Title: An Improved Shield for Protecting Vaccinations or other Sore Pustules or Wounds.
Inventor: IVERSEN MICHAEL
Filed: 1903-03-19
Granted: 1903-04-23
Abstract: 6383. Iversen, M., and Omsted, N. March 20, A.D. 190?, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Shields and guards.-Fig. 1 shows a plan, Fig. 2 a longitudinal section, and Fig. 4 a plan of the underside of a shield for protecting vaccination or other sore pustules or wounds. The shield is constructed from a single blank, and is preferably of stiff linen. The body 1 of the shield has a single securing-flange 2 at one end and a pair of securing- flanges 3 at the opposite ends. A central movable cap 4 is formed in the body 1 by means of semicircular slits 5 terminating opposite the flange 2, so as to form a hinge 6 for the cap. A projecting lip 7 on the cap serves as a finger-piece for raising the cap when it is desired to inspect the sore, and is inserted through segmental slots 8 in the shield which are made to coincide when the cap is closed. The outer portions of the flanges 3 adjacent to the body 1 and the slots 8, are partially separated from the body by slits 9 so that they may be interlocked. The cap 4 is perforated to allow of ventilation, and the undersides of the flanges 2, 3 are coated with an antiseptic adhesive material. When the shield is applied to a sore, the flanges 3 overlap and are secured in this position by the adhesion of one to the other ; this causes the body of the shield to bulge and elevates the cap, the lip 7 of which is passed through the slots 8 which then coincide. When the flanges 3 are unlocked, the sides of the body of the shield are drawn in, and the cap lies over the free edges formed by the slits 5, thus preventing it from being pulled against the sore.

Each filtering-box has a tray a with filtering-partition b supported on bearers c and held in place by grids d. The boxes are connected so as to form an endless band, and are provided with rollers e which travel on guides f, g, and over wheels h. Each tray has an air pipe j<1> fitted with a valve j and connected to a pipe k common to each filtering- box of the series, parts of such common pipe being formed of flexible lengths of piping k<1>. The pipe k is connected to a flexible pipe l wound upon a spring drum m, with a view co allow the pipe l to adjust itself readily to the movements of the filtering-boxes. Each tray has a discharge pipe p, the lower end of which is fitted with an ordinary flap valve, closing automatically as soon as the charge in its corresponding box is subjected to the action of a partial vacuum maintained in the pipes j<1>, k, and l. The action of the partial vacuum commences soon after the charge has been received by the box, and is interrupted as soon as the discharge pipe p is over a tray r into which the charge is delivered ; the interruption of the action of the vacuum is effected by means of a stop t which strikes a four-armed lever on the stem of valve j. In a modified apparatus, the guides corresponding to the guides f are tubular, and each is formed, on its upper side, with a slot, and trays have saddle-shaped pieces fitting the upper surfaces of the guides and communicating therewith. In this apparatus, the action of the partial vacuum is started and stopped automatically without the use of flexible pipes and controlling-valves.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Jacquard Card Punching Machines.
Inventor: MARTIN WILLIAM TRUSWELL
Filed: 1904-06-16
Granted: 1905-05-11
Abstract: 13,658. Martin, W. T. June 16. Cards, punching.-Relates to piano punching- machines for punching the cards used in the jacquards of such machines as the Levers or like lace machine. The keys are arranged as shown in Fig. 2, and operate levers E having projections indicated by dark lines, to depress certain combinations of the bars F which act on the punchselecting mechanism; thus one key actuates any combination of punches required. Levers f, f<1> are provided to control the peg-hole punches and spacing- mechanism respectively. The depression of one of the bars F, f, f<1> gives an angular movement to the end F<5>, Fig. 1, of a pivoted lever F<1> attached to a bar, and pushes in the intercepting pin B to hold a punch. There are two sets of key-lever bars, punches, &c., for punching two cards simultaneously. The eccentric A<1> oscillates the punch box A carrying the ordinary punches, and, as the intercepting-pins B can be pushed in only when the box is near its upper position, the bars F are reciprocated all together, so as to rise at this time, by means of rock-shafts H, H<1> and an eccentric H<5>. The bars and key-levers are returned to their normal positions by springs, and the intercepting- pins by a blade J which engages with the pins and with a bolt K. When this bolt is pushed in by the blade J operated by the pins, the end K<3> engages with a link K', connected to the carriage spacing-mechanism, so as to impart the downward motion of the punch box to the link. A bolt L engages a notch K<6> and retains the link K', and is withdrawn from engagement by an arm L<3> on the rock-shaft H. When a key-lever is depressed, an arm M moves the end of the arm L<3> clear of the stud L' so that the bolt L holds the link K<4> until the key-lever is released, thus obviating a second punching of the card. The carriage N for traversing the card beneath the punches is made shorter than usual, and is moved along the guide-ways N<2> by the action of the bar P which engages the tumbler lever N<5>. This bar is operated every time the link K<4> is depressed and the carriage moved one space along its rack O. The latter can be depressed to release the carriage by means of a treadle S, chain S<1>, rod R, and a stud R<3> engaging a cam-surface O<6> on the rack O.

Abstract: 16,074. Marcus, H. July 20. Conveyers. - In jigging conveyers such as are described in Specification No. 14,412; A.D. 1900, the rollers supporting the conveyer trough, instead of being mounted in bearings fixed to the trough or to the track, roll on paths on the track, and various means are provided for preventing the rollers from running out of line and from slipping. The roller shafts x, Fig. 1, may roll on tracks e, which may be curved upwards at the ends to prevent slipping at the limits of motion ; or the tracks e may be carrie l on the trough, the roller then rolling on the fixed track. Further, the roller may roll both on the fixed track and on the trough, Fig. 6, one track b or the other being formed with guiding-sides b<1> to keep the roller in line. For the same purpose and to prevent slipping, the roller or its axle, or both, may be formed with teeth engaging racks on the tracks ; or one or other of the means illustrated in Figs. 12, 16, 18, 20 and 23 may be used. In that shown in Fig. 12, curved guides m fixed to the trough and to the track pass through holes n in the rollers ; in Fig. 16, links l connect pins on the track and on the trough with pins on the sides of the roller ; in Fig. 18, slotted levers pivoted on the shaft x, of the roller engage pins p, q fixed respectively to the trough and to the track ; in Fig. 20, metal bands r embrace the pins p, q and the shaft x, and a spring s is interposed between the bottom of the band and the pin q. Finally, in the last modification, Fig. 23, bolts p, q are connected to the roller shaft x by springs. These three last devices serve also to prevent jumping of the trough away from the track.
