Title: Improvements in Mechanism for Guiding Sound-box Holders in Talking-machines.
Inventor: MIKOREY HANS
Filed: 1911-01-23
Granted: 1912-03-25
Abstract: 1678. Mikorey, H. Jan. 23. Feed - motions; tone-arm joints. - A disk phonograph has its sound-box 19 mounted on a bridge 4 carried by standards 3, 3<1> over the record 20. The standards 3, 3<1> are secured to a stationary table 1 carried by the casing 2 of the driving-mechanism. The bridge 4 is pivoted to the standard 3 so that it may be lifted for changing the record 20. One half of the bridge 4 carries a feed-screw 8 driven by bevel-gear 7 and pins 10, 11 from the motor spindle 5. The other half supports on guide-rails 14<1> the soundbox 19, a cross-bar 13 forming the feed-nut. A hinge 17 permits the raising of the sound-box 19 by the links 21 when the guide-rail 14<1>, and the feed-nut 13 are lifted by a handle 18. A driving-pulley 24 on the feed-screw 8, may replace the driving-shaft 5. A sliding tube 23 connects the sound-box 19 and the tone-arm.

Granted: 1911-10-05
Abstract: 3811. Jones, T. Feb. 15. Two-stroke-cycle engines; driving-gear.-In single and double acting engines which compress in the front ends of their cylinders, the pistons carry sleeves of a reduced diameter which slide over fixed heads either depending from the cylinder, in a single-acting engine, or attached to the framing, in a double-acting engine. In the double - acting engine shown in Fig. 5, pistons c carrying an extended sleeve b which works over a fixed piston a compress scavenging and charging air in the spaces q, which air is conveyed to the combustion chambers when ports r in the cylinders n coincide with ports k in the pistons. The exhaust gases are discharged through ports f which open into passages through slots x<1> in the sleeve b. Fuel is injected into the combustion chambers during the compression strokes when ports k, y coincide. Motion is conveyed to the crank shaft by a pair of outside rods connected to gudgeons on the sleeve b. In a modified construction of single-acting engine, the upper cylinder with its piston is dispensed with.

Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 6282. Cooper, W. F. March 13. Guns, projecting fire - extinguishing charges from; fire-extinguishing by pulverutent material. - Relates to a pneumatic gun for projecting charges of fire - extinguishing powder contained in fragile casings, which are ruptured upon impact, so as to scatter the charges upon the fire. The gun, which may be mounted upon wheels, comprises a barrel a having a breechblock c, and a reservoir connected to a supply of compressed air is mounted at the side of the barrel. The gun is operated by means of a crank handle, which drives a main shaft h through a chain and sprocket - wheels. The charges are fed from a magazine 10 by means of slides, which are operated by means of a stud 3 on a wheel 2, co-acting with a lever 4 connected by levers and rods to the slides. The charges drop one by one upon a guide 25, and are pushed into the barrel a by means of the breech-block c, which is reciprocated by means of a stud 14 on the wheel 2 engaging a slotted member 16, connected to the breech-block by a rod 22 and a member 23 passing through a slot in the guide 25. When in position, the breechblock c is locked by means of a bolt y, which is operated through a lever z and a spring-pressed rod w from a slotted member v, which is reciprocated by a cam u on a wheel t. Compressed air is admitted to the barrel through a passage g by the opening of a valve in the compressed-air reservoir, which is effected by means of a cam p engaging a lever r, the free end of which carries an adjustable stud engaging the end of the valve stem. The several operations of the gun may be effected pneumatically instead of mechanically from the driving-shaft.

Granted: 1912-09-05
Abstract: 23,506. Buxton, C. B. May 25, [Convention date]. Daylight developing-tanks; drying-racks.- Relates to a daylight developing-tank, a rack for holding plates, and a light and liquid tight developing-box. The developing-tank comprises a tray 9, Fig. 3, surrounded on two or more sides by a trough 10 formed integral therewith. The sides of the tray are perforated with holes 13, or the top edges may be partly recessed as indicated by dotted lines 13'. A light-tight cover 11, Fig. 1, fits over the tray and nests in the trough 10. The lower edges 11 of the cover are scalloped. The cover is fastened down by any suitable means, and the cover carries double hinged arms 12 by which the tank can be inverted. When immersed in the developer, the liquid enters under the edges of the cover and through perforations 13 or recesses 13'. The tray 9 has distance-blocks 14 at each corner to' space the plates away from the sides of the tray in order to allow a clear flow of liquid over the plates and obviate streaks. The plates are contained in a rack 15, Fig. 4, in which the sides of the grooves are stepped to facilitate loading the rack in the dark. The wires 16 supporting the nest of grooves are bent away from the plates to obviate freak marks on the plates due to the swish of the liquid on to the plates in passing the wires. To accommodate smaller plates, a smaller nest of grooves held by plates 18, 20, Fig. 5, is secured on to the wires 16 of the larger nest by hooks 21 and the hooks are secured by means of a sliding frame 19. The light- and liquid-tight box 22, Fig. 7, in which the tank may be immersed for developing has a lid 23 fitted with a removable rubber or other resilient cushion 24 and secured to the box by sliding bars 25 on opposite sides of the box. The bars 25 carry projections 26 to engage studs' 28 on the lid, and are cut with sloping slots 27 engaging similar studs 28 on the box.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Dynamo-electric Machines.
IPC: H02K47/02
Filed: 1912-03-29
Granted: 1913-06-27
Abstract: 7651. Electric Construction Co., and Pensabene, N. March 29. Rotary converters and transformers; cores; dynamos, regulating; motors, controlling.-A rotary converter or double-current generator, in which the ratio of the voltages of the circuits may be varied, has a field-magnet system constituted by groups of poles of the same polarity, and the armature is provided with two or more windings wound for different numbers of poles. .The drawing illustrates a rotary converter with an armature having a 4-pole winding w2 connected through a commutator and brushes B to direct-current leads K and a 12-pole alternating - current winding w1 connected through slip-rings to the alternating-current mains H. The field-magnet poles N, S each consist of two small poles or projections n, n and s, s, and are excited by windings E fed with direct current. Assuming that the machine is converting direct current into alternating current, electromotive forces are induced in conductors of the winding w1 by the eight small poles in the same manner as in a normal 12 - pole machine. Back or opposing electromotive forces are, however, induced in conductors y owing to the leakage fluxes situated between the two projections of each main pole, thus giving a lower alternating - current terminal voltage. If the iron of the small poles is saturated while the leakage path is unsaturated. by increasing the field-magnet excitation, the frequency and voltage are reduced. In order to alter the alternating-current voltage without altering the frequency, the leakage flux may be varied by moving an iron block or blocks M between the poles n, n, &c. The field-magnet excitation may be strengthened or weakened by means of series winding carrying direct current. The principle of the invention may be applied to machines for converting low-frequency currents into currents of high frequency for wireless telegraphy &c., and to machines with two commutator windings on the armature for use as three-wire balancers, direct-current transformers, &c.
