Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 10,316. Vonhausen, A. May 1, 1908, [Convention date]. Money-delivering apparatus.-Money-boxes are provided with separate compartments and with means for obtaining the contents of one compartment per day. An automatic calendar and a clock may be combined with the apparatus, which is adaptable as a toy for children for issuing sweets, chocolate, or pocket money. The thirty-one money-compartments a are each normally closed at the bottom by a hinged flap g secured by a lever l. By means of clock-work acting through a shaft p and gearing p', q, a plate r with an upturned edge r<4> is rotated once in thirty-one days, so that once a day a cut-away part r<5> arrives opposite one of the levers l. At the same time, the clockwork depresses a rod u<1>, and the lever t is actuated to move the lever l out of engagement with the flap g. The spring k then acts to lower the flap g, and the contents of the compartment fall down the shoot b into a drawer e, from which they may be taken for use. When all the compartments have been emptied, the pins n are withdrawn from holes in the casing c<1> and ribs o, and the operating-mechanism is lowered until the disk v<1> contacts with the bearing v<2>, the edge r<4> being then clear of the levers l. By depressing the knobs i, the flaps g are then raised to be re-engaged by the levers l, thus closing the compartments, which can then be refilled. The mechanism is lifted to its former position by depressing the knob w, so that the lever w<2> is actuated, and the pins n jump into position. The money-box is enclosed in a casing y mounted on a foot y' and covered by a bonnet z. The key for unlocking the casing or the bonnet may be placed in the compartment for the last day of the month. The upper part of the bonnet may be provided with a slot, so that it may be used as a separate saving-box; and it also has an opening for winding up the clock-work, the key for which is kept in the drawer e.

Granted: 1910-05-05
Abstract: 21,461. Marks, E. C. R., [Middleton, F. L.]. Sept. 20. Tobacco. - Relates to tobacco - stemming machines such as those de-- scribed in Specification 4162/08, in which the butt ends of the stems are held by gripper bars carried by endless chains and the tobacco leaves are drawn through stripping-members. The leaves are positioned on a table 11, Fig. 2, against a fixed stop 12, the table being in the position shown, so that the lower gripper bars 6, which rise through the table. elevate the butt ends until they are gripped between the upper and lower gripper bars 6. The gripper bars in order to accommodate different thicknesses of stems are curved from the centre to the ends, which are pressed together by means of guide-bars 12, 13. The spring-pressed stripping- rolls 1, 2 are caused to separate to allow of the passage of the gripper bars by means of bellcrank levers 14, 15 which are engaged by the gripper bars, the stripping-rolls coming together again on the leaf immediately the gripper bars have passed. The stripping-rolls are given a slow clearing-action in the direction shown by the arrows in Fig. 2, by means of ratchets 17 and pawls 18, Fig. 3, operated by rods 20 from eccentrics 23, 24. Combs 27, 28 are provided for the stripping- rolls, and are caused to swing at the conclusion of the stripping-action to clear the rolls. A cam 45, Fig. 3, causes a rod 41 and a sprocket segment 35 to swing. A chain 32 attached to this segment operates the lower comb 28 while the upper comb is operated by the segment soon after the commencement of the swinging movement, a certain amount of lost motion being provided for. The combs are controlled by springs and the lower comb is provided with a cleaner plate 50, Fig. 2, which slides over the comb when the latter swings. The stripped leaf is blown bv a blower 58 into a receiver 64. The lower comb is provided with a dash-pot arrangement to prevent the too sudden return of the comb. The stripping-rollers 1, 2 may be separated, if desired, by means of the cam 45, which may be provided with two projections adapted to engage rolls on the stripping-roller shafts. The stripping-rollers may be given a short quick additional clearing-movement, and for this purpose the rollers are given the slow continuous clearing-motion by means of bands 79, Fig. 8, and the quick additional motion by means of a pin 88 periodically engaging a projection 87 on the rod 86, which operates the ratchets as shown. Stripping-bands may be used instead of stripping-rollers, the rollers carrying the bands at the front end being separated as the gripping-bars approach; and returning to their normal position after the passage of the bars, while the back pair of rollers are likewise separated as the gripping-bars approach. The intermediate part of the bands are free to yield a little to prevent injury to the teeth of the bands.

Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 26,915. Gohy, J. Nov. 19. Dobbies. - In flat-card harness-operating mechanism in which toothed drums 6, 7 and levers 4 carrying vibratory pinions 3 are employed, the cards 8 act upon feeler levers 12, which are thereby caused to engage one of two knives 22, 23. These knives have strokes of different amplitudes, for which purpose they are carried at each end by a lever 24, oscillated by connexion of one of these levers to a link 26 and cam-operated lever 27. The levers 12 are pivoted on levers 14 and are acted upon by springs 35. When a lever 12 is acted upon by a stud or solid part of the card, it is moved into engagement with the knife 22, which then raises the lever 12 and corresponding lever 14 sufficiently to cause the latter to engage and raise the corresponding vibrator lever 4, so that the pinion 3 carried thereby is moved into engagement with the upper drum. The feeler levers engaged by the knife 23 are not moved sufficiently to cause the corresponding levers 4 to be raised, and the corresponding pinions 3 therefore remain in gear with the lower toothed drum. The pattern drum 9 is intermittently rotated by star-wheel gearing, the movements occurring while the feeler levers are being raised by the knives 22, 23.

Inventor: BANCHIERI LUIGI ANTONIO MARIA
IPC: C08J11/20
Filed: 1910-01-11
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 718. Banchieri, L. A. M. Jan. 11. Devulcanizing waste indiarubber. - Indiarubber is devulcanized and reduced to the condition of crude caoutchouc by subjecting it to the action of the vapour of a substance or derivative of the terpene group, preferably a terpinol such as terpene dihydrate. The terpene vapour generated in the generator 1 passes by a pipe 3 into the steam - jacketed devulcanizing chamber 4, in which the rubber is placed in small pieces upon shelves 5, any unabsorbed terpene returning to the generator 1 or to a storage chamber by a pipe 11. In order to recover the terpene from the rubber, the chamber 4 is exhausted by a pump 25 through a pipe 18; the vapour condenses in a coil 17 and collects in a chamber 21, from which it is subsequently drawn off by the pump 25 into a chamber 23. Last traces of terpene are driven off from the rubber by forcing hot air into the chamber 4 through a pipe 13, the vapours escaping through a pipe 31 into a receiver.

Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 4643. Sykes Inter-Locking Signal Co., W. R., and Sykes, W. R. Feb. 24. Visual outdoor signals.-Relates to mechanism for selecting from a series of route or other indicators operating in conjunction with railway or other signals. A semaphore arm A is operated by a rotary Z-shaped armature j through a pitman m. The pitman m has a table or cross-head q, which supports the mid-pivots of a series of toggles r<1>, r<2>. The elements r<1> are severally linked to the arms p<4> to which the route indicators are fixed. The elements r<2> pass through a plate s and normally slide freely upon a plate s<1>. Stop-plates t for the series of elements r<2> are controlled separately by a series of electro-magnets u<4>, the exciting-coils of which form alternative paths for the exciting-current of the coils g. When a signal is to be given that a route is clear, the circuit of the coils g is closed through the coils of the magnet u<4> corresponding to the route and the corresponding stop t is raised. Then as the semaphore is operated through the raising of the pitman m, the element r<2> of the selected toggle is stopped at t and therefore the other element r<1> must operate the lever connexion n as the mid-pivot is raised so bringing the selected route indicator into position, as shown. Of the other toggles, the elements r<2> are free to slide and consequently the elements r' are unable to raise their route indicators. The invention claimed is not restricted to electrical operation but includes any means for selecting route indicators on the operation of a semaphore which comprises means for rendering operative a toggle selected from a series.
