Abstract: 23,977. Brooks, B., and Holt, W. Oct. 23. [Cognate Application, 7950/14.] Turning-gear.-The armature shaft 2 of an electric starting-motor is ex tended and screwed, a pinion 3 acting as a nut on the thread. The pinion carries a robber disk 10, and is normally free from teeth 9 fixed or formed on the fly-wheel. When the motor is started, inertia of the pinion is sufficient to cause it to move axially until the disk bears on the fly-wheel; the friction between the disk and the fly - wheel then causes complete engagement of the pinion. A spring 5 acts as a buffer to the axial movement of the pinion. When the engine picks up speed, the pinion being moved out of gear, a light torsion spring 12 assists to keep the pinion disengaged. In a modification the screw-threads are replaced by a block 14, Fig. 4, on a shaft on which a pinion is fixed and a groove 15 in the armature shaft. When the electric motor is to be used as a generator, a friction-wheel 10, Fig. 4, integral with the pinion may be used to co-act with the wheel 19 on the engine shaft. The pinion may have worm teeth -or be replaced by a friction-wheel. Specification 4817/14 is referred to.

Abstract: 775. Johnson, L. E. Jan. 10. Boot-sole sewing-machines; presser-bars, lifting and locking.-The presser 150 is carried by a bar 112 sliding in a guideway 145x on a cam-actuated lever 143. A spring 153 tends to keep the presser in contact with the work, and, when the cam-lever is actuated to force the presser on to the work, the presser moves with the lever, because the bar 112 is jammed in its guideway by reason of the tilting caused by the pressure of the work. A pinion 144 mounted in the lever 143 meshes with teeth on the bar 112, and, in order to lift the presser automatically when the lever 143 is suitably actuated, the pinion is frictionally locked by the lateral pressure of a cam-lever which engages it periodically, and thereby the action of the spring 153 is suspended. The presser may also be lifted by the use of a hand-lever 159 integral with the pinion. Governing needle-thread; lock-stitching by shuttles.-The needle-thread passes over two thread-measuring devices. One is of constant action and comprises a pin 105 on a lever 106 and a stationary pin 110. The other varies its effective stroke according to the thickness of the work and comprises a pair of thread-guides in the arms of a bifurcated extension of the presser-bar 112 and an intermediate pin 113 carried by the lever 106. The thread passes from these devices into the wax-pot 120 and thence to the take-up and the threading- looper. The threading-looper is pivoted upon trunnions extending laterally from a short shaft and is formed integral with a cam-lever responding both to a face-cam and to a camgroove.

Abstract: 945. BÚraud, J. E. H. Jan. 23, 1913, [Convention date]. Mercury switches for closing a circuit for a definite interval of time by pressing and releasing a push-button are constituted by two vessels b, c, containing mercury, a communicating channel a<2> filled with mercury, a contactscrew c<2> extending into the smaller vessel, and a movable air-bell d capable of sliding up and down in the large vessel. When the pushbutton i<2> is forced inwards, an inclined surface i acting on a guided spring-controlled rod g<1> raises the bell out of the mercury and allows it to become filled with air. When the pushbutton is released, the bell falls, and the contained air forces the mercury up in the vessel c, thereby closing the circuit at the contactscrew c<2>. Air slowly escapes from the bell d through an opening e covered by a porous washer, and allows the mercury to return to its original lever and re-open the circuit after a certain time. The time is adjusted by varying the height of the contact-screw c<2> or by employing washers of different porosity. A quick switching-off when required may be obtained by the employment of a spring-controlled member for normally holding the porous washer in place and a second button for raising the member to allow the air to escape freely from the airbell d.
