Title: Improvements in Leather Splitting Machines.
Inventor: QUIGLEY WILLIAM DAVID
IPC: C14B1/14
Filed: 1912-10-29
Granted: 1913-12-01
Abstract: 24,794. Quigley, W. D. Oct. 29. Splitting. - In leather - splitting machines having feed-rolls and a splitting-blade with its edge between these rolls, the axes of the feeding- rolls are movable by a single adjustment in guideways arranged in converging inclined planes on the feed side of the rolls. The frame 3 carrying the upper roll B, Fig. 3, is provided with ribs which enter guideways 5 on the standards 2, and its ends are supported on rubber springs 6, Fig. 4. Adjustment of the frame in its guideways, which are perpendicular to the plane of the upper bevelled surface of the knife A, is made by operating screws provided with hand-wheels 8 and bearing on the upper edge of the standards 2. The upper side of the roller B bears against rollers carried by adjusting- screws 10. In order that the axis of the lower roller C may move in a plane perpendicular to the plane of the lower bevelled surface of the knife A, the roller is journaled in boxes mounted in inclined slots 11, Fig. 3, and the boxes are supported by levers 12 eccentrically pivoted in the standards. The roller C is provided with a covering 25 of rubber or other resilient material in order that hides of less than a specified thickness may pass without causing displacement of the roller, this thickness being determined by the resiliency of a rubber spring 20, Fig. 5, which controls the movement of the lever 12. The spring 20 is loosely mounted on a threaded rod 13, which carries an adjusting- nut 18 and passes loosely through the end of the lever 12 and through bars 14 connected by bolts 15, 16. The lower end of the rod 13 carries a strap which surrounds a cam 22 on a rock-shaft 23 which is operated by a handle 24 when it is desired to lower the roller for repairs. The initial setting of the roller C is effected by rotating the nut 18, and the resiliency of the spring 20 is varied by adjusting the nuts 17.

Abstract: 2930. Grissinger, E. March 27, 1912. Telephonic repeaters; exchange systems.-In a telephone repeating system, each line is connected to a pair of primary windings of a transformer, the secondary winding of which transfers the impulses to the relay that sends on the impulses to the second line. The line from the subscriber 1<z> is connected through the windings b, c of the transformer, while the winding a is in series with the energizing- windings H, A' of a relay of the kind described in Specification 7482/12. The relayed currents are impressed on the line of the subscriber 2<z> through the transformer D<1>. The inductance 9<z> and condenser 8<z> are bridged across the line and adjusted so that the relayed impulses in the windings D' divide equally between the windings b, c, thus ensuring that these impulses do not pass back through the winding a to affect the first line again. In modified forms. the condenser 8<z> and inductance 9<z> are replaced by a line similar to the subscriber's line, and each line is provided with a winding on the transformer that supplies it with the relayed currents. Inductances G<1> and leakage resistances may be placed in the line. Specification 2929/13 is referred to.

Abstract: 18,601. Spõngler, L. Oct. 18 1912, [Convention date]. [Addition to 14,020/13.] Tramcars; ingress and egress of passengers, controlling; sides, floors, and roofs; steps.-The car is provided with a depressed central floor portion 8-8 and a doorway 2 on the lower deck, Fig. 2, giving access at this part as in the parent Specification. The seating arrangements on the top deck, Fig. 3, comprise at the ends back-to-back benches 6 providing side passageways 7 leading from the stairs 1. Adequate width is given to these passageways by widening the deck, and preferably also by laterally offsetting the benches 6 with respect to the centre line of the'deck. The width at the central part of the top deck is kept equal to that of the lower de. k so that oppositely travelling cars may pass each other at curves on closely arranged pairs of rails. When stairs having two flights 1<1>, 1 are provided, it is necessary to cut away the floor of the upper deck as shown and to shorten one half of each bench 6 or provide it with a transverse part 6<1>. The seating at the central part of the top deck may comprise side benches 4, or transverse benches, or a longitudinal bench as at the end parts. The floor of the top deck beneath the longitudinal benches is cut away so as to give adequate headroom to the gangway of the lower saloon, particularly above the high-level floor parts of the latter. End doors 10, 11 may be added to serve as extra entrances or exits. The doors 10 divide the landing 9 from the motorman's compartment, or the doors 10, 11 may be used exclusively by top deck passengers, and the doors 2 by lower saloon passengers only. In this case, the stairs 1<1> are dispensed with and the landings 9 reduced, thus increasing the seating 3 in the lower deck. The diminished cutting-away of the top deck with this arrangement also provides increased seating space at this part of the car.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Petrol Meters.
Inventor: VEYAN EMMAEL
IPC: G01F3/38
Filed: 1913-10-13
Granted: 1914-07-16
Abstract: 23,048. Veyan, E. Oct. 13. Liquid-meters. - Comprises improvements in meters of the float and measuring chamber type, and is adapted to measure petrol. The float B in the float chamber A', Figs. 1 and 2, carries three rods D, D<1>, D<2>, which are connected by loops D<3> of flexible material passing over a hook E' on the end of the lever E. This lever is pivoted at E<2>, and its arm E<4> enters an opening P' in the cover-plate P. The arm E<4> engages with the arm F<2> of the lever F, against the action of the spring F<1>, so that the inward movement of the arm F<2> takes place only when the float rises. A pawl F<4> attached to the lever F moves the ratchet-wheel F<5> by one tooth each time the float rises, i.e. each time the measuring-chamber is filled, the ratchet-wheel being connected with a totalizer and indicator. A rod C, attached to the float, and having its upper end bevelled off, engages with the arm I<1>, which transmits the movement by the arms I<3>, J<2> to the spring-controlled arm J<4>, so that when the float is in its lowest position, the arm J<4> is drawn towards the centre of the cover-plate, thus acting on the chamfered end K<2> of the lever K, to the other end of which is attached the valve M. The lever 0, pivoted at O<1>, rests on the lever K and is adapted to be raised and suddenly released by a lever N, the end N<2> of which is V-shaped so as to engage with the lever E. The lever N is pivoted so as to be capable of movement along and around its pivot, so that when the float B and lever E descend, the arm N<3> lifts the lever 0, and finally allows it to fall and strike the lever K, thus opening the valve M. At the same time, the arm J<4> is pulled over by the spring J', and holds the lever K in position while the chamber fills, releasing it when the rod C acts on the levers I, J. As the float falls, the arm J<4> is prevented from moving back by the end of lever K, until the lever 0 moves it out of position as above described.
