Patent GB-191124260-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Hinge-pins and the like.
Inventor: KNIGHT EDWARD MARTIN
IPC: F16B21/10
Filed: 1911-11-01
Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 24,260. Knight, E. M. Nov. 1. Hinge pins.-A hinge pin or the like, applicable for pivoting the lever of a ball valve &c., is of the type having a head at one end of the pin and a longitudinal slot at the other end in which is pivoted a tongue or lever, such as C, that can bo turned to bring it either in line with the pin or at right-angles thereto. The invention consists in forming the head as a nut F adjustable on the shank so that the device can be tightened up when the pin has been passed through the hole intended to receive it and the tongue or lever C turned at right-angles thereto. The head of the shank is preferably riveted over to prevent loss of the nut. A winged nut may be provided.

Abstract: 10,214. Markee, R. T. April 30. Coating bakers' and confectioners' goods. - Comprises a hand-operated machine for icing or coating cakes with suger &c., the machine being duplex in character, that is, while one set of cakes is being coated another set is being removed to a receiving pan. End frames 1 connected by braces 2 support a pair of pans 3, 4, the pan 3 containing the coating-material, while the pan 4 contains hot water. Carried by the end frames are cake lifting and carrying devices consisting of a bar 6 having a handle 7 at one end and arms 8 between which wires 9 are stretched to form a carrier. The bar 6 lies in notches in the side frames. Levers 14 underlying the bars 6 are pivoted to the frame at 13, and are connected by links 15 to levers 16 forming bell-cranks with the handles 18, which are operated to lift the arms 14 and to raise the bars 6, causing the carriers to rise under the cakes and lift them clear of the coating-material. The bar 6 is then turned by its handle and the cakes are transferred to pans on platforms carried by the frame. In order to give a parallel lift, supplemental arms 22 overlie the arms 14 and are engaged by them together with the shaft 6. Stops 24 are provided to limit the downward movement.

Title: Improvements in and relating to a Process and Apparatus for Reproducing a Design upon a Cylindrical Surface.
Inventor: HOLST LODEWYK JAN RUTGER
IPC: G03B27/50
Filed: 1912-05-25
Granted: 1913-01-02
Abstract: 12,438. Holst, L. J. R. May 25. Enlarging, copying, and reducing.-For the production of printing - rollers, an original negative or design is directly copied on to a sensitized roller which rotates in unison with the rectilinear movement of the original. The apparatus enables the ratio of enlargement to be adjusted so that during a complete traverse of the original the cylinder just completes one revolution. Mechanism such as described in Specification 27,777/11 is used for maintaining the enlarger in focus during its adjustment. The printing-roller 1 is rotated from a wheel 12 by gearing 2-10, which is such that the roller is turned exactly through one complete rotation as the wheel 12 is turned through 180 degrees. The design plate 21<a> is moved across a narrow aperture 22<a> behind which is the light 23, by a rod 20 connected with a pin 18, which is constrained to move in a vertical slot of a frame 19 and in a slot 16<a> of the pivoted arm 16. The latter arm is pivoted at 17 and is used to rotate the wheel 12 by means of a pin 14. The parts are arranged so that the pivot 17 and the upper and lower vertical position of the pin 14 form an equilateral triangle. With this construction, the motion of the pin 18 and therefore of the plate 21<a> is at any instant directly proportional to the angular rotation of the wheel 12 and therefore of the cylinder 1. In use, the frame 19 is adjusted towards or away from the pivot 17 so that the whole of the design to be copied just traverses across the opening 22<a> during a complete traverse of the pin 18. The enlarger is then adjusted to focus the plate properly on to the roller, and, by means of the pantograph mechanism 24, the point 39 is fixed axially and the pivot 29 of an auxiliary lever 30 is arranged on the radius lever 28 so that the distance from the point 39 is to the whole length of the lever 28 as 1 to 3À1416, and the point 30<a> is adjustable so that the distance 39-30<a> is equal to the radius of the cylinder 1. The span 25, 26 will then be equal to the circumference. The hand-wheel 41 of the enlarger is adjusted until the design used is enlarged to the height 25-26. Any error due to any eccentricity of the roller 1 is compensated for by rotating the cylinder in contact with a bracket 27 connected with the point 30<a> and observing the maximum and minimum distances between the points 25, 26 by means of eye-pieces and cross-wires 25<a>, 26<a> and by taking the average distance as the required magnification. The cylinder is exposed through a slot 40<a> corresponding to the slot 22<a>, both of the slots being on the optic axis of the enlarging-lens.

