Title: Improvements in Pencils.
Inventor: WALLS JOHN ABBET
IPC: C09D13/00
Filed: 1913-04-09
Granted: 1914-03-19
Abstract: 8351. Walls, J. A. April 9. Pencils.-The core 13 is constructed so as to be non - homogeneous as regards its marking properties in any cross - section. The pencil when used produces upon the writing-surface a mark which appears as a streak or ribbon of gradually changing complex striated or banded appearance, whereby any erasures or interpolation can be detected by the abrupt change in the progressive development of the striae. The core of the pencil is preferably of flattened cross-section, and the pencil itself may be oval. The core may be produced by breaking up a number of pencil cores having different marking properties into regular or irregular-shaped sections 15, which are subsequently moulded and bound together.

Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 12,525. Grosser, P., [trading as Grosser, G. F.]. May 29. Parallel machines. - The means described in Specification 15,963 / 10 for connecting individual sinkers or webholders 12 with the corresponding needles 1 is modified in that the needles and web-holders are each provided with two or more butts 18, 19, 20, 21 by means of which fashioning is facilitated. As described in the above - mentioned Specification, each needle is supported in a jack 6, pivoted at 3 and having a tail 7 which is operated by a pattern drum 9 to throw the needle into or out of engagement with its cams 29, 30, 31. In the full-line position shown, the needles perform ordinary knitting; when the jack tails 7 drop into a slot S of the drum 9 as shown in dotted lines, the needles are inactive. There is an intermediate position in which a corner 24 rests on the edge of the drum. The needles, in this position, are missed by the cam 29 but are taken by the cams 31, 30 if these cams are in the active position. Fig. 1 shows these cams in the inactive position. This intermediate position is taken by the selvedge needles in fashioning. In widening a plain tubular fabric, the selvedge needles are only taken by the cam 31, forming tuck stitches. In widening a ribbed fabric, the selvedge needles are taken by the cams 30, 31 and form full stitches. When commencing work, for instance the toe of a stocking, the webholders 12, 12<1> are temporarily withdrawn by raising the cams 64, 65. The cams 29, 30, 31, Fig. 9, are mounted on spring-pressed stems and are placed in knitting position or withdrawn therefrom, as required, by the action of slides 39, 40 which are carried by the cam-plate 28 and come up against adjustable stops at the end of each traverse. The slides 39, 40 are provided with inclined cut-away portions such as 59, 60 which co-operate for this purpose with cut-away portions on the supporting-stems of the cams 29, 30, 31. The cams 64, 65 are placed in and out of action in a similar manner.

Granted: 1914-09-25
Abstract: 14,728. Utley, W. H. June 25. [Cognate Application, 20,196/13.] Fixed-abutment type of rotary pump, engine, or meter, with eccentric rotor having a diametrical radially-sliding vane. The inner periphery of the casing Y is so shaped that, for all angular displacements of the vane E through a quarter of a revolution from the point of contact of the rotor D with the casing, the length of the vane intercepted between the casing and the rotor periphery is equal to half the maximum endlong travel of the vane multiplied by the square of its angular displacement expressed as a fraction of a right-angle. By this means, a uniform endlong acceleration of the vane is obtained. The parts are further proportioned so that half the maximum endlong travel of the vane shall not be greater than the rotor radius multiplied by # #<2>. The vane has bevelled ends, which, when the vane is in the horizontal position, are arranged to lie on the casing in the manner shown in Fig. 4. The shape of the casing is defined by a polar equation, and geometrical and mechanical methods of producing it are described. Inlet and outlet ports P and auxiliary ports P<1> are provided as shown, and the rotor is arranged to contact with the casing at a point below its axis. The shape of the casing Y according to an alternative construction described but not claimed, may be a curve involving a cosine function of the angular displacement of the vane E.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Means for Discharging Milk from an Exhausted Receiver.
Inventor: STORRIE ALEXANDER
IPC: A01J5/04
Filed: 1913-06-28
Granted: 1914-03-12
Abstract: 14,961. Storrie, A. June 28. Automactic-feed weighers. -The milk from a milking - machine is received in an exhausted vessel comprising a fixed chamber A<1>, and a chamber D counterweighted by a lever G<1>, Fig. 1, and moved downwards by the weight of milk when full. The chambers communicate by means of passages in a trunk C attached to the chamber A' and fitting a sleeve D<1> attached to the lower chamber. In the position shown in Fig. 3, milk passes through the passage C' and port D<2> with non-return valve D', and the air is exhausted from the chamber D through a passage C<5> and pipe C<6> which extends nearly to the top of the chamber A<1>. When the chamber D descends, the sleeve closes the ports C<1>, C<5>, and puts the passage C<4> into communication with the atmosphere and with a port D<4>, destroying the vacuum in the chamber D and thus allowing the valve F to open. The vessel is exhausted through a trap B, Fig. 1, the pipe A<3> having a partition A<4>, and apertures A', A<6>, to facilitate the deposition of moisture, and the production of spray is minimized by a baffle A<8>. In modified forms of connexion between the fixed and moving chambers, the sleeve M<4>, Fig. 9, may alternately cover and open a milk passage M<1> and an air passage M<3> in the trunk M; or the trunk may be perforated at H<1>, Fig. 5, and surrounded by an angular passage J<1> in the sleeve J, the communication being interrupted when the sleeve descends and the air passage J<2> is uncovered. In another form, a lateral pipe attached to the chamber D communicates in the upper position with an aperture in the side of the chamber A' and in the lower with the atmosphere, a telescopic guide being fitted to the opposite side of the chamber. The discharge valve may be opened by a striker K<1>, Fig. 5, and the lower chamber may be removed for cleaning. This is accomplished by turning aside the bracket G, Fig. 1, and lever G<1> round the support A, or a link may be arranged between the lever G<1> and roller D<7>, so that sufficient space is left above the lever when the link is disengaged. The bracket G and stop G<5> are adjustable, and a counter O records the number of reciprocations, giving an approximate measure of the milk passed through.

