Title: Improvements in Mechanical Tinder Boxes.
Inventor: GERGACSEVICS OTTO
IPC: F23Q2/02
Filed: 1910-01-24
Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 1761. Gergacsevics, O. Jan. 24. Pocket ignitors, non- electric. - A mechanical tinder box, in which a fluted wheel is rotated by means of a cog-wheel rubs against a spark-producing body, is constructed in such a manner that a tube containing the w i c k contracts a spring when moving in one direction but releases the spring when moving in the opposite direction at the moment the wick is opposite the spark-producing body so that the spring can rotate the fluted wheel. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a piston 7, fitted in a tube 6 and held in the raised position by a spring 8, is connected by an arm 5, a rack 4, a cog-wheel 3, Fig. 2, and a clutch, to the fluted wheel 1, Fig. 1, on which a piece 15 of cerium iron is pressed by a spring-controlled lever 16, the clutch only acting in one direction. The piston 7 is forced downwards, and the spring 8 is compressed by a stop 26, Fig. 2, on the wicktube 24 when the tube 24 and its reservoir 23 are inserted in an extension of the tube 6, and the spring 7 is held in the depressed position by a spring-actuated pawl 19 engaging over the top of rack 4. When the wick-tube is raised, the stop 26 strikes a lever 20 on the same spindle as the pawl, and thereby releases the pawl from the rack so that the spring 8 expands and rotates the fluted wheel, which produces a series of sparks. The guide for the stop 26 is provided with air-admission openings 28. To extinguish the flame, the inflammable material at the end of the wick-tube is pushed down into a recess 27, Fig. 1, in the piston 7 so that the recess is closed by the stop 26. In a modification, the spark-producing body 15 may be arranged, under instead of above, the wheel 1, and the rack 4 is guided by the walls of the socket 14 containing the body 15. In a second form, a slide 35, Fig. 7, fitted in guides 34, is connected by a pin-and-slot connexion to a toothed sector 29 and a disk 31 mounted on the same spindle, so that the sector is rotated by the stop 26 on the wick-tube 24 in opposition to a spring 33 when the slide 35 is forced downwards, the sector 29 being held in the wound-up position by a pawl 40 engaging a ratchet-tooth on the disk 31. The pawl 40 is released, on raising the wick-tube 24, by the stop 26 striking an arm 39 of the pawl lever, and the sector rotates the cog-wheel and the fluted wheel 1, which produces the igniting-sparks. The tube 24 may extend through the hollow slide 35 into a benzine-holder provided with absorbing- material, a safety gauze, and an opening for the wick, which opening is sealed by a band on the wick-tube. The same spring may be employed to press the spark-producing body against the wheel 1, and the arm 39 into the path of the stop 26.

Title: Improvements in Swinging or Reciprocating Conveyors or Screens.
Inventor: NORTON BERTRAM
IPC: B65G27/00
Filed: 1910-03-16
Granted: 1910-12-08
Abstract: 6570. Norton, B. March 16. Jigging conveyers with delivery sections of adjustable inclination are provided with means for automatically varying the throw of the delivery section as the inclination is adjusted in order that the feed of material may always take place at the same rate. In the arrangement shown, the section A is supported by links B, C and is driven from a slotted rocking-lever H. A pin I in the end of the connecting-rod D rides in the slot, and the rod D is provided with an extension D<1> having a pin F riding in an horizontal or approximately horizontal slot G. With this arrangement, as the trough A is raised, the pin I moves up the slot away from the joint J, and the throw of the crank is increased. If the trough is lowered, the pin moves nearer to the pivot, and the throw is decreased. Means may be provided for stopping the feed when the trough has been raised to a certain height. This is effected by forming the slot G in a block 0 carried by a swinging link M, which is raised by a projection K on the trough when the trough has been raised to the desired height. The pin I is then swung back towards the pivot J. The pin F may be placed on the other side of the connexion of the rod D.

The pawl m is pressed by a spring o and released by a finger piece p. A scale k is arranged on the ring h and a pointer b<1> on the ring b. The setting-lug d of the ring b is carried by a slide c provided with a pointer e moving against a scale f for zero correction.
