Abstract: 6808. Dudgeon, H. A. March 31. Work-holders.-Relates to a self-contained magnetic work-holder which moves on guides attached to the frame of the grinding or analogous machine and is provided with an adjustable atop B to limit the approach of the work to the grinding-surface. The work is held against the plate C<3> by one or more permanent magnets. E secured to the carrier C, which turns upon a shank C' and may be secured in any position by a clamping-screw C<2>. A suitable index is formed on the carrier C or the base-plate A in order that the work may be set to grind a facet at any required angle. A peg D is provided to hold the carrier with its face C3 at right-angles to the face A' of the base A. A horizontal rest H, which can be adjusted outwards by a screw H<1> and side stops G adjustable in slots C<4>, are provided to position the work and help to hold it. If a flat surface is to be ground, the face C<3> can be trued by the grindstone and then the face of the work ground parallel to it. A second form of carrier, Fig. 6, is described in which the magnets E are partially insulated from the magnetic material of which the carrier K is composed. A ball K<2> attached to the carrier fits in a suitable recess in the base-plate.

Abstract: 16,184. Antoni, E. J. Aug. 9. Upholstery stuffing-apparatus. -In a machine for filling and compressing mattresses, power is transmitted through shafts B to ropes x raising upper carriages W from the receptacle F, the carriages being then moved to the rear of the machine on bars w<4>. The required amount of material is placed in the receptacle F on plates M, M', and the carriages W are moved forward and lowered, the plates P, P<1>, which are carried thereon, resting on the stock. The sides of the receptacle F are moved together slightly by cranks h, the gate f<2> being adjustable for that purpose. The material is then compressed by power applied through a shaft y<4> and bevel-gear y<2>, the material being compressed equally at each end by means of racks y<14> communicating by gear v<1>. The outer end of the space between the plates is closed by an adjustable head-block T. The end gate f<2> is removed, and the tick or cover attached to clamps L on racks I, and the operation of a clutch causes power to be communicated to the racks, moving them to the rear of the machine, thus drawing the tick over the plates P, P', M, M'. At the end of the travel, the clutch is automatically disengaged and the motion stopped. The racks y<14> are then raised, and power is communicated through shafts N, P<2> to the carriages W, D, moving them rearwardly on suitable rails, along with the sides of the receptacle F, and drawing the plates P, P', M, M' out of the tick, the upper plates moving on a platform C. At the same time, a canvas apron 0 is caused to unroll from a roller o', and receives the mattress on its surface. The apron is afterwards rewound, the parts returned to the forward part of the machine, and the gate f replaced. Means are provided for use in adapting the machine for the manufacture of a narrow mattress, by which the various parts aie laterally adjustable.

Granted: 1907-04-25
Abstract: 15,761. Hidout, A. R. July 12. Sweeping. - machines. - The obliquity of the brushes of a rotary brush machine may be reversed, so that the mud &c. may be swept from one side of a road to the other continuously by reversing the angle of the brush every time the machine is turned round. The brush a is suspended by links c' from antifriction rollers c<4>, which run on limited arcs d<2> on a turntable d forming part of the vehicle frame. The brush frame is turned by a central stem f having a hand-wheel, or, according to the Provisional Speciflication, by equivalent means which can be operated by the driver while walking. Prior to reversal, the brush is prefer- ably raised from the ground, this being effected by a hand-lever x, by which the frame c can be turned about the suspension pivots c<5>. The rollers c' are locked in position by fixed stops d<3> and movable catches g, the latter being carried by an arm g<3>, which is pivoted at g<4> and is under the driver's control. The brush is chain-driven from the reversible shaft e which carries a bevel-wheel j adapted to gear with one or other of two bevel- wheels on the running-axle, so that the brush in each of its positions turns in the proper direction for sweeping.

Granted: 1907-11-20
Abstract: 23,334. Coolidge, W. D. May 9, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Boron.-Filaments suitable for electric lamps are made of boron or other refractory element by incorporating it with an amalgam and subsequently removing the amalgam. The process is described with regard to tungsten, which is mixed with a cadmium-mercury amalgam, and, after forming into wire, heated by current in a vacuum nr in hydrogen to volatilize the amalgam. The squirted wire may be made finer by a draw-plate before being heated. The heating should take place gradually to avoid over-rapid expulsion of the amalgam, the temperature finally being raised to sinter the filament.

Abstract: 14,460. Kennedy, H. P. June 22. Calks.-Toe and heel calks are made readily renewable. The toe calk 3, preferably a triangular prism, extends through a rectangular orifice 5 in a retaining-plate 4, which is formed with lugs 7, 8, a toe lip 9, and a lip extending up the inner wall of the shoe. The orifice 5 is not large enough to allow the lugs 7, 8 to fit down against the under surface of the shoe, so that the calk may be tightened by means of screws which pass through an orifice in the lug 7 and a slot in the lug 8 respectively and extend into threaded holes in the shoe. The heel calks are similar, and may be arranged longitudinally or transversely. The plates 16 have flanges 17, and the calks are fixed by screws 18. With rectangular calks, Fig. 4, the held of the calk is formed with outwardly sloping sides 20. In a modification, Fig. 5, one of the screws is dispensed with, and in place of it the lip 27 fits into a recess under a depressed portion 29 in the shoe. Fig. 7 shows a form of heel calk in which one of the screws is dispensed with. A flange 34 fits on the bevelled heel of the shoe, and a lateral recess 38 in the shoe receives the ridge 37 and prevents the plate from moving backwards. The triangular calk may be turned when worn to present a fresh wearing edge.

Abstract: 1 8 , 5 9 3. Aktiebolaget Gerh. Arehns Mekaniska Verkstad. Aug. 20, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Box-making machines.-In matchbox-making machines, in which the veneer and connecting paper strip are folded around an intermittently rotated matrix 1, Figs. 1 and 3, the rotary motion of the matrix is reduced to one revolution, the end 19 of the paper strip being pressed down by the movement of the pressure roller 10 along the side of the matrix in an opposite direction to the rotation of the matrix. The roller 10 is carried by the swing- ing arm 11 pivoted at 12 to the arm 13, and its position is thus controlled by the cams 15, 17 and the springs 14, 18. The arm 11 may be vertical or otherwise, provided the movement effected by the pivot 12 is in a plane parallel to the matrix side on which the paper 19 is to be pressed. The arm 13 may be replaced by a rotatory disk, or the arm 11 may have a longitudinal slot engaged by a stationary pin on which the arm can slide. When inner boxes are made, the paper strip must be turned over the top edges. This is effected by means of a groove in the matrix in which the paper is pressed by means of a rounded flange on the roller 10.
