Abstract: 10,649. Boult, A. J., [Deutsche Waffen und Munitionsfabriken]. May 4. Automatic-feed weighers.-Relates to an automatic weighing - machine of the kind wherein the bulk of the charge is supplied to the weigh pan by a movable measure and the weight is completed by a vibrating feed. The invention consists in deflecting the latter feed from the weigh-pan on the completion of the weight, without stopping the vibratory movement of the feed-device. As applied to a machine for simultaneously weighing out a number of charges of powder for cartridges, the powder is fed into recesses C<1> in a cylinder C which rotates automatically and empties the powder down pipes D into weigh-pans E. The weights are then completed from trays H vibrated by means of toothed wheels K and spring-pressed hammers J so that the powder passes down pipes N into the weigh-pans. When equilibrium is reached channels P supported by the weigh-pans come beneath the pipes N and deflect the powder down pipes R. Mechanically-operated levers S are now raised and open hinged flaps E' on the weigh-pans. The powder is discharged down passages T and at a later period is supplied to the cartridge cases. The teeth on the wheels K are interrupted over a portion of the circumference so as to stop the vibration of the trays M during the discharge of the weigh-pans.

Granted: 1913-08-13
Abstract: 18,605. Hoe & Co., R., [Hoe & Co., R.]. Aug. 13. Set-off, preventing.-To prevent set-off from printed sheets during delivery, they are caused to be wound up in a roll of absorbent material, successive sheets being speeded up after being cut from a web so as to cause the sheets to be spaced apart in the roll, and means are provided for gathering and delivering the sheets from the wound-up roll and rewinding the web, the winding-up and unwinding taking place in the same machine either simultaneously or alternately. As shown in Fig. 1, the two operations are performed simultaneously. The set-off web W is unwound from a roll 3 and passes over a guide roll 11 and guide 12 to a spindle with circular bearers 10, which at the commencement of winding co-operate with winding rolls 4, 5, driven from a shaft 9. The printed sheets severed from a web 13 by cutting-devices 14 are forwarded by guides 15 to belts 16, 17 driven at a faster speed than the web 13, so that the sheets are spaced apart at suitable intervals as they are interposed between the convolutions of the roll. When the roll is completely wound up, it is taken from its support and placed in contact with unwinding rolls 21, 22, driven also from the shaft 9, and a gathering and delivery mechanism co-operates with the roll as it is unwound to separate the sheets simultaneously with the winding of a fresh roll with interposed sheets on the winding rolls 4, 5. As the web is unwound by the rolls 21, 22, the printed sheets are directed by guides 46, 47 to a cam-operated stop 48, which evens the sheets before they are taken by grippers 44 on a gathering-cylinder 43 co-operating with smoothing-tapes 45. From the cylinder 43, the sheets are delivered by an ordinary flat delivery mechanism, such as a reciprocating carriage 53 with sheet supports 54 to a delivery table 59, which is lowered by chains 60 and can be removed by a truck. The web W is directed by rolls 41, 42 to re-winding rolls 32 sup. ported by a carriage 37 which can be moved on rails 38 to remove the wound roll. The spindles of the various winding and unwinding rolls are mounted in hooked bearings 35 guided by brackets 36, 39, 40. In a modification, the sheets are delivered, in a similar manner to that described, to a roll which, when wound up, is turned end for end and unwound by the same rollers employed to wind it up. The set-off web is given a different course during unwinding but delivers the printed sheets to a gathering- cylinder similar to 43, from which the sheets are delivered by an oscillating fly of known kind The web is rewound by the rolls used to unwind it.

Abstract: 25,418. Whitehead, H. F. C. Nov. 6. [Cognate Application, 28,891/12.] Recording movements of trains. - In speed recorders for trains and the like, the length of the rails is used as a unit of distance and the shocks due to the passage over the junctions of the rails or past points situated at uniform distances apart are utilized to operate a marking-device in conjunction with a clock-driven record strip, the recording point being returned to its initial position at the end of a given period. A spring- depressed plunger a, carried by a casing e, is mounted to bear on the strap c of a carriage spring d, on an axle-box, a foot-plate of the locomotive, the edge of a wheel, or the like. Adapted to bear on the top of the plunger is a spring member o carried by a lever m, to which is connected by a link l a weighted lever j. The arrangement is such that contacts h, i carried by the levers are not closed by slow movements of the strap c but by quick movements due to passage over rail junctions &c. Closure of the contacts h, i energizes a magnet 24, the armature of which is constituted by a bell-crank lever 22 bearing a pawl 25 adapted to rotate a wheel 21. Mounted on the shaft of the wheel 21 is a pinion 11 adapted to raise a rack 9 carried in a tube 10 pivoted at 13, the rack being kept in engagement with the driving- pinion by a spring 15. Connexion between the rack and pinion is broken and the rack allowed to descend to the starting point at definite intervals when a magnet 28 is energized by a time switch r to attract the tube. The record sheet is drawn from a reel q over the clock-driven record drum p by a reel w, which is driven from the record drum by a spiral-spring belt u. The operation of the device may also be effected by a wheel which is carried by the locomotive and moves on a special rail. Motion may be communicated directly by a Bowden wire or pneumatically, and the record sheet may be driven by the train and the pencil by the clock. Two or more separate appliances may be mounted on the train or may be controlled from one switch h, i. One of the recording-devices may be operated from the piston-rod and another from the train, thus recording the slip in the wheels. The apparatus may be made in portable form and carried on a telescopic rod so that it can be applied by hand from the train. It is stated that the apparatus indicates when passage occurs over points or over rails of different length.
