Title: Improvements in Devices adapted to Remove the Stems from Berries.
Inventor: URSCHEL WILLIAM EMMET
IPC: A47J21/00
Filed: 1909-09-21
Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 21,549. Urschel, W. E. Sept. 21. Removing stalks from berries. - A machine for removing stems from berries comprises a slowly revolving perforated plate on which the berries are agitated, and flexible knives revolving below the plate. The berries 11 are fed through the openings 20, 22 on to a slotted plate 36 supported by arms 38 attached to the gearwheel 39, which is loosely mounted on the driving-shaft 14, and is driven from it at a reduced speed by gear-wheels 40, 41, 43. The agitators consist of chains 35 suspended from wires 34 attached to concentric rings 25, 26, which are held together and are moved in small circles by tie-bars 27 connected to a spider 28 mounted on an adjustable eccentric 47 at the cranked part 15 of the shaft 14. Rotation of the agitators about the shaft 14 is prevented by a cross-bar 29 slidably mounted in the forked ends of the arms 31 of a shaft 32 supported in stationary bearings 33. The stems are cut as they project through bevelled radial slots 37 in the plate 36 by flexible knives 44 carried on a hub 45 secured to the driving-shaft. The berries are delivered through an opening 46 in the ring 25. The shaft 14 is driven from a pulley 57 or from a crank on a shaft 5.

Granted: 1910-09-29
Abstract: 22,611. Leitner, H. Oct. 4. [Cognate Application 3435/10.] Lighting systems.-In systems of electric train - lighting in which the train wires are looped back to equalize the voltage applied to the lamps, switches or their equivalent, such as plug couplings, are arranged in the wires, to enable the loops to be altered at will at any point in the train. A train of coaches comprising generator vehicles a, b, k and dependent vehicles c may thus be assembled in any order. The dependent vehicles c have a switch i or two switches i (arranged in parallel relation in the latter case) for supplying the lamp circuit of the car. The generator vehicles a, b carry switches i arranged in series relationship, and the independent generator vehicle k is arranged for through - connexion without switches, as shown. After the vehicles have been assembled, in any order, the switch or switches in the approximate centre of the train may be thrown to arrange loops of approximately equal loading, the independent coach k being ignored in this respect. In the case shown, the generator cars a, b each supply approximately half the train through their regulators g; the vehicle k supplies its own car circuit, and the generating and storing equipments of the vehicles a, b, k are paralleled through other train wires. Specification 29,758/06 is referred to.

Pressure-regulating valves.- Reducing-valves of the type having a diaphragm-operated auxiliary valve have both the main and pilot valves provided with balancing-pistons. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the main valve 1 is formed integrally with a piston 9 loosely fitting a cylinder 10, the pressure in which is released through a spring-loaded valve 12 balanced by a piston 22 working in a cylinder 14, the upper end of which is connected to the high-pressure side through a pipe 15. The auxiliary valve, which in turn actuates the main valve through a bridge-piece 17, is actuated by a diaphragm 3 loaded by a spring 5 and acted on by low pressure admitted through a passage 19. In a modification, the auxiliary valve seat is arranged in the casing instead of in the main valve member. In another modification, the auxiliary valve is arranged in a separate casing, and is actuated by a separate diaphragm.

Abstract: 21,933. Vickers, Sons, & Maxim, [Elia, G. E.]. Sept. 21. Mines, marine.-Relates to mines of the kind in which two or more mines are connected together by a cable, which, when struck by a ship causes the explosive chambers to become disconnected from the flotation chambers, to lie against the side of the ship, and to be fired by a time fuse. According to the invention, the explosive chamber D is caused to move upwards from the flotation chamber A, being pulled out by the connecting-cable F. The continued pull tightens a chain G<1> connecting a rod g to the flotation chamber A, compresses the spring g<3>, shears a pin g<2> releasing the hammer g<4> and firing the time fuse G<2>, and finally shears the pin g<1> thus entirely disconnecting each explosive chamber from its flotation chamber.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Relays for Electric Control Systems.
IPC: B60L15/12
Filed: 1912-03-21
Granted: 1913-03-25
Abstract: 7014. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. March 21. Systems for continuous-current motors only; master control systems.-In a system of motor control described in Specifications 1146/10 and 5993/11, a special relay is used in which the time intervals of the dash-pots 38 controlling the cores of the solenoids L, R are governed by a series coil 20. Screws 25, 25<1> tapped into spaced magnetic bars 21, 22 vary the gap 26 between them, and so develop any desired flux from the coil 20 and carry it through the coils L, R. The coils surround tubular bushings each consisting of a magnetic part 30 and a non-magnetic part 29 within which the core 32 slides. Non-magnetic screws 31 tapped into the magnetic parts of the bushings limit the strokes of the cores. The current in the series coil creates a flux in each core 32, which retards its fall and delays the cutting-out of the resistance. The object of the invention is to accentuate this when a car is being started up an incline, the series current then falling less rapidly than when the track is level.
