Abstract: 11,938. Neff, C., and Brandes, A. May 13. Incrustation, preventing. - The process for treating water to prevent the formation of scale in steam boilers by passage over sheets of aluminium exposed to the open air, as by the process described in Specification 12,258/07, [Class 1, Acids, alkalies, &c.], is improved by causing the liquid to travel in frictional contact with an extensive and active surface of aluminium. The former condition is obtained by corrugating the plate and inclining it at a very considerable angle as shown in apparatus described in Specification 14,740/09. For the latter condition, the surface should be in a state of comparatively loose molecular aggregation, and to this end, the sheet is scoured with sand, emery, or other abrasive substance, or is cleansed by chemical agents as would have a like effect, such as alkali, or is subjected to both these treatments. According to the Provisional Specification, the process may be used with metals other than aluminium.

Abstract: 18,766. Alperin, B. A. Aug. 9. Stands and brackets f o r mounting and securing reserve tyres and wheels on vehicles. - Comprises means for carrying spare wheels, tyres, and accessories o n motor-vehicles. In two forms a tubular framing is bolted to the footboard and is supported by an adjustable strut 20, Fig. 2, connected to the chassis. Spare rims or tyres can be clamped by sliding rods 16 at each end of the framing. Clamps secure the sliding rods in position, and the tyres are also secured near the footboard by an adjustable chain and padlock. In one modification, a casing 30 for carrying accessories is mounted inside the rims of the tyres and is secured in position by clips 32 and a bracket 33, Fig. 1. A re-entrant portion 59 of the casing forms a free passage for the valve stems of the tyres, and rain-proof ventilators 61 are provided on the casing. In another modification shown in Fig. 10, a casing is employed large enough to enclose the complete tyre and rim. The hinged front is secured by latches 56, 57. An annular portion of the casing encloses the tyres, and the inner casing contains a shelf 60 and a re-entrant portion for the valve stems v. Fig. 18 shows a form in which the casing is secured by an adjustable base-support. The clamping-nut 94 is linked to a pair of sliding members 98, 106, which are clamped by nuts 99 on to an undercut projection on the casing. By releasing various nuts, the support can be moved to any position such as the one shown in dotted lines. In a modification of this form, the links are omitted, and the single member corresponding to 98 slides on a vertical support carrying the nut 94.

Abstract: 19,779. Regnard, P. L. A. Aug. 25, 1909, [Convention dute]. Gyroscopic apparatus for balancing aerial machines. A gyroscope rotating in an horizontal plane is adapted, when the machine inclines from its normal position, to switch into action one or more of four electric circuits tending to restore equilibrium, two of the circuits being used for the longitudinal balancing a n d two for the lateral balancing. The gyroscope A is universally mounted between supports B fixed to the machine, and carries a disk E, which, when the machine inclines, contacts with and closes one or more of four switches F<1>, F<2>, F<3>, F<4>. Each switch may comprise two conducting-strips a, b, Fig. 3, pressed into contact by the disk E, but a preferred construction is that shown in Figs. 1 and 2, in which the strip a carries an arched projection c on which the lower spherical surface of the disk E presses, the radius of the sphere being the distance from the axis of the gyroscope, so that the pressure applied to the strips is constant. The switches F<1>, F<2> for the longitudinal equilibrium are connected with a solenoid G, of which the iron core is connected to an endless rope passing over pulleys and adapted to actuate a sector on a shaft carrying rear elevating-planes H. The solenoid comprises two coils placed end to end, one of which is connected with the switch F<1>, and the other with the switch F<2>, so that the iron core is moved in one direction or the other according as one or other of the switches F<1>, F<2> is closed by the disk E. The switches F<3>, F<4> for the lateral equilibrium are connected to a similar solenoid G<1>, of which the iron core is similarly adapted to actuate sectors to operate side planes I in opposite directions about laterally extending axes.

Title: Machine for Assembling the Parts of Butt Hinges and the like.
Inventor: STELLER HERMANN
IPC: B21D53/40
Filed: 1911-01-11
Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 770. Steller, H., and Piepenstock, R. Jan. 11. Assembling parts.-A machine for automatically assembling parts of butt hinges has separate shoots down which the flaps, pins, and heads are delivered in front of horizontally reciprocating rams. At each end of the machine is a shaft 10, on which are mounted two eccentrics 8 adapted to operate ram holders which carry adjustable rams 3, 4, 5, 6, the rams being spring-retracted and guided in bed-plates 7. Each shaft 10 has a cam 18 on its end adapted to operate a lever 19, which in turn operates a ram 21 or 22 for alining the parts and ejecting finished hinges. The ram 5 has an offset 31 which is adapted to push the lowest flap 32 from the shoot 27 along in front of the ram 21, which is then operated to push the flap across the bed in alinement with the rams 3, 5. The slide 21 is then withdrawn and the rams 3 5, are operated, the ram 5 delivering the heads 29 from the shoot 25 and the ram 3 delivering the pins 30 from the shoot 28, and pushing them into the flap, at the same time that another flap is pushed in front of the ram 21. The rams 3, 5 are then withdrawn and the ram 21 is actuated, whereupon an offset 38 of this ram having two depending lugs 39, Fig. 4, to engage the head and pin of the hinge pushes the half-completed hinge into almement with the other pair of rams 4, 6 while the next flap 32 is pushed into alinement with the rams 3, 5. All the rams are then operated, the first operation being again repeated, and the other part-hinge completed between the rams 4, 6 by the ram 4 supplying a head 29 from the shoot 24 and a tranverse ram 22 supplying a flap 32<a> which has been pushed in front of this ram by an offset ram 40 of the main ram 4. The ram 22 is again operated, whereupon another flap 32<a> is pushed into place and the completed hinge ejected by an offset 43, which is raised a sufficient distance above the bed to clear the pin of the hinge, but will not clear the eye of the finished hinge. To hold the hinge portions in place while being operated on bv the rams, a lever 35 is pivoted to a bolt 34. Fig. 3, and has two depending portions 33, 42 adapted to press on the hinge, the lever being operated by a cam 37 and spring-retracted.

Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 16,343. Electromotors, Ltd., and Greenhalgh, E. July 15. Systems for continuous-current motors only; push-button control systems.-A motor is supplied through a motor-generator when " inch- " ing," and is controlled by means of a shunt field resistance for working speeds. During the transition from " inching " to working speeds, control is obtained by means of a series resistance. The field coils MS of the working motor M is connected with a variable resistance Mr across the mains, and the armature may be connected to the generator part Q of the auxiliary machine by the controller contact B2. The motor part R with its shunt field r is connected across the mains through a starter s. The circuits are controlled, preferably, by a. drum controller operated by hand, or automatically by an electromotor and worm gearing. When the controller is moved to its first position, the contacts B1 are closed. The coil a1 is thereby energized and closes the main switch A. In the second position, the contacts B2, q1 are closed, and the generator Q is connected to the working motor. The contact B3 is then moved so that the generator supplies increasing voltages for " inching " speeds. On the next series of steps, the motor M is connected with the resistance F, across the mains by the movement of the contact B2' and the resistance is then cut out. Further movement puts resistance Mr in the field circuit of the motor. Starting press-buttons T are provided to close the circuit of the actuating coil s1 of the starter S, and buttons Ware provided for stopping. A series winding H on the generator, and a supplementary resistance E, strengthen the field when motor-generator control is substituted for series control during the backward movement of the controller.
