Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 16,605. Soc. A. Olier et Cie. Nov. 26, 1910, [Convention date]. Cores, covering by winding.-In machines for winding or wrapping fabric in a spiral around pneumatic tyres, of the type having a driven ring, on the inner periphery of which is mounted the fabric bobbin, the tyre to be wound interlinking with and revolving in a plane at rightangles to the ring, the ring is driven by frictional contact with a cone of non-slipping material, and the tyre is rotated by frictional contact with driving-rollers, against which it is held by an additional roller on a counterweighted slide. Fig. 1 shows a ring c supported bv rollers H in a gear-box b, which is provided with a hinged gap-piece to enable the tyre p to be introduced horizontally. The tyre rests upon rotary rollers r mounted so as to swing around vertical pins x. The outer conical face of the ring c engages a double cone of compressed paper, leather, india-rubber, &c. keyed upon the main shaft o, which may be driven in either direction by straight and crossed belts, two loose, and two fast pulleys. The shaft o also drives through a belt a spindle n carrying two worms g, which gear with worm-wheels 7 keyed on two vertical spindles 3. Mounted on these spindles are rollers g, the tyre p being held against the rollers by a third roller g<1> carried by a slide acted upon by a counterweight f. The fabric is fed from a bobbin j acted on by a brake in the usual manner.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Electrically Operating and Controlling Planing Machines and the like Reciprocating Tools.
IPC: B23Q15/007
Filed: 1911-09-04
Granted: 1912-08-29
Abstract: 19,615. Lancashire Dynamo and Motor Co., and Wood, A. P. Sept. 4. Planing. - Planing-machines are operated electrically, and the tool can be moved in either of two directions by interchangeable motors A, C, one of which reciprocates the tool while the other makes a limited angular movement to apply a traversing motion to the tool. In the arrangement shown, the motor A reciprocates the tool. Just prior to a cutting stroke the switch T is closed by a tappet on the reciprocating part, and current then passes through a coil which actuates switch-gear controlling the motor C. This motor rotates a predetermined number of revolutions according to the switchgear and current strength and so causes the tool to make the required traversing movement.

Granted: 1913-05-26
Abstract: 9735. Wilson, D. H. April 24. [Addition to 9593/12.] Electrodes of lead accumulators, preparation of and connexions to. The method of charging an accumulator described in the parent Specification, by applying a heavy current for periods and at the end of each period lowering the current step-by-step and raising it again to its original amount, to remove gases, is now modified by reducing the current in stages, each stage extending over several periods, to correspond approximately with the curve of current of greatest charging efficiency. In Fig. 5, the ordinates indicate the charging - current, the abscissµ the time, and the line 52 this curve. During the intermissions between successive periods 50, the current is preferably zero, but may be a small charging or discharging current, as shown at 64. For a battery of 25 to 30 PlantÚ plates measuring 8 ins. by 10 ins. by # in., the full current may be 1,500 amps. at the start, reduced after each four periods to 1,000, 750, 500, and 300 amps. Each period of full current may last three minutes, and one minute may be occupied in stepping down, resting, and stepping up again. A partlydischarged battery may be recharged by starting at an intermediate stage. Apparatus is described for supplying appropriate current. The electrodes receive heavy charging-currents without overheating or injury, through highlyconductive insertions. Fig. 3 shows a PlantÚ electrode into which a strip 66 extends from a connector-bar 67 at the top, the strip and bar consisting of copper sheaths in lead by squirting.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Sausage Casings.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
IPC: A22C13/00
Filed: 1912-11-01
Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 25,018. Thompson, W. P., [May, S.]. Nov. 1. Sausages, black-puddings, and the like.-Sausage casings are made from animal intestines so that the casings are of larger capacity than the intestines and are also of regular size. In one method, one intestine is turned inside out and placed inside another, and the adjacent surfaces are pressed together by inserting a forming-member, or by tying one end of the double casing and inflating it from the other end. Drying is allowed to take place while the two surfaces are in contact. The casing is then slit longitudinally and the edges are cut to size and to give a slight longitudinal taper. A line of stitching is put through the two side edges. The material is then soaked in water to separate the adhering surfaces and form a tube which is preferably turned inside out. Instead of pressing the intestines together in the tubular form, the tubes miy be cut and spread out for stretching and drying on a board. Other membranes may be similarly treated, and the edges may be secured in other ways than by stitching.

Abstract: 10,219. Hale, F. M. April 30. Projectile fuses.-Relates to projectiles, of the kind described in Specification 15,045/08, which projectiles are of greater diameter than the bore of the gun, and are fixed on a rod adapted to extend into the gun-barrel. The invention consists in a safety-catch for the movable firing-element of the fuse, this catch being held in position by a mass of slow-burning composition, ignited on the discharge of the projectile. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the projectile 1 carrying the rod 2 has a central tube 4 containing a fixed detonator 5 and a slidable firing-pin 6, which is held in its rearward position by a catch 8 engaging a groove in the rear of the pin. The catch is held in position by a plug 10 of cordite, or other slow-burning composition, which is adapted to be ignited on the discharge of the projectile by the impact of an auxiliary firing-pin 12 on a detonator 14. The gases due to the combustion of the plug escape by way of a hole 17 covered by a cap expelled by the pressure of the gases. A screw 16, locking the auxiliary firing-pin 12 in the safe position, and a pin 18 similarly locking the main firing-pin 6, are withdrawn by hand before discharge. In a modification, the catch 8 and the auxiliary firing-device are enclosed in the main firing - pin 6. Specification 26,764/11 is referred to.
