Granted: 1913-08-21
Abstract: 19,358. Hermann, A. Aug. 23. Endless-chain machines ; processes. - Artificial stone, formed of substances such as asbestos and cement mixed with water and filling-materials, is moulded by passing the mass between two converging tracks, which can move in a longitudinal direction, are capable of resisting flexion, and are closed laterally. The mass of material may be strewn with fragmentary coloured materials, prior to compressing, to obtain a coloured surface. A suitable apparatus for carrying out the invention comprises a mixing-apparatus of similar construction to that described in Specification 19,359/12, which delivers the material in the form of a ribbon to a conveyer 21, which carries it between a pair of endless converging bands 22, 23 furnished with transverse grid bars provided with ribs 25, Fig. 3, and sieves 26. The upper chain is supported by beams 29 adjustable by screws 32. The pressure tracks are guided by nails, and the space between the tracks is closed laterally by flanges on the lower grid bars. The apparatus forms no part of the invention.

Title: Improvements in Methods of Equalising the Load on Systems of Supply for Alternating Current Electric Motors.
Inventor: ECKMANN SIEGMUND
IPC: H02J1/16
Filed: 1912-11-14
Granted: 1913-07-17
Abstract: 9174. Eckmann, S. Nov. 14, 1912. [Addition to 11,597/12.] Systems for alternating-current motors only. -In a system of electric supply to a number of alternating-current electric motors, some or all of which have fly-wheels, or in which the flywheel effect is considerable, automatic regulating-devices are provided which are operated in accordance with the total current supplied to the system to cause a decrease of the current taken by each motor having a fly-wheel when the total current increases, and vice versÔ. The invention is a modification of that described in the parent Specification. The Figure shows a system for two motors 1, 2, both being provided with fly-wheels 8, 9 and with resistances in their secondary members, which are operated automatically by motor magnets 14, 15 in the manner of the well-known slip regulators used in connexion with rolling-mills &c. Series transformers 16, 17 in the supply leads to the individual motors are connected so as to operate the magnets 14, 15 in the usual manner. According to the present invention, additional transformers 18, 19 in series with the main feeders 5, 6, 7 are also connected to the motor magnets 14, 15 so that an increase of the total current taken by the system produces an increase in the resistance of the secondary circuits of all the motors having fly-wheels, so reducing their demand on the supply mains. The method may be varied by causing the regulating-effect to depend upon both voltage and current variation in the main conductors or to apply to the primary windings of the motors in place of the secondary windings, and relays may be used if desired. The series transformers 16, 17 in the individual conductors may be omitted.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Displaying Goods of all Descriptions, Advertisements, Post-cards and the like.
Inventor: FIVEASH ARTHUR PHILIP
IPC: A47F5/025

Granted: 1913-09-04
Abstract: 11,023. Fiveash, A. P. May 9. Rotary apparatus. - Goods or advertisements are displayed upon platforms, tables, extending arms, &c. carried by two concentric shafts which are caused to rotate one at a time, successively, in opposite directions, means being also provided for coupling the two shafts together so that they rotate in unison but intermittently. The supports T, s are carried on shafts o, m respectively, and driven by disks g, h in turn. A cam-disk c on the shaft of a motor a carries a pin d which engages a pin e on the disk g, which is mounted loosely on a sleeve j but is normally secured to the shaft o by means of the tail z of a catch y pivoted at w. When the pin e slides off the pin d, an arm g<2> on the disk g is engaged by the surface c<1> of the disk c, and when these disengage, an arm g' is engaged by the surface c<2> until the shaft o has altogether turned through a quarter of a revolution, whereupon the disk g becomes stationary with a pin e opposite the plain part of the disk c. Then the pin d and the surfaces c<1>, c<2> drive the lower disk h in a similar manner but in the reverse direction, the disks being driven alternately. If it is desired to couple the shafts m, o, a handle y<6> is depressed, thereby lifting the tail z clear of the hole g<1> in the disk g and inserting the part y<1> of the catch y into slots o<1>, m<1> in the shafts o, m, thus rendering the disk g loose, so that both shafts are driven intermittently by the disk h.

Abstract: 21,164. Burney, T. Oct. 19. Boats.-Relates to a toy submarine fitted with torpedo apparatus. In the form shown in Fig. 1, air can be forced into a rubber bladder E enclosed in the hull A, by compressing a flexible ball Z fitted with a non-return valve. As the bladder expands water is expelled from the hull through openings N and the boat rises. At the same time a figure M may be raised through the conning-tower. The tube B, to which the bladder is secured, is fitted with a double-acting valve C and receives a dummy torpedo D at the front. When the pressure of air becomes sufficient, the valve opens and the torpedo is ejected, the valve closing again against an inrush of water. The end of the torpedo may act as a closure to the valve seating C<1>, and in a further modification, the torpedo is locked in position by a lever carrying a detent which is freed when the bladder E expands. In a modification, the rubber bladder is dispensed with, and the air is forced directly into the hull. In this arrangement, the torpedo is held by a detent on a lever provided with a float until the water in the hull raises the float sufficiently to release the detent. The torpedo may be expelled by the air pressure or by a spring.

Abstract: 21,571. Holt, H., and Seeley, A. Oct. 27. Winding-machines.-Relates to means for securing cones of paper &c. upon the spindles of winding-machines. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, a loose sleeve g upon the spindle h has two conical portions i, f, and the latter is provided with slots p and has surrounding it a split sleeve a provided with ridges or points for engaging with the inner surface of the paper cone b. Sliding on the spindle h and operated in one direction by a spring m is a collar n with arms o, which engage with the slots p in the sleeve g and in a circular groove q in the split sleeve a, being admitted to the groove q through slots in the sleeve. When the spindle is turned outwards as shown in Fig. 3, the collar n is moved towards the small end of the cone against the action of the spring m, by engagement with the fixed cam-surface v, the collar n carrying with it the split sleeve a so as to release the paper cone b. When the spindle is moved into its working position at right-angles to the bracket u, the collar n and split sleeve a are moved by the spring m towards the wide end of the cone, expanding the sleeve a and causing it firmly to grip the paper cone b. The spindle is held in the working position by the engagement of the spring w with the cam-surface x. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the surfaces of the conical parts i, z are smooth, and the paper cone b is held by the points -t of springs which are so shaped and mounted, as shown in such Figure, that when the points move outwards to engage with the inner surface of the paper cone, they also move towards the wider end thereof. The points are withdrawn into the position shown by projections 7 on the sliding collar 6.
