Abstract: 18,687. Harris, B. Aug. 14. Hooks, automatic-release.-The framework at the mouth of a mine for releasing the cagesuspending hook and supporting the cage comprises two end plates 19 connected by two upper cross-bars 20 and two lower cross-bars 21. The hook comprises two levers 5 pivoted between side-plates 1 on a pin 4 and normally engaging the hoisting - shackle 14 by overlapping projections 7 at their upper part. The levers 5 are disengaged by inclined projections 6 engaging the lower bars 21 of the frame, and the cage is then supported by upper lugs 9 engaging the bars 20 and lower lugs 12 engaging the bars 21. The opening of the levers 5 is limited by a fixed stop 22, and they are locked in the open position by a cross-pin 17 dropping into notches in the levers. A soft metal pin 18 prevents accidental release of the hook. An auxiliary shackle, Fig. 4, consisting of two side bars 23 connected by removable pins 24 is used for resetting the hook after an accident. The lower pin is placed through slotted holes 26 in the levers 5, and the cage is slightly raised so that the locking-pin can be released.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Cleaning and Preparing Composition Inking Rollers and Lithographic Inking Rollers.
Inventor: KUERTH RICHARD
IPC: B41F35/00
Filed: 1912-08-22
Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 19,229. K³rth, R. Aug. 22. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Inking-apparatus.-In apparatus for cleaning either composition or lithographic inking-rollers, the roller f is so driven and mounted that it can be rotated continuously in the case of composition rollers, or step by step intermittently in the case of lithographic rollers, the cleaning &c. being done by tools on pivoted arms m, n, carried by a slide w. To clean composition rollers, a scraper, Fig. 7, comprising diagonal fingers 6, having passages connected to nozzles 8, only one of which is shown, for supplying liquid on to the roller in front of each knife, is clamped on to the arm n. This arm is so controlled by a wedge 5 on a sliding bar that the fingers 6 bear against the roller while the slide w moves from right to left, and are lifted off as it moves from left to right. The slide is moved by a chain v operated by change-speed gear and reversing gear controlled by a bar x carrying adjustable stops y. The rollers 9 on the scraper prevent the edges of the composition roller f from being damaged as the tool runs on and off the roller. When cleaning lithographic inking-rollers, a polishing or finishing knife 5<1>, Fig. 9, is fixed on the arm n, and a grindstone 4, Fig. 8, is fixed on the arm m. The slide w is then given a quick traverse, and the roller f is disconnected from the continuously revolving gear, and given a small step-by-step movement through a ratchetwheel b and pawl 3, actuated from the rod x. The grindstone 4 bears continually on the roller, and is lifted only at the ends of its traverse by rollers q engaging cams r so that it avoids the end collars on the roller. The finishing- knife 5<1> attached to the arm n only bears on the roller f during its right-to-left movement, and polishes or finishes the portion of the roller ground by the stone 4..

Granted: 1914-01-15
Abstract: 11,632. Richter, G. Feb. 25, [Convention date]. Tunnel kilns for tempering, cementation, and like processes are arranged so that the combustion gases and cooling air pass in a serpentine course transversely through consecutive zones. In the arrangement shown, gases from fires 9, 10 on opposite sides of the kiln pass, by means of conduits 11, 12, 13, 14 arranged in staggered relation, through the zones IV, III, II, and I, the gases from the fire 9 first passing through the zone V by way of openings 22, 23. The conduits communicate with the interior of the kiln by openings 19, the gases taking the paths indicated by the arrows. Cooling air enters at 24, and passes by means of conduits 15, 16, 17, 18 and openings 20 transversely through the zones IX-VI, as shown by the arrows. A portion of the cooling air passes through conduits 26, 28 beneath the grates of the fireplaces, a portion through conduits 25, 27 to the fireplaces above the grates, and the remainder is allowed to escape. The goods are placed in containers 1, of which four are mounted on each truck 4, with longitudinal partitions 6 between. Two trucks form a unit, and on the two end vessels of each unit is placed an arc-shaped member 7, which serves to separate the zones. The gases, as shown in Fig. 2, pass partly over the partitions 6 and partly through holes 5 in their lower portion. The partitions 6 may be dispensed with, the openings 19, 20, 22, 23 being distributed over the whole height of the inner chamber.

IPC: H01F27/14
Filed: 1913-10-24
Granted: 1914-04-30
Abstract: 24,162. Weiss, H. Oct. 26, 1912, [Convention date]. Transformers.-Oil transformers are contained in a casing from which air is entirely excluded, while the oil is maintained under pressure. The transformer is contained in a tank 1, provided with cooling - pipes 5, a pressure gauge 6, a filling-opening 7, and an overflow pipe 8 connected to a tank 9. The tank 1 is also connected by a pipe, provided with a valve 21, with a cylinder 2, having a piston 3 acted on by a weight such as 10, or by gas, liquid, or spring pressure. The tank is filled by first raising the piston and charging it through the opening 7, after which the piston is released and the opening 7 closed by a cut-off valve. Oil overflows through the pipe 8 into the tank 9, and the cut-off valve in the pipe is then closed. On expansion of the oil by heat, or on contraction, the piston 3 moves in the cylinder 2. The pressure on the oil prevents the cooling-medium in the pipes 5 from penetrating into the oil in the tank, or air from entering through leakage in the casing. The cooling-pipes may be immersed in a separate cooling-medium contained in a casing let into the cover of the tank.
