Abstract: 11,177. Haddan, H. J., [Polyphos Elektrizitõts-Ges.]. May 13. R÷ntgen-ray and like apparatus.-In an apparatus for holding bodies to be subjected to R÷ntgen rays, the material k, Fig. 1, is pressed by hand and the lower of two rigidly connected rings d, f is brought in contact with it when compressed. The setscrews i, l are then fixed, the former preventing motion at the ball-and-socket joints shown connecting the upper ring d to the arms c, and the latter preventing both pivotal motion of the arms c about the sleeves b and sliding motion of the sleeves b on the standards a. The use of universal joints for connecting the upper ring d with the bars c obviates the necessity of set-screws there. The arms c may alternatively be connected to the pillars a as shown in Fig. 7. On the pillar a is a slidable ring u, carrying an axle t bearing two rotatable clamping-members r, s, between which the arm c is held fast by turning the nut w by its handle H. A ring v outside the ring u also surrounds the pillar and serves as an abutment for the piece r, so that clamping of the pillar occurs simultaneously with the clamping of the arm c. The parts r, s may be forced apart by springs y on unclamping. When the ball-and-socket joints are used to carry the ring d, and the clamp shown in Fig. 7 is also used, it is stated that the screws may be joined in pairs to be operated together.

Abstract: 1164. Pecher, H. Jan. 16. Coating bakers' and confectioners' goods.-A machine for coating biscuits &c. comprises a drum 1 dipping into an icing-tank 2, and carrying a number of endless threads 3, which pass over a grooved roller 19 and over a series of grooved wheels 4. The biscuits are placed on a table 6 and pushed by a slide 7 on to an adjustable table 8, from which they are pushed on to the drum 1 by a slide 12. The coated biscuits are carried by the threads 3 to a rake 24, which revolves through 180 degrees on a spindle 25 and transfers the biscuits with their coated sides upwards to a conveyer 32. To ensure effective coating of the biscuits, a small reservoir for the icing &c. is formed between the surface of the drum 1 and the bevelled end of an adjustable inclined board 17. In a modification the biscuits are fed directly on to the drum, and one or more small drums placed below the threads and in contact with the drum 1 impart additional icing to the biscuits. In another form a continuous band passes round the drum 1 and a roller, and is fed with icing by another drum dipping in the icing; the threads 3 pass over this band and carry the coated biscuits to the discharging- rake. In another form, a small band is placed below the threads and in contact with the drum, and moves in the same direction as the biscuits, to which it imparts additional icing; the biscuits are detached from the band by an oscillating rake which lifts them and lowers them on to the threads. In another form, a small endless band placed below the threads and in contact with the drum 1 travels more slowly than the drum or threads and imparts additional icing to the biscuits by a rubbing action.
