Abstract: 3676. Grunbaum, E. Feb. 14, 1912, [Convention date]. Marking work for sewing.-For marking the position of button-holes on a pile of collar blanks, they are placed on a plate P provided with guides S, and the plate is then placed against guides R on a bed-plate A carrying the supports B for a cross-plate C, in which is mounted a shaft D carrying an eccentric D'. The eccentric works in the loop F of a plate E sliding on the supports B, and carrying, by means of springs B<1>, a bar G which has supports for as many pairs of needles L as there are button - holes to be marked. The needles L have angular shafts and are mounted on threaded pressure keys K passing through nuts in longitudinally adjustable plates having laterally adjustable slides. Springs 0 normally hold the needles up, but they are depressed, and at the same time rotated, when the eccentric D<1> is operated to first press the bar G on to the blanks, and then to press the plate E on to the keys K. The plates P for different sizes and shapes of collars have apertures P<1> for the adjusted needles. The central needles need not be adjustable, while a separate means may be used for pressing the blanks, in which case the bar G need not move down.

Title: Automatic Machine for Cutting and Polishing Diamonds.
Inventor: LEPERRE EMILE
IPC: B24B9/16
Filed: 1913-09-25
Granted: 1914-08-27
Abstract: 21,676. Leperre, E. Sept. 25. Gems, treating. - An automatic diamond cutting and polishing machine comprises a cylinder 1 upon the internal surface of which the stones are treated, and a dop 7 in which the stone is held by fingers 19 and which is adjustable in a graduated arcuate guide 21 about an horizontal axis, and also about a vertical axis to present the required portion of the stone to the wheel. The head 7 of the dop is adjustable eccentrically in its base to correct any slight inaccuracy in the setting of the diamond. The dop is carried by a slide 26 mounted on bearings 28 in a member 27 and urged upwards by a spring 29 to bring the stone up to the wheel. During the cutting- operation, the member 27 is constantly reciprocated by a roller 16 engaging a helical groove in a block 12 on the cutting-wheel axle. The extent to which the stone 7 is fed up to the wheel is determined by a micrometer wheel 34, which rotates under spring action as the slide rises and carries an electric gauge contact which comes up to a stationary electric contact when the facet being operated upon is sufficiently cut; this excites an electro-magnet 49 which projects a core 51 into the path of a roller 46 on the slide 26, thus depressing the slide which is then held down by a latch 55. A safety-stop set by the milled screw 44 prevents further upward feed of the diamond if the electrical retracting-apparatus fails. The dop is rotated about its vertical axis until the micrometer moves its maximum speed and thus shows that the stone is presented to the dop in the best direction for cutting.

Granted: 1914-05-28
Abstract: 1552. Bolzani, A. M. F. Jan. 20. Self-sustaining gear. -Relates to self - sustaining gear of the kind in which the driving- member c, such as a hand chain - wheel, is mounted on a screwed portion a<2> of the driven shaft a and is adapted to force a ratchet-wheel d into engagement with a disk b fast on the shaft a. The whole rotates solidly during lifting, but is sustained by a pawl c when the lifting-power is withdrawn, and the load can only be lowered by reversing the lifting-power so as to ease the axial pressure between the disk b, the ratchet-wheel d, and the boss c<1> of the hand-wheel c. When the power is withdrawn after lowering a load, a relative movement between the shaft and the hand-wheel is required to re-apply the brake. According to the present invention, this is obtained by providing braking-surfaces, not influenced by the axial screw pressure, between the driving- member c and the ratchet-wheel d. For this purpose, the boss of the driving-member c is formed with an annular flange c<1> bearing frictionally inside a similar flange on the ratchetwheel d, the central bore of which fits loosely around the shaft. A spring pressing on the pawl e increases the friction between the ratchetwheel d and the flange c<1>.

