Granted: 1911-03-24
Abstract: 7429. Greenfield, E. T. March 25, 1909, [Convention date]. Coating - machines.- Metal tubes are heated and automatically passed into and through a bath of liquid coating - material, the tube as it emerges being automatically wiped and polished both internally and externally. The preliminary heating of the tubes is effected in a chamber 3, heated by burners 9, in which the tubes 5 are piled, the lowest tube resting on rollers which advance it to the coating-bath 13, Fig. 4. The tube is guided by a funnel 19 to the rollers 20, which forward it tu a funnelshaped exit 15, and as it emerges therefrom, the exterior of the tube is wiped by asbestos or other dies 24. The tube is simultaneously entered by the end of a rod 34 carrying asbestos &c. wipers 35, which wipe and polish the interior of the tube as it is advanced over the rod 34 by the rolls 20. The wiping-rod, as described in Specification 1924/11, is alternately and automatically held and released at opposite ends by clamping-devices as the tube advances. The treated tube then passes down over rollers 10 arranged above a shoot 27. The shoot and also the floor 26 under the wiping-rod 34 are heated by waste gases from the furnace which is arranged under the coating-chamber 13. The various sets of rolls 20 are connected by sprocket gearing and driven from a motor. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) relates also to the coating and wiping of rods, and also of tubes other than metal, and to the bronzing, japanning, and painting of the tubes and rods. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Feeder Regulators for Regulating the Voltage of Alternating Current, Single, or Polyphase Circuits.
Inventor: RUCKER BENJAMIN PARKS
IPC: G05F1/147
Filed: 1910-12-28
Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 30,054. Rucker, B. P. Dec. 28. Regulation, automatic apparatus for.-Means for automatically regulating the voltage of an alternating-current circuit comprise a voltmeter arm which is adapted to put into operation one or other of two oppositely-directed teeth on a double-ended pawl, carried by a continuously reciprocating device, so as to actuate in one of two opposite directions a toothed member in connexion with a suitable transformer. The toothed member is shown as a wheel 5 having a blank portion to render it inoperable beyond certain limits; it is coupled to the moving contacts of a step-type transformer. The doubleended pawl 16 is pivoted at 17 upon a continuously oscillated slide 14, and has two teeth 37, 38 directed inwardly to co-operate with the teeth in the wheel 5; it also has a projection 18 with suitably-arranged recesses on each side wherein one of two rods 25, 28 may engage to render either tooth 37, 38 operative. Each of these rods is carried by a counterweight 21, 22 pivoted upon a fixed shaft 20. The weights also have pins 31, 32, which contact with one edge of the slide 14 and determine the position of the arms 25, 28. The edge of the slide has a recess with inclines 30, which allow the rods 25, 28 in turn, during each reciprocation of the slide, to be raised by the weights 21, 22 from the position indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 9, in which they may engage the projection 18 of the pawl 16. Either of these rods may, however, be held down until it causes one of the pawl teeth to engage and operate the wheel 5, by means of arms 23, 26, carried by the weights 21, 22 respectively, with the outer ends of which arms the voltmeter arm 34 may contact. Stops 35, 36 limit the movement of this voltmeter arm, and when, by a rise or fall in voltage, it is held in contact with either stop, the corresponding arm 23 or 26, both of which are, with the rods 25, 28, being continuously oscillated by the movement of the slide 14 transmitted through the pins 31, 32, is held down by the point of the voltmeter arm. Thus the corresponding rod 25 or 28 is held in the path of the projection 18 as the pawl 16 moves towards it, which movement continues after the rod and projection have come into contact so as to tilt the pawl into engagement with the wheel 5 and turn it through a distance corresponding to one tooth. This action is repeated at each stroke of the slide until the voltage again becomes normal, whereupon the arms 23, 26 are no longer engaged by the voltmeter arm. The oscillation of the slide 14 is effected by a motor operating a crank-shaft by worm gearing. The crank works within a slot in a bracket fixed to the slide.
