Abstract: 25,683. Stephenson, J. H. J. A. Nov. 18, 1910, [Convention date]. Locating faults in insulation; electro-magnetic current meters.-A volt-meter J is used, having its scale marked to indicate units of length of the cable tested. The faulty cable A<2> is connected in series with another cable A', an adjustable resistance w and a battery, and the resistance is varied until the deflexion on the volt-meter J, which is connected between the cables, indicates their total length; the voltmeter is then connected to earth by means of a switch u, and the deflexion then indicates the distance of the fault f. The volt-meter reading may otherwise be controlled by means of a resistance in series with the volt-meter. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also means for controlling the volt-meter, consisting either of a tension head, or of a magnetic shunt pivoted so that the field of a permanent magnet may be varied. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 4095. Hurd, F. W. Feb. 19. Conveying from working face in mines and the like; skips; terminals for suspended ways.- A conveyer for use in coal mines and like restricted places comprises a series of buckets H carried along the working face A by a rope formed in two parts A<1>, A<2> connected by shackles B, B<1> and passing over driving and tail pulleys B<2>, C at the ends of the run, with or without a bight diverted into the road M over a pulley L<2>. The buckets H, Fig. 2, are formed with skids H<2> to which are secured ropes J<1> having shackles J<2> whereby the buckets are secured to ropes K spliced to the haulage rope. The driving and tail pulleys are carried upon frames D provided with jacks C<2>, C<3> whereby they may be anchored between the roof and the floor. The lower flanges of the pulleys are gapped to permit the passage of the ropes K. The driving-pulley B<2>, which is of the automatic grip form described in Specification 1000/79, [Class 80, Mechanism &c.], is integral with an internally-toothed drum E<2>, round which is coiled a rope E<3>. The drum E<2> gears with a pinion E<1> on a vertical shaft carrying a worm-wheel driven from the crank-shaft of an engine D<1> mounted on the frame D. When it is desired to shift the conveyer, the shackles B, B<1> are disconnected, the driving pulley is moved to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, and a fresh pulley R<3> is set up in front of the pulley C. The rope E<3> is then employed for hauling the rope A<2> from the position shown in full lines to that shown in dotted lines between the props R<2> and the receded face, whereupon the ropes A<1>, A<2> are connected up again. The haulage rope may be reciprocated along the working face and employed in conjunction with a short train of buckets. Discharge of the buckets may be effected at either of the stations M', M<2>. This is effected over a bridge, Fig. 10, held in position by props N<2>, and formed with a hopperlike depression over the roadway M. When the buckets reach the depression, the rear ends are held up by a hook Q<2> engaging a rod Q<1>, while the forward ends fall on to a pivoted plate Q resting on a stop P<3>. When it is not desired to discharge the buckets, the plate Q is raised to an horizontal position, where it is held by a rod hung on pins R'.

Title: Improvements in Belt Lacing Machines.
Inventor: RAHRER ALBERT
IPC: F16G3/00
Filed: 1913-07-01
Granted: 1914-04-02
Abstract: 15,192. Rahrer, A. July 1. Stapling and discontinuous wire-stitching. - To insert wire coils into the ends of belts, the belt is first clamped between a fixed jaw 5 and a jaw 17 guided for parallel movement by ribs 25, 26 running in grooves in side plates 7, 8, between which the jaw 5 is fixed. A lever 13 effects this operation through an eccentric 12 to which it is secured, and an upper jaw section 16 articulated to the jaw 17. The coil-inserting mechanism, which is carried by a separate frame hinged to the fixed frame and sustained by stops 88, 90, comprises a belt-supporting surface 91 and a stud 92 which, with the inner surface 94 on the side plate 7, squares the belt. A knife 34 with an inclined cutting-edge 36 is then drawn across the belt by a handle 33 to trim it. To insert the fastening, the trimmed belt is reversed and the inserting-mechanism swung up into operative position, Fig. 3, where it is retained by automatic catches 48 engaging inclines 57 and recesses 55 on the side plates 7, 8. These catches are subsequently released by handles 51. The coil-inserting means comprise a spindle 60 journaled in the end plates 44, 45 of the hinged frame and spindles 61, 62 housed in wings 65, 66 journaled at 70, 71 in the plates 44, 45. The pivots 70, 71 are eccentric to the axis of the spindles 61, 62 so that by turning the wings 65, 66 different sizes of wire coils may be dealt with or the tension applied to the coils may be varied. A handle 82 operates a screw 75 journaled in a cross-bar 46 and actuates simultaneously, through a cross-head 76 and links 77, 78, the wings 65, 66. The insertion of the wire coil is effected by turning a handle 100 which drives gears connecting all the spindles 60, 61, 62. Subsequently the wire coil is flattened by the jaws 5, 17 which engage the coil by serrated surfaces, the points of the serrations being blunted so as to enable the wire to be well embedded into the belt.
