Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Winding Conducting Wires for Electric Blasting Fuses into Skeins.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: H01F41/06
Filed: 1912-09-09
Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 20,560. Lake, W. E., [Fabrik Elektrischer Zunder Ges.]. Sept. 9. Reeling-machines.-In a machine for winding the current-conducting wires of electric fuses into skeins, the wires are wound several times around two or more pins by means of a suitable winding-arm; one pair of ends of the two wires is then spirally wound around the skein thus formed, and the opposite ends to which the electric fuse is to be attached are twisted together. The wires are led from reels a, Fig. 1, over pulleys b, and between rolls d, which at intervals grip the wires and remove therefrom the insulation, to the nozzle e of the winding-arm f. The arm f is operated by a crank g and guided by a block k to lay the wires round the pins i<1>, i<2>, which are mounted upon an intermittently-rotated table l. When a number of turns of wire have been wound around the pins, a pair of shears m are lowered to sever the wires, and the table is moved through a quarter of a revolution by means of a pawl l<3>, Fig. 7, carried by a driven disk l<4> and raised to engage the table l by a camplate l<5>. The severed ends 4 of wire are then seized by grippers 5, which are advanced by a device o guided in a spiral path in such a manner as to twist the ends 4 round the skein. The table is next rotated through another quarter of a revolution and the ends 3 are twisted together by a device p. This device is reciprocated in a slide q and driven through toothed gearing with a ratchet interposed so that the grippers 9 which seize the ends 3 are only rotated on the return journey. The skein is then removed from the pins by arms which are raised by bell-crank levers r moved from the main shaft of the machine.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for the Production of Vacua.
Inventor: REES EDMUND SCOTT GUSTAVE
IPC: F01B25/00
Filed: 1912-11-15
Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 26,307. Rees, E. S. G. Nov. 15. Condenser systems; jet condensers.-Relates to vacuum pumps of the kind described in Specifications 4810/06, 23,696/08, [both in Class 102, Pumps &c.], and 22,490/06, 21,555/09, and 24,436/10, [both in Class 110 (i), Centrifugal and screw fans &c.], for use with condensers &c. The eye a, Fig. 9, of a double impeller is in communication with the hot-well c or boiler feed tank of the condensing- plant through a pipe b, while the eye a<1> on the opposite side communicates through a pipe b<1> with the lowest point of the condenser casing h. The impeller, Figs. 1, 3, and 4, discharges through holes e forming pairs of nozzles which direct the water in fan-shaped streams across a space f, which communicates through a pipe g with the space to be evacuated. Alternate pairs of nozzles e are arranged on alternate sides of the central plane, Fig. 4. The water with entrained air and vapour is received by the ducts i of an ejector-wheel, the crosssectional area of these ducts becoming a minimum at the part i<0> and remaining constant throughout the part i<2> to the discharge ends, which communicate with a stationary diffuser j. The water from both impellers is delivered through a pipe l into the hot-well c, which supplies the pipe b and impeller eye a. This is the main supply to the impeller and is independent of the quantity of colder water drawn from the condenser and supplied to the eye a<1>, which delivers through a relatively small number of pairs of nozzles e into the space f. The hot-water impeller may be replaced by a stationary ring of nozzles to which water is supplied under pressure. A steam-jet vacuumintensifier or augmenter of a known kind may be placed in the connexion g; or a cooler n, Fig. 9, may be interposed in the connexion b<1> in order to cool the supply from the condenser, an additional set of ejector blades o, Fig. 6, being provided in this case to increase the pressure on the side a<1> up to the value on the side a, so that uniform pressure exists in the space q in front of the second ring of ejector blades o<1>. An alternative arrangement is indicated in Fig. 7. In the case of jet condensers, the cold condensing-water may pass through the air-pump side of the impeller first, and, after being discharged into a separate tank or into the hot-well where the air is separated, the water may be passed through the second impeller, the sprayed water from which is used to condense the steam.

The disk b is secured rigidly to the shaft, and has an extended boss b<2> which is furnished with longitudinal slots acting as guides for the sliding disk c. The disks b, c are pressed toward each other by springs f<3> acting between cups f on the disk c and pins e fixed in the disk b. A short shaft g, co-axial with the shaft a, is fixed to the centre of the disk c within the boss b<2> of the disk b. Ball bearings g<2>, g<3> are mounted around the shaft g. The ring g<3> supports a quick-pitched nut h having two pedals h<1>, h<2> and engaging an external thread upon a non- rotating sleeve i supported by the ball bearing i'. By operating the pedals, the sleeve i is moved longitudinally and with it the shaft g and clutch disk c. The casing j may be employed as an oil bath. For the purpose of lubrication the disk c may be provided with a channel c<3> into which oil may be fed by a suitable nozzle. From the channel c<3> the oil passes to the clutch faces by suitable passages c<5>. The drive is transmitted from the countershaft by chainwheels a<1>, a<2> keyed to bosses k<1>, k<2>, which are mounted between ball bearings and provided on their adjacent faces with teeth k<3>, either set of which may be engaged by a dog clutch l keyed to the shaft a. The bosses k<1>, k<2> are maintained at a suitable distance apart by internal flanges on the casing l<1>. The gear may be adjusted by adapting the ball race a<4> to screw on the end of the shaft a. To provide for the starting of the engine, the lock-nut n of the ball race a<4> is provided with lateral ratchet teeth n<2> engaging a similar set o<1> on a pinion o rotatably mounted on the countershaft and maintained in engagement with the lock-nut n by a spring o<2>. Parallel with the countershaft and mounted in a bracket p is a stud p<1> carrying a rotatably-mounted toothed segment p<2> for engagement with the pinion o. The segment is adapted to be partly rotated by a crank p<3> and pedal p<4> but is normally kept out of engagement with the pinion o by a spiral spring p<5>. In place of the chain drive described above, expanding belt-pulleys may be employed.
