Granted: 1913-05-08
Abstract: 25,659. Wright, F., and Morton, W. A. Nov. 8. Clocks combined with savings-boxes.-An alarm clock 68, Fig. 2, is mounted in the upper part of a casing 10 above a money-box or savings-bank 20, and access can be had to the winding or setting key posts 75 of the clock or alarm mechanisms only after the insertion of a coin, which is discharged into the savings-bank. Normally a key cannot be applied to any of the posts 75 because apertures 111, 112 on a rack 108, Fig. 1, and apertures 122,124 on disks 120, 123 are not in alinement with apertures 80, 81, 78, 79 in a vertical partition 77. After insertion of a coin, a slide 92, Fig. 7, is depressed against the action of a spring 98 by means of an external knob, thereby rotating the disks 123, 120 and raising the rack 108 against the action of springs 115 so as to bring the apertures into alinement and permit the insertion of the key. A projection 99 on the slide enters a slot 125 in the disk 123 and maintains the parts in the displaced position until the knob is released. The inserted coin rests on the toothed portion of the disk 123, which projects into the coin shoot and is forced down by a projection 100 on the slide 92, thereby rotating the disk and withdrawing the toothed portion from the shoot, permitting the further descent of the coin. A pin 95 on the slide simultaneously presses down a spring-controlled flap, which normally closes an aperture 91 leading to the money box 20, permitting the entrance of the coin.

A series of die plungers 25, Fig. 2, may he arranged in a rotary carrier 24, the plungers being normally held in raised position by springs 27 and held against rotation by guide-pins 28. The work holder is carried on arbors 20 carried by a bar 18 of arcuate form and engaged in registering position by a spring pin 21. The work is carried on a support 62, Fig. 6, loosely mounted upon a ball or like protuberance upon an arbor 61.. A fixed jaw 64 is mounted at one end and a movable jaw 65 is pressed by a spring 65 into engagement with the work a, the holder thus adjusting itself to various sizes of work. Power hammers. - The hammer block 56, Fig. 5, is mounted in a casing 32 and carries a spring pawl 58 which normally engages a fixed washer 53. The casing 32 is pressed down by a hand-lever, and as the hammer block is held fixed by the washer, the spring 43 becomes compressed. A sleeve 52 carried inside the casing has a cam portion which acts upon a projection 59 on the pawl and pushes it into an opening in the washer 53 and allows the hammer to fall.

Abstract: 6548. Barabino, I. March 16, 1912, [Convention date]. Filtering.-In a vacuum cleaner, dust-laden air is discharged at 3 into a collecting-box 5. A straining surface 6 deflects the air against'the surface 7 of woollen fabric, and then the air impinges against surfaces 9 composed of horizontal walls and walls at 45 degrees before passing to the atmosphere through a removable covering of dry cloth over the opening in the collecting-box. All the strainers are kept constantly moistened by allowing water to drip through automatic devices connected to the tank 12. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also an arrangement of moistened brushes for filtering the air escaping to the atmosphere and a device for cutting- off the water dripping from the tank. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Means for Producing Coloured Images or Pictures in Relief.
Inventor: POMILIO CARLO
IPC: B05D5/06
Filed: 1913-04-16
Granted: 1914-02-05
Abstract: 8928. Pomilio, C. April 26, 1912, [Convention date]. Ornamenting.-Consists in producing coloured objects and designs in full relief, by applying pulverized material to a wire framework which is coated with adhesive. The powder is coloured before or after its application. The pulverized material may be sawdust, wood filings, cork powder, or the like, and may be deprived of its natural colour before use. The colours, which are preferably aniline dyes, are applied by dissolving them in alcohol to which an aqueous solution of phenol is then added. The powdered material is dipped in the warm solution, allowed to dry, and, if necessary, pressed to expel water. It may then be sorted into different degrees of fineness. Objects in full relief are formed on a frame or skeleton of thin iron wire which can be tangled and twisted to form trees &c., the wire serving also to fasten them to the supporting-surface. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the colour may be imparted by chemical reagents acting on the powder without the use of dyes. For pictures on flat surfaces, the outlines of the different coloured areas are marked on a sheet of paper or pasteboard, or a wood tablet, which is then covered with adhesive on which the coloured powder is spread. The work may be finished with a layer of glue or varnish. To give relief, a paste, such as gypsum or cement prepared with glue, may be applied to the surface before colouring. This subject - matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Filed: 1912-12-24
Granted: 1913-12-11
Abstract: 12,247. Miller, W. F. Dec. 24, 1912. Valveless pumps.-A fuel pump for internalcombustion engines is provided with a hollow plunger having inlet and outlet ports which register at the beginning and end of the stroke with corresponding ports in the pump cylinder, a body of air being compressed above the fuel during the intermediate portion of the stroke so as to eject the fuel with considerable force when the outlet ports are uncovered. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the hollow plunger 13 has inlet and outlet ports 21, 22 registering with ports 19, 20 in the pump cylinder 12. During the up-stroke of the plunger, air in the top end of the cylinder is compressed as soon as the ports 19, 21 are shut, and ejects the fuel through the ports 22, 20 as soon as these are in register at the end of the stroke. A slight vacuum is produced in the cylinder during the down-stroke, causing fresh fuel to be drawn in as soon as the ports 19, 21 come opposite each other. The ports 19, 21 may be inclined as shown in Figs. 4 and 5, and the amount of oil delivered may be regulated by means of a handle 28 connected to the plunger 13 by arms 27, 26 and adapted to vary the angular position of the plunger 13 so as to adjust the area of opening of the ports.

Abstract: 17,731. Plauson, H. Aug. 1. Carbon.-Pure finely-divided carbon is obtained from coal or wood charcoal by grinding it to a very fine powder, purifying by treatment first with sulphuric acid or a mixture of sulphuric and hydrochloric acid, washing with water, treating with nitric acid, again washing, treating with hydrofluoric acid, and again washing, traces of acid, if desired, being finally removed by means of alkali; the product is then brought into colloidal solution, preferably in water, by known methods, for example by means of tannin, by trituration at high speed or under great pressure, as described in Specification 17,729/13, [Class 50, Fuel, Manufacture of], or by the electric current; natural colloids such as gelatine, casein, indiarubber, albumens, &c. may be added to accelerate the process. The colloidal solution is allowed to settle and poured off, the residue being again treated as before; the carbon is then precipitated from the solution, for example by addition of acid or other electrolyte, and dried. It may further be heated in an atmosphere of hydrogen or nitrogen or in vacuo to carbonize any hydrocarbon present. The product is suitable for colouring purposes.
