Title: Improvements in Motor Ploughs.
Inventor: HACKNEY LESLIE SYLVESTER
IPC: A01B63/06
Filed: 1912-01-05
Granted: 1912-11-21
Abstract: 425. Hackney, L. S. Jan. 5. Ploughs.-In a motor plough, means are provided for adjustably and detachably connecting the plough beams to the frame, for raising the ploughs by hand and power, releasing them, and controlling their descent, for limiting their working depth, and for yieldingly holding them in position. The plough beams are detachably connected to a diagonal bar 15, Fig. 1, by the engagement of cross-pins in vertical grooves in brackets. Forked arms on a shaft 27 engage the pins so as to move them in the grooves, and thus adjust or disconnect the front ends of the beams 17, when the shaft 27 is rocked by means of worm gearing and a hand-wheel 30. The ploughs may be raised by moving a hand-lever 43, Fig. 7, and thus partly rotating a ropedrum by means of a rod 42, pawl 41, and ratchet-wheel 39. A rope wound on the drum passes round a drum 37 on a shaft 32 provided with drums 33, on which are wound ropes 34 connected to the ploughs. A dog 44 prevents opposite rotation of the drum. The ploughs may be raised by power by clutching the ropedrum to the driving-shaft 14 by means of a pedal 52, a rod 51, an arm 50, a cam, and a spring-controlled clutch. In the highest position, a plough beam engages a bell-crank lever 56 and thus disengages the clutch. The ploughs are lowered by means of a pedal 60, a slight movement of which disengages the dog 44 from the ratchet-wheel 39, while a further movement forces a brake shoe 62 into contact with a drum attached to the rope-drum. The downward movement of the ploughs is limited by a rope connected to the frame by a spring and wound on a drum 65 on the shaft 32, a clamp on the rope coming into engagement with an adjustable stop. The ploughs are yieldingly held in their operative positions by springs 77 which tend to rotate shafts 74 provided with arms 71 connected to the beams by links 72 which are provided with stops 75 to engage the arms 71. The springs are adjustably connected to arms on a shaft 80 which is adapted to be rocked by means of a lever 83.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Drying Machines for Coated Webs of Material.
Inventor: HOPKINS HENRY SHANNON
IPC: D21F5/00

Granted: 1913-07-01
Abstract: 15,308. Hopkins, H. S. July 1. Drying fabries and materials in long lengths. -Paper or cloth which has been subjected to colouring, top sizing, gumming, printing, or other surface finishing or preparatory process, is dried while passing flat on a conveyer through a chamber, by an air blast which, with auxiliary means, ensures that the edges do not curl. The web 2 is carried on a conveyer 11 through a series of compartments into which the drier is divided; the conveyer, comprising transverse rods 13 moving on angle-irons 14, passes through slots 15 in the partitions. Air forced through a heater 17 passes into the last compartment round the edges of the material below the top run of the belt, whence it is exhausted by a fan 22 and passed through a conduit 24 to the upper part of the next compartment, and so on. The strength of the blast in any compartment can be adjusted by altering the speed of the fans, which are driven through, cone pulleys and belts; its composition is adjusted by the addition of dry hot air passed in by pipes 34, 35 led from the heater, or of steam led through a pipe 37. The passage of air downwards in each compartment is adjusted by slidable or other members 26. Moist air is exhausted through dampers 240. The under edges of a coated web, which retain some coating, may assist in keeping the web flat by their temporary adhesion to fibrous strips 40. Fig. 5, on the screen 39 of the conveyer belt. Fig. 9 shows a modification wherein the spread of the air blast is adjusted by hinged fins 41. The top of the casing is formed with hinged sectional covers 44, 45, whereby air is exhausted; the covers, when opened, are out of the way of the driving- belts.

