar 23 pivoted on trunnions 24, screws 27 and rubber washers 28 with or without metal washers 29 serving to hold it in place. The screws 27 pass through side wings on the cross-bar and are locked by nuts 30. The sound-box 9 is supported on a pivot 7 by an arm 5, the pivot 7 being so arranged that only 4¢ ozs. of the total weight of the sound-box is carried by the stylus 22 on the record 23<a>. A knuckle joint 10, which permits the sound-box to be turned .into the position shown in dotted lines, is in two parts 31, 32 connected by pivot pins 34 having lock nuts 35, the part 31 being recessed to allow the part 33 integral with the part 32 to fit into it. A layer of rubber 36 between the parts 6, 31, and rubber tubes 39 and washers 38 round the connecting- screws 37, insulate the sound-box 9 from the supporting-arm 5. The circuit wires are connected through the insulated bolt 41 to the plate 18 and through another insulated bolt (not shown) to the diaphragm 16.

Abstract: 26,824. Lawson, Sir A. T., and Shaw, G. Nov. 22. Spindle apparatus; stop apparatus, non- automatic. - In a machine for spinning flax, hemp, jute, &c., a driven ring of sufficient diameter to allow a cop to pass through is provided and a presser flyer in which the tension of the yarn serves to increase the pressure of the presser arm is carried in a bearing a of the ring. The flyer preferably comprises a pin d having an eccentric eye e and a cranked presser leg d<2> attached to the pin d. In the arrangement shown, the centrifugal member of the presser tends to press the eye d<3> against the cop, and the pull of the thread through the eye e increases this pressure by an amount which increases with the diameter of the cop. The presser may be spring-controlled. The ring is mounted in ball bearings and is provided with a counterweight a<1> or " dummy " flyer leg to balance the flyer &c. To stop the ring for piecing &c., a brake block is carried by a spring lever G and operated by a cam K and handle k.

Granted: 1914-01-01
Abstract: 15,205. Turner, W. V. Dec. 28, 1912, [Convention date]. Fluid-pressure.-The triple valves are modified to ensure that the application and release of the brakes cannot be performed until a predetermined decrease or increase respectively in the train-pipe pressure has been made. The triple valve is shown in the release position. It is provided with, in addition to the usual parts, a spring-pressed valve 7 and a check valve 14 between the train-pipe passage 8 and ports 12, 13 respectively, leading to the piston chamber 2, and the graduating-stop 19 is controlled by a spring 24 having an initial compression, and slides in a sleeve 20 controlled by a spring 25 and formed with a projection 22 slotted to receive a pin 23 passing through the stem 19. When train-pipe pressure is reduced, the brakes are not applied until the reduction is sufficient to cause the piston 3 to move far enough against the pressure of the spring 24 to connect a port 26 at the rear of the graduating-stop with the exhaust port 32 by means of the cavity 31, whereupon the sleeve 20 and stop 19 are moved to the right so as to allow the triple valve to move to the application position. In this position, a port 10 at the underside of the valve 7 is connected by ports 16, 18 to the auxiliary reservoir and the valve 7 is thereby moved upwards to close communication between the ports 8, 12, so that, when train-pipe pressure is increased again, the valve 7 is not opened to allow the pressure to pass to the triple valve by the port 12 for releasing the brakes, until the increase in train-pipe pressure is sufficient to overcome the spring and auxiliary - reservoir pressure acting on the valve 7.

Abstract: 18,422. Billiton Maatschappij. Sept. 16, 1912, [Convention date]. Matte processes for tin. - Tin ores and slags are smelted with sulphides such as iron pyrites to produce a tin-iron matte and a slag poor in tin. The slag is then smelted with pyrites to produce further matte and slag portions, and each succeeding slag is smelted until practically the whole of the tin is in matte form. The matte is granulated, sintered with sodium sulphate and carbon, and lixiviated, and sodium sulphostannate solution is separated by filtration from a residue of iron sulphide &c. The solution is treated with sulphur dioxide, and the precipitated tin sulphide is roasted and reduced. The sodium sulphite in solution is partly oxidized to sodium sulphate, and may be used again in the process.

Abstract: 149. Fanta, F. Jan. 3. Preserving liquids. - Carbonated liquid in bottles is freed from air dissolved in the liquid by repeatedly admitting carbon dioxide to the bottom of the vessel and snifting the gas from the surface. In carrying out the process in connexion with bottling - apparatus of the kind described in Specification 148/14, [Class 125(ii), Bottles &c., Filling &c.], a bottle is inserted beneath a rubber sleeve t below a sealing device r<1>. A vacuum is formed in the bottle and a sliding filling tube g is drawn down. The tube g is clamped in its lowest position by balls m in a cone k fitting into a conical casing n. The tube is released by depressing the cone k by a ring p<3> on a shaft p<1> acting on a part p attached to the cone. The bottle is filled with aerated liquid admitted through a plug cock e. Carbon dioxide is passed through a needle valve f<1> down the tube g and through the liquid. The gas on the surface of the liquid is snifted through passages q<2>, c'. The tube g is released by movement of the shaft p<1>. Gas under pressure is again admitted to the bottle and causes the tube to rise out of the bottle. The sealing device is arranged to be brought into operative position before disturbing the seal between the bottle and the sleeve t.

Abstract: 11,759. Walsh, W. A., and Howard & Bullough. Aug. 14. Interconnecting protector with starting-gear.- Relates to devices for locking the beater cover and inspection door or window of cotton and like opening machinery while the machine is in motion, and for preventing the starting of the machine unless the cover and door are completely closed. On an axially slidable member H are arms F, G. The arm F is provided with a pin K and lug M, which, in the position shown, with the machine in motion, respectively engage a hole L in the beater cover A and the inspection door B, and thus lock the cover and door. When the slide H is removed to withdraw the pin K and lug M from the locking position, s pin in the arm G engages one of a series of holes D in the driving-pulley C, thus preventing the machine from being started. To prevent the pin from being disengaged from the pulley C and the machine, started while the cover A or door B are open, the surface 0 of a lug N on the arm F and the surface P on the lug M respectively engage the edges of the cover A and door B during the whole time they are open.
