Abstract: 151. Mackenzie, J. W., [Internationale Neverfail Patentkurbelfenster Ges.]. Jan. 2. Vehicle windows.-Relates to holding-frames for sliding windows as described in Specifications 14,946/12 and 25,893/12, and consists in releasing a spring-pressed holding-frame from a sliding window-pane by means of a substantially vertical movement of this frame. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the holding-frame a is provided with pins b which, when the frame a is in its lowered position, engage springs e so that the frame a is pressed against the pane f, but which, when the frame a is raised, engage fixed inclines c so that the frame a is released from the pane f. The frame a is raised by means of a shaft i passing through slots in the frame a and carrying on its ends eccentric disks k which are seated in the fixed frame, the shaft i being rotated by a suitable handle. In the . arrangement shown in Fig. 6, the frame a is pressed against the pane f by spiral springs p carried by pins t, u on plates q, s secured to the fixed frame d and holding-frame a respectively. The holding-frame is released, when moved vertically, by the engagement of the inclined ends of plates n, o secured to the fixed frame and holding-frame respectively. In a modification, bow springs are substituted for spiral springs.

Abstract: 13,822. Cheron, H., Dominici, H., and Biquard, R. June 15, 1912, [Convention date]. Appliances for illuminating cavities; light, treating diseases with.-A liquid-cooled electric lamp has a glower, non-conductive when cold, removably mounted in a quartz tube, forming the inside of a jacket traversed by a liquid which absorbs the heat radiated and cools the parts; an automatically-operated resistance may also be provided which allows the full current to pass only at intervals, to avoid overheating the object illuminated. The lamp is applicable for phototherapy and for illuminating natural or other cavities in the body. A glower A, either straight or U-shaped, has platinum supply wires enclosed in tubes of quartz or the like, and is mounted on the end of a quartz tube by which it can be inserted into a jacket after being heated to render it conductive. The inner wall C of the jacket is of quartz and the outer wall D of quartz or glass, forming concentric tubes as shown in Fig. 3. One of these may be partly silvered. For illuminating a surface, a metal jacket may be used, silvered internally and having a flat window of glass or quartz, the inner wall of the jacket being silvered opposite to the window. A lamp suitable for cavities is shown in Fig. 6, and has a pointed jacket silvered internally except near the end i, where the light is concentrated by a reflector g behind the glower. Cooling-liquid is supplied near the end i.

Title: Turbine Blading.
Inventor: CHURCHILL-SHANN MONTAGUE HERBE

Granted: 1914-07-02
Abstract: 15,680. Shann, M. H. Churchill-. July 7. Blades for axial-flow turbines are made of diminishing thickness from their outer to their inner ends. In Fig. 14, the upper part shows a cross-section of the blades a at their inner ends while the lower part shows a similar crosssection at their outer ends. The increase of thickness is preferably attained by varying the convex surface of each blade, the concave surface being uniform and radial from root to tip. The entrance and exit angles and the crosssection of the steam passage-ways vary from root to tip. The dimensions are chosen so that the hump or convex portion of a blade overlaps the tip of the adjacent blade over the whole radial length of the blade. Shrouding-rings at the roots and tips of the blades are cast on. For this purpose the blades are set in a core h, Fig. 11, with their ends projecting, and the core is placed in a mould i as shown. For making the core, a core-box, as shown in Fig. 1, is used, comprising inner and outer segments g<1>, g<2>. The segments are provided with notches g<0> for holding the blades in position while the core is being made.

Granted: 1913-11-27
Abstract: 20,905. Hesse, F. Sept. 16. Parachutes.-A parachute, which is connected to the airman, is opened automatically when the machine tilts excessively. The hollow stick a of the parachute is kept upright by a sand-bag at its lower end, and is loosely mounted in a slot in the frame n of the machine. When the machine tilts to a dangerous extent, the frame n strikes one of the levers l pivoted at m and so lowers a spring- actuated catch i, which normally keeps a catch g against a spring-pressed piston d<2> secured to a rod d sliding in the tube a. The rod d is connected to the struts c, which open the parachute when the catch g is freed and the spring e raises the piston d<2>. When the catch i is lowered, a cable p is tehsioned and the mouth of the sand-bag is opened to allow the contents to fall out. In a modified form, Fig. 4, the catch g is withdrawn through a link r connected to a-lever t when the machine inclines as indicated by dotted lines.

Granted: 1914-04-16
Abstract: 27,222. Max, E., and Kammerer, F., [Firm of]. Nov. 26. Rolling; working at specified temperatures.- Wire, plates, &c. electroplated with gold, or with an alloy of gold and silver or copper, are rolled under pressure sufficient to consolidate the coating and weld it to the cores while heated to a temperature, say 750-800‹ C., too low to cause the cores to melt or to absorb any of the coating metal. A good coating may 'thus be produced with only 3 or 4 grammes of gold to 1000 grammes of core material. The products form substitutes for the coated articles known as rolled gold. The rolls preferably have bearings and supports of quartz, zirconia, or like glass of low thermal dilatation, to facilitate accurate adjustment of the pressure, which may be from 1000 to 1500 kilogrammes per square decimetre. Rolls for wire may be placed in an oven, and may be arranged to produce successively larger pressures; the axes of different pairs of rolls may be at right-angles to one another.

Abstract: 28,749. Whittaher, P. C. June 12, 1914. Golf clubs.-In an adjustable-headed golf club, a toothed boss 7, Fig. I, is drawn into the socket portion 1 by means of a helical spring 17 located partly within the blade and partly in the socketportion. Two bars 12, 18, secured respectively to the blade and socket portion and to which the spring 17 is attached, are provided with mutually engaging portions 15, 23, which prevent excessive withdrawal of the blade from the socket portion prior to rotating the blade to the desired angle. The operative length of the rod 18 may be adjusted by means of a nut 21. In a modification, instead of using the rods 12, 18, a pin in the socket portion projects into a slot in a split collar 29, Fig. XI, and thus limits the movement of the blade. The tension of the spring is adjusted by means of a screwed rod 28 and a nut 21.

Abstract: 4314. Douglas, A. Oct. 19. Bottling.-Relates to bottling-machines of the kind in which a counterbalanced hinged or other movable measuring-tray moves downwards when it contains a predetermined quantity of liquid, thereby closing the supply valve, and consists in the provision of means associated with the bottleraisiug mechanism for locking the tray in its lowest position, these means being only effective after the tray has reached its lowest position, so that if the bottle-support is moved up before the tray is in its lowest position, the position of the tray is not affected thereby. As shown, the hand-wheel h<2>, which operates the rack-and-pinion gearing g<2>, h<1> for raising or lowering the support g, has a curved projection h<3>, which engages a projection or roller b<7> on the tray b when the tray is in its lowest position. The tray is preferably divided into a series of compartments b<2> adapted to hold standard quantities of liquid, and the counterweight e<1> is adjustable on the lever e. The conical member a<4> of the supply valve a<2> slides on the feed-pipe a<1> and is connected to the tray b by links d. When the tray is in its lowest position, the member a' closes the radial outlets a<5> in the conical member a<3> at the end of the pipe a'. The lever e is pivoted to projections a<10> on an extension a<9> on the pipe a<1>, and is connected to the member a<4> by links a<7>. When the table g is raised, the necks of the bottles contact with the sliding portions b<6> of the delivery valves b<4> at the lower parts of the compartments b'. Instead of the tray being hinged, it may slide on the uprights c.
