Granted: 1912-01-11
Abstract: 10,370. Maddrell, J. T. K. April 28. Lubricating.-A device for lubricating ropes, such as winding and haulage ropes for cages and skips in collieries and mines, mine-cage guideropes, &c. comprises a tub A containing grease through which the rope passes, either the tub or the rope being stationary. A hole in the bottom of the tub to receive the rope is provided with a recess containing a split packing- ring of canvas, rubber, &c. Superfluous oil is wiped from the rope by a similar ring carried by a holder G carried by arms I hinged to the tub A. To enable the device to be applied to the rope, the tub and the holder G are each made in two parts, connected together by clamps N, Q. The tub is either supported on stationary planks T, or is carried by the moving cage &c. When applied to flat ropes, the holes through which the rope passes are suitably elongated.

Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 21,905. Deursen, C. W., van, and Kneppers, J. Oct. 4. Propelling by water jets. - In propelling vessels in air or water, an open-ended cylinder k furnished with radial vanes b is rotated so as to carry with it the enclosed fluid. Owing to centrifugal action, the fluid tends to escape axially from both ends, but it is checked by the ring- shaped disk a, which may be adjusted so as to block the peripheral flow at either end a, a', or at any intermediate point a<11>, thus varying the direction and rate of propulsion. In a modification, it is the cylinder that is axially adjustable. The apparatus may be lightened by providing double walls enclosing gas.

Inventor: HITCHON ALFRED
IPC: D01H1/20
Filed: 1912-01-20
Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 26,482. Hitchon, A. Jan. 20, 1912. Driving - arrangements; stop - motions. - A twospeed driving - arrangement for spinning, twisting, and winding frames comprises two pulleys 1, 3, of which the pulley 1 is keyed to the shaft and serves for the slow drive, and the other pulley 3 is loose on the shaft and serves as the loose pulley and also, when moved so to be clutched to the pulley 1, for the fast drive. The belt-fork lever 8 and a lever 30 are operated by cam-tracks 11, 33 to move the belt and to connect or disconnect the pulleys 1, 3 in the desired sequence, the tracks being arranged so that the loose pulley is moved to clutch with the fast pulley only when it is not engaged by the strap and thus is not under load. The cam - tracks are formed in a disk fast on a shaft 12 driven from a part of the frame through a friction drive, which may slip when the rotation of the shaft is arrested by reason of projections 13 on the cam-disk engaging with stop-levers 23, 35. The stop-levers are operated to release the shaft by means of stops 26, 36, 38 arranged on a rod 27 reciprocated by the rocking shaft 29 which is oscillated and moved about its centre in unison with the build of the cop or bobbin. The shaft 12 may be operated by the handle 39, when the lug 22 is liberated, to set the mechanism as may be desired upon starting the frame or at any other time. Specifications 4779/08 and 7158/08 are referred to.

Granted: 1913-04-24
Abstract: 15,415. Cox, R. H. July 2. Insects, destroying; insect traps.-In an apparatus for catching or destroying flies wasps, &c., the insect is caught or destroyed by the action of a spring loop or wire net which, when actuated by a trigger, flies over with a flail-like action on or around the insect, which is compressed or enclosed against the object the insect is resting on. In its simplest form, Fig. 14, the ends of the spring loop h, which may have various forms, are wound round and secured to a pin p, which is passed through slots e in the side members a' of the frame, and which is provided at its centre with a disk g, by turning which the force of the blow may be regulated. The trigger i, formed of wire as shown in Fig. 8, has secured thereto a small tube through which and slots f passes a pin n, the curved portion of the trigger resting against a second pin o. The portion b of the frame forms a handle, and, when not in use, the loop h is held by a split ring 3. In the form shown in Fig. 10, the frame j of sheet metal is provided with two pairs of uprights k for the trigger and pin p, which passes through a tube p<1> supporting the 'loop h, and also with grooves j<1> in which slides a secondary frame q. The ends of the loop h are secured to a curved projection t on the frame q, which also has a projecting pin r to engage apertures l on the frame j to regulate the force of the blow. The trigger i passes through a slot m in the frame j. In another form, the ends of the loop h are connected by a wire to an adjustable piece fixed upon the trigger or to a hook on the trigger, the tension of this wire in the latter case being adjusted by a movable crutch placed between the members a<1> of the frame. For transport purposes, shields, with slots near the hinge for the triggers, are hinged to the frame, and when in position almost completely cover the loop or striker h.
