Granted: 1914-09-07
Abstract: 17,856. Parks, H. S. May 19, [Convention date]. Indicators actuated by pressure of head of liquid.-Relates to apparatus for indicating the depth of liquids and the draught and trim of ships, of the kind in which the depth is measured by the air pressure necessary to force the liquid out of an immersed chamber. The balance between the air and the liquid takes place at a point inside the chamber and not at an opening in its walls. Chambers placed at the bow and stern of a ship for measuring the draught are provided with adjacent indicators adapted by means of a sliding index-arm to indicate the dead weight or the mean draught of the ship. Air admitted to the chamber 3, Fig. 1, through a three-way cock 14 and pipe 5 forces out liquid through a tube 6, which is cut away at the lower part of its inner end, and is closed at the top part by a transverse semicircular plate. The cock may be of the kind described in Specification 17,835/14. By turning the cock, the air is cut off and the chamber is placed in communication through the pipe 5 with the mercury chamber 28, Fig. 6, of the indicator. The end 34 of the air-pipe connexion extends into the chamber so that mercury cannot enter the air pipe in any position of the indicator. The mean draught of a ship is indicated on a scale 66, Fig. 10, placed between indicators 16<a>, 16<f>, connected to air-chambers at the bow and stern of the ship. A sliding pivoted index-arm 74 is brought against a pointer 71 secured at the mercury level of one of the indicators and is turned about its pivot 73 until it crosses the mercury level of the other indicator. The airchambers may be adjustably mounted in a casing placed inside the ship and communicating with the water by a pipe through the ship's side.

Abstract: 23,514. Edington, C. April 17, 1914. Engine-controlling grears, signalling position of.-Relates to reversing-gear indicators for marine and like engines. An insulated conductor 17, Fig. 4, carried by the valve-gear reversing-shaft B, throws into circuit one or other of a pair of solenoids h, i, Fig. 2, in an indicating-instrument A, the plungers j, k of which are attached by flexible connexions to grooved pulleys c, d. The pulleys are mounted on the same pivot and carry pointers a, b for showing the direction, and have each three pins, of which one n engages a restoring blade-spring o, and the other two n<1>, n<2> limit the movement by striking the supporting-frame. When it is required to produce a vibration of a pointer at each revolution of the engine in order to afford means for reckoning the speed, the solenoid circuit is momentarily energized each time a bridge-piece 15 connected with the main pump levers unites contacts 8, 14. The " ahead " or " astern " pointer would thus be caused to vibrate on the corresponding side of the indicator.

IPC: B43L23/04
Filed: 1913-11-03
Granted: 1914-07-30
Abstract: 25,069. Myers, L. Nov. 3. Pencil-sharpeners.-In machines of the type in which a revolving milling-device is given a planetary motion round the pencil, the milling- device is adapted to cut the wood and the lead of the pencil simultaneously at different angles with respect to the axis of the pencil, the portion of the milling-surface that acts upon the lead being substantially conical in form and tapering towards the point of the pencil. Means are also provided whereby rotation of the operating - handle in a reverse direction to the normal or sharpening direction causes the pencil-clamping means to be moved away from the milling-device and to be automatically unclamped. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, two milling-cutters 11 acting on opposite sides of the pencil Pare revolved while rotating round the pencil by means of gearing 4, 5, 16. 17. Each milling-cutter 11 has a lower conical surface 13 acting upon the lead and a cylindrical surface 12 acting upon the wood. The pencilclamping means comprise two jaws 31, Fig. 4, actuated by means of a spring-controlled plate 27 sliding within an horizontal plate 21 mounted on a tubular post 22 which slides in a hollow standard 1. The post 22 is provided with an external toothed rack 23 engaging a loose pinion 19, which is actuated by a pawl carried on the bevel-wheel 5 when the handle 7 is rotated in a reverse direction, the pawl sliding over the pinion 19 when the handle is rotated in the normal direction. Inside the post 22 is a rod 24, Fig. 5, having at its lower end a projecting nut 26 and at its upper end a bevelled head 25 which engages the bevelled edges 27<1> of a slot in the plate 27. When the handle 7 is rotated in the reverse direction at the end of the sharpening operation, the post 22 and rod 24 are elevated through the action of the pawl 20 and pinion 19 until the nut 26 engages a shoulder 50 in the standard 1; further elevation of the post 22 causes the bevelled surfaces 25, 27<1> to engage, thus operating the plate 27 and releasing the clamping-jaws 31. The plate 27 is provided with a thumb-piece 28 by which the plate 27 may be actuated by hand. Specifications 28,466/02, 10,644/04, 18,466/07, and 23,232/09 are referred to.
