Abstract: 12,861. Buchanan, A. May 29. Pencil-sharpeners. - In pencil-sharpeners of the kind in which the pencil is rotated by hand and sharpened by means of a reciprocating cutter, (1) the pencil is supported on an inclined bed or anvil, (2) the pencil-holder is pivoted so as to move in an horizontal plane and to present the pencil at varying angles to the cutter, whereby the pencil can be sharpened to different degrees, (3) a file, which can be brought into operation when required, is used for completing the sharpening of the lead, and (4) resilient means are provided for preventing chattering of the pencil. The cutter holder a, Fig. 1, having a removable blade b, slides backwards and forwards on two rods c, d, and is hinged to the rod d. The cutting-edge of the blade b is set at about 45 degrees to the direction of movement of the holder, and with a slight lateral inclination to give the requisite taper to the pencil. The holder for the pencil comprises a split gripping-tube i, Fig. 6, having two conical faces k, l adapted to co-operate with corresponding faces in two screw-connected sleeves m, n. The sleeve m is mounted in a carrier o, Fig. 1, pivoted at p to the base q so that the holder may be inclined at any desired angle; and the sleeve n is rotatable by a thumbpiece r to cause the tube i to grip the pencil securely through the conical faces k, l. While the cutter is being reciprocated the sleeve m is rotated in the carrier by means of the boss s. In order to finish off the sharpening of the lead, a file is carried on the cutter holder a, and can be brought into operation by pressing it downwards against the action of a spring, which normally retains it in the inoperative position. For the purpose of avoiding chattering of the pencil, the anvil or rest t may be spring-supported, or a yielding pressure may be brought to bear upon the pencil by means of a bar y, Fig. 2, influenced by a spring 2. One end 3 of this spring may be utilized to press down a latch 4, Fig. 1, into one of a series of notches 5 in the carrier, and so retain the carrier in anv set position.

Title: Improvements in the Expression Controlling Means of Mechanical Musical Instruments.
Inventor: WHITE FRANK CORNWELL
Filed: 1913-01-07
Granted: 1914-01-07
Abstract: 468. White, F. C. March 15, 1912, [Convention date]. Expression, controlling; blowing and exhausting air.-A governor bellows is provided with two or more valves controlling separate channels connecting the interior of the governor bellows and exhaust, and adapted to close in succession as the governor bellows collapses. Some of the channels are normally closed by valves which are adapted to be opened by means controlled either manually or by the tune-sheet. The tension of the air operating the striking-pneumatics may thus be varied. For loud effects, an ungoverned connexion to exhaust may be opened. The action A is connected by a pipe C to the bellows E which communicates with a partitioned chamber H. A spring G tends to expand the bellows E. Ports M, M<1>, M<11>, M<111> connect the various compartments of the chamber H to a chamber D, which is connected by a pipe C' to the exhausting - apparatus B. The ports connecting the partitioned chamber H with the bellows E are controlled by valves I, I<1>, I<11>, and I<111>, which tend to close under the action of springs J and are connected by catgut K, K<1>, K<11>, and K<111> to screws L, L<1>, L<11>, and L<111> carried by the moving-board of the bellows E. By rotating a screw L, the position of the corresponding valve can be adjusted. As the bellows E collapses, the valves I successively close their ports. When the valves N<1>, N<11>, N<111> are closed, air is drawn from the windchest A through the bellows E, the port controlled by the valve I, and the port M. To play more loudly, a tune-sheet aperture exposes the duct S<1>, causing the diaphragm O<1> to expand and open the valve N'. Still louder effects are produced by the tune-sheet exposing the ducts S<11> or S<111> to operate the valves N<11> or N<111>. Very loud effects are produced when the valve U is opened by the exposure of the duct X, an ungoverned connexion being established between the action and exhaust. If the apparatus is controlled manually, the performer admits air to the ducts S, X by moving his fingers.
