Title: Improvements in and relating to Rollers for use in Dyeing, Bleaching, and other Operations.
Inventor: HALSTEAD HARRY DUCKWORTH
Filed: 1909-11-05
Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 25,489. Halstead, H. D. Nov. 5. Rollers. - A roller comprising a porcelain, glass, or like shell, such as is described in Specification 9872/96, [Class 15, Bleaching &c.], is constructed with two end caps of preferably no greater diameter than the shell, which caps exercise a compressing conical grip upon the shell. One end cap B is keyed to the shaft A, and the other C is movable thereon. Their inner faces are internally coned to fit on correspondingly externally coned ends of the shell D. The requisite end pressure is obtained by nuts E bearing against the cap C, a spring washer F being interposed. Packing-rings G, G<1> prevent access of liquid to the interior, and give any required elasticity to the contact. The shell may be rotated by the grip between it and the caps, but it is preferably positively driven, for which purpose it is provided with two diametrically opposite ribs H, H' one of which is continued to one end to engage in a recess in the cap B, and the other is continued to engage the cap C. One rib, engaging with both end caps, may be used. Only one end cap need be provided with a conical seat, the other end being supported in any suitable manner.

Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 17,141. Evershed & Vignoles, Needham, J. C., and Kilroy, W. D. July 26. Electric clocks.-Hysteresis effects occurring in the electro-magnets of the electro-magnetic escapements of timing-devices, owing to undesired variations in the magnetizing-current, together with the consequent errors of timing, are eliminated by automatically and regularly varying the magnetization of the controlling- magnets over a range preferably greater than that introduced by hysteresis. Fig. 1 shows the electrical connexions in the case of a timing- device used in connexion with a system of stoking-indicators or the like, such as is described in Specification 11,698/02. The brake magnet a of a Foucault brake which regulates the speed of the clock has two, preferably opposite, windings a<1>, a<2>, which are alternately switched on by the same switch mechanism n that switches on and off the stoking indicators and the driving -magnets b, c. A temporary variation in the supply voltage does not therefore produce a lasting alteration in the magnetic lines of the brake magnet.

Granted: 1912-08-14
Abstract: 18,368. Sauer, A. Aug. 14. Screw motors; working-fluid supply; blades; rotors; balancing.-Turbines driven by a mixture of heated motive fluid and cold or heated atmospheric air induced by the heated fluid, are constructed so that the air is drawn into whirling commingling relation with the applied motive fluid. Several constructions are described, in all of which the heated fluid passes along spiral grooves on the outside of a cylindrical or conical member through the interior of which air is drawn. In the form shown in Fig. 2, steam from the pipe 29 passes round the grooves 15 and out through the opening 14, where it meets heated air which has passed over blades of the rotor from the chamber 13, supplied through the flue pipes 19 which pass through the exhaust chamber 16. The combined air and steam from the two ends of the turbine pass to the outlet 28. The rotor consists of two shells 20 with blades 21 arranged to form chambers 22 connected by spiral passages 27, the passages on the two ends of the rotor being oppositely inclined. The two shells 20 are clamped by bolts 24 between the end plates 23 and the disk 26, which is shrunk on to the shaft 25. In the form shown in Fig. 10 the fluids are mixed before passing to the rotor; cold air and air heated in the pipes 19 drawn from the pipes 30<a> are both induced by steam from the pipes 34 passing along spiral grooves 15 round the conical member 30 shown in detail in Fig. 12. In another modification, fresh air only is induced.
Patent GB-191119187-A (GB)
Title: Improved Circuit Arrangements for Automatic Telephone Systems.
Filed: 1911-08-26
Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 19,187. Siemens & Halske Akt-Ges. Aug. 27, 1910, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Automatic exchange systems; metering systems.-In systems in which no side-switches are used, the control of the selectors and connectors is effected by means of two relays, which are energized as long as a connexion is maintained and are inserted at each end of the test-lead circuit. The relay associated with the incoming test lead directly controls the connexion of the battery to the actuating and release magnets of the selectors. The relay associated with the out-going test lead controls the selection of an idle selector or connector, or the busy test of a wanted line. An auxiliary damped relay, energized before the wanted line is tested, first transmits a ringing- current of predetermined duration to the called station, and when de-energized changes the connexions so that the ringing-current is applied periodically. The invention is shown applied to a two-wire system in which the relays of the first selector act also as repeaters for the other sets of impulses, and in which the subscribers' meters are associated with the test-circuits of their preliminary selectors, as described in Specification 19,185/11.

Abstract: 16,757. Liddle, J., [Allbright-Nell Co.]. July 18. Carcases, treating.-Comprises a carcase scraping and polishing machine including a scalding-tub and a dehairing and polishing mechanism mounted thereon to operate on the carcases while these are subjected to the scalding temperature of the water therein. The scalding-tub 1 has an upwardly inclined rear end 2, over which is a frame having a removable cover 4 and a hinged or other front wall 5. A curtain 6<a> closes the rear end. Conveyer shafts 7, 8 support sprockets over which pass roller chains. Cross-beams 15 support a smooth sheetmetal floor 15, over which the cross-bars 17 of the conveyer work. The floor 15 and the conveyerguides 18 are curved as shown. Journaled in the frame are upper and lower beater shafts 22, 23 carrying oppositely rotating beaters formed by strips of canvas belting, to the ends of which knives 25 are fixed. A driving-shaft 26 carrying fast and loose pulleys at one end drives the conveyer-shaft 7 by chain gearing, and also at the other side of the machine drives a sprocket chain trained round an idle sprocket 35 and sprockets 33, 34 on the beater shafts so that these rotate in opposite directions. A gate 49 extends across the tub 1 and overlaps the sprocket 8. The carcase when scalded is introduced on the lower end of the conveyer which dips into the tub and is carried upwards, the beaters of the lower shaft assisting the movement. When the carcase gets midway between the shafts on the curved portion of the floor, its weight together with the downward action of the upper beaters, which are arranged to rotate quicker than the lower beaters, arrests forward movement, and the carcase is rotate under the influence of both sets of beaters. The upper set is now unclutched and the forward movement of the conveyer delivers the carcase on to the table 50. The lower beaters dip into the water and cause water to be splashed over the carcase during the whole operation. In a modification, two pairs of beater shafts are used, alternate shafts rotating in the same direction. A hot-water spray may be added in either form of the apparatus.
