Abstract: 13,017. Chilton, C. B. June 3. Winding-mechanism; tune-sheets; trackerbars.-The tune-sheet travels horizontally to facilitate reading the music, which is printed on it in the staff notation, and is driven from the motor through an arrangement of chain and spur gearing during the winding movement, and through chain gearing during rewinding. The words of a song may also be printed on the tune-sheet. The music may be read from perforations provided with suitable tails or appendages. The tracker-ducts may be divided into two sets corresponding to the treble and bass staves, additional ducts being provided to correspond with the notes on the leger-lines. The additional ducts may be rendered operative by branch connexions with the pneumatics. The tune-sheet e is adapted to be wound in an horizontal direction from the delivery-spool d to the take-up roll b, motion being transmitted from the motor g through the vertical shaft h, clutchmembers k, m, chain m<1>, shaft m<3>, pinion m<4> and spur-wheel m<5> to the roll b. As shown, the spool d, roll b and tracker-bar a are vertically arranged. The flanges b<2> on the roll b guide the tune-sheet. To rewind, the clutch-member k is moved by the link k<3>, bell-crank k<1>, and link k<2> to engage the member l, causing the spool d to be driven at high speed through the chain l<1>.

Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 20,495. Brewer, R. W. A., and Jones, G. H. Sept. 9. [Cognate Application, 22,518/12.] Spray carburettors.- Variable - leverage mechanism is arranged between the air and fuel valves so that the ratio between their movements may be varied. In the form shown in Fig. 1, an eccentric ridge R on the floating air - valve E bears against a lever P, pivoted at Q, which by means of its toe S lifts the needle valve M controlling the spraying- orifice. To alter the ratio between the lifts of the valves, the airvalve E is rotated by means of a sleeve U', rotatable from outside bv the milled head X, and having a pin-and-slot connexion with the valve. This causes the eccentric ridge R to engage different points of the lever P. The fuelnozzle G is adjustable in height by means of a nut h and socket k at its lower end. A flange T on the needle carrier U deflects the issuing fuel, and a preliminary air supply enters through holes N, N in the valve E. A lever for raising the air-valve by hand may be provided. In the form shown in Fig. 3, a similar leverage mechanism is provided, but the fuel-nozzle G opens within a hollow extension F of the air-valve containing a choke-tube J. The air-valve is rotated by means of the sleeve U, which has fingers Y engaging slots Z in the valve. It is operated by a lever c having spring fingers d with spherical tips engaging an annular groove in it. Undesired rotation of the air-valve is prevented by the spherical tips engaging a series of depressions at the bottom of this groove, or by depressions g<1> on the ridge R into which the lever P falls.

Title: An Improved Gyroscope which may be used in Combination with a Non-magnetic Compass or with other Instrument or Apparatus.
Inventor: KLAHN EMIL
IPC: G01C19/38
Filed: 1912-12-17
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 29,082. Klahn, E. Dec. 17. Gyroscopic apparatus.-Gyroscopic means for maintaining the position of a member pointing to any predetermined point of the compass, irrespective of change of latitude or longitude and of the rotation of the earth, comprises a gyroscope so mounted as to be unaffected by gravity and with a full degree of freedom about one horizontal axis 21 only, the torque required to turn it about the vertical axis being greater, however, than the torque required to tilt it about the horizontal axis perpendicular to the first-mentioned, i.e. the frictional resistance of the adjustable tension band 24 to turning of the axle 15, carrying the indicating - member 29, is greater than the resistance offered by the spring members 28 through the rods 27 to tilting of the gyroscope about the trunnions 81 in the frame 14. The frame 13 being mounted in gimbals as usual, the indicating-member 29 is maintained in the horizontal plane and the effect of change of latitude or longitude is nothing, as the resultant precession of the gyroscope in the vertical plane is suppressed by the springs 28, which are of sufficient strength to supply the torque required to tilt the gyroscope about the axis 81 but are not sufficiently strong to supply the torque required to cause the gyroscope to turn about the vertical axis, so that no horizontal precession is caused. The small horizontal couple resulting from the rotation of the earth is also insufficient to turn the gyroscope about the vertical axis. The gyroscope and the indicating-member controlled thereby are therefore isolated from all directive forces except one of predetermined source and effect, namely, that due to turning of the ship in azimuth, the effect of which is to cause a precession of the gyroscope in the vertical plane, from which precession the springs 28 return the gyroscope without being able to effect a further precession about the vertical axis, so that the position of the indicating- member is unaffected.

Granted: 1915-07-22
Abstract: 17,809. Hill, T. July 28. Bottles and like vessels, washing.-Comprises a construction of bottle-soaking machine of the kind in which the bottles are placed in peripheral cells on a drum rotating about an horizontal axis. In the present apparatus, the cells are formed of bent metal strips secured between two rings B<1>, B<2>, each of which is secured by spokes to a separate boss mounted on the shaft B. The cells are constructed with bentup portions c<3>, Fig. 5, at their inner ends which support the mouths of the bottles without closing them. The outer ends of the cells are closed partly by flaps c' which leave a peripheral opening c<2> for the insertion of the bottles. One side of the cells is closed by flaps c<4> while the other is open to permit the lateral discharge of the bottles. The cells are inclined so that the bottles tend to roll towards the delivery side. In operation, the bottles are placed on an inclined stand H and pushed into the cells of the machine in turn. The machine is turned by hand through the medium of extensions of some of the spokes b<1> of the outer wheel. A ratchet mechanism L prevents backward rotation of the wheel, while the pawl of a similar reversed ratchet mechanism on the other side of the machine is connected to the lever K<1>, so that, by pulling the lever, the machine is released for forward movement. The machine is thus locked during the operation of inserting and removing bottles. The bottles are retained in the cells while passing through the tank by a peripheral ring G covering the feeding openings and by an end plate E covering the exit openings. At the discharge point a plate N, Fig. 6, is inserted into the cells in turn so as to slide on one wall. By grasping and pulling the hanging weight N<3>, the plate ejects the soaked bottles and forms a temporary stop for the newly-inserted bottles until they pass beyond the discharge gap in the plate E. The bottles roll from the discharge openings into a shallow tank and afterwards are placed on a brushing-apparatus.
