Title: Improvements in Vices and Cramps.
Inventor: LAWRENCE GEORGE FREDERICK
IPC: B25B1/12
Filed: 1913-04-16
Granted: 1914-04-16
Abstract: 8898. Lawrence, G. F., and Alexander, A. H. April 16. Vices; cramps. - Relates to vices or cramps of the kind having the movable part constructed in two portions, the loose jaw proper and a dog engaging with a rack rigid with the fixed jaw and carrying a screw or other means by which pressure can be exerted between it and the loose jaw, and consists in arranging the dog so that the line of action of the screw or other pressure device passes above the point of engagement of the dog with the rack whereby the reaction of the screw and rack on the dog form a couple tending to rotate it, thus producing a downward pressure on that part of the dog which is arranged to bear on the movable jaw. The nut E of the dog has a claw K passing downwardly through a slot in the vice base and terminating in teeth F adapted to engage the racks C, and rests on the loose jaw H at points G' as near as possible to the face of the jaw so that the downward pressure represented by the arrow Z of the dog nut thereon, during gripping of the work, overcomes all tendency of the loose jaw to rise. Any suitable form of rack teeth may be used, and the teeth F of the dog nut may be arranged to swivel as shown in Fig. 9. The bearing-points of the dog on the loose jaw may be furnished with antifriction devices such as rollers N. The pressure device may take the form of a cam-lever P, R, as shown in Fig. 4.

Granted: 1914-08-07
Abstract: 11,094. Soc. l'Air Liquide (Soc. Anon. pour l'Etude et l'Exploitation des Procedes G. Claude.) May 6, 1913, [Convention date]. Drying air and gases.-Compressed air or gas, for example water gas, is dried by heat interchange with the cooled expanded air or gas by causing the latter to descend tubular passages B<1>, while the compressed gas ascends a confined space round them. The compressed gas is caused bv baffles B<3> to follow a nearly horizontal sinuous path. The point of zero temperature, where the greatest deposit of moisture occurs, is momentarily shifted upwards, allowing the hoar frost to melt by allowing the compressed gas to enter at a higher temperature than usual, for example by eliminating the cooling in the last stage of compression for a time. As shown, compressed gas enters at the point B<2> and passes through the apparatus to an engine A in which it expands, afterwards passing down the tubes B'. Moisture passes into a receptacle C. The heat-exchanger may be inclined instead of vertical.

Title: Improvements in connection with Machines for Compiling Statistics from Perforated Cards, Sheets and the like.
Inventor: BARR MARK
Filed: 1914-12-24
Abstract: 24,639. Barr, M., and Maw, T. F. Dec. 24. Statistical machines. -In apparatus for compiling statistics from cards or like record members upon which sets of perforations &c. represent classes and corresponding numbers, these numbers are registered by the release of separate objects, such as balls, for the purpose of actuating a counter in the manner described i n Specification 25,018/10. A perforated table a, Fig. 1, is arranged to support a card b so that sets of holes representing classes are below a frame c, and those standing for corresponding numbers in each class are under a frame l. The frame c is adapted to be reciprocated in guides d by a cam e acting through a lever pivoted to the frame c at one end and supported by a spring at the other. Any combination of pins f may be fixed in the frame c, so that the frame can only be depressed sufficiently to complete an electric contact at g if the same combination of holes is beneath the frame. The contacts g close the circuit of an electro-magnetic device, such as a clutch i for rotating a cam k which serves to depress the frame l provided with spring pins m. These pins pass through any holes there may be to represent numbers corresponding to the class under the frame c, and thereby complete electric contact with a plate o so as to operate the electro - magnets p of devices arranged to release balls t to a counter v. In a modified form, the pins z, Fig. 2, on the frame l are connected to levers 1 having brushes x arranged to contact with rotating cylinders w if the pin does not pass through the card b; or the arrangement may be such that contact is made if a pin does pass through. In Fig. 4, the contact plate o is shown placed above the frame l, so that circuit is completed through those pins not passing through the card. In another modification, Fig. 6, the selected pins f (shown shaded) are electrically connected in alternate groups of two, so that when they can all pass through the card, circuit is established to the plate o by shortcircuiting strips 3. In a mechanically-actuated device, one end of a lever is adapted to enter the perforations and so rock the lever to operate the release. In a pneumatically-operated arrangement, the card b is passed over a tracker-bar connected to a pressure reservoir by any known combination of valves adapted, on the passage of each perforation, to exhaust bellows, by the motion of which release is effected.
