Abstract: 20,752. Neill, J. Sept. 10. Cutting - e d g e s, shaping and treating.-Relates to a machine for grinding tools for cutting the teeth of files, of the kind in which the cutting-edge of the tool is of curved outline to produce a tooth of similar outline across the face of the file, and curved slightly in the plane of the edge to produce a tooth of constant depth. At rightangles to the axis of the grinding-wheel b, is a spindle c mounted in bearings c<1>, c<2>, pivotally carried by standards c<4>; the spindle may be rotated by hand, and carries disks d, f and a clamp e for holding the tool g. A spring g<2> urges the shaft c backwards, and a screw stop h, bearing on the disk f, limits the backward movement of the spindle, and, by engaging the back end of the tool, limits the rotational movement of the spindle. When the tool is being ground, the spindle is turned so that the clamp and tool are in the lowest position, and the tool is given a slight rotational movement over the stone, the bevel of the cntting- edge being determined by the inclination of the spindle c.

Jacks. - A lever operating-device which is self-locking in any position, applicable to jacks for lifting carriage axles &c., comprises a modification of the inventions described in Specification 28,798/06, [Class 80, Mechanism &c.], and the parent Specification. A lever M pivoted on fixed studs K is connected by a pin G to the slotted end E of an eccentric strap D, which in turn is pivoted by a second slotted projection E<1> to a fixed pin F, and is rocked thereon by means of an eccentric A, A' upon a fixed pivotal pin B, the actuating-means being connected to the eccentric A, A<1>. Instead of separate pivots K, a single pivot or stud may be employed, passing through. an elongated slot in the eccentric, thereby limiting the amplitude of movement of the lever. The device as described above is stated to be self-locking against back-action, but positive locking-means may be provided as shown in Figs. 3 and 5. This means may comprise wedges Q pressed apart by springs U into the tapered ends of a crescent-shaped recess R and normally locking the eccentric A and strap D together. The wedges are withdrawn to release the parts prior to adjustment by means of a loose ring V fitting a groove between the parts A. A of the eccentric and having notches Y engaging the wedges. A stud B<1> in a slot X loosely connects the ring to the eccentric boss so that initial movement of the ring in either direction releases the wedge while further movement adjusts the eccentric and operates the lever M. When applied as a jack for lifting carriage axles, the arm M is hooked to engage the axle and is actuated by means of an arm N attached to the ring V and projecting through a slot in the strap D.

Title: Improved Method of and Apparatus for Producing Boron and Zirconium.
Inventor: WEINTRAUB EZECHIEL
IPC: C22B4/00
Filed: 1910-10-27
Granted: 1912-01-29
Abstract: 25,033. Weintraub, E. Oct. 27, 1909, [Convention date]. Boron is obtained by the action of an electric arc on a mixture of a vaporized halogen compound with hydrogen. In one form of apparatus, boron chloride, made from crude boron and purified by distillation over copper, is dropped from a cooled vessel 2 into a bulb 5, heated if necessary, through which hydrogen passes; or the chloride may be contained in the bulb, the temperature of which is then regulated to control the vaporization. The gaseous mixture is fed by silicon nozzles 21 to one or more arcs, preferably alternating-current, between cooled electrodes 16 of bent tubing, which may be of copper, silver, gold, or other material inert towards the boron. Alternatively, the supply tubes may pass through the electrodes, which then have longitudinal partitions for water circulation; or the gas may enter near the bottom of the chamber. Additional hydrogen may be supplied to the arc chamber by a separate pipe. The boron formed is expelled from the arc, and deposits on the electrode in fused form and on the walls of the reaction chamber. The gases pass on to a condenser 23 and a vessel 26 containing sodium amalgam or caustic soda to remove hydrochloric acid; the purified hydrogen may be used again. In a modification, the gases are freed from hydrochloric acid, and the mixture of hydrogen and boron chloride is again treated by an arc. Boron thus obtained is black, and after fusion is very hard and has a conchoidal fracture and a large negative resistance-temperature coefficient. Specifications 13,486/90 and 20,003/04, [both in Class 39, Electric lamps &c.], 25,978/06, 1197/07, and 24,437/09, [Class 39(iii), Heating by electricity], are referred to.

Affixing by adhesives.-In machines for affixing strengthening-strips to, and perforating, the edges of paper sheets, the strip is turned down by an oscillating motion on to the edge of the sheet by means of a lever mechanism. The strip is fed from a roll a between feed-rollers c, d, then through the fulcrum e of a rocking arm f, and through guides g thereon. The forked operating-lever b is connected by a link h to the arm f. As the lever b is depressed from the position shown, the web is turned down by the arm f, and is affixed, severed, and perforated in the usual manner by a plate l connected by springs to a vertically-moving plate k, a cutter p, and punches o. The arms of the lever b contact with the ends of the plate k and depress it against the action of springs q. If the lever b is again depressed from the normal position shown, only a perforating - action occurs. In order to feed the web, the lever must be raised through the angles #, a; on its descent, the end of the web is moistened by being wiped past the wick i of the damping-device by means of the arm f.
