Title: An Improved Device for Opening or Tightly Closing Hinged Doors on Ships from a Distant Point of Operation.
Inventor: MAZZOLINI GIUSEPPE
IPC: B63B19/00
Filed: 1910-04-13
Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 8994. Mazzolini, G. April 13. Operating swinging doors.-Mechanism for opening and tightly closing hinged doors on ships from a distant point, comprises a device of the kind in which the door is operated from a piston-rod, rack-bar or other operative mechanism by means of a frame provided with wedges, such frame receiving, after closure of the door, a further movement for forcing the door against its seating. The wedge frame consists of two sections 2, 3 connected by slotted links 4, Fig. 5, to permit of relative movement and allow the section 2 to turn with the door 1 on its hinges 3<1>, whilst allowing a rigid connexion of the section 3 with forked projections 17 of a cross-bar secured to the operating-rod 19. The section 2 is slidably connected to the door by wedge-shaped parts 21, 22, and the section 3, which works under a rigid cross-bar 16, carries an arm 20<1> to act against the section 2, and wedge-ended arms 20 to act against wedges 23 on the door. On operating the rod 19 to close the door the section 3 first acts through the parts 20, 20<1> to turn the door, carrying the section 2, to its closed position, the pivots 15<1>, Fig. 5, during this movement sliding in the slotted links. The further movement of the section 3 then advances the section 2, whereby wedges 10 arranged at intervals on one side thereof engage corresponding wedges 13 on the door and wedges 8<1> on the other side engage corresponding wedges 8 carried by the door frame, while at the same time the wedge arms 20 carried by the section 3 and wedges on the forked arms 17 engage corresponding wedges near the hinged edge of the door. To open, the first movement of the rod 19 releases all the wedges and the further movement acts by means of the links 4 and parts 20, 23 to open the door. Door holders.-To secure the door when open, a pivoted hook 26 carrying a pinion 25<1> is rotated by a rack on the operating-rod to engage a staple 26 on the door, such hook being disengaged by the reverse movement of the rod to close the door.

Filed: 1910-06-28
Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 15,550. Klaiber, M. June 28. Kinematograph apparatus.-Kinematograph films are fed by intermittently-actuated gripping-devices carried on endless travelling members, the invention also comprises a firepreventing device consisting of a mirror automatically interposed in the path of the illuminating rays so that a lantern slide may be projected when the film is at rest. The coacting grippers D, E are mounted on sprocket chains C passing over sprocket-wheels F, H. The wheels supporting the gripper D when passing through the film gate bear on a spring- supported track I. The gripper E is provided with a pair of antifriction spring-supported rollers 11, which co-operate with cam-surfaces 9, 10 formed on a track 7 and throw the gripper forward to coact with the gripper D and feed the film forward by the required amount. Means are provided whereby the track 7 can bo longitudinally adjusted to alter the point at which the film is gripped. The length of feed can also be varied by adjusting the length of the cam-surfaces 9, 10. This is accomplished by providing auxiliary sliding camsurfaces at the back of the main cam-surfaces. The fire-preventing device comprises a mirror N, which is automatically operated by link-work from a governor 42. The illuminating rays are reflected through a projecting lens P on to a second mirror 0, so that a lantern slide 55 can be pushed along the guides 56 and be projected on the screen when the film is at rest.

Abstract: 28,217. Atherton, G. Dec. 5. Blocking. - In hat - blocking machines, particularly of the type described in Specification 21,339/09, in order to form a sharp angle between the crown and brim, a split ring, placed outside the hat body, is pressed down by the banding-shell, which is provided with an external casing into which steam is admitted. Round the hat body, which is held in the ordinary way by a stretching-device A, is placed a ring u, covered with felt or not, having handles a<2>, and a cut a<1> masked by a thin plate to prevent marking the hat. The bottom edge is made square or comparatively sharp as shown at f, so that, when the banding-shell e bears on the ring or on projections a<3>, a sharp angle is formed. For use with dry steam only, the banding-shell is provided with a casing g, provided with a partition h, and having an inlet i for live steam, and an outlet k for condensed steam. The shell e communicates with the casing g by a series of holes j, and perforations or slots n are provided to supply steam to the brim.

Patent GB-191120935-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Actuating Dampers or the like.
Inventor: HORNER LEONARD
Filed: 1911-09-22
Granted: 1912-09-23
Abstract: 20,935. Horner, L. Sept. 22. Regulating combustion.-A solenoid or electromagnet is excited when the pressure in a boiler reaches a predetermined limit and operates a valve admitting steam to a cylinder which closes a damper or regulates mechanical stokers, steam jets, or induced-draught fans. When the needle C<11> of the gauge C contacts with the adjustable finger C<12> a current flows through the lead C<3> to the terminal C<1>, thence to the needle C<11>, from the finger C<12> to the terminal C<2>, through the lead C<4> to a contact-strip K' carried by the solenoid core, and thence through the solenoid and back to the battery. The core is thus lifted, raising a weighted arm D<1> pivoted at D<2> and allowing steam to open the valve D and pass to the cylinder B. The piston B' thus depressed lowers the bars B<4> carrying the cross member B<5> and pulley B<6> and pulls the cord E closing the damper &c. To reduce the current when the valve is opened, a shunt circuit with a resistance R is provided through which the current passes when the contact strip K<7> is raised by the core. When the pressure falls, contact at the gauge is broken, and the weighted arm D<1> falls, depressing the valve spindle d and cutting off the supply to the cylinder B, while the contact-strip K<7> returns to its previous position. In a modification, the solenoid core is immediately above the valve D and flexibly connected to its spindle and the pulley B<6> is carried by a cross-head attached to the piston rod. In a further modification, Fig. 3, the solenoid is arranged within a casing M fitted on the cylinder B, and the lower end of its core constitutes the valve k<1> and seats in an opening b<1> in the cylinder head. The upper end of the core carries a plate b<3>, upon which a spring b<4> in a recess M' operates to close the valve.

Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 956. Siemens-Schuckertwerke. Sept. 28, 1911, [Convention date]. Systems for controlling travel for a fixed distance or number of revolutions.-In a system for causing a searchlight to copy the movements of a telescope, movement of one member of a hunting- switch acts through relays to energize a normally short-circuited motor, which runs until a synchronous motor at the transmitter has caused a second member of the switch to follow up the first, the distant motor being supplied with stronger current for large than for small displacements. Movement of the telescope 1 about a vertical axis energizes the relays 6 or 15 by means of the contacts 4 and 5 or 13, according to the direction of movement, so connecting one pole or other of the motor 2 to the middle of the resistance 9. Further movement causes the contacts 10, 11 to energize the relay 12, applying the full voltage to the motor. The motor 2 continues to move the search-light until the synchronous motor 17 has turned the second member of the switch to cause the contact 4 to lie between the contacts 5, 13, when the normal short - circuit is reestablished, stopping the motor sharply. A similar switch 19, 20 controls the elevating- motor 3.
