Title: Improvements in and relating to Pumping Systems.
Inventor: ROSENCRANS HERMAN FRANCIS
Filed: 1913-02-10
Granted: 1913-12-11
Abstract: 3453. Rosencrans, H. F. Feb. 10. Regulating delivery by by-passes.- Relates to automatic and electrically-operated means for operating a valve in a bypass, in connexion with a pump, for the purpose of maintaining the pressure in water mains between certain predetermined limits, and further relates to means for altering these limits, for example in the event of fire. The pump 11, Fig. 1, draws from a supply pipe 10 and supplies to the mains 14 preferably through a surge tank 13 ; but when the pressure in the tank rises above or falls below certain limits, the by-pass valve 19 is automatically opened or closed respectively, and in the former case the pump simply forces water through the by-pass. Solenoids 27, 28, working in conjunction with a dash-pot 29, are used for operating the valve 19 and one or the other of these is energized by the throwing over of a switch 35, in circuit with a transformer 41, by the energizing of one of two solenoids 31, 32, also in circuit with the transformer 41, and with a switch 75, which is operated by changes of pressure in the tank 13. The switch-arm 75 is connected by gearing to the end of a Bourdon tube 52, which communicates through a pipe 51 with the tank 13, and thus, when certain superior or inferior limits of pressure are reached, contact is made with the terminal 67 or 66 respectively. The terminals 66, 67 are connected to metallic insulated rings 62, 63, Fig. 3, which may be rotated when it is desired to alter the pressure limits, and for this purpose a portion of the casing, Fig. 3, may be mounted on ball bearings 57 in the fixed member 48, and a sprocket-wheel 89, attached to the movable member, is rotated by the closing of a switch 106, when an alarm of fire is given. The closing of the switch 106 energizes a solenoid 92 working with a dash-pot 94, and at the same time a signal is conveyed to the pumping-station that more pumps may be required. Fig. 7 shows an alternative form in which a pressure cylinder 120 and piston 122 replace the Bourdon tube. The piston-rod carries collars 125, 126 for making and breaking the circuits of the solenoids 31, 32. A spring 129, against which the piston acts, is shortened and therefore strengthened by the energizing of an adjustable solenoid 132 through the closing of a switch 106 when an alarm of fire is given. A pilot light 109 in the pumping-station is simultaneously lighted. The limits of the domestic pressure may be adjusted by sliding the collars 125, 126 upon the piston-rod, or by altering the position of screws 142, and the fire pressure by means of the screws 142 or by raising or lowering the solenoid 132.

Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 5468. Fievet, E. June 27, 1912, [Convention date]. Carding-engines.-In a machine for carding tow, the longer fibres in the waste which falls from the machine are separated from the dust, dirt, &c. and are collected or are returned to the carding-cylinders. The tow is fed to the cylinder 2, Fig. 1, and is acted upon by carding-rollers on the underneath of the cylinder. The waste which falls from the rollers is guided by plates &c. 3, 4, 14, 19 on to shaking-grids 5, 15. The dust &c. falls through the grids, and the longer fibres are passed on to the receptacle 7, from which they are taken up by the toothed cylinder 8 and returned to the rollers 9, 10. If it is not desired to return the longer fibres to the carding-cylinder, the receptacle 7 is done away with and the cylinder 8 has a smooth surface. The waste may fall directly on to the grids, which may feed the longer fibres (1) directly to a pair of rollers delivering them to an upper cylinder which transmits them to the carding-cylinder, or (2) to a receptacle from which they are removed by two rollers, which transmit them to another roller and thus to the large cylinder.

Abstract: 10,299. Wade, H., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. May 1. Sewing r i b s , f o r m i n g .-The turned-up flap of a sole or insole, and particularly the s i n g l e - l i p p e d "Economy" insole described in Specification 673/00, or the double-lipped type described in Specification 25,730/06, is elongated at its upper margin with relation to its base, to give it a permanent upright set. This elongation is produced by crimping or corrugating the flap D, as shown in Figs. 1 and 7, so that the length of the edge of the flap is greater than the length of its base. Figs. 5, 7, 9, and 12 illustrate a machine for moulding and stretching the flap of an insole of the double-lipped type. The unchannelled face of the insole is engaged by a bulged roll 1, which forces the lip and flap into operative position, as shown in Fig. 9. This roll is rotatably mounted on an adjustable stud carried by a pivoted arm 5, which is acted upon by a tension device to hold the roll 1 pressed against the insole. The feeding- devices comprise a toothed roll 13, Fig. 9, for engaging the channel, and a frusto-conical serrated roll 14 for engaging the feather. The roll 13 is provided with a shank 15, which is shrunk into a holder 16 secured to a shaft 18 journaled in bearings in a pivoted arm 19 ; the roll 14 is provided with a threaded shank which engages a holder 22 on a second shaft 23 journaled in the head of the machine. The two shafts are geared together and driven by a belt pulley 27 so that the wheels 13, 14 run at the same peripheral speed. The crimping or corrugating devices comprise intermeshing toothed rolls 29, 30 formed respectively on the holders 16, 22. The teeth 31 on the roll 30 have a uniform thickness throughout their length and are slightly rounded at their juncture with the roll 14 ; the teeth 32, Fig. 12, on the roll 14 are reversely curved at their juncture with the roll 13, and are longitudinally wedge-shaped, so that, as the insole is fed through the machine, the fibres of the flap are pushed in the direction of the height of the flap and consolidated at its base. The flap and lip are raised by two adjustable ploughs 33, 34, which are curved so as to lie closely adjacent to their respective rolls 29, 30, and in addition presser-feet 42, 43 are provided to grip the opposite sides of the blank in advance of the rolls 29, 30 to ensure the proper presentation of the work. A vertical plate is provided at the rear of the rolls to engage the unchannelled face of the insole so as to hold the insole straight as it is fed from the machine. Treadleoperated means are provided for separating the various tools to allow the insole to be readily inserted in or withdrawn from the machine.
