Title: Improvements in Wire and in the Manufacture therefrom of Coherent Bodies of Refractory Material suitable for use as Glow Bodies or Filaments for Incandescent Electric Lamps.
Filed: 1908-11-26
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 25,557. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Nov. 26. Wire consisting of a powdered refractory material, a metallic binder, and a diluent which during a subsequent heat treatment is acted upon by part of the binder with the formation of a porous substance and a metal, is used to make electric-lamp filaments and the like. The porous substance acts as an absorbent for the metal of the binder when this is liquefied by further heating, and prevents the formation of drops of metal along the filaments; eventually the binder and diluent are volatilized, and the refractory particles sintered together. The refractory material may be for instance tungsten, molybdenum, titanium, or boron. Tungsten may be mixed with finely divided cupric oxide and with an amalgam of bismuth, cadmium, and mercury. Specification No. 7189, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Electric lamps &c.], is referred to.

Granted: 1909-12-16
Abstract: 27,892. Jerram, A. E., Couldbourn, J., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. Dec. 22. Surfacing and polishing.-A buffing or like machine having two rotary rollcarrying shafts is provided with means for reciprocating the shafts endways towards and away from each other in unison, and with means for stopping independently the rotation or reciprocation of either of the shafts. The shafts A<2>, A<3>x, Fig. 3, project through a casing A', which contains the mechanism for reciprocating them, and each at its inner end carries a pulley A<3>, A<3x> to provide for its independent rotation. The ends of the shafts are grooved to engage collars A<4>, A<4x>, trunnioned on pins A<5>, A<5x> carried by floating levers B, Bx, which are pivoted respectively to sliders B<1>, B<1x>, Figs. 3 and 4, arranged parallel to the shafts A<2>, A<2x>. Each lever B, Bx is also connected by a link B<2>, B<2X> to an eccentric B<3>, B<3X> on a shaft B<4>, which is driven from the main shaft of the machine. These eccentrics are arranged to move the shafts in unison when the lower ends of the levers are held stationary. To effect this, slides C, C<x>, recessed at C<1>, C<1x> and adapted to be operated by rods C<2>, C<2x> are arranged in grooves in the casing A<1>. The lower ends of the levers are held stationary when the solid parts of the slides C, Cx are held opposite the ends of the slides B<1>, B<1><x>, which are then held between the slides and adjustable stops. The levers are connected by springs E, which, when the slides C, Cx allow the sliders B<1>, B<1x> to move, hold the upper ends of the levers stationary and so prevent the reciprocation of the shafts A<2>, A<2x>. The pulleys A<3>, A<3x> are connected by independent belts to the main shaft, and each is rendered operative by the movement of an idle pulley Fx, Fig. 2, to tighten its belt. This pulley is carried by one arm F<1x> of a bell-crank, the other arm F<2x> of which forms a handle. A locking-device F<3x>, G<x> holds the handle in the desired position. The slide C<x> is also connected by the rod C'x to the handle F<3x>, so that, when the latter is raised to tighten the belt, the slide C<x> is raised to lock the lower end of the slides B<1x> and the shaft A<2> is reciprocated. Preferably a lost-motion device is provided between the rod C<2x> and the handle F<3x>. The rod passes through a boss Hx on the handle and is furnished with stops H'x, H<2x> and a spring H<3x>. When the machine is thrown out of action, the downward pressure of the handle F<2x> on the spring H<3x> causes a brake Kx connected to the slide C<x> to be applied yieldingly to the shaft A<2x>. The slide C for the shaft A<2> is similarly operated.

The boot is held against a rest consisting of two longitudinally and axially adjustable posts 3, 4, Fig. 1, which may, however, be in the form of a yoke having a single stem. The tack-extracting tool cousists of a serrated member 47, Fig. 2, adjustably secured in a carrier 50, which is pivotally hung from the machine frame and is constantly actuated from an eccentric on a shaft 53. The tack-lifting tool also consists of a serrated member 15 adjustably secured in a pivotally-suspended carrier 18, which is actuated intermittently from an eccentric shaft 24. This shaft is rotated by a spring ball clutch under the control of the operator, who releases it by the depression of a treadle wben the shoe is presented in a position in which a tack is to be lifted. The shaft 24 makes a single revolution and is then stopped automatically, and means are provided to prevent it from rebounding, To co-operate with the tack lifter, there is provided a deflector 26. which is pivoted to a rod 28 adjustably secured in the machine head. The deflector is also connected by a link 31, Figs. 1 and 4, to the carrier 18. In operation, when a tack is lifted by the member 15, its head contacts with the deflector 26 before the completion of the advance movement of the carrier 18, so that the tack will be carried towards the centre of the shoe, as shown in Fig. 4. The tack controller is preferably arranged to move faster than the tack lifter. If desired, the deflector 26 may be provided with a shoulder 32, Fig. 4.
