Abstract: 14,512. Barbey, C. Aug. 31, 1910, [Convention date]. Revolving-cylinder pumps; multiple-acting piston pumps; stroke, varying. - Relates to radial-cylinder pumps &c. with rotary or fixed cylinders, in which the piston stroke is varied by adjustment of an eccentric ring, or equivalent means, to which the piston - rods are connected, such adjustment being effected by liquid-actuated regulating-pistons. Referring to Figs. 1 and 2, three single-acting radial cylinders 1 on a rotary boss 2 are fitted with pistons 6 jointed to an eccentric ring 7. The eccentric collar 8 carries regulating-pistons 10, which are adjusted in cylinders 11 in the framing 3 by pressure fluid admitted at 12. The boss 2 has three ports 21, which register successively with admission and exhaust ports in a flat disk valve which is spring-pressed on the end 20 of the boss 2. This arrangement may work as a compressor, a pump, or as an engine which may be mounted directly on a vehicle wheel. Fig. 8 shows a modification, the piston-rods 5 being jointed to a collar 7 on a fixed axle 8, which is adjusted by the pistons 10. This combination may be used as a group comprising a primary pump and a secondary motor in the transmission of power by means of an incompressible fluid. Fig. 10 shows an internalcombustion engine coupled to a pump for power transmission. A represents the engine cylinders, B the air-compressing cylinders and C the fuel feed-pump cylinders, D the lubricating- pumps, and E the pump cylinders for the power transmission. The groups B, C, D, E are fitted with piston-stroke adjusting-devices of the kind described above with reference to Figs. 1 and 2. The fuel is fed by gravity to the pipe 34, then by centrifugal force along passages 33, 32 to the pump cylinder C, from which it is forced through ports 31 leading to a fixed annular passage 30 opening to the admission port 27 of the cylinder A. The suction to the cylinder B takes place through ports 35, the compressed air being delivered to the driving-cylinders through valved ports 26. The flat valve described with reference to Figs. 1 and 2 may replace the arrangement of ports 26, 35. The mixture is ignited by the heat of compression, the spent gases being swept out at 37. The eccentric collars 8 may be separate, or connected in sets. The cylinders are formed with water-jackets 39 as shown. Fig. 14 shows an adjustable-throw crank adapted to replace the eccentric strokeadjusting devices. The crank 49 is formed with pistons 50, which are adjusted with respect to the shaft 48 by pressure fluid admitted at 51. This device is applicable to engines with fixed or rotary cylinders.

Bending &c.-A machine for forming flanges on boot uppers and other articles of leather or like material, comprises a male mould 4 and a female mould 2 and is provided with a device for pressing outwards the lower edge of the leather, thus forming the flange for the purpose of stitching down the upper. The male mould 4, which projects beyond the female mould a distance approximately equal to the thickness of the material operated upon, is connected to a plate 10 by screws threaded into the mould and having heads 14 resting in countersunk sockets 16 in the plate. The plate is provided with a shank held by a screw 20 in a slide 22, which is moved vertically by a treadle. The flange former, comprising plates 36, 38, is mounted to slide on the mould 4 by screws 40, 42 passing through inclined guiding-slots 44, 46. The plates are normaliy held together by springs 48, 50. Auxiliary slots 52, 54 and pins 56, 58 assist in guiding the plates. When in the closed position, the upper ends of the plates project above the top of the mould 4 and bear against the plate 10, while their outer edges are substantially flush with the edges of the mould. In operating the machine, a shoe upper is placed in the mould 2 with its edge projecting a distance equal to the desired width of the flange to be formed. The slide 22 is then depressed to bring the mould 4 in contact with the upper. When the movement of the male mould is stopped, the continued depression of the slide 22 causes the plate 10 to compress springs 60 round screws and to move the plate 36, 38 downwards. The inclination of the slots causes an outward movement of the plates to take place simultaneously with the downward movement.

Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 18,908. Angold, H. E. Aug. 19. Ratchet gearing.-In a magazine flame-arc lamp, energy is stored by a weight or spring during the feeding of a pair of electrodes and is employed in raising the feeding-means into position for engaging the next pair of electrodes. The electrodes may be fed by catches 10, Fig. 3, which are deflected and slide over the electrodes when moving upwards. Weighted levers 12 at the lower ends of the magazines retain the burning electrodes. The catches 10 are mounted on frames 9, which slide on bars 8 attached to the magazines and embrace a cross-bar 14, Figs. 1 and 3, guided by a vertical frame bar. Two ratchet bars 15, drawn against the cross-bars by springs 19, are hung side by side from pivots, one of which is stationary while the other can be reciprocated vertically by one or more shunt coils 16 provided with a make-and-break switch. A weight 22, heavier than the cross-bar and parts carried thereby, is connected to the cross-bar by a cord passing over a pulley. The weight 22, or a plate attached to it, moves between stops on a rod 26 hung from an arm 24. A long spring 29 connects the arm 24 to a lever 23 extending oppositely from the same pivot. When the cross-bar reaches its lowest position, the weight raises the rod and arm so far that the long spring 29 suddenly pulls up the lever 23, which forces the ratchet bars 15 away from the cross-bar. At the lower limit of its resulting travel, the weight restores the disengaging- mechanism to the original position.
