Abstract: 3312. Penkala, L. Feb. 14, 1912, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Composition fuel. - An agglutinant for briquettes is made by boiling vegetals containing gelose, such as algae or seaweeds, lichenislandicus, and analogous mosses in alkaline lye. The vegetals in a wet or dry state are cleaned, ground, and then boiled in lye for 1-2 hours; the gelatinous product is used in this form or coagulated by the addition of a metal sulphate or sulphide, for example, sulphate of iron or alum. Coagulation is preferably brought about at the moment of briquetting by dividing the fuel material into two portions, mixing one with the agglutinant and the other with the coagulant and combining the portions while passing into the press.

Abstract: 7193. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. March 26. Sewing - machines; feed by dog; feed by presser-foot; presser-feet bars; presser-bars, lifting automatically.-In a machine in which lateral movements are imparted to the feed-dog for producing zigzag or scalloped seams, lateral movements are also imparted to the presserfoot, and means are provided whereby the presser-foot may be automatically lifted off the work at each stitch on turning corners. In the machine shown, the feeding-mechanism is given its work-advancing and lateral movements as described in Specification 16,124/12, and the work-advancing movements are varied in accordance with the lateral displacements as described in Specification 5699/14. The presserfoot comprises three sections mounted on a bar 66, Fig. 8, arranged to slide laterally in the end of the presser-bar 61. The bar 66 is moved laterally by a link 91, Fig. 1, connecting it with the throat plate 21, which moves laterally with the feed-dog. The central section 86, Fig. 8, of the presser-foot is spring-pressed, and the outer sections 76 are connected by a compensating-lever. Secured to the lower end of the presser-bar 61 is an arm 203, Fig. 7, carrying a spring blade 204 with a stripper finger 205 adapted to strip the fabric from the needles. A filling-cord may be passed through the tubular finger 205. Secured to the sliding bar 66 is a spring smoothing-plate 210, Fig. 4, with an inspection aperture, adapted to free the fabric from wrinkles. The device for raising the presser automatically at each stitch when required is shown in Figs. 1<a> and 4. A rock-shaft 101 carries at one end an arm 117 engaging beneath a lifting-lug 118 on the presser-bar, and at the other an arm 108 having a spring- pressed pin 106 adapted to enter an opening in a lever 100 loosely mounted on the shaft 101. When the lifting-device is out of action, the lever 100 is held back by a spring, but when it is desired to put the device into action, the lever 100 is pressed forward so that the pin 106 snaps into the hole, in which position a roller 99 on the end of the lever is engaged by an edge cam 97, Figs. 1 and 4, on the main shaft. The lever may be released to render the device again inoperative by a finger-lever 114. A device for laying a covering-thread beneath the lines of stitches as described in Specification 16,124/12 is provided.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a Device for Extracting Fruitjuice by Means of Steam.
Inventor: WADE HAROLD
IPC: A47J27/04
Filed: 1913-03-31
Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 7612. Wade, H., [Weck Ges., J.]. March 31. Steam cooking-apparatus. - In apparatus for extracting fruit juice by means of steam, the water-vessel and the juice-receiver are separated by a partition, the steam generated in the watervessel passing into the superposed fruit-containing receptacle, while the walls of the juicereceiver are in contact with the outer air. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the cylindrical vessel 1 is divided by a partition 2 into a waterchamber 3 and a juice-collecting chamber 4, the bottom of the latter chamber being raised so as to prevent undue heating when the vessel is placed on a hot-plate. The fruit-vessel 6 supported on lugs 5 over the vessel 1 has one half of its base perforated, and the other half solid and provided with inclined grooves 8. The vessel 6 is enclosed by a cover 15 secured to a rim on the upper edge of the lower vessel. Steam generated in the chamber 3 passes into the fruit vessel from the top and through openings 9, and the juice extracted falls directly into the vessel 4 or is guided thereto by the grooves 8. The fruit may be inclosed in a filtering-cloth 16, and a second cloth 17 may be placed over the chamber 4. In a modification, the whole of the base of the fruit-vessel is perforated and an inclined plate is placed over the water-vessel 3. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the annular juice-receiver encloses a deeper water-chamber 3, from which it is separated by air-passages 24. The fruit-vessel 6 rests on the top of the dividing-wall, which is cut away to allow steam to pass outwards. The central part of the base of the vessel 6 is raised and the outer part perforated. The water-container 3 may be a separate metal vessel placed within the central passage of the earthenware annular vessel 4. In another form shown in Fig. 8, the vessel 4 stands on a flange 28 in a pan 29, and steam passes through a central passage 34. The vessel 4 is closed by a lid 33 and the fruit is placed in a cloth 32 over a sieve 30. Water may be added to the pan 29 without disturbing the apparatus.

