Filed: 1899-03-21
Granted: 1900-02-10
Abstract: 6143. Derbyshire, H. J. March 21. Linotype machines.-Relates to the moulds employed for casting linotypes in the Mergenthaler machine. The matrices L, mould wheel A, metal pot K, slide C, cam-wheel D, and ejector J are of the usual construction. The mould H, Figs. 2, 3, and 5, is provided with a slot H<1> having one wall slightly inclined to receive a wedge-sectioned piece H'. In the act of casting the linotype, the mouth of the metal pot K, Fig. 2, pushes the piece H<2> fully into the mould, but in the subsequent operation of ejecting the cast linotype G, Fig. 3, the movement of the mould wheel A towards the trimming-knives F, F<1> causes the fixed pusher I to move the piece H<2> partly out of the mould slot, so as to release the linotype, which is then passed between the knives F, F<1> by the ejector J. Small recesses in the front part of the mould cause the casting of small lugs G' on the linotype, which prevent any rearward movement as the metal pot withdraws from the mould wheel, and are immediately removed by the trimming-knives. Fig. 9 shows one of the pieces H', inverted, having a removable liner H<9> which can be changed to vary the length of the line. Several linotypes can be cast at one operation by the use of a long mould slot with the piece H<2> provided with dividing-ribs H<4>, Fig. 8. A multiple ejector is employed in this case.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Röntgen-ray Apparatus.
Inventor: DAVIDSON JAMES MACKENZIE
Filed: 1899-04-28
Granted: 1900-03-03
Abstract: 8934. Davidson, J. M. April 28. R÷ntgen-ray apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for producing stereoscopic R÷ntgen pictures. The body to be illuminated is placed between the phosphorescent screen 14 and the two focus tubes 4 and 5, which are excited alternately by two induction coils 1 and 2. The eyes of the observer are placed opposite two openings 7 and 8, which are opened alternately by a shutter or shutters actuated from the same axis as the interrupters of the coils 1 and 2. To obtain the stereoscopic effect, the shutter is so arranged that the eye at 8 sees only the image produced by the tube 4, and the eye at 7 sees only the image produced by the tube 5. A pseudo-stereoscopic effect is obtained by changing the difference of phase between the interrupters of the coils and the shutters of the openings 7 and 8. This may be done by an interchanging-switch as shown in Fig. 11. The interrupters comprise two metallic sectors 50 and 57 mounted, in opposite phase, on the rotating axis 17. The sectors dip alternately in layers of mercury at the bottom of boxes 66 and 67, the mercury being in connection with the terminals 48 and 56. The interchanging-switch consists of four arms 37, 38, 39, 40, which rock on the axis 36, on which are four terminals permanently connected to the interrupters by wires 55, 51, 47. By rocking the axis 36, the ends of the arms 37 &c. dip into mercury cups, on one side or the other of the axis. These mercury cups are connected diagonally by wires in the insulating-baseboard. The cups are in circuit with the primaries of the coils 1 and 2 and the batteries 3 and 60. It is evident that, by rocking the axis 36 to one side or the other, the interrupter which controls the action of a given coil can be changed to the other coil. A modification of the interchanging-switch is described, in which three brushes, bearing on two rings on an insulating-cylinder, are used.

Title: Improvements appertaining to Machines for Combing Wool and other Fibrous Substances.
Inventor: HEY ISHMAEL
Filed: 1901-07-11
Granted: 1902-05-29
Abstract: 14,123. Hey, I. July 11. Combing-m a c h i n e s.- For forcing the fibres down into the teeth of the combs, a series of inclined blades or plates a x, a, b, c are arranged in the positions shown so that they project downwards between the rows of teeth. The blade ax and the outer ones of the series a may be provided with a second set of inclined portions of greater depth than the others, and they may be carried by a pivoted lever t connected with a catch by which the strap fork is maintained in the working position, so that, should any substance be passed beneath the blades which cannot be forced into the comb teeth, the lever t will be raised, the strap fork released, and the machine stopped. The remaining blades are loosely mounted on fixed plates p supported as closely as possible to the points of the comb teeth. The larger number of the blades a may be only sufficiently deep to engage the fibre with the combs, the deeper blades c completing the operation. The inclined edges of the blades may be bevelled or sharpened. Loose discs with slightly-serrated edges may be substituted for the inclined plates. The guard plate h is made of the form shown in Fig. 3, and with an extension or projection h<1>, which prevents the fibres from engaging with the teeth of the small circle until the point of contact between the combs is reached. The depression of the fibre into the outermost rows of teeth may be assisted by the lids of the rising and falling feed-boxes, the cams for operating which are modified so that they begin to rise and fall at an earlier period than usual corresponding to the size and shape of the plate h.
