Inventor: MILLER ADAM
IPC: B43L13/02
Filed: 1909-04-06
Granted: 1910-04-06
Abstract: 8354. Miller, A. April 6. Rulers.-A drawing-instrument for drawing parallel lines, for use either with or without a drafting-machine, comprises a rule 76 and a scale 77 arranged relatively to the rule 76 so that the divisions of the scale 77 measure from a line drawn against the rule 76 and not from the actual edge of the rule, thus rendering scaling automatic. The allowance made for the distance between the actual line drawn and the edge of the rule is about one sixty-fourth of an inch, but may be adjusted as desired by the spring clips 78. Preferably, a scale-rule frame is used in which the arrangement described is doubled, i.e. in which four scale rules 86 are arranged at right-angles, Fig. 12, so that two intersecting lines at right-angles may be drawn without moving the instrument, the scales being divided and marked to read from lines drawn and not from the actual ruling-edges. The rule-frame may be transparent and provided with lines 95 parallel to the ruling edges. Other modified forms of the rule frame are described in which the inner scale is adjustable and measures from the outer edge of the frame.

Title: Improvements in Marine Signalling Apparatus.
Inventor: SCHIESSLER JOSEF
IPC: G01S11/16
Filed: 1909-04-28
Granted: 1910-02-24
Abstract: 10,083. Schiessler, J. April 28. Stop - mechanism. - In an apparatus for locating the distance of a sound, a clock hand is started by the arrival of a wireless signal and restored by the arrival of the sound, indicators being at the same time selected which show the minutes and seconds taken by the sound in travelling from the distant station. The electro-magnetic waves act on a tuned circuit-closing device 25, 24 so as to energize an electro-magnet which starts the clock-work indicator 23. The sound waves are translated by special arrangements into electric-current variations, which are impressed on a second circuitcloser 16, 17, and thereby energize an electromagnet, which restores the clock-hand at once to its zero position and at the same time causes a display of the time-indication. For this purpose, the restoring electro - magnet is arranged to close the circuit of one out of sixty falling-flap indicators, the particular indicator being selected by the co - operation of the seconds - hand with a ring of sixty contactplungers. When the seconds-hand has made one complete revolution, it energizes the first of a series of minutes-indicators, which drops its flap and transfers the connexions to the second of the series, which is energized on the seconds-hand completing its second revolution, and so on. Provision is made in this way for showing in minutes and seconds any timeindication up to ten minutes. Electric bells 20, 21 of distinctive tone are energized at the same time as the magnets which start and restore the clock-hand.

Abstract: 18,368. Martin, H. Aug. 9. Feeding webs.-In a machine for applying ornaments composed of metal wires and textile materials to textile fabric, the fabric is stretched by parallel rows of pins during the insertion of the ornament and is intermittently fed forward. Specially designed pliers grip a length of the ornamenting material 16 and then push it through the fabric a against the support 90. After passing through the fabric, the pliers are rotated by a rack and pinions, thereby twisting the end of the ornament over a mesh of the fabric, after which the pliers open and are withdrawn, leaving the ornament in the fabric. During the insertion of the pliers, the fabric is stretched by parallel rows of pins 50, one of which is adjusted by suitable cams so as to release the tension and hold the ornament in the mesbes of the fabric after insertion. The fabric is moved forward step by step by a second pair of rows of pins 71 capable of upward and horizontal travel on rails on a rising and falling frame. The various motions are driven by cams from a main shaft O.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Band Saws.
Inventor: KOTZ ERNEST HENRY
IPC: B23D55/08
Filed: 1909-11-09
Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 25,812. Kotz, E. H. Nov. 9. Band-saw machines.-In a band-saw machine of the type in which the saw is carried by pulleys arranged in a plate inclined to the axis of the bar to be cut, the pulleys i, l are carried by an arm f having a forked end formed with bearings g, g by which it is mounted on a driving-shaft a in such a manner as to allow it to be swivelled in a plane at right-angles to the axis of the bar. The pulley i is carried in a U-shaped bend h in the arm f, and is rotated from the driving-shaft a through bevel-gearing p, q. The pulley l is carried at the other end of the arm f by a block m sliding in a slot n and adjusted by a screw o to alter the tension of the saw. The cutting-portion of the saw blade is guided by rollers or other antifriction devices x mounted in carriers w which are adjustably pivoted in brackets y secured to the arm f. In order that the saw blade may not be pressed too heavily on the bar, the weight of the arm f may be partially counterbalanced by a weight or spring, or, as shown in Fig. 4, an adjustable spring-pressed plunger u engages a lug v on one of the bearings g. The movement of the arm f about the shaft a may be limited by securing to the bend h a curved bar passing through a slot in the machine frame and provided with adjustable stops to hold the arm in its extreme positions; or a screw s carried by a bracket t, Fig. 4, may engage the forked arm f when the saw has completed a cut. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the shaft a is driven from the pulley 4 through a clutch 6 operated by a clutch lever 3 and gear-wheels 7, 8, 9 meshing with gear-wheels 10, 11, 12 respectively. Any one of the gear-wheels 10, 11, 12 may be locked to the shaft a by means of a sliding key operated by a slide 13. When the work is cut through, the clutch 6 is thrown out of gear by a pin on the pulley l engaging a lever 29 connected to the clutch lever 3. In a modification, instead of the saw moving down to the work, the arm is swivelled against a stop to the upright position, and the work is fixed in a vice mounted so as to be capable of swivelling in the machine frame and fed to the saw by a falling weight, a screw-feed, or other suitable means. In another modification, Fig. 10, the arm f is pivoted on a pin 24, which has a head 25 embracing the shaft a and carries the bevelpinion p; the arm f is thus rendered capable of swinging in planes parallel to the work.
