Granted: 1912-04-11
Abstract: 12,460. Davies, C. W. T. July 1, 1910, [Convention date]. Button-holes.-Button or stud holes are made with a device for locking the shank of the button in position after it has been passed in through the open end of the hole. In one form as applied to a cuff, the cuff is made in two pieces 1, 2, Figs. 1 and 2, which are overlapped a little, as shown in Fig. 1, and sewn together along the lines 3.

Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 16,680. Rose, H., and Rose Bros. July 20. Packeting by wrapping-up.-In machines for wrapping caramels &c. in which the articles are forced, with the wrapping-paper, into recesses in a mould-wheel, the movable sides of the recess are opened and closed by the improved means hreinafter described. The caramel &c. 44, Fig. 2, is forced, with the wrapper 1, into a recess 20 in the mould-wheel 19, folding the wrapper round the sides of the caramel. The projecting part 63, Fig. 6, of the wrapper is folded back by a fixed plate 43 on the rotation of the wheel. A blade 64, Figs. 2 and 6, acts through a gap in the plate 43 to fold-in the end 63 of the wrapper. The side 66 of the recess is hinged at 67 and is held to grip the caramel by a spring 68. A three-armed lever 80, 84, 85 carrying rollers 79, 82, 83 is actuated by a cam 81 to depress projections 86 on extensions 87 nf the movable sides of the recesses, and to open them at the proper times for the insertion of the caramel. and for the folding-down, by the blade 64, of the flap 63. While the folding is in progress, the caramel is held in position by a spring-urged block 70 which advances with the slide 64. Movable folders 88 and fixed blades 96, 97 fold the ends of the package, the final fold being made by stationary folders 100, 101 in the delivery trough 98, into which the package is forced by an ejector 99. A spring- pressed stud in a bearing 103 retains each .ejector in the advanced position until it again reaches the initial position opposite the plunger 53.

Abstract: 18,920. Alexander, A. E., [Anderson Winding Machine Co.]. Dec. 6, 1910. Winding-machines.-Spindles or mandrels for winding coils, particularly coils for electro-magnets and the fields of dynamos and motors, are formed with grooves running parallel to the direction of rotation and offset from each other lengthways of the mandrel ; the invention is particularly applicable to the collapsible mandrels described in Specification 18,919/11. The guide may consist of a number of curved plates 121, Fig. 1, adapted to be laid on the mandrel for making around winding. The grooves in the plates c, d being offset by half a groove from those on the plates a, b. In a modification, the grooves are joined together by inclined grooves 125, Fig. 2. With a mandrel for forming polysided coils, the angles only need be provided with grooves, which are preferably formed on pins 127, Fig. 7, fitting into longitudinal recesses. The pins maybe secured in position by devices entering recesses in the ends of the filler-blocks 92 and pins 127, or by flat strips of metal entering longitudinal grooves in the blocks and pins and set at right-angles to each other. In a modification, projections 106<a> are secured to the mandrel flush against the end plate 100<a> and having a depth equal to'the diameter of the wire and a thickness equal to half this diameter. The first turn of wire acts as a guide for the succeeding turns. Instead of using a rigid guide as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, thick paper wrapped round the shell of a coil may be used. Specification 28,330/10 is also referred to.

Abstract: 12,780. Chapsal, F. J., and Saillot, A. L. E. June 13, 1911, [Convention date]. Fluid - pressure. -An accelerator for compressed-air brakes is constructed to isolate the train-pipe from the branch pipe leading to the distributor during the braking action, and to provide a local venting of the train-pipe and of the branch pipe. The apparatus also serves to accelerate the release of the brakes by supplying the distributor with air from a special reservoir, which in the case of the Chapsal and Saillot brake may be the reservoir-regulator described in Specification 29,120/04. The apparatus is connected to the train-pipe at 19, to the distributor at 18, and to the special reservoir at 14, and comprises diaphragms or pistons 5, 6 separating compartments 2, 2<1> and 3, 3<1> respectively and operating valves 9, 10, 16. The compartments 2, 3 are connected directly to the train-pipe 19, and the compartments 2<1>, 3' are connected together by passages 24, 25 which communicate with the train-pipe only through a loaded valve 22, which opens for charging the apparatus. The valve 10 is fitted with a spring to maintain the valve closed at maximum trainpipe pressure, and controls the communication to a chamber 4, open at 26 to the atmosphere. When a reduction in train-pipe pressure is made, the diaphragms descend so as to open the valves 10, 16 to vent the train-pipe and distributor branch respectively, the train-pipe remaining isolated by the valve 22. When the pressure in the compartments below the diaphragms becomes greater than that above, the valves 10, 16 are closed. When the train-pipe is charged for releasing the brakes, the diaphragm 5 moves upwards so as to open the valve 9, whereupon air flows from the special reservoir, past a non- return valve 12 and the valve 9 to the distributor, until the pressure in the compartments 2<1>, 3<1> becomes equal to that in the recharged train-pipe.
