Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 18,789. Putz, F. R. Aug. 16. Brasses and bushes.-A bearing or brass for shafts &c. of the kind in which white metal is secured in a shell or casing by means of a skeleton framework, is provided with means to prevent the shaft from being damaged by the screw or rivet that secures the framework to the shell in the event of the white metal being worn or melted, and also to prevent the shaft from coming into contact with the skeleton framework. For the former of these purposes, the screw or rivet B, Fig. 1, that secures the framework A to the shell C is placed in a countersunk hole B in the framework. For the latter purpose, one or more blocks G of gunmetal, brass, bronze, or other metal, harder than the white metal E, are placed within the bearing so as to be exposed and support the shaft if the white metal be worn down or melted. These blocks, when exposed, give an indication bv their colour that undue wear has taken place. The blocks G may be cast into some of the openings in the framework A, and may project through the framework into recesses in the shell C. The blocks may take the form of collars in tubular bearings, or of perforated sheets of bronze; they may be provided also in an endthrust bearing.

Abstract: 2009. Campbell, G. A., Blackwell, O. B., and Colpitts, E. H. April 11, 1912, [Convention date]. Duplex and multiplex systems; induction, preventing. - Apparatus for testing the balance of phantom telephone circuits comprises a .capacity bridge arrangement with a variable condenser and switches for varying and transposing the circuits. The apparatus is shown in Fig. 1 connected so as to test the balance of two sections A, B, each with two pairs of conductors. The switches 40, 41, 42 are arranged to connect together directly the conductors 11, 12 forming one pair and 13, 14 forming the other pair of the section A with the corresponding conductors 11<1>, 12', 13', 14<1> in the other section B. Conductors 11, 11' are connected through one winding of a repeating- coil 29 with an arm 25<c> carrying the movable plate 25<b> of a variable condenser, the conductors 12, 12' being connected directly with the arm. The fixed plates 25<a> of the condenser are connected with the conductors 13, 13<1> and 14, 14<1> and with one winding of a repeating- coil, the other winding of which is connected in circuit with one winding of an induction coil 27<d>. The bridge is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 4, the four arms a, b, c, d being formed by the capacities between the conductors, together with the parts of the variable condenser inserted in the arms c, d. A telephone receiver 28 is connected in circuit with the repeating- coil 19. The generator consists of a transmitter 27<a>, a receiver 27<b>, a battery 27<c>, and an induction coil 27<d>. The arm 25<b> carries a scale moving below a fixed pointer. In making a test, the condenser is adjusted until a balance is obtained; the reading on the condenser then indicates the unbalance between the circuits. The switches 40, 41 may then be changed over to transpose the conductors 11, 11<1>, 12, 12' or 13, 13<1>, 14, 14' and other readings taken. In order to test the unbalance between either side of a phantom circuit and each of the conductors of the other side, the switch 30 is changed over so as to connect two inductances 26 to form two arms of the bridge. The switch 30 also connects in parallel the circuits 11, 11<1> and 12, 12' to form one side of the phantom circuit, these circuits being connected with the movable arm 25<c>. The other circuits are arranged as in the previous test. The unbalance between the side 11, 11<1>, 12, 12<1> and the conductors 13, 13' and 14, 14' is indicated by the reading of the condenser when the bridge is balanced. The switch 47 may then be reversed so as to connect the circuits 13, 13<1>, 14, 14<1> to form one side of the phantom circuit, which may then be tested with the conductors 11, 11<1>, 12, 12<1>. One or more of the switches 40, 41, 42 may then be reversed to transpose either the conductors in each pair, or the pairs themselves so as to obtain the best balance. The apparatus may he used for testing a single section.

Abstract: 23,848. Malard, G. Oct. 28, 1912, [Convention date]. Travelling - band type; washing processes. - Raw wool, after it has been soaked and scoured and before it is washed, is fed by an endless apron A to an opener, consisting of blade wheels B, B<1>, which opens, draws, and mills it by continuous strokes, alternately upwards and downwards, transforming it from a thick layer into a uniform thin one, which falls on to a more quickly moving endless apron D, suitably perforated, whereon it is sprinkled with hot liquid, preferably from the first bath of the washing machine, by a sprinkler G; the moistened layer, resting on the apron D, is then pressed by a superposed roller E, the pressure being adjustable by means of weighted levers L, to separate, split, and disaggregate the earth, sand, and dung on the filaments, which substances are mainly removed with the liquid, and flow through the perforations of the apron D into a basin K, wherein any wool filaments carried off are caught upon a perforated false bottom. A carding device J, having laminated leather blades, again opens the wool and facilitates its fall into the first washing bath H. The perforated apron D is of malleable cast iron, perforated or sheet steel. The sprinkler G is fed from the first washing bath H by a suitable pump I. The liquid running from the squeezing rollers E, F is charged with grease, and this is preferably removed before passing to the sewer. The blade wheels B, B<1> are geared together, so that the intermeshing is maintained, and conical pulleys are provided so that their speed can be modified when fine, short wool is treated. The blades are cut with a saw-edge, or are furnished with sufficiently strong needles, spaced apart and alternating, those of one roller with those of the other. These rollers may be in the form of small drums, Fig. 3, provided with three wings disposed in the form of a V, of which the apex points in the direction opposite to that of rotation. Collectors Q are placed on the shaft of the lower squeezing roller F, to prevent dirty liquid from entering the naves thereof.

Granted: 1914-09-03
Abstract: 28,566. Avery, W. & T., Hill, F. C. G., and Munro, W. Dec. 11. Printing-apparatus for weighing-apparatus.- In a steelyard weight-apparatus of the kind wherein a printed record can be obtained only when the steelyard is in equilibrium, the printing-mechanism is normally held away from the printing position and can only be brought into this position when the steelyard is in equilibrium. The printing-lever q is pivoted on a sliding plate a which is normally retained in its upper or non-printing position, by the action of supporting-springs d. When the steelyard is in equilibrium, the plate a may be depressed into the lower position, that is into the printing position, by means of a handle rigid with cams l contacting with the plate, but if the steelyard be not in equilibrium, the depression of the plate a to the printing position is prevented by the failure of a projection e<1> on the plate to enter a corresponding recess f<1> arranged over the fulcrum of the steelyard. To prevent disturbance of the steelyard by unsuccessful attempts to engage the projection e' with the recess f<1> the surface adjacent to the mouth of the recess is made arc-shaped with the fulcrum of the steelyard as a centre. In pulling forward the printing-handle q to effect a printing operation, a pin t on the printing-handle engages a spring-pressed hook r' pivoted on the hub of the cams l with the result that the return movement of the printing-handle carries with it the handle j, thus reducing the number of operations required to obtain a record. The hand-lever j may be connected with the poise weights of the steelyard so that, when operated, it locks the poise weights.
