Title: Improvements in or relating to Straight Bar Knitting Frames.
Inventor: SALZER BRUNO
IPC: D04B15/64
Filed: 1911-05-01
Granted: 1911-10-26
Abstract: 10,555. Salzer, B., and Lõssig, F. W. May 1. [Addition to 787/11.] No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Straight-bar machines.-Relates to the invention described in the parent Specification for arresting the thread-guide bars 7 against their stops 9 without shock. The stops 9 are carried by verticals 17 attached to nuts 16 mounted on the fashioning-screws 15. The bars 7 are driven from the slur-cock rail 1, by means of fingers 4 rotatably mounted on rods 5. The fingers 4 are disconnected from the driving abutments 6 before the rods 7 arrive at the stops 9, by means of inclines 8 carried on bars 19 attached to the nuts 16. The rods 7 then come to rest and are drawn gently against their stops by bell-cranks 10, 21 pivoted to the verticals 17. The upper arms 10 carry latches 11 which drop over engaging sockets 12 on the rods 7, while the lower arms 21 carry rollers 23 which run over cams 24 on the slur-cock rod 1. As the rods 7 reach the stops 9, inclines 10 engage pins 14 and lift the latches 11 to release the rods 7. On the return traverse, the fingers 4 pass over the inclines 8 which are pivoted so as to yield in one direction, and are operated by corresponding inclines on the left-hand side of the machine.

Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 12,435. Scholz, G. May 23. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Potato planters.-A potato harvester having means for adjusting the front of the machine, for tensioning the driving-chains, and for supporting the elevator scoops, is converted into a potato planter by removing the digging, elevating, and sifting apparatus, and substituting furrow openers and closers and special planting - mechanism. The potatoes are dug and delivered into a sieve casing 33, Fig. 1, by the scoops'19 of an endless elevator, which is supported by brackets 14, 16 and is driven from the rear axle 7. by spur gearing 9, 10, a countershaft 6, and chain gearing 11, 12, 13. The shaft 6 and axle 7 are mounted in brackets 4, 5 which are adjusted along guides 3 by means of screwed spindles 43 and hand-wheels 42, thus regulating the tension of the chains 12. The front of the frame 1 is provided with a seat and is connected to a ring 26 surrounding a handwheel or nut 25 which is adjustable along the screwed standard 24 of the fore-carriage. For potato planting, furrow-openers 46, Fig. 6, are fastened to a square bar 45 fixed in the brackets 14, and a seed-receptacle 47 is substituted for the sieve casing, feeding-wheels being mounted on the shaft 6, and covering- holes 61 on the rear frame bar. Potatoes are delivered one at a time from tapering hoppers into pockets 48 in the feed-wheels. They pass through apertures provided with spring - controlled slotted slides 51, which are actuated periodically by the engagement of toothed sectors 58 with a pinion 56. A cord connected to the slides is wound round a pulley attached to the pinion 56. The potatoes are agitated by projections 59 on the slides. Guards 62 prevent the discharge of the potatoes from the pockets 48 until they reach the discharge spouts 62.

Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 19,676. James, R. W., [Brown Hoisting Machinery Co.]. Sept. 4. Staiths and elevated structures; grab-buckets. -Apparatus for use in loading and unloading comprises a crane-like structure having a travelling crab carrying a telescopic depending member pivotally supporting a grab adapted to co-operate with a travelling hopper. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the structure A runs on rails on the edge of a quay, and carries a double beam G having a pivoted end adapted to be raised as shown in dotted lines. Running on rails r on the upper edge of the beam is a trolly T on which is mounted a turntable H adapted to be rotated by a motor M. The upper members S of three telescoping members carries trunnions U, Fig. 5, journaled in plates P depending inside the turntable. The member S is rocked about the trunnion by a rod 0 from a crank-shaft C<1> operated by a motor M<2>. The trollv is propelled by a motor M' driving one set of the wheels W<2>. Mounted on the upper end of the member S is a turntable H<1> carrying two sets of three sheaves E<3>. Pivoted on the longitudinal axis of the trolly T are further sets of three sheaves E<1>. A pair of ropes K is employed for lifting the telescoping members S, S', S<2> and ropes k are provided for equalizing the movements of the members. Each rope K is anchored at the outer end of the track and passes by the sheaves E<1>, E<3> to sheaves E<4> fastened in the lower member S<2>, and thence by the other sheaves E<3>, E<1> and over a pulley E<5> at the other end of the track to a winding- machine I. A counterweight Z is employed for balancing the telescoping members. The grab N is pivoted on a pin D<2> passing through the lower part and to one side of the member S<2>. The grab opens automatically and is closed by an endless rope K<1> passing round a sheave on the grab cross-head, sheaves J on the pin D<2>, and a sheave E<8> at the lower end of a vertically-displaceable rod l carrying at its other end a sheave E'. The operating-rope K<2> passes round the sheave E<7> and over the sheaves E<1>, E<3> to the winding-machine in the same manner as the ropes K. The hopper X is carried by depending members V provided with wheels W<3> running on tracks beneath the tracks r. The hopper is traversed by a motor M<3> driving sheaves E<13> round which pass ropes K<3> anchored to the outer end of the beam G and passing over sheaves E<17> to a drum J' on the top of the frame A for taking-up the slack. A weighing- machine Y travels on rails r<3> beneath the hopper X for discharging the contents into trucks beneath.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a Machine for Cutting Buttons and the like from Mother-of-pearl and similar Hard Materials.
Inventor: PELCOT HENRY
IPC: B29D19/04
Filed: 1912-01-27
Granted: 1912-08-29
Abstract: 2235. Pelcot, H. July 20, 1911, [Convention date]. Drills.-In a machine for cutting out circular blanks, buttons, &c. the material to be cut is held against the cutter by a fluid-operated plunger. The driver 51, which acts yieldingly on the material to be treated, is mounted upon and actuated by a piston 17 in a cylinder 18. Valves 22, 23 communicate with either end of the cylinder 18 and are actuated to admit fluid to the cylinder and operate the driver 51 by a cone 33 on a double piston 34, 35 pneumatically actuated in either direction by a manual valve 24. At either end of its stroke the piston 17 operates tappet valves 26, 27 to admit a small quantity of compressed air to the exhausting ends of the cylinder 18 and deaden the final movement of the piston. If it is necessary to apply further driving-pressure to the piston 17 for the cutting operation, a valve 25 is operated and admits an additional quantity of compressed fluid to the end 20 of the cylinder 18. The cam operation of the valve 22 may be made continuous by the use of a rotating cam shaft in place of the pistons 34, 35 and cone 33. The milling-cutter head and driver may be interchanged, in which case the rotating cutter has the movements above described with relation to the driver 51, and a rod may pass through the cutter and hold the material against the fixed driver while being cut.
