Title: Improvements in or relating to Circular Saw Machines for Cutting Steel Girders or the like.
Inventor: NIELSEN HERMAN
IPC: B23D45/00
Filed: 1910-06-01
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 13,303. Nielsen, H. June 1. [Addition to 438/08.] Circular-saw machines.-In the circular sawmachine for cutting steel girders described in the parent Specification, means are provided for obtaining a slow advancing movement of the saw during cutting, and a quick movement back to the initial cutting position, and for stopping the advancing movement when excessive resistance is encountered. The saw 12 is mounted loosely on a gudgeon 9, carried by a rotating toothed disk iO, and is secured to a toothed wheel meshing with a toothed wheel 7 on a shaft 3, which is driven through worm gearing 4, 5 by a driving - shaft 19 carrying a belt pulley 20. The worm 5 is mounted on the shaft 19 in a notch in the machine frame sufficiently wide to allow the shaft 19 to be displaced slightly in a longitudinal direction. The shaft 19 always tends to move to the right in Fig. 3 under the influence of a spring 23, and when in its extreme right position, a friction disk 25 carried by it engages a friction disk 26 on a shaft 27 at right-angles to the shaft 19. The toothed disk 10 is freely mounted on the shaft 3, and is rotated so as to cause the saw to cut through the work by a pinion 14 on a sleeve 28, fitting over the end of the shaft 27 and connected to it by a spring 29. When the saw is rotating without meeting any resistance, the shaft 19 is in its extreme right position and rotates the shaft 27 quickly through the friction gearing 25, 26. When the saw is cutting, the resistance causes the worm 5 and shaft 19 to move to the left against the resistance of the spring 23 and to disengage the friction gearing 25, 26, the shaft 27 being then slowly rotated by means of a chain 33 passing over a chain-wheel on the shaft 3, a jockey pulley for tensioning purposes, and a smooth wheel 32 carrying a pawl 31 engaging a ratchetwheel 30 fixed to the friction wheel 26. When excessive resistance is encountered the chain 33 slides on the smooth periphery of the wheel 32.

Title: Improvements in Cross-spooling machines for Yarns and Threads.
Inventor: SCHWEITER JEAN
IPC: B65H54/42
Filed: 1910-07-01
Granted: 1911-02-16
Abstract: 15,833. Schweiter, J. July 1. [Addition to 147/10.] Stop-motions; winding-machines. - In the cross-spooling machine described in the parent Specification, the intermediate roller, which drives the spool and the thread-guide traversing- device, is lifted from the driving-roller to stop the machine when the thread breaks, and, if desired, when the tension becomes excessive, by a lever controlled by a spring-actuated feeler. A lever x, Fig. 1, is arranged so that one weighted arm comes under one of the journals of the intermediate roller e, while the other arm is provided with an abutment y, which is engaged by an abutment z' on a spindle z mounted in the frame. This spindle carries a feeler f, to which is attached a spring threadguide f<1>, and is controlled by a spring n<2>, of which one end is attached to an adjustable collar on the spindle and the other end rests against a fixed bar a<1>, an arm b<1> fixed to the spindle z engaging under the spring. If the tension becomes excessive, the thread-guide is drawn into engagement with an abutment m<1> and pulls the feeler f over to the left, causing the abutment z' to depress the lever x and lift the intermediate roller c. When the tension gradually relaxes, the spring n<2> slowly erects the feeler, the arm b<1> preventing the spring n<2> from rocking the feeler over too far. If, however, the thread should break, the spring n<2>, suddenly released, throws the feeler f over to the right, and the abutment z<1> depresses the lever x. When the spool reaches the required size, a roller c' carried by an extension of the spool carrier arm p enters an inclined notch g<1> in a pivoted spring-controlled arm d' and lifts the spool off the intermediate roller. The springy thread guide f', Fig. 5, may be carried by a sleeve loose on the spindle z, and arranged to move within a gap in a bar z<3>. The feeler f is then mounted on the spindle, and a projection b<2> on the spindle is arranged so that, when the thread breaks, the threadguide flies back and strikes the projection b<2> overbalancing the feeler, and thus rocking the spindle z with its abutment and depressing the lever x. In a slightly different arrangement, the thread-guide may be formed of wire, and its forward movement limited by an arm on the sleeve abutting against the main frame. The spring thread-guide f<1>, Fig. 11, may be fixed to an arm f<2> mounted on a sleeve rotatable upon the spindle z, controlled by a spring n<3> and arm b<3>, and provided with an abutment z<5>, which, when the thread-guide is rocked by excessive tension, coacts with the lever x and depresses it. When the thread breaks, the thread-guide flies over, and, striking an arm b<4>, rocks a separate feeler f, which is provided with an abutment z<1> also coacting with the lever x, and the movement of which in one direction is limited by an abutment z<4>.

