Title: Improvements in or relating to Self-guiding Arrangements for Parallel Rulers and the like.
Inventor: SANDURSKYJ SOZONT
IPC: B43L13/04
Filed: 1912-02-07
Granted: 1912-07-25
Abstract: 3109. Sandurskyj, S. Feb. 7. Draughting-machines. -Relates to parallel rulers of the class in which the ends of the ruler are fitted with sheaves which engage one or more wires or cords secured to the drawing-board and led to-andfro across the board between the sheaves. In order to ensure accuracy when the ruler is being worked in an inclined position, a loop m, n of the wire is carried over fixed guides k, l secured to the top and bottom of the board, and the wire works back along the guide when adjusted to an inclined position. The slack of the wire is taken up by a screw clamp o which may be replaced by a spring - controlled plate 8, Fig. 18, mounted over the guide k and released by a finger-piece 10. Modifications of the guidedevice comprise rollers or sheaves slidably mounted on a spindle. Near the edges of the ruler fixed or rotatable guide devices are secured to take over the edges of the board. One of these devices is adjustable to allow the ruler to be moved to an inclined position. To prevent the ruler from descending freely over the guiding- wires when the board is tilted, the sheaves c are acted upon by a brake device consisting of a ball 4, Fig. 16, pressed by a blade spring 6 into an inclined channel in a plate 3 secured over the sheave. In another form, the wire j, Fig. 20, is led from a clamp e round sheaves c, d' on the ruler, then round the top of the board to sheaves c', d and to a clamp h. In order to lead the wire from the level of the board to the level of the ruler, the sheaves on the ruler have their axes suitably inclined. The clamp for the ends of the wire consists of a screw-plate 22, Fig. 30, having projections 23 which prevent the lateral escape of the wire under the pressure of a nut 25 and washer 24. The sheaves d, d<1>, Fig. 35, are mounted on a triangular frame 29 secured to the underside of the ruler and provided with blade springs 31 which brake the sheaves. In a modification, the sheaves are carried in boxes depending from the arms of the frame. The wires may be carried underneath the ruler, and in this case the ruler may be trough-shape in cross-section. The brake for the sheave, consisting of a ball working in a slot, may be combined with the frame for inclined sheaves. Another form of brake consists of a pawl 43, Fig. 45, carried by a plate 44 through which the wire is guided by pins 47. The pawl is limited in its play by a stop 45, and has a braking action when the wire is moved in one direction.

Granted: 1913-01-30
Abstract: 5412. Peake, W. March 4. Levels.-Relates to a coarse and fine adjustment for levels and clinometers. The base a<2> has hinged to it an arm a within which can move an arm b, also hinged at a<1> and carrying the level-tube. The end of the arm a can move over an arc G<2> which is graduated in degrees by the holes G<4> and has attached to it a rack G<5>, the spaces in which can be engaged by a detent G' on the arm a, operated by the lever G<3>. To set the arm a to any given degree, the pin I is inserted in the corresponding hole, the arm is moved up until the stop J thereon abuts against the pin, and the lever G<3> is turned to engage the detent G<1> with the rack G<5>. The setting for minutes and seconds is obtained by rotating the arm b by means of the screw L having a slot M in which engages a projection N on the arm. The screw L is operated by a thumb-piece d<2> and carries a dial d, graduated in minutes up to 15 and having a tooth f to engage the teeth of the quarter-degree dial e. The projection N rests on a bridge 0 which can be adjusted to correct its distance from the hinge a<1>. To secure fine initial adjustment, the projection N is hinged at V and can be moved to a limited extent by means of the screws p, p'. Other means may be employed to adjust the arm b; for example it may be formed as a slide, one end of which can be moved horizontally by means of a nut and screw, while the other end moves along an inclined path.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Lubricators and the like.
Inventor: JOHNSTON ERNEST WALTER
IPC: F16N15/02
Filed: 1912-03-23
Granted: 1912-08-22
Abstract: 7131. Jolanston, E. W. March 23. Displacement lubricators. - A displacement lubricator for steam-engines, air-compressors, &c. is arranged to supply a lubricant miscible with water, such as deflocculated graphite, and the lubricating-mixture is passed through a sight-tube containing a non-aqueous liquid lighter than water, such as paraffin. The mixture of graphite and water is placed in the upper compartment c of a vessel a, and the lower compartment d holds paraffin. Water from a condenser, connected to a steam-pipe r, passes down a pipe p and through a valve o to the chamber d, and the displaced paraffin passes through an inverted U-tube e into the chamber c. The paraffin floats on and displaces the lubricant, which falls in drops through a sight-tube h containing paraffin, the rate of feed being regulated by a valve x. The lubricant is delivered to a nozzle w in the steampipe r through a vertical pipe n, normally full of lubricant. The whole apparatus is under pressure, and the lubricant is fed by the additional pressure of a column of water in the pipe p. A vent v is provided for the escape of air trapped in the sight-tube h and the valve-box g when filling the lubricator. The exhaustion of the lubricant is indicated by drops of clear water passing through the sight-tube. To refill the lubricator the valve o is closed and a draincock s is opened. The water in the chamber d then escapes by the cock s and the paraffin siphons back into the chamber d; a fresh charge of lubricant is then introduced through an opening closed by a plug f. In a modification, the drain-cock s is placed in the lower part of the chamber d and is controlled by a float valve, which floats in water but sinks in oil, closing the valve so that the escape of the paraffin is prevented. Fig. 4 shows a device for delivering the lubricant into the steam-pipe in flushes. A chamber l receives the lubricant from the pipe n, and as soon as this chamber is full the whole contents siphon over through a passage y. A passage y allows steam to enter the chamber during the discharge of lubricant.

