Patent GB-190921940-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Electric Clock Winding Mechanism.
Inventor: GRAY JOHN
IPC: G04C1/08
Filed: 1909-09-25
Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 21,940. Gray, J., [Seabolt, F. J.]. Sept. 25. Winding - apparatus, electric. - A weight or spring driven clock, in which motion is communicated to the going- train by means of a chain or cord, is periodically wound by an electromotor, which is automatically brought into action. In the arrangement illustrated, an endless chain 15, passing over a sprocket - wheel 10, which is the first wheel of the clock train, and over a sprocket 14 which is rotatable by the electromotor 13, forms two loops supporting pulleys, of which one, 19, is connected to a driving-weight 18, and the other, 20, is connected by a cord 21 to a switch which controls the motor. The switch comprises a rotary drum 22 having a part 26 of its surface made of insulating-material, on which a spring contact-finger 28 normally rests, the insulating-part being separated by an inclined flange 27 from a conducting-part 25. A spring or its equivalent tends to turn the drum so as to wind the cord 21 upon it. As the clock-train is driven, the pulley 19 descends, and, the sprocket 14 being stationary, the pulley 20 ascends, and the drum is rotated by the pull of the cord 21 until the finger 28 springs on to the conducting - surface 25. The motor then begins to run, the sprocket 14 rotating and raising the weight 18. At the same time, the pulley 20 descends, while the rotation of the drum is reversed by its spring, until the finger 28 snaps past the end of the flange 27 on to the insulating - portion, and stops the motor by breaking the circuit. If the current fails, the weight continues to descend until it reaches a ledge 33. The finger 28, having by that time left the insulating-surface, the motor circuit remains closed when the clock stops, so that rewinding commences as soon as the current supply is restored. The driving-weight 18 may be replaced by a spring. Specification 6562/08 is referred to.

Title: A Method of Manufacturing Brilliant, Frosted or Patterned Layers or Coatings from Acetyl Cellulose.
Inventor: EICHENGRUEN ARTHUR
IPC: D06N3/02
Filed: 1910-02-28
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 4959. Eichengr³n, A. April 15, 1909, [Convention date]. Coating-compositions; coating webs; ornamenting. - Fibrous materials are coated with layers of acetyl-cellulose by spreading a solution, with or without softening-agents, on surfaces of flexible materials, such as tin, metal paper, waxed cloth, &c., and bringing the material to be coated into contact with the acetyl-cellulose, which automatically detaches itself from the tin or other base. The base may have a brilliant, frosted, or patterned surface, in which case the acetyl-cellulose layer has the same appearance. By using as a base patent leather, or leather coated with a thin layer or hard resin, and transferring the acetyl-cellulose layer to a hide, the hide acquires the appearance of the leather. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) describes the production of coatings of acetyl - cellulose on paper, cloth, leather, wood, metal, stone, &c. by the use of the solutions described in Specification 1441/10. The solutions may contain cold-acting solvents such as acetone &c., or non-dissolving liquids such as water, glycerine, &c. The coated articles may be given a high polish by pressing them against brilliant surfaces or by satinating them by means of polished or patterned rollers. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 5263. Lewis, W. W. March 2. Cartridges of materials; wick-feed generators; check valve in liquid supply. - The absorbent wick e of a wick-feed generator is hollow so as to allow for expansion of the carbide while ensuring a free flow of water throughout the length of the wick. The wick conveniently consists of a sheet of unsized paper folded to form an open-ended parallelopiped, and may form part of a cartridge d, Fig. 7, preferably collapsible, a portion e<1> of the wick projecting. The cartridges are held in an open-sided container f, Fig. 3, the flap e<1> of the wick being passed through a slot f<2>, and resting in a depression f<3> formed in the lower part of the container. The container is slid into the generating-chamber b, Fig. 1, and the water passes from the enclosing water-chamber a through the valve h, and aperture c on to the projection e<1>. This arrangement is automatic, as an increase in pressure in the generating-chamber tends to close the flap e<1> over the aperture c. The valve h is operated by a lever or thumb-screw i through suitable mechanism.

Abstract: 5672. Newton, P. A., [Hoe & Co., R.]. March 7. Folding paper.-A rotary folder of the kind in which a blade tucks a sheet into jaws on a rotary carrier is so constructed that one of the jaws is given a movement so as to straighten the fold after it is formed. As shown a tucking-blade 14 tucks the sheets into jaws 8,10 mounted on cam-operated shafts 7, 9 in a rotary carrier 5. When the fold is formed by the closing of the jaws 8, 10 on the sheet; the part 17 of the sheet which is gripped between the jaws is bent at an angle to the rest of the sheet. To straighten this out, the sheet is released by the opening of the jaws, and the jaw 10 is moved forwards as shown in Fig. 6 to straighten out the part 17 of the sheet. During the straightening operation the sheet is preferably held by grippers 18 moved by cam-mechanism from the position shown in Fig. 5 to the position shown in Fig. 6, the grippers acting in conjunction with an abutment 19 which projects into recesses in the jaw 10. The folded sheets are delivered to a gripper cylinder or by strippers to a belt, and they may be slit during delivery.

Granted: 1910-12-22
Abstract: 20,475. Zeiss, C., [Firm of]. Sept. 6, 1909, [Convention date]. Spectacle lenses cut out eccentrically to produce a prismatic effect have the Wollaston or periscopic form, whereby the glass can receive a position relatively to the eye in which, on the one hand, its anastigmatic property is utilized, and on the other hand, the diameter of its edge, which lies in the plane of the prismatic effect, intersects the principal line of vision approximately at right-angles. Fig. 1 shows a glass for the correction of a myopic eye, the power in the direction of the optical axis being 5 diopters. The glass index nD is 1À52. The thickness d along. the optical axis is 0À5 mm. The length l of this axis between the glass and the point 0 where the lines of vision intersect is 25 mm. The outer radius r1 is 27À5 mm., and the inner radius r2 21À7 mm. To obtain a deflexion u0 of the principal line of vision (which passes through the centre of the glass and intersects the optical axis in o) of 3-4 degrees, the optical axis receives an inclination v of 30À7 degrees relatively to the principal line of vision. The horizontal diameter of the edge by which the glass is to be mounted is shown as the dotted line a-b, intersecting the principal line of vision at right-angles. A glass for a hypermetropic eye is also described.
