Title: Method and Means for Removing the Gutta Percha Covers or Exteriors from Golf Balls.
Inventor: LOOMIS EVARTS GREENE
Filed: 1907-10-10
Granted: 1908-06-11
Abstract: 22,379. Loomis, E. G. Oct. 10. Balls.-An apparatus for removing the gutta-percha, balata, &c. cover from golf balls consists of a stationary steam, hydraulic, &c. cylinder 1, carrying on posts 2 a head-plate 3 to the underside of which is secured a die head 4. The lower part of the die head is provided with inclined guide-slots 11, in each of which slides a wedge-shaped die 8 having an arcshaped inner faceÀ the dies when assembled in their uppermost position form a truncated spherical space. A plunger 6 attached to a sleeve 16 slides within the head 4, and by bearing on the dies pushes them into the opened position shown in Fig. 1. The spherical form of the dies is completed at the top by a die 9 fastened to the end by an ejector rod 15 and carried by a collar 25 and pin 26 slidable in a slot 27<1> in the sleeve 16. The bottom of the sphere is completed by a die 27 supported on a platen 19 which is attached to a cross-bead 17 by rods 20. A lock controlling-rod 21 flattened as shown is guided through the head-plate 3 and cross-head 17 so as to control a pawl 22 sliding in the cross-head. The dies are perforated and connected by suitable holes so as to allow the melted gutta-percha to flow freely away by the orifice 35. In operation, starting with the machine in the position shown, the ball is placed on the lower die 27 and steam is admitted to the cylinder 1. The platen 19 is thus raised until the ball contacts with the die 9, which is then forced upwards against the plunger 6. The die holder 29 then presses up the dies 8, which therefore move inwards against the ball, and the heat produced by the circulation of steam through passages in the die head causes the gutta-percha to exude through the perforations in the dies. In the meantime the pawl 22, coming into engagement with the shoulder 23, has been pushed inwards to engage the shoulder 18 and lock the sleeve 16 in its raised position. Steam is then admitted to the other end of the cylinder 1, and the cross-head 17 and sleeve 16 are depressed, the dies 8 are forced down and opened, the pawl 22 is released, and finally the ejector die 9 is forced down into the position shown.

Title: Improvements in Means for Measuring the Flow of Steam or other Fluids.
Inventor: GEHRE MAX
Filed: 1907-11-01
Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 24,196. Gehre, M. Nov. 1. Pressure gauges.-Relates to improvements in means for measuring the flow of steam and other fluids, of the kind in which the difference in pressure before and behind a throttle plate varies the quantity of mercury in a spring-supported receptacle, which operates the indicating-means. The pipes from either side of the throttle a are led to a pivoted piece g and communicate through this with pipes d, d' leading to the chamber e. Interposed on one side is a vessel c containing mercury which is forced by the pressure into the chamber e, displacing the latter against the action of a spring f. The inclination of the chamber e is arranged so that the motion round the pivots is proportional to the flow of steam, or the vessel may be shaped so as to give the same effect. The mercury is covered at each end by water, as described in Specifications No. 21,178, A.D. 1904, and No. 9126, A.D. 1905.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Pneumatic Tools.
Inventor: PALMROS ALEXANDER
Filed: 1907-11-28
Granted: 1908-11-30
Abstract: 26,320. Palmros, A., Wagner, G. A., and Wagner, J. L. Nov. 28. Hammers, power. - A percussive pneumatic tool in which the pressure is developed in situ comprises a prime mover, a pressure - developing piston actuated thereby, and a pressure-driven piston to deliver the stroke. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the cylinder 1 contains the driving and driven pistons 2, 3, and the driving-piston 2 is reciprocated by an electric motor 4 through gearing. The motor pinion 6 engages a toothed wheel 7 formed with internal teeth which mesh with a pinion 11 mounted on an eccentric journal 10 on the wheel 7. The journal 10 carries a crank 12 connected to the end of the piston-rod 5, and the parts are so proportioned that the crank-pin 12 is always in the line of reciprocation of the rod 5. On the forward stroke of the piston 2, air is sucked in through an outwardly closing valve 19, and the air in front is driven out through an inwardly closing valve 20. On the backward stroke, the piston 2 compresses the air behind it and exhausts air behind the piston 3, causing the latter to move backwards until a port 17 is uncovered, when the two pistons move backward together. When the piston 2 has passed the forward end of a passage 16, the compressed air from the space 18<a> enters the space between the pistons and causes the working stroke of the piston 3, during which the air in front escapes through the valve 20 and port 17. At the end of the stroke some of the air is trapped and forms a cushion. The piston 2 continues its backward motion a short distance further, after which the cycle of operations is repeated. If the suction is not sufficient to cause the retraction of the piston 3, the latter may be provided with gripping- dogs 21, Fig. 3, which automatically engage with a stud 22 on the piston 2, and are released when rods 23 strike against the rear head of the cylinder, or the dogs may be released by a pressure cylinder which yields to the driving-pressure as the forward end of the passage 16 is uncovered ; or the retractive influence of the piston 2 may be assisted by electromagnetic means, the current being established automatically at the required times. In another arrangement the cylinder 1 is formed with ports 30, 31, 32, Fig. 6, communicating with a cylinder 33 and controlled by a slide valve 34, the latter being reciprocated so that during the forward motion of the piston 3 air escapes through the port 31 to the atmosphere ; near the end of the stroke a portion of the driving-pressure is admitted through port 30 to the cylinder, and at the end of the stroke, the port 30 is closed, and the trapped air in the cylinder 33 is delivered through the port 32 to cause the retraction. The two ends of the cylinder 33 are in communication.

Abstract: 3755. Jensen, C. A., [Mansfield, E.]. Feb. 15. [Cognate Application 13,145/09.] Roulette.-A roulette or race-game apparatus comprises a number of revolving arms 3 carrying horses, ships, or other models 19 adapted to move over a chart, Fig. 1. The chart has a series of spaces, each space being marked with the name of a town and divided into a number of sections bearing similar designations. Each space is further divided, and the sections are marked " odd " and " even," " ordinary " and " special." The arms 3 are driven by clockwork 4, and are composed of two wires attached to a boss 20 and braced together at the ends by blocks 25. Between the wires is a third wire 26 carrying a spring - pressed weight 29, which under the action of centrifugal force moves the wire 26 radially and thereby unclutches the boss 20 from the central spindle 21. The arm then continues to revolve freely until the speed diminishes sufficiently for the rod 26 to return and again lock the boss 20 to the central spindle. By arranging the weights 29 at varying distances from the centre of rotation, the arms are made to pass and repass one another, but on coming to rest the arms assume a fixed angular relation to one another. After the arms 3 have attained the desired speed, the central spindle 21 is unclutched from the driving- mechanism by means of a hand-operated clutch 35, and a brake 31 is applied.
