Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 11,499. Fairbrother, H., [Fugazza, G.]. May 14. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Drying macaroni &c.-Apparatus for drying long and short alimentary pastes by subjecting them to currents of air alternately in opposite directions. Fig. 2 shows apparatus for drying long pastes in which the pastes are hung on rods or canes c resting on cross-pieces d on a frame mounted on rollers r, so that it may be removed from the compartment, in which it is subjected to an air current caused by a fan v, and replaced in a reversed position. Several compartments are formed in a single box or chamber a. In another form of apparatus, the cross-pieces d on which the rods c rest are directly fastened to the walls or inner frames of the compartments, the reversal of the air current being effected by the fan. In the form of apparatus shown in Fig. 5, for drying short or cut pastes, comprising a box e divided by partitions t into compartments, cross-pieces fare applied to the partitions, of which the lower half are inclined in one direction and the upper half in the opposite direction. The pastes are dried in boxes l of metallic netting or tissue resting on the pieces f by means of a fan v rotating alternately in opposite directions in an opening in the end wall of the box e. In all cases, the air passes in a practically closed circuit, and is slowly renovated through apertures in the walls, which may be provided with fans.
Patent GB-190913621-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Railway Signalling Mechanism.
IPC: B61L21/04
Filed: 1909-06-10
Granted: 1909-11-11
Abstract: 13,621. Societß in Accomandita per l'Utilizzazione delle Invenzioni Ing. Beer. June 24, 1908, [Convention date]. Slots, reversers, and like apparatus.- In an electro-magnetic slot apparatus, a link pivoted to one rod is adapted to engage with a pin on the other rod when the slot is energized, and the armature of the slot magnet is normally outside the electromagnetic field. The end of the operating-rod 2 is slotted to receive the signal rod 1, and a pin 6 on the rod 1 works in a slot 7 in the rod 2. To this pin are pivoted plates 8, one on each side of the rods, and these plates have projections 30 for engaging pins 26 on the rod 1. A plate 13 is pivoted alongside the rods and carries a surrounding channel piece 15, in slots 31 of which normally engage rings 10 on the pin 6. A segmental piece 17 is pivoted at 16 and carries a rod 18, which engages in a slot 19 in an arm 20 pivoted to the pivoted armature 21 of the magnet 22. This armature is normally held out of the field by a weight 25, and rests on a pivoted arm 23 which has a cam-surface 29 restiog on a pin 24 on the rod 2. When the rod 2 is pulled over by the signal lever, the pin 24 acting on the cam-surface 29 first raises the arm 23 and thus raises the armature into the magnet field, at the same time raising the arm 18 and causing the segment 17 to rise behind the channel piece 15. Further movement of the rod 2 allows the arm 23 to fall, and at the same time the rings 10 leave the slot 31 and the projections 30 engage the pin 26. If the magnet 22 is energized, the armature 21 and consequently the segment 17 are held up, and the channel piece then prevents the plates 8 from rotating. The projections 30 will thus pull down the rod 1 and the signal, by acting on the pins 26. If the magnet is afterwards de-energized, the pins 26 will be released and the rod 1 and the signal will return. By varying the position of the weight 25, the apparatus may be used either in a horizontal or vertical position, while the apparatus cannot be operated by stray currents energizing the magnet 22.

Abstract: 24,331. Hollingworth, E., [Crompton & Knowles Loom Works]. Oct. 23. Shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-Movable means for positioning a misplaced bobbin under the transferrer comprise levers 17, 38 pivoted outside the magazine guideways to arms on transverse rods 7, and connected bv lever mechanism to a rod 28 engaging a loop 11<2> on the arm 11, which controls the bunter 9, so that when this is moved into position to cause the transferrer mechanism to be operated, the levers 17, 38 are rocked upwards above the guideways. If a bobbin released from one of the compartments 3<1> has assumed a misplaced position, the lip thereof is engaged by one of the levers 17, 38, and the bobbin is moved downwards and is positively positioned beneath the transferrer. The positioning-mechanism may engage the heads instead of the lip of a misplaced bobbin; it may be operated otherwise than by the transferrer mechanism.

Abstract: 4269. Harper, S. S. Feb. 23, 1909, [Convention date]. Current motors; rotors; setting and alining turbines and shafts.-Relates to improvements in windmills of the kind described in Specification 14,348/06, [Class 10, Animal-power engines &c.]. Rims 2, connected by vertical stays 7, are secured by ranges of spokes 5 to hubs 6 mounted on a shaft 1. The spokes 5 are of equal length and the method of securing them to the hub is shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 7. The stays and spokes may be simultaneously put under tension by sliding one of the hubs 6 along the shaft, a device comprising collars 11, 12 and bolts 13 being employed for this purpose, Fig. 8. Alternatively, each stay and spoke may be separately tightened by means of a nut. Where more than two rims are employed, the ranges of spokes all extend upwards from the rims, except the lowest range which extends downwards. The vanes 4, which are mounted on the stays 7, Fig. 10, comprise a frame 15 of hollow tubing and sails of sheet metal or canvas, or the frame and sail may be combined. Ball bearings immersed in mercury are provided at the upper or lower end of the vane, and also at the points of connexion of the struts 32 with the sails and the ring 33. These struts comprise two inclined members 34 and a vertical member 35, and they impart the requisite feathering motion to the vanes. The ring 33 is fitted with removable wearing blocks. Stops 74 control the movements of the vanes. Fig. 18 shows a method of supporting the windmill on a tower 68. The shaft 1 may be made of a metal tube into which a number of rods 57 have been introduced, reinforced by liquid cement or concrete 58, Fig. 23. In order to adjust the position of the shaft in the bearing 59, it is provided with inclined slots 66, which are engaged by the unthreaded extremities of bolts 65 passing through the sleeve 63 of the supporting-bearing. By twisting the shaft in this sleeve, axial adjustment of the rotor is effected.

In operation, the portion 53 is grasped by the operator who pulls the member 45 into the position shown in Fig. 4, where further movement in an upward direction is prevented by a stop 49. The strip is then drawn out so as to print as many tickets as are required, and the tickets are cut off against the knife 51. The member 45 then returns to its normal position, and a portion of the strip is again protruded.
