Abstract: 14,854. Moxon, E. June 20. Roads and ways, arrangement of.-The roads &c. in a coal mine opened out on the long wall advancing system are arranged so that the air for ventilation has easy access to the coal face, passes along the coal face, and returns by isolated return ways directly to one or more upcast shafts. A new mine is opened out with parallel intake and haulage roads d, d<1> at right-angles to parallel intake and haulage roads f, f<1> from which the air passes by cross roads h to near the centre of each wall of the mine. Return roads e, g are driven between the intake roads. Doors D opening against the air pressure are placed in all other roads or gates to prevent short-circuiting of the air current. As the mine is extended, a second downcast shaft c<1>, Fig. 2, and upcasts b<1>, b<2> may be sunk, the original upcast b being used as a downcast. Air then passes from the downcasts through the roads f, f<1>, g and the roads d and gates i, the road g and the gates i alone leading to the coal face, and returns to the upcasts by roads e, k, k<1>. As the mine is further extended, branch intakes and return ways are set out at right-angles to the main roads as required. Existing mines may be opened out beyond 'faults' in a similar manner, as may also mines in which drifts or headings are driven from the surface.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Beading Trays and like Articles and for Seaming Tins.
Inventor: STOKER ALFRED WASHINGTON
IPC: B21D51/32
Filed: 1914-07-06
Granted: 1915-03-18
Abstract: 16,084. Stoker, A W. July 6. Seaming; angular bending; bending-dies - In a machine for seaming cans or for beading trays &c., twc or more rollers are brought into action by sliding wedges, which are actuated by a single cam or wedge. In the machine for beading rectangular trays shown, upon pressing down the treadle q, Figs. 1 and 4, a ratchet q<2> thereon turns the ratchet-wheel q' secured on the shaft p thus by means of the cam o and link - work n, m<3>, m, m<1>, d<1>, causing the plate d to move down and clamp the work. This movement of the treadle, by means of a cam r<1> and linkwork r<2>, r<4>, Fig. 4, then releases brakes r<5> from a disk r<8> secured on the shaft i and by means of a fixed collars u<1>, with inclined slots engaged by pins of a collar s<3> oscillated by a cam s, moves the rotating pulley j against the cone chuck k, thus driving the shaft i. This shaft through gears l, l<1>, l<3>, l<4>, l<5>, l<6>, Figs. 1 and 4, rotates the clamp c, d and through a worm i<2>, Fig. 1, and wheel i' drives the shaft j<2>, bevel-gears p<3>, p<2>, shaft p, and also the cam h<2>, Fig. 2, which operates the wedge h, causing wedges g<3> to advance the slides g carrying the rollers e relative to the slides g<1>, which follow the profile of the tray by reason of bowls g<8> in the groove g'. The rotation of the shaft p after the cycle of operations is completed causes the clutch j, k to open, the brake r<5> to be applied and the clamp c, d to release the tray. Relative movement of the 'shaft p, when the machine has been stopped, is possible by reason of the worm-wheel i<3> being loosely mounted on the shaft j<2> and driving through a lost-motion device consisting of a pin i<4>, Fig. 4, and a slot j‹ in the collar j<1>. The cam h<2> may act directly on the wedges g<3> when circular articles are being operated on.

Abstract: 20,811. Bendix, V. Oct. 10. Turning-gear. - In power turning-gear in which a pinion moves automatically along a screw-threaded shaft to engage the engine flywheel &c., the screw-threaded shaft 6 is driven from an electric or other motor through a spring 9 and is permitted slight axial movement to facilitate engagement of the pinion 14 with the fly-wheel 15. The pinion is weighted on its lower part by an integral or attached weight 16. To the end of the shaft 6 is attached a bush 19 which takes the end thrust of the pinion. The screw-threaded shaft may be driven through gearing from the motor, or may be in the form of a sleeve surrounding a motor-driven shaft. It may be double threaded, and the pinion may move thereon either towards or away from the starting-motor: The grooves between the screw-threads on the shaft have squared ends, where the pinion is in its disengaged position and the threads on the pinion are also cut away to form square shoulders, which abut against the ends of the grooves to prevent binding; coacting pins or clutch parts may be used for this purpose.

Granted: 1915-09-09
Abstract: 3565. Imray, O., [Siemens & Halske Akt.- Ges.]. March 5. Automatic exchange systems.-In systems in which impulses in a line circuit are repeated by relays to the operating-magnets of selectors. means are provided for defining the duration of the impulses in the local operating-circuits independently of the duration of the generating- impulses in the line circuit. The line relay A energizes a slow-release relay B, which closes circuits through both windings of a transformer T, the operating-magnet D being included in the circuit of the left-hand winding. Each impulse consists in a momentary opening of the line circuit, which de-energizes the relay A and opens the right-hand circuit of the transformer T. The transformer is wound so that the current induced in the left-hand winding by the open-circuiting of the right-hand winding neutralizes the steady current and de-energizes the magnet D. The de-energization of the magnet D only lasts while the induced impulse persists, and its re-energization therefore takes place after an interval independent of the reenergization of the relay A, i.e. independent of the duration of the line impulse. In a modified arrangement, the transformer T is dispensed with, the magnet D being directly open-circuited by the de-energization of the relay A, and re-energized a moment later by a relay put in circuit by the de-energization of the relay A.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Gravity-feed Devices for Boiler Feed-water.
Inventor: FOWLER WALTER
IPC: F22D5/10
Filed: 1915-10-15
Abstract: 4055. Fowler, W. Oct. 15. Feed-water, supplying and controlling.-In a gravity-feed device, the kind comprising separate floats contained in separate chambers and connected by a rotary lever such for example as described in Specification 29,744/96, the float chambers C, C<1> are arranged so that the lower ends are a little below the highest working level of the water in the boiler. By this arrangement the device stops and starts automatically preventing an over-supply of feed water. The chambers are supplied from a feed tank fitted with non-return valves, and the floats D, D<1> are connected through a rocking- beam F with a shuttle-valve G which controls the supply of steam from the boiler to either end of a piston-valve L. As shown, the parts are placed so that the shuttle-valve G allows steam to pass the right-hand side of the piston L, which is operated so that steam is admitted through the branch-pipe L<3> to the upper part of the cylinder C<1>. The pressure in this cylinder is thus equalized and the water is fed by gravity to the boiler. As the chamber C<1> is emptied, the chamber C is being filled until the shuttle valve is thrown over and the operations are reversed. To obviate the use of stuffing- boxes for the rods E, the beam F is mounted, in a modification, in a cylindrical plug-member which turns on a seating formed in a partition dividing the containing casing into separate float chambers.
