Title: Improvements in Gyroscope-compasses.
Inventor: HARDINGHAM GEORGE GATTON MELHU
IPC: G01C19/38
Filed: 1910-10-11
Granted: 1911-07-20
Abstract: 23,575. Hardingham, G. G. M., [Hartmann & Braun Akt.-Ges.]. Oct. 11. Gyroscopic compasses. -A gyroscope-compass with Foucault tendency has a further field of force operating symmetrically on all sides to the vertical axis added to the effect of the force of gravity. The further force, without interfering with the free revolution of the gyroscope - compass on its vertical axis, exercises an influence which tends to reduce the period of oscillation and at the same time to reduce any deviation due to disturbing influences. The auxiliary field exerts an effort to reduce the deviation of the vertical axis of the gyroscope-compass in direct proportion to the size of this angle, and the direction of the auxiliary field made independent of the ship's movements by special means, such as suspension on the ' Cardan ' system, or on a plate k kept horizontal by a special gyroscope system. The auxiliary field is rendered independent of the vessel's turning movements by means of a supporting-base, which is under the influence of a compensating-device acting rotatively and arranged in such a manner that, upon the vessel turning through any angle, the said base is caused to turn through a corresponding angle, but in an opposite direction. The auxiliary field may be produced in various ways for example by means of an electro-magnet e of potlike form, the armature p of which is connected to the gyroscope-compass; or by a verticallyarranged solenoid operating on a metallic mass connected with the vertical axis of the gyroscope ; or by causing compressed air to act upon a surface arranged symmetrically to the vertical axis.

Title: Arrangement for the Manufacture of Pattern Cards for Automatic Embroidering Machines.
Inventor: BIRNSTENGEL CARL AUGUST
IPC: D05C13/00
Filed: 1911-01-02
Granted: 1912-01-02
Abstract: 38. Birnstengel, C. A. Jan. 2. Cards and the like, punching. - Relates to arrangements for producing pattern cards for embroidery machines, wherein the cards for only one-half of a symmetrical pattern are directly produced on the reading and stamping machine, the card for the other half of the pattern being obtained from this card. A series of bent fingers c, Figs. 1 and 5, of a frame are arranged in staggered order in series in bars a, b, so that bars c which fit through series I of the holes in the bar a fit through series III of the holes in the bar b, and bars which fit in series II of holes in the bar a fit in series IV of holes in the bar b. The cards are such that the stitch produced in the embroidery machine by perforations in the left half of the card, corresponding to series I and II of the holes in the bars a, b, travels in the direction from lefthand below to right - hand above, or from right - hand above to left-hand below according to whether the direction hole (the first in each series) is punched or not. On the other hand, the stitch produced by perforations in the right-hand half of the card, corresponding to series III and IV of the holes in the bars, travels from righthand below to left-hand above, or from left-hand above to right-hand below. The card for the first half of the pattern may be placed in a repeating-machine, fingers of which then operate the fingers c ; or the punched cards may be placed in front of the fingers c, and other fingers corresponding in number to the fingers c be caused to press on the cards, so as to pass through holes therein and act on the fingers c, which are caused to punch a second card. Where the originallypunched card is perforated on the left-hand half (i.e. in series I and II), the fingers c cause the second card produced therefrom to be punched on the right-hand half (i.e. in series III and IV and vice versa), so that when placed in the embroidery machine, the second card causes a stitch of exactly the opposite slope to that produced in the embroidery machine by the corresponding part of the first card, and the whole of this second card will produce a pattern that is the reverse of that produced by the first card. The two cards thus together produce a complete symmetrical pattern.

