Title: Improvements in or relating to Controlling Mechanism for Hoisting Apparatus.
Inventor: BECCAT GEORGES
IPC: B66D3/12
Filed: 1912-02-10
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 3435. Beccat, G. Feb. 10. Self-sustaining gear. - Comprises a self-sustaining gear for hoisting-apparatus in which a loose brake drum carrying coiled cable is arranged between the axially-movable operating- member and a friction disk keyed to the driving or drum spindle. The drum spindle a carries a disk c, the boss of which is screw-threaded to receive the operating-pulley d. The brake drum h is mounted between a flange on the disk c and the boss of the pulley d, a leather washer g and a zinc washer i being provided. A collar f is secured to the end of the spindle a. A cable is coiled round the drum h, one end being fixed to the framing by a rod l, while the other end is attached to a spring m, the tension of which can be lessened by operating a cam o. Hoisting is effected by turning the pulley d so as to squeeze together the drum h and washers against the disk c. The brake does not come into action as the hoisting movement tends to uncoil the cable. Any tendency of the load to run down increases the friction of the cable. To lower, the tension of the cable is released by operating the cam o. The speed of lowering may exactly correspond to the movement of the pulley d by maintaining the proper tension on the spring m, any tendency to over-run locking the members together again.

Title: A Process for Obtaining Rubber or similar Substances from Polymerised Vinyl-bromide or Polymerised Vinyl-chloride or their Methyl Homologues.
IPC: C08F8/00
Filed: 1912-03-13
Granted: 1913-04-10
Abstract: 6299. Ostromislensky, I., and Obstchestvo proizvodstva & torgovli resinovymi izdeliami " Bogatyr." March 13. Synthetic caoutchouc and like substances are prepared by treating the polymerization products of vinyl bromide or chloride or their methyl homologues or of mixtures of these substances, with metals, water, alcoholic or aqueous potash, or aromatic amines, or by subjecting the polymerization products to a high temperature in solution, for example in naphthalene, nitrobenzene, &c. Suitable metals are zinc dust in the presence of alcohol, zinc dust coated with copper, aluminium amalgam, sodium, &c. Polymerized vinyl bromide and chloride and their methyl homologues are obtained by the action of ultra-violet rays upon the unpolymerized compounds. In the case of vinyl bromide and chloride, sunlight effects the polymerization, which may be carried out in solution in brombenzene, benzene, toluene. xylene, or carbon disulphide. Brompropylenes.-alpha-Brompropylenes are obtained by treating an alcoholic solution of tribrompropane with zinc dust. A mixture of a- and #- brompropylenes is obtained by treating 1:2-dibrompropane with a solution of sodium phenolate.

Title: Improvements in Dobbies of Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: HILL EDWARD
IPC: D03C1/36
Filed: 1912-04-25
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 9797. Hill, E., Holmes, G. P., and Holmes, J. T. April 25. Dobbies.-In cross-border dobbies of the type described in Specification 23,247/96 wherein a measuring-chain comprising cam and plain links is used for bringing either of the lag-barrels into operative position, the measuring-chain is also used to govern the direction of rotation of one of the lag-barrels. In one form, wherein the inner lag-barrel is thus governed, the measuring-chain g, Fig. 5, has single cam-links and double cam-links, the cam parts g<2>, g<4> of which bring the inner barrel into operation. The cam part g<3> of a double cam-link lifts a spring-controlled lever e, Fig. 1, but a single cam-link allows this lever to rest on the boss of the chain-wheel, a link d<4> raising or lowering the arm d<3> of a three-armed lever d, d<1>, d<2> accordingly. The lag-barrel is provided with two ratchet-wheels c<1> having oppositely-directed teeth driven by pawls c<3>, a<3> carried by the driving-lever b and a lever a<1> driven therefrom. When the arm d<3> is raised, the arm d<1> lifts the pawl a<3> out of action, the pawl c<3> driving the lag-barrel, whilst, when the arm d<3> is lowered, the arm d<2> lifts the pawl c<3> out of action, the pawl a<3> then driving the lag-barrel in a reverse direction. When the inner lag-barrel is lowered out of action, the catch c<3> is held out of action by the arm d<2> and the catch a<3> by an inclined stand h. In another arrangement, the measuring-chain governs the direction of rotation of the outer lag-barrel and is provided with plain links and cam-links g<3>, Fig. 6, the latter raising a spring-controlled lever p, Fig. 3, linked to a lever k<1>, k<2> provided with two pins k<3> for holding out of action either of two catches m, m<1> adapted to engage oppositely-toothed ratchetwheels n. When the arm k<1> is lowered, the catch m is held out of action, whilst, when the arm is raised, the catch m<1> is held out of action. When a cam-link having its cam part on the opposite side of the chain to the cam-link g<3>, Fig. 6, comes into action, the outer lag-barrel is lowered out of action.

Title: Improvements in Variable Speed Gearing.
Inventor: DOUGLAS JAMES ATKINSON
IPC: F16H3/08
Filed: 1912-04-26
Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 9982. Douglas, J. A. April 26. Variable-speed epicyclic gearing comprises an arrangement of spur and bevel toothed wheels which gives a continuously-variable velocity ratio. The speed is varied by varying the eccentricity with respect to alined driving and driven shafts 5, 6, Fig. 1, of a bevel reversing- gear 42, 48, 43, as shown in Fig. 2. A frame 8 consisting of rectangular members 10, 11 at right-angles to one another is secured to the shaft 5. A gear 14 is secured to a fixed frame 2. A like gear 25 is secured to the shaft 6. Other like gears 40, 41 are connected by the reversing-train 42, 48, 43. The gears 14, 40 are engaged by toothed planetary wheels 31, 32, which are secured to a spindle 29 carried by the frame 8. The gears 25, 41 are engaged by like wheels 34, 33 secured likewise to a spindle 30 also carried by the frame 8. When the axis of the gears 42, 43 is in line with the shafts 5, 6, and the frame 8 revolves, the motion of the gear 25 is necessarily zero, corresponding exactly with the motion of the fixed gear 14. As the axis of the gears 42, 43 is gradually moved into more and more eccentric positions, the gear 25 is driven at a graduallyincreasing speed. For this purpose a spindle 39 carrying the bevel-train 42, 48, 43 is carried upon arms 37, 38 extending from wheels 35, 36 which are loose on the spindles 29, 20, respectively, and are equal in size to the planetary wheels 31 &c. The position of the spindle 39 is controlled externally in the following manner. The wheels 35, 36 are connected through loose central gears 16, 27 and other gearing 51, 52, &c. to a spindle 59, Fig. 1, and thence through a radial spindle 63 to a pin-wheel 67. The wheel 67 is adapted to be engaged and driven alternatively by oppositely-acting spiral threads upon non-rotary disks 22, 23 upon a sliding sleeve 20. The gear 48 is kept from turning end-over - end by a trailer 46 engaged by a circular raceway 12 carried by the frame 8.
