Abstract: 27,224. Widekind, E. Dec. 5, 1910, [Convention date]. Ladle-heating furnaces.-A furnace for drying and heating freshly lined ladles to render them fit to receive molten steel consists in one form of a burner b, above which is placed the inverted ladle a to be dried and heated. The burner is supplied with gas and air by pipes c, d respectively, the products of combustion passing into the ladle and escaping with the moisture from the ladle through the space e surrounding the burner b into a channel f communicating with the chimney g. The products of combustion passing through the channel g serve to heat the air and gas supplied to the burner. Instead of a gas-burner, a furnace burning wood, coal, or briquettes may be used, in which case only the air for combustion is preliminarily heated.

Abstract: 7582. Bolam, T. H., and Barnard, S. N. March 28. [Cognate Application, 24,425/12.] Kinematograph apparatus.-In apparatus of the kind in which the pictures are arranged in a helical series on a cylinder of flexible film which is intermittently rotated round and longitudinally moved along a stationary shaft past a lens, the film e is supported in cylindrical form by members c, d engaging the ends of the cylinder of film and so connected together as to constitute a skeleton drum capable of being rotated and simultaneously moved longitudinally. The film-supporting members c, d may be detachably connected together through a sleeve f or the like having a helical groove with which engages a pin on the stationary shaft b upon which the sleeve f is mounted, so that intermittent rotation of the drum through the engagement of the interrupted worm g<5> or of a reciprocating pawl with the toothed wheel c<1> attached to the member c causes simultaneous longitudinal movement of the drum. In a modification, the film-supporting members c, d are connected together by suitable rods and a fastening-device, and in this form the stationary shaft b is formed with a helical groove with which engages a tongue on the member c. The worm or reciprocating pawl mechanism for effecting the rotation of the drum is connected with the drum in such a manner that it slides longitudinally with it in the frame g, for example along the rotary shaft h and the guidebar g<1>. A film strip for use in this apparatus is provided with metal tabs on one end for engagement with slots on the other end. The lens is focused through a rack and pinion or an eccentric by the rod a<11> rotated by a milled head a<12> on the exterior of the casing, and a vertically adjustable view-finder is provided. In the Provisional Specification it is stated that the sliding frame g may be provided with a roller running on the bottom of the casing; that a switch actuated by the operating-handle may be provided to extinguish the projecting light during movement of the film; and that instead of employing a lamp for projection, the stationary shaft b may be hollow and a beam of light projected into it and emitted at a point opposite the lens. Specification 1140/10 is referred to.

Measuring.-Consists in an improved construction of cloth measuring and marking machine in which the marking-drum carries a units type-wheel rotated through one step at each revolution of the measuring drum, and a tens wheel rotated through one step by a cam at each revolution of the units wheel. The short marking-drum 9 is mounted on a swinging bracket 7 and is driven from the yard drum 2. Type-wheels 12 are carried side by side on a stud 15 on a plate 10 and project through an aperture 13. Fixed fractional type are also carried, and at the points where the drum 2, contacts with the type, spring-pressed plungers 14 are provided. The units wheel is gear-driven from the shaft of a star-wheel 19 rotated at each - revolution by contact with a fixed projection, to bring the next type into position, a spring- pressed pin 22 then snapping into a notch 23 on the inner periphery of the type-wheel. The tens wheel has a circle of short slots 24 into which, once per revolution of the units wheel, a spring-mounted pin 25 is pressed by a fixed cam 26, the length of the cam being sufficient to turn the tens wheel through the space between adjacent type. The tens wheel has a spring- pressed pin to snap into notches similar to notches 23. Both type-wheels are provided with resetting hand-wheels and zero stops. The inking-wheel 36 works in a bath 37 and is mounted on a shaft 38 carrying a driven pulley 39, the wheel being located so that the type just touch the wheel. A cleaning-brush may also be provided. The drums 2, 9 are mounted on ball bearings, and to prevent overrunning when the cloth has passed, a counterweighted pedal 41 is provided which raises a brake-block 42 into contact with a brake-drum 43, and at the same time throws out a clutch 47 to disconnect the countershaft 51, which carries one of the cloth-board supporting-jaws 52. A handlever may be provided, without operating which the clutch cannot be re-engaged.

Abstract: 7625. Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Co., and Hill, E. O. April 1. [Cognate Application, 12,674/13.] Compensating for wear.-In slack-adjusting apparatus for the brake mechanism of tramcars, railway carriages, wagons, &c., a ratchet bar A, provided with a slot 4 sliding on a guide 5 carried by a fixed bracket B, is connected at 3 to the brake blocks and is engaged by a pawl C pivoted on a pin 9, which is connected to the pull-rod E and slides in slots 16 in the bracket B. A second pawl D, engaging the ratchet, is pivoted on a pin 20 sliding in the slot 4. The pawls are provided respectively with flanges 19, 25 adapted to contact with stops 7, 6 formed on the bracket B. The rod E is subjected to a pull to apply the brakes, and, when sufficient wear occurs, the pawl D comes against a fixed stop 31 and takes up a tooth on the ratchet; and, during release of the brakes, the pawl C similarly takes up a tooth. The flange 25 of the pawl D is arranged in relation to the bracket B so as to be prevented from rising out of engagement with the ratchet until the pawl reaches the stop 31, in which position the flange 25 rises into an inclined cutaway portion 26, Fig. 10, on the bracket. In a modification, the flange 25 is constructed with an extension which normally contacts with the underside of the stop 6, but moves clear thereof when the pawl reaches the stop 31 to allow the pawl to rise. The ratchet bar A may have teeth at the underside engaged by a second set of pawls. The pawls are constructed of pairs of side plates 12, 22 connected by intermediate blocks 14, 32, which are formed with teeth 15, 23 and made heavy to ensure engagement of the pawls with the rack.

The bracket 20 is yieldingly connected to a projection on the bracket 19 by a spring bolt 31. The upper ends of the forks are connected by links 39', 41 to crank arms on a shaft 38. The forks may be adjusted or lifted out of work by rocking the shaft 38 by means of a lever 43 engaging with a locking- rack. The crank-shaft 34 is driven from the axle by sprocket gearing 44, 45, 46, 47, 48. The sprocket-wheel 46 may be disengaged from the shaft 28 by moving it against the action of a spring 49 by means of the bent lever 43 of the adjusting-mechanism. The sprocket wheel 48 is adjustable. The fork tines are carried by U-shaped plates 51 pivotally connected to the fork stems by pins 52. Stops prevent the plates 51 from turning in one direction, and springs return them to their original position after they have been partially rotated by engagement with obstructions as the mower turns. The tines consist of a bent bar 56 mounted in projections 57, and are yieldingly held in position by means of springs 58 and bevelled blocks 59.
