Title: Improvements in Paper Tube Rolling Machines.
Inventor: KELLNER WALTER
IPC: B31C1/00
Filed: 1911-03-31
Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 8116. Kellner, W. March 31. Paper tubes.-In a machine f o r winding paper tubes, paper is drawn from a roll through a preliminary glueing - device 11 of ordinary construction, by rollers 9, 12. The strip is severed by a cutting- device comprising two members 13, 13<a>, the member 13 being pivoted and oscillated by a cam 14. The severed portion is pressed on to a table by a cam-operated lever 17, and is adjusted on the table with its edge against a fixed guide 22 by a reciprocating member 19 operated by a cam 20. The paper is then seized by a gripper 23 and inserted lengthways into a hollow longitudinally - slotted winding-mandrel 24, intermittentlv rotated by quadrant gear. The gripper is reciprocated by links 27, 28, 29 and a crank-disk 30. The gripper has a spring- closed pivoted jaw 26. At one end of the stroke it is opened by a camoperated lever 33 and held open by a spring catch 36, which is released by striking a fixed projection at the other end of the stroke. A duplex rotary brush 47, 48 is mounted parallel to the mandrel. One brush is fed with glue by an oscillating spoon-plate 50 and glues the tube during winding. The other brush serves to smooth down the outside of the tube. Excess of glue is removed by a plate 53 mounted on oscillating arms 54. The finished tube is doffed by a finger 57, which is connected to a cable passing over pulleys 60, 61, and reciprocated by the gripper 23 to which the cable is attached.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Contact Conductors of Electric Traction Systems.
Inventor: DUDDELL WILLIAM DU BOIS
IPC: B60M1/24
Filed: 1911-12-23
Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 15,597. Duddell, W. du B., and Partridge, G. W. Dec. 23. Insulators.-The conductor sections on electric traction systems are insulated from each other by a flexible chain, the links being made of conducting-pieces which are insulated from each other. On the passage of the collector, small arcs form between the links but the number of links is sufficient to cause the arcs to go out before the collector reaches the next section. Fig. 2 shows a plan of one construction, porcelain insulators i separating the links. In order to pass the insulators through the centre links, these links have their slots widened in the centre thus enabling the insulator to be passed through and then drawn into place near the ends. To distribute the strain on the insulators, a thin steel tube covered with a layer of hemp soaked in tallow is driven into the central hole and the securing-bolt passed therethrough. In a modified construction, a number of short metal cylinders are threaded on a rod or tube of insulating-material or otherwise insulated to leave gaps between them. Specification 11,346/08 is referred to.

Inventor: TRITSCH JULIUS
IPC: B65D55/06
Filed: 1911-10-23
Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 23,358. Tritsch, J. Nov. 12, 1910, [Convention date]. Seals. - In fasteners for boxes, casks, &c., of the kind in which a metal strip or plate connects parts of the box which must be separated when opening, any illicit opening of the box &c. is detected by means of easily lacerable washers, which are inserted into openings in the metal strips and secured to the box by nails. As shown in Fig. 1, the metal strip 3 is folded upon itself and partly secured to the lid 1 and side 2 of a box by prongs 4, while the lacerable washers 5 are inserted in openings 6 in the strips and secured therein by nails 7. These nails may have undercut heads in order to prevent a driving chisel or the like from being employed to loosen them. The washers 5 may also be inserted loosely in the strips 3 so that, on attempting to draw out the nails by raising the strips 3, the washers slip out of the strips and remain suspended on the nails. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also nails provided with soft-metal heads which are easily deformable and may bear an impression, such as the name of the forwarder. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Processes for Extracting and Recovering Tartaric Acid in the Form of Potassium Bitartrate from Tartaric Materials.
IPC: C07C51/41
Filed: 1912-01-31
Granted: 1913-01-09
Abstract: 2552. Cantoni, Chautems, et Cie, and Degrange, E. Feb. 25, 1911, [Convention date]. Potassium bitartrate.-In the manufacture of potassium bitartrate, the raw tartar materials are extracted both with alkali and with acid solutions. A potassium salt such as the chloride is then added to the alkaline extract, and oxalic acid is added to the acid liquid, the extracts being then mixed. Potassium bitartrate is precipitated from the mixed solutions and finally refined. In a modification, a portion of the raw material may be extracted with alkali and a separate portion with acid, the solutions being mixed as before. When calcium tartrate is absent from the raw materials, the addition of oxalic acid and a potassium salt is omitted.

Patent GB-191204919-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Wire Feeding Devices adapted for use in Machines for Making and Driving Fasteners or Staples in the Soles of Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: COUPAL PETER AMABLE
IPC: A43D69/04
Filed: 1912-02-27
Granted: 1913-02-27
Abstract: 4919. Coupal, P. A. Feb. 27. Stapling.-In a boot-stapling machine, the wire passes from a reel 127 through a passage in a rocker-arm 131 and then through a wire guide having a flaring entrance bounded by two converging walls leading to a straight passage formed in the guide. A gripper-rod 135 slides in the rocker-arm 131, and is adapted to grip the wire at intervals by pressing it against an adjustable screw-threaded plug 136 in the end of the rocker-arm. The arm 131 .is fast to a sleeve 137, which passes through and is journaled in a second sleeve 138, the sleeve 138 being journaled in a bearing 139 on the head casting of the machine frame. The sleeve 138 is connected to an adjustable spring 141 which tends to turn it to hold the rocker-arm 131 against a stop-arm 146 attached to the sleeve 138. The sleeve 138 is connected through a rocker-arm 147, a link 148, and a bell-crank lever 151, 153 with a link 154, which is connected at its lower end with the treadle which works the horn. The position of this treadle varies in accordance with the thickness of the stock on the horn, and so the position of the stop-arm 146 is correspondingly varied. The gripper-rod 135 has a bevelled upper end which is engaged by the bevelled end of a rod 159, which passes through the sleeve 137 and at its other end enters a hole 160 in a cam lever 161. An adjustable abutment 162 for the end of the rod is screwed into the lever by an arm 163, which is adapted to be held locked in position when the abutment is satisfactorily adjusted by a pin 164 mounted on a spring 165. The cam lever is rocked by a cam 168 to move the rod 159 towards the front of the machine, thus causing the rod 135 to grip the wire. While the wire is gripped, the arm 131 is rocked from the position in which it is held by the stop 146 towards the wire guide by the action of a cam 171 on an arm 169. The wire is thus drawn from the reel, which is at the same time positively rotated by the movement of a spring- pressed shoe 172 engaging its rim, due to its connexion with an eccentric 183. The wire is gripped during the backward movement of the feed-arm and the reel by a wire-locking device in the wire guide, operated in a similar manner to the wire-gripping device in the arm 131. The operating-rod 189 for the wire lock extends into a hole in the lever 161 and is provided with an abutment having its adjusting arm 194 locked by a pin 195 fast to a spring 196. A spring 191 causes the gripping-device at all times to grip the wire lightly. When it is desired to remove one coil of wire and to introduce a fresh one, the springs 165, 196 are pressed down and the arms 163, 194 turned upwards, thus freeing both the wire grips. The wire is then only held by the action of the spring 191 and so may be readily removed.