Sliding - jaw wrenches. - Adjustable spanners, of the kind in which the sliding jaw is provided with teeth which are engaged with teeth on the fixedjaw shank by means of a wedge inserted between the movable jaw and the shank, are so constructed that the action of the wedge shifts the movable jaw in a direction parallel to the axis of a nut to be operated on. In one arrangement, the wedge 9, provided with a thumbpiece projecting through a slot in the movable jaw 3, engages a longitudinal groove 7 in the fixed-jaw shank 2 to permit of adjustment, locking being effected, against the action of a spring 12, by moving the wedge to the position shown in Fig. 5, so as to draw the teeth 5 on the movable jaw into engagement with teeth 4 on the shank. In a modification, the recess into which the wedge is moved to permit of adjustment is made in the movable jaw.

Title: An Improved Telegraph Receiver and Improved Keyboard Telegraph Trasmitter.
Inventor: KESSELS ERNEST JOSEPH
IPC: H04L19/00
Filed: 1914-05-27
Granted: 1915-01-14
Abstract: 13,018. Kessels, E. J. May 27. [Addition, to 21,332/12.] Type - printing telegraphs. - Relates to apparatus of the type described in the parent Specification and Specification 3582/13 in which a type-wheel N' is moved longitudinally and rotated axially to bring the desired letter to printing position. The type-wheel is mounted on a sliding frame which is moved by the rack 2 through its connexion with the disk N<14>. The rack 2 is held between rollers 4, 5, 6, 7, and is moved step by step by the magnet M'. The sets of letters ING &c. are placed on the last row of type, and when this row reaches the printing point 20, the disk N<14> presses on the lever 23, Fig. 5, to extend the platen by the addition of the surface 21. To provide for extra spacing when a set of letters is printed a frame 25 is arranged with a pivoted piece 28. The disk N<14> passes over the upper hook on the piece 28 when moving to the left to print a set of letters, but during the return movement the disk N<14> pushes the piece 28 and frame 25 to the right, thus causing the arm 30 to provide the extra spacing. The piece 28 is released from the disk N<14> by the pin 29. The inking roller 11 is also carried on the sliding frame and normally hangs near the type cylinder. During the return movement, an arm on the release magnet presses on the roller 18 to move the ink-wheel against the type cylinder. Other features of the invention relate to modifications of the apparatus described in the Specifications referred to above. The types are arranged in seven rows of eight characters, the distributor shown in Figs. 1 and 2 of Specification 3582/13 being therefore provided with two series of seven and eight pins respectively. An interval equal to the space of 1¢ pins is allowed between the series. The local switch controlling the second winding of the magnet M<3> is actuated by a separate arm 40 instead of by an extension of the armature N<18>, The armature moves the arm 40 to the left when attracted, and both the armature and the arm return under spring action, but the weight 43 retards the return of the arm 40, thus prolonging the contact between the arms N<23>, N<26> . The main spring N<2> is a clock spring enclosed in a spring box instead of a long coiled wire. The armatures 49. J<17>, shown in Figs. 2 and 3 of Specification 3582/13 are actuated by a separate magnet which is energized at the same time with the magnet J<10>.
