Abstract: 2621. Timpany, J. C. Feb. 1. Driving-mechanism.-In gearing for driving a rotary churn by means of an oscillating handle, the handle is connected to the gearing by an adjustable attachment so that the length of the stroke and the position of the handle can be regulated. The churn 1 is driven by cranks 5 connected by links 6 to other cranks 7, which are connected to a bow lever 12 by the arrangement shown in Fig. 3. The arms of the lever 12 pass through eye-bolts 10, the stems of which pass through the spindles 9 of the cranks 7. The bolts 7 hold the lever 12 against yoke-pieces 13, which are serrated, as shown in Fig. 6, to engage with the ends of the spindles 9. By sliding the lever 12 through the bolts 10 and adjusting the yoke-pieces 10 on the spindles 9, the adjustment can be effected. The churn can be locked in various positions by means of a pin 14 passing through a hole in the crank 7 and one of a series of holes in the bracket 8 in which the spindle 9 is mounted.

Title: Automatic Mechanism for Fire Arms.
Inventor: MARTINEZ-SILVA LUIS
IPC: F41A5/32
Filed: 1912-04-04
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 8247. Silva, L. Martinez-. April 4. [Addition to 2958/12.] Breech actions, sliding breech-block.-Relates to gas-operated guns of the kind described in the parent Specification in which, on the discharge of the gun, opening and closing springs are simultaneously compressed by separate pistons, whereby the breech action is operated after the pressure in the barrel has fallen. The present invention consists in making the pistons tubular, and in other detail modifications. After the discharge, two tubular pistons 146, 147, Fig. 12, which slide in annular spaces formed between cylinders 139,140 and a central tube 141, 142 are forced opposite ways and compress closing and opening springs 148, 153. The rear piston 147 is then held by a catch 167 fixed to the breech casing, and the front piston 146 is engaged by a catch 1.58 carried by the central tube 141, 142, which is connected by a rod 187 to the breech slide. The forward portion 141 of the central tube is of larger diameter than the rear portion, and the gases, acting on a shoulder 166, tend to keep the tube forward. As soon as the pressure in the barrel has dropped, the spring 148 forces the piston 146 and the central tube rearwards, thereby opening the breech. The two catches 158, 167 are then released, and the spring 153 closes the breech and returns the parts to their normal position.

Abstract: 10,338. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. May 1. Casting processes. - In joining tungsten to copper, the copper is purified to remove occluded gases and prevent oxidation of the tungsten and melted or cast in contact with the tungsten. The copper may be first purified by methods as described in Specifications 25,031/10 and 12,920/11, [both in Class 82(i), Metals, Extracting &c.], and then cast in contact with the tungsten, or the purification and coating may take place in one operation, the boron compound which is used for purification, as described in the Specifications referred to, being placed with the tungsten in a crucible and solid copper added, the temperature being raised several hundred degrees in excess of the melting-point of copper. Air may be excluded during the process. In a modification the copper is heated in contact with the tungsten, preferably to a temperature about 1400‹ C. in a vacuum, such as a vacuum furnace described in Specification 20,809/04, [Class 39 (iii), Electric lamps &c.]. According to the Provisional Specification, the boron may be used in the form of elemental boron, boron suboxide, or boron carbide. The boron sub-oxide is stated to be the product of the reduction of boric anhydride with magnesium at a temperature of 1300‹ C. or higher, the residue left after washing with sulphuric acid being a brown powder.

Abstract: 26,117. Silcock, W. A. J., and Ratcliff, W. D. Nov. 14. Coating-machines.-In a machine for coating sheets with gum, glue, varnish, &c., the sheets are fed to grippers on a rotating cylinder J and are coated by a roller H which is lifted to contact with the sheets during their passage, and is lowered, after the sheet has passed, to prevent gum &c. from being applied to the cylinder. The movements of the gumming- roller are brought about by levers D, E, F operated by a cam on the shaft of the cylinder J. The cam is adjustable according to the length of the sheet to be pasted, either by forming it in two parts A, B, Fig. 1, one of which is adjustable by a screw C, or by arranging the cam b<1>, Fig. 2, so as to be movable on a disk a<1> and held by a pin-andslot connexion. In the latter case, part of the travel of the gumming-rollers in the raised position takes place over the usual gap in the cylinder for attachment of the grippers.

Abstract: 4485. Jefcoate, H. J. Feb. 21. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains.-Modifications of the apparatus described in Specification 2109/02 comprise the mounting of the track contacts overhead with a protective housing and a detailed construction of the ' danger ' verticallysliding engine contact. The track contacts A, B, Fig. 3, comprise long bars mounted on links on the cross girders 5 of a light girder gantry, and have a protective housing 9. The contacts A, B, giving ' safety ' and ' danger ' indications respectively, are interconnected to balance one another by a double-armed crank device 11, 12, Fig. 4. The ' danger ' bar B is slightly the heavier, so that in case of breakage of the operating connexions, the ' danger ' indication is given. The engine apparatus, which is of the kind described in the above-mentioned Specification, has three contacts 1, 2, 3, Fig. 3, of which the two 1, 2 are operative for safety ' and ' danger ' indications at ' distant' signals. Additional track contacts may be employed at ' home ' signals to operate the contacts 2, 3 to give ' danger ' and ' safety ' indications. A particular construction of the ' danger ' contact 2 is shown in Figs. 6 and 7, in which the roller 2<a> engaging the track contact is carried by a cylindrical plunger 2 sliding in a casing 24. Balls 26 fit in grooves 27, 28 in the plunger 2 and the casing 24 to form an antifriction bearing, and a spring 29 restores the plunger after operation. Electric contacts 30 are normally in contact with an insulating-portion 30<a> of the plunger, but are connected on depression of the plunger by the portion 2<b>. The engine circuit thus made operates the engine indicating - apparatus. A roller 22 on the plunger operates the whistle and brake apparatus, such as is described in Specification 6951/11, by depressing a cable connexion 23. If the train passes a ' danger ' signal at high speed, the ' danger plunger is depressed and held in the depressed condition by a catch 32, Fig. 7, the releasing handle 33 of which can preferably only be operated from outside the cab of the locomotive. The semaphores may be mounted on posts supported on the gantry.

When no more particles are raised, the velocity of the stream is increased and the operation repeated to obtain successive products from the sample, the products being afterwards dried and weighed. Curves based on the size of the particles kept floating and the velocity of the stream may be plotted if desired, and the results may be applied to the regulation of the water supplies of coal or ore washing plant.
