Abstract: 13,359. French, A. W. June 15. Moulding food for animals. - In machines for trimming oilcakes, particularly machines such as that described in Specification No. 24,729, A.D. 1899, means are provided for giving the cakes a preliminary trimming, for guiding and retaining them in their path, and for feeding them on to conveyer chains, which are arranged at right-angles to one another and are provided with special raised links. Before coming into contact with the rotary cutters b, the cakes c pass between stationary, oscillatory, rotary, or other knives a mounted in brackets a<1>, which may be pivoted or slotted to enable the knives to cut the cakes to the required shape. Fig. 5 shows the preferred form of one of the rotary cutters b. It consists of a series of substantially-vertical blades b<1> mounted between two discs d and having concave cutting-edges b<2>. The cakes c pass between spring or other guides e, and are pressed down by springs or yielding weights such as the rollers f. The conveyer chains g move in slots or recesses, and are provided with raised links or pushers n, the faces of which may be forwardly inclined, curved, or otherwise overhanging. Fig. 4 represents one of these links provided with a backward extension to push the cakes forwards as the links themselves pass around the sprocket-wheels. The cakes are piled up above the first conveyer, against a barrier m, and are carried forwards by the raised links n, the space beneath the barrier being sufficient to allow one cake only to pass at a time. Rotary brushes q or other appliances may be provided to clean the cakes.

Granted: 1904-04-07
Abstract: 14,430. Newton, H. E., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. June 29. Monoformyl 1-3-dimethyl-4-5-diamido 2-6-dioxypyrimidine. is produced by treating with amethylating-agents such as methyl iodide and alkali, either monoformyl-4-5-diamido-2-6-dioxypyrimidine or the 3- monomethyl derivative thereof. An excess of alkali is to be avoided, as it converts the product into theophylline as described in Specification No. 14,935, A.D. 1902. In an example, the pyrimidine derivatives are heated with methyl iodide and alkali. Acetic acid is added, and the liquid is evaporated to dryness. The dimethyl derivative is purified by recrystallization. In a modified process, a stream of methyl chloride is led into the alkaline solution of the pyrimidine derivatives.

Abstract: 10,439. Chivers, C. May 6. Bookbinding.-Each section of a book is perforated with three rows of holes, so that, when each section is sewn or secured in place, it is attached to the two next sections on both sides of it. In Fig. 1, a number of such sections a, b, c, d, e, f, g, are shown, each having three rows 1, 2, 3, of perforations. These holes are oblique through the sections, that is, they are not perpendicular to the sheets of paper forming the section. The holes of rows 1, 3 are arranged to be in vertical lines, with those of row 2 in between. The sections are so placed for stitching that, in the alternate sections a, c, e, g, &c., the outermost holes are the pairs of holes in rows 1, 3, while in the other sections the outermost holes are the single ones in row 2. If the sections a, b, c, d, e have been sewn together and a fresh section f is to be added, the thread x is brought from section c over sections d, e, and is passed in at the right-hand lower hole of the end pair of section f and passed through the end hole of row 2 of section e and end hole of row 3 of section d. It is then taken back over the top edges and passed through the lower hole of the second pair on section f, and the process repeated. The two end sections at each end are not fully sewn and may, if necessary, be further secured in any convenient way.

Granted: 1904-08-18
Abstract: 15,567. Carbonnelle, H. July 12. Telephone systems.-A telephonic relay, to be inserted at the central station into the lines to be interconnected, for the purpose of transmitting and reinforcing the speaking-currents, comprises two coils, one within the other, each to be connected to one pair of lines. One of these coils is rotated at such a speed that, if a continuous current passes in the other coil, the induced current has too high a frequency to influence a receiver diaphragm in that circuit, but, if the resistance of one circuit is altered by the microphone, a correspondingly larger change occurs in the current of the other circuit, and the receiver is influenced. The relay comprises two discs 2, rotated by the axle 3 within the hollow discs 1. On the outer surface of the discs 2 and on the inner surface of the discs 1 are wound the two coils, the method of winding the rotating coil being shown in Fig. 3. One end of the wire 10 is soldered to a plate 9, and it then passes longitudinally from one disc to the other and back again, saw cuts 8 being made to receive the wire. Spring contacts 14, 15 connect the plates 9 at the ends of the coil to terminals 16. The stationary coil 12 is wound on projecting rims 11 on the disc 1 and is connected to terminals 13.

Title: Improvements relating to Pneumatic Hammers and similar Tools
Inventor: TIERNEY JOHN WILBUR
Filed: 1904-10-20
Granted: 1905-10-20
Abstract: 22,642. Tierney, J. W. Oct. 20. Percussive hand tools; c h i s e l s.-A pneumatic hammer, chisel, or similar tool for working on metal, stone, or other material is provided with a solid distribution valve, having two differential pressure areas and having only two working surfaces which require to be ground. The throttle valve 5, which is normally kept closed by a spring, has a bevelled end which is engaged by a stem 11, guided by a pin 15 and pressed in against the action of a spring 13 by a thumb-lever 16, pivoted to the handle which is screwed on to the cylinder. The motive fluid passes through an annular groove 22, in constant connection with the port 42, through a port 23 in the cap 24 secured to the valve-box by pins, and passes along a passage and round grooves 38, 37 into a port 36, from which it emerges in the space behind the piston 35. The exhaust passes through a series of ports, at about the same distance up the cylinder as the port 53, which are put in communication with the atmosphere by longitudinal passages, entering ports in connection with the chamber 61. When the piston has covered these ports, the exhaust is conducted through the port 33, passage 32, port 58, and passage 60. On reaching the end of its stroke, the reduced neck of the piston connects the port 42 with the port 44, passage 45, and recess 48, and the valve 29 is consequently moved to the other end of its stroke. The driving-fluid is thus put in connection through a port 27 with a groove in the larger diameter of the valve, and passes along passages 30, 32 to the front of the piston, which is thus returned, the exhaust passing through the ports 36, 37, a groove 38 in the smaller diameter of the valve, and the passage in the valve-box and main exhaust port 40. The pressure on the back of the valve being now reduced, the permanent pressure of the constant supply of live air, which passes through the port 51, on the shoulder 50 of the valve returns it to its initial position, the exhaust from the back of the valve passing through the recess 48, the passage 45, and the port 53 to the chamber 34, and thence through the series of ports near the port 53 to the atmosphere. The tool shank 62 is held in the bushing 64 in the end of the cylinder.
