Title: Mechanism for Controlling Valves Regulating the Supply of Fluids used in conjunction with Various Processes in Printing Textile and other Fabrics, Materials and Substances.
Filed: 1912-08-08
Granted: 1913-08-08
Abstract: 18,225. Calico Printers' Association, and Roberts, C. Aug. 8. Stopping, starting, tripping, and like arrangements.-In machines for printing fabrics, the valves for the supply of fluids for cleaning the proof-covered bowls, fabrics, &c. are operated from the starting-apparatus, preferably by a sliding bar h operated by the locking catch m of the starting-handle k, so that the valves are opened just before the machine is started, and closed just after it is stopped. The connection between the valves and the sliding bar may be mechanical or electrical. In the example described, the bar h operates the valves e, f, for the supply of humid air, and of dry air, or for exhausting air from impression-cylinder cleaning-apparatus, as described in Specification 18,224/12. The valves e, f are preferably threeway valves, and a spring i tends to operate the bar h to open the valves to supply fluid to the apparatus. While the machine is stopped, a stronger spring n on the catch m keeps the bar h down and the valves c, f are open to the atmosphere. On lifting the catch m to move the starting handle k, the bar h is released.

Title: Improvements relating to the Mechanism Controlling the Rotatory Action of the Drum or Winding Spool of a Fishing Reel.
Inventor: SHAW FREDERICK GEORGE
IPC: E01C13/04
Filed: 1913-01-30
Granted: 1914-01-29
Abstract: 2460. Shaw, F. G. Jan. 30. [Cognate Application, 4014/13.] Reels, rod. - A reel, which is arranged so as normally to give a slight check, then to run free, and then to give an increased check, has the operating lever or levers pointing up and down the rod, so that the reel may be easily operated whether mounted in a right or left handed manner. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a toothed wheel 1 is mounted on the winch drum and normally engaged by a pawl 2 pivoted on a frame 4, which is arranged to slide up and down, guided by slots 9 and pins 8. On the opposite side of the frame 4 is a similar pawl 3. Both pawls are acted on by leaf springs 5, 6. The pawl 2 is normally held in engagement with the toothed wheel by a spring 14. Pivoted to the back plate are levers 10, which, when either one or the other is depressed, slide the frame 4 upwards, first disengaging the pawl 2, thus allowing the winch to run free and then, as the movement continues, bringing the pawl 3 into engagement with the wheel 1, the successive movement being felt by the increased pressure of the spring 15 and also being indicated by the difference in sound given out by the two pawls. The tension of the spring 5 may be regulated by means of a screw 17, which slides the block 19 against it. The handles 13 of the levers 10 are made detachable so that the one not required may be removed. In the form shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the normal check is given by a pawl 23, pivoted to the lever 25, which is held against the toothed wheel 32 by means of a spring 31 attached to a lever 26. The action of the pawl is regulable, and preferably of different strengths according to the direction of rotation of the winch. For this purpose, two concentric springs 42, 43 of different strengths are mounted on the spindle 24, and engage on either side of the projection 23<1> of the pawl. On pressing either lever 25, 26, the pawl is raised and the winch is freed; on further pressure being given, the lever 37 is rocked, thus allowing the spring-actuated brake 34 to engage with a brake disk 33 mounted on the winch.

Abstract: 3274. Harrison, W., Renold, C. G., and Renold, Ltd., H. Feb. 8. Annealing; hardening.-The links of driving- chains of the silent type are first hardened or case-hardened all over, then heated locally by a narrow flame directed against the centre of the flat side faces of the links while keeping cool those parts of the links which are to remain hard, and finally allowed to cool slowly, or quenched in water or oil. The hardened links are piled in a single column in a magazine 1 with their side faces horizontal, and are fed singly by the reciprocating shoe 3 to watercooled metal slides 2, Fig. 4, in which they are heated by a fan-shaped Bunsen burner 17. The links then pass into the receptacle 21 which may contain oil or water. The shoe 3 is moved in one direction by the cam 6 and levers 4, 5, and in the other direction by the spring 16. A stop 29 limits the movement of the shoe. The cooling water is circulated by a pump 13 through the tank 15, pipes 11, slides 2, and pipes 12. The burner 17 is attached to the framework by a bracket 18, and is adjustable by the nuts 19 and screwed stem 20.

Abstract: 5082. Marks, E. C. R., [Submarine Wireless Co.]. Feb. 28. Subaqueous sound signals. - For producing subaqueous acoustic signals, a stretched strip is arranged to be set in vibration by an exciting device which can be started and stopped at will. A longitudinally vibrating strip 14 is stretched between plates in the walls of a vessel, rods 16, 17 serving to brace the plates against independent vibrations. A wheel 18 is kept constantly pressed against the strip, and when desired is set in motion by clutching the shaft 35 which drives it through a worm and wheel gearing 36, 37 on to the shaft of a constantlyrunning motor. The wheel 18 consists of two plates 22, 24, the lower one having an annular flange 23, held together by screws and holding between them an annulus of felt 21 which, when moving, rubs the strip 14 and when stopped damps its vibrations, and which is kept moist by alcohol contained in the chamber between the plates and percolating through apertures 23<a> in the flange 23. The pressure of the wheel on the strip can be adjusted by a screw 31. For starting and stopping the wheel, the clutch shown in Fig. 5 is used. It comprises rotary and stationary clutch-members 42, 43 which can be magnetized by coils 47, 50, the soft-iron disk 41 feathered to the shaft 35 being attracted to and gripping whichever clutch-member is magnetized. A tapping-key is arranged to close the circuit of the coil 47 when depressed, and of the coil 50 in its normal position.

Granted: 1915-05-13
Abstract: 14,598. Belliss &. Morcom, and Morcom, R. K. June 17. Drawings to Specification. Blades in steam turbines, fans, &c. are secured by assembling the steel blades and distance-pieces &c. in groups in suitable carriers, providing copper or copper alloy in contact or proximity with the surfaces to be united, and heating to the melting-point of the copper or copper alloy in an atmosphere of hydrogen, as described in Specification 5232/10, [Class 83 (iv), Metals, Working]. The carrier and blade components, which may include shrouding for the tips, are thereby united to form an integral group adapted to be secured to the rotor or stator in any of the usual ways. The presence of rust or scale on the parts to be united makes the welding more efficient. The copper or copper alloy may be applied in a more or less finely-divided condition, it being dusted on the surfaces or sprayed or painted on or supplied in the form of wire. A preliminary coating of limewash facilitates the even distribution of the copper &c. over the surfaces not required to be welded; surfaces not required to be coated with copper may be protected by a thicker coating of claywash or ganister. The process is illustrated in the Specification by several examples of bladefixing, and Specifications 20,394/05, 23,400/05, and 21,214/13 are referred to in this connexion.
