Abstract: 15,310. K÷hn, C. H., and Tõubert, E. June 30. Propelling by means other than adhesion driving- wheels or racks.- Haulage tackle for ploughs consists of a vehicle moved forward by means of spikes 16 which are forced into the ground. The spikes are pivoted to carriages 4, 5, which run to and fro on the frame 2 when driven by chains 13, 14 from a rotating shaft 11, the motion of which is periodically reversed automatically o r by hand. The chain 14 being crossed between pulleys 15, 15<1>, the inner and outer carriages move in opposite directions, so that the vehicle is moved forward by the alternate action of the outer and inner spikes.

Title: Improved Means for Sharpening and Setting Saws.
Inventor: CROCKER SAMUEL HENRY
IPC: B23D63/00
Filed: 1909-09-03
Granted: 1910-09-01
Abstract: 20,197. Crocker, S. H. Sept. 3. Saws, setting.-A device for sharpening saws is constructed with a pinion a having file-like or abrasive teeth or cogs formed with abrading- surfaces adapted to generate " half-moon " or like saw teeth in a notched saw blade moved in the plane of rotation of the pinion while in engagement with its teeth or cogs. The pinion a may be carried by a spindle f mounted in the shanks of a guide b affixed to a table by means of a thumb-screw d, the saw blade being guided between the shanks b while it is reciprocated over the pinion. As the pinion is rotated by the reciprocation of the saw, the teeth or cogs, in moving into and out of engagement with the saw teeth, turn in the spaces between the saw teeth and sharpen their faces by abrasion, at the same time forming along their edges lateral burrs or sharp upsettings of the metal which render unnecessary a lateral setting of the saw teeth. For sharpening circular saws, the pinion is mounted in a pivoted guide b, which is adjustably spring-pressed towards the saw, the pinion being tapered so that, as the diameter of the saw is reduced by sharpening, the pinion may be adjusted axially to bring the smaller part of the pinion into action.

Abstract: 5949. Boult, A. J., [Larsen, I.]. March 9. Cam - actuated revolving - cylinder pumps; stroke, varying.-A multiple delivery lubricator for motor-vehicles &c. comprises an oil reservoir A containing a fixed cylinder B surrounded by a rotating cylinder C, which carries a pump C'. The cylinder B is secured to the top plate 3 of the casing, and has a bevelled flange 19 upon which rests the cylinder C. The pump cylinder 34 has a side passage 36, which registers alternately with suction ports 25 on the flange 19 and with delivery ports 26 connected to outlet pipes 17. The pump plunger 35 is pressed upwards by a spring 45 and is depressed by a series of cams 8, which are adjustably screwed into the plate 3 to vary the stroke of the pump.

