Title: Improvements in Buttonhole Clamps.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1904-12-30
Granted: 1905-10-05
Abstract: 28,933. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. Dec. 30. Buttonhole-sewing machines.-Consists in arranging a work-clamp frame, with its attached clamparms and clamp-foot, so that they are relatively adjustable to one another and to the machine, thus dispensing with a plurality of clamps for different operations ; work-clearance is afforded rearwards of the clamp-foot so that special work may be done, such as longitudinal buttonholes in the rear of a collar. The clamp-foot is also flexibly connected to the machine in order that it may be self-adjusting for uneven work. The base-plate 12 is slidably connected to a plate 14, which carries a throat-plate 15, the last being provided with a needle opening 16 and a cutter-receiving slit 17. The fulcrum-block 18 is secured to the base-plate by screws 19, the slots 20 being long enough to allow adjustment. The lifting-arm 24 and the clamp-arms 25 are screwed to the block 23, which is hinged to the fulcrum block. The clamp-arms are somewhat flexible so as to allow a certain amount of independent movement. That part of the fulcrum-block which is beneath the clamp-arms is elevated above the base-plate to afford a work-clearance. A rigid post 27 and helical spring 31 are situated between the clamparms, the function of the spring being to press the arms down to the work. The lower end of the spring bears upon a plate 29, the bottom of which is preferably rounded and bears in turn upon a lower plate 30 provided with ribs 32. This construction allows the pressure of the spring to be applied evenly to the clamp-arms, notwithstanding that the latter may occupy somewhat different horizontal planes. The clamp-foot frame 34, 35 is loosely hung from the clamp-arms by ball screws 33. The clamp-foot 38 is pivoted between lugs 36 so that it can rock relatively to the frame 34. The holes in the plate 35 are of a diameter considerably greater than the diameter of the screws 40, so that a further adjustment is provided. A vertical rod 43, attached to the block 23 by way of a plate 42, engages a rod 45 forming part of a tension release.

Granted: 1906-01-18
Abstract: 8875. Story, W. H. April 27. Formaldehyde compounds; phenol alcohols.-Relates to the production of a condensation product cf aldehydes, e.g. formalin, and phenols, as described in Specification No. 10,218, A.D. 1902, [Abridgment Class India-rubber &c.], by boiling them together for some eight hours with agitation, concentrating by driving off water above 100‹ C., when the mass becomes viscous, and hardening by lowering the temperature below 100‹ C., and continuing the heating. The resultant product is transparent or opaque, according to the conditions, or may be made opaque by the addition of metallic salts. If a light product is required, air and light should be excluded. Colours such as pitch, alpha- and #-naphthol, tannic acid,and pyrogallol may be added. Instead of the mixture of aldehyde and phenol being boiled, one may be heated and the other gradually added, or the formalin vapour may be passed through the heated carbolic acid. The product may be used as a substitute for celluloid, horn, bone, ebonite, or the like and for electric insulation. It is insoluble in all known solvents, is not attacked by acids and alkalies in the cold, and fuming nitric acid only disintegrates the surface. It may be employed as the basis of a varnish by dissolving it in its viscous state in alcohol, benzol, toluol, acetone, &c., and this varnish may be used as a vehicle for paints or dyes, and for waterproofing paper, fabrics, or the like.

Boring and drilling; lathes; screwing.-In a portable drilling, screwing, and turning tool, which may be fixed by a lug to the work-bench &c., the work is held in a self-centring chuck 3, Fig. 1. A hollow spindle 7 is journalled in a screwed sleeve 6 working in the upper portion 5 of the casing of the tool. The spindle is provided with keys 22 which engage a keyway on a reversible tool-holder 23, Fig. 5, which carries screwing-dies at one end and a drill at the other. When the tool is used for turning, the spindle 7 carries at its lower end a tool-holder 8 with cutters 9 working in spiral slots 14, Fig. 4. To regulate the feed of the spindle 7, a ring carrying the crank handle 11 and fixed to the spindle carries a stud 19, on which is mounted a pinion wheel 18 between friction washers adjusted by a screw 20. A number of radial pins 21 fitted on the sleeve 6 engage the teeth of the pinion. When feeding, the sleeve will descend until the cutters engage the work, and the resistance will overcome the friction of the washers and the wheel 18 will rotate and thus no feed downwards will take place until the cut is made and the resistance. to the cutting-tool diminishes. The feeding- in of the cutters toward the work is effected by making a pin fitted to the casing engage a groove in the holder 8 and then turning the crank handle 11. A pointer 16 indicates on a scale on the top of the casing the radial position of the cutters, and a scale 27 shows the depth of the cut.

Abstract: 11,188. Clologe, J. B. H. May 17, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Timing pigeons. -Relates to a pigeon-timing clock of the type in which the chronometer is started by the introduction of the usual ring. The main object of the invention is to prevent the fraudulent acceleration of the chronometer by oscillation. The chronometer is secured to a disk P, which is free to rotate upon a pin R fixed to the lower part A of the case. A pin U, on the underside of the disk P, engages a forked lever L, which is pivoted at M and is acted on by a spring O. A sector H, pivoted upon the pin R, is provided with a receptacle Z, which coincides with a hole G in the base A and is held against the action of a spring K by a catch V. The ring having been placed in the receptacle Z, the catch V is released and the sector H rotates, thus setting free the lever L from a pin Y fixed to the sector H. The lever L then turns upon its pivot. M under the action of the spring O, and, by reason of its engagement with the pin U, causes the disk P to rotate. A brake S, which has held the balance-wheel of the chronometer, strikes the receptacle Z, and releases the movement. The lever, L engages a projection E on the sector H, and prevents its return to the former position. The chronometer being free to rotate about the pin R, any attempt to accelerate it by oscillation will be frustrated. The parts are covered by a casing, which may be sealed &c. to the base A.
