Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 26,665. Summers, J. Nov. 17. Heating - furnaces for metals.-In furnaces for heating and annealing iron or steel sheets, the hot gases from a fire-place pass into longitudinal flues arranged at each side, and enter the working chamber near the lower parts of the covers placed over the sheets, baffle-walls being provided to prevent the gases from impinging directly upon the trays supporting the sheets. From the furnace, the products of combustion pass through passages 4 to channels u and enter the working chamber a through openings v beneath arches x, which are supported by columns y, z. Additional openings 2, which may be filled with loose bricks, are provided at each end as shown. The baffle-walls w, provided for protecting the trays, are formed with openings opposite the columns z, and are supported by walls 11 forming a continuation of the walls y. Shelves 5 are provided above the flues u and support loose brick or other beat-retaining material. From the chamber a, the gases escape through flues 8 and openings 9 to the outlet flue. Specification 10,370/09, [Class 72, Iron &c.], is referred to. Doors.-The door consists of a frame 13, Fig. 9, formed of channel bars 14 and filled with firebricks 15.

Abstract: 22,368. Pugh, W. C., and Gamblee, A. Sept. 27. Make-and-break switches, mechanical; clockwork actuation.-The spindle of the hour-hand of a clock carries a pinion in gear with a wheel 43 mounted on a post 41 secured in the plate 13. A bush 45, also mounted on the post, is driven by the gear-wheel through spring pawls and a ratchet-wheel 44; it is formed with a face cam 53 engaged by a radial finger on the top of the post, and is capable of moving downwards against the action of a spring. A sleeve 50 secured to the bush, is provided with a toe-piece 59 adapted to engage with a segment formed on the end of the switch-lever 39, which is pivoted at 38. The cam, rotating with the gear-wheel, is pressed downwards by its engagement with the finger on the post, and the toe 59 passes under the end of the switch-lever. When the cam clears the finger, the parts are shot upwards by the action of the spring, the toe 59 carrying the switch lever with it and closing the switch. As the rotation continues, the toe clears the end of the lever, and the switch is again opened by the action of a spring 40. The time of closing the switch is adjusted by turning the post, which is provided with an indicator and a dial. The period during which the switch remains closed is controlled by adjusting the sleeve angularly upon the bush. The switch-lever carries a spring bridge-piece which, when depressed, connects two contacts fixed on the plate 13.

Granted: 1912-01-04
Abstract: 11,436. James, R. W., [Ges. f³r Verwertung Technischer Patente]. May 11. Arc lamps.-Parallel or convergent electrodes are bridged by a mixture of an insulating- material, an organic material, and a colloidal inorganic substance such as tungsten, silver, or gold. The heat of the arc, by carbonizing the organic material and oonverting the colloid into a crystalloid, renders the mixture sufficiently conductive to re-strike an arc when required. The organic material may be dry gum arabic, glue, starch, a mixture of sugar and gum, or caramel; the last-named is preferably nearly carbonized and if necessary mixed with graphite or soot to increase its final conductivity. The insulating-material may be finely-divided lime or asbestos. In the lamp shown, a bent plate 3 secured to a wall bracket carries a globe 4, the upper electrode 13, and a plate 18 above the electrodes to steady the arc if flame electrodes are used. The lower electrode is supported solely by the bridge 15, so that it can fall and break the arc when burnt short, the stump and holder being caught by a shelf 5. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 8907/12.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Work Supports for Nailing or other Machines used in the Manufacture of Boots and Shoes.
IPC: A43D69/00
Filed: 1911-10-27
Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 23,851. Pegg, G., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Oct. 27. Work-supports. - A boot and shoe nailing or other machine having a work-support which is movable manually from its normal operative position to a work-receiving position, and is also adapted to be depressed by automatic means to a work - feeding position, is provided with a locking - device normally in action to lock the support in its operative position to the machine frame, and adapted to be released by the automatic means before the support is depressed for feed; the locking - device is also adapted to be released by the manually-operated means controlling the work - support. The work-support A, Fig. 1, is held in its operative position by a comparatively light spring (not shown), and is pivotally connected at A<1> to a lever A<2> fulcrumed at A<3> to the machine frame. The other end of the lever A<2> is connected by an adjustable link A<5> to a slider B, Figs. 1 and 3, which is formed with ratchet teeth B' adapted to be engaged by a pawl B<2> carried in a reciprocating holder B<3> operated by a cam B<4> on the driving- shaft of the machine. As the holder B<3> moves upwards, the pawl B<2> engages the ratchet B' and causes the horn to be depressed for feed; when the holder B<3> moves downwards, a shield disengages the pawl, and the horn is raised again by its spring. The horn is movable into work-receiving position by a treadle C, which carries an abutment C' to contact with an abutment A<6> on the horn lever A<2>. The mechanism just described is of ordinary construction. The locking-device comprises a spring-pressed roller D<3> adapted to wedge between a lining strip B<5> in the slider B and an inclined face D<2> on a thrust block D<1> carried in a bracket D projecting from the machine frame. This device is automatic in its action, and locks the horn in its normal operative position, but it is adapted to be released by a bar F pivotally secured in one arm E<3> of a pivoted bell-crank, the other arm E<1> of which carries a bowl E, Figs. 2 and 3, positioned to be engaged by a cam face B<7> on a block B<6> adjustably mounted in the pawl-holder B<3>. The timing and arrangement are such that as this holder moves upwards, it first actuates the connexions just described to cause the bar F to depress the roller D<3> and release the lock, after which the pawl B<2> engages the ratchet B<1> and depresses the horn. To release the lock manually, the inner end of the treadle lever is pivoted to a rod C<3>, which is formed at its upper end with a cam face C<4> to engage the roller D'. A small amount of lost motion is provided between the abutments C<1>, A<6> so that, when the treadle is depressed, the lock will be released before the lever A<2> is moved to lower the horn.

Abstract: 28,750. Juston, A. Dec. 27, 1910, [Con vention date]. Exciting.-A constant current is derived from a variable-speed dynamo charging accumulators by the employment of two equivalent but oppositely-wound auxiliary field-magnet windings e, f, Fig. 1, connected to brushes g, h located near one another at each side of the line y, y, which corresponds to the neutral axis of the field when the speed is normal. The main field-magnet excitation is provided by means of a shunt winding b. When the speed is normal, the windings e, f are traversed by equal currents so that their action on the excitation is zero. When the speed increases or decreases, the neutral line moves away from or towards the axis x, x, and a resultant demagnetizing or magnetizing action is produced by these windings on the main field of the machine. The single brush i may also be replaced by two brushes connected to oppositely-wound regulating field-magnet windings.
