Title: Improvements in or relating to Piano-players Combined with Phonographs and the like.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
Filed: 1911-10-12
Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 22,528. Lake, W. E., [Aeolian Co.]. Oct. 12. Combined with phonographs &c.-In a combined player-piano and phonograph, the phonograph can be declutched from its own motor and driven by the motor of the player-piano. Means are provided for simultaneously stopping the phonograph motor. The phonograph is arranged inside the casing of the player-piano, the motor of which drives a spindle 1 through a chain and sprocket-wheels. The spindle 1 drives the player-piano winding-rolls and also a spindle 8 carrying a bevel-wheel 9. The bevel-wheel 9 gears with a bevel-wheel 10 on a vertical spindle 11, which carries a spur-wheel 14. The wormwheel 12<a> of the phonograph motor gears with a worm on a spindle 12 carrying pins 25. The pins 25 normally engage recesses 24 on a loose sleeve 21 carrying a spur-wheel 20. The sleeve 21 carries the table 22 and record 23. The spur-wheel 20 rests upon antifriction bearings 19 on a rotatable toothed boss 18, which engages a fixed toothed boss 16. With the parts in the position shown in Fig. 5, the phonograph is driven by its own motor, but on operation of a handle arranged on the lock-rail, a movement is transmitted through a system of levers and links and a vertical spindle 29 to the arm 26 on the boss 18. The boss 18 is thus rotated and is raised by the cam action of the teeth, so raising the sleeve 21 until the pins 25 are disengaged from the recesses 24 and the spurwheel 20 gears with the spur-wheel 14. The phonograph is then declutched from its own motor and driven from the motor of the playerpiano through the vertical spindle 11. At the same time the brake or stop-lever 37 of the phonograph motor is actuated through a pivoted lever 39, rod 40 and the arm 42 on the spindle 29. A notch is formed in the piano string-plate 'above the turning - pins to accommodate the table 22.

Granted: 1912-10-31
Abstract: 26,480. Carslake, J. B., and Gibson, A. H., (Executors of Hipkins, W. E.), and Goulding, H. W. Nov. 27. Testing chains &c.-In testing-apparatus for chains &c., described in connexion with machines of the steelyard type, the applied stress is increased gradually by means of belt-driven or other gearing until a predetermined maximum is reached, whereupon the steelyard effects electrical connexions which actuate the belt-shifting gear and prevent any further increase in the applied stress. The gripping- means f, f<1>, to which the chain is secured, are connected respectively to the cranked main lever a and thence to the steelyard c and to a screwed rod engaged by the threaded boss of a wormwheel g. The predetermined maximum load, to which the particular specimen is to be tested, having been arranged on the steelvard, a stress is applied to the chain by belt-driven means through the worm h, worm-wheel g, and the screwed rod supporting the member f<1>. When the applied stress equals the maximum load, the steelyard rises and terminals s' are connected through a contact t. A circuit containing a solenoid q is thereupon energized, and a lever p, which normally retains in the operative position a lever m controlling the belt-shifting gear, is tripped. The circuit may he manually or antomatically broken,

Patent GB-191204724-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Weight-indicating Weighing Apparatus.
Inventor: BENTON WILLIAM ALFRED
Filed: 1912-02-26
Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 4724. Benton, W. A. Feb. 26. Loose-weight apparatus.-Relates to a balance of the kind in which the major portion of the load is balanced by standard weights and the fractional portion by a spring or pendulum balance. According to the present invention, mechanism is provided for first roughly weighing the load to determine the standard weights required, and thereafter, by hand or foot operated mechanism to bring the selected weights and the fractional weighing - mechanism into operation. The pan c is supported on one end of a beam d, which is utilized to determine the complete units of weight, for example pounds, before the mechanism for determining the fractions of a pound is thrown into operation. The depression of the beam is transmitted by a rod d<8> to a rocking drum g which carries an indicating - segment g<4> and is controlled by a spring g<7>. A toothed segment g<2> carrying a spring-retracted stop g<9> also moves with the drum g and positions the stop according to the weight of the goods behind one of a series of co-axial bent levers h each of which when actuated by the subsequent depression of the stop g<9> as hereafter described is adapted to raise one of a corresponding series of vertical rods j. The rods are provided with projecting pins j<3>, and in their upward movement, the pins disengage one or more catches k and raise corresponding spring-pressed levers i bearing weights f<2>, f<5>. In this manner, the particular rod operated selects and raises one or more of the weights f<2> . . . ./' so as to leave behind on a shackle f those weights representing the number of complete pounds in the goods being weighed. The accurate weight is obtained by operating a hand-lever, which rotates a shaft x<2> and causes (1) a tooth l<3> to engage and lock the segment g<2>, (2) a plate n to depress the stop g<9> and select the correct weights f<2> &c., and (3) an arm m to raise one end of the beam d, and, by lowering the other end of the beam. transfer the load to a weigh-beam e. The weights f<2> &c. not previously removed then balance the complete pounds, the fractions of a pound being balanced by a spring connected to the pan by an extension c<8> and a quadrant on an axis o<4>. An additional quadrant on the axis o<4> rotates a drum s<2> and operates the fraction - indicating pointers s. To prevent fraudulent use of the apparatus, a.shutter may be arranged to cover the indicating-segment g<4> until the weighing is complete, and automatically to close again if the load is reduced below that of the selected standard weights.

Abstract: 23,745. Wante, L. De Wolf-. Oct. 17. Retting.-In a process for opening up, separating, and softening lignified or bast fibres in the raw, spun, or woven state, such as jute, hemp, flax, coco-nut fibre, and like fibres obtained by steeping or retting, the fibres are treated in a caustic oxidizing-bath containing a minimum of 9 per cent. by weight of caustic soda, or the equivalent of caustic potash, and a compound of oxygen and another element or other elements capable of being easily decomposed and acting as an oxidizing-agent in an alkaline solution, such as hypochlorite, permanganate, peroxide, per-carbonate, per-sulphate, perborate, or other per-salt of an alkali, or such a compound as hydrogen peroxide. To the caustic oxidizing-bath may be added soap, Turkey-red oil, or similar products which have the effect of assisting the penetration of the fibres. The fibres may be first treated with a dilute alkaline oxidizing-bath with or without the addition of Turkey-red oil &c., and, after the caustic oxidizing-bath, the material may be treated with an emulsion of soap, Turkeyred oil, or like material employed in textile finishing processes, and an oxidizing-agent, with or without an oil, fat or fatty acid, such as castor oil, cotton-seed oil, olive oil, or the like, a soft paraffin, or a fatty acid such as oleic, palmitic, stearic, ricinoleic, or the like, and if necessary, a halogen substitution product of a hydrocarbon such as carbon tetrachloride, to aid in the retention of the fat in the form of an emulsion.
