Abstract: 24,508. Schultze, G. F. W. Nov. 5. Race games.- Relates to the type of game in which figures are driven by clock-work round a circular course to represent a horse race &c. The apparatus is released ready for use by the insertion of a token into one of the slots 44, Fig. 1, each of which corresponds with one of the racing figures 19. Should the token be inserted in the slot corresponding with the winning figure, it will be returned at the end of the race into a receptacle 56<1>. The figures are mounted on the ends of arms 17, Fig. 2, the opposite ends of which engage irregular cams 29, Figs. 2 and 7, mounted on a shaft 31 supported upon a frame 32 fixed to a central shaft 22 rotated by clockwork. The shaft 31 is fitted with a star-wheel 36, one arm of which strikes a fixed projection 37 every revolution of the shaft 22 and causes the cams 29 to rotate. The arms 17 are held against the cams 29 by springs 33, so that as the cams rotate the arms 17 move irregularly with respect to one another and cause the figures at the opposite end to take the lead successively. The descent of the token releases the winding-spindle 24<1> and allows the player to wind the clock-work by means of the handle 26'. The figures then travel several times round the course and finally are arrested near the winning-post 43'. The tokens are then released, those corresponding with the losing figures being retained inside the apparatus, and that corresponding with the winner being discharged into the receptacle 56<1> by an electro-magnetic device.

Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 8704. Mills, B. J. B, [Dick Co., A. B.]. April 21. Feeding sheets.-Relates to means for feeding sheets to printing, folding, and like machines, described as applied to stencil duplicating-apparatus. The stencil drum C is mounted in bearings in the frame A and is connected by a bolt and slot c<4> to a sector c<3>, which is driven by gearing c, c<1> from a shaft c<6> carrying a handle. The drum is provided with a perforated surface over which an ink pad and stencil are stretched, and is adapted to co-operate with a roller D carried by hook-shaped levers d tripped by means of eccentrics d<2>. Gearing with the wheel c' is a wheel E having a pin e<1> which engages a slotted lever e<2> pivoted at e<3>, this lever being connected by a link e<4> with arms F connected by rods f<1> to reciprocating gripper carriages G sliding on guides g. Lugs on the carriages G project through slots in the feed-board g' and carry a plate H having fingers h forming the upper jaws of the gripper. The lower jaws comprise fingers k on a pivoted plate K, which are pressed upward through slots in the table into contact with the upper jaw by springs k<3> encircling studs k<4>. The turning of the lower fingers k under the influence of the springs k<3> is limited by the engagement of a stop I on the plate K with a star-wheel i, the depressions in the edge of which are alternately shallow and deep, Fig. 5. Secured to the starwheel is a ratchet-wheel J having as many teeth as there are depressions in the star-wheel. A pawl j on a lever j<1>, mounted on the stud carrying the star and ratchet wheels and controlled by a spring j<4>, engages the ratchet-wheel J. As the carrier G reciprocates, studs j<2>, j<3> on the lever j<1> engage respectively with projections N, M on a member l<2>, which is pivoted on a stud d<1> and is oscillated by a plate l<1> reciprocated by two pins on a wheel integral with a wheel E driven from the main shaft. In operation, the sheets are fed by hand from a pile on the table g<3> beneath curved guides r secured to a bar R up to stops o, which are raised and depressed by a cam on the wheel E. The grippers are meanwhile returning to the rearward position with the lower jaw held open by the engagement of the stop I with a shallow tooth of the starwheel. As the grippers reach the rear position the member l<2> is rocked against the pull of the spring l<5>, operating the ratchet-wheel one tooth and closing the grippers on the edge of the sheet. The stop o is then depressed, and the grippers on the carriage G move forwards and convey the sheet into the bite of the rollers C, D. In the forward position, the ratchet-wheel J is farther rotated one tooth to render the grippers inoperative during the return motion.

Title: An Improved Interlocking Apparatus for Railway or Tramway Point, Signal and other Levers.
Filed: 1908-06-22
Granted: 1909-03-25
Abstract: 13,277. Brettell, J. O., and McKenzie & Holland. June 22. Interlocking apparatus.-In apparatus of the kind described in Specification No. 183, A.D. 1888, for interlocking band-levers which operate railway or tramway points, signals, &c., each hand-lever is provided with two plungers connected by links to points on the lever which are at different distances from the fulcrum of the lever. The plungers have therefore different strokes, and notches in the plungers for the interlocking tappets or dogs which may coincide in the normal position of a lever do not coincide in the operated position and vice versa. The engagement of a locking-dog in a particular pair of coincident notches is thus only possible at one or other, but not both, of the extreme positions of a hand-lever. A pair of plungers 6, Fig. 1, is connected by links 11, 11<a> to a hand-lever 1, and two notches are shown which are not coincident in the normal position of the lever. The interlocking on this principle for a frame of five levers is described by way of example.

