Patent GB-191028025-A (GB)
Inventor: IRONMONGER ALFRED
IPC: F03D7/02
Filed: 1910-12-02
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 28,025. Ironmonger, A. Dec. 2. [Addition to 16,385/10.] Screw motors; regulating.-Relates to improved mechanism for regulating windmills, of the kind described in the parent Specification, in which the sails are of canvas or other flexible material, and are arranged on the roller-blind principle for varying their effective area. The inner edges of each sail are fixed to cross-pieces C', Fig. 1, and the outer edges are secured to rollers F, the rollers being pulled outwards by cords J passing over pulleys E<3> and secured to rollers K. The rollers F are rotated by cords L secured to rollers g mounted upon the same shafts G as the rollers K. The effect of rotating the shafts G is to increase or decrease the sail area, according to the direction of rotation. The shafts G are simultaneously actuated by shafts N', Figs. 1 and 2, which are in turn actuated by a shaft M, Fig. 2, which passes through the wind-shaft B. To the other end of the shaft M is secured a friction pulley m. Figs. 2 and 5. A speed governor 0, Figs. 2 and 5, moves a laterally movable bar Q, so that, for speeds above or below the normal, a brake block R or a constantly rotated friction pulley U<2> is brought into engagement with the pulley m, thereby causing the shaft M to rotate faster or slower than the wind shaft B, and thereby altering the sail area. To start or stop the windmill, a rope Y<2>, Fig. 2, is pulled, thereby rocking a lever Y' carrying a pinion Y so as to cause this latter to engage a pinion X mounted on the end of the shaft M. On the same shaft as the pinion Y is a pulley Z, rotatable in either direction by a cord Z<1>, whereby the sails may be unfurled or furled as may be required.

Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 14,817. Fairweather, W. C., [Underwood Computing Machine Co.]. June 26. Adding-apparatus; column-spacing. - Relates to improved means, in motor - operated singlebank adding-machines, of the type described in Specification 8740/09, wherein a number of column-totalizers are provided together with a single line-totalizer, for automatically connecting the travelling or denomination-selecting member of the line-totalizer with the main carriage of the typewriter and for disconnecting it therefrom, whereby the column-stop rack-bar with the adjustable stops is employed to connect the travelling member with the typewriter-carriage. The master-wheel 32 of the line-totalizer is moved longitudinally to engage the internal teeth of the computing-wheels by means of a spindle 40 which is attached to a double-armed lever 42. The rear end of this lever is slotted to engage a pin 52 on an adjustable slide 53 attached to the stem 54 of a hook 55. The hook is adapted to engage lugs 56 formed on column stops 57 which are forked to fit the notches on the bar 21 of the main carriage. The masterwheel is returned to the next column position by the engagement of the hook 55 with a projection 70 which thereby releases the hook from the lug and returns it under the action of a spring 71 until it is arrested by the lug of the succeeding stop. The slide 53 works in a hollow slotted guide 58 which at its end is provided with a boss 64 containing a spring 63 and plunger 66 adapted to maintain the hook in its raised position engaging the lugs. To begin a new line of writing the carriage will move the hook 55 to the left in Fig. 2, until the hook is depressed by a pin 72 whereby it is released and the succeeding hooks ride over the bevel 75. Various forms of column-stops are shown which may be used for tabulating when it is not desired to compute, for connecting the master - wheel to the main carriage, or for both of these purposes.

Abstract: 13,049. Johnson, G. W., [Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron]. June 3. Hydrogen.-In the process of removing carbon monoxide from gaseous mixtures containing it, for instance water gas or illuminating gas, and replacing it by hydrogen, by passing such mixtures with steam at 400‹-750‹C. over caustic lime, the latter is used in pieces instead of powder. The reaction preferably takes place in vertical vessels or towers. The carbonated lime may be re-calcined, if desired, in the reaction vessels; in this case, a second or further towers may be brought into use while the revivification proceeds in one. The gaseous mixtures treated may contain additional gases, such as nitrogen, which passes on with the hydrogen obtained: Specification 2523/09 is referred to.

Granted: 1913-11-13
Abstract: 26,255. Lee, G. P. M., and Brame, W. A. Nov. 15. Cleaning and picking.-Articles to be electroplated, such as springs, short pieces of tube or T or angle iron, or small castings, unsuitable for treating in barrels, are mounted between upper and lower holders in a carrier which is constructed so that it or the individual articles, or both, can be rotated, and is transferred from vat to vat for the pickling, washing, plating, second washing, and drying operations. The carrier may be hung from a runway, or from an arm on a post around which the vats are placed. If the carrier is stationary, the vats may be rotated. Fig. 1 shows an annular plating-vat a, on the outer edge of which rests a carrier consisting of upper and lower rings b, b<1> connected by stays b<2>. The upper ring may be clipped to the vat. In both rings are circular rows of spindles b<3>, b<4> alined in pairs and having threaded ends for attachment of holders of various forms. Closed springs to be plated may be distended between upper and lower spindles. A belt passes around pulleys on the upper spindles so that they can rotate either all in one direction or alternately in opposite directions. On one of the upper spindles is a second pulley belted to a pulley on a driving-shaft which is either outside the vat or axially mounted in a spider b<6> attached to the upper ring. In the latter case, the lower end of the shaft is squared and tapered to enter the hollow end of a shaft d<1>, driven from below the vat. If the carrier is to rotate, the squared shaft is fixed in the spider, and the spindles may be rotated' by means of toothed wheels and a stationary circular rack. The upper ring may then rest on rollers on the edge of the vat. Several cleaning and plating vats may be used in connexion with one set of washing - tanks, as the washing requires less time than the other operations.
