Inventor: PETCH ALBANY FRANCIS
Filed: 1907-10-26
Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 23,656. Petch, A. F., and Duncan, F. Oct. 26. Loading - appliances. - Relates to ammunition supply arrangements of the kind wherein the shell and powder charges are hoisted by separate cages up a central trunk and consists in making the powder trunk cages so that they can be loaded on one side, and discharged on the opposite side into waiting trays, and also in arranging the latter at the top of the trunk horizontally between the separate hoists for powder and shell. Fig. 1 shows a half-sectional elevation of the ammunition trunk. The waiting trays I, J, K are served with powder from the cage B, and with shell from the cage A, the trays being arranged between the cages A and B. The cage B has pivoted holders D, E, which can be loaded from the right-band side and tilted automatically on reaching the top of the trunk so as to discharge the cordite into the waiting trays I, J, on the left-hand side, while the cage A discharges the shell into the tray K. The contents of the trays I, J, K are then rammed on to an upper hoist cage, which transfers them to the gun level.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Signalling Systems for Railways and the like.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1908-05-06
Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 9850. Boult, A. J., [Union Switch and Signal Co.]. May 6. Automatic systems; electric railways and tramways, signalling on.-In an alternating - current signalling-system employing polyphase signalling- currents, and in which the track rails are electrically continuous without insulating-pieces, the windings of the relays are arranged in parallel with respect to the exciting-transformers, and in series with respect to any other currents impressed on the rails. Each signal 21, 22 may be controlled by two relays with local contacts in series, both relays being energized by one transformer situated between them. In Fig. 2, one manner of carrying out the invention is shown. The single-phase transformer 24 supplies current to the track rails 5<a>, 6<a> through a capacity 27 and an inductance 28, this being equivalent to a two-phase supply to the track rails, across which the coils 16<a>, 17<a> of the relays are connected, the transformer and the two relays being connected by a return lead. In modifications, two-phase current is supplied from a generator through transformers. A train on the section short-circuits one or other of the relays, thus opening the signal circuit. Leakage currents across the track rails pass through the two coils 16<a>, 17<a> of the relays in series, and do not energize them.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Emptying, Filling, and Threading Lace Machine Carriages, and Placing the Carriage Spring on the Bobbin.
Inventor: BIRKIN THOMAS STANLEY
Filed: 1908-06-29
Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 13,690. Birkin, T. S., Birkin, C. W., and Pare, F. W. June 29. Lace bobbins removing from and inserting into carriages.-Mechanism for replacing empty bobbins in lace-machine carriages by full ones, and delivering the carriages ready for use, as described in Specifications Nos. 8651, 8652, and 8653, A.D. 1904, is modified as follows. The cam-shafts 8, 9 are driven by chain-gearing. The carriage-feeding slide 18 is driven from an edge cam 19 through a connecting-rod, or indirectly through toothed gearing and sliding racks. A carriage-receiving plate 31 attached to the slide 18 works below the carriage box. The carriage is held in position during the forward traverse by a spring finger 112, which rotates on a rising pivot during the return traverse and brushes past the carriage. At the removing position, spring clamping-plungers 38 enter the carriage pegholes, the bobbin being removed by the combined action of a presser 43, Fig. 4, and a pin 49, while the spring is held off the bobbin by means of a pointed or bevel-ended pin which may be notched or shouldered. In case of the carriage being placed wrong way up or of unsuccessful removal of the carriage, the obstruction prevents the normal movement of feelers 72 through the bobbin hole, and, by means of a spring-pressed slide 65, Fig. 1, following an edge cam, a projection 66 is left in the path of a projection 67 on the shaft 8 ; the slide 65 and a lever 60 are thus pressed backwards, and mechanism is operated to stop the machine. After advancing to the inserting position the carriage is clamped by pins 75, and a full bobbin guided by a lowered guard hinged to the box is fed forward by a slide and inserted by a pin 83, Fig. 5, with an oblique movement. A presser plate 80 holds the bottom in the plane of the carriage during replacement of the spring. The thread ends hanging from the bobbin box are kept separate by means of a bristle roller intermittently operated. The carriages are removed to a tilting delivery table 99, Fig. 1, and are conveyed by gravity to boxes 111 on a rotary table 7. The empty bobbins are also delivered to a table which is geared to advance with the table 7, the movement being controlled by a worm-driven timing-wheel which periodically actuates clutch mechanism.

Title: An Improved Method of Forming the Uppers of Boots or Shoes.
Inventor: WHITELAW ALBERT EDWARD
Filed: 1908-09-21
Granted: 1908-11-26
Abstract: 19,815. Whitelaw, A. E. Sept. 21. Uppers.-The two pieces A, B of which the back part of an upper is composed are cut one wider than the other, so that the seam will be at one side instead of at the back. Their back edges are then cut so that, where the shape to be produced at the back is concave, the larger part is cut with a curve of less radius than that of the smaller part, and, conversely, where the shape to be produced is convex, the smaller part is cut with a curve of less radius than that of the larger part. For example, to give the convex curve to the heel, the curve b<5>, b<6> of the smaller part B is of less radius than the curve a<5>, a<6> of the larger piece A, while, to give the concave curve to the upper part of the boot, the curve a<6>, a<7> of the larger portion is of less radius than the curve b<6>, b<7> of the smaller portion. The two edges are then stitched together, forming an upper of correct shape without any blocking.

