Granted: 1914-08-07
Abstract: 18,122. Western Electric Co., [Woodward, F. T.]. Aug. 8. Variable-speed toothed gearing. - In a telephone selector in which the wipers are driven at high and low speeds, the speed - changing device 41 comprises an auxiliary shaft 52 carrying a gear 51, which meshes with a gear on the shaft 29. The shaft 52 also carries a gear 54 meshing with a gear 55, which carries a pawl 58 engaging a ratchet 59 fast on the shaft 57. A sleeve, siding on but rotating with the shaft 57, carries at one end a disk 61 forming the armature of a magnet 68, and at the other end a clutch-member adapted, when the magnet 68 is energized, to engage a corresponding clutchmember on the shaft 29. Thus, when the magnet 68 is energized, the shaft 57 is driven at high speed direct from the shaft 29, but when the magnet 68 is de-energized, the shaft 57 is driven at low speed through the reducing- gearing 51, 52, 54, 55. A disk 39 fixed to the shaft 29 is connected by a spring to an arm 40, which co-operates with the armature of the stop magnet 43 to stop the rotation of the shaft when - the magnet is de-energized, but permits a slight overrun by the disk 39 due to the extension of the spring, which will, however, be corrected by the contraction of the spring. A pawl cooperates with a notch in the disk to prevent any possibility of the disk moving too far in the reverse direction.

Title: Apparatus for Treating Solid Bearing Solutions.
Inventor: TRENT LAMARTINE CAVAIGNAC
IPC: C22B11/08
Filed: 1913-10-28
Granted: 1914-12-24
Abstract: 24,413. Trent, L. C. Oct. 28. Lixiviating.-Relates to apparatus f o r settling, decanting, and dissolving cyanide slimes or other solidbearing liquids, the solid particles settling below a rising column of liquid meeting them within the receiving- vessel, the entire body of the liquid being maintained in a condition of gentle agitation throughout the settling- operation. The slimes &c. are fed into a diffuser comprising a perforated cylinder 6, closed at the bottom by a conical plate 7, so that they pass gently into the receiver 1. In the bottom of the receiver is an agitator 15, which is rotated by the discharge of liquid through inclined nozzles 16. Close to the agitator is a perforated suction pipe 8 leading to a suction box 10, from which the liquid is withdrawn by a pump 11 and introduced into the agitator through a pipe 23. The speed of introduction, and therefore the speed of rotation of the agitator, is controlled by a valve 24, and a pipe 25 allows any desired proportion of the liquid passing through the pump to be bypassed. Scrapers 17 carried by the arms of the agitator direct the settled solids to an orifice 18, through which they pass into a discharge pipe 19. Clear liquor overflows into a launder 4 and escapes through a pipe 5. A decanting pipe 29 hinged to an outlet pipe 30 enables the clear liquor to be drawn off at any height, leaving the slimes thickened to the proper consistency for delivery to filters or filter-presses. A series of cocks 22 arranged at different heights enable the barrenness or degree of impregnation of the solution to be tested. Fresh solution, or wash-water for removing the last traces of solution from the slimes, may be introduced to the pump, and thence into the agitator and receiver, through a pipe 27.

Title: Automatic Stopping Devices for Lace Looms.
Inventor: THOMAS THOMPSON
IPC: D03D49/58
Filed: 1914-02-03
Abstract: 2857. Thompson, T. Feb. 12, 1913, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Lace machines.-Relates to electrical stop mechanism applicable to the "Lever's" and "gothrough" types of machines and operative upon the accidental disengagement of the catch-bars from the carriages. The elbows 2, 2<1> which carry the catch-bars 6 have, attached near the outer ends 4, flexible springs 16, 17 the upper ends of which when uncontrolled bear against plates 12, 12<1>, but which in the normal working of the machine are held down by the catch-bars so as not to touch the plates. These plates are carried upon angular supports which ara secured to the horizontal member 1 so as to be insulated therefrom. The ends of the springs 16, 17 are retained in position by plates 19, 19<1> which are insulated from the plates 12, 12<1>. During the normal working of the machine, the frame &c. is on open circuit, but should the catch-bar assume an abnormal position, the circuit is completed and the belt is shifted to the loose pulley as described below. The shifting movement breaks the circuit in another place. Should the operator attempt to start the machine again while the catch-bar is still out of place, the circuit will again be completed and the release of the belt-shifting spring will prevent the belt from being shifted on to the fast pulley. The beltshifting mechanism comprises a shipper bar 55' carrying a belt fork 53 to the rear of which is an arm 57 adapted to be actuated by a collar 58 on a bar 56. The bar 56 is held against the pull of a spring 59, while the machine is running, by a trip lever 66, 67 the lower end of which is bevelled to engage the similarly bevelled end of a lever 61, which is held in a vertical position by a catch 40 engaging the end 64. The catch 40 projects through a casing 36 containing electro-magnets 38, 39 to the armature of which the catch 40 is pivoted. When the circuit is completed, the magnets are energized, the levers 61, 66 and spring 59 are released, and the belt is shifted to the loose pulley. In the case of an electrically-driven machine, the energizing of the magnets releases a weighted plunger the descent of which knocks out fuses forming part of the supply line between the feed station and the motor.

