Granted: 1913-12-31
Abstract: 30,014. Smith, W. T. Dec. 31. Carding-engines.-A device for automatically supplying oil to the rubbing-leathers of condenser carding-engines comprises an oilreservoir from which the oil is led by a number of ducts to grooved troughs, each groove being provided with a hole through which the oil drips on to the rubbing-leather. The oil passes from the well B through ducts b which lead to grooved troughs C having perforations c<1> which distribute the oil over the width of the rubbing- leathers A. A rotary distributor D, driven from a shaft E', is provided with flanges d<2> which lead oil supplied to the centre of the distributor to a hole d<1>, which in turn passes over the top of each of the ducts b. Other holes d in the distributor act as air-holes to facilitate the flow of oil through the ducts. The oil may be delivered direct from the reservoir F to the centre of the rotary device, or may flow into a recess b<1> and be lifted from there by a rotary scoop G and be delivered down a shoot H. The oil may percolate direct through the ducts to the grooved troughs, or it may be fed by wicks either to the ducts or direct to the grooved troughs. The troughs may be pivoted to adjust their inclination and the flow of oil, and to stop the flow when the machine is stopped. The oil may be fed to the recess b<1> from the closed reservoir F, through a vertically adjustable pipe H', in order to adjust the level at which the oil is maintained in the recess.

Title: Improvements in Centrifugal Governors.
Inventor: CLARK CHARLES HASKELL
IPC: G05D13/10
Filed: 1913-02-08
Granted: 1914-02-09
Abstract: 3328. Clark, C. H. Feb. 8. Centrifugal governors; transmitting-mechansim; fluid relays.-A centrifugal governor with the weights 14 rotating about the axis of the shaft 12 and with their pivots or fulcra 17 lying in a plane at right-angles to the axis is so constructed that the radius of the circular path traversed by the centre of gravity of the weights when in their innermost position is approximately one and a half times the distance of the centre of gravity from the pivot of the weight. The arrangement is such that the centrifugal force varies approximately as the angular displacement of the weights from the plane of the pivots. The weights, which may be four in number, are in the form of quadrantal gears as shown and they are fulcrumed at 17 on knife-edges within the casing and guided by slots in the neck 15 of the casing. The casing is rotated by the shaft 12 driven by the engine to be governed. The weights gear with and are held in place by the valveoperating rod 21, the end of which is in the form of a rack 23 and, in swinging outwards under the action of centrifugal force, the rod 21 is moved to the right against the action of a compression spring 25 adjusted by the screw nut 22 according to the governing speed required. With a slight modification of construction, an extension spring may be used instead of a compression spring. The shaft 21 carries at its outer end a number of split rings 31, Figs. 1 and 4, fitting rotatably within circular grooves in the shaft and clamped to a correspondingly grooved non-rotating casing 27 by the block 30 and screw 33. The lower part of the casing is provided with lubricant 34. The casing is slidably connected to one end of a centrally-pivoted lever 35, Fig. 5, the other end of which is connected to the supply valve of the engine. The central pivot of the lever is arranged upon a fork 36 pivoted in a standard 37 screw-threaded within a rotatable socket 38 which is oppositely screw-threaded within the valve casing so that the pivot of the lever 35 can be adjusted at right - angles to the lever thereby determining the extent of movement of the governor weights, and consequently the speed at which the governor operates. The valve which is operated by the lever 35 comprises a cylindrical chamber 46 with inlet 47 and outlet 48 and a piston 51 with unequal heads 49, 50, and with passages 52, 53. The inlet pressure maintains the valve closed owing to the equalization of the pressures above and below the head 49 due to the passage 53. If, however, the stem 41 is withdrawn, due to a decrease in speed of the engine, the unbalanced upward pressure on the head 49 raises the piston, and thereby connecting together the inlet and outlet and supplying further working fluid to the engine. Specifications 3780/78 and 19,024/01 are referred to.

