Granted: 1910-05-02
Abstract: 7754. Kallmann, M. July 18, 1908, [Convention date]. Testing meters ; resistances.-Meters are tested by switching iron resistances of the type described in Specification 22,544/05 in series or in parallel so as to maintain through the series coil of the instrument a current of known strength within small fluctations of the voltage of the given circuit. The load circuit is made up exclusively or almost exclusively of iron resistances Va, Fig. 1, of different current capacities, which may be switched in in series by independent switches a when the positive and negative leads are connected to the outside wires A, B, or in parallel when the switch c is closed and the negative lead is connected to the middle wire. When a watt-hour meter is to be tested, the shunt coil is connected between a point x and the negative main, using an additional circuit made up of a buffer resistance V
 and constant resistances WI, WII, R, the last being regulatable. The connexion to the negative main is made by a coupling b, for a 110 - volt circuit, or by a coupling c for a 220-volt circuit, using the resistance WII for the circuit of higher pressure.

Abstract: 5140. Buscher, H. March 1. Braiding-machines.-Relates to the provision of appliances for temporarily bringing the bobbins to rest and for subsequently pushing them into engagement with the drivers, in a sequence determined by the jacquard. Each arresting device comprises a plate 5 with an upwardly - directed bobbin - engaging end 6, mounted on a vertically - movable rod 9 and guided by a stationary pin 10. Each bobbin normally comes to rest at the stopping-place, the track plates being flattened to prevent the drivers 7 from reaching the arrested bobbins. When a bobbin is to be put into work the rod 9 is depressed by the jacquard, releasing the lower end of the bobbin stem 3; at the same time a pawl 13, pivoted to the upper end of the rod, and resting on a support 16, pushes the bobbin into engagement with the driver. An alternative form of pusher comprises a sliding plate connected to the rod 9 by a bell-crank and in another form a roller on a projecting arm attached to the rod 9 runs on an inclined surface mounted on the base of the bobbin-carrier. The rods 9 after being released by the jacquard are returned by cams 18 on the hubs of the gear-wheels 17 acting on projections 19, and by springs 11.

Abstract: 7658. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. March 27. Naval mountings.-Relates to rack-and-pinion elevating-gear for heavy guns, of the kind in which two or more guns are elevated simultaneously, and in which means are provided for correcting the elevation of one or more of the guns for muzzle-velocity differences between the guns. According to the invention, the rangesetting hand - wheel of the sights controls, through mechanism such as is described below, the hunting-valve of an hydraulic apparatus, which apparatus adjusts the positions of the gun-elevating pinions upon spiral or inclined keys, relatively to the cross-connected elevating shafts, in accordance with the muzzle-velocity difference between the guns. In the construction shown in side elevation in Fig. 1, and in under-plan in Fig. 5, the sight-elevating handwheels D' of the guns are connected by chain- and-sprocket gearing with shafts E<Î> which are parallel to the cross-connected shafts C of the gun - elevating pinions C<1> and provided with clutches E<ÎÎ> by which either of the shafts may be made to rotate a cam-disk E through bevelgearing e<Î>, e<ÎÎ>. The cam-groove e in the disk E rocks a lever E', pivoted at e<1>, and through a rod E<1Î>, lever E<2>, and rod f actuates a valve f<1> controlling the liquid supply to two fixed hydraulic cylinders F. The piston-rods F<1> of the cylinder F are rigidly connected to crossheads F<2> carried by the sleeves of the pinions C'. The lever E<2> is pivoted to one cross-head, and the rod E<1Î> is connected to the lever E<1> by a block e<2Î>, which block is adjustable in a groove e<3> in the lever E<1> in accordance with a scale of muzzle-velocity differences graduated thereon. When, therefore, the range-setting operation is performed at one of the sighting-stations, the valve f<1> is opened, and the rods F<1>, cross-heads F<2>, and pinions C<1>, are moved until the valve is again closed by the relative motion between the lever E<2> and the cross-head to which it is pivoted. Separate cam-disks E may be provided for increases and decreases of muzzle velocity, or the point of attachment of the rod E<1Î> to the lever E<1> may be transferred to the other side of the pivot e'. The sighting-apparatus D may be of the kind described in Specification 2923/11, [Class 92(ii), Ordnance &c..].