Title: Improvements in Devices for Electrically Operating Tramway and like Points.
Inventor: DAVIDSON GEORGE
IPC: B61L11/00
Filed: 1912-11-14
Granted: 1913-07-24
Abstract: 26,145. Davidson, G. Nov. 14. Electrically operated from vehicle.-The track points of electric tramways &c. are connected to, and operated by, a pivoted polarized armature suspended between two stationary electromagnets, the .electro-magnets being automatically energized on the passage of a vehicle. In the construction shown, the armature 3 is pivotally supported at 5 and connected to the point tongue 9 so as to have a certain amount of free movement. The coils of the armature 3 and electro-magnets 2, 4 are connected up to two similar sets of contacts supported on a convenient post or wire so as to be automatically engaged by conducting-parts 11, 20 on the trolly poles of passing vehicles. One set of contacts is placed at a suitable distance from the points in each direction. If the hand-operated switch 23 of a car approaching the points is closed, the coils are energized by currents passing in the direction shown by the arrows. The points are then operated, and upon the pole leaving the contacts, the armature 3 moves back to its vertical position, leaving the points in their new position. When the car reaches the second set of contacts, the points are again reversed owing to the current now passing in the reverse direction through the coil of the pivoted armature.

Granted: 1913-07-17
Abstract: 27,075. Morin, A. A. E. Nov. 28, 1911, [Convention date]. Plug cocks.-Relates to plug cocks of the type in which the opening is effected by an axial displacement followed by a rotational movement, and consists of means, in connexion with cocks having two faces controlling inlet and outlet openings, for obtaining a helical displacement between the two movements referred to above so that a sufficient flow is established to produce equilibrium at the valve faces prior to the rotary movement. In one arrangement, Figs. 1 and 2, the spindle 6<c> is formed with grooves a, a' engaging rollers b, b<1> fixedly mounted in the cover 12. In the opening operation, when the nut 16 is rotated by the wheel 18, the spindle 6<c> and the attached valve faces 4, 5 are lifted and moved axially until the rollers b, b<1> reach the inclined parts of the grooves a, a<1> whereupon the spindle and valve faces move helically. The spindle 6<c> having now reached the bottom of the tapped recess in the nut 16 the spindle and nut are wedged and rotate together, and with them the valve faces, whereby the valve can be fully opened. In another arrangement, the mechanism is arranged outside the valve casing, the inclined grooves and rollers are replaced by inclined parts on a regulating - sector secured to the valve spindle and engaging fixed projections from the casing, and the spindle and nut are positively engaged together for the final rotary opening movement by spring-pressed bolts mounted in the regulating-sector. As shown in Fig. 4, the valve inlet i is of less width and area than the valve outlet i<1>, the bearing-surfaces j, j<1> on the inlet valve member 5 are made wider than those on the outlet member 4 so that the outlet valve member opens earlier than the inlet, and to facilitate the discharge in the initial stages of the opening, the valve casing is formed with a groove k<1> near the seating of the outlet member 4. The spindle 6<c> is provided with a side bearing on the side remote from the inlet to take the strain due to the difference of fluid pressure on the two sides of the valve. Actuating.-According to the Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), the plug cock is arranged to be operated alternatively by a piston under hydraulic pressure supplied through a separate conduit and controlled from a distance. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 30,062. Stevenson, J. H. Dec. 31. Neck-tie retainers.-Neck-ties, of the type in which a separate band is adapted to pass around the collar, have this band h, Fig. 1, made of elastic material and provided at its ends with adjustable clips g formed with hooks f to engage with elongated loops i, Fig. 2, which are threaded and positioned on the tie when this is being made up. The clips g enable the effective length of the band h to be adjusted. The hooks f are first used to locate the band, by engaging them with the edges e of the outer fold of the collar. When the loops i of the tie are engaged with the hooks, the hooks are disengaged from the edges of the collar, and, by the elasticity of the band, are then drawn under the outer fold. Each loop i is formed with a kink k<2> in one side, to protect the tie fabric from friction with the hook. To prevent the loops from pulling out those parts of the tie by which they are carried, an ordinary pin may be suitably inserted in the back, or an ornamental pin in the front, of the tie.
