Title: Improvements in and relating to Wire Covering Machines.
IPC: H01B13/08
Filed: 1911-08-23
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 18,949. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Aug. 23. Wire, covering by winding.-In machines for covering wire with insulating-material such as asbestos &c., the asbestos &c. is wound into a roll and is delivered to an engaging-roller which applies it to the wire. Fig. 2 shows part of a machine in which the wire W is axially rotated and is fed from a supply spool to a positivelydriven receiving-spool. A roll 29 of asbestos, in the form of a thin carded sheet wound upon itself, is mounted in a slotted bearing 30 and rests, so as to be frictionally rotatable, against an applying-roller 18, the face of which may be slightly concave, and is, if desired, at an acute angle with the direction of travel of the wire. The roller 18 is driven through a friction drive comprising a disk 21 on the roller shaft and an engaging friction wheel, radially adjustable by a thumb-nut 24 for variation of speed, on a vertical shaft having a gear 23 meshing with a gear 23<1> driven through worm-gear 26 and a belt 27 from a shaft 16. Adhesive is applied to the wire preferably after the asbestos is wound on by the roller 18. A supporting-plate 31 gives an initial twisting and smoothing effect before the wire passes into the polishers 32, 33, 34. Each polisher comprises a pair of rotating jaws 35, Fig. 4, mounted in a sleeve 36 that is rotated in an opposite direction to the wire in a bearing 37 by a pulley 38 from the shaft 16. The jaws are pressed together by a spring 40 pressing upon studs 41 in a yoke 42 separated from the jaws by spaces 43. Adhesive, such as Gilsonite dissolved in gasoline, is shown as applied to the covering by a trough 45 supplied from a receptacle 44.

Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 19,252. Redfern, C. G., [Telephon-Automaten Ges.]. Aug. 28. Hiring telephones. - In telephone call stations of the kind in which a relay is bridged across the line circuit so that the station can be called from the exchange, contacts in parallel branches of the microphone and inductor circuits, respectively, are controlled by the relay and by a coinoperated lever. The contacts controlled by the relay are restored when the magneto gives the clearing signal or when the receiver is replaced. The contacts controlled by the coin are opened when the speaker leaves the box. Coin action, weight.- The coin-operated lever 7 is normally held in the position shown in Fig. 1 by a lug 10 on a sliding rod 8 connected to a footboard of the box. When a person enters the box, the rod 8 is depressed and the lever 7 assumes a horizontal position, but the insertion of a coin moves it to an intermediate position in which the contacts 11, 22 engage the springs 11<1>, 22<1>. The lever remains in this position until the caller leaves the station, when it returns to the position shown in Fig. 1, the coin being thereby released.

Inventor: WALLER WILLIAM
IPC: B21D51/26
Filed: 1912-01-03
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 254. Waller, W. Jan. 3. Stoppering.-In apparatus for applying lids to lever-lid tins, cans, and other vessels, the vessels, with their lids loosely applied, are carried by an endless band b, Fig. 1, beneath an upper endless band d, the movement of which synchonises with that of the conveyer band, the upper band being suitably spaced above the conveyer band to engage the lids and gradually press them tightly home. The upper band is carried in a box or casting p, Fig. 1, adjustably mounted in a standard q, and is driven by chain gearing from one of the rollers of the lower band. A spring-controlled block w mounted in the casting p exerts a spring pressure on the band d and so enables it to act on vessels varying slightly in size. This portion of the band being lower than the other parts leads the vessels in and out of the machine and ensures the pressure being applied gradually. The casting p is raised or lowered by a screw o and is secured in adjusted position by bolts extending through slots r in the standard q. The Provisional Specification also states that the upper band may be replaced by an adjustably - mounted wheel beneath which the receptacles are carried by the conveyer.

Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 3938. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Feb. 16. Pinacone homologues; organo-metallic compounds.-Pinacone homologues are produced by treating homologues of acetone with aluminum amalgams, or amalgamated aluminium, or with magnesium in the presence of mercuric salts, and with or without the addition of agents promoting the reaction such as iodine, chlorine or its compounds such as chloroform, also bromoform, carbon tetrachloride, hexachlorethane, chloral and its hydrate, antimony trichloride, &c. In one example, an organo-aluminium compound is produced by the action of aluminium upon diethylketone in the presence of mercuric chloride, and is then decomposed by water, yielding tetraethylglycol. In a second example a compound is formed by the action of magnesium and mercuric chloride upon methylethylketone, and is decomposed by water, giving dimethyldiethylglycol. Dimethyldipropylglycol is similarly produced.

Abstract: 25,518. Schott & Gen. Nov. 13, 1911, [Convention date]. Mercury and conducting - liquid switches; electro-magnetic actuation. -An electricallyoperated switch comprises a liquid contact-body which partly fills an erect U-sHaped tube extending through a magnetic field perpendicular to the lines of force, a working-current passing through the liquid and reacting upon the magnetic field to cause the liquid to move and engage a fixed contact placed in one or other of the arms of the tube. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the switch is used to put a meter f into circuit when the current rises above a certain strength. The switch comprises a glass tube a containing mercury, with cross-projections a<1>, a<2> which serve for the entrance and exit of the working-current, the plane of the tube being perpendicular to the lines of force of an electromagnet comprising a horseshoe - shaped core c and a coil d which may be excited by the working - current or by means of an independent battery. One of the arms of the tube a is provided with a fixed contact b connected to the meter f. When the current exceeds a certain strength, which can be regulated by rotating the tube a, the reaction between the magnetic field and the current causes the mercury to make contact with b. In a modification the coil d is connected in parallel with the current-consumer. so that the meter is only thrown into circuit when the current has reached the normal pressure and exceeds a certain strength. In cases where the current is subject to temporary changes of direction, contacts are placed in each arm of the tube o and a second meter is provided.

Abstract: 2766. Wolters, G. Feb. 3. Digesters. - Peat and other pulpy or muddy substances are heated in traversing a series of chambers in which the temperatures and pressures are successively increased, the heating- medium, such as steam or vapours generated from the material, being passed through the chambers in a counterflow. Superheated steam may be fed to one or more chambers, or single chambers may be heated internally or externally. Fig. 1 shows a tubular receptacle or boiler divided into chambers by depending and upstanding partitions b, between which the material forms a seal. Feeding- scoops or blades i<1> on a central rotary shaft advance the material ultimately to an end-chamber or boiler e, heated externally by a furnace d or internally by superheated steam. This boiler may be separate. The material is discharged through an adjuatabte outlet m, and may be used for preliminary heating. Vapours forcing their way backwards through the material may escape through the feed-inlet c or a valve l, or they may condense in the raw material. Waste gases from the boiler may also heat other chambers. The ends of the partitions b may be inclined towards the inlet. Fig. 2 shows superposed chambers formed in a vertical receptacle by shelves and partitions. Mechanical feeding- means may be dispensed with, the material being advanced by gravity. Overflow pipes v connect each chamber with that below, to remove any excess of material. A third apparatus comprises a rotary spiral receptacle, in which chambers are formed by the material, without partitions.
