Granted: 1913-01-23
Abstract: 25,946. Varley, T. Nov. 12. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Wood fuel. - Firelighters composed usually of four parallel sticks with shavings or sawdust between them at the ends are made in a machine shown in one form, partly in section, in Fig. 1. A table a revolving continuously carries eight press-boxes d, as shown, having movable bottoms raised by a cam-track y to compress the lighters against swinging covers p, and partition-bars z for keeping the shavings to the ends, the covers and partition-bars being advanced by weights or springs which yield to obstructions such as the operator's fingers, and being retracted by cam action; or the covers may be retracted by yielding means. In the form shown, the covers p for the separate halves of each box d are pivoted on cross-bolts above the table a and have each an extension projecting downwards, with a pin entering a slot in a rocking disk q, by the movement of which the boxes are opened and closed. Each disk q is rocked one way by a pin engaging the free arm of a weighted bell-crank lever u, and the other way similarly by a second weighted lever w. Springs may replace weights, and instead of using rocking disks, the covers may be operated similarly to the partition-bars z. These latter are shown linked to cranked levers 2, by which they are advanced by weights 5 or springs and retracted by a stationary circular cam 4. The revolving table a is mounted on a hollow pedestal c, through which passes a shaft h connecting a driving-shaft in an upper bracket with a train of gears l on a bed-plate 1, cast with or attached to the pedestal. In operation, sticks are placed across binding-wire in each press-box d, on either side of conical studs 9 on the bottom, and as the table revolves, the partition-bar z is advanced, shavings and more sticks are added, the covers p swung over, and the lighter pressed slightly; the cam track y is shaped so that the pressure is then at first diminished to allow the partition-bar to be withdrawn, and afterwards increased greatly, the covers then being removed and the lighter ejected, preferably on to a conveyer. This cycle takes place twice in each revolution of the machine shown; with more moulds it may take place three times.

Inventor: LOBNITZ FRED
IPC: E02F3/92
Filed: 1912-11-15
Granted: 1913-07-10
Abstract: 26,240. Lobnitz, F. Nov. 15. Force-feed lubricators.-Lubricant is supplied to bearings of dredgers working under water, such as the bottom tumbler of a bucket dredger, or the rotating cutter of a suction dredger, by fluid pressure, preferably compressed air, and the pressure is regulated automatically or by hand, to vary with the pressure of the water around the bearing. By this means the entrance of sand &c. into the bearings is checked. The ladder carrying the rotating parts is connected at a point near its trunnion by links m, m<1>, l with a cock l', regulating the supply of compressed air from a reservoir j to a vessel J, from which lubricant is forced by a loose piston h through a pipe f to the bearings below the water. The pressure of the air acting on the piston h varies with the depth of the ladder in the water. The vessel g is charged with lubricant by a hand-pump o. In the case of a bucket dredger, the lubricant is supplied through a bore in the lower tumbler shaft. The links m, m<1>,may be omitted, the cock l<1> being moved by hand.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Vacuum Cleaning Systems.
IPC: A47L5/18
Filed: 1912-11-20
Granted: 1913-08-28
Abstract: 26,660. Carey, R. F., and Waygood & Co., R. Nov. 20. Aspirating - apparatus, ejector; regulating.- An ejector used in a vacuum cleaning-installation can be started, regulated, or stopped by increasing or decreasing the pressure in an auxiliary pipe system by means of devices upon each tool. The actuating fluid passes from a pipe 19 through a piston valve 20 and pipe 21 to the ejector. A weighted lever 25 tends to hold the valve open, and the pressure on the underside of the diaphragm tends to close it. Pressure is supplied to the diaphragm by a pipe 23 in connexion with the pipe 19' and also by a bend 14 with the auxiliary pipe 10. A choking- valve 24 in the pipe 23 is set to allow of the passage of less fluid than can pass when all the starting-cocks on the pipe 10 are open. If one cock is opened, the pressure under the diaphragm is relieved, and the lever 25 forces the valve 20 down and allows the ejector to start. The discharge from the ejector may actuate a water-wheel driving a diaphragm pump to-compress air for the auxiliary pipe system; or, a portion of the discharge may be passed into a floating bell which may operate the piston valve either directly or by a diaphragm pump or bellows operated by the bell.

Filed: 1913-05-21
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 11,850. Despessailles, R. March 31, [Convention date]. Fusible cut-outs.-Fuses of the automatic replacement type are constructed with a series of levers, each acted on by a spring and released by the blowing of a fuse so that each lever in turn makes a contact which puts the next fuse into use. In the modification, shown in Fig. 1, current enters at a terminal D' and flows through the first of the fuses d to the outgoing terminal D<2>. When the first fuse breaks, a lever b is forced by a spring f into a mercury cup c electrically connected to the second fuse, to which the current is led through the spring f attached at an intermediate point of the lever b. When the second fuse blows, the second lever b is released and the current is led in like manner to the last fuse d<0>. Metallic brushes may be substituted for the mercury-cup contacts. In a modification, the last fuse is joined up to a separate outgoing terminal leading to an auxiliary line. In a further modification, the board on which the fuses are mounted is fitted with a change-over switch for short-circuiting the displaced levers in order to allow new fuses to be put in. The apparatus may be used in kinematograph installations.

Granted: 1914-07-16
Abstract: 16,745. Stokes, F. W. S. July 21. Check or non-return valves; actuating.-In apparatus for compressing air or other gas in which gas at two different pressures enters the cylinder before the compression stroke, the non- return suction valve for controlling the inlet of high-pressure gas is kept closed during the required period by an electro-magnet or solenoid. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the low-pressure suction valve C and the high-pressure suction valve J<1> are located in a single plug or casing F and communicate with the cylinder by way of a common inlet port. The valve J<1>, which closes the passage K, is provided with a flanged upper portion J<2> serving as an armature or keeper for an annular electro-magnet formed by portions of the casing F and excited by a winding M located in a recess closed by non- magnetic material M<1>. The valve is provided with a non-magnetic bushing M<2> to prevent sticking through residual magnetism. When the electro-magnet is de-energized, the gas pressure depresses the valve against the action of a retracting-spring L, and the gas flows through ports J<3> in the valve in a manner which keeps the valve face free from dirt. The valve stem is arranged to act as the piston of a dash-pot for cushioning purposes, the piston having a passage J<5> therein and working in a chamber H<1> communicating with the compressor cylinder by way of a non-return valve N. In one modification, the valve J<1> is of a simpler construction and the non-return valve N is dispensed with. Fig. 3 illustrates the application of the invention to compressors in which the ordinary suction valve 0 opens directly into the compressing cylinder. An additional suction valve P for low-pressure gas is provided, and the springs O<2>, O<3> of the valves P, J<1> act in opposition upon a disk O<1> secured to the stem of the valve O. In a modification of the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, instead of employing separate valves P, J<1>, the valve J<1> is formed with a cylindrical extension acting as a piston valve controlling the low-pressure inlet ports. In a further modification of such arrangement in which there is no suction valve O, the arrangement of the valves P. J<1> is practically the same as an inverted arrangement of the valves C, J' in Fig. 1.
