Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 615. Borden, C. H. March 1, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Link - work. - A desk telephone holder consisting of a "parallel ruler" link-work with counterbalancing springs permits the telephone to be steadily maintained vertically in any position to which it can be moved. On the fixed pivot A is supported a casting B to which are attached parallel links D<1>, D<2> by pivots B', B<2>. At the other end of the links are two similar pivots E<1>, E<2> by which the telephone is supported. To enable the links to remain steady in any position, two springs are provided, one on each side, each having two portions G<1>, G<2>. The former can be placed in one of a number of notches and the tension of the spring then more carefully adjusted by a screw H. The other portion G<2> is cam-shaped and bears upon rollers D' on the links, the shape of the cam being determined to correct the alteration of the pressure on the rollers which would result for different positions. Clips for supporting the cord are sprung round the bar D<2> in recesses in this bar, and a stop is provided which would strike the table before the telephone. A modification for a desk telephone is described and cam springs of various shapes are shown in the Specification. Three methods are described of attaching the rollers D' to the link D'. Fig. 13 shows one method, in which a cap-piece D<5> held to the link D' by a screw embraces flanges on the rollers. The springs may, if necessary, be replaced by an ordinary clock spring.

Abstract: 5008. Rigg, J., and Meacock, T. March 1. Plug cocks; self closing cocks, shocks, preventing, casings. - In plug cocks, the passage through the plug and the ports are made of diamond shape so that the flow of fluid is cut off gradually and shocks are pre vented. Fig. 1 shows a tap of this type having a hollow plug 1 through which the fluid passes from an annular chamber 4. The shape of the port is shown at 5. A solid plug cock is also shown. For high pressures, the ports are formed with narrow slots at the ends of the diamond shape further to prolong the cutting off. The plug is kept in position by a self-contained stuffing-box. Fig. 4 shows a self-closing plug cock having the diamond-shaped port. The valve is closed by a spring 12, secured at 14 to the casing and at 13 to the handle 17 of the plug 1. The handle may be rotated upon the plug to vary the torsion of the spring, and may be secured in position by set-screws 20. The plug is kept on its seating by the tension of the spring, and that is varied by a screw 22, which operates a square bolt 15 to which the spring is attached.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Safety Lamps for use in Mines.
Inventor: MALLET ACHILLE DESIRE JOSEPH
Filed: 1907-01-09
Granted: 1907-07-18
Abstract: 615. Mallet, A. D. J. Jan. 9. Miners' lamps.-An electric battery lamp for miners is shown in section in Fig. 2, and a device for conecting its accumulator in a charging-circuit in Fig. 10. The accumulator box 1 is supported directly by a stirrup 3, the lamp being mounted on a detachable cover 2. A hook 13 and a support 14 for it may be provided on the stirrup. The glass 10 and reflector 19 are held in position, and the cover 2 is pressed against a leather ring 29 on the accumulator, by a disk 8, which can be screwed up or down on an extension 9 of the supporting stirrup. This disk when screwed down engages a ring-5 carried by uprights 4 on the cover, and is locked by a spring bolt t, shown in Fig. 4, fastened by a lead rivet to another upright 15. The glass 10 bears on an ebonite disk through a rubber washer. The lamp-holder is connected to the accumulator terminals 38 by a switch comprising two spring blades 23 which can be depressed by a screw 6. The spring blades, or springs 36 on them, engage an ebonite block 35 which can turn on a rod 33 on the end of the screw 6, this allowing for any inequality in the amount of depression required for the blades 23. Charging of the accumulator is effected without removing it from the box 1, as shown in Fig. 10. An ebonite bar 49, with contacts connected by two spring blades 47 and bars 46 to a dynamo, is depressed by a screw 50 on to the terminals 38 of the accumulator. The screw 50 works in a slot in the block 49, which can be removed for cleaning the contacts when a stirrup 52 acting as a guide has been withdrawn through a slot 53. The accumulator stopper 24 is provided with a passage, which communicates with the air when in the position shown in Fig. 10, to allow of charging. The accumulator comprises a celluloid casing 59 having a chamber 39 for the plates and a small empty chamber 40 with a stopper. A celluloid tube 41 connects the chamber so that only a little liquid can pass into the small one. The box 1 has a slot for observing the level of liquid in the accumulator. The accumulator is sealed by the stopper when only required to serve for a short time, the smaller chamber acting as a gas receptacle. For longer working, however, the stopper may have a hole through it.

Title: Improvements in Typographic Line Composing and Casting Machines
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
Filed: 1907-05-31
Granted: 1908-01-30
Abstract: 12,658. Lake, H. W., [Ludlow Co.]. May 31. Linotype and like machines.-Matrix bars 4, each with a full fount of matrices on the lower edge and either straight or tapered from the centre towards each end, are adjusted longitudinally by hand in a trough 3 formed with a central transverse casting- slot 6 receiving a vertically - movable mould 7. Each matrix bar is doubly tapered at both ends 28, 'which are preferably thin and flexible, so that two or more bars can be used for wedge justification. The trough 3 is formed in a framing 1 provided 'with a cover 10 formed with a central rectangular opening 2. Pins 8 to be grasped by the hand project centrally from the matrix bars through the opening 2. A comb 12, termed a " composer," is carried by a frame 11 guided transversely and traversed by means of racks 13 and pinions 14 on a shaft 15 provided with a milled bead. The teeth of the comb are provided with indicating-characters 'corresponding to 'the matrices of the bars 4. In 'setting up a line, the pins 8 of the matrix bars for a word are inserted in the proper slots of the comb, and then two or more matrix bars are separated in opposite directions to form a wedge spacer, and the comb is advanced for the next word. Indicating-characters are provided on the upper edge of the matrix bars for exposure through the central comb slot to check the setting. The teeth of the comb are slightly barbed at the points to retain the pins 8 temporarily during assembly. Alinement is effected by the comb, which is 'finally advanced entirely across the opening 2 so that its teeth engage in guide-slots 20, and, 'further, grooves are provided along the upper and lower edges of the matrix bars for engagement by slight ridges on 'the two central teeth of the comb and on the upper edges of the mould. The tapered ends of the matrix bars are cut away to clear the ridges on the comb so that the matrix bar is free when used as a spacer. The length of line is determined by a sliding gauge 27 provided with a spring keeper 30 engaging in notches 31 in the framing. In order that it may not be necessary to remove any superfluous matrix bars from the trough after setting up a line, the matrix bars are perforated at the ends for the passage of the gauge 27, and a spring 33 holds the matrix bars close together. Justification is effected by forcing together the space bars.