Sheet-registering devices; carriers; dropping- roller feeds; gripper mechanism. - Realtes to means for feeding sheets to high-speed presses, in which the sheets are moved into end and side registration while being conveyed along by the forwarding-device. The sheets are fed singly, by hand or automatically, on a feedboard 11 against a rising and falling stop 37 working in conjunction with a dropping roller 29 operated by a cam on the shaft 38. The sheet is then forwarded by a series of tapes 12 passing around rollers 14, 15 and driven at a higher speed than the cylinder of the press by gearing from the printing-cylinder 2. The sheet is fed by the tapes up to a stop 67 secured to a transverse bar 67* connected to two endless chains 42 which are driven at the same speed as the impression cylinder, and is taken by grippers carried by a bar 54 secured to the chains in the rear of the stop 67. The grippers engage the side edges of the sheet, and are adjustable on the bar 54 to accommodate sheets of different widths. One set of grippers comprises a member 55 clamped to the bar 54 bv screws 55*, and a pivoted jaw 56 opened and closed by a cam 57 on a bar 68 adjustably supported on two cross-rods 69, 70. The other set of grippers comprises a fixed jaw 59 and a pivoted jaw 64 opened and closed by a cam 65, and is slid in brackets carried by the bar 54 against the action of a spring 63, to register the sheet, by a cam 61 on a cam-bar 71. In operation, as the sheet is carried by the tapes 12 against the stop 67, the grippers 59, 64 are moved inward, closed, and then returned to their outer position to register the sheet laterally, after which the grippers 55, 56 close. The registered sheet is thus held and fed by the grippers to the grippers on the impression cylinder, the stop 67 moving upward out of the way, and the grippe.rs opening to release the sheet.

Abstract: 9237. Ges. f³r Elektro - Osmose. April 14, 1913, [Convention date]. Electric endosmose; silica, obtaining; diaphragms; electrodes.-To prepare a solution of silicic acid of low molecular weight, an alkalisilicate solution of 5-10 per cent strength is placed in an anode compartment, the electrodes being preferably perforated and placed close to the diaphragm. To prevent passage of silica, in consequence of the presence of traces of foreign acids, the diaphragm is made of a material giving practically a zero potential, for instance a mixture of carborundum and corundum, the process described in Specification 2626/11, being employed. When the product is to be used medically, the anode is of platinum netting; otherwise it may be of lead-antimony alloy. Brass wire netting may serve as cathode. The electric pressure, initially low, may be raised to 60-70 volts to remove the last of the alkali. Traces of foreign acids are then separated by transferring the silicic acids to a vessel serving as cathode and containing an anode surrounded by a diaphragm which may be of parchment paper; the electric pressure may be gradually increased during this treatment.

Abstract: 13,513. Heaton, H. June 3. Discharging-appliances; driving-mechanism.- A mixing-machine of the type comprising a mixing-trough which is tilted to discharge the material is provided with means which prevent the cover of the machine from being raised until the trough is tilted and the machine from being driven if the cover is raised to more than a certain extent. To the spindle B of the cover A is attached an arm C carrying a roller D which engages with a curved channel E attached to the frame of the machine so that the cover cannot be raised until the trough has been tilted sufficiently for the roller to clear the channel. The stopping-means comprises two levers G, H, to one H of which is attached a forked arm I which engages with the rim of a hand-wheel J operating a clutch which starts and stops the machine. While the machine is running, the lever H is supported by the lever G in such a position that the arm I is clear of the wheel J. When the trough is tilted and the cover is raised, a pin F forming the axle of the roller D strikes the lever G and moves it so that it disengages the lever H, which then falls, and the arm I grips the hand-wheel J and stops the machine. The lever G may then be raised bv hand, so as to release the wheel J, so that the machine can be driven to expel the contents of the trough while the cover is open to a limited extent. If the cover is opened wide, the pin F engages with a notch X in the lever G and holds it down. The levers G, H are jointed by a link-and-slot connexion so that, when the lever G is held down as described, the arm I is locked in a position to stop the machine.

Abstract: 21,789. Elia, G. E. Jan. 19, [Convention date]. Mines, marine.-Relates to mines provided with means adapted to anchor the mine automatically at a given depth, and consists in means for converting the mine into a sub-floating one by decreasing the weight or increasing the buoyancy of the system when the sea-bed is deeper than the available length of anchor cable. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the mine is anchored in shallow waters by the usual anchor a, comprising a drum c for the cable d connecting the anchor to the mine and a plummet g for determining the depth of submersion of the mine; but in deeper waters, the excessive unwinding of the anchor cable causes a notch in a wheel p geared to the drum c to release a spring catch s, t from eyes u on a weight v. This weight falls away, leaving the mine and all the parts attached thereto with a small buoyancy just less than that of a small float y, which is released at the same time. This float, being connected by a short line x to a loop j around the main cable d, rises to the surface of the water and holds the mine at a depth determined by the length of the line x. Means may be provided to adjust the release of the spring catch for different depths, and these means may be made accessible from outside the anchor. In a modification, the spring catch, instead of releasing a weight, breaks open a water receptacle, the water falls on calcium carbide, and the buoyancy of the anchor is reduced bv inflation with the acetylene produced. In another modification, the anchor is water-tight and provided with cocks, which are opened or shut before the mine is laid.
