Title: Improvements relating to Umbrellas, Walking Sticks, and the like.
Inventor: REDLICH KUNO
IPC: A45B3/16
Filed: 1911-05-03
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 10,727. Redlich, K. May 3. Combined with igniti n g - appliances.- Walking - sticks, umbrellas, &c., of the kind in which the handles are provided with igniting - devices, are provided with an igniting- device in which a volatile liquid is ignited by a spark produced by rubbing a tube containing a pyrophorous substance, such as ceriumiron or ferrocerate, on a surface carried by the handle. The liquid tank is mounted on the end of the stick, and the tube upon a removable tip of the handle. Fig. 1 shows a tank b for benzine, &c. having a sleeve b<1>, which surrounds the stick a, and is secured to it by gypsum or by riveting. Projecting into the tank, which may be filled with cotton or other absorbent agent, is a taper comprising a tube g containing the pyrophorous material, surrounded by asbestos, tinder, cotton, &c. h. The taper is carried by a removable lid f, which may be shaped to accord with the appearance of the umbrella &c. A steel &c. igniting-surface is placed on the outside of the tank b.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Inserting Fasteners or the like.
IPC: A43D69/02
Filed: 1911-05-12
Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 11,545. British United Shoe Machinery Co., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. May 12. [Addition to 28,926/09.] Slugging. - The slugging-machine described in the parent Specification is provided with means for ensuring that the device which controls the length of the slugs and causes them to be presented in predetermined position to the fastener - inserting mechanism is stopped in a predetermined relationship to the mechanism which renders the fastener-inserting mechanism operative or inoperative without stopping it. The fastener-inserting mechanism is operated from a cam disk on the continuously rotating shaft 14, and is rendered operative or inoperative to insert fasteners by altering the position of a cam disk 194 on a cross-shaft 114 driven by worm gear from the shaft 14, the machine being inoperative when in the position shown in Fig. 2, and operative when the disk, having been clutched to the shaft 114, is rotated through about 180 degrees to a position in which a stop 300 on the disk engages a stop 310 on an operating-lever, as described in Specification 20,322/08. The shaft 114 carries a cam disk 110, which has upon it a number of members 108, equal in number to the ratio between the shafts, which control the lengths of the slugs driven. A cam groove 136 in the disk controls the operation of the slug-presenter, and also determines the source from which the slugs are supplied. In the machine described in the parent Specification, one long slug was driven and then five short ones, the machine being so arranged that the driving of the slugs did not commence until the cam member on the disk 110 corresponding to a long slug had been brought by the rotation of the shaft 114 into operative position. To prevent the waste of time due to the predetermined cam member moving into position, the cam disk 110 is made loose on the shaft 114, and is adapted to be stopped in a definite position relative to the cam disk-194. The disk 110 is clutched to the shaft 114 by a spring plunger 454 adapted to enter a number of holes 452 in a disk 450 on the shaft 114, the number of the holes being equal to the ratio of speeds between the shaft 14 and the shaft 114. The plunger is lifted to unclutch the cam disk 110, when the cam 194 is turned to render the fastener - inserting mechanism inoperative, by a wedge 460, which is moved to engage a shoulder on the plunger by connexion from the awl - controlling lever 188 operated by the cam 192 in the cam disk 194. The cam disk 110 is thus stopped in a predetermined position relative to the inoperative position of the cam disk 194.

Abstract: 4500. Willson, H. Feb. 22. Jacks.-A rod having a portion of the rounded surface removed at one end is used to separate two superposed members by a camaction, thus imparting a lifting movement to the upper member. Fig. 5 shows the rod, which has the flat surface 3 formed at one end and is bent at the other end to form an operating- handle. In some cases, an additional portion of the surface may be removed as shown at c, Fig. 7. Fig. 3 shows the two superposed members 1 slidably mounted in a standard to form a lifting-jack. The lower member is recessed on its upper surface so that the end of the rod fits snugly therein with its flattened portion uppermost when the members abut against one another. By rotating the rod so that a portion of the rounded surface is uppermost, the upper member is raised. The rod is shown applied to members not mounted in guides.

Abstract: 8413. Ielfield, F. C. April 9. Postmarking-machines; tripping and like arrangements.-In a postmarking-machine, the letters are fed from an inclined feed table 1 by belts 4, 5, a separating-roller 22, separating- strip 20, and forwarding-roller 38, 39, to a printing-roller 45 driven frictionally from the band 5 but normally held stationary by a pivotally and yieldingly mounted lever 63, retracted at the right time by a link 66 coupled to a lever 65 on the other end of which is pivoted a letteroperated trip lever 69. The inclination of the feed table 1 keeps the letters against the bands 4, 5. The band 4, driven by the hand wheel 6, operates the band 5 through the pulley on the stacker 10, and this band in turn drives the separator wheel 22 pivoted on the arm 27, and a driving-wheel mounted on the hub of the printing-roller 45. The separator wheel 22 has flanges 25 between which a rubber ring 24 is mounted, and which are cut away at one part 26, so that the rubber ring 24 can effectively separate the first letter from the remainder and feed it forward while the rest are held back by the strip 20. The supporting-bar 57 for the stop lever 63 is clamped to posts 40, 58, and so formed as to be somewhat yielding, and thus avoid undue shock to the printing-wheel when it is stopped.

Abstract: 17,867. Tufiaeff, W. A., and Domanewsky, A. Aug. 1. Detonator apparatus. - One or more detonators are fired by pivoted hammers released by an electro-magnet. In a simple form of apparatus for firing one detonator, an armature of an electro-magnet retains a catch which holds a spring-controlled pivoted bammer until the magnet is de-energized. In the two forms of apparatus shown in Figs. 1 and 4 for firing several detonators in succession, spring- driven disks control the firing- hammers. The electro-magnet 25, Fig. 1, when de-energized, releases the clockwork-driven disk 4, which drives the shaft 5 and by link-work rocks the shaft 14 carrying the hammer 23. The star-wheel 20 on a threaded shaft 19 causes the hammer 23 to travel across a series of detonators, which are fired in succession. The detonators are carried in a magazine 34 which is easily replaceable. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 4, a number of hammers 48 are each held by a hook 55, which engages a spring-driven disk 43 having a notch 57. The notches 57 in the series of disks are suitably spaced to release one hammer at a time. The hammers are actuated by springs 49.
