The support 13 is pressed upward by a spring 16, the movement being limited by a screw 17, which passes freely through a hole in the otherwise closed end 11 of the holder and engages a threaded recess 18 in the support 13, and a pin 21 moving in a slot 22 may limit the backward motion. The cutting-blade 28 is fitted on a lever 25 which is pivoted to a lug at 26, so as to move alongside an inclined slot 24 in the holder, a spring washer being introduced at the pivot to allow the blade to yield. To the lever 25 is secured a spring plate 29 having a depending pawl 30 which engages teeth 31 on a rotatable chuck at the open end of the holder, the outward movement of the lever being limited by a stop 49 co-operating with a stop 50 on the holder. The chuck is held in position by a ring 38 and is furnished with teeth 35 which engage a pawl 36 in the enlarged part 33 of the holder to prevent return movement, and the pencil is gripped by dogs 41 which are pressed inwards by a conical face 44 on an adjustable casing 45 bearing on the inclined backs 43 of the dogs. The casing may be secured in position by a pin 48, and is surrounded by a slip collar 47.

Filed: 1910-09-16
Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 21,606. Lang, J. G. Sept. 16. Variable - speed gearing comprises a driving-wheel 3 and a driven wheel 4 arranged eccentrically relatively to o n e another, and an intermediate a djustable member having spokes 5 which open out and close in as they revolve. The wheel 3, which turns loosely upon an eccentric 2, Fig. 8, upon a fixed spindle 1, is constantly driven from a toothed gear 16. The bosses 13 of the separate spokes 5 are threaded upon an eccentric 20, which is connected by a sleeve 19 to a handle 17, and is adjustably supported on the spindle 1. The wheel 4, which carries a transmission element 18, is formed internally with ratchet-like teeth capable of being engaged and driven by the ends of the spokes 5. The spokes 5 are driven by equidistant fingers 15 projecting from the gear 3, and the eccentricity of the parts causes the spokes 5 to have different angular velocities. On turning the eccentric 20 by hand, the spokes 5 in different phases can be caused to drive the wheel 4 at different speeds. In a modification, the eccentric 20 is fixed, and the eccentric 2 is adjusted to vary the speed. In a further modification, it is the wheel 4 that is mounted on the adjustable eccentric.

Abstract: 25,872. Kinzlberger & Co. Nov. 25, 1909, [Convention date]. Hyposulphites.-Anhydrous hyposulphites are obtained by causing formic acid or formates to react with sulphurous acid, sulphites, or bisulphites in the absence of water, formates or sulphates or other salts being added to provide the necessary base when formic and sulphurous acids are used. In the examples, an alcoholic solution of acid sodium formate is heated with sulphurous acid; an alcoholic solution of ammonia is mixed with an alcoholic solution of sulphurous acid, and potassium formate is added; and powdered sodium bisulphite is added to melted ammonium formate, the product being freed from salts of ammonia by heating in vacuo. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) includes other examples in which sulphurous acid is introduced into a mixture of sodium bisulphite, ammonium formate, and 96 per cent alcohol, and a mixture of sodium chloride, ammonia, 90 per cent alcohol, sulphurous acid, and ammonium formate is boiled together. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 26,153. Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Co., [Entwistle, W. S.]. Nov. 22. High - potential switches; pneumatic blow-outs. - The contact blades 3, Fig. 3, of a high - tension switch are mounted loosely upon a spindle 1 and are oscillated to and fro between the contacts 13 and the stops 14 by an arm 4 secured to the spindle, which is oscillated by the armature of a small electric motor 10, 11, Fig. 2, or by other means, and the spark set up between the moving and fixed contacts is blown out by a stream of air projected across the line of movement of the ends of the blades from a narrow jet 18, Figs. 3 and 10, of considerable length set at right angles to the sparking line. Some slight free movement exists between the forked ends of the arms 4 and the contact blades, so that when the current in the motor is reversed to break contact between the contacts 13, 3, the break is assisted by the action of a pair of coiled springs which tend to rotate the spindle to put the coutacts normally in the off position. The jets 18 are formed by contracting the upper ends of the hollow standards 19 which serve as supports for the fixed contacts. Air is blown continuously through these hollow pillars, or is blown intermittently under the control of valves operated when the circuit is interrupted. instead of actuating the switch by the small electric motor, as shown, magnetic, pneumatic, or hand actuation may be used.
