Title: Improvements in Leather Working Machines.
Inventor: SLOCOMB FRANK FISHER
IPC: C14C15/00
Filed: 1909-05-26
Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 12,402. Slocomb, F. F. May 26. Reciprocating-tool machines; rotating - tool machines; seasoning and the like.-In a leatherseasoning machine, shown in side elevation in Fig. 1, and part plan in Fig. 2, the hides are carried from a table 9 by a conveyer belt 13 beneath reciprocating rotary seasoning-brushes 45 and are delivered on to a second conveyer 88, which carries them through a drying-chamber 87 having a delivery opening 89. The belt 13 and tightening-gear 18 are mounted in arms 8 which are journalled on the axle 7 of the front belt-roller and are raised to the operative position, shown in Fig. 1, by hand-operated cams 19 having locking-pins 23. The brushes, as shown in Fig. 2, are carried by a frame 28 supported in bearings 30 in the machine - framing 1 by pins 29 and connected by a rod 32 to a crank-disk 35 whereby the whole brush system is oscillated transversely while the brushes are rotated. The brushes are divided into two sets which, by means of sprocket chains 48, 49 and gearing 51, are driven in opposite directions by bevel-gearing 53, the driving- shaft 54 of which is connected to its sprocketwheel 55 by means of a spline which allows the shaft 54 to reciprocate. Each brush consists of a spindle 39, Fig. 5, having end flanges 42 with slots 44 to receive the brushing-elements 45 of felt &c. The flanges may be turned on the spindle when the set-screws 41 are loosened and the spiral angle of the brush may thus be altered or reversed. The hides, which are spread on the belt by rollers 24, 26, 27, Figs. 1 and 2, receive the seasoning from a fixed tank 59, shown in detail in Fig. 6, having outlets on its underside controlled by rotary valves 67. The valve stems carry levers 71 with pin connexions 76, whereby any number of them may be coupled to an operating-rod 75, which is oscillated by means of an elbow 78, connecting- rod 79, Fig. 2, and crank-disk 80 on a chaindriven shaft. An alternative valve is described consisting of a flat plate pivoted directly on the flat end of a tubular outlet. A row of stirrers 60 is suspended in the tank from a rod 62 which is fixed on the reciprocating frame 28. A rotary brush 84, Fig. 1, and guard 85 remove any excess of seasoning and a cleaning-brush is mounted on the underside of the arms 8 to remove any liquid that may be left on the belt 13 after the hides have been delivered to the drying-chamber. The drying is effected by steam-pipes 90, the air circulation being regulated by a fan 93, baffle-plate 93<1>, and a slidedoor 98.

Title: A Cable-way Conveyer for the Transport of Loads, especially suitable for Loading Ships.
Inventor: ADAM HEINRICH OTTO
IPC: B63B27/18
Filed: 1909-12-15
Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 29,321. Adam, H. O. Dec. 15. Transhipping at sea; slings.-The apparatus described in Specification 9573/05, for transhipping at sea and other purposes, in which load-carriers are suspended from a travelling rope by flexible slings which are destroyed at the dumping point, is modified in the following respects: (1) Provision is made for running portions of the travelling rope in different planes without the winding of the flexible slings round it due to axial rotation, by having oscillating guide-pulleys, which automatically adjust themselves to the mean position between the two adjacent runs of the rope. (2) The use of a number of loading-sleeves is rendered practicable by constructing them to surround the upper side of the rope only, so that the slings delivered from the rear sleeves may pass under the preceding sleeves. (3) A number of dumping stations are employed, and a single sling-destroying knife may be moved in guides to the various stations, or, as shown in Fig. 15, a series of knives v, v<1> may be rotated automatically into and out of the acting position in succession by the falling load operating pivoted plates z, z<1> linked to each of the series of knives. It is also stated that all of the slings or selected slings only may be destroyed by the centrifugal action obtained by varying the angular velocity of the travelling-rope by bending it round pulleys of suitable radii for this purpose. (4) Several devices are shown for deflecting the slings past the guide-pulleys without removing the travelling rope therefrom. In one arrangement the guide - pulleys are canted so that the sling hangs clear of the body of the pulley while pasing it. In another arrangement an arm extends from the axis of the guide-pulley laterally underneath the rope, and deflects the slings clear of the pulley. In a third arrangement, shown in Fig. 10, the pulley casing is extended to form an upwardlyprojecting horn l, which deflects the slings laterally. To assist the passage of the slings over the pulley, the rim of the pulley is cut away on the near side, and the rope is retained thereon by a pair of small spring - pressed wheels p.

Title: Improvements in Trigger Mechanism for Automatic Firearms.
Inventor: BORCHARDT HUGO
IPC: F41A19/32
Filed: 1909-12-17
Granted: 1910-09-15
Abstract: 29,622. Borchardt, H. Feb. 26, [Convention date]. Breech actions, sliding breech-block; firing- appliances applicable generally. - Relates to trigger mechanism in which the sear can move longitudinally to escape from the trigger in order to prevent " double shots," such as has already been proposed in connexion with pivoted firing-hammers. The invention consists in the application of such mechanism to small-arms having sliding hammers. In the preferred form, the sear i is bored to receive a spring pin i<4> engaging with the central pivot i<o> so that, when the sear is rocked by the inclined face q<1> of the trigger extension, and the lug d<1> of the firing- pin is released, the sear is moved rearwards out of engagement with the trigger. Owing to the action of the spring i<2>, the nose i<5> of the sear is then projected into the path of the returning firing-pin which causes it again to take up the position shown. If the pressure has not been removed from the trigger, the pin i<1> recedes into its socket until the trigger is released. The trigger is mounted by means of slots upon two pins q<3>, q<4>, as shown in Fig. 2. The pin q<4> first acts as pivot until the trigger has moved to the limit set by the forward slot, whereupon the trigger moves for the rest of its travel about the pivot q<3>. Specification 18,774/93 is referred to.
