Title: Improvements in Electric Arc Lamps.
Inventor: WETTER JASPER
IPC: H05B31/00
Filed: 1911-08-04
Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 17,778. Wetter, J., [Ges. f³r Maschinen und Metall-Industrie]. Aug. 4. Arc lamps. - In a clutch lamp having inclined electrodes partly counterbalanced by a single weight e, to which they are connected by cords or chains, the holder of that electrode a which is engaged by the clutch f is made heavier than the holder of the other electrode b, which is swung to strike and regulate the arc. This arrangement prevents the second electrode from being carried down too far during feeding, in consequence of its momentum and of the play in the chains or cords. The chains or cords may be of such weight as to compensate by their movements over pulleys for-the diminution of weight of the burning electrodes. The clutch f acts by gravity, being mounted on a stationary pivot g, and may be disengaged by a three-armed lever q which is also pivoted to a slide h surrounding the movable electrode. The lever q is linked to the core l of a differential solenoid.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Gyrostatic Apparatus.
Inventor: GRAY JAMES GORDON
IPC: A63H11/14
Filed: 1912-02-03
Granted: 1913-01-30
Abstract: 2877. Gray, J. G. Feb. 3. Gyroscopic apparatus. - In gyroscopic apparatus comprising a dirigible longitudinally movable wheeled structure, such as a toy bicycle, making contact with the ground at two separate points simultaneously and capable of being tilted round an instantaneous axis formed by joining these points, the gyroscope frame has a swivel connexion with the structure as shown at j' in Fig. 2, or the gyroscope frame and part of the structure have a swivel connexion with the other part r of the structure, as shown at j, Figs. 1 and 1<a>, the gyroscope frame being rigid with the front wheel a. If the gyroscope spins in the same. direction as the wheels, then, in the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 1<a>, tilting over to either side is followed by precession which carries round the front wheel to that side, thus righting the bicycle. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, the ends of a bar b on the gyroscope frame are joined by strings to the ends of the handle-bar, and the action is as in the first construction. In order to accelerate the precession, the construction is such that when the structure or part of the structure by which the gyroscope frame is carried is maintained in a vertical plane, the centre of gravity of the gyroscope, its frame, and attachments is confined to move in a circular path disposed in a plane which is inclined to the horizontal and perpendicular to the axis of the swivel connexion, and that when the said centre of gravity occupies the highest position of the circle the axis of the gyroscope is horizontal and the plane of the spinning body is parallel to that of the structure. The gyroscope may be spun in the opposite direction to that of the wheels, in which case upon the occurrence of a tilt the accelerated precession carries the centre of gravity of the gyroscope, its frame, and attachments rapidly over to the side opposite to that towards which the tilt has occurred and rights the bicycle. The bicycle may be caused to travel in a circular path by attaching a weight to one side.

Title: Manufacture on Cores for Winding Paper and the like in Rolls.
Inventor: ELIXMAN THEODORE
IPC: B65H75/10
Filed: 1912-03-06
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 5674. Elixman, T. March 6. Winding webs.-Cores for winding paper rolls on, of the kind formed of several layers of tough paper cemented together to form a strong tube, are fitted at their ends with protecting-bushings made of one piece of sheet metal which can be applied to the cores without any considerable reduction in thickness of the material on the ends of the core. As shown, the bushing is formed of sheet metal, preferably steel, drawn and rolled into a shell shaped to conform to the tubular body of the core, and having the same exterior and interior dimensions as the core. The walls c, d of the bushing are connected by an annular member which is bevelled at e towards the wall c and rounded towards the wall d. The thickness of the walls c, d is about that of two layers of paper of the core, so that by scoring the core internally and externally along the lines i, and removing two layers of paper, and bevelling the inner edge and rounding the outer edge of the core, it is ready to receive the bushing. A notch f, for receiving a projection on the winding-shaft, is made in the bushing before applying it, and a similar notch f<1> is made in the core after the bushing is applied. Rivets are driven through holes g to securo the bushing in place on the core.

Abstract: 7844. Holliday, H. H., and Steven, A. K. April 1. Combined solid-fuel and gas stoves.-A sitting-room fire-grate has at one or both sides one or more hollow hobs into which there may be moved a gas-fire basket pivoted at the sides of the fire-grate. Fig. 2 shows in plan a firegrate having pivoted at its sides two gas-fire baskets c, d, which can be turned about vertical pivots ee<1>, ff<1> into projecting hobs a, b, in which they may be enclosed by doors, such as g, Fig. 3. The baskets may be pivoted on horizontal pivots at jj<1>, kk<1>, in which case the upper ends of the hobs may be movable to enable the baskets to pass into the hobs. The hobs may be integral with the fire-place, or removally attached thereto. They may form only the outer parts of the recesses, the inner parts being formed in the jambs. One hob may be made to suffice for the whole of the gas-fire. In the stove shown in Fig. 3 the gas-fire basket is formed in two parts l, m pivoted together at n so as to fold together before being turned about the pivot o into the recess in the hob p.

Abstract: 19,347. Soc. J. & A. Niclausse. May 2, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Regulating delivery by varying speed of motor.-In connexion with the supply of fuel to a boiler furnace special means are provided for effecting this under control of the boiler pressure and, although in the form of the invention described, the motor 1 actuates grate-bars 12, it may alternatively actuate a pump for liquid fuel. The distributing-valve of the reciprocating motor 1 is actuated through cone-andbelt gearing 18, 20, and its speed is varied by shifting the belt .20. This is effected by a spring-loaded piston regulator 25 exposed to the boiler pressure and acting through a lever 31 and rod 33. The lever 31 may be shifted by hand and locked by a rack 57. A spring-loaded valve combined with the stop-cock 40<1> cuts off steam from the regulator 25 until a predetermined pressure is reached in the boiler. The piston-rod of the motor 1 is connected to an adjustable hydraulic cushion, Fig. 3, constituted by a piston 49 moving in a cylinder the ends of which are connected through an adjustable opening. The cushion cylinder is surrounded by a casing which is kept full by condensation water from the regulator 25.

Granted: 1913-07-17
Abstract: 20,700. Harper, R. O. Sept. 11. Controlling different functions by same handle or lever; guarding against wrong movements.- The change-speed lever can be moved into an additional slot in its gate or quadrant so as to disconnect it from the change-speed gear-wheels and connect it to gear whereby the engine can be started when the lever is operated. When the lever 7 is moved into the additional slot 6, the selecting-arm 4 moves out of contact with the usual gear forks and a clutch 8 on the lever shaft 5 engages with an arm 13, which is now clutched to the shaft. The arm 13 is connected by links 14 to a lever 15 which engages with a vertically-guided rack 10, so that when the lever 7 is moved in the slot, this rack is depressed and gears with a pinion on a lay shaft 3 in the gearbox. As the lever is pulled back again, the rack rotates the shaft 3, which gears with the first gear shaft 2 and so rotates the engine shaft, the main clutch being let in. The tops of the teeth of the pinion and of the lowest tooth or teeth of the rack are bevelled, as shown in Fig. 4<a>, along the lines C, D and E, F, tangential to the toothed surfaces at the moment of engagement, to prevent jamming. In order to prevent accidental entry of the gear lever into either of the reverse or starting slots, these slots are guarded by stops of different heights, which are normally engaged by a projection 20 on the lever, Fig. 7. When the grip 18 is depressed against a spring 19, the straight part of a groove 21 allows the projection 20 to descend sufficiently to enter the reverse slot, while if the grip is depressed and rotated, the projection can then clear the stop in the starting-slot.