Granted: 1915-05-20
Abstract: 21,713. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. Oct. 29. Label-attaching machines; feed by clamps. - A label tape is fed down a guideway into a work-clamp which, in closing upon the tape and the fabric to which the label is to be attached, cuts off the portion of tape within the clamp. The whole is carried upon a bracket by which suitable feeding movements are imparted to the workclamp. The fabric is clamped between a plate 35 and a serrated frame 36 carried by a presserbar 40. A label-carrying frame 44, Fig. 8, is secured within the frame 36, and upon its ledges 15 the piece of tape, cut to form a label, is clamped by a serrated frame 49 carried by a second presser-bar 54. The presser-bars 40, 54 are pressed downward by lever springs 57 and are raised by means of a treadle lever and a presser-bar in the machine head, which has an arm projecting so as to engage pins 123, 124 on the presser-bars 40, 54. The pin 124 is normally lower than the pin 123, so that the label-clamping frame 49 is lifted first. A curved guiding-trough 66 is slidingly mounted in an extension 36<Î> of the frame 36, and the tape is fed down it into the clamp by a feed-arm 79. The floor of the trough is ribbed so as to arch the tape, and the tape is held on to the floor by a fixed guide 108, 109. The edge of the trough adjacent to the clamp is sharpened to co-operate with a knife 76 on the labeldamping frame 49. The cutting-edges are pressed together by a spring 71 pulling on the further edge of the trough. The feed-arm 79 is pivoted at 77 on the presser-bar 40 and has a slotted extension 112 which engages a fixed pin 115, so that when the presser-bars are raised, the arm 79 swings towards the workclamp. Initially, a bowl 99 on the spring- pressed feed-foot 85 rides upon a short cam 105 and holds the feed-foot off the tape. After engaging and feeding the tape, a second cam 100 withdraws the feed-foot, and a spring latch 89 holds it until, on the backward movement of the feed-arm, a projection 94 withdraws the latch and permits the bowl 99 to ride upon the cam 105 preparatory to the next feeding movement. The presser-bars 40, 54 slide in a gooseneck 42 carried by a bar 9, to which the plate 35 is also secured. The bar 9 slides and pivots upon a block 10, and is given longitudinal movements by the lever 17 and lateral oscillations by the gear 29, 30.

Filed: 1915-04-24
Abstract: 6126. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, [Sperry Gyroscope Co.]. April 24. Angle - measuring instruments. - Apparatus for determining the speed of an aircraft comprises a tubular sighting-device capable of being turned about a transverse horizontal axis and geared to a tachometer ; the sighting-device may be rotatable about a vertical axis to enable the drift and the actual direction of flight to be determined. In one form, the apparatus comprises a tube 7, Fig. 1, mounted on a pivot 10 and carrying an eyepiece 16 and cross-hairs, a slow angular movement in one direction and a quick return movement being imparted to the tube by a cam 17. The cam is rotated on a vertical shaft 21 by worm gear from a hand-driven shaft 26, which is also geared to a tachometer 5. The speed of the shaft 26 is adjusted until objects on the ground appear to be stationary with respect to the cross-hairs, and from the reading of the tachometer and the height of the aircraft, the speed is determined. The apparatus is mounted on a rotatable base 12 provided with a pointer 14 reading on a scale 15. One or more cross-hairs are normally in the fore-and-aft line of the aircraft, and to determine the drift, the apparatus is turned until these cross-hairs lie in the direction of travel of the image of objects on the ground, the pointer 14 then showing the amount of drift. The tube 7 may be duplicated for binocular vision, and a hinged flap or other means may be provided to shut off vision during the return movement of the tube. In a modification, Fig. 5, a number of radiating sighting-tubes 7 having cross-hairs are continuously rotated through gearing by a handle 48, which is also geared to the tachometer 5. Light entering the tubes is reflected by stationary prisms 40, 44 into a fixed tube 43 carrying the eyepiece 16, means being provided to exclude light from all the tubes 7, except the one through which observation is desired. The apparatus is carried on a rotatable base 12 and is turned by a knob 58, which is geared to operate a pinion which is secured to the lower end of a shaft 61 and engages a circular rack on a fixed base 13. The tubes 7 may be provided with lenses which convert them into telescopes or produce real images, which are viewed by the eyepieces.
