Abstract: 10,989. Robinson & Son, T., Robinson, C. J., and Stevenson, T. J. May 6. Roller mills. - The pivoted feedgate of a roller mill is arranged so that it may be raised without disturbing the adjustment, to free it from accumulation of lumps &c in the hopper, and so that it will not open more than a desired distance whatever the weight of the material in the hopper. The gate 5, Figs. 1 and 4, which is suspended from arms or blocks 6 on a shaft 7 supported in bearings 8, can be raised by a lever 9 to allow lumps of flour &c. to pass, and, to ensure its return to the adjusted position, an eye or boss 12 on the lever is engaged by a screw 10, Fig. 5, with lock-nuts 11. A bell-crank lever 18 on the shaft 7 limits the maximum opening of the gate; one end of the lever carries a roller 20 bearing against the gate, and the other end carries a spring 21 adjustable by a set-screw 22, which contacts with the lower end of a screw 23 in the casing 1 and limits the movement of the gate. One of the blocks 6 may be loose on the shaft 7, and be independently adjustable as to height by means of a screw 13 passing through a fixed bracket 14 on the shaft and bearing on an arm 15 on the block 6, and the bearing 8 at one end of the shaft 7 is adjustable horizontally by set-screws 16 to ensure exact parallelism of the lower edge of the gate with the roller 4, or both blocks may be fixed to the shaft, and the bearings 8 be adjustable both vertically and horizontally.

Title: Device for Indicating and Cashing Billiard Fees.
Inventor: BUFFULINI VATTORIO
Filed: 1911-12-01
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 26,915. Buffulini, V., and Rottenbacher, R. Dec. 1. Hiring billiard tables. -Relates to a device for indicating and cashing the fees to be paid for the use of a billiard table, and comprises an arrangement whereby, upon the removal of the billiard balls from a receptacle, the indicating hands are automatically coupled to, and driven by, clockwork until the amount indicated at any particular time is inserted into the cash-box and the balls are replaced in the receptacle. The balls normally rest on,. and depress, spring-pressed plungers 28, but when the balls are removed the plungers rise and allow a cylindrical casing 16 to be rotated by a weight 38. This rotation slides a clock-work mechanism 8 into frictional engagement with the arbors of two money-indicating hands 12, 13, and allows two spring-pressed and electricallyinsulated slides 32 to obstruct the common exit G of two coin shoots. The two hands 12, 13 rotate over dials 9, 10 and touch successively studs 11, connected electrically with two series of electro-magnets 41 arranged near the two coin shoots. Each electro-magnet 41, when energized, draws back a projection 40 from obstructing the coin shoot. Electro-magnets 42, energized at the proper moment, return the obstructions. At the end of the game, the amount indicated on the dials is inserted in the coin slots, and a press-button 44 operated, whereupon the circuit is closed through an electro-magnet 24, which withdraws a pawl 23 from a ratchet-wheel 21 mounted on the spindle of the cylindrical casing 16, Fig. 1. The casing 16 may now be rotated to the open position shown, by means of a handle, and the balls may be replaced. The rotation allows the clockwork 8 to be withdrawn from the indicating- hands by means of a spring 15, and also draws back the slides 32. On replacing the balls, the plungers 28 lock the casing in the open position. The hands fall into the vertical position shown, and the apparatus is in readiness for further use. Coin action, electric-connexion and multiplecoin.-The coins rest edge to edge on the first unretracted projection 40 in each shoot and touch contact-pieces 50, 53. The operator then depresses a frame 43 by means of a pressbutton 44, thus connecting the contact-piece 49 of the electro-magnets 41 and establishing a circuit through the coins and the magnets 41, resulting in the withdrawal of the obstructions 40. The coins fall on to the slide 32 and complete the circuit of the electro-magnet 24. Coin-discharging mechanism.-The withdrawal of the slides 32 permits the coins to pass to the money-box.

The tube 3, doffed from the mandrel 4, is received in the trough 1 of an elevator 2, by which it is raised as shown in Fig. 2. An horizontally-reciprocating conveyer 15, having one or more grooves E, F, G, is moved forward and receives the tube from the elevator 2 in one of the grooves. The action is repeated until a tube has been placed in each of the grooves. The tubes are then transferred to a chain conveyer 30, the links of which have grooves on one side corresponding to the grooves of the conveyer 15, and are flat on the other side. The chain 30 conveys the tubes with an intermittent movement through a drying- chamber 31 and finally delivers them into a receptacle 46. The tubes are kept from touching one another on the chair conveyer by metal guides 32 and wires 33. Guides 34 prevent endlong movement of the tubes. The elevator 2 is operated by a cable 5 connected to a cam-oscillated lever 7. The movements of the convever 15 are governed by a cam 20 with working faces corresponding to the number of grooves in the conveyers 15, 30. The conveyer 30 is operated by a single-tooth pinion 42 driven by gearwheels 22, 23, 35, 36, 38, 39.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Controlling Arrangements for Electric Cranes.
IPC: B66C13/54
Filed: 1912-04-04
Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 8158. Siemens-Schuckertwerke. April 12, 1911, [Convention date]. Controllers, actuating-mechanism for; electric braking.-To prevent any undesirable movement of the load suspended by a crane, the controller of the crane motor is provided with means by which the circuits of the motor and brake magnet are energized and de-energized when the position of the controller is such that the torque due to the motor is equal to that due to the load. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the circuits of the series motor p, q and of the brake magnet o are controlled by a multi-pole switch i, k operated by a handle h through a rod u against the action of a spring v, which opens the switch when the handle is released in such a position that the rod u may enter one of the notches in a locking-bar t. The direction of rotation of the motor armature g is controlled by a movable contact b and contact-bars d, e; and the resistance in series with the motor is varied by a movable contact c, contact-bar f, and contacts g. When it is required to lift a load from the ground, the handle h is depressed, thereby closing the mutipole switch i, k and releasing the bar u. On moving the handle h to the right, the contact b closes the circuit of the motor, and the contact c moving over the contacts g accelerates the motor by reducing the resistance in series with it. When the load has been raised to the desired height, the handle is moved to the left until, in one of the positions 4, 3, 2, 1, the torque of the motor exactly balances the torque due to the load, in which position the handle is released to break the motor and brake circuits at the contacts m, l. After the load has been moved horizontally, the handle h is again depressed to make the motor and brake circuits, and since the motor torque exactly balances the load torque, no movement of the load occurs. If it is desired to raise the load further, the handle h is moved towards the right; and to lower the load the handle h is moved towards the left. To accelerate the lowering of light loads, the handle h is moved to either of the positions -1, -2, -3 until the load nears the ground, whereupon a braking action is applied by moving the handle to the right of the zero position O. In a modified form of the controller shown in Fig. 2, the handle h is given a circular motion, and is locked in the desired position by means of a notched plate w and an arm attached to the handle h. In the further modification shown in Fig. 3, the motor and brake magnet circuits are made by operating a handle h<2>, which simultaneously releases a detent h<3> from a notch in the plate h<4> connected to the regulating-arm h<1>. The detent n<3> may be pressed into engagement with the plate h<4> by means of a spring v,
