Abstract: 6962. Bellem, L. L., and BÚrgÚras, G. J. B. March 25, 1909, [Convention date]. Magnetos, driving. - An ignition magneto is connected to its driving-shaft by a crank-pin and slot mechanism adapted at starting, by relative shifting of the shafts, to give the magneto shaft an increased velocity over part of each revolution. The magneto b, Fig. 1, is driven from a shaft a by a crank c, fixed thereto, having a pin c<1> engaging a slot d<1> in an arm d on the magneto shaft b<1>. For normal running, the shafts a, b<1> are in line ; but for starting, the magneto, which is mounted in a slide e, is moved to the position shown by turning the screw f, which engages a nut b<2>. In a modification, Fig. 3, the magneto is stationary, and the driving-shaft g is connected to the shaft a by a chain i and pinions h, j, which are mounted in a casing arranged to swing about the sbaft g and be retained either in the position in which the shafts a, b<1> are in alinement, or, as shown, by a spring pin engaging holes m, m<1> in the engine frame. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the casing k is also arranged to swing about the shaft g, but the chain is replaced by a pinion n, and, instead of the pin and slot device, there is a block p, sliding diametrically, across a plate.q, and having a pin p<1> engaging a disk o on the shaft a.

Abstract: 8372. Blackburn, G. G. April 7. Hand-trucks.-A trolly to enable pianos and other heavy furniture to be handled by one man without damage to carpets &c., consists of a box-like frame supported upon several rollers threaded upon a common spindle and separated by washers. Fig. 1 shows an inverted view of a trolly having two side frames strengthened by three cross-ribs b, b', b<2> in the lower part of which an axle c is fixed. Two or more rollers d separated bv washers are mounted with considerable side play on each half of the axle c, the treads of the rollers being rounded or bevelled to prevent their edges from cutting or marking the floor. One of the side frames projects above the surface of the trolly as shown at e, e<1> to abut against the end of the piece of furniture to be moved, but when it is necessary to balance the load over the trolly, a block of wood g, grooved to take over the projections e, e<1>, is placed on the trolly and may be secured thereto by flat spring catches pivoted to the block and having holes at their free ends adapted to be snapped over the ends of the axle c. The block g may, instead, be secured by a pin engaging a slot in the projection e, e<1>, or the projection e, e<1> may be omitted and the side frames provided with horizontal wing portions having holes to take attachment screws. The ends of the block g may be provided with pads or cushions. The box may be of wood, but is preferably of malleable iron or steel and the rollers are of hardwood or vulcanized rubber or of brass, iron, or steel.

Abstract: 22,058. Ward, A., and Gent, A. S. Oct. 6. Lasting.-A head on a bed-lasting machine is adapted to be moved towards the work by a hand-lever for long movements, and by a screw for short ones. The screw E operated by a hand-wheel F swings in pivots on a log a on the machine frame, and is balanced so that normally its teeth engage a half-nut G. The half-nut is secured to a carriage B carrying the head. The hand-lever L is pivoted to an eye-pin which can turn in a lug a<1> on the machine frame. The lever is normally pressed upwards by a spring M against a cross-pin N on a stud K projecting from the carriage B through a hole in the lever. When the lever is used, it is depressed against the spring M, and bears against and turns the screw E about its pivot d, thus freeing it from the nut G and permitting the carriage to be moved by the lever alone. When the handle is released, the spring M lifts the lever again, and the screw E is swung upwards by the weight of the hand-wheel F to engage the nut.

Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 27,275. Westinghouse Brake Co., and Brown, H. G. Dec. 5. Electrical systems, automatic; lamp signals.- In alternating or pulsatory current signalling where the signals preferably comprise two or more differently coloured lamps, one of the lamps, preferably the ' danger ' lamp, is permanently connected in a circuit which includes one circuit of a controlling-device, another circuit of which is so inductively related thereto that, when supplied with alternating current, the action of the first circuit as regards permitting current to pass through the signal is neutralized or rendered ineffective. A 'danger' lamp 1 is connected to two suitable points in the secondary winding 3 of a supply transformer 4, the circuit also including the secondary winding 6 of a controlling-transformer 7. The primary winding 8 is in circuit with a safety lamp 2, the circuit being connected to the terminals of the winding 3 and including a switch 9 controlled by a magnet 10 in a track circuit 11. When a train is in the section, magnet 10 is short-circuited, the circuit of lamp 2 is broken and the ' danger ' lamp glows. When the track is clear, the magnet 10 closes the switch 9 and the ' safety ' lamp 2 is energized, while the current in the winding 8 induces a current in the winding 6 of equal and opposite electromotive force to that received from the transformer 4. The ' danger ' lamp is thus de-energized. Alternatively, the red lamp 1 and the winding 6 may be in parallel, the induced current in the winding 6 then neutralizing the effective impedance so as to practically short-circuit the lamp 1.

Abstract: 27,923. Lake, H. W., [Chase Rolling Mill Co.]. Dec. 12. Squirting. - A billet held in a container is converted into a tube, rod, or the like by advancing and embedding one or more dies in the side of the billet and t h e n simultaneously pressing on the ends to extrude the metal. The container 2 has conical holes 4 into each of which a die 8 and mandrel 7 are advanced by a double - acting hydraulic cylinder 38 acting on a cross-head 35. Rings 47 are mounted in the container-support 14, and the die and mandrel holders are provided with interrupted threads 59, 46 so that a slight rotation of the holders after they have b e e n advanced locks them in position. This rotation is effected by a notched ring 49 turned by a rack 54 operated by hydraulic cylinders 56, 57. After the dies have been embedded in the billet, the ends of the billet are pressed by plungers 16 actuated by pistons 22 to extrude the tube. The dies are then withdrawn and the unextruded end of the billet ejected in any convenient manner. In order to extrude rods, the mandrel 7 may be replaced by a die, or a number of dies may be mounted in each holder. A number of tubes may be simultaneously extruded by arranging a number of dies and mandrels in the holders or in other positions in the central portion of the container.