Title: Improvements in Hot-water Heating-systems.
Inventor: SEGESVARY ERNST
Filed: 1908-09-10
Granted: 1909-09-10
Abstract: 19,023. Segesvßry, E. Sept. 10. Bucket elevator apparatus.-The water in a hot-water heating system is circulated by means of a steam-actuated bucketelevator apparatus which comes into operation automatically when the pressure in the generator supplying the steam cylinder is equal to the pressure due to the head of water in the system. A pipe f supplies steam to a cylinder g, the pistonrod of which is connected to a lever h, which has a bucket i at the other end. As water is raised by the bucket from a vessel k supplied from the hot-water boiler, a projection on the edge of the feed-vessel l engages with the bucket and causes the water to be tipped into the vessel l, whence it flows to the radiators n. Steam generated in the coil b passes into the space c which is connected to the hot-water system by the safety pipe o. The exhaust from the cylinder passes to the expansion vessel k, where it condenses. The steam cylinder is shown in Fig. 2. Steam passes through the valve p into the cylinder g and raises the piston r. Before the end of the stroke, the spring t of the exhaust valve s engages with a projection u and is opered by the further movement of the piston. The sudden rush of steam closes the inlet valve. By the downward movement of the piston, the two valves are brought into contact, first closing the exhaust valve and then opening the inlet-valve by the continued downward movement of the piston.

Abstract: 23,192. Hollins, R. R., and Taylor, T. Oct. 30. Cellulose; nitrates, ethereal.-The object is to produce pure cellulose from the waste products obtained by decorticating by machinery or otherwise, sanseviera, sisal, and similar fibrous plants. The waste is preferably treated while in a fresh state at the plantation, but it may be packed in hermetically sealed vessels and transported to the place where the cellulose is to be manufactured. The waste is washed in a suitable sieve so as to separate the coarser fibres and skin from the fine fibres. The coarser fibres are then prepared for paper-making &c., while the fine fibres are boiled in a 2 per cent to 8 per cent solution of ammonia, filtered, and treated with a solution of caustic soda or carbonate of soda or a mixture of the two. The resulting liquor is filtered off and the fibre treated with bromine water and boiled again in a solution of ammonia, and the treatment with bromine water and ammonia is repeated until perfectly white cellulose is obtained. Should the resulting cellulose contain siliceous matter, it is heated with a mixture of hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acids, the final product being used for the manufacture of artificial silk, gun-cotton, explosives, collodion, celluloid, &c.

Abstract: 28,061. McIntosh, J. C. Dec. 24. Gas and like engines.-In fourstroke-cycle engines having two reciprocating sleeve valves arranged concentrically with the working cylinder, a liner is interposed between the piston and the inner sleeve, and the sleeves are operated from an overhead cam-shaft by rods connected to the sleeves at opposite ends of a diameter, the construction being arranged to facilitate access to the working parts and to permit efficient lubrication. As shown in Figs. 2 and 4, the valves G, H are arranged in an annular chamber formed by an outer water-cooled casing R, a cylinder liner M, and a detachable water-cooled cylinder head D. The valves are connected to cranks or eccentrics on the shafts C by rods I, J attached to lugs G<1>, H<1> on the valves, these rods passing through apertures K in the cylinder heads. In a multi-cylinder engine, the apertures K form chambers common to adjacent cylinder heads, and the shaft C may be made up of sections which can be removed separately from each cylinder head. Bearings for the shaft C are formed in the supports C', C<2>, and a casing for the shaft and valve-gear is formed by bridge-pieces T carried by the supports C', C', and by a cover K<1>. The chamber K may be used as a grease-cup or oil-well, and passages Ware drilled through the cylinder casting for drainage; or these passages may be used for the supply of oil under pressure. The cylinder head, the valves, and the operating- mechanism may be removed together for inspection. In a modification of this construction, the liner M extends upwards through the height of the cylinder head and carries packing-rings above and below the ports ; or the liner is formed by a water-cooled extension of the detachable cylinder head. As shown in Fig. 14, the valves are outside the watercooled cylinder and head which are formed integral, and the outer casing is not water-cooled. In this arrangement packing - rings are provided in the outer valve sleeve.
