Granted: 1911-10-24
Abstract: 13,968. Schiessler, J. Oct. 24, 1910. Condensers; transformers; regulating transformers.-As a means of producing, strengthening, or transmitting electric vibrations, primarily for use with telegraphs and telephones, a condenser 1, for example a spirallywound cylindrical condenser, is combined with a coil 5 so that variations in the charge in the condenser induce currents in the coil. As shown, the condenser 1 is placed within the coil 5, but the reverse arrangement may be employed. To enable the inductive action to be varied, the relative positions of the coil and the condenser may be altered by displacement, or by rotating or rocking one member. As shown, the coil 5 is carried by a sleeve 8 upon a hand-operated screw 7, and a scale 10 cooperates with a pointer carried by the sleeve. The condenser and coil may themselves be variable. The device may be employed in several ways, for example, (1) as a transformer; (2) with the coil 5 in series with a condenser forming a Thomson-Duddell circuit in shunt to a variable resistance, the condenser 1 being coupled to the telephone or other indicator; or (3) with the condenser 1 and coil 5 in series and in parallel with the variable resistance.

Granted: 1912-01-04
Abstract: 16,130. Burrage, D. F., and Couldrey & Co., A. July 12. Securing bags. - A method of securing the mouth of a paper bag used in paper-bag cookery consists in attaching a metal strip b at a little distance from and parallel to one edge of the bag by doubling over the edge of the bag and cementing it. The other edge c of the bag thus projects beyond the metal strip. The bag is closed by rolling the top edges round the strip b several times and then bending back the projecting ends b<1>, as shown in the righthand portion of Fig. 1. If the ends of the strip do not project beyond the bag, the closure is made by bending down the ends at rightangles to the main portion of the strip, as shown in Fig. 3. Instead of doubling over the edge of the bag, the strip may be secured in a pocket formed by cementing a strip of paper to the edge of the bag. The strip may consist of metal ends riveted on to a central portion of other material. or a metal wire may be used in place of the strip.

Title: Improved Means for Winding and Tensioning Web Material.
Inventor: WHITE JOSEPH ATWOOD
IPC: B65H18/14
Filed: 1911-02-14
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 17,606. White, J. A. Feb. 14. Feeding webs. - Relates to web feeding and winding apparatus particularly adapted for use with a slitting- machine, such as that described in Specification 3735/11, [Class 31 (i), Cutting and severing machines &c.]. The web passes to the slitting- mechanism A from the roll 11, which is braked by a band 23 connected by a link 22 to one arm 21 of a pivoted frame, the other arm of which carries a roller 18. Should the web become too taut, the roller 18 is depressed against the action of the spring 28, thus slackening the band 23. A hand-lever 29 is provided on the arm 21. The series of narrow webs proceed from the slitting - mechanism over a spreading-device 73 consisting of a number of adjustable resilient surfaces 73<a> which can be arranged, for example as shown in Fig. 8, for separating the paths of three webs which are to be wound on a common spindle. After passing the spreader, the several strips pass between a roller 53 and an endless belt 54 passing around rollers 55, 56, the former of which is adjustable to tighten the belt. The various strips then pass around the rollers 3 or 5, and are wound on spindles 6 or 7, which rest on and are rotated by the rollers 2, 3, and 4, 5, respectively. The rollers 2, 3, 4, 5 are driven bv a belt 51 from the shaft 53, as shown in Fig. 4. The shafts 30, 40 of the rollers 3, 5 carry respectively pulleys 32, 42, around which pass a belt 50, and also the driving-belt 51 driven from the pulley 52 on the shaft 53. Adjacent to the pulleys 32, 42 are pulleys 33, 43, encircled by endless belts 35, 45, which also pass around pulleys 34, 44 on the shafts 31, 41 of the adjacent rollers 2, 4. These belts are kept taut by jockey pulleys 36, 46 held down by counterweights, by adjusting which any degree of slip can be allowed to the rollers 2, 4, by which, owing to the inclination of the guides for the spindles 6, 7, the winding is chiefly effected. The spindles 6, 7 are carried in bearings which slide on inclined guides 58, 59. A heavy roller 60, the pressure of which may be varied by an adjustable counterweight 61, may rest on the paper rolls during winding.

Abstract: 2874. Dick, A. B. Feb. 4. Composing - sticks ; type cases. - Hand apparatus for setting and distributing short grooved type 13, Fig. 5, comprises a composing- stick provided at opposite ends with a typereceiving channel and a type-distributing channel, and adapted to receive, in alinement with the type-channels, a detachable type-high line-holder which can be inserted directly into a chase. The composing-stick, with the lineholder in position, is used in connexion with a type case having parallel type-channels, formed by bars 37, Fig. 10, attached to cross-bars 38, 39, and provision is made to facilitate alinement of the stick with the type-channels of the case in setting and distributing, to pick up the type in setting, and to eject the type in distributing. The stick is formed of sheet metal bent to provide a side wall 1, Fig. 5, and a bottom wall 2, Figs. 3 and 5. At the receiving end of the stick, the type-channel is formed by two tines 3, Figs. 3 and 4, and a block 4; the tines fit over alining-ribs 40, Fig. 10, at the ends of the type-channels of the case, and pick up the lowermost type through cut-away passages 44. At the distributing-end of the stick, the type-channel is formed in a block 5, Figs. 3 and 4, provided with a pointed end 35 for engagement in alinement notches in a cross-bar 42, Fig. 10, on the case; the upper ends of the channel bars 37 of the case are cut at an incline 41 and overlie the cross-bar 42. On the block 5 is pivoted a spring-returned escapement member 28 for ejecting the type; as the stick is inserted into the case for distribution, a depending arm 31 on the member 28 engages a cross-bar 45 on the case, so that the member 28 is rocked to release the lowermost type in the stick. The detachable line-holder is formed of sheet metal bent to provide two side walls 8, 9, Fig. 5, with flanges 10 for engagement in the grooves in the type 13. The side walls are turned over at the ends to provide bearings for a cam-bar 11, Figs. 3 and 5, which bears against the walls 8, 9 and is rotated by means of a loose key 15 to allow the walls to spring inwards and clamp the type, or to spread the walls outwards to release the type. The lineholder is secured in the stick by means of a projection on the block 4 and a spring bolt mounted in the block 5, and is released by means of a hand-lever 22, Figs. 3 and 4. A shield 25 pivoted on the stick overlies the type in the line-holder.