Title: Improvements in or applicable to Rotary Coal Tipplers.
Inventor: BERRISFORD SAMUEL
IPC: B65G67/00
Filed: 1913-12-22
Granted: 1915-02-25
Abstract: 29,489. Berrisford, S. Dec. 22. Rotary tipplers. - Comprises safety-apparatus for use in connexion with rotary tipplers of the kind in which the rails in the apparatus are depressed by the weight of a loaded tub to cause gripping-apparatus to engage the axles. The tippler is locked against rotation by a double trip-mechanism which is released partly by the weight of a loaded tub in position for tipping and partly by the weight of the empty tub emerging from the tippler. The tippler is locked by a projection 11, Fig. 8, engaging a lever 9, which is supported by a projection on a weight 7. When the shaft q is rotated, the projection is moved into the recess 13, thus releasing the tippler. At the completion of a revolution, a member 16, Fig. 1, operates an arm 14, Fig. 7, linked to the weight 7 and resets the locking-apparatus and the trip-gear described below. The shaft q is prevented from rotating until released by the double trip-gear shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. On the shaft q are mounted two other weights p, v connected to the shaft by a common clutch s. The weight p is supported at n on a system of links terminating in a roller f. The platform a is hinged at one end and supported by springs so that the weight of the loaded tub depresses the roller f against the action of a weight o and releases the weight p. The weight v is supported similarly by links terminating in a lever 2, Fig. 3, which is depressed by the axle of theemerging empty tub. When both weights have been released, they rotate the shaft q to operate the weight 7. The hinged platform a carries two pivoted links which are linked at intermediate points to fixed points on the framing so that as the platform is depressed the links are rotated upwards to bear against the axle of the tub to form stops. In a modification, two weights corresponding to the weights p, v are held by levers with hooked ends which are mounted on a shaft intermediate to the shafts h, q. These levers are actuated one by the depression of the roller f, and the other by the depression of the lever 2, by the loaded tub and the emerging empty tub respectively.

Abstract: 13,598. Gray, E. E. March 23, [Convention date]. Starting.-In a multiple-impulse engine, the number of impulses per stroke is varied independently of the speed of the crank-shaft. Combustible mixture is supplied to pockets 29 in a charging valve 28 and conveyed to the high-pressure cylinder of a compound engine through a passage 32 and an automatic lift valve 34. The charges enter the pockets through a passage 42 controlled by an oscillating valve 44 actuated from the spindle 60 of an oscillating exhaust valve by a link 63 and arms 62<a>, 64. The valve 44 prevents charges from entering the valve pockets during the exhaust stroke of the piston 12. Combustible mixture for normal running is prepared in the passage 42 but, when starting with the piston 12 at rest on its exhaust stroke, the valve is charged through an auxiliary passage 130. When starting from this position, the exhaust valve of the high-pressure cylinder being open and the cranks at 180 degrees, the gases expanding on the larger area of the lowpressure piston bring the high-pressure piston to the top of its stroke. The charging valve is driven by an electric motor through chain gearing 83, 84, 85, the motor being used at starting only, or during normal working. When using the motor at starting only, the valve is actuated during normal working by toothed gearing 88, 89 and friction wheels 99, 97. The engine may work double acting, and, instead of igniting the charges in the pockets of the charging valve, they may be fired in the highpressure cylinder.
