Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 27,907. Marks, E. C. R., [Herrmann, E. W. F.]. Dec. 12. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrangement and construction of; propelling.- The main plane of a flying - machine is constructed with a central opening and with lateral portions adjustable about diagonal axes extending from about the middle of the front edge to the ends of the rear edge. The frame 3, Fig. 3, of the plane 1 comprises rigid members extending from the middle of the front edge to the ends of the rear edge, and other members extending from the first-mentioned members to the centre of the rear edge, and a rectangular or other shaped frame bounding the central opening 2. To the rectangular frame are hinged bars 5, 6, 7, 8 for warping the wing tips, these bars being normally inclined upwardly and outwardly to form a dihedral angle at the front edge of the plane. The centre of the plane is somewhat elevated at the rear to form an inverted dihedral, Fig. 4. The plane may be composed of oil silk, impregnated cotton, rubber sheeting, &c. The machine is further provided with a superposed plane 45, an elevator 37 and rudder 39 at the rear, and a pair of screw propellers 46. In modifications, the superposed plane may be of the same form as the plane 1, except that it is fixed and of dihedral formation, and has its longer dimension in the line of flight; or the main plane may be octagonal in plan, the aperture being also octagonal, and the rear part of inverted-dihedral form. Steering and balancing.-Special apparatus is provided for warping the lateral extremities of the main plane 1, Fig. 1, or lateral sections of an octagonal plane, in the same or opposite directions, and the machine is provided with a rear elevator 37 having an aperture 38, and with a rudder 39 operated by cords 40 passing to a hand-wheel 43. Moreover, the middle portion of the rear edge of the plane 1 may be adjustable in order to decrease the inverted dihedral angle. The extremities of the plane 1 are provided with arms 5, 6, 7, 8 each hinged intermediately to the rigid framework 3 bounding the central aperture of the plane, the two arms at each side being connected together at their inner ends and by links 14, Fig. 2<a>, to pulleys 16, which are connected by bands 18 to pulleys 19, 20 on the spindle 21 of the operating hand-wheel 23. The pulley 20 is fixed to the spindle, whereas the pulley 19 is loose thereon and is connected to a loose bevel-wheel 28, which gears with a fixed bevel-wheel 24 through a third wheel 25 mounted on a frame 27 adapted to rotate round the spindle. This frame 27 is locked against rotation by a foot-operated catch 30 when it is desired to warp the extremities oppositely; whereas, for warping in the same direction, the catch 30 is released and the bevelwheels are prevented from rotating relatively to each other by a pawl 33, which is mounted on the frame 27 and engages a ratchet formed on the bevel-wheel 32.

Granted: 1912-09-19
Abstract: 28,948. Lake, H. W., [Mosby, A. D., and Capron, H. M.]. Dec. 22. Tyres, non-elastic.-A circular track or tyre for a rotating body such as a rotary mixing- drum is made by bending a steel rail of ordinary railroad section into circular shape. This is effected by passing the rail in known manner between three rollers, one of which is raised between every two passes. To prevent the rail from warping and buckling in.the process, the rollers are formed as shown in Fig. 2. The upper roll A is formed with a core a of smaller diameter than the outer parts so that the flange of the rail D is guided laterally. The lower roll B is also formed with a core b<1> of such size that the effective bearing is on the flange of the rail, the bulb of the rail clearing or only just touching the core b<1>. The side pieces of the roll B also give lateral guidance to the bulb and web of the rail. The rolls flatten the flange of the rail so as to facilitate drilling rivet holes. In order to avoid irregularities of curvature at the ends of the rail, a larger piece is rolled than required. The two ends are made to overlap and are then cut off, as indicated in Fig. 3, and the rail is then sprung into position.

