Abstract: 23,256. Cousin, P. A. J. Oct. 17, 1911, [Convention date] Producers.-A grateless gas-producer having a combustion chamber of downwardly flaring shape is provided with an air - distributor p submerged in the water in the ash-pit e. By this construction the clinker 8 formed at the base of the charge of fuel is rendered spongy and friable, thus facilitating its descent into the ash-pit. A bell f, adapted to be raised and lowered, maintains the liquid seal between the fuel bed and the atmosphere. In case of a stoppage, the fire in the producer is kept in by admitting air through a pipe x. The air-distributor, Fig. 2, comprises a hollow cone p extended at its upper part to form a chamber q, provided with an inlet r jointed to an airsupply pipe s. The upper part q has a seating t to receive a distributing-cap u pierced at different levels with apertures v for the exit of the air. The distributor-cap u is removable and may be replaced by another having apertures at still different levels.

Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 25,896. Jensen, P. L., and Pridham, E. S. Nov. 11. Telephones. - In telephonic receiving-apparatus, the motion of a straight conductor carrying current in a strong magnetic field is communicated directly to a diaphragm in a specially-constructed sound-box. A flat rectangular frame C of vulcanite or like material carries a coil connected to a telephone circuit by the leads T, T'. The side b of the coil lies in a narrow air-gap g in a powerful and invariable magnetic circuit M; hence under the influence of ielephonic currents the coil moves in its own plane, and vibrates a diaphragm D to which it is connected by a rigid rod r which serves to support the coil. The diaphragm forms a partition in a sound-box B with openings o, o<1>, to which listening-tubes are attached. In modifications, the opposite side a of the coil may be placed in a similar but independent magnetic field: or the sides a, b may occupy two air-gaps in a single magnetic circuit: or two coils C with sound-boxes D may be independently mounted in two gaps in the same circuit.

Title: Improved Manufacture of Drawing Material.
Inventor: LITTLE CHARLES HENRY
IPC: G03F1/00
Filed: 1913-01-15
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 1143. Little, C. H. Jan. 15. Surfaces for drawing upon.-A sheet of drawing-material, which is adapted to be worked upon by means of a metal stylus, comprises a translucent base sheet A, a translucent layer of material B, and a relatively opaque coating C in which lines are cut by the stylus, the lines showing by exposing the layer B in contrast with the opaque layer C. The layer B is partly penetrated by the stylus, but affords sufficient protection against the stylus cutting into the base sheet A. The sheet A is of translucent material, such as paper or tracing-cloth, in order that the whole sheet may be used in making blue prints. The thin flexible layer B consists of a fine light-coloured pigment, such as kaolin, mixed with a binder, such as water, with a small proportion of glue; and the coating C consists of a dark-coloured pigment, such as lamp-black and burnt umber, mixed with water and a little glue. A thin flexible waterproof coating D of balsam shellac may be applied to the base of the sheet. In use, the sheet is preferably mounted on a hard surface, such as glass, patches of cement E being applied to he underside of the sheet for this purpose. By employing a V-shaped stylus, the width of the lines may be varied by varying the depth of cut. Dark-coloured lines may be printed on the coating C so as to produce profile or section paper.

Abstract: 21,536. Hupfeld Akt.-Ges., L. Feb. 3, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Stringed instruments.-An oscillatory movement is imparted to a violin or similar bow by means of two motors capable of continuous motion and driving a common shaft. The motors drive the shaft alternately in opposite directions, and are alternately started and stopped either by hand or by means controlled by the tune-sheet. The shaft may be connected by a belt or chain to an annular bow, or it may drive a band bow. In one modification, two vacuum engines are arranged on opposite sides of a three-throw crank-shaft and are alternately connected to exhaust by valves which are pneumatically controlled. In another modification, the armatures of two electromotors are wound for opposite directions of rotation and are mounted on the same shaft. The circuits of the motors are completed alternately by two bellows, which are adapted to move a brush of each motor. Hydraulic, internal-combustion, or other motors may be employed.

Inventor: CAVALLI CARLO
IPC: F02M7/10
Filed: 1914-01-05
Granted: 1915-03-05
Abstract: 286. Cavalli, C. Jan. 5. Spray carburettors.-Correct composition of the mixture, which has a slight excess of fuel for starting and accelerating, is obtained by surrounding the fuel nozzle by two or more tubes which are connected to reservoirs open to the atmosphere. The nozzle 12, the outlet from which is below the normal fuel level, is supplied from the float chamber 4 through a passage 10 controlled by a valve 22, and is surrounded by tubes 13, 14 connected respectively to reservoirs 21, 19. The tube 13 is perforated at 17, 18. When there is no suction or only slight suction, the tubes and reservoirs are filled with fuel up to the normal level, and efficient spraying is obtained through the narrow space between the tube 14 and baffle 15. As the throttle 3 is opened and the suction increases, the tubes become emptied, and air is drawn through them, the injector action of which upon the nozzle 12 compensates for the retardation of the fuel-flow produced by frictional resistance at the valve 22.

Pile tables and supports for sheet feeds; grippers and gripper mechanism; sheet carriers and forwarders; sheet - separators. - Sheets of metal are fed through a metal - working machine by grippers which carry them forward and then partially backward against stops, which strip them from the grippers. The sheets are held in a hopper I comprising sides i, bottom plates i<5>, front guide i<2>, and back guides i<3>, all adjustable to suit various sizes of sheets. The lowest sheet is drawn down by a cup j evacuated by a pump j<5> and reciprocated by an eccentric j<11> and gearing j<2>, j<3>, j<4>. The bottom plates i<5> are cut away as shown in Fig. 1 to allow this, and the sheet is moved forward by projections b<1> on a slide B reciprocated by a crank b<4> and links b<1>, b<2>, b<3>. Upon subsequent reciprocations of the slide B, the sheets are fed forward by means of fingers E pivoted thereto, which grip the sheets between members e, e<1>, Fig. 3, and, on their return stroke, move the sheets backwards until they are stripped by pawls H<1>, H<2>, H<3>, While the sheets are held by these pawls, they may be notched by mechanism F<1>, flanged by mechanism F<2>, and bent round a horn G. The presserfeet f<1> of the flanging-mechanism are actuated by a cam f<5> and links f<2>, f<3>, f<4> and, on their up-stroke, engage a set-screw f<7> and raise the horn G to allow the advance of the sheets.
