Granted: 1908-03-21
Abstract: 6953. Grussendorf, G. March 22. Gas-actuated and hydraulically actuated pumps.- In piston and bucket pumps operated by diaphragms, the motive fluid for actuating the diaphragms, which may be steam, compressed air or gas, heated air, or a liquid, is controlled from a distance. As shown in Fig. 1, diaphragms b, b<1> made of leather covered or impregnated with soft rubber &c. are secured to chambers d, d' containing glycerine, and the diaphragm b is connected directly to the rod x of a double acting pnmp, while the diaphragm b<1> is connected to this rod through rods and bars p, t, y, v. The diaphragm chambers communicate by pipes a, a<1> with vessels w, w<1> containing liquid into which the operating gaseous fluid is admitted alternately by distributing-valves v<1>, v<2>, v<3>, v<4>, also fitted with flexible diaphragms x<1> and controlled by cams g on a rotary shaft f. By the use of the liquid columns, the quantity of gaseous fluid required is reduced, but the liquid may be dispensed with. As shown in Fig. 2, the diaphragms b, b<1> are operated by the pressure due to columns of liquid of different heights. The diaphragms may be arranged one above the other, in which case the upper diaphragm is slightly larger to compensate for the difference in height of the columns, or they may be arranged side by side and actuate separate lift pumps. The vertical pipes a, a' are connected by flexible pieces p, p<1> to pivoted pipes s, s' communicating with vessels r, r<1>, which are connected by a rope passing round pulleys u, t. When a rotary oscillation is imparted to the pulley t, the pipes s, s<1> are oscillated through a right-angle, thereby supplying pressure to the diaphragms alternately. The pivots q, q<1> of the pipes s, s<1> may be provided with levers which are oscillated by cams on a rotating shaft.

Abstract: 11,378. Cattelani, F., Pastori, G. L., and Cattelani. G., [trading as Automatic and Sanitary Distributors Co]. May 15. Feeding sheets.-Sheets of paper or the like are delivered singly by means of apparatus which is shown as provided with coin - freed apparatus, which may, however, be dispensed with. A coin inseited into the shoot 8, Fig. 1, falls into the receptacle 12, thus tilting the lever 9 and withdrawing the plate 19 from engagement with the stop 20. The rod e can then be drawn down against the action of the spring v by means of the handle f, the rubber rings z on the cross piece x carried by the spring arms h causing the top sheet of paper to be drawn downwards and torn off the knife-edges b, and the arm 17 acting on the pin 16 to tilt the receptacle 12 so as to deposit the coin in the Box 18. During the downward movement; pins 2 at the end of the rod x pass, beneath pivoted levers 5, Fig. 2, but during the upward movement they pass over them, thus holding the rings z away from the surface of the paper. As the rod e is pulled down, the tooth s of the lever o slips over the teeth of the rack k until the stop m contacts with the pin q, thus forcing the lever over the spring stop u, so that on the release of the handle j the rod e rises until the stop n contacts with the pin q and restores the lever o to its former position. Should the handle f be released without drawing the mechanism over its entire path, the tooth catches one of the teeth of the rack.

Granted: 1907-10-24
Abstract: 13,563. Fairweather, H. G. C., [Friendly, H. M.]. June 12. Testing ; wheatstone bridges. - For locating a fault by the Varley loop test, using a bridge arrangement, a resistance r, Fig. 3, is short-circuited while a second resistance r' is adjusted till the galvanometer G is not deflected, the battery B being connected to the junction 17 of the resistance r<1> with the faulty line ; the battery is then put to earth, and the resistance r is adjusted till a balance is again obtained. The resistance of the faulty line to the fault is the resistance r divided by the ratio of the sum of the arms a, b to the arm a. Values of a, bare chosen which make this ratio a power of ten. The resistance r<1> need not be calibrated. In a modification, this resistance is arranged in the other line of the loop. The proportional arms a, b may be constituted by a slide wire having a fixed contact at one end and two movable contacts. A scale is provided. By making the ratio of the sum of the proportional arms to one of them equal to the length per ohm of the conductor under test, the resistance r in ohms gives directly the distance to the fault. To facilitate such direct measurements, the slide wire may have two additional scales, one marked at certain points with the names of metals, the other graduated in circular mils or according to standard gauges, and one of the movable contacts is set to the mark indicating the metal of the conductor under test, and the other to the mark indicating its crosssection. Plug-blocks, arranged as shown in Fig. 1, enable the connexions required for the above tests or for the ordinary tests to be made by inserting conical plugs ; the blocks are mounted on an insulating-base, which may carry also the galvanometer, the resistances a, b, r, r<1>, and keys 27, 32.

Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 17,867. Justice, P. M., [Parker Machine Co.]. Aug. 6. Typewriters.-Relates to means for shifting the platen in a typewriter for different case printing. The mechanism is shown applied to a frontstrike machine employing type - bars 3, which are operated by key-levers 7, and a platen 4 carried by a frame 9 which is movable horizontally and vertically on an abutment 15. Secured to the frame 9 is a channel-bar 18, in which is located a spring block attached to the end of an arm 21 of a lever 20 which is pivoted to the framework. The spring block comprises t h r e e rollers 22, 23, 24 and a leaf - spring 25 which causes the rollers to press against both sides of the channel-bar. Universally jointed to the end 28 of the lever 20 is a floating lever 29, which is pivoted at 30, 32 to two shift levers 31, 33 pivoted at 34. One of the points 30, 32 acts as a fulcrum for the lever 29 when a shift lever is depressed. A spring 38, attached to the lever 29 between the pivots 30, 32, pulls the shift levers 31, 33 upwards against a stop 40. The front ends 41,- 42 of the shift levers carry finger-pieces and are hinged to the levers at 43, 44, a notch connexion 46, 48 therewith allowing a little play about the hinge. Pivotally carried also by the hinge pins 43. 44 are finger levers 54, 55, intrgral with locking-arms 51, 52 which are connected by springs 60 with the levers 31, 33. The arms 51, 52 normally rest upon a platform 53 when the platen is in its central position. The platen is raised or lowered for change of case by pressing down the particular shift lever. The slight initial movement of the members 41, 42 due to the play allowed by the connexion 46, 48 causes the arms 51, 52 to move off the platform 53 and so allow further depression of the key-levers. When it is desired to lock the platen in its shifted position, the fingerlever 54 or 55 is depressed so that a lip 61 on the arm 51 or 52 locks beneath a member 62. The vertical case movements of the plates are noiselessly limited by means of toggle-links pivoted to the framework and lever 20 at 63, 66 respectively and connected by a spring 69 which tends to hold the platen in its central position. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which a roller'73 on an arm 72 pivoted to the lever 20 is guided in a V-shaped member 70 which is adjustable by eccentrics 71. A spring 76 tends to hold the arm 72 parallel with the lever 20.

Abstract: 26,271. Lake, W. E., [Greene, F. C.]. Nov. 27. Loading and unloading; tipping-apparatus.-In mechanism for handling and unloading railway cars, more particularly for use in mines, the cars are hauled up an incline by endless cables and are tipped and traversed to an upper return track by a pivoted structure. Fig. 1 shows mechanism for hauling the cars from the pit mouth to the upper part of a structure A, into which the cars are tipped, the coal being afterwards screened and distributed to wagons a. The cars are hauled up the incline by means of endless chains or cables c<1> connected by cross-bars c<6> carrying wheels c<7> running on auxiliary side tracks c<2>, Fig. 6. At the upper end of the incline, the cars are drawn on to a steeper portion of the track e<1> forming part of a pivoted structure D, the increased inclination causing the coal to be tipped. The guide-wheels c' then engage underneath girders e', causing the structure D to revolve, until the track e<1> registers with the upper return rails. The bars c<6> then prevent the cars from running down at excessive speed. The cars are fed on and off the tracks by travelling belts b<1>, b<2>, the length of which is equal to the distance between two of the cross-bars c<6>. In a modification shown in Fig. 4, the structure D is replaced by a single pivoted beam D', balanced by a counterweight D<2>, The beam is raised as before by the actions of the rollers c' on the underside of a rail d<2>, and the beam is retained in the raised position by an automatic catch d<3>. This is released when the cars run down the upper track, by knocking over the lever d<4>. At the lower end of this track, a portion of the rail is hinged, as shown in Fig. 8, in order to allow the cross-bars c<6> to pass through the track. As the car approaches, the bar c<6> engages and lifts a bent arm c<12>, causing a portion of the track to be turned about the pivot c'‹. The pivoted portion of the track is replaced by the bar c<6> engaging a downward extension c<13> of the arm c<12>.
