Abstract: 23,066. Wulffing, J., Smith, P. W., and Aerial Transit, Ltd. March 26. Aerial machines with aerostats; a e r o s t a t s ; planes, arrangement of.- A rigid aerostat is provided with a car a and platforms 8 on which a series of fixed and adjustable propellers are placed at different levels so as to be out of line with each other. Fixed vertical and horizontal stability planes 22 are mounted on the end of the aerostat and carry almost or quite circular elevators and rudders 23. Elevators and rudders are also mounted before or behind the fixed propellers. A lift i is arranged in the car. Propelling and steering; planes, construction of.-The propellers are arranged at different levels and in staggered relationship, more propellers being placed on the front than on the rear platform 8. The propellers and their motors at the extreme bow and stern are adapted to be moved universally for steering, and the end motors of the various rows may be similarly mounted. Each motor is carried by a frame 10, Fig. 12, capable of being moved about a vertical axis by turning it about a ring 12 supported by cords 13 from the aerostat. A circular frame 15 carrying the motor and propeller is pivotally mounted in a guide 16 so that the propeller may be adjusted in a vertical plane through cords 19. The frames 10, 15 and the segment 16 turn in a guide 17 to adjust the propeller in an horizontal plane through cords 18. Arranged either in front of, or behind, or both in front of and behind the fixed propellers, are elevators and rudders 20, cut away as shown so as not to interfere with one another. The circular or almost circular rudders and elevators 23, mounted at the rear of the aerostat, are pivoted about axes slightly in advance of their centres; they are constructed of hoops and nets covered with fabric.

Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 28,456. Hunt, A. Dec. 10. [Cognate Application, 10,347/13.] Rolling-machines.-In dough moulding machines of the type having a vertical rotary drum surrounded by a sectional helical moulding- trough, the trough is so formed that the size and shape thereof may be altered to suit different classes or sizes of work. The trough is made of interchangeable sections 8 which are supported upon a helical plate 9 and secured by bolts or screws 10. To render the drum 1 and trough accessible for cleaning purposes, the plate 9 is also made in sections corresponding to the trough sections, such sections being hinged by bosses 13 to the pillars 4 so that they can be swung outwards. Catches 14 pivoted to the bosses 13 and operated by handles 12 secure the sections in closed position, alinement of adjacent sections being secured by a pin on a shoulder 15 engaging a recess in a shoulder formed on the adjacent end of the next section. To adjust the trough relatively to the drum, the bosses 13 are mounted on eccentric sleeves 17, Fig. 5, which can be turned relatively to the pillar 4 and locked by screws 18. The crosssection of the moulding trough may be varied from the form shown in Fig. 7 at the entrance to the form shown in Fig. 8 at the exit so as to vary the working on the dough ; as shown, the overhanging portion 19 is gradually reduced towards the exit, so that the double twisting produced at the entrance is gradually lessened until the motion becomes a plain rolling near the exit. According to the Provisional Specifications, the trough sections may be adjustably arranged upon the helical supporting-plate.

Abstract: 10,460. Bloxam, A. G., [Oesterreichische Siemens-Schuckertwerke and Regal Patente-Ges.]. May 3. Jacquards. - In an electric jacquard, shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1, for use in looms or in machines for producing jacquard cards, a number of readers d, electrically connected to contact-bars e, move over a pattern cylinder a, which comprises conducting parts and insulating parts and is connected with a battery B'. Brushes i, moving synchronously with the readers d, connect the bars e successively with the contact-pieces k of electro-magnets h, which are connected, through selector bars m, n, to the contacts of a switch o arranged to determine the binding in the figure. The ground binding is determined by a switch p connected, through a battery B<2>, with a contact-bar g, on which bear brushes l moving over the contact-pieces k in unison with the brushes i. The magnets h are divided into groups, each group, together with the corresponding contacts k and, if desired, also the corresponding brushes l, i and selector bars m, n, being arranged in a frame so as to form a unit which may be quickly replaced by a reserve unit, if damaged. The separate parts of each unit are arranged so as to be readily accessible. Each group may contain the electro-magnets &c. corresponding to one of the readers d, or it may contain a number of electro-magnets corresponding with the number of jacquard needles, say four hundred, usually grouped together in a jacquard. The individual contacts k and the electro-magnets h in each unit are arranged so that they may be readily removed. The winding of each magnet is connected in parallel with a bifilar winding u, Fig. 4, to prevent sparking. A spring clamp v prevents shock and recoil of the armature. Fig. 3. The brushes l, i, Fig. 1, are carried by a frame 4, Fig. 6, reciprocated by a camactuated lever 5, which also rocks a lever 12 arranged to reciprocate the readers d. The switches o, p, Fig. 1, comprise pivoted contactplates o<1>, p', Fig. 9, adapted to be turned by pattern rollers 18 so that they bear against spring contacts 20. 'The rollers for the two switches are respectively mounted on alternate pins 1 of a single intermittently-moving chain. The speed of the pattern cylinder a, Fig. 1, is made adjustable relatively to the speed of the chain-wheel 19, Fig. 9, by means of an adjustable friction-wheel 16, Fig. 7, engaging a friction-disk 14 secured to the spindle of the wheel 19, the wheel 16 having pins 17 adapted to engage depressions 15 in the disk 14 so as to prevent slip.

Cartridge belts,filling and emptying. Consists in a belt-filling machine which, by the reversal of the feed-wheels and alteration of the cartridge pushers, is convertible into a beltemptying machine. The belt is fed forwards by two wheels K I, K II, the teeth of which are shaped to fit around the cartridges, and which are rotated step by step by a pawl b engaging a ratchet-wheel R on the shaft of one of the feed-wheels. The pusher L is reciprocated by a rack H operated by a toothed segment on the lower end of the pawl shaft s, and returned by a spring o. The conversion of the machine, for emptying belts, is made by removing the feedwheels from their shafts and turning them about so that the full belt is fed through the machine with the bullet ends of the cartridges presented to the pusher. A special pusher may be used, of greater length than the pusher L, or this may be elongated. If the feed-wheels are not turned about, the machine may be run backwards, and the cartridges withdrawn from the belt by tongues or a hook on the pusher.
