Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 1337. Gmeindl, J., Gmeindl, J., Gmeindl, J., and Gmeindl, A. April 22, 1909, [Convention date]. Feeding - appl'iances delivering equal volumes in equal times. - In automatic feeding-apparatus for furnaces &c., a cell or compartment wheel b is fitted with a time - controlled escapement and is operated beneath a hopper a by the fuel &c. falling upon one part of the circumference o f t h e wheel. To ensure feeding a definite quantity of fuel intermittently at stated intervals, a double - celled rotating receptacle d is fitted beneath the wheel b. The axle of the receptacle is mounted in spring-supported bearings, and gradually sinks as the upper cell fills, until the edge of the cell slips under the end of the adjustable screw g. The receptacle d then rotates through half a turn, and is lifted as the other cell comes into position to be filled. The spring i prevents a backward rotation of the receptacle. The shoot l is provided with a flap m, the upturned sides of which pass under small linings o at the mouth of the shoot.

Granted: 1911-07-26
Abstract: 17,785. Dick, F. B. July 26. Zinc oxide and sulphate.-Siliceous zinc ores, such as Broken Hill ore, are agitated with water and then with sufficient sulphuric acid to sulphate the zinc, the total amount of water being about that required to dissolve all the zinc sulphate produced, and the whole after drying is heated to a temperature high enough to decom- 'pose soluble sulphates other than zinc sulphate, and to render the silica insoluble. The zinc sulphate is then leached out, and the zinc recovered by electrolysis, the spent electrolyte being used again, or the zinc sulphate may be ignited to obtain oxide and sulphur oxides which are returned to the process. According to the Provisional Specification, the sulphur oxides are converted to sulphuric acid, or are used in an alternative process to replace the sulphuric acid, the sulphur oxides being passed over the heated ore until zinc sulphate is produced for recovery as above.

Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 26,498. Smith, O. A. Nov. 15. Drilling-machines. - In a multiple-spindle drilling-machine, the spindles are parallel and are in a plane perpendicular to the axis of a work-turret which carries a number of bushings parallel to its axis. The machine is specially adapted for drilling a number of diametral holes in bolt-heads. The drill-spindles 47, 48, 49 are driven by change-wheels from a wheel 36, which is driven from the pulley 34 through a ratchet clutch so that the machine may be reversed to withdraw the drills without reversing the spindles.. The cam-shaft 18 is driven by spur and worm gearing from the pulley 34, and carries a cam 57 for actuating the feed-lever 54; this lever operates a yoke 52 against a spring return, and the cam is shaped so as to withdraw the drills when about half the depth of hole is reached, and then to return them to complete the holes. The turret 7 is pawl-actuated from the cam shaft 18, and is locked by a spring bolt 26 actuated from the same shaft. Spring plungers 83 to hold the work in position during drilling are carried by a plate connected to a cam-operated lever 70.

Abstract: 2359. Conniff, P. Jan. 30. Force-feed lubricators.-A device for lubricating the wheel flanges of locomotives, tenders, and other railway vehicles comprises a casing 7, Figs. 2 and 3, carrying a stick 9 of solid lubricant, which is yieldingly pressed against the flange 10 of the wheel 11. The casing 7 slides along an arm 2 fixed to the vehicle, and is secured in the adjusted position by set-screws 4; angular adjustment is afforded by two toothed disks 5, 14 which are clamped together by a nut 16 on a spindle 15. The lubricant 9 is sheathed in lead or other soft material 12, which is furnished with ratchet teeth 13 engaged by a dog 23, actuated by a plunger 27 and a spring 24. The dog and the spring are carried by a follower 19 sliding in a slotted guide-tube 17. To render the sheath 12 reversible, the teeth 13 are formed on both sides. A fixed pin 21 occupying slots 20 in the follower 19 acts as an abutment for the spring. When, in feeding the lubricant, the dog reaches the end of the slot 8, it is pulled back by a finger-piece 28 so as to engage another of the ratchet teeth 13 on the sheath 12. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which a plunger 33 is pressed against the lubricant by a spring 35 carried in a frame 31, which is adjusted in the casing 7, and is clamped by a nut 32 on a spindle 30 projecting through a slot 29.

