Filed: 1912-05-13
Granted: 1913-04-24
Abstract: 11,381. Richards, J. T., and Edwards, A. May 13. Rotary stirrers.-In a jacketed cheese vat, shafts 8, 13, Fig. 1, on which stirring-paddles 4, 14 are arranged, are driven in opposite directions by chain gearing 15 from a main shaft 11, the chain-tension being adjusted by a jockey sprocket-wheel 16 having an adjusting-screw 17. The shafts 8, 13 pass through the jacketed vessei within a packing-sleeve 19, Fig. 3, provided with a nut 20 by which the walls 2, 3 are tightened against rubber or like washers 22, 23, between which a distance-piece 21 is placed. A gland 24 makes a joint between the sleeve and the shaft. The end of the shaft has a squared projection 18, on which fits a recess on the paddle, or the socket may be on the shaft and the projection on the paddle. At the other side, the paddle carries a socket in which slides a pin which enters a bearing on the container and is clamped by a screw. In another form, a journal on the paddle enters a bearing 5, Fig. 4, with a hinged top portion 6 held by a spring catch 7. Instead of perforating the wall of the vat, the gearing and paddles can be mounted on a frame and supported within the vat. Bevel or spur gearing may be substituted for the chain. According to the Provisional Specification, each shaft may be chain geared to an auxiliary shaft, one of the auxiliary shafts being driven, and connected to the other by gearing. The bearing at the rear of the paddle may take the form of a spring bolt on the paddle, which can be snapped into a socket on the container.

Abstract: 15,495. Boult, A. J., [Winslow, S. W.]. July 4. [Addition to 9475/10.] Boot-sote sewing machines; chain-stitching; governing needle thread. - Relates to machines as described in the parent Specification, and consists in (1) relieving the supply end of the thread during the operation of the loopshortener, by actuating the take-up to give up thread to the loop, and (2) in an improved construction of loop-shortener. The invention is described as embodied in a machine of the type described in Specification 13,366/88, the usual auxiliary take-up being omitted and a tension device provided which exerts a heavy tension from the last portion of the loopdrawing stroke of the needle until just before the take-up completes its taking-up stroke, and a light tension during the remainder of the cycle. The loop-shortener 61 now consists of a cylindrical rod 67, Fig. 3, bifurcated to form a notch to receive and push against both sides of the needle loop, Fig. 10. The rod 67 is clamped in a socket 68 on an arm 69 extending from a slide 70 extending forwards and downwards towards the stitching point. The slide 70 is actuated from a cam-oscillated lever 73, a bearing 74 in which carries a rod 75 having a bearing 76 receiving a rod 77 on the slide 70. The take-up consists of a cam-actuated lever, which gives up thread on its downward stroke, and is operated to deliver, during the loop-shortening action, just sufficient thread to permit the pusher to deflect the loop and still keep the supply end taut. The ordinary take-up movement is arranged to start with the downward movement of the needle.

Granted: 1915-02-04
Abstract: 7451. Girardeau, E. April 1, 1913, [Convention date]. Electric oscillations, producing; dischargegap apparatus. -The length of an arc employed for the production of high-frequency oscillations is regulated by an electric motor M, Fig. 1, controlled by two relays R<1>, R<2>, which are in series with the arc and are adapted to act at slightly different current values. When the main current is below the minimum value desirable, the armatures of both magnets are released as shown and rest against contacts b, d, the motor armature being thereby connected to a source of current S so as to bring the electrodes nearer together. If the maximum permissible main current is exceeded, both magnet armatures are attracted and rest against contacts a, c, so as to send current through the motor armature in the direction required for separating the electrodes. For main currents between the limits referred to, one magnet armature is attracted and the other released, so that the motor armature is shortcircuited. A magneto-motor may be used, the source of current S being a battery; or the contacts a, b, c, d may be connected to the ends of a resistance in series with the arc, and a field coil carrying the whole or a part of the main current may then be provided. One electrode may be a cylinder T, Fig. 2, with a passage for supplying water, oil, or other liquid to the arc, and placed above the thickened rim of an horizontal disk P forming the other electrode; there may be a circular groove in the rim. The disk electrode is on a vertical screw V passing through a stationary nut and geared to the regulating-motor; in practice, the disk turns substantially uniformly.
