Granted: 1910-05-26
Abstract: 2268. Perry, C. L., [Sachsische Kartonnagen- Maschinen-Akt.-Ges.]. Jan. 29. B e n d i n g.-A machine for bending leatherboard, pasteboard, &c., of the kind described in Specifications 12,043/92 and 23,735/92 is constructed so as to be capable of readily operating on boards of different thicknesses by regulating the distance between the edges of the clamping- jaws in their depressed position and the surface of the bending hinge bars. As shown, the bending-bars s are supported by a bed b mounted on adjustable springs f, and in the bridge-piece w, which carries the bending-jaws o, are arranged adjustable bolts a which contact with the bed b and so keep the jaws o and bars s from contacting, if no material is being bent, but material placed on the bars s is bent by the actions of the jaws o and bars s. The heads of the bolts a are square to facilitate adjustment, and the extent of .adjustment is indicated by means of graduated rings r splined to the bolts ; lock-nuts g hold the bolts in their adjusted positions.

Abstract: 19,340. Johnson, G. W., [Kalle & Co.]. Aug. 17. Acenaphthene derivatives.-A product apparently isomeric with acenaphthenequinonemonoxime is obtained by removing by means of alkali sulphites the monoxime from the product obtained by the action of esters of nitrous acid on acenaphthene. This product when reduced gives a reduction product identical with that obtained by reduction of the monoxime. Suitable reducing - agents are formic acid, oxalic acid, sodium bisulphite, zinc or iron and acetic acid, or zinc and ammonium chloride. Indigoid and thioindigo dyes.-Vat dyes are obtained by condensing the reduction product of the above-described body, or the reduction product of the raw material obtained by the action of nitrous esters on acenaphthene, with indoxyl, oxythionaphthene, or their carboxylic acids, or derivatives. The reduction and condensation may be effected in one operation. Under suitable conditions, leuco compounds are obtained. Specifications 16,907/06, 344/08, and 12,810/08 are referred to. Naphthalic acid anhydride is obtained by treating the above-described acenaphthene derivative with saponifying-agents, such as strong sulphuric acid.

Abstract: 30,036. Pierpont, F. H., and Lanston Monotype Corporation. Dec. 24. Strip - perforating machines.-The strip-perforating machine described in Specification 17,199/08 is modified to produce a record strip which controls the operation of the casting- machine so that spaced-type matter is produced by the addition of a predetermined amount to one side of the type body as cast. The unitsrack is provided with an adjustable end stop which is operated to record the extra body width of the spaced type simultaneously with means for producing the spaced-type signals. The spaced-type signals are produced by the simultaneous operation of the justification and character punches. The end stop 28 for the units-rack 25 is carried by a block H mounted to slide in a guide H<2> and operated through an arm H<3> by a lever L. The stems J, J<1> of the justification punches are provided with collars j, j<1>, and a bar K having cut-away parts k, k<1> is mounted in front of the valve stems on a sliding rod K<1>. In one position of the bar K<1>, the cut-away parts k, k<1> are opposite the collars j, j<1>, and the valve stems are missed when the bar K is turned by the operation of a character punch. When the lever L is depressed, the bar K is moved longitudinally and brings solid parts opposite the collars j, j<1> and the justification punches are operated simultaneously with the character punches, thus producing a spaced-type signal.

Means for tensioning the diaphragm and stylus are also provided. The fixed sound-box g has its diaphragm h connected by a loop h<2> with hook i<1> on the transmitter bar i, which is made of bass wood and supports at its other end the stylus k. Co-axially with the diaphragm h is pivoted on a vertical axis l<1> by means of horizontal screws m<1>, to provide universal motion, a rod m having a forked end m<2> carrying a metal strap n to surround and support the transmitter bar i. Packing is interposed between the strap n and the bar i, and the strap n is supported on adjustable screws q between springs r, s to prevent the stylus vibrations being transmitted to the bar m. The springs r, s are arranged to press upon the sides of the strap n to tilt it towards the diaphragm. A spring p is adapted to be engaged at different points on a rod o connected at right-angles to the rod m, to vary the pressure of the stylus k on the disk record f and to vary the tension on the diaphragm h through the bar i. The sound exit tube g' is joined by a U-tube with a trumpet within the cabinet. In a modified form, adapted for use with cylinder records, an additional spring is provided to act directly upon the diaphragm to vary the tension of the latter independently of the pressure of the stylus on the record.

Abstract: 5677. Hind, J. A. March 7. Dividing - engines. - The dividing-head of a machine for cutting scales on circles comprises a micrometer head d divided in hundredths and secured on the spindle b geared with the actual toolholder, which is designed to rotate at the same rate as the revolution-counter g.

Tyre and like inflating valves.-A combined inflating and over-pressure relief valve for pneumatic tyres comprises a check'valve I carried in a sleeve A which is moved axially upwards by excessive tyre pressure against the action of a spring E thereby forcing the end of the valve spindle against a deflating - rod H. This rod then rises with the sleeve and valve until, if the pressure is sufficiently in excess, the conical head H<1> abuts against the top of the cap L whereupon the valve I is thrust off its seat and the over - pressure escapes along the grooved valve - spindle and the rod H and out by the holes M, O. A disk J and spring K are interposed between the conical head H<1> and the top of the cap L. A soft packing C is placed round the sleeve A between metal packings B, D; the latter may be of different lengths to provide for the correct compression of the spring E to suit various pressures within the tyre. The tyre is inflated in the ordinary way after the caps P, G have been removed.