Patent GB-191311884-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Inkwells.
Inventor: SENGBUSCH GUSTAV JOHN
IPC: B43L25/02
Filed: 1913-05-21
Granted: 1914-01-01
Abstract: 11,884. Sengbusch, G. J. May 21. Inkstands.-The body is divided into an upper chamber-12, Fig. 1, and a lower chamber 13 by a flanged internally-grooved neck-piece 16 which rests on a seating 14 and is provided with small openings 18 communicating between the chambers, the inkstand further comprising a hollow float or plunger 19, guided in the neck-piece 16, and a cover 22 having a dip-opening 28 registering with the upper end of the neck-piece 16, but permitting an overflow from the neck-piece into the upper chamber 12. In the construction shown, the cover 22 carries a dip-head 27 having a depending flange 26, which engages over the neck-piece 16 and is provided with openings 29, Fig. 5. The action of the inkstand is as follows. When the plunger is depressed by inserting the pen, ink is forced up the grooves 21 of the neck piece on to the head of the plunger, very little ink finding its way through the relatively small openings 18 into the upper chamber 12. When the plunger is released, most of the ink above it is returned to the upper chamber 12 through the openings 29 in the flange 26, a small quantity flowing back through the grooves 21; subsequently, the levels of the ink in the chambers 12, 13 are equalized by a gradual flow through the small openings 18. The inner rim of the dip-head 27 extends inwardly beyond the grooves 21, thus preventing spurting of the ink. The plunger 19 is prevented from sticking to the bottom of the well by forming the plunger with a convex base and the bottom of the well with a central projection 30. The neck-piece 16 is preferably of glass, the flange part 17 being ground to obtain an accurate seating in the offset portion of the body of the inkstand. The invention is set out as an improvement on the inkstand described in Specification 7513/05.

Title: Improvements in Circulating Dyeing Machines.
Inventor: SIBSON WALTER WOODHOUSE
IPC: D06B5/00
Filed: 1913-09-09
Granted: 1914-07-16
Abstract: 20,399. Sibson, W. W., and Allsop, T. Sept. 9. Circulating fluids through materials. - A dyeing-machine comprises a vat containing a perforated compartmental cage in which the material to be dyed is placed, and a chamber containing screw propellers for circulating the dye liquor through the cage, automatic valves being provided to effect reversal of the direction of flow. The vat is provided with a perforated bottom 46, Fig. II, on which the cage 47 rests. The cage comprises solid side and end walls, vertical perforated partitions 50, and horizontal partitions 58, 51, 61. The partitions 58, 61 are hinged so that when the cage is withdrawn from the vat material can be inserted in each compartment. The cage is suspended from cross-bars 48. The circulating-means comprise intalie chambers 32, Figs. I and III, in which are propellers 34. The liquid is driven towards the centre of the propeller chamber and passes alternatively through interconnected valves 9, 14 to the vat and through the cage from bottom to top, or from top to bottom, as the case may be, and then returning to the intakes 32. The valves 9, 14 are periodically operated by cam 30, Fig. II, driven off a shaft 19. The shaft 19 is connected by an external chain 39, Fig. III, to the propeller shaft 35. By means of a hand-wheel 42 the cam device can be rendered inoperative, thereby preventing the automatic reversal of flow. A steam-pipe 71 may be employed to heat the dye liquor.

Title: A Contact-breaker for Magneto-electric Ignition Apparatus.
Filed: 1913-10-20
Granted: 1914-02-19
Abstract: 23,739. Unionwerk Mea Ges. Dec. 5, 1912, [Convention date]. Interrupters, mechanical. - In contactbreakers for magneto-electric ignition apparatus, of the kind in which one of the contacts c is fixed and the other d is carried by a spring- pressed rocking lever e which is operated, as the fixed and moving contacts rotate, by means of fixed cam-surfaces i, the rocking lever is operated in the opening direction by a spring g and the closing is effected by the stationary cam-surfaces through a movable intermediate piece in the form of a roller k, which first neutralizes the action of the opening spring g and then allows a second spring h to rock the lever for closing the contacts. In the form shown, the spring y, fixed at one end to the rotating disk a, operates beneath a nose f upon the end of the lever and is so strained as to tend to maintain the contact-breaker open. A second spring h operates beneath the spring g upon the nose f and is fixed to the end of the lever e and so strained as to tend to expand. The spring h, however, is inoperative until the intermediate member k begins to neutralize the action of the spring g and compress the free end of the spring h, which then becomes operative to close the contacts. The spring h may be secured to the disk a instead of to the lever c and be so arranged as to act directly in a closing direction on the circuit - breaker. In this case, the spring g is stronger than the spring h.

Granted: 1915-09-13
Abstract: 14,222. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Buckham, G. T. June 12. Sights and methods of sighting.-Relates to means for correcting the error which occurs in the angle of tangent elevation of the gun, when the trunnions of a gun carriage are not level. According to the invention, the error is corrected by directly adjusting the angle of tangent elevation or by varying the reading. of the angle-indicating device, the amount of the correction being automatically controlled by the inclination of the trunnions and the range of the object. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the levelling of the sight D about the longitudinal pivot c to correct for inclinations of the trunnion axis A causes a projection d on the sight to be shifted along a cam B, which receives a rotary setting by the link D' when the gun is elevated. The shape of the cam is so designed that the rocking of the sight D about its pivot d<1> thus produced corrects the error in the angle of tangent elevation. In a modification, the adjustment of a cross-level is transmitted to the pointer of a range dial, so that by re-adjusting the range dial, the angle of tangent elevation indicated thereby may be corrected.
