Title: Improvements in Glass Bevelling Machines.
Inventor: COTTERELL FREDERICK
Filed: 1908-09-28
Granted: 1909-09-23
Abstract: 20,398. Cotterell, F. Sept. 28. Bevelling glass plates. In a machine of the type in which the glass is mounted upon an angularly adjustable table carried by an horizontal reciprocating carriage traversed on guide rails by a screw arrangement, the table is supported at intervals along its length directly under the line of grinding to give greater rigidity, and in addition the grinding - wheels are mounted upon vertically adjustable sleeves, and are counterbalanced by a system of levers and weights so that the grinding pressure may be adjusted. The table 11, Fig. 3, to which the glass is secured by a clamp 49 and screws 48, is pivoted at the front to the carriage 10, and is supported at the rear under the grinding-wheels 72 by a series of levers 42, 42A, Fig. 4. These levers are secured at one end to plates 44 bolted to the underside of the table 11, and at the other end to nuts 39, 40 mounted upon right and left handed screw-threads respectively on a rod 33, which is supported in bearings 34 on the carriage 10 and is turned by a band-wheel 35, to adjust the angular position of the table. The grinding-wheels 72 are driven by vertical spindles 52 supported in bearings 53, and provided with collars 54, 55 to prevent end motion. Each spindle 52 is provided with grooves 60, 61, Fig. 5, which are engaged by keys 62, 63 carried by a sleeve 57, to the lower end of which is secured the grinding- wheel 72. Collars 68, 69 are secured to the keys 62, 63 which fit in dovetailed slots in the sleeve 57. Between the collars 69 is situated a loose collar 70, which runs in ball bearings 71 and which is provided with pins engaging slots in the forked arms of a lever 75. The lever 75 is pivoted to the frame 28, Fig. 3, and is connected by a link 82 to a pivoted lever 80 carrying an adjustable counterweight 81. A collar 83 is secured to the sleeve 57 by a set - screw 85, and is adjusted in position to come into contact with a fixed bracket 58 carried by the frame when the bevel is ground to the requisite width. As the sleeve 57 is moved vertically, any imprisoned air is allowed to escape through apertures 89, 90 provided in the sleeve 57, and in the plate 88 supporting the grinding-disk 72, respectively. Swinging pipes 51 are provided to supply water to the grinding-disks.

Title: Improved Process for Manufacturing Electric Incandescent Lamps.
Inventor: HOPFELT ROBERT
IPC: H01K3/02
Filed: 1909-04-05
Granted: 1909-11-25
Abstract: 8146. Hopfelt, R. April 5. Modifying chemical characters of metals.- Filaments of carbon or metal are freed from hydrocarbons remaining after carbonization, by incandescing them in gaseous phosphorus or arsenic trichloride, or in the corresponding bromides or iodides, optionally diluted with an inert gas such as nitrogen. Tungsten and like filaments are sintered at the same time, and do not require a separate decarbonizing treatment. The process may be carried out by admitting an excess of the gases to exhausted lamps, incandescing the filaments, and re-exhausting. An nddition of nitrogen &c. ennbles a lower vacuum to be used, obviating leakage of air.

Granted: 1910-09-22
Abstract: 22,018. Walker, A. E., Walker, A., and Walker, G. Sept. 27. Weft-replenishing mechanism.-In a weftfeeling device, the detector finger is pressed positively against the bobbin and means are provided to give a second and prolonged pressure to the finger, which is preferably constructed as described in Specification 23,167/04. The finger B, Fig. 4, is pivoted at b to a jointed swing- ing piece C, C<1> in such a manner that it can move sideways to avoid breakage, a spring b<1> retaining it in its normal position. As the lay moves forwards, a roller d<2>, Fig. 2, rolls along the incline e of a fixed plate E; and a bar D is moved against the action of a spring D<1>. A cam d, Fig. 6, is thus caused to act on an incline e, and force the detector finger into contact with the bobbin. The last portion of the motion causes the extra rise d<Î> of the cam d to give a second pressure to the finger, which is held in position by the portion e<2> of the plate E. As the lay returns, the bar D is returned by the incline e<1> and the spring D', a cam d' acting on an incline c<1> to restore the detector finger to its initial position.

Granted: 1910-05-05
Abstract: 23,450. Hallberg, E. J. Nov. 9, 1908, [Convention date]. Feeding sheets.-Relates to sheet-feeding apparatus of the kind in which the top sheet is fed off by a rotating wheel, which is raised as soon as the sheet has been fed a certain distance, a presser-foot being at the same time lowered on to the remainder of the pile. The pile rests on a table 1 supporting, at the front end, two brackets 2 connected by two transverse shafts 3, on which a frame 6 is adjustable by means of a screwed shaft 32 and handwheel 31. To the frame 6 is pivoted a support 7, which can be retained in either position shown by a pin 12 engaging in either of the holes 9, 10 in the sector 8. Loosely mounted in bearings in the support 7 is a vertical rod 13, prevented from turning by a forked arm 16, which carries a rod 14 with a foot 30 and a rod 15 supporting the outer end of the rod 14. Pivoted to the rod 14 is a bell-crank 18 carrying the feed-wheel 22, a spring 23 being provided normally to raise the feed-wheel from the pile. The pressure of the feed-wheel or of the foot 30 upon the pile is determined by a weight 25 sliding on a rod 26, which may be set at any angle and connected by a cord 27 to the rod 14. Toe bell-crank 18 is adjustably connected to a rod 24 controlled by the detecting-mechanism of the apparatus. When the sheet reaches the detecting-mechanism, the rod 24 is moved to the right, thus raising the feed-wheel and allowing the rod 14 to descend until the foot 30 rests on the pile. The sheet is prevented from moving sideways by two pairs of rollers 40 on arms 41.
