Title: Improvements in and relating to Mine Exploders.
IPC: F42D1/045
Filed: 1911-05-19
Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 12,145. Sterling Telephone and Electric Co., [Schaffler & Co.]. May 19. Dynamos, driving.-In mine exploders of the type in which the armature is driven by a hand-wound spring, means are provided for releasing the latter only when it is wound to a definite extent, and for preventing forward or backward rotation of the handle until the armature returns to its starting position. The armature spindle b is driven by a pinion d from the gear wheel c, the spindle c of which has a bearing in the hand-driven spindle h and has attached to it one end of a spring f, the other end being fixed. Motion is transmitted from the spindle h to the wheel e by a pawl m, pivoted at s to a disk k, backward motion of which is prevented by a pawl l engaging a fixed ring of ratchet teeth n. The pawl m engages a notch o in a boss p, but toward the completion of a single revolution is withdrawn by the projection w on the pawl striking a wedgeshaped cam u pivoted on the under side of the cover of the exploder. The spring f, being released, then rotates the armature backwards and fires the charge. When the pawl strikes the cam rotation of the latter is prevented by the rim t on the wheel e, and the spindle h is brought to rest by engagement between the projection w and a hook y on the cam o. Backward rotation of the wheel e is limited by stops 2, 3, and when this point is reached a gap z in the rim t is opposite the cam u, permitting it to be rocked by a plate spring on the pawl m, so as to release the projection w from the hook y, and re-engage the pawl m in the notch o.

Title: Improved Manufacture of Titanium Cyano-nitrides and Carbides.
Inventor: PEACOCK SAMUEL
IPC: C01B31/30
Filed: 1912-05-13
Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 11,392. Peacock, S. May 13. Titanium carbides and cyanonitrides.-Higher carbides of titanium of the formulae TiC2 and TiC4 are prepared by heating a titanium compound such as the oxide with carbon under a total pressure not substantially less than two atmospheres while maintaining the partial pressure of the evolved carbon monoxide not substantially higher than 200 mm. of mercury. If the heating is effected in the presence of nitrogen, cyanonitrides of the formulae TiCN2 and TiC2N4 are formed, and by the use of steady flow of nitrogen over the mass the partial pressure of the carbon monoxide is kept within the limits above referred to. It is advantageous to use an amount of carbon in excess of that theoretically necessary.

Granted: 1913-10-31
Abstract: 24,995. Higham, H. W., Risley, P., and Remington Typewriter Co. Oct. 31. Web-feeding arrangements; ink-ribbon mechanism. -The platen a is provided near the end with a reduced part b to receive a tally-strip d and a carbon-paper strip e, the reduced part being provided with two, three or more steps c of letterspace width. The invoice &c. f extends over the tally-strip, the stepped part preventing blurring of the impressions. The tally-strip is led from a spool t<1> round the platen to a spring-drum i, the spool and the drum being supported by a bracket h on the carriage. The actuating-spring of the drum can be wound by means of a screwed spindle j, which passes through a nut provided with adjustable stops adapted to engage collars on the spindle and thereby prevent over-winding of the spring. The tally-strip is secured to the drum by means of a slotted tube rotatable on the drum, the end of the tally-strip being passed through the slot into a groove in the drum and the tube being then rotated to secure the strip. The carbon-paper strip e is led from a rear roller u to a front roller u provided with a ratchet v engaged by a pawl w on a lever w<1> connected by a link x to a bell-crank lever x<1> adapted to be operated by a lever y' arranged near the line-space lever y. The lever w<1> carries a feed-roller d<1> and is connected through linkage g<1>, k<1>, l<1>, m<1> to pivoted grippers j<1>, f which normally engage the tally-strip. The ordinary feed-rollers do not engage the tally-strip and in the normal operation of the machine there is no feed of the tally-strip or the carbon-paper strip. When it is required to space the tally-strip, the lever y<1> is moved sideways, thereby operating the ratchet v, releasing the grippers j<1>, f<1>, and causing the feedroller d<1> to engage the tally-strip. On operating the line-space lever y, the invoice, tally-strip, and carbon-paper strip are fed forward together, the tally-strip being taken up by the spring-drum and the carbon-paper strip forming slack which is taken up at the next operation of the lever y'. Web-cutting arrangements.-The tally-strip can be cut by means of a cutting-device or tearing- edge n<1>, Fig. 2, which acts in conjunction with the gripper j<1>.

Granted: 1913-11-21
Abstract: 26,760. Pedersen, M. Nov. 21. Variable-speed epicyclic gearing suitable for motor and other cycle hubs has means for positively engaging and disengaging a gear such as 36, Fig. 1, in combination with a brake-drum 42 adapted to be automatically disengaged during this engaging operation. The hub shell 23 carries planet gears 26, 35, 33 adapted to turn together on ball bearings. The gear 26 is driven by an internally-toothed ring 1, which is connected through a safety slipping clutch 3 to a driving-sprocket 2. The gear 36 is adapted to slide on a fixed spindle 60 to vary the speed. The gear 36 is always in mesh with the gear 35, which is wide. A central gear 40 meshing with the gear 33 is connected by a ratchet clutch 34 to a sleeve 39, which issecured to the drum 42. In the configuration shown, the gear 36 is connected to the shell 23 by clutch teeth 37. The gear turns solid for the high speed. When the gear 36 is moved to the right to disengage the teeth 37, a ' free engine ' is obtained if the drum 42 is free to turn. If the drum 42 is held by the brake, the clutch 34 operates to hold the gear 40 stationary, and the low speed results. The intermediate speed is effected by sliding the gear 36 to the right until clutch teeth 38 upon it engage teeth on the sleeve 39, and subsequently braking the drum 42. The gear 36 is operated by a rod which slides in the axle 60 and is engaged at its outer end by a pivoted lever 46. The lever 46 and a brakeactuating lever 48, Fig. 2, are operated in unison by a doubly-acting cam 45, so that the drum 42 is free while positive clutches are being engaged. By appropriate alterations, two speeds only, or four speeds, may be obtained.
