Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 1544. Fitzpatrick, H. D., [Mathews Gravity Carrier Co.]. Jan. 20. Conveyers ; s h o o ts ; rolling appliances. - Relates to roller-ways arranged with a slight slope so that merchandize, lumber, or the like may be transported from a higher to a lower level, and consists in various devices for reducing the friction of the rollers, particularly at curves, and in forming the conveyer of portable sections. The roller wheels 7 are supported at each side of the track between pairs of bars 2, 3 separated by blocks. The opposite sides of the track are connected at intervals by distance-rods. The wheels are constructed, as shown in Fig. 10, of disks 9 pressed or punched out of sheet metal, and having peripheral flanges placed back to back when the two halves are bolted together. The inner edges of the disk are bent to form a bearing for the balls 15, which run in a groove in a fixed block. The portable sections of the conveyer are secured by spikes and are coupled together by means of castings 22, 24 secured to the abutting ends of the tracks, and hinged together on a pin 25, as shown in Fig. 5. For passing around corners, curved tracks may be provided, or a short length of track may be secured between the two oblique portions of the outer track, as shown in Fig. 2. A retarding-strap 32 mounted on the inner track engages the bottom of the packages, and retards the inner end while the outer end is swinging around the curve. In another form of track, a transversely adjustable central track is provided at a slightly higher level than the side tracks, the wheels of the latter being slightly tilted so as to direct the merchandize towards the centre. Fig. 12 shows in cross-section a form of conveyer in which three bars are used, between which inclined rollers 40 are mounted on ball bearings. The outer ends of the rollers are slightly in advance of the inner ends, so as to cause the load to work towards the centre. In another form, a single roller is used supported between side bars on ball bearings, and provided with side flanges. At curves, the outer edge of the conveyer is raised, to prevent the momentum of the load from causing it to pass off the carrier.

Title: Improvements in Telegraphy.
Inventor: KITSEE ISIDOR
Filed: 1906-06-01
Granted: 1906-12-13
Abstract: 12,748. Kitsee, I. June 1. Telegraphs.-In a system of submarine duplex or quadruplex telegraphy, one message is sent by intermittent or alternating currents, preferably produced by means of a variable resistance, and is received by a telephone, the other message being sent by positive and negative currents and received by a siphon recorder or like instrument. The Figure shows a system of quadruplex telegraphy, the telephone receiver F<1> and siphon recorder F being arranged between the cable and artificial line as usual. The positive and negative currents are sent to line by a double key in the usual way, or preferably by the arrangement shown, in which two batteries B, B' are arranged in opposition, the larger one being shunted by the key A. Condensers C, C' are arranged so that when the key A is depressed, the battery B<1> sends an impulse to line, while when the key is raised, the battery B sends an impulse of reverse polarity. A dot or dash is signalled according as the key is depressed for a short or long interval. The other key A<1> controls the circuit of a magnet E arranged so as automatically to vibrate its armature E<1>, which varies the resistance of the microphone M in circuit with the primary of an induction coil D, the secondary of which is in the cable circuit. Short and long depressions of the key A<1> thus cause sounds of corresponding length in the telephone F<1> at the receiving-station, but do not affect the receiver F.

Abstract: 10,567. Deeley, J., and Taylor, L. B. May 7. Breech actions, drop-down barrel.-Relates to drop-down guns with detachable lock-plates as described in Specification No. 17,731, A.D. 1897, and consists of constructions of lock-mechanism intended to secure the minimum weight of pull-off, of means for enabling the hammers to be readily cocked by hand when the lock-plates are detached, and of means for securing the detachable lockplates. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the sear is in the form of a bell-crank-like lever b, b<2>, the nearly vertical arm b of which occupies a recess a<2> in the head of the cocked hammer a and engages a bent a<1> near the top of the head of the hammer. The horizontal arm b<2>, upon which the trigger acts, is made considerably larger than the vertical arm b. The bent may be formed in a separate piece fixed in the recess a<2> of the hammer. In a modification, shown in Fig. 7, the arm b of the sear b, b<2> engages a bent a<1> formed in the back of the hammer, the trigger acting to depress the arm b<2> of the sear by means of a pivoted lever g<2>. In another construction, the hammer is retained in the cocked position by an arm h, Fig. 8, with a hooked end engaging with a fixed projection i until the arm is pushed forward by a bell-crank lever b, b' acted upon by the trigger. The weight of the pull-off is still further reduced by placing the notch e of the hammer a, Fig. 1, so that the hooked end of the mainspring f is nearly tangential to the pivot pin g of the hammer when the hammer is cocked. The hammer a, Fig. 1, is provided with a projection or finger-pull a<3> to facilitate cocking of the hammer when the lock-plate is detached from the gun. The detachable lock-plates are secured in the gun by providing them with hooks at their knuckle ends engaged by arms or extensions of the extractor lifter or of a piece pivoted thereto. Fig. 10 is an underside plan of the body. Fig. 11 shows in side elevation and plan the knuckle end of one of the lock-plates. Fig. 12 is an end elevation of the knuckle end of the fore-end and attached parts. The projection k<2> of the lock-plate k is engaged by one of the arms l<2> of the extractor lifter l attached to the fore-end m. In other constructions, an example of which is shown in Figs. 16 and 18, the extractor lifter l is placed on the joint pin l and is provided with a loose or jointed piece p, which not only retains the lock-plates by means of side arms or projections p<2>, but serves as a catch for the cover-plate r fitted to the underside of the body of the gun.
