Title: Improvements in and relating to Electrically Driven Ring Spinning Machines.
IPC: D01H1/24
Filed: 1910-08-30
Granted: 1911-08-30
Abstract: 20,249. Eborall, A. C., and Brown. Boveri, & Co. Aug. 30. Spinning machines; thread - guides; driving- arrangements. - The thread-guides of electrically-driven ring-spinning machines are automatically operated to control the length of the balloon, so that the increased speed that is obtained during the building of the main body of the cop in the arrangements described in Specifications 19,626/06, 7612/08, and 22,349/08 can be maintained during the building of the end of the cop, or during the whole spinning period. The thread - guides are actuated from pulleyblocks mounted on a shaft s, which is connected by a band 12 with a pulley fixed on a shaft v. The building-motion chain oscillates a block u loose on the shaft v, which is adjusted by means of a ratchet-wheel x so that fixed stops on the shaft may be engaged by the block u and thus the thread - guides operated after any determined period. The ratchet-wheel x is engaged by a pawl on the framework, and when so engaged allows only the progressive motion of the ring rail to be transmitted, but when disengaged, allows both the progressive and the reciprocating motion to be transmitted to the thread-guides. The mechanism for varying the speed of the driving-motor is similar to that described in Specification 22,349/08, and comprises two cams f, g, operated from the building - motion cam and the ratchet - wheel shaft respectively, and actuating-levers i, h connected with a band which moves the brush lever of the motor.

Title: Improvements in Devices for Indicating and Computing the Value of Meter Index Movements.
Inventor: COX GEORGE JAMES
IPC: G01F15/07
Filed: 1910-09-26
Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 22,227. Cox, G. J. Oct. 4, 1909, [Convention date]. Counters actuated by revolving mechanism; counters giving monetary indications. -Relates to a portable indicating-device actuated by hand, having a series of dials and pointers for imitating meter-index readings and an adjustable pointer giving the consumption indications for a known time. The device is provided with a cash dial to give the cash values corresponding to the dial indications and a card is provided on which to record the various observations obtained by the device. An adjustable or differentiating pointer 12, frictionally mounted on one of the spindles, is employed to indicate the amount and value of the gas that has been consumed during a given period. The readings of the meter at the beginning of the period are set on the dials of the indicating- device, and the pointer 12 is set to the zero on the large dial. When the disk 1 is rotated to bring the readings on the dials up to the present indications of the meter, the adjustable pointer will have moved to the indications giving the required result. An interchangeable value scale depending on the gas rate surrounds the large dial. These observations are marked on a card as shown in Fig. 6, and then forwarded to the gas company for inspection. If the indications on the dials exceed the capacity of the device, a pin 15 on the highest wheel rocks a bell-crank lever 18 to cause one of its arms 17 to pierce a travelling strip of paper.

Title: A Process for Purifying Hydrocarbons.
IPC: C10G27/04
Filed: 1910-05-12
Granted: 1911-10-05
Abstract: 23,467. Richter & Richter. May 12, [Convention date]. Purifying essential, mineral, and tar oils.- Hydrocarbons, such as petroleum, benzol, and terpenes, are purified by mixing them with finely divided carbon having catalytic properties, and bringing the mixture into intimate contact with oxygen, ozone, or gases containing oxygen. Impurities, especially those due to the presence of sulphur and nitrogen, are oxidized and carried away in the form of gases. Suitable forms of carbon are bone-black, bloodcarbon, charcoal, or an artificial carbon obtained by the dry distillation of carbonaceous matter, such as brown coal, with clay or materials containing clay and lime, for example ashes derived from brown coal. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the use of a carbon prepared in accordance with Specification 17,914/09, [Class 55(ii), Gas manufacture &c.]. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1912-07-25
Abstract: 18,763. Murray, T. E. Oct. 25, 1910, [Convention date]. Testing meters.-A meter - testing switch is arranged to connect testing-apparatus in circuit with the meter without opening the main circuit. A number of plug contacts F, G, H, I, J, Fig. 1, are mounted on an insulating- support 7, and spring contacts A, B, C, D, E normally engaging with each other to close the circuit from the mains to the local circuits K, Fig. 4, are mounted on an insulating-base. When the plugs have been inserted sufficiently to separate the spring contacts, the meter connexions are cut out, but the circuit to the local supply is maintained. When the plugs are inserted farther, a testing volt-meter V is connected in parallel with the meter pressure coil c, and an ammeter A<1> with an artificial load X is connected in series with the series coils c, d of the meter. This is effected by arranging the plugs F, H, wholly of conducting- material, and the plugs G, I each with two plates 12, 13 one shorter than the other and separated by insulating-material, while the other plug J has two plates 10, 11 of equal length separated by insulating-material.

Title: Adjustable Signalling Device for Gas Pipes and Conduits.
Inventor: MEYER FELIX
IPC: F17D5/00
Filed: 1911-11-04
Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 24,568. Meyer, F. Oct. 3, [Convention date]. Atmospheric gas burners ; gas supply.-The adjustability of the device described in Specification 24,567/11, for producing an audible signal is, according to the present invention, effected by dividing the flow of the gas so that only a predetermined quantity passes through the device while the remaining quantity, which may be varied, passes around it. Thus, if the signalling-device is constructed to sound when 40 litres pass through it, the variable quantity of gas necessary to obtain the best lighting effects traverses a by-pass. In the reed device a, Fig. 1, the quantity of gas traversing the by-pass e and the serrations h is regulated by a set-screw d. In the whistle device b, Fig. 3, the size of the channel e formed between the halves of the whistle b communicating with the by-pass n is varied by screwing the parts f, m, further apart or closer together.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Lubricating Systems for Hot Air Engines.
IPC: F16N7/12
Filed: 1912-06-07
Granted: 1913-03-27
Abstract: 13,429. Model Engineering Co., and Wight, R. M. June 7. Force-feed lubricating.-To lubricate the internal and external working surfaces of the piston of a hot-air engine, oil is sucked through the snifting-valve by the partial vacuum in the cylinder. Air reaches the snifting-valve c, Fig. 1, through a pipe d<1> dipping into a vessel d formed with an opening d<2>. Oil from a cup e<1> is periodically delivered to the vessel d by a siphon e, and, when the oil-level reaches the bottom of the pipe d<1>, some oil is sucked into the cylinder a with the air. The piston b has inner and outer working surfaces provided with lubricating-grooves b<1>; the inner surface has also vertical grooves. The circular grooves in the two surfaces are connected by a radial opening. Oil is fed to the cup e' by twisted capillary wires g<2>, Fig. 7, in a pipe g, which enters a vessel f a short-distance above the bottom. A removable inverted oil-reservoir h is inserted in a socket f<1> in the vessel f. The reservoir has a reduced neck covered by a cap h<4> which closes a lateral opening in the neck. A pin h<2> on the neck moves in slots h<5>, h<6>in the cap. When the reservoir is placed in position, a lug h<8> on the cap engages a vertical slot f<2> in the socket f<1>. The reservoir h is then turned so that the pin h<2> moves along the slot h<6> in the cap and a slot f<3> in the socket; this brings the lateral opening in the neck of the reservoir into register with an opening h<7> in the cap, and the oil enters the vessel f. A partition i prevents oil from splashing into the mouth of the tube g.. An annular cover j prevents oil from creeping over the edges of the vessel f.