Granted: 1911-05-04
Abstract: 2733. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. March 1, 1910, [Convention date]. Automatic exchange systems.- In an automatic or semi-automatic exchange system, the first ringing-current is sent over contacts of the connector sideswitch and not by means of the usual ringing - relay. Further intermittent calls may then be given until the called subscriber responds. The side - switch magnet S is controlled by a differential relay X, so as to be energized at the commencement and de - energized at the conclusion of each train of selecting - impulses, in the manner described in Specifications 6654/10 and 9634/10. The wipers a, b having been brought on to the terminals of the wanted subscriber, the testwiper c is connected through the side-switch arm s<5> to the test-relay Y. If the line is disengaged, the magnet Y is energized and closes a contact 4 so that the interrupter U is able to energize and deenergize the magnet S. The side switch therefore moves into the fourth position, connecting the ringing-generator RQ directly to the line a, b over the arms s', s<2>. In this position, the magnet S is again energized and de-energized by the interrupter U<1>, and the side-switch moves into the fifth position, connecting the ringing-generator to line through an interrupter U<2>, condensers C<a>, C<b>, and arms, s', s<2>. When the called subscriber responds, his line is energized over the relay Y and inductance D<r>, and the contact 4 is closed so that the interrupter U can operate to bring the side-switch into its sixth and last position, in which the talking circuits are completed between the lines a<1>, b<1>, and a, b. A modification is described in which the additional calls in the fifth position of the sideswitch are controlled by a relay energized intermittently by an interrupter common to all the connectors.

Abstract: 22,499. Spiess, G. Oct. 12. Counting - apparatus; tripping and like arrangements.-In a device for counting travelling sheets of the kind wherein the moving sheet operates a feeler controlling the counter, the feeler is in the form of a thin elastic spring which yields as the sheet passes beneath and rocks a pawl into engagement with a rotating ratchet-wheel to operate a relay mechanism of the kind described in Specification 4663/09. The spring feeler A is pivoted on a pin C on a swing- ing arm B, and is stiffened by an adjustable spring D.

Abstract: 2362. Abbott, A., and Bisland, P. E. Jan. 29. Counters for coins.-An apparatus for counting and stacking a predetermined number of coins comprises a channel b, Fig. 1, connected by a yoke c' to a frame b<2> containing the counting-apparatus. The channel and frame are detachably fastened to a grooved board a, having a raised rim a<1>, by engaging the bottom of the channel beneath a projection a<5> on the rim, a lug on the frame b<2> entering a depression behind the rim on the front edge of the board. The groove in the board is of such a depth that the top of the channel is flush with the surface of the board. Coins placed on the board or tray a are pushed towards and along the channel b and its continuation c, Fig. 5, the yoke c<2> allowing the passage of a single row of coins only. The width of the channel c can be varied by means of an adjustable plate d. Each coin actuates the counting-wheel e, which transmits its movement to the graduated numeral-wheel f through the toothed wheels e<3>, f<2>, and thence, through a single tooth f<7>, actuates a counting-apparatus o. The coins then fall through the channel c<4> into a pivoted stacking-tube p<2>, Fig. 3. The tube p<2> can be reversed on its pivot-p<5> so as to empty the coins into a suitable package or bag r. In order to stop the apparatus when a predetermined number of coins has been counted, a pin j may be inserted in one of the holes i<2>, i<3>, n<2> in the cover-plate of the frame b<2>. The pin will then engage in the outer portion of the hole g, Fig. 5, in the numeral-wheel when the wheel completes a revolution, that is when fifty coins have been counted, or alternately in the inner portion of the hole g and in the hole h at each half-revolution, or in the hole m in a wheel k driven by the wheel f<2>, when twenty coins have been counted, respectively. The tube p<2> may, however, be removed, and coins counted continuously into a bag.
