Title: Improvements in Machines for Producing Sugar Wafers and the like.
Inventor: PETERS FRANK MAX
Filed: 1908-03-09
Granted: 1908-10-22
Abstract: 5332. Peters, F. M. March 9. Moulding biscuits. - A machine for baking sugar wafers &c. comprises a frame partly enclosed by a housing with a flue, and supporting rails 33, 34 on which move continuously rollers 39 mounted on axles 37 attached to the bases 36 of a series of tongs containing the batter. These tongs are arranged in an endless travelling series so as to form a continuous receptacle when horizontal so that batter can be supplied continuously, and consist of a base 36 supporting a plate 41 with lateral flanges 42 and a cover 44 with a plate 49 provided with a transverse downward flange at its front end. The lateral flanges prevent overflow of the batter, and the transverse flange severs the continuous wafer sheet into sections as the tongs pass from the horizontal portion of the upper rails 34. The two parts are unlocked by means of a projection on the rails engaging a star wheel 53 revolubly mounted on the member 36 and turning it so as to disengage a latch 54 from a projection 55 on the member 44. The cover is raised by means of a roller 56 engaging cam rails 59 fixed to the frame, and the baked wafer is removed, and fresh batter is supplied ; the cover is then closed by the rails 59, and locked to the base by another projection turning the wheel 53 and bringing the latch 54 into engagement again. The tongs pass between troughs 61, 62, which overlap flanges of the tongs and enclose gas-burners 63, connected by pipes 64 to a gas-supply pipe 65, and an air-supply pipe 66, joined to a mixer 67 suitably operated. The batter is continuously supplied to the tongs by a pump 74 communicating with a batter receptacle 72 by a pipe 75 and with the tongs by a pipe 76 ending in a flat portion 77 supporting the spraying-valves 78, which spread the batter in a continuous sheet across the base 36. Each of these valves comprises a cylindrical casing 79 with an annular lip 80 and a valve 81 conforming to the lip 80 and controlled by a screw head 84, which is prevented from moving vertically by a screw 86 projecting into an annular recess 85 ; a screw 87 projects into a vertical recess 38 in the valve 81 and locks it against rotary motion. Excess of batter is returned to the tank 72 by a by-pass valve 88 and pipe 89.

Title: Improvements in Warp Stop Motions for Looms for Weaving.
Inventor: COOK JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-03-10
Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 5347. Cook, J. W., [trading as Cook & Co.], and Potter, J. O. March 10. L o o m stop - motions ; healds.-In a warp stopmotion in which the healds act as detectors, the healds 1, Fig. 1, have elongated slots to receive .the top bar 4 and notched bars 9, 10, 11, Fig. 3. When the healds are depressing the warps, they are normally clear of the notches in the bars 9, 10, 11, but when a warp is broken, the corresponding heald falls and prevents longitudinal motion of the bar 10, which is adapted to slide between the bars 9, 11 under the control of a spring 17. As the heald frame descends, the bevelled end 12 of the bar 10 turns a lever 13 and pulls a wire 16, thus moving a catch on the lay into such a position that it strikes the knock-off handle and stops the loom. In order that the bar 10 may clear the lever 13 when the heald frame rises, the lever 13 either is made with a knucklejoint, or its bevelled end is extended so that the bar 10 does not pass below it. In a modification, shown in Fig. 5, healds 20 made of cotton, wire, or other flexible material are of such a length that, when the warps are intact, the slotted pieces 21 lie clear of the notches in the bars 9, 10, 11 while the healds are depressing the warps. The notched bars may be arranged at the top of the heald frame. According to the Provisional Specification, there is only one stationary bar, which may be U-shaped so that it surrounds the movable bar.

Granted: 1909-06-10
Abstract: 13,231. Newsome, E. L., and Newsome, M. June 22. Astronomical games.-The movements of the planets around the sun is imitated in a game played upon a board, table, or other playing-surface marked out with circles and radial lines as shown in Fig. 1. The centre circle J represents the sun and each of the other circles represents the orbit of a planet. The radial lines K represent weeks, and the lines X lunar months, of the earth's revolution round the sun. Holes L are made at the points of intersection of the lines and circles for the reception of the playing-pieces. A line P, which passes through the points where some of the lines and circles intersect, represents the path of a comet. The playing-pieces consist of a peg M, Fig. 2, bearing a symbol to indicate the planet it represents, the earth being represented by a hemisphere having a pivoted arm bearing a small sphere representing the moon. A part O of the board is formed as a smooth ball-race having a series of numbered holes at the end towards the centre of the board. The players strike balls with a cue and if a ball rolls into a hole the player moves his planet forward by the number of the hole. Instead of balls and cues, counters and flippers, a roulette, or dice may be used to determine the move. Each piece starts from the line Z, and the player whose piece first reaches the goal wins the game. The goals of the various pieces are the lines 3, 4, 5, 6, V and W. The game may be played outdoors on a ground laid out to form the playing-surface, and the players compete with balls and sticks, or bowl round the circles, the balls being intercepted by holes and hazards.

Abstract: 5698. Fowler, R. H., and Tuer, G. S. March 9. [Addition to 8640/08.] Gearing with provision for permitting flexure or distortion.- Relates to road locomotives of the kin d described in the parent Specification and i n Specification 14,242/92, in which the rear axle is driven through a movable intermediate shaft in order to allow play of the springs, and consists in fixing the intermediate shaft with regard to the driving- shaft, allowing play by the movement of the rear axle only. Figs. 1 and 2 show elevations of the driving-gear. The intermediate shaft a is connected to the rear axle b by a horn plate c slotted at e to allow substantially vertical play to the axle bearing f, which is formed with a lug h by which it is pivoted at i to the horn plate. The gear-wheel, k rotates on a boss d on the horn plate and is connected by cranked pins m with an intermediate-wheel n which carries the driving-pinion of the differential gear. The rear axle is thus allowed a certain amount of play in the slot e, and the cranked pins enable this to occur without disturbing the gear. In a modification, the rear axle is mounted eccentrically in its bearing which can turn in the horn plate. In a second modification, shown in Fig. 5, the bearing f<1> can rotate in an eccentric slot r in the bush q on which the gear-wheel k is mounted. Specification 890/68 is also referred to.
