Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines
Inventor: BAMBERGER JUSTIN WILHELM
Filed: 1908-07-17
Granted: 1908-11-26
Abstract: 15,199. Bamberger, J. W. July 17,1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Typewriters.-In a typewriter having a circumferentially perforated rotatable type-disk a carrying type on its under surface and capable of being depressed on the paper for making the impression, the pin or the like h, which coacts with the perforations to guide the vertical movement of the disk, is mounted displaceably in order to allow of writing two or more sets of characters ; or the pin may be fixed and the type-disk movable. The small and capital letters &c. are arranged side by side on the type-disk, but only one index character and one perforation is provided for each pair of letters. The pin h is fixed to a slide 57 mounted on a rod 59, and is movable to the extent of half the distance between two perforations by a lever 66. The small letters are written as usual, but the lever 66 is depressed before writing a capital. If the pin h is movable to both sides, three sets of characters may be used.

Title: Improvements in Self-acting Mules.
IPC: D01H3/12
Filed: 1908-10-08
Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 21,238. Fine Cotton Spinners' and Doublers' Association, [LifÞvre, P.]. Oct. 8. [Patent of Addition to No. 3936, A.D. 1908.] Mules -Relates to the means described in Specification No. 3936, A.D. 1908, for retaining the counterfaller in its elevated position until the winding- faller is passing the spindle point, and then depressing it, so as to keep the yarn tight and to prevent the coiling of snarls on the spindle blade. A pawl .bracket E is loose upon the counterfaller shaft and is connected with a weighted lever F, which is elevated by an incline during the outward run and is retained in its elevated position during the inward run by a pawl lever H. During the winding of the yarn upon the spindle blade, the connexion between the fallers is suppressed by the means described in Specification No. 9344, A.D. 1908, so that the counterfaller is retained in its highest position and tension is maintained in the yarn. When the winding-faller rises to the spindle point, a snug m secured to the faller shaft operates a snug k<1> connected with the pawl H and releases the weighted lever F and so lowers the counterfaller by a pawl on the bracket E, which,engages a ratchet sector D secured to the counterfaller shaft. The pawl is withheld from the ratchet by a spring during the winding of the yarn on the cop.

Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 21,429. Creassey, F. Oct. 10. Lace machines.-Bobbins or spools are dispensed with, the thread being wound directly on to a bobbin-equivalent, which is permanently retained in the carriage. In one form the bobbin-equivaleut 5, which has a squared central hole to fit the winding-spindle, is carried between a recessed plate 1 and a thinner cover-plate, both shaped to the usual outline of a carriage. The recess 2 may be open at one or both sides. In another form, Figs. 4 and 5, two cover-plates 11, 12 are riveted to a central spacing-piece 10, open at one side. Or two recessed plates 13, 14 may be riveted together without the use of a spacing-piece. In another arrangement, the bobbin equivalent 17, Fig. 7, is permanently attached to a recessed carriage plate 15, which is rotated for winding purposes. The thread 21 passes over the edge of the flange 19 and through the central eye 18 and an upper eye 20 The flange 19 may be detachable.

Granted: 1909-10-14
Abstract: 22,082. Soc. Anon. d'Exploitation des Brevets Cubilot A. Baillot. Jan 8, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Metallurgical furnaces.-A shaft furnace for smelting iron is connected with a furnace b heated at the beginning of the operation by solid fuel which is completely consumed before molten metal flows from the shaft furnace, so that a more complete decarbonization of the charge may be effected. Means are provided for deviating part of the blast to the furnace b. The air is heated in an annular partitioned chamber m, and passes through a pipe l to the blast chamber and to a pipe g leading to the furnace b. Fuel is charged through an opening e and ignited after removing a door i opposite a passage e near the bottom. The door is then closed, as well as the damper k controlling the inlet to the blast chamber of the shaft furnace, and blast is supplied to the furnace b by opening the damper h, the products of combustion escaping through the opening c. When a sufficient temperature is obtained in the chamber b, and the solid fuel has been consumed, the damper k is opened, and, as soon as drops of metal appear, the damper h is closed and the passage e plugged. [Reference has been directed under Section 7 of Patents &c. Act, 1907, to Specifications No. 16, A.D. 1864, No. 10,206, A.D. 1887, and No. 14,376, A.D. 1899, [Abridgment Class Iron &c.], and No. 9974, A.D. 1902.]

Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 10,766. Soc. Alsacienne de Constructions MÚcaniques. June 22, 1908, [Convention date]. Combing-machines. - In Heilmann combing- machines, the drawing-off mechanism is given the usual reciprocating swinging movement by means of two cams independent of one another instead of by a single cam as usual. One cam produces the main movement, and the other the shorter movement which brings the rollers and the top comb into contact. Various arrangements of the cam mechanism are described. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the cam R produces the main movement and the cam S the shorter or supplementary movement. The cams may be mounted on the same or separate shafts, and may be designed so that both the rollers T<1>, O<1> are in contact with their cams throughout a revolution, or so that they are in contact only when their respective cams are operative.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Cement from Blast Furnace Slag.
Inventor: METZGER GUSTAVUS FERDINAND
IPC: C04B7/14
Filed: 1909-06-29
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 15,164. Metzger, G. F. June 29. Slag cements.-A slag cement is made by producing a slag containing the ingredients necessary for a cement, and by adding to this, as it leaves the furnace, sufficient water to cause the reaction to take place and to granulate the slag. The desired chemical composition of the slag is obtained by adding a suitable fluxing-stone. For a general cement the flux must have a composition of lime approximately 98À32 per cent, silica À6 per cent, alumina and iron À7 per cent, and magnesia À38 per cent. For a seawater-resisting cement, the flux must have a composition of lime 53 per cent, silica 5 per cent, alumina and iron 2À6 per cent, and magnesia 39À4 per cent. If necessary, separate ingredients are added in the furnace to make up deficiencies.
