Inventor: COGGER BERTIE EDWARD
IPC: G09B21/00
Filed: 1910-10-20
Granted: 1911-05-18
Abstract: 24,315. Cogger, B. E. Oct. 20. Blind persons, communicating with.-Relates to clips for holding paper on boards used by the blind for braille writing. The clip, which renders unnecessary the use of pins for piercing the paper, and is reversible, consists of two metal plates B, C, between which the top edge of the paper is placed. The bottom plate B has pins B', B<2> on each side adapted to fit into holes in the board A. The top plate C is pivoted to the bottom plate by pins which turn in holes in the studs B<1>. A lever or handle D enables the paper to be clamped between the two plates, and rests in a recess A<2> in the board when the clip is reversed. Segments G on the bottom plate act as guides for placing the paper in position. When the clip is reversed, the top studs B<1> enter the holes in the board. According to the Provisional Specification, the clip is held in place by metallic clips and adjusting-springs on the board. The bottom plate has two fixed knobs for raising and lowering, and has a screw and nut for clamping the plates together.

Abstract: 9801. Craig, A. April 22. Controlling-apparatus, arrangement of hand gear in conjunction with; guarding against wrong movements. - Gear-changing mechanism comprises a shaft O<2>, Fig. 2, which is moved axially and rotated respectively for selecting and operating any particular gear, by means of a hand - lever R. The toothed wheel K and the clutch members on the lower and upper shafts are connected by forked arms respectively to the left, central, and right hand slotted plates N. To engage either of the lower gears, the striking-arm O is positioned to operate both the left hand and central members, as the wheel K must also be moved to prevent engagement of the reversing- gear, while to engage the reversing-gear or the two higher gears it is positioned to engage the left or right hand members respectively. The hand-lever is provided with an enlarged portion having lateral slots S<2> ... S<4> engaging a fixed segment T. The latter is slotted at the centre so that a different slot can only be moved into alinement with it when the lever is in its central rotary position and thus all the gears are disconnected.

Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 23,741. Wagenhorst, J. H. Oct. 29, 1910, [Convention date]. Detachable-rim attachments to wheels. - Detachable rims are secured by means of nuts 18, Fig. 3, having an eccentric projection 21 which, in one position, bears against a flange 7 on the detachable rim, and in another position allows the rim to be withdrawn. Each nut is moved laterally and turned from its operative to its inoperative position by a sleeve 17 having internal and external threads of opposite hands engaging corresponding threads on the nut and on the end 13 of a transverse bolt 10 fixed in the felloe. An inclined projection 23, Fig. 5, formed on a plate 14 fixed to the face of the felloe abuts against the side of the nut and limits rotation of the latter to the position in which it holds the rim, and limits rotation of the nut in the opposite direction to the inoperative position and holds it there in conjunction with a stop 26 and inclined surface 25 on the nut. Accidental rotation of the nut, when in its operative position, is prevented by a non-circular recess engaging a non-circular collar 12 on the bolt. In one modification, a split wedge ring, held by its tendency to expand on the detachable rim, is interposed between the bevelled surface 6 on the felloe band and an outwardly bevelled surface on the flange 7; in another modification, the projection 21 has wedges formed therewith which are forced between the felloe and the base of the rim.

Abstract: 473. Lishman, W. W. L. Jan. 6. Washing-machines with pumps and means for circulating liquids.-Relates to kiers, washing- machines, &c., and consists in (1) a fluidcirculating system whereby various operations such as washing, blueing, starching, &c. can be performed without the necessity of removing goods from the machine, (2) the provision of a water-supply pipe which is attached to the lid of the machine, and (3) an improved rotatable inner cylinder or lining. A vertical stationary machine comprises an outer casing A, Fig. 1, and a removable inner lining B. The bottom of the casing A is in communication with an horizontal pipe C, to which liquor may be supplied through a valve D. By means of a valve E, the pipe C may be placed in communication with a water-supply pipe J controlled by a valve j and a vertical pipe F controlled by a valve f<1>. The vertical pipe communicates with a pipe F<1> within the machine when the lid A is closed. Situated between the valves D, E is a drain-pipe G provided with a cock g. A steam injector H, supplied by a steam-pipe h, is fitted within the pipe F, and another circuit of pipes C, k, k<2> is provided, within which is situated a pump K. With the circulating- system described above a number of operations can be performed, for example, by opening the valve D and closing the valves E, g, liquor can pass into the machine from below and can afterwards be drained off through the valve g. By opening the valves j, E and closing the valves D, g, water can be admitted to the machine from the bottom thereof, or, if desired, water can be admitted to the upper end of the machine through the pipes F, F<1> by closing the valve E and opening the valve f'. By using the injector, this water may be heated. By using the pump circuit and adjusting the necessary valves, a continuous circulation can be maintained in the machine. The pipes F, k<2> are provided respectively with branch pipes for the admission of water liquor or the like. In order to free the interior of the machine from all obstructions when the lid a<1> is opened,' the pipe f<1> is connected to the lid, as is also the deflecting-plate or spreader a<2>; the position of these parts with the lid open being shown in dotted lines. Similar fluid-circulating systems are described in connexion with a fixed horizontal machine, and with horizontal, vertical, and inclined rotary and oscillating washing- machines.

Feeding webs. - In apparatus for the sale of stamps, tickets, &c., a reciprocating arm 5 disposed on one side of a grooved table 1 feeds the strip x along the table by means of teeth 6 engaging the perforations between the stamps, while a second arm 10 disposed on the other side of the table is provided with a cutting- member 12, which, when the feed - arm has reached the end of the table, co - operates with the teeth to sever the foremost stamp along the line of perforations. The arms 5, 10 are controlled by springs 7, 13 respectively, and are pivoted on a spindle 5b mounted in a carriage 11 which is reciprocated along a base 20 by any suitable means. Projections 8 on the arm 5 co-operate with fixed cam pieces 9 so as to bring the teeth into and out of engagement with the strip at the required times, the projections being lifted on to the upper surfaces of the cams during the return movement by the engagement of the spring 7 with a projection 5<c> on the arm. A pivoted spring 4 slotted for the passage of the teeth 6 serves to hold the strip during the return movement of the feeding arm, but is lifted during the forward movement by the engagement of a projection 17 on the arm with the tail 20 of the spring. The severing arm 10 is operated by spring-controlled levers 14, the arms 15 of which co-operate with rollers 16 mounted in the side plates. When the strip is exhausted, a roller 21, which normally bears on the strip drops into a recess 23 in the table, thereby withdrawing a rod 24 and releasing a lever 25 which actuates mechanism (not shown) for closing the coin slot.