Title: Improvements in Forming Indiarubber and other Goods by Dipping.
Inventor: HEATON WILLIAM
IPC: B29C41/14
Filed: 1912-02-20
Granted: 1912-10-17
Abstract: 4212. Heaton, W. Feb. 20. Moulding by dipping.-In apparatus for forming india-rubber or like articles by dipping, of the type comprising an endless belt or chain conveyer carrying the moulds which dip into a tank containing the india-rubber solution, the moulds are so mounted and operated that they do not move laterally within or across the dipping-liquid during immersion. As shown in Fig. 1, mould-carriers G are suspended on chains A, which are operated intermittently to bring each frame, in turn, over a tank E, where it is arrested while the tank is raised to immerse the moulds H and lowered again. A continuously-rotating shaft operates the chain through stop gearing I, L, Fig. 3, and raises and lowers the tank E by a cam J. The level of the dipping-liquid is maintained constant by supplying the tank from a closed reservoir O, fitted with an outlet Q and an air-pipe P controlled by the liquid in the tank. To ensure even distribution of the material on the moulds H, the frames G may be turned through 180 degrees at intervals. Means for effecting this consists in pivoting the frames to an axle M, Fig. 5, fitted with a notched wheel N adapted to be rotated by fixed pins n, n<1> ; or, according to the Provisional Specification, a pinion engaging with a fixed rack may be employed. A stationary tank may be employed in conjunction with the moving chain; or a tank moved in the same direction as the chains, the arrangement in all cases being such that there is no relative horizontal motion between the moulds and dipping-liquid. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which a long conveyer is employed so that the moulds can be passed through a drying-chamber R. The chains are passed around rollers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, D, D<1>, the part of the conveyer within the chamber R being moved continuously. An intermittent movement is imparted to the part above the tank E by intermittently operating the roller D. Rollers S, T, mounted at opposite ends of a balance lever U, keep the chains taut. The chamber R may be fitted with means for recovering the solvent evaporated from the articles. The chain wheels may begin to move just as the tips of the moulds leave the liquid, so as to remove any air bubbles on the extreme tips. Fig. 7 shows a mould for making feeding- bottle teats.

Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 6078. Schmid, F. Aug. 10, 1911, [Convention date]. Switches, quick-break; clock-work actuation. -In an electric time switch, the closing of a hand switch 6 moves a finger 53 through a recessed disk 34 forming part of the retaining- mechanism, and also throws a clock-work 2 into engagement with the retaining-mechanism. A timing-dial 7 and the retaining-disk 34 having been rotated bv a hand device 51<a> to the desired position, the clock-work drives the disk 34 back to zero, allowing the finger 53 to escape and the switch to open. The switch comprises two parallel arms 11 connected by a cross-bar 13 and provided with slots in which the movable contacts 16 are mounted by means of pins passing through the slots and through ears 17 formed on the contacts 16. The ears 17 are connected to pins 22 on the arms 11 by springs 21 which tend to throw the switch into the open position. On closing the switch, a toothed segment 25 on the switch engages a similar segment 26 on a pivoted arm 27, and, through the medium of a rod 30 and crank disk 29, turns a shaft 31 and causes the finger 53 to pass through the recess in the disk 34. The disk 34 and dial 7 are mounted on a shaft 35 which also carries a gear-wheel 37 meshing with a rack 38, the lower end of which engages a gear-wheel 47 frictionally mounted on a shaft 44. A small shaft 50 carried by a spring 51 extends through the base-plate 1 and is provided with a knob 51<a>; the inner end of this shaft carries a gearwheel 49 which can be moved by means of the knob into engagement with the wheel 47 and turned so as to set the disk 34 and dial 7 to the time when the switch is to be opened. On closing the switch, an eccentric 59 on the shaft 31 engages a fork 58 on a spring lever 54 fulcrumed at 55; the other end of the lever engages the shaft 44 and moves a gear-wheel 45 carried by the shaft into engagement with a wheel 46 of the clock-work. The clock-work then drives the shaft 44, and, through the medium of the gear-wheel 47, rack 38, and gear-wheel 37, moves the shaft 35 and disk 34 until, at the predetermined time, the recess in the disk registers with the finger, 53 and the switch is thrown off by the springs 21, grooved spring stops 23 being provided to cushion the fall of the switch and to prevent the switch arms from engaging the fuses 24.
