Title: Process and Apparatus for Building Hanks upon Reels.
IPC: B65H54/62
Filed: 1912-03-02
Abstract: 5341. Berthold, B., [Firm of]. March 23, 1911, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Reeling - machines.- The skeins 33, Fig. 2, wound on the reel 32 are bound by a thread, Fig. 7, which is taken from a bobbin 11 and conveyed successively through two sheds formed by raising the alternate skeins as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. The skeins are raised to form the sheds by rods 7 having projecting fingers 8 and operated by a rack 10 engaging pinions 9 on the rods. The rods are mounted in a beam 2 which is arranged to be reciprocated in a vertical direction and reciprocates a rail 6 in an horizontal direction through links 5 and elbow-levers 3, 4, pivoted to the rail, the links, and a supporting beam 1. The end of the binding-thread from the bobbin 11, passes through the eye of the threadguide 13, mounted on a bar 14 adapted to be reciprocated horizontally, and is gripped in pincers 26. To bind the skein, the beam 2 is lowered so that the rods 7 penetrate between the skeins, and the rack 10 is displaced to revolve the rods and place the fingers 8 under the skeins 33<1>, Fig. 4; the beam 2 is now lifted, and a shed is formed through which the binding-thread is taken by the guide 13. A hook 23, hinged to elbow levers 34, 35 connected to rods 24, 25 adapted to be horizontally reciprocated, is now lowered and grips the thread located in a recess 16 in the thread-gripper, which then returns to its original position. The beam 2 is again lowered, the fingers are rotated through 180 degrees, and the beam is raised to form the second shed 33<11>, through which a thread-gripper 17, pivoted at 18 and actuated by a reciprocating rail 19 and link 20, is traversed, the point of the gripper penetrating the loop formed by the hook 23 and gripping the thread behind a blade spring 21 and stud 22, Fig. 3, on the gripper. The hook is disengaged from the loop by a slight lateral motion, and the gripper returns to its original position and deposits the end of the thread in the pincers 26 so that the two ends can be knotted as shown in Fig. 7, the beam 2 being lowered and the rods 7 turned to disengage them from the skeins.

Abstract: 5547. Soc. des Etablissements Malicet et Blin. March 8, 1911, [Convention date Plug cocks; rotary disk valves.-Means are provided to lift rotary conical or disk valves slightly from their seats when the resistance to their rotation is excessive. In the construction shown in Fig. 14, the distributing-valve b of an internal-combustion engine is driven from a worm-gear u, v by balls x bearing between helical inclines on the wheel v and a collar v<2> keyed on the spindle. Stops are provided on the inclines to limit their relative movement, and the balls are kept normally midway between the stops by springs; a spring m tends to press the valve on its seat. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 3 (cancelled), in which the spindle of a conical valve b, rotated from a cam h by a lever g, is forced downwards at the moments of greatest pressure by the rotation of a screw in the nut l by a cam m through the lever j; and the construction shown in Figs. 9 and 10 (cancelled), in which the valve spindle and a lever actuating the valve through a cam have inclined clutch members o, p, which force the valve from its seat when the resistance to its rotation is excessive. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 29,841. Delaporte, M. Dec. 27, 1911, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Exhaust, disposing of.-Additional power is obtained in a steam-turbine, without increasing the amount of cooling-water used in the condenser, by providing two exhaust conduits 8, 9 between which is situated an additional stage 7. The conduits 8, 9 lead to two condensers 1, 2 arranged in a common casing and traversed in series by the cooling-water but in parallel by the exhaust steam. The vacua maintained in the condensers 1, 2 are consequently higher and lower respectively than that of a single condenser. The water-pump is connected to the condensers by pipes 10, 11, the former being siphoned in such a manner that the difference of levels balances the difference of pressures in the condensers, The air-pump is connected to pipes 12, 13, the latter, leading to the condenser 2, being of smaller cross-section to limit the suction. The tubes are spaced wide apart in the condenser 2 than in the condenser 1. For large turbines, three condensers may be used.

Granted: 1913-06-26
Abstract: 10,519. Kitsee, I. June 26, 1912. Kinematograph apparatus.-The Specification is substantially identical with Specification 14,880/12, but the claims are for a kinetograph in combination with a driving- motor comprising a number of solenoids, optionally connected in series, and means for disconnecting or shortcircuiting groups of these in succession. Two pairs of solenoids 7, 9, Fig. 1, drive, by means of connecting - rods 20, the shaft 22,. which turns the shafts 29, 40, 44 by chain and spur gearing. A steady feed of the film 67 is ensured by means of the toothed feed-wheels 37, 38, and intermittent movements of the portion before the shutter 45, which comprises a cylinder with two apertures separated by broad and narrow segments 46, 47, Fig. 6, are effected by means of the film-beater 48. When the shaft 40 rotates, a pair of weights pivoted to the film-beater 48 is pressed by centrifugal force against a surrounding drum which they carry round with them sufficiently to remove a shutter which covers the opening to protect the film when it is not in motion. The solenoids may either all have one end connected to a source of current, the other ends being connected successively to the source by a synchronizing commutator device driven by a gramophone, or else they are all connected in series with the source and normally shortcircuited, each short-circuit being opened in turn before the previous one is remade. The invention is described as applied to reproducing-apparatus, but it may be used with recording-apparatus.

Granted: 1914-02-19
Abstract: 11,278. Marguet, E. April 9, [Convention date]. Electrolytic furnaces.-Metals are produced from fused commercial caustic alkalies in a cell which is cooled externallv and has cathodes 4 near its walls. The cathodes, which may be narrow vertical or nearly vertical strips of iron or copper, become covered with a protective mixture of alkali metal and impurities; this coating may he reduced in thickness at intervals by temporary increases in the temperature or the electrolyte. Cooling may be effected by currents of air from a pipe 11 surrounding the cell and provided with a regulating-cock and indicator, or by a water-jacket or coil, optionally separated from the cell by air, sand, metal powder, slaked lime, slag-wool, or other material. The anode, which corresponds in shape to the cell, may consist of two large iron strips 2 attached at their ends to two anglepieces 3 which rest on the edge of the cell. Above the cathodes are two straight collectors 6 for alkali metal, if the cell is rectangular, or a single annular collector if the cell is round. Each collector is inclined upwards towards a gathering-pot 7 and hydrogen outlet pipe 10, and has no internal projections and no upper openings except that into the pot 7. A cell cover 8 is slotted so as to make no contact with the cathode conductors, and has a charging-opening fitted with a cap through which passes an oxygen outlet pipe '14 forming a handle. The charging-opening is central, so that fresh alkali enters the hottest part of the cell.

The pneumatic motor may be a cylinder on the gun, the piston of which is connected to a rack gearing with a pinion on the carrier hinge-pin. The motor is double-acting, but has a single exhaust port in its wall somewhat smaller in diameter than the admission holes, and communicating with the gun bore. The hole is uncovered by the piston during the breech-opening stroke at the end of the unlocking part of the movement. Fig. 9 shows, in plan, a rotary motor comprising a vane c connected to the carrier binge pin b, which vane is movable in a cylindrical chamber a. on the gun breech. Two admission ports g, h lead from a rotary valve e to the faces of a solid piece d formed in the chamber a, and a relatively small exhaust port, leading by channels k, l to the bore, is provided at j. A second small exhaust port s allows the air to escape from the chamber a when the breech is closed. The valve e is rotated by a handle o, cams q on which lift a valve n in the supply-pipe p, and allow the air to pass through a reducing valve m and the stem of the valve e to one or other of the ports g, h.
