Abstract: 14,932. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Hackett, D. A. June 26. Shallow-overhung-blade fans and pumps; impeller blades.-In centrifngal fans and pumps of the kind comprising vanes secured at one end to a disk b and at the intake end to a stiffening-ring h and having their outer and inner edges g<2>, g<3> contained in one plane, the vanes are so formed that the angle at which the fluid is discharged from them is less at the intake end of the fan than at the disk end, the angle of discharge being defined as that between the direction of the issuing fluid relatively to the rotating member and the tangent to the circumference of the rotating member in the direction of rotation at the point of discharge. Thus the angle of discharge #, Fig. 1, at the intake end is less than the angle of discharge alpha at the disk end. The blade may be modified subject to this restriction.

Abstract: 18,388. Pitts, S. T. Aug. 10. Pottery, manufacture of.-For removing materials such as China-clay from chambers, the bottom A of the chamber is made in the form of a grid-iron, the spaces being filled by studs B until the material has set. The sides and the studs B are then removed, and the material is cut by knives on a travelling car, or the block may be conveyed to cutting-devices. In the arrangement shown, the car D carries a driving- pulley I, which operates all the mechanism on the car, and idle pulleys H. A belt passes around the pulleys H, I, and over two pulleys F driven from the main-shaft, so that the pulley I is driven whatever be the position of the car between the two pulleys F. The car carries reciprocating knives K pivoted to rods M, N, the rod M being driven by a connecting-rod L, while the rod N is driven by the rod M, but its motion is limited by stops O. A rotary knife J is also provided. The cut material falls through the openings in the bottom A on to a conveyer E. Any other cutting-devices may be used, such as reciprocating cutters alone. The Provisional Specification refers also to cutting-devices of a kind in which one set of cutters takes a cut and then retires to allow another set of cutters to come into action.

Abstract: 18,875. Ward & Co., H. W., and Deakin, W. Aug. 17. Driving machines; feed-motions.-A machinetool feed-mechanism, in which two or more motions in different directions are controlled by a single worm, has a single controlling- handle, which, after disengaging the worm, transfers the drive from one motion to another and then re-engages the worm. The application to turret-lathes is described in connexion with automatic stop mechanism, and a statement of application of a modification without automatic stop-mechanism, described for controlling three feeds, to milling-machines is given. Turning.-The drop-box 6, Fig. 2, is operated through a hardened nut piece 14 from a cam 12 on the shaft of the controlling-handle 11. A cam 13 is mounted on this shaft with sufficient lost motion to allow the worm to be completely disengaged before sliding the pinion 9. On the completion of the sliding movement, a second swell on the cam 12 lifts the drop box. In a modification, the cam 12 has a helical rib engaging a slider, on a separate pin, which embraces the pinion. In a further modification the cam is replaced by a sector engaging a pinion on a spindle with a quick thread for traversing the slider. An automatic stop is provided on one motion by a cam 25 operated by a rod 26 actuated by selector stops 29 from the saddle and by selector stops 31 from the cross-slide, on the other motion. A projection on the drop-box may engage a pin 38 co-operating with a recess in the nut-controlling mechanism to interlock the two motions mutually.

Granted: 1913-09-04
Abstract: 7729. Auld & Sons, D., Auld, J., and Graham, J. April 2. Pressure-regulating valves.-Relates to pressure-regulating check valves for use in connexion with the launching of torpedoes. The valve comprises a main valve 1, Fig. 1, balanced by a piston 9 controlled by a spring 11, and opening automatically when a launching-valve admits air to the inlet 3 of the regulating- valve. The invention consists in combining therewith a non-return valve 12 in a duct 13, at the back of the piston, and a pilot valve 14 controlled by the air pressure in the outlet 4 of the main valve The pilot valve is guided and controlled by pistons 16, 17, a spring 21, and a diaphragm 18 in such a manner that any excess pressure in the outlet 4 opens the valve 14, which relieves the pressure at the back of the piston 9 and causes the main valve 1 to close wholly or in part, whereas, when the outlet pressure is insufficient, the valve 14 closes, and air leaks past the piston 9, accumulates in the chamber 10, and opens the valve 1 wider. In a modification, Fig. 2, the launching-valve is replaced by a three-way cock 26 which allows the air containers to be charged through the ports 27, 28 from high-pressure bottles provided with reducing-valves and, when turned to connect the ports 28, 31, admit compressed air to the back of the piston 9 to open the valve 1. In this case, a disk 30 is provided on the piston 9 to prevent leakage past it until the valve 1 is opened.

Abstract: 8044. Adriance, B. Oct. 29, 1912. Capsules, applying; bottling. -A bottle-feeding machine of the rotary-table type is provided with means yieldable in two directions to prevent injury to or irregular movements of the bottles. Secured to the base a, Fig. 1, of the machine is a platform b having an opening c through which passes the pillar e carrying the capsuling-head. A flange i secured to the pillar supports the bottle turret j having elastic bottle seats k and a ring l with projections m adapted to engage with the bottles. The turret is rotated by a shaft g and gearing o, p. The bottles are placed by band in a guideway 15, 16, Fig. 6, formed on a disk w, the disk being rotated by peripheral contact with a rim on the turret. As the disk rotates, the bottles are fed towards the turret, being deflected thereto by a guide 18 so as to be engaged by the projections m on the turret, after pushing past a spring-pressed arm 20, and they are then pressed towards their seats in the turret by resiliently-mounted rollers 8 on au arm 4. The arm 4 is mounted on a boss y carried by a lever r, Figs. 4 and 6, pivoted at one end and pressed towards the turret at its other end by a spring t so that the arm 4 and rollers 8 can yield when a bottle is wedged against them. To prevent injury to the bottles if they are caught by the projections m on a dead-centre, the rollers 8 are positively rotated as the arm 4 turns on its axis by a fixed rack 10 engaging a pinion on the axis of the rollers.

Title: Improved Sighting Device for Guns.
IPC: F41G1/393
Filed: 1912-11-17
Granted: 1914-06-11
Abstract: 23,460. Rheinische Metallwaaren und Maschinenfabrik. Nov. 7, 1912, [Convention date]. Sights and methods of sighting, for guns firing at aerial targets. The invention consists in an automatic sight based upon the law that, for targets at a constant vertical height above the horizontal plane of the gun, the range is inversely proportional to the sine of the angle of site. The automatic gear is so arranged that, for targets: in the horizontal plane of the gun, the sight is used as an. ordinary tangent sight. The sight-bar t, carrying a foresight b and a tangent backsight c, d, is loosely pivoted around the trunnion axis s and is connected by a link e to a block q, which is slidable upon an arm i rigidly connected to the trunnion and is guided by a circular guide f, when the gun is elevated, in the manner described in Specification 1939/11. The guide f is pivoted at g and is normally concentric with the trunnion, but, for targets above the muzzle-horizon, it is rocked about the pivot g by a worm gear p in accordance with the vertical height of the target. The ensuing pointing operation of the gun causes the block q to move along the guide f and automatically reduce the sight angle of elevation by the necessary amount. The pivot g is carried by a curved member k, which is adjustable in a circular guide l, concentric with the trunnion, by a worm gear m, to correct for fore and aft inclination of the ground &c. Correction for lateral inclination of the wheels is made by a cross-levelling worm u which rocks the bar t in the carrier a. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the subjectmatter of Specification 2814/14, according to which the range-adjustment for targets in the horizontal plane of the gun is made by rocking the guide f about the pin g in accordance with a range-scale. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
