Abstract: 579. Tuck, W. B. Jan. 9. Spinning - tackle. - Relates to spinning - bait constructed so as to obviate twisting action on the fishing-line by the opposing action of right and left handed spinners, three forms being described. The body a, Fig. 1, weighted at the bottom, is fixed on a rod b, to the end b<1> of which the line is attached. A head - piece c carrying hooks e is adapted to be rotated on the rod b by means of vanes d, while a tailpiece f, also mounted on the rod b, rotates in the opposite direction under the action of reversely-set vanes g. Hooks j are attached to the end b<2> of the rod b or to the tail-piece f. The hooks e may be attached to the body a instead of to the head-piece c. In the bait shown in Fig. 2, the body k is that of a real fish, which is weighted at k<1> and is impaled on a rod l. Hollow head and tail pieces n, o carrying vanes n<1>, o<1> rotate in opposite directions. In order to allow the body k to be placed in position, the rod l is formed in two parts screwing together at l<1>, a plate m<1> being removable. Hooks p' are secured to a plate m, and hooks p to the tail-piece o. The hooks p may alternatively be attached to the rod l, in which case the rod l is divided immediately in front of the plate m', which is then a fixture on the after part of the rod. Fig. 3 shows an artificial bait in which the body is formed of two parts q, r provided with reversely-set rotating-vanes q<1>, r<1> respectively.

Filed: 1909-05-12
Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 11,304. Zweigbergk, T. von. May 12. Cut-out arrangements.-To ensure the action of a circuit-breaker in a series arrangement of hightension direct-current motors, a shunt circuit to the motors extends from the motor side of the circuit-breaker to points over the several commutators of the motors, so that, when a flash takes place between one set of motor brushes, this circuit is completed and the circuit-breaker operated. The commutators A', A<2>, A<3>, A<4> of the motors are connected in series to the trolly-wire B through a circuit-breaker C. A shunt circuit containing a resistance E is connected to a point between the circuit-breaker C and the commutators, and extends to points D', D<2>, D<3>, D<4> placed over the commutators of the motors. If one of the motors should fail, the flash between its brushes over the commutator completes the shunt circuit, and the circuit-breaker C is operated.

Granted: 1910-09-23
Abstract: 21,720. Bowley, A. S. Sept. 23. Punctures, apparatus for closing. - In a method of repairing pneumatic tyre covers the injured part is cut away by a rotary tool which forms a conical recess with stepped or ribbed sides. A plug of corresponding form is cut from an old cover, or a strip of manifold canvas, or is built up of superposed disks or gradually-decreasing diameter, and is secured in the recess by usual methods. The tyre cover is held between an apertured plate c, Fig. 1, and a bed b. The plate is hinged at one side to a verticallyadjustable block e, and at the other side is notched to engage a pivoted rod d<2> fitted with a nut e<2>. The bed consists of a bundle of rods which are fitted when loose to the contour of the cover and then clamped in a belt b<1>. The rotary tool g, shaped in profile like a saucer, cuts away the fabric layers in disks of decreasing diameter. Fig. 3 shows a rotary tool which cuts a plug to correspond, as shown in Fig. 4. The bed-plate f can be oscillated about the pivot i<3> to elongate the recess circumferentially, and by loosening the nuts i<5> a transverse oscillation can be obtained. Hand-tools for forming the sides of the recess with ribs or flutings can be used. Figs. 8 and 9 show the formation of staggered series of teeth on a file for that purpose. Figs. 10 and 11 show a tool formed of strips of hacksaw riveted together with teeth alternately on opposite sides. Fig. 7 shows a tool for cutting a recess with a notched or toothed side. Fig. 5 shows a tool which forms a recess with undercut circular ledges, and is used for repairing the rubber part of the cover. The plastic filling- piece is represented by j, Fig. 6.

A dropping-device 15 is used to throw off superfluous articles from the cylinder 13. In order to deal with articles of different diameters, the rollers 4, 5 of the upper band 6 are mounted on articulated lever arms which can be deflected in a corresponding ratio by a hand-lever guided in, and capable of being locked to, a graduated arc. The bearings of the band rollers 2, 3, 4, 5 are adjustable so that the bands 6, 7 may be tightened. The machine is preferably provided with a gauge 34 for determining the diameters of the articles.

Inventor: BREITHART HANS
IPC: G01N25/54
Filed: 1910-08-12
Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 19,008. Breitbart, H. Aug. 12. Explosive gases, detecting and testing.-In ascertaining the proportion of ignitable admixture in air, the mixture is rendered ignitable by,introducing a known proportion of an easily - vaporizing liquid - fuel. The apparatus shown comprises a doublewalled cylinder a having a piston c with a piston-rod d screwing through a nut formed in a cross-arm k secured to the cylinder by screws m. The liquid fuel is contained in a vessel t communicating with a measuring-glass u opening into the air-inlet e. On loosening the arm k and lifting the piston, air and vaporized liquid fuel are drawn into the cylinder. Platinum wires i in a fire-clay fitting h are then heated. If the mixture does not explode, the cross-arm k is secured, and the piston screwed down to compress the mixture. If an explosion occurs, a spring-pressed plunger o rings a bell and allows the gases to escape through a safety device q having ribbed plates. If no explosion occurs, the plunger o is lifted by a stop n on the bottom of the cylinder, to allow the gases to escape.
