Abstract: 23,321. Olso-Licht Ges. Halbmayr & Co. Nov. 18, 1910, [Convention date]. Atmospheric gas burners; gas supply.-In a burner in which the gas supply or the internal air supply is fed under pressure by means of mercury or other vapour from a vaporizer in proximity to the burner, an auxiliary burner d for starting vaporization is connected to apparatus, such as a thermostatic valve c, which automatically extinguishes it when the main burner is generating sufficient heat. In one construction, the vaporizing - chamber l surrounds the burner tube of an inverted incandescent burner. The mercury vapour from the chamber l passes through a pipe m to the nipple g and draws in air through holes p and gas through a pipe f, the gaseous mixture passing through an annular chamber h to the burner pipe i while the mercury vapour condenses and passes through a pipe n back to the vessel l. The valve c may consist of a thermostatic rod extending near the main burner and acting upon a diaphragm which is pressed against the end of the gassupply pipe b.

Abstract: 426. Lovell, E. C. Jan. 5. Labelling. -In devices in which a pile of labels is pressed upon a gummed surface of the article to be labelled, and in which the lowermost label of the pile is caused to curve or belly outwards by the action of a curved labelfollower, this is caused to act with constant pressure on the labels irrespective of the number in the pile. The rod e' of the weighted follower e is supported by a pivoted wedge f on a vertically reciprocating arm e<3> until it comes near the bottom of its stroke, whereupon the wedge f is rocked by an arm f<1> striking a fixed stop g and releases the rod e<1> and so causes the weight of the follower e to bear upon the label pile. The arm e<3> may be carried by a rod of the packing-machine of which the travelling package-receptacle b forms a part, or it may be carried by the gumming-device. Arms c' on the pileholder d are guided on posts c, and the holder d is raised against the action of springs c<3> by a link d', a lever d<2>, and a rod d<4>.

Seamless hose &c. is made automatically of mock rib fabric with the heel and toe of plain or ordinary fabric. The cylinder is set out with single-butted needles a and doublebutted needles b, c arranged alternately. The double - butted needles have short and long knitting-butts e, e<1> respectively; similarly the needles a have short and long butts a<2>, a<1>. Needles with short butts a<2>, e are placed in the front half, needles with long butts e<1>, a<1> in the back or instep half of the cylinder. The needles are all operated by ordinary cams f, f<1> and take thread from the feeder g while the needles b, c are also operated by a fixed cam i to take thread from a second feeder h and so form mock rib stitches when depressed by a cam k. During reciprocation, the carn k is placed out of action so that the formation of mock rib ceases, and a needle-raising cam l is placed in action to raise the short-butted needles a a little earlier than the ordinary cam would raise them. The cam k is mounted on a spring- pressed horizontally sliding bolt n held in place by a catch r. A vertically-moving patterncontrolled slide u operates directly upon the bolt n when the cam k is to act on the short butts e as shown in full lines, and operates the catch when the cam k is to be withdrawn to the dotted-line position. As shown, the cam k is always in a position to operate the long butts e<1>.

Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 21,813. Soc. E. Gabreau et P. Delaux. Feb. 9, [Convention date]. Electro-magnetic interrupters or make-andbreak devices for use as vibratory regulators in electric circuits are constructed with polarized armatures g, Figs. 1 and 2, mounted upon elastic strips, plates, or diaphragms i, which are clamped at both ends or at their peripheries in order to damp out free and accidental vibrations, the armatures being situated in air gaps in a nearly closed magnetic circuit formed by a permanent magnet a, and the core b of an electro-magnet excited by one or more windings connected in the circuits to be regulated. In the device shown in Fig. 1, the polarized armature g is mounted on a strip i clamped at both ends l, and makes and breaks contact with a contact-screw h to cut-in and cut-out a resistance m in the field circuit of a dynamo e employed to charge a battery f. According to Fig. 2, the device is shown combined with an electro-magnetic cut-out for breaking the main circuit of the dynamo when the current reverses. The vibratory armature g is mounted on an elastic diaphragm i clamped round the edge to a dished support l. The companion contact h protrudes into the casing thus formed, and the contacts are surrounded by oil or other insulating-liquid to prevent sparking. A potential winding o actuates the armature g. An additional armature r mounted on a spring p is attracted and closes the main circuit, which contains a current-winding n acting to keep the main circuit closed through the core of the electro-magnet until the current reverses or falls to the charging-limit.

Abstract: 1669. Augustin, W. April 16, 1912, [Convention date]. Multiplying and dividing apparatus of the pin-wheel and cam - disk type are provided with setting slides or racks which actuate the camdisks so as to give the usual rotary setting movement to project the required number of pins corresponding to the multiplicand; these slides are manually operated either directly or through levers A, the setting being determined by the numeralscale carried by the slides. Interlocking - mechanism between the setting and operating parts is provided. The toothed slides or racks B set the cam-disks of the pin-wheels and cam-disk mechanism S by means of projecting pins C, the setting being indicated by the scales B<1>. The slides are carried by a bail B<4> attached to a controlling-lever E, E<1> pivoted at B<3>. When the lever is in the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, in which position it is held by the catch F, the slides engage with the pins C, and are in a position to effect a setting of the multiplicand. When the catch F is released, the lever E, E<1> rocks under the action of its spring B<2>, and carries the slides out of gear with the pins C, and locks them in engagement with a fixed bail B<6> which co-operates with teeth B<5> on the slides. The setting-slides are reset by a bail carried by a manually-operated lever. Interlocking.-When the setting-slides are m operative position the operating - handle T, Fig. 8, is locked by a spring-controlled pin P<4>; while, when the handle T is being turned, the setting-slides cannot be engaged with the pins C, as a notch V<3>, Fig. 5, in one of the pin-wheels S will only allow the nose of the lever V to enter in the normal position of the operating-handle.

Abstract: 14,007. Palmer. J. L. Juue 17. India-rubber, extracting from shrubs &c.- Relates to apparatus for removing the non-laticiferous portions of the bark of Landolphia vines and other kinds of rubber-bearing plants, of the type in which the bark is treated between a positively-driven member such as a roll, and a pressure member such as another roll, normally driven by the former member through the medium of the bark, and consists in positively driving the pressure member, preferably by free-wheel mechanism, when there is a predetermined slip between the two members. In the machine shown, the outer portions of the bark are first ground away without materially pressing it by a pair of fluted or toothed rolls 2, 3, Fig. 2, and then the remaining portions are pressed without grinding and simultaneously subjected to a shearing stress, by passing between two lower pairs of rolls 4, 5 and 6, 7. The rolls 2, 3 are geared together by wheels 15, 16 so as to revolve at different speeds, and the roll 2 is driven by wheels 12, 13, 14 from the roll 4, which is driven by wheels 9, 10, 11 from the driving-shaft carrying the belt pulley 8. The roll 6 is driven through the wheels 11, 40, and the rolls 5, 7 are geared by wheels 41, 42 to the rolls 4, 6, respectively, and driven through free-wheel mechanism comprising a pawl 44, Fig. 3, and spring 45 on the pinion 42 and a toothed collar 49 on the shafts 43 of the rolls 5, 7. In a modification, the pinion 42 contains an eccentric chamber with a loose roller. Adjustable springs 17 bear against the bearing- blocks 20 of the rolls. The bark is fed from a hopper 30, and short hoppers between the pairs of rolls guide the material to the rolls below. The treated material passes by a hopper 23 into a rotating cylindrical screen 24, which separates the waste or non-laticiferous portions of the bark, the screen being mounted on an inclined shaft 25 and driven by belt gearing 27.
