Title: Improvements in Automatic Hydraulic Pressure Regulators.
Inventor: KOENIG ADOLF
IPC: G05D16/18
Filed: 1911-12-15
Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 28,299. K÷nig, A. Dec. 20, 1910, [Convention date]. Conveyer apparatus, injector; regulating.- For the purpose of economizing the consumption of high-pressure fluid in hydraulic machines having variable loads, the device shown in Fig. 2 is used. The high-pressure pipe circuit a, b, is formed at one place into a form of injector surrounded by a chamber to which is supplied low-pressure fluid through a pipe c and valve d, and high-pressure fluid through a branch e and valve f. When the normal movement of the plunger takes place, liquid moves slowly, and the valve f falls by its weight and allows highpressure fluid to pass. If the resistance to the plunger decreases and the plunger moves quickly, the flow of liquid closes the valve f, and the high speed of liquid through the pipes a, b induces low-pressure fluid through the pipe c.

Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 10,276. Fickert, K. Oct. 28, 1912, [Convention date]. Excavating.-A motor digging-machine, which may be employed for levelling ground, comprises a digging-blade having a swinging motion and co-operating with an opposed knife to cut and lift the soil and deposit it in a hopper, which may be provided with means for discharging it laterally. The digging - blade e is carried by pivoted arms f and is rocked about the pivots by arms d, transverse rod u, connecting-rods c. and crank-wheels b, driven from the motor shaft a. The pivot pins are mounted in a pivoted frame h, which is adjustable vertically by means of a winding-device k. The opposed knife l is pivoted at m and pressed against the blade e by springs n. It is drawn back as it descends by a rod p, which is locked in position in an eccentrically pivoted sheath o by a spring plunger 'q engaging a notch. In the lowest position, the plunger q strikes a stop s and releases the rod p, thus allowing the knife l to snap forward against the blade e. The soil is lifted and discharged into the hopper t. The machine is moved forward intermittently while at work, the distance moved being regulated by adjusting the variable-speed ratchet driving-mechanism shown. The power is transmitted to the travelling wheels 9 from a crank-shaft 1 by connecting- rods 2, levers 3, a transverse rod 5, and levers 7. which are pivoted on the axle 8 and are provided with pawls 10 engaging with ratchet teeth 11 on the wheels 9. The rod 5 carries antifriction rollers and passes through slots in the levers 3, 7. The speed is varied by moving the rod 5 by turning a handle 19 and thus rotating a screw 16, which passes through a movable saddle 14 linked to the rod 5 and resting on a slide 15. In order that the machine may be turned quickly, the slide 15 engages an eccentric pin 21 on the front-wheel frame and is thus caused to swing about a pin 20 when the wheels are steered. This swinging of the slide moves one end of the rod .5 nearer to the axle 8 and the other end further away from it, and thus causes one wheel to travel faster than the other.

Granted: 1914-06-15
Abstract: 93. Pollak, J. E., [Schroeder, Spiess, & Co.]. Jan. 1. Pile supports for sheet feeds. - The release of the throw-out mechanism for the combing- rolls for feeding sheets supplied thereto in fanned-out condition is effected by a rack yieldingly mounted on a reciprocating member engaging a pawl controlled by the detector for the fed sheet, the yielding of the rack effecting a lifting of the pawl to release a brake from the throw - out mechanism. The reciprocating member also operates, in controlled manner, the roll for supplying the sheets in fanned-out condition to the combing-rolls. The rack 6, controlled by a spring 9, is carried by links 7, 8 from a bar 5 reciprocated by an arm 1, which is moved in one direction by a spring 4 and in the other direction by its pin-and-slot connexion 2, 3 with a rod z connected to a crank-pin y. A pawl q is loosely mounted on the spindle of the detector s, which, when raised by a separated sheet, allows the pawl to descend into engagement with the rack. The arrested rack rises in swinging on its links, and the pawl lifts the end p of a pivoted lever n, which, through a link o, raises the free end of a spring-controlled lever k pivoted at l and provided with pins h, v acting as a brake on a spring-controlled throw-out bar f. The bar f then rises and moves the bell-crank c clear of its actuating-cam y and thereby turns the bracket b so as to raise the combing-roll a out of action. The bar f and lever k are reset by a projection y<2> on the arm y<1>. An adjustable stop 10 limits the displacement of the rack on the bar 5, and thereby the movement of the bar under the action of the spring 4. The return movement of the bar 5 is thus predetermined and acts through a lever x, pawl w, ratchetwheel v, and spur gear to drive the supply-roll t for fanning-out the sheets from the pile u.
