Granted: 1913-03-20
Abstract: 7336. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Kieffer, E. O. March 26. Direct explosion apparatus. - In apparatus for raising liquids or compressing gases of the type in which a column of liquid is expelled from a combustion chamber by the energy of explosion of a combustible charge, the air or other gaseous fluid entering such chamber is given a circling motion in a substantially horizontal direction in order to keep such fluid as far as possible separate from the other gaseous contents of the chamber. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the air-inlet valves 3 are placed in recesses 4 in the combustionchamber walls from which entry passages 5 lead tangentially into the combustion chamber so as to impart a rotary motion to the air as indicated by the arrows. It is possible with this arrangement to introduce the air or gases at a high velocity, and such velocity may be determined by the shape and size of the entry passages. Specification 11,527/11 is referred to.

Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 8603. Smith, W. R., and Larkin, J. D. April 11. Drawings to Specification. Impregnating - compositions. - Leather is rendered durable, waterproof, and non-slipping by impregnation with a hot mixture of a solid bitumen possessing at normal temperatures an elasticity comparable with that of elaterite and a bitumen, such as ozokerit, which when fused, has high penetrative properties. Elaterite when used as the elastic material must be in a form which is soluble in liquefied ozokerit or an equivalent paraffin. It may be brought to this condition by being gradually added to an asphalt, such as gilsonite, giving the substance known as kapak.' The impregnation is preferably effected by treating the leather, in the form of cut pieces, such as boot soles, in a steam jacketed tumbling-barrel.
Patent GB-191210366-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Clutches and Driving Mechanisms particularly adapted as Slow Motion Gears for the Operation of Starting Devices for Electric Motors.
IPC: F16D27/00
Filed: 1912-05-01
Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 10,366. Woolliscroft, J. H., and Boothroyd, Ltd., H. T. May 1. Clutches. - Relates to electro-magneticallyoperated clutches specially applicable for use with electric motor starters as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The handle 1 is connected by a pin clutch 3 to a shaft 2. The clutch is normally disengaged by springs 6, and is engaged by pushing in the handle 1. The shaft 2 carries a worm 7 gearing with a worm wheel 8 or some similar driving device which is loose on a wheel 10 containing a no-voltage release coil 13 which is wound round the spindle 14 of the wheel 10 to which is secured the contact arm 11 or other driven part. When the coil is energized, the pole-piece 40 attracts an armature lever 15 which is connected by a link 18 to a pivoted clutch pawl 19, so that this latter is moved into engagement with teeth 9 on the wheel 8. In the modification shown in Fig. 8, the armature lever 49 and the link move in a plane at right-angles to the clutch pawl. In the form shown in Fig. 4, an armature lever 42 engages the ends of pivoted pawls 41 and moves them into and out of engagement with the clutch teeth. The handle 1 is formed with some form of slipping clutch to prevent damage if the handle is turned violently. This may be dispensed with if the forms of clutch shown in Figs. 6 or 9 are employed. In Fig. 6 the coil directly operates an arm 49 provided with rounded projections 48 engaging similar holes 50 in the worm-wheel. In Fig. 9, balls 54 are employed in a similar manner. Fig. 3 shows the connexions employed in a motor starter for a shunt-wound motor, 20, 21 indicating the mains, 24 the field, 23 the armature, 25 the resistance, and 29 the overload release coil. The clutch 3 carries a conducting strip 26 which normally short-circuits the no-voltage clutch coil 13. When the handle 1 is pressed in, the circuit is broken, and the clutch coil is energized, so that when the handle is turned the contact arm 11 moves over the resistance contacts 12 against the action of the spring 34. Failure of the voltage disengages the clutch and releases the arm 11 which returns to normal. At the ' full-on ' position, an insulated projection 35 on the arm breaks a contact 31, so that when the handle 1 is released the coil 13 is not short-circuited. The overload release coil 29 attracts an armature 36 which bridges contacts 38, 39 and short-circuits the coil 13. To switch off the motor, a main switch 22 may be used, or a push-button may be employed to operate the armature 36.

