Abstract: 16,214. Baker, Ltd., F. E., and Baker, F. E. July 11. Cams. - Antifriction rollers f are mounted directly, without the use of pivot pins, in partcylindrical recesses in cam - operated levers or rods &c., such as the valve - operating levers or rods of internal-combustion engines for motorcycles &c. To prevent axial displacement, a flange g in the recess engages a groove in the roller, the roller being provided with a washer j secured by a bolt and nut or a rivet pin h, which may be formed as shown in Fig. 5, or may be integral with the washer, the opposite end being riveted or provided with a screw nut. In a modification, the flange g is formed in the central plane of the recess and roller. The part-cylindrical recess may enclose more than half the roller, in which case the rollers formed as indicated above are inserted from the side. Where the recess does not enclose a diameter of the roller, the roller, formed in one piece with a groove, is inserted straight into the recess, but in this case is only retained therein by the pressure of the cam &c. In the valve-gear shown in Fig. 1, the valve stems d rest on levers a, b provided with rollers f and actuated by cams e, the transverse supporting ends c of the lever b being formed so that the two valve stems may be arranged in the same vertical plane passing through the lever a.

Abstract: 19,669. Tainton, U. C., and Aymard, M. F. L. A. Aug. 30. M e t a l s, depositing; cells; electrodes; electrolytes, circulating.-Gold cyanide or other metalliferous solution is passed through a cathode of finely-divided conductive substance, such as graphite or metal, the pores or interstices being preferably so small that the liquid eddies in tiaversing them. In one arrangement, powdered graphite 9, Fig. 1, is supported by a sheet of porous material such as filter cloth or paper on a perforated partition 4 within a round closed cell 1. Electric connexion with the graphite is made by embedded wire netting and a surrounding ring 8. The graphite may be compressed while wet; it may be deposited from a suspension. ' Packing ' of the graphite may be prevented by using a fluctuating pressure of electrolyte. Above and below the cathode are anode disks 14, 15, separated from it by horizontal diaphragms 10, 12. If the anodes are of peroxidized lead, the liquid behind .the diaphragms may be an alkali sulphate solution. Electrolyte enters by a pipe 19 opening upwards beneath the upper diaphragm, and escapes by a pipe 3 below the cathode, its flow being caused by pressure, suction, or both. The cell is in two parts connected by bolts through horizontal flanges; a lid 2 screws into the upper part. In another arrangement, a cell 20, Fig. 5, oblong in plan, contains a frame 25 fitted with perforated cross-bars 26 and covered on both sides with wire-gauze facing two anode plates. Porous material or wire netting is placed between the layers of gauze to support them. The interior of the frame is connected by pipes 31 with a T-piece, the upward branch of which is closed by a plug 34, while the horizontal branch is connected bv a flexible tube with a main suction pipe. From this branches a pipe which communicates with the bottom of the cell through a pump, used initially for drawing through the wire-gauze and frame 25 a suspension of graphite, and, after the wire-gauze is sufficiently coated, for circulating the electrolyte through pipes 24, 43 entering the cell respectively at and near the bottom. To remove the graphite, the frame is transferred to a tank beside the cell, and the suction is arrested, the graphite then falling away from the gauze. The cell bottom preferably slopes as shown. In a third arrangement, a carbon tube cathode closed at its lower end communicates at its upper end with a suction pipe. The carbon tube is coated with graphite powder, which may be continuously added to the electrolyte and scraped off the tube. High electric pressures are used.

Abstract: 26,997. Faries, C. L., A. T., &. T. Co. Nov. 24. Capacities, measuring; locating faults in insulation.-Apparatus for comparing the capacities of conductors consists of a Wheatstone-bridge arrangement in which one conductor and a variable capacity forming two arms are simultaneously and rapidly charged by a battery, and discharged through the resistance arms to earth. The apparatus may be used for finding the position of a break in an overhead telephone wire. As shown, the conductor T1 and a variable capacity B are connected by a motor-driven switch A and a hand-switch K with a battery E, and are then connected by the commutator to the arms c, d of the bridge D, the capacity B being adjusted until there is no deflexion in the galvanometer. The capacity of an unbroken line T8, the length of which is known, is then measured, and the distance to the break calculated. The switch A consists of two disks each with three insulated segments engaging with brushes. Resistances C1 may be connected in the arm d. In order to test whether the wire is grounded at the break, the switch S2 is moved to the upper position so as to connect a voltmeter V, which is deflected by the difference of earth potential at the break and at the station due to stray currents. The bridge test is similar when the wire is grounded, allowance being made for the discharge to earth at the break, for which purpose the battery is connected through the voltmeter to earth at the station, and also through the voltmeter and conductor to earth at the break. Instead of the switch A, two double - contact relays may be operated simultaneously by a third relay, or by an alternating or pulsating current. In another arrangement, a single relay is used having two double insulated contacts mounted on its armature, and a third contact to open the circuit of the relay winding.

Abstract: 28,858. Carter, H. Dec. 15. Winding-machines; stop-motions.-In machines for winding yarn from hanks or the like on to pirns, or for winding yarn from hanks on to spools so as to produce a conical base at the flanged end of the spool, the yarn Y is wound on a pirn or bobbin 3 on a spindle 2, which is mounted in a pivoted bracket 1 and rotated by friction pulleys 7, 7A held in engagement by a catch arm 8. The threadguide 16 is mounted on a bar 15 attached to a feeler spindle 14 which is mounted by means of a bracket 13 on a bar 12 carried by a series of arms 11 and reciprocated by a cam C. The screwed portion of the spindle 14 engages a thin plate 19 and is caused to rotate and move forward by the conical layer of yarn 18 engaging the feeler pulley 17 until the bobbin is full, whereupon a conical enlargement 14<A> comes in contact with the catch arm 8 and, raising the catch, liberates the bracket 1 carrying the rotating spindle, so that the pulleys 7, 7<A> become disengaged and the spindle is stopped. In winding a spool 20, Fig. 4, a supplementary thread-guide 16A is used. This moves through a shorter arc, and at a slower rate, and winds more yarn on the barrel for a short distance as shown at Y, Y. The material thus gradually heaped up engages the feeler 17, which brings into action the thread-guide 16 and completes the winding.
