Abstract: 23,743. Hartley, T., and Hartley, W. T. D. Oct. 28. Coating surfaces with liquids &c.-A machine for coating small articles such as nuts, biscuits, &c. with chocolate &c. by dipping comprises guides a, along which the grids a<1> containing the articles are pushed into a dipping-frame by a slide a<3> operated through links a<4>, a<5> by a cam f on a shaft f The dipping-frame has guides b attached to rods b<1> sliding on brackets b<2>, which support a frame b5 provided with wire netting to hold the articles in place during the dipping, and are joined to a plate b<6> vertically reciprocated by links b<7>, b8. During the descent of the grid into the coating-material in the jacketed container g, the grid is pressed against the frame b<5> by springs b<3> on the rods b<1>, and during the ascent its motion is stopped by impact of the rods b<1> on fixed nuts b9, thus allowing the frame b<5> to be raised by the further rise of the plate b<6> so that the next grid may push the dipped one into a' shaking-frame. The shaking-frame comprises guides c pivoted by links c<3> to a frame c<2>, which is raised by impact with the ascending frame b<5> to allow the grid to enter from the dipping- frame. Bars d' connected to the shaking-frame are then placed on the rotary toothed wheels d by forked levers d' actuated by a lever a<5>. The shaking-frame slides on studs d<4>, the stroke being adjusted by screws d<5> and the'drop effected by springs d<6>. The grid is pushed from the shaking- frame into guides e, pivoted to a shaft e<1>, and having a handle e<2> by which they can be turned into the dotted position after a plate or paper has been fixed over the grid by a plate e<3>, which is turned with the guides e by a handle e'. The gridis then lifted, the guides e are returned to their former position, and the coated articles remain on the plate or paper to be taken away for cooling &c. The articles may be coated on one side only or all over except on top by having only as much coating- material in the receptacle g as will cover the grid in its lowest position. According to the Provisional Specification the plates from which the grids are fed into the dipping-frame may be hollow. and heated by water &c., and the coated articles when turned over by the guides e may be received on an intermittent travelling band leading into a cooling-cabinet.

Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 4413. Oulton, G., Ablett, C., and Lightfoot, W. E. Feb. 27. Brakes.- Relates to apparatus for producing constant linear velocity of the record disk of a gramophone under the stylus, of the type described in Specifications No. 11,915, A.D. 1903, [Abridgment Class Electric telegraphs &c.], and No. 24,078, A.D. 1907, where the speed of the turntable is regulated by the position of the soundbox carrier through a cam controlling the governor brake-lever. The present invention provides for the operation of the cam, which is pivoted on a centre independently of the centres of the brake lever and the sound-box carrier, directly by the motor through gearing, and for throwing the cam out of action so as to produce only a constant angular speed of the record. In Fig. 2, in which the mechanism is seen from underneath, the cam 13 is driven from the motor 5 by worm-gearing on the spindle 22 of the turntable, through a shaft 20 and worm-wheel 16, which is mounted so as to be disengaged on sliding out a rod 14 ; this sliding however leaves in the same position the cam 13, which is now rotatable by a graduated head 17, on to which a pointer attached to the casing projects so as to allow of any fixed angular velocity of the record, or serving to fix the initial angular velocity on reengaging the worm 16. Fig. 5 shows how the cam 13 pivoted at 31 may control the speed according to the position of the sound-box carrier through mechanism as described in Specification No. 24,078, A.D. 1907. The mechanism there shown connected with the sound-box carrier bears against the rod 27<a>, which, through the connecting- rod 28, actuates the cam which is in contact with one arm of the brake lever 11, 7. To throw this arm 13 out of action, the handle 30 is turned to bring any required part of the curve 32 into contact with the brake lever.

Granted: 1909-06-11
Abstract: 10,219. Hardingham, G. G. M., [Soc. des Moteurs SabathÚ]. May 11. Gas and explosive-vapour engines.-In engines in which the methods of working at constant pressure and constant volume are combined, the whole of the air for combustion is first compressed and the fuel subsequently injected in two phases, the first injection being towards the end of compression and the second during expansion. A fuel injector for carrying out the above method is shown in Fig. 1. Liquid fuel is delivered in measured quantities through a pipe 11 to chambers 13, 15 which communicate through a passage 16 but which are otherwise separated by a lift valve 7. This valve is raised from its seat by a projection 10 on a needle valve 4, and is provided with a port 36 for the passage of compressed air admitted through an orifice 14. In operation, the needle valve is first raised from its seat by the cam levers shown in Fig. 1, and the charge of fuel from the chamber 13 is injected by the action of the compressed air. The continued motion of the needle valve then raises the lift valve 7, and the remaining fuel is carried into the cylinder. The needle valve carries a piston guide 17, and its stroke is adjusted by suitably regulating the position of the rod 24 on the link 26. When sufficiently reduced the lift of the needle valve fails to open the valve 7.

Abstract: 2374. Couade, M. Feb. 25, 1908, [Convention date]. [Addition to 3927/07.] Commutator switching-arrangements. - Relates to servomotor transmitters of the type described in the parent Specification, in which direct current is converted into three-phase current by a commutator-switching arrangement, having the resistance between the commutator bars so proportioned to the lineresistance as to give a close approximation to a sinusoidal current. In the transmitter described in the parent Specification, the curve o, m, a, b, Fig. 2, shows the ratio that r, the resistance from the bar at which direct current enters to the bar at an angle a from it, bears to R, the total resistance of one phase line, for varying values of a. In the present invention, the resistance r is calculated according to the curve o, c, d, b, the part c, d of this curve being practically tangential to the part b, d of the curve at the point where a is about 60 degrees. The commutator may thus be formed of two solid sectors AB, CD, Fig. 4, of 120 degrees in extent, and of two divided sectors AC, BD provided with intercepted resistances. Symmetrical bars on opposite sides of the commutator are shown connected together.
