Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 19,597. Kellow, M. Aug. 22. [Cognate Application, 5186/11.] Cutter - bars.- A rotary boring- head comprises a cutter f, Figs. 6 and 8, a socketpiece h, and a cutter holder g, the parts being held together by a pin c. The hole a<2> in the cutter is considerably larger than the pin, and is filled by a disk of leather or other elastic material, through which the pin is driven. The socket-piece is channelled to convey lubricant from the water passage g<1>, and, in the case of the cutter having a pilot end, passages h', g<2> lead respectively to the pilot end and to the ordinary cutting-surface.

Abstract: 21,359. Johnson, C. H., and Johnson, A. S. Sept. 14. Mouthpieces and earpieces.-Relates to the provision of means for the protection of the transmitter and receiver from water, in telephonic apparatus principally intended for use on ships. Two cones A, mounted side by side in a casing, can be put into communication with passages leading to the diaphragms of the transmitter and receiver, by a valve D. This consists of a plug which can be turned so that the inner ends of the cones A and the openings B are connected by the channels E. The plug valve is normally retained in the closed position, as shown, by means of a spring. A switch is mounted on the valve-rod and is so arranged as to include the telephone instruments in the circuit when the double valve is open, and the calling-bell when the valve is closed.
Patent GB-191022239-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Intercommunication Telephone Systems.
Inventor: WHITE HERBERT GEORGE

Granted: 1911-07-20
Abstract: 22,239. White, H. G. Sept. 26. I n t e r c o m m u n i c a t i o n systems.-A calling-station moves its selecting-switch to the line of the required station and depresses a ringing key, thus bringing into circuit a relay the armature of w h i c h disconnects the telephone instruments from the home line and connects them to the switch lever. The talking and speaking circuits are completed over the h o m e line of a called station, it being unnecessary for the switch lever at a station to be returned to a zero position at the end of a conversation. The depression of the ringing-key K at station II completes a circuit for the relay r over the leads 14, 15 and 10. The armature a closes the contacts d, e, thus completing a ringing circuit over the switch S, line l<3>, and bell B at station III. The contact e completes a hold-on circuit for the relay r over the lead 17, the contacts w, x, the telephone instruments T, the contact e, and the lead 10. When the receiver is raised at station III, the speaking circuit is made from the instruments T at station II over the switch S lead l<3>, home line L at station III, armature a, instruments T, contacts w, x, lead 14, and lead 13 back to station II. When the receiver is hung up at station II, the relay r is de-energized and the telephone instruments are again connected to the home line. The resistance of the instruments is such that the hold-on circuit for the relay r, which is made through them, is not sufficient to energize the relay in the first place. In modifications the function of the relay r is performed by the bell magnets, and a separate inductance is inserted between the home line and the battery lead.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Drying Kilns.
Inventor: VINEL HUGUES
IPC: F26B9/06
Filed: 1911-07-19
Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 16,590. Vinel, H. July 23, 1910, [Convention date]. Drying-kilns.-Relates to kilns of the type wherein air is circulated continuously through the drying - chambers and heating - apparatus. The vapours extracted from the wood or other material under treatment are led continuously or intermittently to the furnace, which is situated between the drying - chambers. The gases from the furnace a pass through the tubes of the air-heater b. Air from the lower parts of the drying-chambers 2 passes through conduits 1, which serve to support the material to be dried, and enter the air-heater b, whence, after circulating among the pipes, it escapes through openings in the front and side walls to mixing-chambers 4 and thence through similar openings to the top of the drying-chambers. Air also passes from one drying-chamber to the other through transverse pipes 5 embedded in the roof of the furnace. Some of the air from the drying-chambers passes through longitudinal pipes embedded in the side walls of the furnace, and is conveyed direct to the mixing-chambers, being delivered in a direction at right-angles to the main current so as to produce a thorough mixing. The mixing-chamber above the furnace is provided with a safety grating to prevent the passage of sparks into the drying - chambers. When it is desired to discharge the vapours from the drying - chambers, dampers d are opened, and the air, charged with vapours, is drawn off by pipes c and delivered to the ash-pit. Small openings in the dampers allow a slight continuous discharge. Fresh air may be introduced into the air-heater and mixing-chambers through the pipe f, and into the ash-pit by the pipe e. The various chambers are lined with glazed tiles.

Abstract: 6394. Newton, P. A., [Eisenwerk Coswig und Maschinenbau Calberla Akt.-Ges.]. March 14. Cigarette-making machines. - In apparatus for feeding tobacco to cigarette - making machines, the long and short fibre tobaccos are separated, so that both sorts may be fed to the cigarette machine, or the short - fibre tobacco excluded. Tobacco in the hopper a, having a weighted side b, is engaged by an intermittently rotating feedroller d, having cards arranged to point in a direction opposite to that of the rotation of the roller. Above the roller d, a card-roller e rotates, having cards pointing in the direction of rotation, and takes up the long fibre tobacco, the surplus tobacco being scraped off by the equalizing-roller i. The short-fibre tobacco on the roller d is brushed off by a brush-roller f on to an endless band g &c. while the long-fibre tobacco on the roller e is brushed off by a brush-roller h on to an endless band k. The equalizing-roller i is cleared by a brush-roller l. The stream of tobacco on the endless band g is confined to a central portion of the belt by guides, or the marginal portions of the belt are bent up by rollers. The tobaccos fall on to the endless band of the cigarette machine in the trough m so that the short-fibre tobacco constitutes the middle layer. If desired, the band k may be dispensed with and the long-fibre tobacco may fall on to the full width of the endless band g. The tobacco dust in the hopper falls down and is withdrawn at the door c. The band g may be shortened to enable the short - fibre tobacco to be removed before reaching the forming-channel m.
