Abstract: 28,657. Furnival, H., Furnival, S., and Furnival, F. S. Dec. 8. Tripping-arrangements; inking-apparatus. - A rotary machine of the kind in which the impression cylinder is automatically tripped at every alternate revolution is provided with a pedaloperated tripping-device which trips the inking- apparatus simultaneously with the impression cylinder. The impression cylinder A is mounted in eccentric bearings D, which are normally rotated on alternate revolutions of the cylinder by a rod N actuated by levers on a shaft ; this is oscillated by a cam-actuated lever having a pivoted catch which is disengaged from the shaft when a trip lever C is actuated to trip the cylinder permanently. The lever C operates the eccentric bearings to trip the cylinder A, and simultaneously a frame M carrying the inking-rollers is moved away from the printing-cylinder A'. The frame M forms a toggle with a lever L, which is operated to trip the frame M by a lever l pivoted to a lever K on a shaft e, the lever K being actuated when a cam-disk G, loose on the shaft e, is moved by lever mechanism H, h, h<1> operated by the lever C. The disk G permits spring-controlled pawls F on the lever K to engage projections e<1> on a lever E, which is oscillated by cam mechanism, and is normally free on the shaft e. When the disk G is moved, the shaft e is oscillated, and the frame M moved from the cylinder A' by the mechanism described above. The disk G may be operated by a hand-lever to trip the inking- mechanism.

Abstract: 7521. Waddell, W. F. March 26. Mop-wringers; brushes combined with mopwringers.-An appliance for scrubbing, washing, and drying floors &c. comprises a brush mounted between extension of the side walls of a chamber, which receives the drying-cloth during the brushing operation. Fig. 1 shows one construction of appliance comprising a brush 3 carried by extensions of a polygonal chamber 1 through which passes a spindle 6 having the drying-cloth attached to one end. To dry the scrubbed floor, the brush is inverted and the spindle depressed to push the cloth out of the chamber. The spindle may be universally jointed and also provided with spiral and straight grooves engaged by a fixed pin to twist the cloth automatically for wringing purposes when moving into the chamber. The chamber may also be provided with one or more longitudinal screw-operated press plates to squeeze and thus dry the cloth. In a modified form, the cloth is mounted between a fixed crosshead on the wings carrying the brush and a movable cross-head on the spindle. By twisting the spindle, the cloth is wrung; and by moving the cross-head together, the cloth is bunched-up to form an absorbent drying-pad. The projections 26 move the cloth along the floor.

Homopolar or acyclic machines.-In a homopolar machine having a multipolar magnet wheel D rotating within two sets of wound armature projections C which are joined at intervals by magnetic bridges 0, the voltages of collinear coils H are made to add by connecting the inside end of one coil with the outside end of the adjoining coil by a conductor which passes out through the space between two of the bridges O. The magnet, which has north poles only at one end and south poles at the other, may carry two rotating coils M, secured to it by a brass carrier L having a central ventilation space K, or the carrier may be.stationarily secured to the armature frame by having its flanges prolonged radially and attached to the armature at O. In another form, the magnet coils are wound on the poles E, alternate poles on each side only being wound, so that a wound pole on one side is opposite to an unwound pole on the other. V-shaped recesses, bushed with brass, may be made inside the armature projections E to assist in dividing the flux, and the armature, in place of having wound projections may be continuously wound over its surface. Thin steel may be placed between the field and armature projections to prevent the windings H from becoming displaced. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 14,232/90, 25,350/07, and 2959/09.

Abstract: 3101. Churchill, J. R. Feb. 7. Composite springs; connexions and attachments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs.-Relates to shackles for the laminated springs of vehicles, and consists in two pivotally connected members, capable of relative movements against the action of a volute or helical spring, one member being pivoted to the frame, and the other to one end of the laminated spring. In the form shown in Fig. I, the laminated spring is connected by a pin 4 to the link 2, which is pivoted at 3 to a bracket 1 hinged at 1<b> to the chassis. A rod 6, pivoted at 5 to the link 2, passes through a hole 1<c> in the bracket 1, and carries at its free end nuts 8, between which and the part 1<d> of the bracket 1 is a stressed volute spring 9. The provision of the pivoted link 2 causes the range of movement of the pin 4 to be greater than the consequent range of extension or compression of the spring 9. In one modification, a rubber washer is interposed between the spring 9 and the nut 8; in another, the spring 9 is enclosed in a casing having a removable cover; in a third, an auxiliary spring 9<a>, Fig. VIII, is employed in opposition to the spring 9.

If the transparency is on glass, the glass replaces one of the plates Y. An additional frame, Fig. 9, which enables the attachment to be used for printing, is fitted with a ground glass k and a ruby slide r. The guides a are cut partly away at the top g, which forms a recess, and when the ruby slide r is raised springs s hold it in the recessed part g. The lower guide b is sloped to pressed the ruby slide r against the ground glass k. The frame fits on to the attachment when the door B is open, and converts the attachment into a printing lamp and by means of the ruby slide into a safe lamp. The printing - frame is supported edgeways on the door B.

Inventor: LOUIS CLAUDE
IPC: B62D25/18
Filed: 1911-03-18
Granted: 1912-03-18
Abstract: 6819. Louis, C. March 18. Mud-guards for motor-vehicles are formed of inner and outer side-plates o, p, and a circumferential plate q, which carries sockets y to fit upon studs d carried by the body or chassis of the vehicle or by a plate or bracket a secured thereto by bolts b and nuts c or other means. The outer plate p may be integral with the plate q, the outer flange w being then dispensed with, or the plate p may be a separate member held in position against the flange by the nuts f which secure the guard to the studs d. The sockets y are preferably made from metal plates riveted together at y<1> and to the circumferential plate at y<2>. For securing the guard to the running-board or like part k, its front end is beaded or formed into a hook-like part n to engage a corresponding socket w upon the board. The rear end of the guard is provided with a flap 1, which may be secured in position by a clamping-plate or by the insertion of a rod or bead 2 into a tube or clip z; the bead may be stiffened by a wire, and the flap is preferably stiffened by ribs of india-rubber or by whalebone or a steel or other spring. In order to accommodate a spare wheel or similar part, the guard may be displaced outwards upon the studs d, collars or sleeves 4, Fig. 5, being introduced between the inner flange v and the plate o; one or more long screws i are passed through sockets y and holes in the plate o to engage screwthreaded holes in the bracket a, or one or more pins with nuts at their outer ends may be introduced into the sockets y to bear upon the ends of the studs d, the pins being held in position by springs connected to the flange v or plate o. For additional security the collars are provided with one or two buckle straps 5 to engage slots 7, u in the circumferential and inner plate respectively. In applying the invention to a front wheel, the guard extends below the running-board, a part, such as n, being secured to the circumferential plate. The inner plate is preferably formed in two parts, the upper part extending inwards towards the central plane of the vehicle. To prevent waste of material, the flanges @ may be made with ears or projections and preferably by forming two strips as counterparts one of the other by cutting between them, so that the projections or ears on one part are formed in the spaces of the other. The ears or projections are then bent at right-angles to form the flanges.
