Granted: 1911-10-23
Abstract: 20,167. Bennion, C., Bates, A., Gouldbourn, J., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Oct. 21, 1910. Gearing for stopping and starting machinery. -In double - headed machines used in the manufacture of boots and shoes, the driving- mechanism of each head is operated through a corresponding clutch connected with a common driving-pulley. Means are preferably provided for preventing both clutches from being simultaneously operated. The invention is shown embodied in an open-ended cutting-out press of the one-revolution type. The driving of each platen A<1> is effected through an eccentric A<4> on a shaft B, which is coupled for one revolution to a pulley B<2>, the clutching being effected by the operation from a treadle-rod F of a wedge-shaped clutch-controlling lever E<3>. When the driving - shaft is unclutched, it is brought to rest by a flexible band brake D, one end of which is connected through an oscillating yoke D<4> to a frame D' carried by a rock-shaft D<9> operated by the platen plunger. In starting the machine, the treadle-operated mechanism serves to rock the yoke D<4> to release the brake. Means for preventing both clutches from being simultaneously operated comprises a lever G provided with spring-controlled pivoted abutments G<1> adapted to be engaged by collars G<2> on the treadle-rods F. When the machine is started and the yoke D<4> rocked to release the brake, an inclined rib D' on the yoke swings the abutment G<1> into position to be engaged by the collar G<2> on the rising rod F, which thereby raises that end of the lever G. The lever G, being thus locked from reverse movement, serves to prevent the second clutch from being similarly operated should its treadle be depressed. Should the first treadle remain depressed unnecessarily, the lever G is released automatically by an abutment D<8> on the frame D', which frees the abutment G<1> from the collar G<2>, whereupon, owing to the descent of the platen, this frame is rocked upwards. In the Provisional Specification, further description is given of the clutches employed, each of which may be a friction clutch of the expanding-ring type operated by a double - threaded screw actuated by a spring-controlled bolt adapted to be withdrawn by the clutch-controlling lever.

Abstract: 12,770. Matthews, F. E., Strange, E. H., and Bliss, H. J. W. May 30. Nitric esters of glycols; olefines; olefine oxides; chlor-, brom-, and iod-hydrins; glycols. -Nitric esters of glycols, which have explosive properties, are produced by the nitration of glycols having their hydroxyl groups attached to adjacent carbon atoms, or of the corresponding oxides. The glycols may be prepared by first producing an olefine by dehydrating the higher alcohols, for example by the action of phosphoric acid on their vapours, or by halogenating a paraffin and then removing halogen acid, and then oxidizing the olefine by means of permanganate, or by first forming the chlor-, brom-, or iod-hydrin and converting this into the glycol either directly or through the oxide. Glycols can also be prepared by heating the corresponding halides with water, alkalis, carbonates, silver acetate, &c., and also from ketones and aldehydes bv reduction with sodium or aluminium amalgams or by condensation. When the olefines obtained as above described are strongly heated, or when they are produced by dehydration at a high temperature the double bond in some cases changes its position. Trimethylethylene can in this way be obtained either from isopropylethylene or from primary isoamyl alcohol, using phosphoric acid as a catalyst during the heating process. In an example 2:3-butylene glycol and its oxide are prepared from s-dimethylethylene which is itself prepared by passing n-butylalcohol over heated phosphoric acid. According to the Provisional Specification 1:2-propylene glycol can also be prepared from propyl or isopropyl alcohol. The glycol nitrates produced can be mixed with nitroglycerine, nitrocellulose, &c., and either with or without these admixtures can also be mixed with non-explosive substances such as kieselguhr or sawdust. Specifications 4099/11, 22,795/11, and 3873/12 are referred to.

Abstract: 17,666. Carlstedt, R. May 14, [Convention date]. Races, indicating and recording apparatus for.-In apparatus for electrically timing and recording the finish of races &c., wherein the starting pistol or flag is provided with contacts which are closed by the starter to set stopwatches in motion, the act of cocking the pistol or grasping the flag handle closes contacts for a lamp circuit to show if the main circuit is free from faults. The watches are stopped by closing other circuits which may also contain cameras for taking photographs of the finish and of the watches. When.the starting-pistol 11 is cocked, a pin 15 engages a spring 14 and so completes a circuit including the electromagnets 5, 6 for operating the stop-watches 1, 2 and the lamps 17, 18, 19 which show if the apparatus is in order. Owing to the resistance of the lamp circuit, the electro-magnets 5, 6 are not able to operate the watches. When the pistol is fired, contact is made at 12 and the lamps are short-circuited so that the watches are operated. The contact at 12 is maintained until the trigger is released by the starter, thus ensuring sufficient time for complete operation of the watches. The judges at the finishing-point depress keys 24, 25 so causing the watches to stop and also opening the shutters of cameras 20, 21. The cameras may have two object lenses to produce a record of the finish and of the stopwatch simultaneously and side by side. If a starting-flag is used, circuit is closed at 30, by the grip, and at 32 by the dropping of the flag. The latter contact is made by a weighted spring 35 which, when brought into connexion with the contact 32, is held by the electro-magnet 31 so that the circuit through the electro-magnets 5, 6 is not broken until the grip is relaxed.
