Abstract: 28,133. Turner, W. E. Dec. 6. Furs and furriery.-A brushing-machine, applicable for carrotting furs, comprises means consisting of rollers whereby the work is fed past a rotary brush and is then delivered back to a table at the front of the machine. The fur is fed from a coppercovered table f between rollers c<1>, c<2> against a rotary brush d and back on to a table f<1> through the rollers c<2>, c<3>. The shaft i drives the brush d in a counter-clockwise direction, and also rotates the roller c<2> more slowly in a clockwise direction by means of gear-wheels on an intermediate shaft l, chains j, j<1>, and a gearwheel c<5>, the rollers c<1>, c<3> being revolved by equal-sized gear-wheels c<4> on their shafts. Brackets a<3>, adjustable toward and away from the brush d by screws a<5>, support the roller bearings, the upper and lower of which are pressed by springs e toward the middle one and are adjustable with respect thereto by screws e<1>, e<2>. Preferably the rollers are rubbercovered, and the upper is larger than the others. The brush may rotate in a steam-heated liquor tank g having an outlet plug g<2> or a ball cock and overflow; the height of the brush in the tank may be adjustable. The brush may be given a reciprocating motion by means of a lever m pivoted at m<1> and engaging at its ends a cam i<1> on the shaft i and the end of the shaft d<1>. The brush and roller c2 may rotate in the same direction, the brush then rotating slowly. According to the Provisional Specification the fur may be delivered at the rear instead of at the front of the machine, and, instead of a tank being used, the liquor may be sprayed on the fur.

Abstract: 21,784. Pudumjee, D. D. Sept. 26. Gins.-The lever C for oscillating the beater of a Macarthy double-roller cotton gin has a parallel-sided slot of tapered cross-section. In this slot runs a tapered roller E, which takes the place of the ordinary split die, and within the roller E is a tapered bush F through which the crank-pin passes and in which it is fixed. Rolling friction so established diminishes wear, which is taken up by axial adjustment, and shocks due to irregular wear are eliminated.
Patent GB-191325087-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Hire Indicating Apparatus for Billiards.
Inventor: EGA OMERO BACC
Filed: 1913-11-03
Granted: 1914-06-25
Abstract: 25,087. Bacchiega, O. Nov. 2, 1912, [Convention date]. Time checks.-Relates to a hire-indicating apparatus for billiards and comprises a clcckworkdriven set of disks indicating the expense incurred, the disks being normally arrested by a pawl which is actuated by another clock-work so as to release the disks at predetermined intervals of time variable at will so as to change the rate of hire. The removal of the billiard balls 33 from a box starts a clock-work connected to a pinion 12 and provided with a time dial 3. The pinion drives a segment 13 which pivots in a slot 16 formed in one end of a lever 17 pivoted on a pin 18. The segment in its backward movement pushes back a spring-pressed pawl 9 which ultimately releases a wheel 6 continuously acted upon by an independent clock-work.. The wheel 6 then rotates, and by means of a pin 10 rotates also the money disks 4, 5, and by means of a lug 24 depresses the lever 17, which then draws down the segment 13 from its driving-pinion 12. The segment is returned by a spring 25, and the passage of the lug 24 allows the lever 17 to return under the influence of a spring, thereby placing the segment 13 again in gear with the pinion 12; the pawl 9 then again locks the wheel 6 after this has completed half a revolution. The cycle of operations is then repeated. In order to rotate the money disks 4, 5 at shorter or longer intervals of time to meet changes in the rate of hire, a stepped cam 29, rotated by means of a key, is provided so that the steps serve as an abutment for a stop 30 connected to a sleeve 15 which acts as a guide for the segment 13. The stop 30, by holding the segment at different initial positions, varies the time of release of the disk 6 from the pawl 9. The replacement of the balls 33 causes the lever 17 to withdraw the segment 13 from the pinion 12. The cam 29, which may be eccentric instead of stepped, may be operated from a distance by means of electro-magnets. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the electromagnets may be inserted in the circuit of the electric light installation so that the rate of hire is changed automatically when the light is switched on. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
