Granted: 1911-12-19
Abstract: 29,504. Heathcote, H. L., and Rudge- Whitworth, Ltd. Dec. 19. Coating; cleaning.-Relates to processes, of the kind described in Specification 490/08, in which solutions of hydric phosphate or hydric phosphates of iron are used to produce a protective coating upon iron or steel, and consists in the employment of a neutralizing-agent, such as washing-soda, for wholly or partly neutralizing the small amount of free acid usually present in such solutions. Instead of washing-soda, potassium carbonate or hydrate, sodium hydrate, or other substance or mixture of substances capable of rapidly and completely neutralizing free phosphoric acid in solutions of hydric phosphate or hydric phosphates of iron, may be employed. The neutralizing-substance may be added in solid, molten, or dissolved form, and either occasionally, regularly, or continuously. The iron or steel articles, before treatment with the solution, may be freed from rust by immersion in acetic acid or acetic acid vapour.

Patent GB-191200065-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Loading Cartridges.
Inventor: WETZLER BERNHARD
IPC: F42B33/02
Filed: 1911-03-14
Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 65. Wetzler, B. March 14, 1911. Sorting by gauging.-Relates to apparatus for discharging, from cartridge - loading machines, cartridge cases the powder charge of which is incorrect. A spring-controlled tube 105 and a freely movable pin 106 mounted on a bridge 99 are lowered over the cartridge 51 while it stands on a block 83 pivoted at 84. If the load is correct, a collar 107 on the pin 106 bears against a projection 108 and holds a hook 111 out of action. If, however, the load is under or over the correct quantity, the collar 107 releases the hook 111, which is then free to engage with another hook 89. When the bridge 99 is next raised, the hook 89 also is raised, and shifts a spring slide 87, thereby releasing the block 83, which falls to the position shown in dotted lines. The cartridge case 51 drops into a funnel 121, Fig. 2, disposed under the machine, slides along a slot 126 in the slanting bottom of the funnel, discharges the powder into a receptacle 128, and finally falls into a receptacle 127. The block 83 is then returned to the normal position by a spring-controlled roller 113 on a bridge 114, 116 worked by a lever 117 and a cam 119. Meanwhile the hook 111 in rising has been deflected by a fixed cam 120 and has released the hook 89, which in its turn releases the slide 87 in readiness to hold the block 83 in position. A number of such devices are mounted on the several bridges in rows for dealing with a number of cartridges. Specification 64/12 and Specifications 6393/11, 66/12, and 67/12, [all in Class 9(i), Ammunition &c.], are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Revolution-direction Indicators for Machines.
Inventor: LANDI-NEE-RICCARDI LAURA
IPC: G01P13/04
Filed: 1913-01-15
Granted: 1913-06-05
Abstract: 1198. Landi, [nÚe Riccardi], L. May 15, 1912, [Convention date]. Revolution - direction i n d i c a t o r s . - Three electro-magnets are provided and are adapted when energized to control the positions of an indicating-pointer, the central position of which indicates that the machine or engine is at rest. A diagrammatic view of the apparatus is shown in Fig 1. A speed indicator is used in conjunction with the direction indicator, and when the pointer 37 thereof is in its zero position, a commutator disk 21<1> completes a circuit through an electro-magnet E, the armature of which is attracted so as to break a circuit through spring blades 34. When the shaft is rotating, the circuit is completed through the blades 34 and at the same time a shaft 40 connected to the s p e e d indicator rotates in the same direction on the shaft and completes a circuit by means of the knives 26 or 27 through either of the magnets E<11>, E<1>. Energizing the magnets E, E<1>, E<11> causes a lever 18 attached to the armatures to disengage the clutch members 3, and, through a lever 19, rocks a striker 16, which is adapted to engage a heart-cam 12 secured to the revolution-indicator spindle 4 in order to rotate the spindle and move the pointer into a position corresponding to the magnet energized. An insulating disk 7 rotates with the spindle 4 and a condncting-blade 8 thereon at a certain point leaves the corresponding circuit-brush 9 or 11 and breaks the circuit, thus allowing the armature and clutch member to rise to lock the pointer in the set position. The breaking nf the circuit is ensured by means of a wheel 14 and a spring detent 15 engaging therewith.

Granted: 1914-03-09
Abstract: 3325. Clark, C. H. Feb. 8. Movable-abutment type; balancing moving parts; valve-gear.-In a rotary engine of the Roots'-blower type comprising two intermeshing gear - wheels 10, 11 arranged in a casing 18 so as to have a substantial clearance on all sides of the teeth, the motive fluid is admitted through a port 15 between the line of centres of the wheels and the apex of a closely-fitting member 12 which is fitted with plates 14 adjoining the faces of the wheels. According to the invention, one of the plates 14 is made integral with the casing, while the other plate is adjustable by means of metal spacing-sheets placed between it and the member 12, which is non- adjustably secured to the casing. The motive fluid escapes from the edges 16, 17 of the member 12, which may be suitably shaped to reduce noise, into the casing 18, which may be fitted with an exhaust pipe 19. The plate 14 may be fitted with two members 12, 12<1>, having inlet and outlet ports 15, 15<1> interchangeable for reversing. The radial fluid thrust on the gear-wheels is balanced by arranging the edges 16, 17, 16', 17<1> of the members 12, 12<1> to fall within 90 degrees of the line joining the centres of the wheels. Auxiliary discharge passages 22, 22' may be formed in the members 12, 12'. Reversible compound engines are described in which the motive fluid is tapped at a number of points in each stage for use in a number of successive stages.

Abstract: 14,189. Berkel & Parnall's Slicing Machine Manufacturing Co., [U.S. Slicing Machine Co.]. June 19. Cutting slices in succession.-The rotary cutting- disk of a slicing-machine is supported at the upper end of a vertical casing which is adjustable by means of eccentrics relative to the machine frame, and the cutter shaft is eccentrically mounted in this casing. The chain-and-sprocket driving-mechanism for the knife 11 is enclosed in the casing 12, which is carried on a loose eccentric annulus 21 supported on segmental flanges 22 projecting from the frame 18. By rotating the annulas 21, the casing 12 is raised or lowered, and the casing and knife may be swung forward into the position shown in dotted lines to compensate for the wearing of the knife. The casing is held in adjusted position by bolts 19. In a modification, shown in section in Fig. 7, the lower sprocket shaft 25 carries a loose eccentric block 30 which bears within a circular portion 32 of the casing 12. The outer surface of the block has a series of holes 31 to receive an adjusting-tool. In another modification, Fig. 8, the bolts 33 securing the casing 12 to the frame are passed through holes bored eccentrically through blocks 34, so that the casing is adjusted by rotating the blocks.

Abstract: 14,589. Soc. Anon. J. Cockerill, and Ternstrom, E. May 14, [Convention date]. Rollers and rolling - appliances. - Rollers, wheels, or balls with elastic felloes are used in rolling devices interposed between two rolling tracks which are liable to be called upon to support a sudden extra load, to enable the rollers to take such a load without permanent deformation. Each roller has an elastic metal felloe b, Fig. 3, a bush d, and an intermediate portion e of spring metal, or of caoutchouc, wood, or other elastic material. To prevent the felloe b from being permanently deformed when overloaded, the bearing tracks f, g have extensions l with horizontal surfaces m, n separated by a space less than the limit of elastic deformation of the roller; these surfaces come into contact and take the load when excessive.
