Granted: 1904-09-08
Abstract: 25,274. Lapisse, E. Nov. 19. Tyres, pneumatic.- Punctures are prevented by interposing between the outer cover and the air tube a flexible metallic fabric, which is separated from the air tube by a strip of canvas or other flexible material. The band a, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, of metallic links or meshes, is secured to the canvas c by sewing along the lines h, and the edges of the canvas are attached to the outer cover f by means of solution, hooks, laces, or the like. The metallic band a, Fig. 5, is embedded in a layer b of india-rubber, and the strip c is provided with lateral portions d in which elastic wrap threads are inserted under tension during weaving. The elastic portions d retain the band in position without any attachment between the edges and the outer cover. Indiarubber warp threads may be woven into the strip c through its entire width, the lateral threads being placed under greater tension than the intermediate threads. The india-rubber layer b, Fig. 10, in which the metallic band is embedded, may be moulded into the shape shown, and the canvas or other strip may be dispensed with.

Abstract: 7381. Young, J. H. March 28. Reeling-machines. -Cylinders, similar to those described in Specification No. 25,179, A.D. 1901, on which silk, thread, and other materials may be wound or formed into skeins, are made to collapse, as shown in section in Fig. 3, to facilitate the removal of t h e material when wound. The cylinders, which may be adapted to be internally heated by steam pipes 9 for drying purposes, are composed of peripheral segmental plates, alternately fixed and movable, and have end plates 3 loosely mounted on the main shaft 1, the end plate 3 being cut away at 7 to permit the movable segments 6, provided with corresponding lips 24, to be drawn inwardly. The fixed plates 4 carried by arms 5, loose on the main shaft, are connected by lugs 15, pivoted at 16 to the movable segments 6, which are joined by the links 11 to the collars 10 fast on the main shaft. During the winding process, the arms 5 are driven by means of the pin 23 through the crank arm 20 and the periphery remains unbroken. The power is then disconnected from the main shaft, the pin 23 withdrawn, a reverse movement given to the shaft 1 by the crank handle 21, and the cylinder collapses ready for the material to be withdrawn.

Granted: 1906-10-04
Abstract: 20,169. Braun, R. Oct. 5. Dynamos, regulating; motors, controlling. - Relates to a method of equalizing the load on alternating-current generators supplying current to a variable-load circuit, such as induction motors operating winding - engines, rolling-mills, &c., and consists in the use of an equalizer comprising a rotary converter connected across the mains and on the direct-current side to a shunt machine provided with a fly-wheel, means being provided by which the resistance in the circuit of or the voltage impressed upon the field winding of the shunt machine may be varied either by hand or automatically in accordance with the load on the supply circuit. The converter 8, Fig. 2, which is connected to the mains 2 through a transformer 4, is provided with a shunt field winding 9, the circuit of which includes a rheostat 17, and with a series field winding 10 through which the direct-current brushes 11 are connected to the shunt machine 13. By varying the resistance 16 in the circuit of the shunt field winding 15, the machine 13 may be made to act as a motor taking current from the converter 8 and storing energy in the fly - wheel 14, or as a generator supplying energy to the mains 2 through the converter 8, the series winding 10 opposing the shunt winding 9 when the machine 13 is running as a motor and assisting the shunt winding when it is running as a generator. The automatic variation of the resistance 16 may be effected by means of a liquid rheostat 20 having a fixed electrode 21 and a movable electrode 22, the position of which is determined by an alternating-current motor 23, the primary of which is supplied with current from a series transformer 28. The motor 23 may be replaced by a watt-meter device, in which case shunt transformers may also be required. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, in which the voltage impressed upon the circuit of the shunt winding 15 is automatically varied, a rectifier 31 is used comprising slip-rings 32 connected across a series transformer 35, and a commutator 33, the brushes 36, 361 of which are connected to the field winding 15 through a resistance 37 which is varied automatically with the speed of the machine 13 by means of a centrifugal governor 38.

Abstract: 24,044. Newland, C. L. Oct. 29. Rotary machines; printing on sand-paper and the like; cutting and perforating apparatus; inking- apparatus. - The, web of paper, fabric, &c. to be printed and cut into sheets passes from a roll a, Fig. 1, between one or more pairs of printing and impression rolls d, c according to the number of colours desired, fed by inking-rolls e, as in Specification No. 4616, A.D. 1905. At the same time, the web may be longitudinally cut or perforated, after which it passes to the main transverse cutter. This consists of two blades j, k, Fig. 2, the upper one j being pivoted to the lower and carrying a presser blade t. It is actuated through a lever r pivoted at r<1> and depressed by a cam i acting on a roller s. The return movement is given by a spring r<2>. The lower blade k is pressed forward by springs l<1>, so that the knife-edges are kept sharp by friction. The feed-roller y is continuously rotated, but the segmental rings x are normally held out of contact with it, so that the paper is not fed during the cutting operation. Just as the knife j, however, reaches its lowest point a stop 8 depresses the finger 7 on the shaft x<1> and brings the parts x, y into contact with the paper. The holding-fingers v, pivoted to the shaft w, are raised when the knife blade is raised, by a stop w<2> contacting with the finger w<1>.
