Abstract: 17,028. Vojen, A. March 4, [Convention date]. Telephones.-Receiving-instruments depending on radio-active effects are constructed with a core n of iron or platinum wound with a coil which, on the passage of a current, produces emanations. The bombardment of the emanations on the iron plates p, p' produces the energy for the sound-waves. The iron cylinder in which the coil and core are mounted is screwed into a ring f, and the plates p, p<1> are held in dielectric rings opposite the ends of the cylinder. The horns c, c<1> are separately adjustable. The wire for the coil is obtained by coating a copper wire in a solution of iodine in alcohol, or by slightly amalgamating an aluminium wire by shaking it in mercury. It is stated in the Specification that a microphone can be used as a receiver.

Granted: 1912-11-04
Abstract: 24,575. Ges. f³r Elektrotechnische Industrie. Nov. 5, 1910, [Convention date]. Welding.-In welding the longitudinal seams of tubes by electrodes arranged on both sides of the seam, the electrodes are rigidly connected together on a common floating support so as to have no independent radial motion, thereby avoiding irregularities in the joint caused by unequal softening due to variations in conductivity of the opposite sides of the seam. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the welding-rollers b, c are insulated from each other in a member f which is moved between guides f', f<1> into contact with the work by a weighted lever g. In another form, Fig. 2, parallel welding - rollers are mounted on a spindle k on a bearing d, which is pressed down by a spring through a rod h and lever g.

Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 6036. Willcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine Co., [Willcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine Co.]. March 11. Multiple seam sewing - machines; seaming edge-to-edge; presser-feet; trimming or cutting. -In a machine for stitching seams such as that illustrated in Figs. 1 to 4, of Specification 14,917/06, in which a surface thread 5, Fig. 1, is stitched across the abutting edges of two pieces of fabric by four needles 1, 2, 3, 4, it is arranged that the thread-carrying looper 5<a>, the looper 5<c>, and the edge-trimming mechanism are mounted upon the presser-foot and move with it when raised. The looper 180 carries a thread-eye 5<a> and a thread deflector 5<b> which positions the thread so that two needles pass it on one side and two on the other. The looper 190 after engaging the thread with its hook 5<c>, as shown in Fig. 11, moves into the position shown in Fig. 1, so that the arm of the thread passing to the work lies behind all the needles. These loopers are secured respectively to shafts 182 and 191, Fig. 24, mounted in plates 183 and 192 fixed upon the presser-foot and operatively connected to an arm 187 integral with the oscillating trimmer bar 188. The trimmer comprises a fixed blade 200 secured in the presser-foot and a moving blade 201 secured to the bar 188. This bar is formed integral with a split sleeve 189, Fig. 21, clamped upon a sleeve 207 slidingly mounted upon the presserbar 215 and extending downwards through the machine head into proximity to the presser-foot. The sleeve 189 is formed with an arm 211, universally jointed to an eccentric rod by which the trimmer and the loopers are operated. A spring 209 between the sleeves 207, 189 and a collar 210 presses the shaft 188 downwards and holds the trimming-blades in contact. The presserfoot is held from rotation by means of a plate 223 upon it which is held in sliding engagement with a plate depending from the machine head. A chaining-foot 231 is mounted in the presserfoot and its spring accommodates it to the irregular surface produced by the stitches and also presses it down to hold the chaining stitches upon the work-plate when the work passes from under the presser. A plate 229 deflects the trimmings away from the needles. To permit the needles to be placed very close together, they are arranged with their eyes oblique to the line of feed. In an alternative arrangement for operating the loopers, the looper spindles are connected directly by links to the sleeve 207. Presser - bars, lifting non - automatically; governing needle thread.-The presser and the associated loopers and trimmer are lifted directly by a lever 726, Fig. 29, which may be arranged to be operated by a treadle or knee rod 741 alone, or alternatively by that and a hand-lever 731. The parts 735, 732 of the hand-gear are arranged to provide a toggle lock in the presser-raised position. The lever 726 is linked to a shaft 727 having a lever-arm which by means of a cam-edge releases the tensions of all the threads when the presser is raised.
