Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 14,972. Poulson, A. June 27. Mould and core materials.-Spent foundry sand is renovated by incorporating compounds of magnesium other than the chloride. The magnesium compounds may be employed in addition to other previously used compounds. For dry - sand moulding, a mixture of 4 ounces each of sulphate of alomina, sulphate of magnesia, and water is employed in the proportion of 3¢ pounds to one undredweight of sand. For loam moulding, carbonate of magnesium is employed instead of sulphate. For green-sand work, more water may be added. According to the Provisional Specification, one ounce of sulphuric acid is employed in the mixture.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Sewing Machines.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
IPC: D05B57/12
Filed: 1913-01-01
Granted: 1913-09-18
Abstract: 68. Thompson, W. P., [Union Special Machine Co.]. Jan. 1. Sewing-machines; double-loop stitching; feed by dog.-In a machine having a overhanging tubular work-support and a feed-dog feeding axially, the oscillating looper and the feed-dog are operated by the same pair of eccentrics. The looper-shaft 23 is oscillated by an eccentricrod 25 to which a crank 24 is connected by a universal joint. The shaft is at the same time reciprocated axially to give the looper needleavoiding movements by an eccentric rod 36, lever 36, 33, and a link 32 which is jointed to a sleeve 30 retained between two collars 28, 29 secured upon the shaft. The feed-bar is moved vertically by means of a yoke 47 secured to it, between the arms of which is pivoted a sleeve embracing an eccentric on the looper-shaft; the sleeve permitting the axial movement of the shaft. The tail of the bar is slidingly supported upon a flattened portion of a spindle 42 mounted revolubly in the frame and, to receive the horizontal feeding movement, it is linked to a quadrant 39 which is rigidly secured to the lever 33, 35. Governing under thread.-The looper-thread passes from supply, through a tension device to a thread-measurer, a thread clamp, a take-up and through guiding-eyes to the looper. The take-up comprises a segmental arm, Fig. 7, with a forward concentric portion 50, which keeps the thread in proper relation to the threadguides when the take-up is inoperative, a cam or take-up portion 51 and a shank portion equidistant from the centre with the part 50. The take-up is thus operative twice in each complete oscillation; in the anti-clockwise movement in order to tighten and so position the looper loop prior to its being entered by the needle and in the clockwise movement during the forward or loop-engaging movements of the looper. Between the thread-measurer and the take-up, the thread is engaged by a clamp composed of two springs 58, 59 which are positively closed by a cam and are positively opened by a wedgepiece 67 secured upon the sleeve 27. Governing needle thread.-The presser bar is linked to a thread controlling lever 11 which co-operates with a thread eye 17 at the top of the needle bar to form a needle thread take-up. Through the linkage with the presser-bar, the position of the lever 11 is determined by the thickness of the work, and the thread measured off for each stitch is varied accordingly.

Abstract: 4679. Zerenner, C. W. Feb. 24. [Cognate Application, 19,163/13.] Making and finishing bricks. - A fireproof composition is made by means of the plant shown in Fig. 1. Pumice &c., after being ground in a machine c, is transferred by an elevator c<2> to a hopper d and truck e which contains the other ingredients. The mixture, after being thoroughly mixed with water in a gastight mixer f, is discharged by air pressure or by steam from a boiler h, either through a valved pipe f<7> to a mechanical press i, or through pipes f<9> valved at their inner and outer ends to the moulds k, Fig. 4, of an hydraulic slab press j. The ends of the two pipes f<9> are spaced apart and the two moulds k are connected together so that when either mould is under the press, the other is under the orifice of one of the pipes f<9>. A modified form of apparatus, shown in plan in Fig. 4, is employed for making a modified composition. Burnt lime is slaked in the vessel n, sieved at n<1>, and elevated to a silo n<3> where it matures. The desired quantity of lime and other ingredients with water are transferred to an intermittent or batch mixer f, any lumps that may have formed being broken up in an horizontal mixer o, which may be steam-jacketed. After moulding, the blocks are transferred to hardening-chambers q, q<1>. Steam is supplied from a boiler r to the chamber q and after some eight hours it is exhausted from q to q<1>. The apparatus shown in Fig. 4 may be used for making cement bricks by omitting the hydrating - apparatus and hardening- chambers.

Abstract: 2696. Jaenisch, E. Feb. 2. Uniting by fusion.-In making engine cylinders, particularly for internal-combustion engines for motor road vehicles, flying-machines, &c., from malleable metal parts united together by fusion, the cylindrical parts are provided with double stepped projecting edges to support the connecting-plates, the edges being pressed over to clamp the plates prior to uniting. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the cylinder 1 is provided with a number of collars having supporting-edges 2 and backed-off edges 4, between which are fixed, by pressing over the backed-off edges, the bottom plate 16, the bottom plate 3 of the water-jacket 20, and the middle plate 3 which supports the valve casings 5, which are likewise connected thereto between edges 6, 7. The cylinder cover 18 is provided with bevelled edges 19 for securing to the cylinder by the stepped edges 2, 4, and to the socket 8 for the compression tap by edges 9, 10, and the upper edges of this socket serve for connexion to the water-jacket cover 21, to which the upper ends of the valve casings are similarly secured.

Title: Improvements relating to the Operation of Polyphase Electric Motors in Connection with Single Phase Alternating Currents.
Inventor: LAMME BENJAMIN GARVER
IPC: H02K17/34
Filed: 1914-11-23
Granted: 1915-07-15
Abstract: 22,914. Lamme, B. G. Dec. 26, 1913, [Convention date]. Phase, changing.-A phase converter is employed in the supply of a polyphase motor from a single phase main and is so connected that one of its windings is in series with part of the motor windings, while the remainder of the motor and converter windings are connected in parallel across the source. The transformer primary 2 is supplied with single-phase current from the line 1, and the secondary 4, provided with end and intermediate taps 5, 6, is connected to the exciting-winding 7 of the phase converter 8. The converter winding 12 is in quadrature with the winding 7 and is connected between the transformer taps 6 and one of the motor switch terminals, the other terminals being connected to the ends of the transformer secondary. By arranging that the electromotive force in the coil 12 is 86À6 per cent of that in the secondary 4, balanced three-phase voltages are obtained. The stator windings 26, 27, 28 are normally mesh-connected, but leads are provided from their middle points to the switch 15 for the purpose of varying the connexion. A three-arm switch 40 connects the contacts 42, 43, 44 for star connexion. Similar connexions are made to the rotor windings 29, 30, 31 by switches 60, 56, the former 60 being connected to the electrodes 61, 62, 63 of a liquid resistance or to any other variable resistance, so that the speed may be increased gradually. The switches 9, 14 are employed to compensate for any reduction in, or phase displacement of, the electro-motive force of the winding 12 due to increase of the motor load. In a modification, the single three-phase converter. with adjustable connexions to the transformer secondary 4, is employed. Connexions suitable for a two-phase motor are shown in Fig. 4. The transformer has two independent secondaries, 80, 81, the former 80, being connected to the exciting-winding 7 of the phase converter 8, and the latter 81 to two terminals of the motor switch 82. The converter winding 12 is connected to the other two terminals of the switch 82. To compensate for phase distortion, the primary of an auxiliary transformer is connected across the source, and the secondary is connected in series with the winding 12, or an additional secondary on the main transformer may be connected in series with the winding 12. The same secondary coil may be used to supply the converting-winding 7 and one phase of the motor windings. The windings 7, 12 may be interconnected so that only one secondary winding on the transformer is necessary.