IPC: G05G9/10
Filed: 1912-06-10
Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 13,598. Lines, C. B., [Lines, A.]. June 10. Controlling different functions by sarne handle or lever; controlling- apparatus, arrangements of foot and transmission g e a r in conjunction with.-The clutch pedal is adapted to be displaced laterally as well as longitudinally to control the operation of the c l u t c h and the change - speed gear. Figs. 1 and 2 show elevation and plan respectively, and Fig. 3 a section on the line A-B, of a form in which the gear-changing is effected on the g a t e change system, the operating- shaft 8 being adjusted axially on either side of the neutral position to select either of two pairs of gears, and then rotated in either direction to put in operation one of the two selected gears. The pedal 6 moves in the gate 5, shown also in Fig. 5, and is pivoted about the axis 10 on a lever 11 secured to the clutch operating-shaft 7. Lateral adjustment of the pedal rotates the spindle 15 by means of the arm 30. The spindle carries an arm 33, which adjusts the shaft 8 axially by means of a cam 22 fixed on the shaft, the two end portions of the cam being. concentric with the spindle 16. The two slots 1, 4 at one end of the gate thus correspond to one extreme endwise adjustment of the shaft 8, while the slots 2, 3 at the other end correspond to the other extreme adjustment of the shaft. The spindle 15 also carries an arm 31, which adjusts a sleeve 29, feather-Keyed to the shaft 8 and carrying fingers 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, each corresponding to one of the positions of the gate. The middle finger 19 corresponding to the neutral position is straight and the parts of the other fingers adjacent to the sleeve are radial to the shaft 8, but the end portions are bent, so that the shaft 8 is rotated in one direction or the other, when the nose 16, which is adapted to engage one of the fingers. is slid along the spindle 15 by the rod 13 connected to the pedal. A spring 28 keeps the fingers in engagement with the nose 16, or an additional arm 36 may be provided for this purpose, as shown in Fig. 6. The depression of the pedal 6 first declutches and then disconnects any gear in operation by means of the nose 16. The shaft 8 is thus adjusted angularly to the neutral position. The pedal may then be adjusted laterally to select any particular speed, the shaft 8 being thereby adjusted axially and the sleeve 29 also adjusted angularly to bring one of the fingers 17-21 opposite the nose 16. If the pedal is allowed to rise, the gear selected is first put into operation by means of the nose 16 acting on one of the fingers and rotating the shaft 8, while further rise of the pedal engages the clutch. In a modification, a pedal movable in a similar way actuates a pushthrough type of gear in which the operating- shaft is turned backward from the neutral position for the reverse and forward for the forward speeds.

Abstract: 15,300. Gamble, E. H. July 1. Photo-mechanical printing-surfaces.-Relates to a method of producing half-tone negatives in which the printing dots in the high lights are wholly or partly obliterated. A similar method is described in Specification 6768/12 for colour photography. Adjacent to the camera for taking the half-tone negative is a second camera in which an ordinary negative is taken, from which a positive transparency is made. In taking the half-tone negative, a supplementary exposure is made during which the positive is accurately replaced in the adjacent camera and projected on to the object, thereby illuminating intensely the high lights while keeping the dark parts in shadow. If it is required to obliterate entirely the effect of the screen in the high lights, the supplementary exposure is given with the screen removed and the room darkened.

Title: Improvements in Horn Pressure and Locking Mechanisms for Nailing, Stapling and like Machines.
Inventor: COUPAL PETER AMABLE
IPC: B23Q1/28
Filed: 1912-07-09
Granted: 1913-07-09
Abstract: 16,097. Coupal, P. A. July 9. Work-supports.-The work for a nailing, stapling, or like machine is normally held pressed up against a work-plate 11 by an extension spring 21 pulling on a collar 22 secured to a rod 18 pivoted to the treadle lever 16 carrying the horn 12. The pressure exerted on the work due to this spring is sufficiently light to permit the work to be fed. A compression spring 28 bears at its lower end on a collar 29 fixed to the rod 18, and at its upper end on a collar 30 free to slide on the rod and provided with a ratchet rack 32. A spring- pressed pawl 33 mounted on a carrier 35 reciprocated by a cam on the cam shaft of the machine is adapted to engage the teeth of this rack, excepting when the carrier 35 is at the upward limit of its motion, the pawl being then lifted from the rack by a plate 36 secured to the machine frame. The collar 30 when free is lifted by the spring against a stop 31 on the rod 18. The reciprocation of the pawl causes an extra pressure to be applied intermittently to the work, this extra pressure being constant notwithstanding varying thicknesses of work. The horn is held rigid during the actual nailing or like operation by a device operated from the pawl-carrier 35. A link 63 is connected at one end to the carrier and at the other to one end of a lever having for its other end a fork 57, 58, through the members of which studs 55, 56 are screwed. These studs adjustably grip a projection 54 extending from a clamping screw 51, which passes freely through one ear 50 of a split collar 48 engaging the rod 18 and is threaded into the other ear 49. The screw is so arranged that, as the pawl-carrier reaches its lowest position, the collar is tightly clamped upon the rod 18 and so holds the horn immovable, the collar 48 being arranged to have no vertical movement. To permit adjustment for wear, a washer or filling piece 53 is arranged between the shoulder of the screw and the ear 50. Specifications 6056/93 and 4919/12 are referred to.
