Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 17,742. Curtis, A. H., and Adams, A. H. Aug. 7. Switches.-The contacts of a direct-pull solenoidcontrolled switch are constructed of flat copper or other springy material mounted on the movable arms at such an angle to the line of movement that large contact-surfaces are brought together with a rubbing action. The general shape is that of a truncated pyramid. The plunger b, Fig. 1, carries a thin cross-arm c, on which the movable contacts j, j<1> are mounted. The contact j is composed of a cross-shaped piece of metal f, Fig. 2, having the arms bent down to the position of g, g, Fig. 1, and is fastened with a screw h in the middle. The corresponding fixed contact l is made from a metal strip of the shape shown in Fig. 3, each arm of which is bent at right-angles at the inner dotted line and at an acute angle at the outer line. Instead of having both contacts of resilient construction, one may be solid, as j<1>, Fig. 1, which is composed of metal plates q screwed to a solid block. To prevent sparking and to save the light metal contacts, auxiliary carbon contacts x may be provided, the fixed pair being mounted on spring plungers w. A magnetic blow-out may also be fitted. In modifications shown in Fig. 4, one of the outside contacts s and one of the inside contacts t are made from solid blocks, and the inside contact m is composed of a number of separate pieces of metal u, bent, and secured by screws.

Granted: 1907-10-17
Abstract: 248. Smart, P. Jan. 4. Interlocking - apparatus.-A mechanical detector is actuated by the locking-bolt, which pushes a rod connected to a bell-crank and operates the detector blade. The locking- bolt B pushes the projection L on the bar M if the locking-bolt is in proper order; but if the bolt is damaged and the points are not properly locked, the bar M is not moved. The bar M moves the bellcrank P and the detector blade Q which passes through a box R. The bar S in the run of the signal wire carries a projection which enters a hole in the detector blade. The backward movement of the locking- bolt serves to move the bell-crank P back to its original position by the engagement of the projection W with the stud X.

Title: Improvements in Fiber Preparing Machines
Inventor: ZABRISKIE ALBERT
Filed: 1907-10-01
Granted: 1908-06-25
Abstract: 21,713. Zabriskie, A. Oct. 1. Scutching-apparatus.-Relates to scutching-machines of the type in which each end of coarse grasses, such as sizal or agave, is successively gripped, while the other end is scutched by rotary scutching-drums, the leaves being transferred from one gripping-device to the other by a diagonal belt. A rotary disk 99 is provided to support the scutched ends of the leaves, and to assist their delivery to the grip chains 21 from the chains 20. The scutching shoe or breast is located relatively to the chains as to prevent the leaf from contacting with its upper edge, and is shaped to recede gradually from the path of the scutching-blade, as shown in Fig. 4, to ensure the gradual treatment of the leaf. The shoes are adjusted vertically by means of a wedge, and horizontally by the usual means comprising a screw 101, and are provided with a strut 104 which steadies them during scutching. The top chains are driven by sprockets from a worm-wheel 60, and frictionally drive the bottom chains which are mounted on friction rollers. The leaves are fed to the machine by travelling aprons 18, 180, and are led by belts 84, 85 to the grip chains 20, from which they are transmitted to the chains 21 by a diagonal belt 95, the disk 99 and a projection 112 assisting the scutched ends of the leaves.

Abstract: 22,403. Salomonsohn, G. Oct. 12, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Pocket spirit-lamps; torches.-A box b, Fig. 4, containing wad or fibrous or porous material saturated with an inflammable fluid, such as methyl alcohol, is provided with a side pocket r containing a catalytic igniter for igniting the alcohol vapours, which are then utilized for igniting a pocket lamp, gas, cigars, or other inflammable material. The box has a spring-hinged lid normally held in the closed position by a spring catch f, and an open frame z, carrying the catalytic agent, is hinged to a slide s working in the pocket r, so that, on the slide s being raised by means of a pin or knob k, a lug or shoulder t on the slide, by engaging a pin a, releases the spring catch f, the lid is thrown open, and the frame z simultaneously falls by its own weight, or by the action of a spring hinge, over the open end of the box. When the vapours are ignited, the frame and the slide may be returned to their protected position within the pocket r. A pocket lamp l, Fig. 6, may be combined with the igniter, and may be extinguished by a cap w.

Patent GB-190805338-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Presses for the Production of Artificial Stone Blocks and the like.
Inventor: DRAENERT JOHANNES
Filed: 1908-03-09
Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 5338. Draenert, J. March 9. Moulding artificial stone blocks.-Rotary mould table machines, of the type in which the moulds 3 are fitted with loose bottom plungers 4, are provided with means for supporting the plungers in their pressing and discharging positions, and for lowering them from their discharging to filling positions without shock. Fig. 4 shows part of a machine in which the plungers 4, when in the filling position, move along a fixed track 13 until they come, in turn, over a pressing-piston 8, by which they are acted upon to compress the material against an abutment 7. After compression, each plunger moves over a discharging-piston 9. The pistons 8, 9 operate simultaneously on two adjacent plungers, and to support the plungers in their raised positions, a movable truck 12 is oscillated by means of a crank and connecting - rod and brought beneath the plungers, the pistons 8, 9 being cut away to receive the track. On the withdrawal of the pistons 8, 9, the plungers rest upon the track 12, which on its return stroke positively engages with the table 1 by means of a pawl and moves it round, bringing the plunger 4 which was acted upon by the piston 8, over the piston 9, and maintaining the other plunger in its raised position to allow the discharged block to be removed. At the next movement of the track 12, the table 1 remains stationary and the track moves below the plungers as before. The end of the track 12 remote from the pistons 8, 9 is sloped gradually down to the level of the fixed track 13, so that after the pressed blocks have been discharged and removed, the plungers move down into the filling position gradually and without shock. The track 12, as shown in Fig. 4, is supported upon rollers 11. When the material is of a very moist character, to prevent clogging of the piston 8, this piston is not grooved to receive the track 12, bat the plungers are maintained in their raised position by means of a plate 21, Fig. 11, carried by a spider which supports the track 12 ; in this modification, the track 12 in its receiving portion moves only as far as the discharging-piston 9. Figs. 14 and 18 show modifications in which a single piston 8 is employed to raise the plungers both in their compressing and discharging positions, the piston being provided with an inclined extension 25 for this purpose.

Title: Improvements in Substitutes for Lithographic Stones.
Inventor: DAY EDWIN THOMAS
Filed: 1908-10-08
Granted: 1909-04-01
Abstract: 21,239. Day, E. T. Oct. 8. Stone, artificial.-Substitutes for lithographicstones are formed by treating a raw hide so as to give it the required hardness, porosity, and surface texture, the flexibility of the hide permitting it to be used for both rotary and flat-bed machines. The hide is treated so as (1) to fill it up with a substance insoluble in water to make it solid and to prevent swelling when in use, (2) to close its pores with a substance such as gelatin, (3) to harden it, and (4) to level and polish it. The filling is effected by steeping a dried unhaired bide in a saturated solution of barium chloride, drying, and again steeping in the solution. After natural drying, the hide is steeped in a dilute solution of sulphuric acid. The hide is next dried on a frame &c., and when dried is rubbed with sand or glass paper. It is then treated with a solution of gelatin, and hardened by means of formalin. After drying, the hide is again treated with glass paper, and levelled with a fine polishing-powder such as powdered glass. It may be treated again with gelatin and formalin. The hide may be steeped in barium carbonate and hydrate instead of in the chloride. A hide may be treated by any of the above described processes more than once.