Title: Apparatus for Issuing Tickets and Registering the Value of the Tickets Issued.
Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
Filed: 1914-03-17
Granted: 1914-12-31
Abstract: 6796. Haddan, R., [National Cash Register Co.]. March 17. Feeding and registering webs.-In a ticketissuing machine, one or more tickets are delivered from a roll of perforated strip, the number issued is indicated, and the value registered, at a single operation of the handle. The number of tickets required is set on a keyboard 1 which, together with the operating- mechanism, is of the type described in Specification 9400/97. The number issued at any one time is indicated on a drum 36, and the total value of tickets issued is registered on a counter 77<a>. The ticket strip passes from a roll 85 and between two angular die-plates 39, 40 and the feed-rolls 13, 16 to the knife 22, which co-operates with a fixed knife 23 and is raised and lowered by cam-mechanism. When a key is depressed and the main shaft 4 rotated, the differentially-moved sector 9 is first moved backwards and then forwards to the new position as determined by the key depressed. The rotary movements are transmitted to the feed-rolls 13, 16, and in order that they may not feed the strip backwards during their negative rotations, cam-mechanism on the shaft 3 is employed to raise the upper roll 16. To ensure severance of the strip along the line of perforations each time, the strip is automatically positioned by the die-plates 39, 40 so that exactly two tickets lengths are between the point 37 and the knives. To this end, the dieplates 39 are adjustably mounted on a plate 43, Fig. 8, guided on a plate 41, which carries the die-plate 40 and is pivoted on a stud 47. The plate 43 is supported by a lever 49 controlled by a cam 54, and the arrangement is such that, after each feed, the die-plate 39 descends and, in conjunction with the other die-plate, finds the line of least resistance to the bending, namely the perforations. A camcontrolled arm 55 then rises, and a guideway 56 on it co-operates with a pin on the lower end of the plate 41 and so correctly positions this plate and therefore the strip. To provide for the unwinding of a certain amount of the strip before the feed-rollers commence to draw, a roller 66 on a cam-oscillated lever engages the strip and unwinds it from the roll 85 while the strip is held by the die-plates.

Title: Improvements in Dynamo Electric Machines particularly applicable for Engine Starting Systems.
Inventor: KETTERING CHARLES FRANKLIN
Filed: 1913-07-14
Granted: 1915-05-27
Abstract: 13,022. Kettering, C. F., and Chryst, W. A. July 14, 1913, [Convention date]. Turning-gear.-The dynamo-electric machine of an engine starter is controlled by means of a commutator brush operated by the member which controls the gearing between the engine and the machine. The machine runs as a shunt motor, or a series motor with a resistance in circuit until the gears enmesh, after which it runs as a normal series motor. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the dynamo-electric machine is provided with two field and armature windings 76, 95, the circuits of which are controlled by a pivoted brush-arm 63 operated by a rod 67, which also controls one of two sets of gearing between the machine and engine. The brush-arm 63 is carried by a sleeve 102, Figs. 6 and 7, provided with a lever 63<b>, the outer end of which carries a roller 64. The sleeve 102 is mounted on a shaft 101 between collars 103, 103<a>, and the brush-arm 63 is operated on by a spring 105 and prevented from movement towards the commutator by means of a bell-crank lever 65, Fig. 4, the position of which is controlled by the rod 67. To start the engine, a cut-out 54, Fig. 3, between the machine and battery 34 is rendered inoperative by causing the engagement of two contacts 71, 72, when the machine will run as a shunt motor. The rod 67 is then operated by pedal-gear to cause the enmeshment of the gearing between the machine and engine, when a further operation of the rod 67 causes the brusharm 63 to break contact with a contact 80 and the brush 62 to engage the commutator 93, when the machine will run as a series motor to start the engine. In the modification shown in Figs. 11, 12, and 14, the machine is caused to run as a series motor with a resistance 141 in series with it until the gears are enmeshed, after which the resistance is short-circuited. In this arrangement, the brush-holder is made in two parts 139, 140, pressed apart by a spring 145 and connected through a resistance 141, Fig. 14, or connected through a resistance spring 141<a>, Fig. 12. The machine runs as a shunt-wound dynamo when the part 139 engages the plate 80, while upon the operation of the rod 67<a>, the part 139 leaves the plate 80, and the brush 62 on the part 140 engages the commutator. A further movement of the rod 67<a> causes the resistance 141 to be shortcircuited by the compression of the spring 145. Specification 3655/13, which describes an enginestarting system, is referred to.
