Granted: 1911-05-15
Abstract: 11,995. Sykes, E. May 14. Spindle - driving apparatus; stop apparatus, non - automatic. - The spindles of high-speed spinning or twisting machines are driven by pairs of skew-bevel or helically -toothed gears, one gear in each pair being composed of compressed fibre or composition, and the other preferably of metal; both gears may, however, be composed of compressed fibre or composition. The driving-shaft 2 carries a sleeve 6 on which is slidably mounted a clutch member 5 normally pressed by a spring 9 to engage a clutch member 4 fixed to a sleeve 3 loosely mounted on the shaft 2 and carrying the helically-toothed gear 7, which meshes with a similar gear 8 fixed on the spindle 1. A groove 5<1> in the member 5 is engaged by a pin 11 on an arm 12<1> on a rotatable shaft 12 journaled in a bracket 13 and connected by levers and a link to a footpedal 17. By depressing the pedal, the shaft 12 is rotated, and the clutch member 5 drawn out of engagement with the member 4 to stop the spindle.

Title: Process for the Preparation of Ammonium Sulphite or Sulphate from Gases.
Inventor: BURKHEISER KARL
IPC: C01C1/22
Filed: 1910-07-02
Granted: 1911-06-29
Abstract: 15,877. Burkheiser, K. July 2, 1909, [Convention date]. Ammonium sulphate and sulphite are pro. duced by bringing distillation gases from coke ovens &c. containing ammonia and the products of the combustion of the said gases containing sulphurous acid alternately into contact with the same washing liquid, the solid salt being continuously rem o v e d. Distillation gases from the retorts 10 pass from the hydraulic main 11 to a cooler 12 from which they are forced by a pump 16 through a tarseparator 17 to a saturator 18 from which they are returned by a pipe 20 to be burnt in the furnace or for heating boilers. The liquor from the cooler 12 and the separator 17 passes to a tank 13, from which the tar is passed to a tank 14 and the ammoniacal liquor to a tank 15. The salt from the saturator is drawn off by a pipe 19 to a centrifugal drier 28, the liquid passing to a tank 26, which also receives the liquor from the tank 15. The products of combustion of the coke-oven gas from the furnace and boilers are cooled to a suitable temperature not below their dew-point in coolers 23, 24, and are then scrubbed in a tower 25 with the liquor from the tank 26, the wash liquor which collects in a tank 27 being returned to the saturator 18. The liquor from the tank 15, instead of being led to the tank 26, may be distilled, the vapour being led to the tower 25 and mixed with the combustion gas therein. Specification 21,763/08 is referred to. The Specification, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), states that if the sulphur in the gas is not sufficient for the process, it may be made up or replaced by the combustion of sulphur and sulphur compounds, and that the process may be applied in all cases in which gases containing sulphurous acid and ammonia respectively are available. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 28,646. Giusti, T., and Pinoli, C. Dec. 9. Plates, dishes, and the like, washing.-In machines for washing culinary utensils, of the type in which the articles are passed between a number of rotary brushes, the articles are fed between brushes rotating in opposite directions at different peripheral speeds, and are carried forward by the rotation of the brushes until they are delivered to a conveyer which passes them into a rinsing-tank. In the machine illustrated, the articles are delivered to a perforated tray B which is raised and lowered by the pedal C in a compartment separated from the main washing- tank by a grid A<4>. Afterwards, they are delivered between fixed brushes J to circular brushes, rotating in the directions indicated, which pass them on to the conveyer F delivering through the slot H<1> in the wall of the rinsing- tank. A shoot N or pivoted flap O may be used to break the force of the discharge. Bridgepieces or fixed brushes L, L' prevent the articles from falling. A stationary brush K is used to retard the passage of the articles between the rotary brushes. A perforated tray H<2> is fitted to the rinsing - compartment, and a sieve or basket M<1> together with a sliding valve M<2> in the washing-compartment.

Title: New or Improved Apparatus for Sorting Coins.
Inventor: CHIGER SIEGMUND
Filed: 1911-12-02
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 27,031. Chiger, S. Dec. 2. Coins and the like, separating and sorting.- Coins &c. are separated according to diameter and thickness by passage over two superimposed ways, one having openings of different widths and the other openings of different heights. Coins from the hopper 1 pass into a tube 2 through an opening 3 controlled by a slide 4 operated from a cam 5 through a spring-controlled lever 6. The lowest coin in the tube 2 is pushed out by a cam-operated pusher 8, under a spring 43, to fall through one of the differentsized openings 11, 12 into tubes 13. The lowest coin in a tube 13 is pushed out bf a slide 14 operated from a cam 17 on to a plate 19 provided with extensions 20, the distance between which increases in steps. The extensions 20 have leaf-springs 23 to keep the coins central. Above and below the plates are endless bands 27, 32 carrying projections 28, 35 which serve to advance the coins, the projections passing through slot in upper and lower plates 24, 30. The plate 24 carries springs 29 so that a coin which fits the space between the extensions 20 is pressed downwards between them. On one side of the space between the extensions 20, at different points, are placed springs inclined across the space to force coins into side recesses 37, 38, the latter being of greater height to accommodate coins of greater thickness. Oblique cross-bars may take the place of springs, and both allow coins of certain thickness to pass thereunder. Openings 42 in the plate 30 receive the coins conveyed without deflexion. Counting-pawls may be placed at each opening, and printing-mechanisms may be connected.

Granted: 1912-06-20
Abstract: 1265. Sander, W., Volz, S., and Nippel, F. Jan. 16. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains. - Brakes are applied and audible or visual signals or registering apparatus actuated by the escaping air when a track contact 21 displaces the lever 16 so far as to remove the surface 17 from the lower end of the rod 10. The train-pipe pressure then forces the valve 3 in the cylinder 2 downwards and opens the port 5 to the signal-operating conduit 7 and to atmosphere port 9, if the screw 8 is withdrawn as shown. The port 5 is normally closed by the member 12 which is forced outwards by air pressure and by the spring 15. When the brake-pipe pressure is reduced sufficiently, the spring 20 resets the valve 3 and allows the lever 16 to return to normal position. A valve on the pipe 4 may be provided to enable the driver to reset the apparatus.
