Title: An Improved Method of and Apparatus for Automatically Making Soldered Cord or Twisted Chains.
Inventor: BRUCKMANN LUDWIG
Filed: 1908-01-07
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 1908424. Bruckmann, L. Jan. 7. Making chains.-In a machine for making from wire chains, having the appearance of rope, coils are first made and cut off and held by pincers ; they are then seized by a second pair of pincers and turned through 180 degrees, and then seized by a third set of pincers moving vertically upwards ; the vertical pincers then descend and engage the link with the next one formed, the links finally being lifted to the soldering means. Each lower link is engaged with the last but one coil of the finished chain. Fig. 10 shows the various stages. The wire a is wound on a mandrel 3, and the foremost coil is gripped by pincers 5 and cut off by cam-operated shears 4. The pincers 5 then convey it to the second pincers 12, which are turned through 180 degrees by a camoperated rack and pinion 24, 25. The third pair of pincers 29 now grip the coil and lift it vertically, these pincers being operated by cams on a shaft 31. The pincers 5 have meanwhile seized another coil, and the pincers 29 turn somewhat and descend, this engaging the two links as shown in Fig. 12. The combined link is then seized again by the second pincers 12, which lifts it to electrical or other soldering means, the pincer carriage 23 being pivoted above pins 48 for this purpose. The finished chain is then engaged by pincers 62, 63, Fig. 7, also operated from the shaft 31, the arm 63 engaging the last and the arm 62 the penultimate link. The movement of these pincers is such that the newly-formed lower coil b hooks into the chain already formed.

Title: An Improved Luffing Gear for Cranes.
Inventor: WYLIE HAMILTON NEIL
Filed: 1908-11-28
Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 25,712. Wylie, H. N. Nov. 28. cranes.-Relates to jib cranes in which the length of the jib is at least two and a half times the height of the crane-post, and comprises means for ensuring horizontal traverse of the load. Fig. 1 is a diagram. matic view of a crane constructed according to the invention. The jib B is pivoted to the crane post at O, and its outer end is supported by an arrangement of ropes shown diagrammatically in Fig. 5. One end of the hoisting-rope H is secured to the jib head as shown in Fig. 4, the arrangement ensuring that the pull of the load always passes through the axis of the jib pulley P. The hoisting- rope passes around the load pulley R, the jib pulley P, a pulley F and one of the pulleys M down to the jib pivot and the hoisting-drum S. The luffing- line L is fastened to the pulley F, and passes around another of the pulleys M to the pivot 0 and the luffing-drum D. A line Q is attached to a pulley N, and passes around the pulleys M, N and is secured to' the pulley F. The arrangement of ropes is such that the pull in the tension member always bears the same ratio to the weight of the load (three in this case) as the ratio of the length of the jib to the height of the crane post. The pulley N is connected to the crane post by a rope which passes over a rigid curve E constructed so that the resultant force on the jib passes through the jib pivot. Hence, no work is done when the jib is luffed, and the load therefore travels in an horizontal line. The movement of the jib about the pivot is balanced by a constant pull in the luffing-line, effected by a counterweight C. A geometric method of constructing the curve E is described in the Specification.

Filed: 1909-03-03
Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 5168. Crompton & Co., Macfarlane, J. C., and Burge, H. March 3. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power.-Electric motors supplied with current on the Ward-Leonard system have additional fieldwindings to increase the regenerated current as the armatures slow down. The dynamo of the motor-generator also has a safety series winding in opposition to the shunt winding. The fields F are connected so as to assist the fields H of the motor armatures C, D, except when the motors are running full speed as motors, in which case they divide between them the voltage of the line plus an equal voltage added by the dynamo B. When the motors are acting as generators, the potential difference across the fields F increases, and their strength increases, reaching a maximum when the motors are at rest. The dynamo B has a series winding G in opposition to the variable shunt winding K, thus limiting the arnount of current that can be drawn off if the resistance is cut out of the motor circuit too rapidly.

Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 8872. Pollen, A. H., [Mergenthaler Setzmaschinen-Fabrik Ges.]. April 14. Assembling matrices; magazines. - Relates to machines employing bars bearing several formative cavities (or type-dies), in which the bars are provided with rigid suspension hooks for suspension from wires on which the bars are guided to the assembling point, the hooks being constructed to permit the bars to have a movement on the wires equal to the distance between the characters on the bars. The wires at the assembling-point are arranged in four parallel rows, and the distance between any two superposed wires is equal to the length of a hook. Figs. 1 and 2 show two different ways of arranging the wires a, b. When the wires are attached at their rear ends to the supporting-frame in the usual manner, the wires of adjacent inner and outer rows cross one another, and at this point either one of the wires is bent to provide the necessary distance between the wires. The wires may be arranged so that no crossing takes places. The rows of wires may be attached to a bar at the assembling-point at four groups of points, but a narrower bar may be employed when the outer wires are bent inwards for attachment, as shown in Fig. 7. The requisite spacing of the wires at the points of crossing may be obtained by securing the rear ends of the wires at different levels. Fig. 8 shows the wires secured to a toothed rear frame member d by means of clamps g. The bars which travel on the outer wires have bent hooks requiring a wide path of travel, and to avoid fouling of the various bars, a greater space is arranged between adjacent wires at the rear of the place of assemblage.
