Abstract: 10,846. Boult, A. J., [Mills, H. S.]. May 7. Centrifugal governors. -- In an automatic violin, the speed of the electro-motor driving the bows is controlled by a centrifugal device comprising curved resilient members 47, which are weighted at their ends and connected by links 48 to the segments of a split drum. The movements of the segments are constrained by pins 48<1> carried by a loose ring. A springy brush, the pressure of which on the drum varies with the speed to vary the electric resistance of the brush, is carried by an arm on the shaft 51, which is connected by an arm 53 to a bar 54 adapted to be moved longitudinally by the energization of solenoids to rotate the shaft 51. Rotation of the shaft 51 varies the area of contact between the brush and the drumsegments and therefore varies the speed of the motor.

Abstract: 11,442. Brehier, G. L. May 16. Rolling annular bodies.-In an apparatus for rolling a metal hoop or ring by stretching between two wheels, one of which is driven and the other freely mounted, so as to pull the hoop through a train of idle rolls, as described in Specification 22,329/10, the pull on the freelymounted wheel is effected through a spring, and the wheel is automatically disconnected from the tensioning-device so as to stop the rolling operation at a position corresponding to a given tension so as to obtain hoops of uniform length. The freely - mounted wheel c is mounted on a carriage c<3> provided with an extension c<5> having a sharp-edged steel blade c<6> engaging a similar blade e<1> on a lever e, which is pivoted in a slide d and is normally held in the engaged position by a spring f.

Granted: 1914-09-04
Abstract: 19,991. Blondelet, M. Sept. 4. Life-saving chambers and the like. - Lifesaving chambers for submarine v e s s e l s are located in trunk-ways in the bulkheads of the vessels, and consist of three - part telescopic members capable of being extended by hydraulic means within the chamber or by compressed air when available, and capable of being locked in the extended position. Means are also provided for forcing the chamber from its seating. Fig. 9 is a section of the apparatus collapsed in its trunk-way, and Figs. 1 and 2 show the apparatus extended. The apparatus rests on a beam a c r o s s a cylindrical hatchway, the lower part w of which can be entered by means of man-holes a, a<1>, whence access to the apparatus can be had through a man-hole k. Friction-wheels m assist the apparatus in leaving the hatch-way. The apparatus is extended by means of a cylinder with a hollow piston b which serves as the cylinder for a smaller piston b<1>. The pistons are forced out by pumps p<1>, Fig. 2, which draw water through a supply pipe j past a cock t. A pipe f with cock g connects the cylinders with the compressed-air supply, should it be available. In operation, bolts b<3>, Fig. 11, are first unscrewed, releasing the cover o; this also allows water to enter the space between the apparatus and the hatchway, through the orifice d. The pump p' is then worked to extend the apparatus, or the compressed-air cock g is turned on. When fully extended, a pin i, Fig. 1, is placed in a slot in the central piston b<1> to prevent collapse, and pressure fluid is admitted to the back of differential pistons in small cylinders l, Fig. 2, thereby locking the piston b. The lower compartment w is then filled with water by opening a cock in the water-inlet pipe j, and cramps e, Fig. 11, are turned, releasing the apparatus from the bed. Pressure fluid is then admitted to auxiliary cylinders b<2> through valves h to force the apparatus from its bed. The apparatus also contains pressure gauges n, n<1>, and air-circulating pumps v.

Granted: 1915-01-28
Abstract: 2305. Thornton A. A., [Cleveland Rock Drill Co.]. Jan. 28. Percussive drills; percussive hand tools.-In a rock-drill, the throttle valve may be adjusted so as to cause the stoppage of the distributing- valve in one extreme position while pressure fluid is admitted to one side of the hammer piston. In this position, movement of the hammer piston is stopped, the drill-rotating mechanism continues to operate, the exhaust is closed, and all the fluid supplied to the cylinder passes through the drill steel to clean the borehole. A piston 9, controlled by a valve 10, causes intermittent rotation of the tool 7. The throttle valve 6, shown diagrammatically in Fig. 4, comprises a tapered plug held to its seat by pressure fluid and locked by a spring- pressed ball engaging recesses. On starting the drill, the valve is first moyed to the position shown in Fig. 4, whereupon fluid passes through ports 33, 30 to operate the drill-rotating mechanism, and through the port 12 to operate the hammer mechanism lightly, the exhaust port 26 leading from the front end of the cylinder 1 being open through passages 35, 36. On a further movement of the throttle valve, the exhaust port 26 is closed and ports 30, 12 are fully opened, but as fluid passes through ports 37. 31 to the rear end of the valve chamber to hold the valve 5, Fig. 1, forward, the hammer piston 2 is held in its rear position while the drill-rotating mechanism still operates, and the fluid passes from the front end of the cylinder through the hollow drill 7 to clean the bore-hole. On a further movement of the throttle valve, the port 31 is closed, ports 12, 30 remain fully opened, and the exhaust port 26 is opened through passages 40, 36 so that the drill works at full speed. A handle for the tool is shown.
