Title: Improvements in Weighing Apparatus.
Inventor: DENISON GEORGE HENRY
IPC: G01G1/26
Filed: 1912-09-11
Granted: 1913-08-21
Abstract: 20,675. Denison, G. H. Sept. 11. Weigh-bridges.-Relates to weighing-apparatus having two or more distinct weighing - systems capable of being coupled either separately or collectively to one common indicator such as a steelyard or dial, and consists in counterbalancing each weighing-system independently of the connexion between the indicator and the weighbridge levers, the counterbalancing-levers being fitted with a balancing mechanism consisting of a readily adjustable weight and index points. Means are also provided for adjusting the equilibrium of the indicator when the weighbridge levers have all been disconnected. The transfer levers A, B of the two weighbridges are coupled by a shackle C4 and draw-rod C3 to the steelyard C, and are further coupled by rods D1, E, to counterbalancing-levers D4, E which balance the dead weight of the weighing-systems. Handoperated cams G2, H2 are preferably used to tilt the levers D4, E for the purpose of raising the levers.A, B off the shackle C4, thereby rendering the corresponding weighing-systems inoperative. To balance the whole apparatus for weighing, the levers A, B, are first raised out of gear, and the steelyard together with the rod C3 and shackle C4 is balanced by means of its balance weight D. Each weighing-system is then balanced separately, after being freed from its operating-cam, by adjusting screw-traversed weights J, K until pointers J1, K1 register with fixed pointers J2, K2.

Abstract: 5131. Weissman, M. Feb. 28. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid) Eyeglasses.-Relates to pince-nez in which the lens mounts are pivoted to the ends of the bridge, the plaquets being moved apart by turning the lenses about the pivots. The lens mount 2 has a projection 4 carrying two projecting arms 5, 6; the plaquet 7 is attached to the arm 5, and the arm 6 serves as an abutment for one end of the controlling-spring 8 which is wound around the lower portion of a collet 11, Fig. 6, at the end of the bridge 9 with its end engaging in the groove 13. An eye in the arm 4 passes over the upper portion of the collet and is secured bv a screw 12. Rotation of the lenses about the pivots compresses the spring 8 and separates the plaquets. In a modification, the lenses are pivoted about horizontal axes. The free end of the spring 8 may bear'against the lens mount, the projection 6 being then dispensed with. The invention may be applied to either rimmed or rimless eyeglasses.

Abstract: 12,238. Garrecht, F. May 26. Pendants.-In an extensible electric-light fixture in which the leads are carried by lazytongs connected with an overhead support and the lamp fitting, a sliding member having guided movement is provided above, and pivotally connected to, the upper end of the lazy-tongs to prevent them from swaying. In one construction, Figs. 1 and 2, the lazy-tongs 13 are pivotally connected to plates 23, 29 respectively carried by a pipe 10 and nipple 27, and extending through slots in casings 11, 28. The lazy-tongs are attached by links 13<b> to the sliding tube 15<c>, which carries a shot-loaded cup 15 provided with chains 16 running over pulleys 17<a>, 18<a> on cross arms 17, 18. Access to the leads 14 at the bottom of the casing 11 may be obtained by uncoupling the pipe 10 from the member 21. The leads pass through the arms of the lazy-tongs, which are pivoted together at their middles and ends by eyelets 13<e>, 13<f>, and provided with sliding covers 19<a>, Fig. 6<a>. In a modification, Figs. 1<a> and 4<a>, the arms 10 of the fitting are connected by chains &c. 12, passing over guide-pulleys 13 on a frame 14, to a spring- drum 15. The drum nipple 16 is screwed internally and externally at both ends for engagement with different sizes of ceiling-pipes 17 and unions 23, is provided with a slot 16<a> to engage the inturned inner end of the spring 21, and is prevented from turning in the frame 14 by a key 14<a> and lock-nut 22. Tilting of the lazy-tongs laterally is prevented by lateral arms 26<a> through which the chains pass. The sliding sleeve 2.5 for preventing swaying may serve as a counterbalance. In another arrangement, the chains 12 may be attached to this sleeve, instead of to the arms 10, after passing beneath pulleys carried by arms depending from a shell which covers the frame 14.

Granted: 1914-10-22
Abstract: 5542. Creighton, E. E. F. March 19, 1913, [Convention date]. Vacuum tubes.-In a safety discharge gap, the discharge takes place in a partial vacuum at such pressure that the equivalent needle gap is a minimum when tested with high-frequency discharges of a potential greatly above the breakdown potential of the arrester. The discharge takes place from insulated electrodes such as 8, Fig. 2, to the earthed metal tube or casing 4. Insulating- caps 5 cover the ends of the tube. The electrodes 8 are spaced apart by a porcelain spacer 9, and porcelain supports 10 centre the electrodes in the tube. The vacuum is maintained by a soft wax or pitch seal 12 and a hard wax seal 13, a porcelain stopper 11 shielding the seals from heat. The gaseous medium is preferably a monatomic gas, such as argon, neon, or helium ; but hydrogen, air, or nitrogen may be used. Fig. 3 shows a device for short-circuiting the electrodes if the vacuum is lost, this being effected by the diaphragm 17 and rocking bridge-piece 15. The electrodes may be placed eccentrically in the tube to produce the effect of a horn gap, or an actual horn gap may be used, as shown in Fig. 8. In some cases, the space around the electrodes may be so proportioned as to produce an extinguishing-pressure if a severe discharge takes place. The electrodes may carry flexible metal coatings which melt as a result of a severe discharge, thus forming a conducting-bridge between the line electrodes and the ground electrode. To protect the seals, metal cylinders or other devices having large radiating.surfaces may be interposed between the electrodes and the seals to communicate the heat to the enclosing-tube.

The wheels are carried by cranked axles F, which are connected together at each side by a rod H adapted to be operated through levers and linkwork from the propelling handle M, so that the wheels may be housed within guards S fixed to the sides of the frame. The frame comprises side members A connected by transverse members B, B<1> and having their forward turned-in ends A' connected by a bar A<2>, while the rear ends of the members A are connected by a transverse member C, to which are fixed vertical bars C<1> stayed by a curved tie-bar D, which is grasped in the operations of folding and unfolding the parts. The axles F are mounted in the members A before the parts of the frame are assembled, and are held in position by collars G fixed to the axles and bearing against the inner sides of the members A. The side members of the handle M are pivoted at M', M<2> to the rear uprights of the frame, and are each connected by a rod L or L' to a curved lever I fulcrumed at J<1> to the members A and pivoted at J to the rod H, one of the fulcra J<1> being further forward than the other. A stop K upon the member A limits the movement of the lever I both in the travelling position, Fig. 1, and in the collapsed position, Fig. 3. The sides of the handle M are bent inwards at the pivotal points M', M<2>, as shown in Fig. 8, and the rods H are similarly bent at the pivots J. For locking the parts, both in the travelling and in the collapsed positions, the side members of the handle M are connected to the uprights C<1> by toggle links N, N<1> pivoted together at O<1>, each of the links N' being formed with a stop N<3> and a finger-ring N<4>.
