Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 9395. Marks, Sir G. C., [representative of Pataud, H.]. April 22, 1911, [Convention date]. Metallic spring bodies and cores.-Elastic tyres of the kind formed of a chain stretched around the rim and supported at intervals upon pivoted or rocking supports are characterized by forming a certain number of links F with two bearing - surfaces f, f<1> formed on diametrically-opposite arcs of the same circle, the supporting-pins B, D of the other links engaging these being rigidly fixed so that there is rolling contact instead of sliding contact at the joints. As shown, there may be two chain series F, P with common connecting-members C carrying the pins. One of the supports G is fixed to the rini H. The others may be pivoted or have rounded bearing-surfaces for rolling contact only. The points B should be near or at the centre of the curve of the bearing surface g, g<1>. When this is not possible, as shown, the supports are provided with curved guiding-surfaces L, L<1>. The system is adjustable by making the supports G in two parts G, S with interposed wedges I; or the members C may be in two adjustable parts.

Title: Improvements relating to Automatic Playing Mechanism for Musical Instruments Designed to Render a Plurality of Records Simultaneously.
Filed: 1913-01-13
Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 949. Frankfurter Musikwerke Fabrik J. D. Philipps & S÷hne Akt.-Ges. Jan. 9, 1912, [Convention date]. Winding-mechanism.-The two tune-sheets of an automatic musical instrument are driven by separate motors, and are caused to play in unison by a device which controls the speed of one motor or the other according as one or the other tune-sheet tends to move in advance. The synchronizing-device comprises a pair of coupled bellows, acting in opposition and controlled respectively by special apertures in the two tune-sheets. The bellows operate a valve for controlling the supply of working fluid to the motors driving the tune-sheets. Alternatively, the bellows control a rheostat for cutting resistance out of the circuit of the lagging motor, or inserting resistance in the circuit of the leading motor. The tune-sheets I. II are driven by motors k, k<1> and are provided with special apertures a, a<1> co-operating with tracker-ducts controlling the valves d, d<1>. If the tune-sheets run in synchronism, the valves d, d<1> are operated simultaneously and the coupled bellows i, i<1> are simultaneously connected to the windchest e. Should one of the tune-sheets lag behind the other, the bellows i, i<1> are not inflated or extended simultaneously, so that the slide-valve m moves and connects the corresponding motor to an additional pressure or suction supply-pipe n. The tune-sheets may be driven by hydraulic motors. The Specification as open to inspection under Section .91 (3) (a) states also that the slide m may be replaced by a device, which brakes one of the motors when the bellows i, i<1> are not actuated simultaneously; and also that gas motors may be employed for driving the tunesheets. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Mechanical Lubricators.
Inventor: HINE CHARLES WILLIAM CRESSWELL
IPC: F16N13/10

Granted: 1914-02-03
Abstract: 2792. Hine, C. W. C. Feb. 3. Multiple-delivery piston pumps; regulating delivery; valves, arrangement of; indicators.-The plunger of a force-feed lubricating-pump controls both suction and delivery ports in the pump barrel in such a manner that the delivery port is kept closed until the plunger has closed and passed well beyond the suction port, means being provided for relieving the excessive pressure that would otherwise be set up during the period when both suction and delivery ports are closed. Fig. 1 shows one pumping unit of a multipledelivery lubricator. In each plunger 22 is cut a delivery passage 37, 38. During the downstroke, the suction port 9 is closed before the delivery passage 38 has come opposite the delivery port 10, a spring-controlled piston 29 permittiug the downward movement while both ports are closed. The piston 29 may continue to move downwards, after the delivery passage is open, until it comes into contact with an adjustable stop 35, whereupon the further downward movement of the plunger 22 causes a delivery of oil through the delivery valve 11. A by-pass 21, controlled by a plug valve 19, is fitted on the delivery pipe to enable the action of the pump to be observed. Figs. 5 and 7 show an alternative construction in which the plungers are mounted in pairs and operated by cranks spaced at 180 degrees apart, a single relief and regulating piston 42 being provided for each pair of plungers. When the plunger in the barrel 7, Fig. 7, is descending, that in the barrel 7<a> is rising, and the piston 42 moves to the left so as to relieve pressure in the barrel 7 until brought to rest by the adjustable stop 53. A similar stop 52 is used for adjusting the delivery from the barrel 7<a>. In a further modification, the plungers are arranged in groups of four, the delivery pipes being arranged in pairs on opposite sides of the oil container. The cross-heads 23, in which the crank-pins 25 work, are guided by means of projections 24 from the sides of the oil container, and separate bearing-blocks for the shaft 26 may be fitted intermediate to each crankpin. The bottom 6 of the container is arranged on a slope, and a cleaning-plug 54 is fitted at the lowest point. A strainer 3 is provided at the top, and a steam pipe 76 is fitted for heating the oil when necessary.
