Abstract: 19,942. Soo. Anon. Belge de Forage et de Prospections MiniÚres. Sept. 23, 1908, [Convention date]. Freezing and otherwise hardening the ground.- In a method of sinking shafts in watery soil, the shaft is deepened simultaneously with the formation of bore-holes around the shaft and the injection of cement through the bore-holes into the surrounding soil. The work of boring and cementing is carried out in advance of the sinking, which is thus always effected in well-cemented soil. The boring-apparatus 2 and the cementing-apparatus run on rails 1 round the mouth of the shaft, which is thus left free for the sinking. For convenience, the men engaged in deepening the shaft, and boring and cementing the ground, work at different levels, as shown in Fig. 1.

Granted: 1910-08-18
Abstract: 21,005. Fairweather, W., [Electric Shoe Polisher Co.]. Sept. 14. Shoes, cleaning and polishing. -Relates to coin - freed electricallyoperated shoe - cleaning machines, and particularly to the construction and arrangement of the dirt receptacle, the construction of the brush, and the mounting of the mechanism upon a single base which is readily removable from the casing. The coinfreed mechanism is of the class wherein the coin causes a shunt circuit to close so as to start the motor, while the closure of the main circuit, the breaking of the shunt circuit, and the release of the coin are subsequently a n d automatically effected by the motor. The brushing-device consists of a pair of opposite disks 15 attached to an extension of the shaft of the motor 12 and provided with annularlyarranged bristles 16. Between the disks is a cylindrical buffing - member composed of alternating pieces of fabric 19, 20 of different sizes. The air currents and dirt are forced along a channel 22 into a spiral duct which terminates in a deposit chamber 25. The chamber is removable and has a reticulated cover 27. The motor, by means of gearing and shafts 30, 36, rotates the spindle of a switch 39 the contact arms of which are caused to move periodically with a snap action. When a coin is inserted it runs down a shoot 71 and rests between two spring contact-arms 65, 66 which form part of the shunt circuit. This circuit being thus closed, the motor commences to run. When the switch spindle has been sufficiently turned, the switch contacts are shifted to close the main circuit and simultaneously cut out the shunt circuit. The contact arm 66 is then pulled aside by a pin 75 on the shaft 36 and the coin is released. Another pin 79 on the shaft 36 also actuates an arm 80 to ring a bell 82. At the next operation of the switch the main circuit is broken and the motor stops. The motor, switch, and shoe-cleaning apparatus are mounted on a base 10 which is readily removable from the casing and carries two knife contacts 51, 52 to co-operate with the supply terminals on the casing.
