Abstract: 9062. Clamp, R. H. April 14. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Cylinder offset machines.-An offset press for printing on paper, stone, wood, metal, rubber, &c. comprises a cylinder B, of which the bearings C<1> slide on squared side rods F<1>, and are adapted to be reciprocated over an adjustable bed P by screws J connected by chain gear O and driven by gearing M, N. The cylinder B carries two helical gear-wheels H, which gear with corresponding racks F<3> secured to the frame A. The bed is made in two parts P, P<1>, the latter of which is formed with inclined grooves R to engage a series of ball bearings P<2> located in grooves in brackets Q, Q'. The bed P is moved longitudinally to adjust the height by a cam S on a shaft T, which can be turned by means of a hand-lever T<1>, the position of which may be determined by a pawl T<5> and a ratchet-wheel T‹. In normal operation the press bed is lowered automatically as the cylinder reaches the limits of its stroke. On the shaft T is a crank T<2> connected by a rod T<3> with a crank T<4> at the opposite end of the machine. On the completion of the motion of the cylinder B to the left a stop U on the carriage engages the crank T<@> and rocks the cam S to lower the bed. On the return movement, the stop U engages the crank T<4> and raises the bed. If an impression is to be made as the roller moves in both directions, the stop U is raised out of action. To prevent an impression from being made from the printing-plate on to the back of the sheet of paper, the plate is covered by an apron of gelatine, mica, or celluloid attached to endless bands Z, carried by pulleys Z<4>, and actuated intermittently by gearing Z', Z'‹, from a shaft e. The shaft e is turned by a chain a, projecting lugs on which are engaged by a pivoted finger on the carriage E.

Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 20,245. Falding, F. J., and Cathcart, W. R. May 7. Ammonium salts and iron oxides are obtained in purifying coal gas by scrubbing with a solution of an iron salt, such as pickle liquor, and oxidizing to precipitate the iron. The gas may be given a preliminary washing with liquor containing iron oxides, such as those obtained in the main washing in order to remove cvanogen, sulphur, and chlorine compounds. When only a small proportion of sulphur is present, the preliminary washing may be dispensed with. The course of the gas through scrubbers A, A<1>, A<2> is indicated by the line g. Iron salt solution is fed to the scrubber A<2>, whence it passes to a tank C where the ferrous hydrate settles, the liquor passing to the scrubber A' and then to tank D where air is injected to cause the separation of all the iron as ferric hydrate which is separated from ,the ammonium sulphate liquor in a filter press E. The ammonium salt is crystallized and dried in an apparatus indicated at F, while the ferric hydrate is washed with water in a tank G and collected in a filter H, the washings being led to a tank J, which also receives iron hydrate by one of the paths m, n, o to make a liquor for feeding the scrubber A.

Title: Improvements in Rotary or Flat Bar Knitting Machinery.
IPC: D04B11/18
Filed: 1910-09-13
Granted: 1911-06-29
Abstract: 21,340. Cotton, Ltd., W., and Aldridge, C. H. Sept. 13. Straight-bar machines. -Relates to improvements in jacquard mechanism for controlling the production of lacework and embroidery in rotary machines of the ' Cotton ' and other types. The card cylinder C is mounted upon an axis parallel to the cam-shaft of the machine, and acts upon one or more sets of droppers to control both the selecting and the transfer movements of the lace points, carrier needles, &c. Two rows of droppers E<2> project up through two slots in a bed B<1>, in which two slides B<2>, B<3> are free to move, after each selection, until directly arrested by abutting on the droppers. This effects the required selection. The transfer movement is imparted after the lace points have removed their loops, and is effected by levers F<2>, F<3>, the acting ends of which project through the bed B<1>. Each lever carries a truck F', F<5>, which rests on the opposed stepped surfaces G<4> of a pair of levers G, G<1> mounted side by side. By moving the requisite levers G, G', the levers F<2>, F' and the slides B<2>, B<3> may be shogged up or down through one needle space. The slides B2, B3 are drawn apart by a system of cam-controlled levers and links at each selection of droppers. The movement of the transfer levers G, G<1> is controlled by special droppers K<5> , which, when selected, lift up the ends K<3> of bell-cranks K pivoted from the ends of the levers G, G'. When the bell-cranks K thus move off the actuating cam levers K<2>, into the dotted line position, the corresponding levers F<2>, F<3> remain enacted upon. The number of dips per course of the narrowing-machine is controlled by a special dropper M<5>, which causes the cam-shaft shogging-truck to be held in or out of the path of the shogging-cam independently of the usual peg - wheel mechanism. Another dropper N automatically stops the jacquard mechanism when the design is completed &c., by releasing catches which hold the card-cylinder lifting-arm and the connecting-rod by which the slides B<2>, B<3> are drawn apart, out of engagement with their respective actuating-cams.

Title: Improvements in the Starting and Speed Regulation of Polyphase Electric Motors.
IPC: H02K27/12
Filed: 1910-11-08
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 25,964. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens-Schuckertwerke]. Nov. 8. Alternating - current commutator and induction machines. - The starting and speed-regulation of polyphase motors, in which the rotor is supplied with current either through a commutator directly attached to the rotor or through a commutator frequency - changer, is effected by the use of a transformer t, Fig. 2, having a primary winding p connected to the mains, and two secondary windings r, s carrying the rotor and stator currents respectively. The numbers of turns in the windings r, s may be chosen so that their ampere-turns exactly compensate each other, e.g. when the numbers of turns are in the same proportion as in the motor windings. By adjusting the number of turns in the winding p, the strength of the motor field can be altered,'the sum of the stator and rotor applied voltages remaining constant. To correct for the phase-displacement of the currents in the windings r, s when the commutator brushes are displaced, one of the windings may be connected in star and the other in mesh, or other arrangements may be adopted. The winding p may be indirectly connected to the mains through an auxiliary transformer, or through other machines. In a modification, in addition to the field variation obtained by regulating the winding p, the voltage impressed upon the rotor winding may be varied by connecting, in series with the winding r, the secondary winding of a subsidiary transformer fed from the line; or both the field and impressed voltage may be varied by altering simultaneously the numbers of turns of the windings p, r, or p, s, or in all three windings.
