Patent GB-191103246-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Flanging Can Bodies.
Inventor: KRUMMEL LOUIS CHARLES
IPC: B21D51/26
Filed: 1911-02-08
Granted: 1911-11-16
Abstract: 3246. Krummel, L. C. Feb. 8. Stamping.-A machine for flanging can-bodies has a number of pairs of reciprocating die-heads mounted on a rotating carrier, and means for feeding a blank to each head in turn. A preliminary curl is preferably made upon the edges of the blanks in a first carrier 7, and the blanks are then fed to a second carrier 8, rotating in the opposite direction, where the flanges are completed. The carriers have interchangeable arc-shaped work-supports 47 carried by recessed plates 56, Fig. 2, secured to adjustable sleeves 19, 23 splined to the shafts 7, 8. The die-heads 15, Fig. 5, are carried on sliding bars 16 mounted in slots in supports 17 and are operated by fixed cams 30. The cams have projecting arms 32 with bolts 34, slidably fixed in the frame to enable the sleeves and cams to be adjusted together. Detachable rings 36 are carried by the dies to hold hardened rings 38 in position; the rings 38 coact with spring-mounted dies 39 to form the flange. The can bodies are fed down a shoot 51, Fig. 2, provided with an adjustable guard-plate 53; when a recess in the upper plates 56 registers with the shoot, a can body is fed on to the support. A second guard plate 58 carries the blanks to the bottom position and an ejector 59 throws them to the position shown in dotted lines, ready to be fed to the lower recessed plates. A guard 62 then holds the bodies in position until the dies come into position and an ejector 67 finally deposits them on to a run-way 64.

Title: Improvements in Handles for Chip and the like Baskets.
Inventor: DARLINGTON WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: A47J45/06
Filed: 1911-04-01
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 8202. Darlington, W. E. April 1. Handles.- Sheetmetal handles for chip or like baskets are strengthened by means of a strip 2 of chip, cardboard, sheet metal, or other material, which is secured by folding the longitudinal edges 3 The strip may be arranged intermediate of the ends, or it may extend the whole length of the handle. The ends of the handles have perforations 5 arranged in the bend to increase their pliability. The invention is applicable to handles of the kind described in Specification 23,485/10.
Patent GB-191111111-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Photometers.
IPC: G01J1/36
Filed: 1911-05-08
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 11,111. Kummerer, W., and Ges. fur Elektrotechnische Industrie. May 8. Comparison photometers.-Relates to instruments of the type in which rays of light from two sources 1, 2 are thrown alternately on a selenium or like cell 5 by the rotation of a mirror 3, the cell being connected to a source of direct current 8. The alternations of illumination cause a pulsating direct current to pass, and the invention chiefly consists in eliminating the constant part of this current before commutating the remainder and passing it through a suitable measuring-instrument 12. The pulsating current is passed through the primary 9 of a transformer, the secondary 10 of which is connected through the commutator 11, fixed to the spindle carrying the mirror 3, to the measuring-instrument 12. This may be an ordinary moving-coil instrument, and the mean position of the needle depends on the difference between the intensities of illumination at the mirror 3 due to the sources 1, 2. If desired a source 13 of direct current may be included in the secondary circuit. Other means, for instance, a condenser in parallel with an ohmic or inductive resistance, may be employed for eliminating the constant part of the current. The instrument is stated to be applicable to various purposes, for example for measuring the transparency of photographic plates, the plate being interposed between one of the sources of illumination and the mirror 3.

Patent GB-191116737-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the Compensation of Polyphase Commutating Dynamo-electric Machines.
IPC: H02K27/12
Filed: 1911-07-20
Granted: 1912-10-21
Abstract: 16,737. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Allgemeine Elektricitats-Ges.]. July 20. Alternating-current commutator machines.- Relates to polyphase commutator machines, the speed of which is regulated, and the phase-compensation of which is effected, by supplying to the rotor a variable voltage derived from the stator windings. The invention consists (a) in arranging the stator windings so that they form a polygon at the star-connexion, the number of sides of this polygon being twice the number of the stator' phases; and (b) in the provision of auxiliary windings branching from the stator phase windings and having their axes inclined thereto. The stator windings are also prolonged beyond the ' star-point,' whereby two commutator brushes may be employed per phase. Fig. 1 shows one modification in which the stator windings Sa, Sb, Sc are concatenated in a hexagon, the windings forming the sides of the latter being extended co-axially with the main windings. The main and auxiliary windings have tappings which are led to a switching- device. Two brushes a a<1>, b b<1>, c c' are employed in each phase, and are connected in succession with the tappings indicated by the same reference letters as the brushes, the tappings 1a-1a<1>, 2a-2a<1>, 3a-3a<1>, &c. being used below synchronism, and the tappings 4a-4a<1> &c. over synchronism. The points of concatenation of the windings forming the hexagon may be shifted along the stator phases. Fig. 7 shows diagrammatically a modification in which the main stator windings Sa, Sb, Sc are connected to the star-point O through auxiliary windings d, e, f having inclined axes, and other winding- sections are branched off from stator tappings, the brushes being connected to these tappings in the manner above referred to. These methods may be used in combination. The main stator windings may be directly connected together at the star-point, and auxiliary sections may branch off from the intermediate tappings. Specifications 24,581/08, 10,913/10, and 26,685/10, are referred to.

Abstract: 18,587. Lake, W. E., [Cottrell & Sons Co., C. B.]. March 14. Tripping-arrangements.-The plate cylinders of a multicolour press, such as that described in Specification 17,687 / 11, are fitted with means for adjusting vertically the positions of each cylinder relatively to the impression cylinder, adjustable wedge members being employed for limiting the inward movement of each bearing. The shafts 4 of each plate cylinder are mounted in bearings 144 capable of sliding vertically in boxes which are fitted with springs 147 tending to raise the cylinders. The cylinders are normally kept in the required position relatively to the impression cylinder by the engagement of the bearings 144 with wedges 148 adjustably connected by screws 149 to the boxes in which the bearings are mounted. The cylinders are moved into and out of printing position by screws 154 which act on bearing-plates 156 on the bearings 144, and are rotated by worm gearing actuated by hand-crank 157. The screw 154 engages a threaded surface on a fixed cap 155, and the gear that rotates it is splined to its shaft to permit of the movement of the screw.