The plunger 35 is fitted with a roller 44 at its upper end, and is prevented from rotating by a key projecting through the boss 39. A well 4 at the bottom of the casing is fitted with a plug for the removal of sediment. In a modification the outlet pipes 17, instead of passing upwards through the plate 3, project downwards from the flange 19 through the floor of the casing.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electrically-operated Playing Apparatus for Musical Instruments.
Inventor: CLARK D ARCY MELVILLE
Filed: 1910-08-29
Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 20,095. Clark, D'A. M., [Telelectric Co.]. Aug. 29. Expression, controlling; actions.-In an automatic musical instrument, the expression is controlled bv switch devices which short-circuit resistances in series with the note-operating electro-magnets. More or less of the resistance in each electro-magnet circuit may be shortcircuited by a sliding contact of the kind described in Specification 12,555/07, and to accentuate a note or notes, tune sheets of the kind described in Specification 16,620/10 are employed. The note-operating electro-magnets 5 are connected in parallel circuits, each containing resistances 10, 11, and 12. Each circuit includes a contact finger, which bears upon the tracker-bar 2. A short-circuit a, terminating in spring arms, is provided for each of the resistances 10. The spring arms bear upon a roller comprising a series of copper disks 23 threaded on an insulating-sleeve and separated by insulating-disks 24, as shown in Fig. 3. A rod of insulating-material 27 is threaded through a hole bored parallel to the axis of the roller, and the spring arms of one series normally bear upon it, while those of the other series bear upon the copper disks 23. The roller is mounted on pivots 31, 30, and is connected by a pin 34 to the armature 33 of an electro-magnet 13. When the electro-magnet 13 is energized by a special aperture in the tune-sheet, the roller is rotated against the action of a spring 35 until both sets of spring arms bear upon the conducting-disks 23, so short-circuiting the resistances 10 and causing all the bass notes to be sounded more loudly. Similar devices are provided for short-circuiting the resistances 11 of the bass notes, and also the resistances 10, 11 of the treble notes. In a modified construction of switch device, a number of spring contacts bear upon an insulating-bar carried by the armatures of electro-magnets, and normally supported by a spring. When the armatures are attracted the bar is drawn down, permitting each of the spring contacts to complete a circuit. Sliding contacts 36, which may be operated as described in Specification 12,555/07, are provided for varying the resistances in the circuits. These contacts normally bear on the conducting-parts of rollers C which are similar to that shown in Fig. 3, but when an electromagnet 38 is energized, a roller is rotated until all the contacts of one set bear upon an insulating-rod such as 27, so putting more resistance in the circuits and subduing the notes sounded. Specification 17,617/01 is also referred to.

Title: A New or Improved Water Motor.
Inventor: KAITTING GEORGE CLENSO
IPC: F03C1/007
Filed: 1910-09-05
Granted: 1911-02-16
Abstract: 20,674. Kaitting, G. C. Sept. 5. Liquid-pressure engines.-Relates to the type of water motor in which a hollow piston carries double-ended inlet and outlet valves having projecting stems which are reversed by contact with the cylinder covers or by spring-controlled studs therein, and in which a hollow piston-rod acts as a liquid-conveying pipe. The invention consists in providing a spring-supported valvestriking plate upon each cover of the cylinder, and having a piston-rod, extending from one side only of the piston, which acts as the supply pipe. Supply water passes from the hollow rod D by a passage F and port f to an enclosed chamber G, in which is mounted the inlet valve H possessing cylindrical guides h, conical valve faces i, and projections l. In the exhaust chamber M, which is always open to the discharge pipe d, is mounted the exhaust valve m, the valve faces of which are formed by washers r of adjustable thickness. The projections are adapted to contact at the end of each stroke with spring - supported plates K, whereby reversal is obtained. The arrangement is such that when the cylinder space to the right of the piston is in communication with the supply, the space on the left is open to the exhaust, and vice versa.

Abstract: 20,919. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, and Crowley, J. F. Sept. 21. Spinning and twisting machines; driving-arrangements.-The regulator of an electrically-driven ring spinning and twisting frame is operated by a lever 21, which is actuated by a lever 10 loose upon a shaft 1 carrying cams 8, 9. The lever 10 is connected with levers 12, 16 which are engaged by the cams 8, 9 and are carried by a plate loose upon the shaft 1. The plate is oscillated by a cam similar to, and rotating synchronously with, the buildiog - cam, and the shaft 1 is oscillated by gearing from the poker-shaft, so that the motion imparted to the lever 10 by the plate is modified by the gain of the cams 8, 9. The effect of this motion of the cams is to vary the amplitude of the final motion by altering the position of the bowl 20 and to alter the position in space of the lever 10 by means of the lever 12. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the regulator lever 37 is operated from a lever 25, which is oscillated by a cam 24 similar to the heart cam. The shaft 26, upon which the lever 25 is mounted loosely, is reciprocated by the poker-shaft and carries a sector which operates a cam 30 on the lever 25. The cam, owing to its " gain " on the lever 25, operates the rod 33 to vary the amplitude of the oscillation of the rod or lever 37.