IPC: H01M6/04
Filed: 1910-08-15
Abstract: 19,161. Soc. des Etablissements Sage, Bine, et Cie. April 25, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Electrolytes of primary cells, especially twofluid cells, contain salts of radio-active elements such as radium, polomium, actinium, thorium, and uranium, or of metals such as cobalt, nickel, and thallium. These substances are stated to have radio-magnetic activity and to impart long life, and constant current and electromotive force to a battery. Small amounts of bromides, iodides, nitrates, sulphates, chlorides, &c. of elements such as those mentioned above, or the metals or their oxides, singly or mixed, are dissolved in one or more acids, preferably a diluted mixture of sulphuric and nitric acids. Other materials may be added, for instance organic or inorganic acids such as acetic, oxalic, chloric, and chromic, or compounds to prevent the evolution of gas, such as zinc or cadmium oxide or compounds, ferrous sulphate, soda or potash, or their compounds, or alkaline ammonium compounds. Radio-active substances may be dissolved in ammonium sulphate and nitrate solutions instead of the free acids. The added materials may supply oxygen, like sugar, glucose, or hydrogen peroxide. Preferably potassium permanganate is added to dilute sulphuric acid, followed by an excess of oxalic acid, and by nitric acid and radio-active substances. In a two-fluid cell, the above electrolyte almost covers the negative, the positive (zinc) being in sulphuric acid or caustic soda in a porous pot. In a simple cell, the acid may be sulphuric if the positive element is zinc, nitric and hydrochloric if it is aluminium, and nitric and sulphuric if it is iron. Absorbents.-In a dry cell, the liquid may be thickened with gelatine or agar-agar, or absorbed by " dimanthus."

Title: Safety Moto-propelling Device with Change of Speed for Aeroplanes.
Inventor: BALDO VIGILIO
IPC: B64D27/00
Filed: 1911-01-07
Granted: 1912-01-08
Abstract: 466. Baldo, V. Jan. 7. Aerial machines without aerostats; propelling. -In an aeroplane of the kind having separate motors to drive the front and rear propellers so that the flight can be maintained by the use either of both motors or of one or the other motor alone, devices are provided for varying the rate of rotation of the propellers, and for varying simultaneously the angle of incidence of the supporting-planes so that a normal speed of the aeroplane can be obtained when one motor is used, and a maximum or a minimum speed, according to the angle of incidence of the planes, when both motors are used. In the case of the two-speed flight only, normal and maximum or normal and minimum, the devices for controlling the incidence may be dispensed with by so arranging the position of the thrust of the propellers in relation to the centre of gravity of the machine that, in passing from the use of one motor to the use of both motors, the additional thrust automatically decreases or increases the incidence to the required extent. The rate at which the propellers rotate can be varied either (1) by controlling the speeds of the motors by varying the admission of explosive mixture into the cylinders or by varying the time of ignition, or (2) by the use of variablespeed gearing between the motors and the propellers. Several forms of such gearing are described in the Specification. Tanks, atrangement of; regulating altitude automatically. The fuel may be carried in a large main tank R2 and a small reserve tank R1, each supplying to both motors through a pipe t. The cocks r1, r2, by which the tanks R1, R2 respectively communicate with the pipe t, are connected by link-work to an operating-lever B movable to two positions. In the position 1, the cock r2 only is opened. In the position 2, the cock r1 is opened, the cock r2 is closed, and a discharge cock r3 from the tank R2 is opened. The larger tank may be placed rearwards of the centre of gravity of the apparatus, so that, as the weight of the machine decreases owing to the consumption of fuel from the tank R2, the incidence of the main planes is correspondingly decreased to prevent the machine from rising. Steering and balancing.-The operation of the usual elevating-plane and the warping of the main planes are effected by the same lever. In addition, a second elevating-plane is provided which is adjustable to three positions corresponding to the incidences required for the normal speed, with one motor, and to the maximum and minimum speeds, with both motors.

Abstract: 11,576. Donat, O. May 15. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Couplings, automatic of the kind in which a link or the like on one vehicle engages the tail of a pivoted hook on the other vehicle and rotates the hook into locked coupling position. Upon each vehicle, a rod 8 carrying a coupling-eye is disposed between two hooks 4, 5, the rod being adapted to slide against the action of a spring 25 in a tube 9 which is pivoted to the draw-bar 2 so as to allow a lateral swing. The hooks are pivoted on a transverse rod beneath a coupling - funnel 1, and are weighted so that the point of each hook is normally depressed. When two vehicles come together, each rod 8 slides along one of the side walls of the opposite funnels and pushes back the tail of the adjacent hook. A pivoted plate 13 is thereby lifted until the tail of the hook engages behind its rear edge, whereupon the plate falls and locks the coupling The plate is lifted'for uncoupling by operating a cross-shaft 16, mounted in lugs of the plate, from a, hand-lever 18 at the side of the vehicle. In order to effect coupling with the usual side buffers in compression, a bar 11, pivoted on the pivot pin 10 of the tube 9 and moving laterally with the tube, is formed with an eye adapted to engage a tooth 23 on the rod 8 moving in a slot 24 in the tube.
