Title: An Improved Short Circuiting Device for the Ignition Mechanism of Internal Combustion Engines.
Filed: 1912-11-28
Granted: 1913-06-05
Abstract: 27,403. Bosch, R., [Firm of]. Jan. 13, [Convention date]. Magnetos, driving. - An auxiliary magneto used for starting an internal-combustion engine is driven through spur - wheels h, l and pin-and-slot mechanism 7, 8 when the handle 9 is pushed inwards. Partial or complete withdrawal of the handle allows the spring-contact 16 to bear on the conducting piece 18 and short-circuit the main magneto. The handle is of complicated crosssection to prevent unauthorized use of the engine.

Title: Apparatus for Producing Interaction between Liquids and Gases or Vapours.
Inventor: HART JOHN ALSTON
IPC: B01F3/04
Filed: 1912-11-30
Granted: 1913-07-03
Abstract: 27,654. Hart, J. A. Dec. 4, 1911, [Convention date]. [Addition to 29,391/10.] Treating with liquids. - The apparatus described in the parent Specification is modified so as to cause the gas streams to impart directly to the liquid particles a component motion parallel to the axis of whirl of the gas currents in the casing and thereby influence the distribution of the liquid over the interaction surface. In carrying the invention into effect as shown in Fig. 1, the cylindrical casing described in the parent Specification is replaced by a conical casing a. Liquid fed by a pipe 37 is distributed over the apertured surface b by centrifugal action due to the rotation imparted to it by the streams of gas, thus receiving a component motion parallel to the axis of the casing or the axis of whirl of the gas currents. The liquid may be drawn off through one or more rings of apertures 36 directed oppositely to those through which the gas enters, and re-circulated if necessary, with or without intermediary heating or cooling. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the gas apertures b are inclined to the axis of the casing. They may be inclined in an upward or downward direction, and may be applied to conical or cylindrical casings.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Paper Winding Machinery Employed in the Manufacture of Paper Tubes, Barrels, or the like.
Inventor: WHITE CHARLES MELBOURNE
IPC: B31C1/08
Filed: 1912-12-18
Granted: 1913-09-11
Abstract: 29,178. White, C. M., [Jackson, P. T.]. Dec. 18. Paper pipes and tubes. - In a machine for winding paper more especially for making tubes and barrels, the mandrel is expanded by means of an expander 37, Fig. 3, which is moved radially outwards by inclines on a slide 35, co-acting with inclines on the expander. The surface of the expanded mandrel is continuous and consists of a cap 46 secured to a core 34, sections 42 hinged to the core at 49, and the outer surface 45 of the expander. The mandrel is mounted in rotatable heads 9, 22, Fig. 1, the head 9 having a longitudinallymovable sleeve 10, and the head 22 being carried in a plunger 19, which is longitudinallymovable by means of a screw 31. The movement of the head 22 to clamp the mandrel in position serves to move the slide 35 to expand the mandrel. The head 9 may be provided with a spring to move the slide 35 in the opposite direction when the head 22 is moved to release the mandrel. The shaft 5 is driven by a gear 6, which is loose on the shaft but may be connected to it by moving bars 13 on a collar fixed to the shaft, so that their ends grip the hub of the gear.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Players for Pianos or Organs.
Inventor: TYE ARTHUR JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1913-01-03
Granted: 1913-12-18
Abstract: 229. Tye, A. J. W. Jan. 3. Winding - mechanism. - A single lever operating a rotary or translatory valve is adapted to control the tempo and also the rewinding movements, and to open or close the connexion between the action wind-chest and the source of pressure or suction. Fig. 6 is a cross-section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 1 which shows a slide valve B in a pressure wind-chest A and connected by a link B<1> to the operating-lever. As the valve B is moved from the position shown towards the left, the following operations are effected. The connexion of the pipe P to exhaust through the port E<1> and channel C is closed and the port F connects the pipe P to pressure, so inflating a bellows X. The bellows U can exhaust through the pipe M, port O and channel L, so that the slide Q is moved from right to left. The pipe action wind-chest is thus connected to the pressure-supply pipe R and the exhaustconnexion T is closed. The port K then registers with the port J through which wind passes to start the motor driving the tune-sheet. As the movement of the valve B to the left continues, the ports H successively register with the port G to increase the speed of the motor and thus the tempo of the performance. Subsequently, the port E<11> connects the pipe P to the exhaust-port C, so that the bellows X collapses. Simultaneously, pressure is admitted through the port N and pipe M to the bellows U, causing it to expand and move the slide Q until the action wind-chest is cut off from the pressure-supply and connected to the exhaust port T. The change-gear mechanism for rewinding is operated during the latter part of the movement of the lever. As the valve B is returned to the position shown, the instrument remains silent owing to the connexion to exhaust of the action wind-chest through the port T.

Granted: 1913-06-05
Abstract: 2547. Jackson, C. F., and Staley, J. F. Jan. 31. Overwinding, preventing.-The mechanism for preventing overwinding of winding-engines described in Specification 15,443/12 is modified by inserting a governor-controlled distance-piece between the travelling tappets and the arm for releasing the stop gear. The stepped or bevelled block Z mounted on a vertical rod Z<2> is adjustable vertically by a lever connexion to the governor sleeve N. The rod Z<2> rests against the trip lever M, and if the speed is too high during the last revolution of the winding-drum, the block Z is interposed between the trip lever M and the travelling tappet D<2>, so that the engine stop gear is brought into action. The block Z is adjustable along dovetail guides on the rod Z<2>, and may be removed when coal is being wound.

Abstract: 9427. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. April 16. Ruffling - machines; feed by presser and needle. - A strip of fabric is fed downwards past the serrated end 77 of a feed-foot 38, and the fabric strip is crowded or ruffled by the end 77 before passing to the needle. The presser-foot 43 is turned up at 75 to form a support for the fabric strip when the feed-foot recedes from it and moves upward. The fabric strip is pressed on to the feed-foot and presser-foot by means of a freelypivoted spring plate 63 when the plate is pressed forward by the finger of the operator. The toe 75 of the presser-foot may also be serrated and then acts alternately with the feed-foot as a ruffler. The plate 63 is carried by a bracket 60, Fig. 4, pivoted at 62 and controlled by a spring 70 and a screw 72. It may be clamped in an inoperative position by a screw 73. The bracket also carries a rod 67 which, with the continuation of the pivot shaft 62, forms a guide for the fabric strip. Edge guides for the same are clamped upon the shaft 62. The feedfoot 38 is carried by a bar 34 linked to a lever 25, which is linked also to a crank 20 on the needle shaft. The feed-foot bar and the needlebar 41 reciprocate in an oscillating frame which also carries the coacting needle-throat.
