Title: An Improved Orrery.
Inventor: BRANDT DAVID EMIL
IPC: G09B27/02
Filed: 1912-10-09
Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 23,047. Brandt, D. E. Oct. 9. Globes and orreries.- An apparatus for demonstrating the relative movements of the earth and sun is provided with (1) means whereby the earth globe is given an up-and-down movement relatively to a band which represents the plane of the ecliptic, (2) means for moving the band so that it can represent the plane of the " Milky way," and (3) a detachable looped band carrying slidablymounted earth and moon globes and adapted to be carried by an arm rotating relatively to the sun globe so as to illustrate the phenomena of eclipses. An adjustably-inclined sleeve 3, Fig. 2, is pivoted on a fork 2 on a supporting-pedestal 1, and carries a dial-plate 9 and a non-rotary gearwheel 11, both of which are inclined at an oblique angle to the axis of the sleeve 3. A rotatable and longitudinally-movable operating- shaft 20 passes through the sleeve 3 and is provided with an arm 22 carrying a roller 23 which engages an annular track-flange 12 on the face of the gear 11; the arm 22 also carries a gear supporting arm 25, a counterweight 24, a globe-supporting arm 27, and an arm 26 supporting a reflector 45. A band 13 is carried by two fixed hoops 14, 15 by means of pin connexions, the hoop 14 having two holes 19, 18 so arranged that when the connecting-pin 17 is in the hole 19 the plane of the band 13 approximates to the movement of the earth globe 34, and when the connecting-pin is in the hole 18 the plane of the band 13 represents the " Milky way." The light 16 representing the sun is also mounted on the hoop 14. The earth globe 34 is supported on a tubular spindle 35, Fig. 3, passing through large and small openings 30, 32 in cup-shaped members 29, 31 carried by the detachable extension 27<a> of the arm 27. The weight of the earth globe serves to keep its axis at an unvarying inclination. The spindle 35 is provided with a loose or fixed flange 36, which runs on the top of the member 29, and with a pulley 37 driven by a cross belt 38 from a pulley which is actuated from the non-rotary gear 11 through pinions 44, 42, 41 when the arm 27 is rotated together with the shaft 20. During this rotation, the roller 23 maintains its engagement with the flange 12 on the oblique gear 11; consequently the shaft 20 is also given a reciprocating movement in the sleeve 3, so causing the earth globe to have an up-and-down movement relatively to the band 13. The arm 25 carries a pointer 46 which moves over the dial-plate 9 bearing the names of the seasons &c. The globe 34 is marked with lines y, y<1> representing the equator and the ecliptic respectively. The detachable looped band 47, which carries an earth globe 48 and moon globe 49, is shown in Fig. 6, and is attached by a stem 51 to the arm 27 when the earth globe 34 and extension-arm 27<a> have been detached.

Title: Improvements in Presses for Producing Weldless Tubes.
IPC: B21C25/04
Filed: 1912-10-24
Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 24,357. Hydraulik Ges. Sept. 6, [Convention date]. Squirting. - In apparatus for making metal tubes by squirting between a mandrel and die, the mandrel, which is also used for piercing, is so mounted that it is free to centre itself during the squirting operation under the pressure of the metal being extruded. The mandrel rod a is mounted in a ball-and-socket joint in the cross-head g, and during the piercing operation the cross-heads g, d move together. At the termination of this operation, a coned part k engages the mandrel rod for centring purposes, and when the cross-head d moves on alone for the squirting operation, the mandrel is maintained centrically in position in the die b by the excess pressure at that side which has the narrowest orifice. Rings m, n prevent the escape of metal. In a modification in which there is only one cross - head, the mandrel rod has a stepped collar guided during the piercing operation in a shouldered part of the cross-head. The rod is dragged forward slightly during the squirting operation into a position to be free for centring. When using previously pierced blocks, the shouldered part is omitted and the mandrel rod may be joined to the cross-head by a universal joint.

Granted: 1915-06-17
Abstract: 21,314. Kellner, J., and Worms, S. Sept. 21, 1912, [Convention date]. Parallel machines; knitting neck-ties &c. Relates to the production of diagonally-striped knitted fabric for neck-ties, scarfs, &c. on a parallel machine by the use of a differential take-up motion, whereby one selvedge of a flat web is subjected to greater tension than the other, in conjunction with needle-bed rocking- apparatus. The web passes between a solid roll and a series of coaxial rolls 13, 14, 15, 16, of which 13 is mounted directly on the shaft 12, while the rolls 14, 15, 16 are mounted on tubular shafts 17, 18, 19. The shafts are driven from a shaft 24 by gearing, as shown, the effect being that the rolls rotate at different speeds, the roll 16 moving fastest, and place a greater tension on the left-hand side of the web than on the right. The rear needle-bed is also rocked by hand to the right and left alternately prior to the travel of the carriage by means of a grooved cam. The neck-tie &c. is fashioned for the neckband by diminishing the number of operative needles and by subsequent widening. The coloured stripes are, as shown, apparently located parallel with the top of the needle-bed during the knitting-process, but on removal, the stripes assume a diagonal position without further treatment.
