Granted: 1910-12-08
Abstract: 26,615. James, R. W., [Compagnie GÚnÚrale de Phonographes, Cinematographes, et Appareils de PrÞcision]. Aug. 12, 1910. Records.-Relates to a machine for transcribing a phonograph disk or cylinder record on to a cylinder or disk, and to means for amplifying the sound impressions. The variations in the secondary record may be either proportional to each other, or may vary with respect to each other so as to give, when reproduced, either a proportional clearness and intensity or a clearness or an intensity variable with respect to each other. The primary record 1 is mounted on a mandrel 2 which is rotated by a pulley 3 and belt 22 from a main shaft 20 and traversed on a feed-screw 13. A carriage e supporting the styli 14, 15 is traversed along two feed-screws e, d, which receive rotation from the main shaft 20 by belts 18, 17, respectively, by the engagement of two feed-nuts 19. The disk 4, upon which the secondary record is to be transferred, is rotated by bevel gear 6, 7 from the main shaft 20. The carriage e carries underneath, on a pivoted rod, a frame 23, which has four rollers 24 adapted to rest upon the disk 4 and the cylinder 1. On the frame 23 is a balance beam 10 pivoted unequally and carrying the reproducing-stylus 14 and the recording-stylus 15. The feed-screw 13 traverses the cylinder record 1 faster than the feed-screws c, d traverse the carriage e. To vary the length of the secondary waves, the relative speeds of rotation of the disk 4 and the cylinder 1 are altered by providing other pulleys 21 or 3. To vary the depth of the secondary waves, a new balance beam 10 with a differently-placed pivot is substituted, or a weight on the balance may be moved to vary the pressure.

Abstract: 25,893. Alltree, A. Nov. 8. Variable speed epicyclic gearing. - Threespeed hub gears for motor cycles of the two train type described in Specifications 11,315/07, 14,106/07, 1988/08, and 21,050/08, are modified so as to give a solid drive on the highest speed by making the annulus the driving-member of each train; and a disconnectible clutch is arranged between the gearing and the hub of the engine-driven belt pulley or sprocket-wheel. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the hub M of the belt pulley is connected by a multiple-disk clutch to the driving- annulus G. The planet-pinions E of the first train are carried by a frame C forming the driving annulus J of the second train, the planet pinions of which are carried by the wheel hub. In the position shown with the sunpinions K, L in engagement with teeth h, i on the hub, the drive is solid, and a greater or less reduction of speed is obtained by moving one or other of the pinions K, L into gear with a stationary clutch member B. The clutch plates are held against rotation in their respective boxes by bolts M<2>, N<3> which secure the end plates. The pulley hub M is carried between ball bearings V, and the movable clutch box N is slidably mounted in slots O<1> in a ring O adjustably secured to the member H, and is controlled by a spring P and lever T. In a modified construction shown in Fig. 2, a cone clutch is employed, and the broad teeth of the driving-annulus G formed on the driving- member H gear with the pinions D, E, which are mounted on the common planet carrier I secured to the wheel hub. The solid drive is obtained by clutching the sun pinions to each other, the smaller sun-pinion L engaging internal teeth on an overhung portion of the larger pinion K. Either gearing-down train is brought into action by moving one of the sunpinions into engagement with stationary clutch members W, X. The sliding clutch cone N is mounted in slots O<1> extending through the ring O and into the driving-member H, and is thrust into engagement with the outer clutch cone by a series of springs P<1>.

Granted: 1912-01-18
Abstract: 14,746. Thornton, A. A., [Feeney, J. E.]. June 21. Force-feed lubricators. - A device for lubricating the flanges of railway and like vehicles when rounding curves is operated by the relative movement between the wheel and the vehicle frame which is caused by the curve. A lever 57, Fig. 1, pivoted at 55 to a fixed bracket 56, carries a roller 58, which is normally free of the wheel 2, but when, owing to a curve, the wheel approaches the frame 59 of the vehicle, the lever is moved and actuates a piston 50 connected to a valve 52, Fig. 3, which admits compressed air to the lubricator. The compressed air, which may be derived from the air-brake system, moves a pair of lubricating-rollers 11, 12 up to the wheel flange, and also ejects a quantity of oil upon the rollers. When the curve is passed, the piston 50 is retracted by a spring, and the whole device becomes inoperative. To provide a yielding contact between the rollers 11, 12 and the wheel, the lubricator has a boss 4 pivoted on a fixed block 5, and a lug 6 on the boss 4 engages between two spring - pressed rods 8, Fig. 1, one or both of which are adjustable, so that the rollers 11, 12 may bear evenly on the two sides of the wheel flange; a cylinder 36 carrying the rollers yields against a spring 39, its motion being limited by a pin 37 engaging a slot 38. Oil from a reservoir flows by gravity past a check valve 45 and through passages 47, 48 to a central chamber 17, the outlet of which is closed by a spring-pressed valve 21 engaging a seating 20 in the cylinder 36. The compressed air, when admitted by the valve 52, passes through a passage 63 to a chamber 64, and forces a piston 30 to the left against a spring 34. The cylinder 36 is carried by the piston and also moves to the left, and the rollers 11, 12 are thus brought into contact with the wheel flange. The movement of the cylinder 36 opens the valve 21, and the compressed air enters the chamber 17 by means of a groove 65 in the valve stem 25; the check valve 45 then closes and the oil is forced on to the rollers 11, 12 through openings 23, regulated by needle valves 24. The rollers are mounted in housings 13 packed with absorbent material 68, as shown in Fig. 5. By means of a pipe coupling 67, two similar lubricators may be operated simultaneously by air admitted by the valve 52. The roller 58, Fig. 1, is lubricated by means of an oil - cup fixed to the lever 57.

Granted: 1912-01-11
Abstract: 17,600. Koechlin, A. G. Aug. 2. Weft, cutting.-In automatic weft-replenishing looms, the weft thread from the spent bobbin is cut before the bobbin is ejected, and the weft from the fresh bobbin is afterwards also cut by means of movable shears 8, 9 carried by a slide 7, which is normally maintained in the position shown by the engagement of an arm 5 on the lever 5, 3 with a notch on the slide 7, the shears being held closed by the engagement of a lateral pin 12 on the upper pivoted blade 8 of the shears with a fixed guide 13. When the usual shaft 1 is rotated on the occurrence of substantial exhaustion of the bobbin, by means of lever mechanism 1<a>, 2 the lever 3, 5 is rocked and the arm 5 is freed from the slide 7, which is thereupon moved to the left by a spring 14, the upper blade being raised by a spring to open the shears. When the lay next moves forwards, a finger 17 thereon engages a finger 19 secured to the slide, which is thereby forced back, the guide 13 closing the shears to cut the thread from the spent bobbin, after which action and during the further forward movement of the lay the bobbin-transference is effected. When the lay next moves backwards and forwards again, the slide 7 is again moved to the left by the spring and returned by the lay, so that the shears may cut the thread from the fresh bobbin, whereupon, as the shaft 1 will then have been returned to normal position, the arm 5 engages the slide 7 and maintains it and the shears in normal position.
