Title: Improvements in Machines for Sawing Veneers from Quartered Wood
Inventor: BROSIUS AARON
Filed: 1904-12-29
Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 28,695. Brosius, A. Dec. 29. Sawing.-A machine for sawing veneers from quartered oak or mahogany, in which the log is cut radially to provide a well-figured stock, consists of a carriage 1 reciprocating towards the saw 3 and provided with transverse tracks 4 for the slides 5, which are in the form of sectors and have curved surfaces 7 ard segmental racks 8. The log 17 to be sawn is clamped on a stay log 9, which is tilted on pivots 10 by the engagement with the racks 8 of pinions 13 on a shaft 12. The shaft 12 is mounted in bearings in the log 9 and is rotated by a lever 16 which enters a series of sockets in a wheel 14 secured on the shaft. The log 9 is clamped in any position by the pressure against surfaces 7 of the blocks 24, through which pass loosely the eccentric ends 23 of a shaft 20 rotated by a handle 22 in a similar manner to the shaft 12. As soon as the figuring falls off in quality, the stay log is tilted and a second series of veneers of good surface is produced. The operation is proceeded with as shown by Fig. 8.

Title: Improvements in the Method of Compounding Alternating Current Machines
Inventor: SAUTTER GASTON
Filed: 1905-01-24
Granted: 1905-09-21
Abstract: 1430. Sautter, G., HarlÚ, E., and Rey, J., [trading as Sautter, HarlÚ, et Cie.]. Feb. 4, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dynamos, regulating ; field magnets, special means for separately exciting.-In a system of compounding alternators by the employment of a reaction exciter, the armature E of which is supplied with current from the alternator A through a polyphase transformer C, the exciter is provided with two field windings F, I, the former of which is excited from an independent source, such as a self-exciting continuous-current generator G keyed upon the shaft H of the alternator and exciter or otherwise synchronously driven, or by a battery of accumulators. The other winding I is self-exciting, the current which passes through it being taken in shunt or in series from the commutator L of the exciter Current is conveyed from the commutator L to the rotating field magnets of the alternator by means of slip-rings M, M'. The field magnets of the alternator may be fixed and the armature rotate. The above arrangements enable the cores of both the armature and the field magnets of the exciter to be made of sheet iron. A rheostat N in the circuit of the field F allows the average voltage of the alternator to be varied without changing the degree of compounding, the reverse effect being obtained by means of a second rheostat O, which is placed in series with the winding I for shunt excitation and in shunt therewith for series excitation. The excitation of the auxiliary dynamo G may be regulated in such a manner that on light loads the exciter delivers current to the transformer C, while with heavy loads the transformer feeds. the exciter.

Granted: 1905-08-10
Abstract: 1818. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Jan. 30. Dyes, artificial.-The colouring-matters, obtained according to Specifications No. 16,538, A.D. 1904, and No. 853, A.D. 1905, by heating benzanthrone derivatives with alkali, are nitrated by suitable means, such as by nitric acid.

Title: Improvements in Overshoes and other Shoes with Flexible Openings.
Inventor: HIGGINS CHARLES LEANDER
Filed: 1905-12-27
Granted: 1906-03-08
Abstract: 27,012. Higgins, C. L. Dec. 27. Overshoes; uppers.-To retain an overshoe on the boot, it is fitted with a spiral spring b, which extends round the vamp to the quarter, or completely round the shoe, according to whether the overshoe is of a low or high cut. The spring is covered with rubber solution and allowed to dry before being fitted. The ends of the spring are preferably looped, as at e, and connected together by a piece f of twine. Another method of securing together the ends of the spring consists in springing the end convolutions slightly apart so that they will interlock. In this case, a short wire core is preferably used to prevent lateral displacement of the ends. Another method consists in straightening the wire at one end of the spring, and hooking it through the loop at the other end. In the case of low-cut overshoes, the inner end of the spring is sometimes bevelled, as shown at m, Fig. 9, to adapt the bead formed by the spring to fit into the welt of the shoe upon which the overshoe is worn. The invention may also be applied to any shoe having a flexible opening.

Title: Improved Automatic Non-sideslipping Device for Self-propelled Road Vehicles
Inventor: GIBSON CHARLES STEPHEN
Filed: 1906-11-10
Granted: 1907-10-31
Abstract: 25,355. Gibson, C. S. Nov. 10. Slipping of wheels, preventing.-To prevent sideslip in self-propelled vehicles, an endless chain, band, or belt, having short feelers trailing on the ground, is placed near each rear wheel of the vehicle so that, on the occurrence of side-slip, the feelers are caught under the wheel, causing the chain to liberate sand in front of the wheel and at the same time to cut off the motive-power. For use with a single-tyred wheel, the chain B carrying feelers F is passed round two pulleys C, D, Figs. 1 and 2, the pull on one side of the chain during side-slip causing a spindle L carrying vanes E to be rotated in a sand box G. As long as the spindle revolves, the power is cut off by any suitable means, such as a star-wheel on the spindle agitating a lever connected to the throttle, this arrangement leaving the throttle free to resume its normal position the moment rotation ceases. For twin-tyred wheels, the chain is passed between the tyres and back through a tube J over the wheel as shown in Fig. 5 ; two sanddistributors placed in a vertical position are used in this case, and the pulley D is placed between them.
