Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Making Electric Incandescent Lamp Bases.
IPC: H01J9/30
Filed: 1912-06-12
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 13,788. British Thomson-Houston Co., [Allgemeine Elektricitõts Ges.]. June 12. Caps, making. In apparatus such as that described in Specification 12,739/02, for making bayonet or screw caps with a glass filling, contacts are now supplied to the moulds from a tube, automatically. A tube 5 contains one or more piles of contacts threaded upon wires 8 extending nearly to the bottom. These piles stand upon a cut-away plate 9, which, together with a partition 6 for dividing the piles of contacts, is shown in Fig. 3. The bottom contact or pair is withdrawn by needles 4, with which the movable bottom of each mould is provided, when such a mould on a rotary arm I arrives below the tube 5; this operation may occur while the mould is at rest or in motion. Several tubes 5 full of contacts are carried by star-arms on a standard 11, around which they can be turned to bring a fresh full tube into operative position.

Abstract: 14,832. Sturtevant, T. J. Oct. 31, 1911, [Convention date]. Roller-and-ring mills and apparatus. - In a mill of the kind described in Specification 24,093/08, in which the material is crushed on a revolving ring by rollers carried by the swinging end head of the casing, the crushing- roller 25 rotates on a shaft 23 carried by a lever 22, which is pivoted at its lower end to the end head 19 and is drawn inwards at its upper end to force the roll towards the ring. Pivots 26 on the forked lower end of the lever engage in bearing-boxes 27 on the head, and a yoke or latch 33 pivoted to the end of a spring- pressed bolt 29 passing through a lug 30 on the casing 18 is adapted to engage the upper end of the lever. The latch 33 is fitted with an adjusting-screw 34 to abut against the end of the lever and a nut 35 is provided for regulating the tension of the springs 28. A swing- ing yoke on the casing has an adjusting-screw to engage a lug on the side of the door 19 opposite its hinge. To prevent the roll from dragging on the ring 16 when the head 19 is swung outwards, a spring 43 on the head presses a bolt 44 against the lever 22, the outward movement of the bolt being limited by a nut so as to be just sufficient to lift the roll clear of the ring. The driving-shaft 14 carrying the spider 15 and ring 16 is adjustable longitudinally by means of a screw 47, and the material is fed from a hopper 40 on the casing 18 through a spout 41 carried by the door 19.

Abstract: 1762. Brandwood, J., Brandwood, T., and Brandwood, E. Jan. 22. Passing fluids through materials.-Dyes are oxidized or fixed in fibres or yarns wound on cops, beams, &c. by permeating the substance of the dyed fibres with air by passing radially inwards, through the cops &c., air in such large quantity and under such high pressure that a substantial quantity of it is forced through the substance of the fibres. Cops E on perforated skewers D are mounted on a plate C on a foundation plate P under a bell chamber O connected to the hollow rod N of a piston K in a cylinder K<1>. Compressed air is admitted to either end of the cylinder by a valve M. When air is admitted above the piston, it passes down the rod N, through the valve Q, and through the fibres of the cops to the atmospheric opening H. When the cops are sufficiently permeated, the air is admitted below the piston K, which then lifts the bell 0 for the replacement of the cop plate C. The valve Q is then closed and the bell chamber 0 returned.