Granted: 1913-04-21
Abstract: 1664. Tanne, J., and Oberlõnder, G. June 2, 1911, [Convention date]. Paraffin, extracting and purifying.-Paraffin and like wax is extracted from mineral oil residues, tars, goudrons, and viscous and semiviscous material products by dissolving these materials with the aid of heat in low-boiling liquid paraffins or coal tar oil containing benzol or its homologues, alone or in admixture, allowing the solution to cool, and filtering or otherwise separating the paraffin wax from the solution containing the liquid, greasy, and asphaltic bodies. The material may, in addition, be treated with carbon tetrachloride or other halogen substitution derivative of a hydrocarbon, with or without acetic or other lower fatty acid. Coal-tar oil and a lower fatty acid, or a lower fatty acid and a mixture of a paraffin hydrocarbon and a benzol hydrocarbon may be used in conjunction. In an example, petroleum residuum is treated with a mixture of heavy benzine and heavy solvent naphtha, and the product is refined by repeating the treatment. Specifications 27,116/09, 23,125/10, 1687/11, and 1688/11 are referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the treatment of other materials containing paraffin, ozokerit, or casein, such as ' rock tar ' and ' tube wax ' (r÷hrenwachs), and the use of the following solvents:-(1) mixtures of a lower fatty acid, for instance, acetic, propionic, or butyric acid, with a halogen substitution product of a saturated or non-saturated hydrocarbon, for example, ethylene dichloride or carbon tetrachloride (2) mixtures of benzine or its homologues with non-saturated or partly saturated hydrocarbons of the aliphatic or aromatic series, such as ethylene hydrocarbons, benzol, toluol, xylol, &c. with or without acetic acid or its homologues; (3) halogen substitution products of hydrocarbons, such as carbon tetrachloride, ethylene dichloride and ethane tetrachloride. In the last case, the paraffins are separated into different grades by fractional crystallization from the solution. In an example, rock tar is treated with solvent naphtha I (xylol fraction) or with a mixture of benzine and light oil. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 20,160. Smith, E. J. Sept. 4. Printing-surfaces. - Printing-plates are secured to printing-cylinders by means of longitudinally-movable dogs carried by screws provided with pinions geared to a central pinion, which can be displaced longitudinally by a central screw of coarse pitch, carrying the screws and dogs bodily with it, and, when this coarse adjustment is arrested, the continued rotation of the central screw rotates the central pinion and also the dog screws, and thereby the dogs receive their final clamping adjustment. As shown, the printing-plate is secured by a clip ring e, Figs. 1 and 3, formed with feathers f sliding in guides g and carried by dogs d operated by screws n which engage threaded apertures in the dogs, and are secured to a ring k which is secured by a nut l so as to move with a spur-wheel j which is in mesh with pinions o on the screws n. The spur-wheel is adapted to be given a rapid axial movement by a quick screw h, and when a boss on the wheel engages a fixed plate p, further rotation of the screw h turns the wheel j and thus rotates the screws n, which arc thus given a fine adjustment to tighten the plates. The screws n and dogs d participate in the quick axial movement of the wheel j.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Telephone Systems.
IPC: H04Q5/00
Filed: 1912-03-16
Granted: 1913-04-16
Abstract: 7593. Sterling Telephone and Electric Co., [Telephon Fabrik Akt.-Ges. vorm. J. Berliner] March 16, 1912. Exchange systems; party - line systems; semi - automatic exchange systems.-In a system in which a number of subscribers have access to a number of exchange lines, means are provided for connecting a calling subscriber automatically to the next idle exchange line. The connexions may be controlled by switching relays or by automatic switches of call-finder type. In the system shown in Fig. 1, the subscriber I, in calling, closes the contact 15, thus completing a circuit from earth over this contact, the winding 11 of the relay C<1>a of a disengaged exchange line a, the contact 17, and battery 16. The armatures 7, 8 connect the subscriber to the line a, and the armature 19 completes a hold on circuit over the contact 15, relay P', winding 12, contact 19, relay Ha, and battery 16. The armature of the relay Ha opens the contact 17 thus breaking the circuit of the winding 11 and preventing any other subscriber as II from connecting to the line a over his relay C<11>a. The contact 25, however, connects the windings 11 of the relays C<1>b, C<11>b to the battery 16 thus enabling a calling subscriber to connect himself to the line b. The relay Hb acts similarly when line b is made busy to bring line c into condition for connexion. Indicators T<1>, T<11> show when all the exchange lines are busy. Fig. 2 shows a system in which a calling subscriber is connected to an idle exchange line by an automatic step-by-step switch. When subscriber III removes his receiver, the line-relay D<111> closes contacts 35, 37, thus completing a circuit from battery 16 over contacts 36, 35, interrupter W, contact 34, and magnet Fa of a selector of an idle exchange line a. The selector moves the contacts 27, 28, 29 on to the contacts 30, 31, 32 of the calling line, whereupon a circuit is completed over the relay Q<111>, contact 37, contacts 32, 29 and relay Ya. The relay Q<111> opens the contact 36, thus breaking the driving-circuit of the selector, and the relay Ya closes the contact 38, thus energizing the relay Ka to connect the interrupter W to the selector magnet Fb of the next idle line b. The armature 39 of the relay Ya shortcircuits part of the winding of the relay so as to prevent it from being energized over the same line. The contacts 35, 37 may be replaced by contacts operated by the hook switch nf the subscriber's station. A station is called from the exchange by means usual in partyline systems, or a main station can receive the calls and then start a selector such as Fa to connect the exchange line to the desired subscriber.

Granted: 1914-08-10
Abstract: 15,858. Mackenzie, J. W., [Automatic Welding Co.]. July 9. A n g u l a r bending; bending-formers; drawing; drawing-mandrels. - In a machine for forming metal tubes from strip-stock, the edges of the joint are permanently set together between a mandrel and the last pair of forming-rolls, the lower of which has a deeper groove than the upper roll so as to distort the tube or slightly reduce the thickness thereof at the part in contact with the lower roll. The strip is passed through a pair of sectioning-rolls a<1>, a<2>, which may be driven either independently or together with a drawing-device described in Specification 29,129/11, to force the strip through forming-rolls b<1>, b<2>, b<3> to the rolls b<9>, which complete the shape of the tube. Sectioning-dies may be used instead of rolls. The strip may be drawn through the dies or rolls entirely by the drawing-device. Between the rolls b<9> is inserted a mandrel d<1> carried by a rod d<2> connected to an adjustably-mounted plate d<4>. The mandrel is formed in halves d<16>, d<17> connected together by screws and is recessed to receive rolls d<14>, d<15>, which project therefrom and are situated either behind, between, or in front of the rolls b<9>, preferably in front. The recesses in the mandrel may be circular or pnofiled so as to give only a. line contact, The groove in the lower roll b<9> is slightly deeper than that in the upper roll so as to provide a space b<15>, Fig. 9, in order that when the tube is passing over the mandrel the lower roll d<15> thereof, which preferably projects farther from the head than the upper roll, will slightly distort the tube, Fig. 10, so as to force the edges of the tube into contact. The edges are also hereby prevented from overlapping. In a modification, the shapes of the rolls and mandrels may be such as to reduce slightly the section of the tube at the bottom and so cause the edges to be pressed into contact with each other. Tubes of any shape may be made. The mandrel rolls may be lubricated through an inclined groove in the mandrel-rod and head.
