Title: Improvements in Scales.
Inventor: DUNN FRANK PATRICK
Filed: 1908-07-13
Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 14,823. Dunn, F. P. July 13. Value -indicating apparatus ; indicating.-Relates to a weighing-scale for indicating the value of articles which vary in price per unit of weight. The weighing-lever 25, Fig. 5, fulcrumed on bearings 44, is bifurcated as shown in Fig. 4, and is provided with knife-edges 46 on which a bearing- piece 53, Fig. 8, for supporting the scale-pan is mounted. A link 56 and stand 40, Fig. 5, guide the pan in a vertical direction. One end of the lever 25 is connected by a link 26 and arm 23 to a shaft 20 to which is attached an indicator 18. The indicator is forked at the extremity and embraces a graduated scale 17, on each side of which are two rows of figures, as shown, for indicating weights and values respectively. The weighing-lever 25 is partly enclosed by a loaded indicator-controlling lever 30, fulcrumed on bearings 441, Fig. 4, and attached at one end to the shaft 20 by links 31, 24 as shown in Fig. 5. When the indicator 18 is at zero, the arm 24 is vertical and the downward pull of the arm 30 has no effect, but gradually increases in effect as the indicator is displaced. A dash-pot 34 is connected to the lever 25. The apparatus as described may be used as a simple weight scale or may be provided with a computing or value chart and be used as a computing scale. In the form shown in Fig. 3, an horizontal scale beam 60, is secured by two arms to the indicator-controlling lever 30. This scale-beam is graduated with priceper-unit-weight marks and is provided with a sliding poise 161. When the poise is set to the twopence mark as shown, the apparatus registers correctly the weight shown on the dial, Fig. 5, but for other positions of the poise the prices only are correctly indicated. Adjusting.-The weighing-lever 25 is accurately balanced by placing shot in the pan 45 and the bowl 25<1>.

Title: An Improved Process for Obtaining Tartaric Acid.
Inventor: BERRY GEORGE FREDERICK
Filed: 1908-10-17
Granted: 1909-03-25
Abstract: 22,029. Berry, G. F. Oct. 17.

IPC: G05D13/10
Filed: 1910-07-01
Granted: 1910-12-31
Abstract: 15,800. Gemmill, J. I. July 1. Stop-gear.-The valve controlling the supply of motive fluid to the engine driving an aircompressor is controlled simultaneously by a speed governor and a pressure - responsive device, and a stop-gear which operates on the breakage of the governor belt is combined with the apparatus. The engine throttle valve 6 is of the ported rotary type, and the regulating-apparatus is mounted upon uprights 20, 21 on the valve casing. The valve spindle 9 is rocked by an arm 10, shown in plan view in Fig. 4, which is connected by an adjustable nut 28 and a link 34 with an operating-lever 36. A stop 27 prevents movement in one direction beyond the closed position of the valve. The lever 36 is pivoted at 37 upon a stud which is moved by the speed governor or stop-gear, and at 130 upon a stud which is moved by the pressure-responsive device. The speed governor comprises a wheel 42 mounted upon a spindle 39, which is driven by a belt on a pulley 47. In order to provide for the emergency stop-gear, the governor spindle 39 is arranged within a sleeve 57 mounted upon fixed pivots 54. A second sleeve 66 sliding on the sleeve 57 has a rectangular outer surface passing easily through a rectangular opening in the support 64. In the normal working position as shown in Fig. 3, the sleeve 66 is displaced to the left compressing a spring 61, and a tongue 70 engages the edge of the opening in the support 64. The parts are retained in this position by the pull of the governor belt, but, on the belt breaking, the shaft 39 and its sleeves drop in the opening, and the spring 61 pushes the sleeve 66 into the position shown in Fig. 2. On this occurring, a ring 60 engages a shoulder 59 on the sleeve 38 and moves the sleeve with its stud 37 so as to close the throttle valve.

Abstract: 24,450. Barrett, G. W., and Barrett, A. N. Oct. 21. Sale apparatus.-The apparatus is adapted to feed forward a postage stamp through a delivery mouth 19 from a strip 4 contained in a chamber 5. Delivery mechanism.-The stamp strip is led over a grid 9 beneath a spring presser 11, and is moved forward through the space of one stamp by pins 17 when a hand-operated slide 12 is withdrawn. The pins 17 are mounted in a rocking frame 16, which is pivoted at 15 between lateral arms 14 on the slide. Stops 18 serve to limit the backward movement of the frame. During the return movement of the slide, the frame 16 swings away from the stops 18, and the pins rise up in the frame so as to ride freely over the strip, and finally fall into the next row of perforations, the parts assuming the position shown in Fig. 2. The frame 16 is provided with a gripping-edge 27 which facilitates the severance of the stamp at the mouth 19. Coin action, mechanical-connexion.-A spring 24 normally engages a notch 23 in the slide, and prevents its complete withdrawal unless a coin C has been inserted, the edge of the coin serving to raise the spring from the notch.

Granted: 1911-12-11
Abstract: 26,086. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Nov. 9. Loose-nailing.-In a pulling-over or like machine, the tack block and driver are arranged to move in such relation that the tacks are bent in the operation of driving. The invention is described as applied to a pulling-over machine resembling in its general organization the machine described in Specifications 7005/00 and 12,304/03, [both in Class 17, Boots &c.], and is intended to be used in conjunction with the devices described in Specifications 29,362/09, 28,393/10, and 28,394/10, [all in Class 17 (i), Boots &c., Apparatus for making &c.]. The tack block 97, Fig. 3, which is made in two sections 96, 98 connected by screws, is pivoted by pins 110, Figs. 3 and 8, to a carrier 92, which is detachably held on the tacker arm 60 by a bolt 61. The tack block is normally held by a spring 99, Fig. 8, with a lug 91 engaging a wall of a recess in the carrier 92, as shown in Fig. 3, in which position its tack pockets are at an angle to the driver 50, which is pivoted at 49 to a driver-bar 57; the tack shoots 52 are also pivotally supported, as at 54, and are held with their delivery ends normally over the tack pockets by spring-pressed pins 55. When the drivers descend, the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 4, and the tack is just entering the shoulder. Then, as the drivers swing the tack block forward, the tack is bent, as indicated in Fig. 5. As a result of bending the tack, the upper tends to slide downwards instead of upwards on the tack. The lower section 98 of the tack block is contoured, as shown in Fig. 8, and serves as a wiper. The tack-holding jaws 100, 01, Fig. 9, located in the section 98 are each formed as a small sector of a cylinder, and their plane faces are normally held in contact by a spring 102. These faces are provided with opposite grooves 104 pointed at their lower ends to form a tack pocket, which is normally centred over a driver passage 108, Fig. 3.
