Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 3443. Shanks, E. B. Feb. 10. Pile supports for sheet feeds; sheet-separators.-Relates to means for separating and feeding paper bags one at a time from a bundle. The apparatus comprises a case 3 having an open inclined front, and a shelf or series of shelves 7 on which movable tables 8 for supporting the bundles of bags are carried. The tables 8 are held in the forward position by springs 28, and are provided with projecting handles 9 by means of which the table can be pushed back into the case. Each pile of bags is held in position by a plate 12, which is held by a pin 10 and pressed on to the pile by a spring 23. The back of the case is closed by two pivoted flaps 5, 6 to which are attached a series of feeders 14 adapted to engage the fold 16 at the bottom of the uppermost bag in each pile when the flaps 5, 6, are in the closed position. The flaps 5, 6, can be retained either in the open or closed positions by a rod which can be held at either end of an horizontal slot in the side of the casing. To feed a bag from one of the piles, the table 8 is pushed back to the stop 50. During this motion the feeder 14 holds the top bag B forward, so that, when the table has been returned by the spring 28, the top bag is left projecting.

Granted: 1913-01-16
Abstract: 15,683. Lea, C. July 6, 1911, [Convention date]. Tuft-yarn tubes,treading.-Ina machine for threading the tuft-yarn tubes of looms for weaving Axminster carpets &c., the tuft-yarn spool 2 is mounted in rotatable holders 3, which have locking-pins 47 adapted to engage holes in the ends of the spool and are adapted to be turned, to adjust the tension on the yarns, by means of pinions 51, 52 actuated by a handwheel 54. One of the holders 3 is moved longitudinally, against the pressure of a spring 50, when it is desired to remove the spool from the machine. Rotation of the spool is normally prevented by means of a pawl, which is disengaged, so as to allow the spool to rotate, when the needles commence to draw the yarns through the tubes, thus enabling the yarns to be trimmed down closely to the transfer comb 5. The yarns are laid across the needles, to ensure engagement, by means of a cam arranged to move an arm 28 carrying the comb 5. Instead of allowing the spool to rotate, the yarns may be slackened by movement of the transfer comb.

Title: Improvements in Pumps for Raising Water.
Inventor: BESANT ERNEST GEORGE
IPC: F04B49/04
Filed: 1912-09-21
Granted: 1913-09-18
Abstract: 21,517. Besant, E. G. Sept. 21. Actuating by hydraulic motors.-Water from a higher level is allowed to flow continuously into a chamber and raise a float having connected to it a piston of smaller cross-section than the chamber, for pumping water, means being provided for automatically emptying the water from the chamber faster than it comes in when the float has reached the top of its stroke. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the water enters the chamber B continuously through the pipe H, and is discharged intermittently through the siphon F whenever the chamber is full. The rise and fall of the float C causes a corresponding reciprocation of a pump bucket D of smaller cross-section than the chamber B, thus raising water from a well M. In other arrangements, the water raised is drawn from the same source of supply as that flowing through the pipe H, and a pump plunger may be connected directly to the float without the use of a connecting-rod L when the water to be raised is at the level of the float chamber.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Retrieving Devices for Trolley Collectors of Electric Traction Systems.
Inventor: KOEDDERITZSCH CURT
IPC: B60L5/14
Filed: 1913-08-28
Granted: 1914-08-07
Abstract: 19,475. K÷dderitzsch, C. Aug. 28. Retrievers for collectors. -In trolly-retrieving devices of the kind comprising a strong spring for retrieving and a weak spring for keeping the trolly rope taut, the rope winding drum or a disk connected thereto is adapted to move axially along a thread on the stationary drum shaft, whereby the retrieving-spring is automatically released when the collector jumps the conductor. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the rope drum b, when the rope unwinds, is moved along the fixed threaded spindle a towards the disk c which is under the action of the strong spring f. An abnormal movement of the rope brings the projection d on the rope drum into engagement with the projection e on the disk c, the tappet k, at the same time raising the pawl h and thereby releasing the disk. The disk and drum are then both moved to the right, and the collector is pulled down to a position of safety. The spring f is re-wound and the parts are re-set by pulling on the trolly rope. The pawl h is raised preparatory to re-locking the disk by means of the cam t formed on the disk. In a modified construction, the rope drum is fixed against axial movement and an axially-movable releasing-disk is interposed between the drum and the disk c. In the construction shown in Fig. 8, the rope drum is prevented from rotating by means of a spring-pressed catch s when the retriever is detached from its support on the vehicle. When the retriever is secured to its support v, the catch is automatically retracted by the two-armed lever u.

The inlet tube is arranged so as to form a liquid trap. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the extension 2 is screwed into the syringe 7 and is fitted with an inner tube 4 into w h i c h the sample is drawn through the pipe 1. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the extension 15 is connected to the syringe by a bayonet joint and the inner tube is dispensed with, the sample entering through a central pipe 17. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the extension consists of two close-fitting tubes 24, 22 which can be rotated relatively to each other. In one position, the sample of liquid can be drawn through the pipes 23, 25 into the inner tube. Upon rotation through 180 degrees, the hole 28 comes into alinement with the pipe 23 and the liquid can be discharged. In intermediate positions of the inner tube, the receptacle is closed. A cock may be fitted between the syringe and the extension for the purpose of tightening the washer of the plunger, the cock being closed and the plunger reciprocated so as to produce alternate compression and rarefaction of the air beneath it. The apparatus may be made narrow for insertion through the bungholes of casks &c., and may be telescopic to enable the inlet pipe to reach to the bottom of the cask.
