Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 18,791. Haddan, R., National Cash Register Co.]. Aug. 9. Type-wheel actions. - In key-set independently-operated cash registers, the key-stems upon depression position levers 19, Fig. 2, the ends 54 of which form stops for stepped segments 20, and have pawls 55 pivoted thereto to act as stops for similar stepped segments formed integral with pinions engaging gear - wheels upon nested sleeves carrying the printing-segments 18, Fig. 4. A number of yokes, nested on a shaft 28, are connected by links with the segments 20, so that on release of the cash drawer and on the forward movement of the supporting-lever 16, Fig. 5, the yokes take up differential positions according to the amount set, thus positioning the registering and printing segments and the indicating-wheels. These parts are re-set, upon the closing of the drawer, by the upward movement of the supporting- lever. Depressed keys are held down by detent plates until the main operating - shaft rotates and releases them. Hammer-impression arrangements; line-spacing mechanism.-The main operating shaft 77 has a one - way connexion with a pinion 135 loosely mounted thereon and driven by a sector 136 fast on the central shaft which is actuated by the drawer - engaging lever 16. Upon the main operating-shaft are cams which move positively in both directions a platen and paperfeed lever 161, actuating the paper-roll by means of a pawl and ratchet-wheel, and having a stud 162 for engagement with the ratchetwheel 159 at the end of the stroke in order to prevent overthrow. A flexible platen is employed. Ink-ribbon mechanism.-An endless ink-ribbon is mounted on guiding studs and fed forward by being pinched between a cam-lever on the shaft 77 and a roller 169 on one of the guiding-pins.

Title: Improvements in Mechanism for use in Tying Up or Binding Hanks and other analogous Quantities of Yarn or Thread on Reels.
Inventor: PIANE LUIGI DELLE
IPC: B65H54/62
Filed: 1911-07-18
Granted: 1911-12-21
Abstract: 16,469. Piane, L. D. July 18. Reeling - machines. - In a mechanical binding- mechanism for use in tying-up or binding hanks or the like on the swifts of reeling-machines, bars 3, 4, Fig. 2, carrying hooks 8, 9 are arranged at the sides of one of the staves of the swift 2. A pair of hooks is provided for each hank to be wound, and the bars 3, 4 are movable longitudinally of the stave. A bobbin is mounted on the stave below each pair of hooks and carries the binding- thread, which is passed through an eye in the hook 9 and is led to the other hook where it is secured in a slit. The beginning-thread 23, Fig. 6, of the hank is also secured in this slit. At the commencement of the winding, the bar 3 is moved relatively to the bar 4, so that the thread being wound passes by the point of the hook 9 and rests on the hook 8. When a lea a has been wound the hook 9 is advanced so that the second lea b engages it and passes the point of the hook 8. By advancing the hooks alternately at the completion of each lea, the leas are arranged on the hooks as shown in Fig. 6, the binding-thread 20 passing under and over alternate leas both as it passes from the eye in the hook 9 to the right and as it passes back again to the left to the slit in the hook 8. When the hank is complete, the winding is stopped, the binding-thread is removed from the slit with the beginning-thread of the hank, and these, together with the end-thread of the hank and the other end of the binding-thread, are all knotted together. The alternate advancing of the bars 3, 4 is accomplished by mounting on the frame of the reel an indented plate 16 engaged by a spring-controlled pivoted arm 14 mounted upon the thread-guide bar 10. Movement of the bar 10 to the left of Fig. 2, on the completion of the winding of each lea, carries the arm 14 from the summit to the bottom of an indentation, or vice versa, moving the end 13 of the lever 12 into position to engage with the bent end of one or other of the bars 3 or 4 on the rotation of the swift. The end 13 of the lever 12 is cain-shaped to cause longitudinal movement of the bars.

Granted: 1912-07-25
Abstract: 21,421. Mathesius, W. Sept. 28. Hot-blast stoves.-In a stove of the kind in which an iron shell encloses a number of annular concentric flues surrounding a central combastion chamber and in which the flues are surmounted by cupolas, a special arrangement of the cupolas and flue walls is provided; the gas and air are admitted to the combustion chamber in such a manner as to produce a long flame. As shown in Fig. 1, the combustion chamber 1 is surrounded by concentric flues 7, 8, 9, the flue 9 being filled with chequer brickwork. The flue wall 5 is extended upwards through a lower cupola 14 into an upper cupola 17, the joint between the flue wall 5 and the cupola 14 being packed by means of a ring 16. The space 18 between the flue wall 5 and the cupola 17 may also be packed. The cupolas are supported on a framework 15 carried by the outer shell 11. Furnace gases and air for combustion are supplied to the combustion chamber 1 through conduits 3, 4 respectively, which conduits are arranged tangentially to the combustion chamber and approximately parallel to one another, so that the flames and gases pass spirally upwards to the space 22, from which they pass through the flues 7, 8, 9 to the outlet flue 13. Cold blast is admitted through the pipe 21.

Filed: 1911-12-14
Granted: 1912-03-28
Abstract: 28,107. Champ, J. H. Feb. 15, [Convention date]. Bottling.-Relates to a device for feeding bottles to rotary machines such as the bottling- machine described in Specification 1746/06. The apparatus is of the kind in which the bottles are fed along a guide channel having its delivery end controlled by an escapement. According to the present invention, the escapement or gate mechanism guides the bottles into such a position as to enable them to be carried along by the holders, the bottles being moved into their seats by a resilient finger extending into the path of the bottles. The bottles 2 are moved along, or brought up to, the guidechannel frictionally by means of an endless band 7, and are normally restrained by the spring- controlled lever or gate which is pivoted at 16 and provided with arms 17, 18. The arm 18 holds back the bottles, and the arm 17 projects into the path of the bottle-holders 1. The gate is tripped by successive bottle-holders, allowing the last bottle to be pushed off the guidechannel by those behind it, swept along by the holder, and correctly positioned by the fixed resilient finger. One side rail 10 of the guide-channel is pivoted at 12 and is held in alinement with the belt 7 by a spring 13. The other rail 11 is adjustable laterally to adjust the guide for bottles differing in size.

Abstract: 6520. Carr, A. E. March 16. Indicators. - A portion of the smoke in the flue of a furnace is ejected through a tube for inspection to determine whether black smoke is being produced, the device being particularly useful in the case of a battery of boilers served by a common chimney. The tube 5 with a bell mouth 5<a> is carried by a flanged rectangular casing 4 which may replace a brick, and a small bore superheating steamtube 6 is also carried by the casing. An elbow 8 is screwed into the casing to form a delivery pipe for the tube 5, and a spider 7<a> held in position by the tube 5 carries the end of the tube 6 and the ejector nozzle 9. A cock 10 is carried by the casing at the inlet end of the superheater tube 6. When blackness of the smoke is suspected, the cock 10 is opened and superheated invisible steam ejects the smoke. The apparatus may be so placed that the smoke ejected is drawn into the furnace mouth, or the smoke may be directed into a hood delivering again to the flue.