Title: Improved Process for Producing Carbon Black.
Inventor: MACHTOLF JOSEF
IPC: C09C1/48
Filed: 1909-06-12
Granted: 1910-06-13
Abstract: 13,865. Machtolf, J. June 12. Carbon; hydrogen. - Amorphous carbon, or lamp-black, and hydrogen are obtained by gasifying and exploding liquid hydrocarbons in the same cylinder. The material to be decomposed, for example benzene, benzine, gas-oil, petroleum, petroleum residues, or turpentine, is heated to a temperature such that an electric spark, mercury fulminate, &c. can decompose it. The heating is effected by a superheated steam or heated oil jacket to the decomposition cylinder, the raw material being injected or squirted against the heated internal walls. The periodic introduction and explosion of the material may be made dependent upon each other and automatic. Or the gasification may be dispensed with if a quantity of a highly explosible gas, such as acetylene, is added to the fluid hydrocarbon, in which case the explosion of the acetylene gasifies and explodes the other material. In an example, benzene is injected into an explosion vessel containing an equal weight of compressed acetylene, through which it diffuses as vapour. The mixture is then exploded by an electric spark. Air or oxygen may be used instead of, or added to, the acetylene. The hydrogen formed is collected after each explosion, but may also be employed for driving the carbon out of the explosion cylinder into a collector.

Filed: 1909-12-28
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 30,309. McKean, J. O. Dec. 28. Yarns and threads, gassing.-Means are provided in gassing-machines for removing the burners from the threads before the machine stops, for starting the machine before placing the burners in operative position, and for moving the burners and threads relatively to each other after the machine is stopped so that the thread, which passes the burners without being gassed in consequence of the abovedescribed action, re-passes them when the burners are in the operative position. In the machine shown in Fig. 1, the burners C are lowered by means of a lever r, which also operates through a forked arm t and a rocking shaft u to move the driving-belt i on to the loose pulley; owing to the width of the belt, the machine does not stop until the burners are clear of the threads. Further movement of the lever r moves the belt on to another pulley and drives the supply bobbin a' in a reverse direction so as to re-wind a portion of thread, the weight f<1> of the brake band being supported by an arm g<1> on the shaft u. During this operation, a ratchet applies a brake to the bobbin a so as to keep the threads taut. In modifications, the burners or the thread bobbins are mounted on slides which are moved by the operative after the machine is stopped so as to ensure that the parts of threads which passed the burners when in the inoperative position, and the parts which are moved before the burners become operative shall be gassed. In each case, a lever lowers the burners, and afterwards operates the stop mechanism. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 8, a lever r first lowers the burners by means of a link w<1>, and, after they come to rest against a stop, acts through a spring u<1> to move a lever r<1>, which operates the belt-shifting gear. When a clutch drive is used, the lever r is provided with a cam-groove so shaped as to operate means to withdraw the clutch after the burners are lowered, and to connect the clutch before the burners are raised.

Abstract: 24,511. Rosenberg, E. Oct. 21. Equalizing load. - A considerable range of speed with a comparatively small variation of the current supplied to a direct-current motor, and especially the motor of a fly-wheel equalizer for a rolling-mill &c., is obtained by means of a compound winding, the shunt current of which is varied in accordance with the speed of the motor. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the motor 1 has a series winding 4 and a shunt coil 5 carrying current which is derived from a constantly excited generator 6, driven from the motor shaft, and which therefore varies as the motor speed. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the generator 6 is shunt-excited at 7 so that the variation of the shunt current at 5 is accentuated as the motor speed varies. In the excitation-speed characteristics shown in Fig. 4, in which excitation is plotted vertically, the curves a, b, c show respectively the speeds corresponding to the total ampere-turns and those of the coils 5, 4 of the arrangement shown in Fig. 3. The currents n<1> N<1>, n<2> N<2>, which correspond to the allowable limiting speeds o n<1>, o n<2> for a given case, do not differ greatly from the mean current N. The motor may also have a third coil excited constantly from an independent source; or this independent source may be connected in series with the coil 5. A diverter may also be connected across the coil 4.

Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 2295. Wilson, G. E., and Wilson, G. E. Jan. 30. Mortising.-A spacing-device for mortising- machines, more particularly for use with repetition work, consists of a rod e attached to the sliding work-table d and carrying stops i, adjustably secured by set-screws n in relation to an end stop m. The work is clamped on the table with its end in contact with the stop m, and holes are mortised in the position in which a pivoted catch p, held depressed by pressure on a foot-lever q, engages with the stops i. After each hole is mortised, the catch is raised to allow the stop to pass under it by releasing the foot-lever, which rises under the influence of a spring or counterweight t. When the width of the chain or other tool is less than the length of the hole required, the table is traversed between the limits allowed by the engagement of the catch p with two properly adjusted stops. In modifications, the catch may be fixed and the stop-rod movable laterally ; or the stoprod may be rotatable and have the stops mounted eccentrically so that a partial rotation of the stop-rod brings it into an inoperative position.