Abstract: 11,669. McVittie, R. B. May 16. Leakage, preventing; staircases; hatches.- All openings in ships' decks are provided with means for closing them in a water-tight manner so that each of the lowermost decks may serve as another bottom to the ship. The invention is described with reference to staircases and lift wells. The stairways a<3> are hinged to the deck a and are constructed with steps a<4> as air-tight chambers a<5>, and an additional chamber or float a<6> is provided at the back of the steps a<4>. The lower end a<7> drops into a recess into the lower deck a<2>. A curved guide b, with which rollers b<1> engage, ensures the staircase rising so as to engage properly with the opening in the upper deck, even if the ship be pitching and rolling. A projecting rib b<3> at the top step engages a recess b<4> and makes a water-tight joint. Pivoted clips c<1> retain the staircase in its raised position. The entry of water above the lower deck a<3> raises the staircase to close the opening. Lift wells in the ship are fitted with doors similarly constructed and normally held open by catches provided with floats, which release the doors upon the entry of water, allowing the doors to close the openings of the lift wells.

Title: Improvements in Mechanism for Intermittently Feeding a Long Rod or Strip to Machines.
Inventor: WALLACE JOHN THOMAS
IPC: B23Q7/04
Filed: 1912-06-26
Granted: 1913-06-05
Abstract: 14,928. Wallace, J. T. Aug. 5, 1911, [Convention date]. Feeding webs.-A number of rods or strips are fed to a rivet or bolt making or other machine by a device which allows of different lengths being fed at the same time. A number of levers F are mounted on a shaft E which is rotated to move the levers to the left by a cam on the main shaft and returned by a spring until the levers strike stops 36. The levers engage slides D by means of a fixed stop 15 and an adjustable stop 18, thus varying the lost motion and hence the stroke of the slide. Each slide can be adjusted separately and carries a spring-pressed gripper 1 having a removable jaw 19. The lever F consists of two parts 25, 28 pivoted at 29 so as to fold in one direction but retained normally in a straight line by the spring 32. To allow for wear, the throw of the actuating-cam is made larger than required so that the lever F yields at the end of each forward stroke and whenever blockage occurs. Any feed carriage may also be locked without stopping the feed as a whole. This is done by turning the gripper 1 against the action of a spring and retaining it in the position shown in Fig. 7 by a catch 42 so that the pawl 38 carried by the gripper engages a fixed rack 39. A stationary gripper 3 prevents backward movement of the work. If a sheet is fed, flat jaws 47, Fig. 6, are used.

Title: Improvements in Work Supports for Machines for Inserting Fasteners.
Inventor: COUPAL PETER AMABLE
IPC: A43D71/02
Filed: 1912-02-27
Granted: 1913-02-20
Abstract: 27,443. Coupal, P. A. Feb. 27. Work-supports.-The vertically-movable horn 12 of a nailing, stapling, or similar machine is constantly held upwards, to press the work lightly against a work-plate 11, by a light extension spring 21, which is attached at one end to a collar fixed to a horn-operating rod 18 and at its other end to a collar 23 loose on the rod 18 and held stationary by a catch 24. The spring 21 is intermittently aided by a strong compression spring 28 attached at its lower end to a collar 29 secured to the rod 18 and at its upper end to a sliding collar 30, the upward movement of which is limited by a fixed collar 31. The spring is periodically compressed, to increase the upward pressure on the work during the operation of the awl and the nailing- means, by a cam 46 on a shaft 10, which is adapted through a rod 40 and a pawl-carrier 35 to move a pawl 33 downwards, the pawl being arranged to engage with a rack 32 on the sliding collar 30. The position of the collar before the downward movement of the pawl, which is then held from the rack by a shield 36, varies according to the thickness of the work, the rod 18 and the stop 31 being raised when thick work is between the horn and the plate 11. A constant compression is thus impressed on the spring 28 when the pawl is in its lowest position, and so a constant pressure is applied to the work during the nailing and like operations notwithstanding variations in the thickness of the work. Specification 4919/12 is referred to.
