Abstract: 13,076. Pierpont, F. H., and Lanston Monotype Corporation. June 5. Monotype machines.-Relates to means for casting low quads or spaces by means of a divided mould blade. The two sections B, C, Fig. 4, of the blade rest side by side and are so formed that each bears for a substantial part of its area against both walls of the blade channel. One side of each section is flat and the other is provided with projections b, c respectively which bear against opposite walls of the channel. An orifice b<5> in the main section B receives the part c of the upper or cut off section C.

Granted: 1908-07-29
Abstract: 17,332. Mladek, J., Mladek, W., and Samal, K. July 29. Telegraphs.-Relays for receiving current impulses produced by electro-magnetic induction are arranged so that the local circuit remains closed or open according to the sign of the last impulse received, a contact-device which is brought to the circuit-closing position by an impulse of one sign being held in that position by residual magnetism until an opposite impulse arrives, which enables its own resilience or a controlling-spring to bring it out of contact. In the relay shown in Fig. 2, a spiral spring F touches fixed and adjustable iron cores e, f in its circuit-closing position, and stands between them without touching in its other position. In the relay shown in Fig. 4, a pivoted spring controlled armature A has a disk-shaped end under the influence of a line magnet E. The magnet E has a core and iron casing which are respectively polarized by the north poles of permanent horseshoe mignets N<1>S<1>, N<2>S<2>, the south poles of which are placed up against the iron armaturesupport St ; the strength of these polarizing magnets is adjustable by means of transverse bar magnets, which are movable by means of screws Sch so as to bridge the limbs of the horseshoes at an adjustable distance from the ends thereof. The local circuit terminals are connected to the armature support St and to a screw as shown on the pillar carrying the screws between which the end of the armature A works. A hand transmitter for generating induction impulses is shown in Fig. 7. Two line coils E<1>, E<2> connected in series are carried by forked extensions G<1>, G<2> of a key K pivoted at x. The distance between the coils is regulated by a screw S<3>, and the throw of the key K by screws S<1>, S<2>. By pressing and releasing the key K, the ends of the cores of the coils E<1>, E<2> are brought alternately against the pole-pieces of a permanent horseshoe magnet N M, so that this is bridged alternately by the two cores.

Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 6635. Ream, J. March 21, 1908, [Convention date]. Shoots.- A shoot for conveying coal, ore &c. is built up of a series of sections flexibly connected together, each section carrying rollers which are adapted to run on cables coextensive with the shoot and yieldingly supported at each end, the delivery end of the shoot being mounted on a universal joint. Coal &c. is loaded into a hopper 2, mounted upon a framework 1 and provided with two spouts 2<a>, 2<b>, through either of which the coal may be delivered by means of a pivoted door 2<c>. The shoot comprises a series of sections 3, each of which consists of a cylindrical and tapering portion, the tapering portion fitting into the cylindrical portion of the next section. The end section 6 of the shoot is connected to the receiving- hopper 4 by means of a universal joint 7, 8, 9. The shoot is supported by rollers 17 upon two cables 10 passing over pulleys at their ends, to which are attached counterweights. In the edge of the cylindrical portion of each section is formed a V-shaped notch 14 adapted to receive a lug 16 carried by the next section, so as to prevent jamming of the different sections. Each section is coupled to the next by means shown in Fig. 7. Secured to hoops 13 surrounding each section are clevises 20, to which are attached the heart-shaped rings 21 of the coupling. This comprises as well a snap hook 22 and a shock-absorber 23, which is attached to the clevis of the next section by a short rope 27. From the spring buffer of the uppermost section, a cable 28 for paying out or taking in the shoot leads over a pulley 29 to a drum 30 rotated by a crank 31 or the equivalent. When it is desired to shorten the shoot by removing a few sections, these are relieved of the weight of the conveyer by attaching a temporary bridle to the next lower section, the rope 33 from such bridle leading over pulleys 34, 35. The rope 33 is made to take the weight of the conveyer, while the snap-hooks 22 of the sections to be taken out are released.

Title: Apparatus for Raising Liquids by Means of Compressed Air.
Inventor: KESTNER PAUL
Filed: 1909-09-23
Granted: 1910-02-17
Abstract: 21,737. Kestner, P. Oct. 1, 1908, [Convention date]. Direct air-pressure apparatus, automatic.-In single-chambered direct air-pressure apparatus for raising liquids, more particularly acids, a counterbalanced float actuates the air supply and exhaust valves through a lever supported on a knife-edge placed between the valves, the lever being enclosed in a chamber in communication with the forcing - chamber. The main chamber 1 has a liquid-supply pipe 2, a liquiddischarge pipe 4, and a common air supply and discharge pipe 6. Through the pipe 6 passes a rod 7 supported by the float 8 and attached at its upper end to a lever 9 resting on a knifeedge 10. The air-inlet valve 14 and exhaust valve 11 are attached to the lever 9, the latter valve carrying a counterbalance weight 13. When the chamber 1 is full, the weight 13 has a greater effect upon the lever 9 than the submerged float 8, so that the valve 11 is closed and the valve 14 is opened to allow air to enter the vessel 1 and force the liquid up the pipe 4, As the liquid level falls in the vessel 1, the float 8 is less submerged and has an increased effect on the lever 9, whereupon the exhaust valve 11 opens, the supply valve 14 closes, and the vessel 1 fills with liquid. In the modification of valvegear shown in Fig. 4, the counterweight is directly attached to the valve 11, and the air with any acid vapours is conducted through the pipe 16. Between the lever 9 and valve 14 is placed an adjustable screw 17 for regulating the lift of the valve; this regulation may also be obtained by adjusting the seat of the escape valve, or the knife-edge, or supply valve.
