Granted: 1905-09-21
Abstract: 12,110. Imray, O., [Pressed Prism Plate Glass Co.]. June 9. Surfacing and polishing.- Glass plates or sheets are treated, in an horizontal position, on both sides simultaneously, the frictional forces tending to move the glass in its own plane being made substantially equal and opposite, at every point, on opposite sides of the glass. The upper and lower grinding-disks 47, 48 are mounted on hollow shafts turning in bearings in the stationary plates 49, 50. The shafts for the upper disks are provided with collars 52 carried by counterbalanced levers so as to take some of the weight of the disks off the glass. The lower disks are driven in the opposite direction to the upper ones by chain gearing. The glass is held between removable sheets 63 bolted to a frame 64, which surrounds the glass plate and can be moved about on the bedplate 66. Abrading-material is fed to the upper disk from a hopper 68 through their hollow shafts. To equalize the friction on opposite sides of the glass, the-lower disk may be driven at a slower rate, or, as illustrated, abrading-material mixed with a liquid may be forced under pressure up through the hollow shafts of the disks, thus exerting a lifting action on the glass.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Switches.
Filed: 1905-11-20
Granted: 1906-10-11
Abstract: 23,894. British Thomson-Houston Co., and Wallace, J. M. Nov. 20. Switches.-Relates to power switches in which arcs are drawn in oil pots when contact is broken. The invention consists in providing a plate d, Fig. 2, in the cover b of the oil pots to which the cables are led in pairs, the plate being capable of rotation through ninety degrees into the position shown in Fig. 3, according to whether the cables are connected to the front and back or to the sides of the switch. The multiple oil vessel is attached to the cover or supporting plate b from below in the ordinary way, by wing-nuts c. A gap is left in the plate to be covered by the plate carrying the contacts. Fig. 2 shows the arrangement when the cables are led in at back and front. The switch is of the "bridge" type, three pairs of terminals being shown. If the cables are to be led in at the sides, the plate with contacts is turned through a right-angle, carrying with it the bridging yokes which are connected to arms z depending from a cross-bar n. The cross-bar is lifted by an arrangement of levers.at the side, and engages the central rod by means of a sleeve which is loose and admits of rotation of the bar. Instead of rotating the plate itself to suit the cables, additional holes may be made in it, ordinarily to receive a filling plug, but intended to accommodate cable ends when necessary.

Title: Improvements in Electric Stamp Hammers.
Inventor: GUENEE ALBERT CHARLES JAMES
Filed: 1906-02-08
Granted: 1907-02-08
Abstract: 3119. GuÚnÚe, A. C. J. Feb. 8. Stamps, ore and like.-A solenoid actuating a stamp hammer is operated by a liquid interrupter and an electro-magnetic switch, the circuit of which s controlled by an arm displaced by the hammer and hand-operated switches. The core B, Fig. 1, of the solenoid A is made up of laminations of varying length, Fig. 4, and carries the mass, stamp, or die b. Springs are secured to the cross-piece C, Fig. 1, and to the frame to help the downward stroke of the hammer, or an air-cylinder device may be used instead of springs. A rod D, Fig. 2, which is secured to the core B, carries a brush d over a bar E and separate contacts e. The core may be locked in any position by tilting a framework consisting of two shoes F, Fig. 5, one fixed and the other movable and joined by two rods f, by means of a small eccentric shaft f<1>. The circuit of the solenoid A is completed through a liquid switch G, Figs. 6 and 7, described in Specification No. 3119A, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Electricity, Regulating &c.], and provided with fixed metal plates g and a group of plates H attached to a framework h supported by a cable i passing over pulleys to the core I of a solenoid J. The core I may be locked in its lower position by a bolt k attached to the spring k<1>, and the bolt may be withdrawn by the solenoid K. The circuits of the solenoids J, K are controlled by a switch the arm l of which is moved to touch the contact l<1> or o<1> according as the contact-plates H are raised or lowered by the solenoid J. The arm l is spring-connected to a framework N rocked by a pin 0 as the plates H move up or down. The hand-switch, Fig. 8, consists of double brushes P, Q, each of which slides over a continuous bar p or q and a common row of contacts p<1>. The arrangement of the circuits is shown in Fig. 11, the hammer being in position on its anvil and the brush P having been arranged in accordance with the length of travel required from the hammer. The switch S is closed, and the current passes from X through the brush d in its lowest position, wire T, brush Q in its lowest position, switch S, solenoid K, switch lever l, and wire Y. The solenoid K withdraws the bolt k, and the switch plates H move downwards by the action of the springs h<1>, Fig. 7, till they come into contact with the plates g, thus completing the circuit of the hammer solenoid A and moving the arm l from the contact o<1> to the contact l<1>. The hammer rises until the brush d is on the contact connected to the one under the brush P. The current then flows through the brush d, brush P, solenoid J, switch arm l, and wire Y. The core of the solenoid J is attracted and raises the contact-plates H, thus allowing the hammer to fall. The hammer then rises and falls automatically as long as the switch S is closed. The solenoid A may be rendered operative before the hammer has touched the anvil, by properly placing the brush W.

Title: Improvements in Stenciling or Reproducing Machines
Inventor: UNDERWOOD JOHN THOMAS
Filed: 1907-03-19
Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 6606. Underwood, J. T. March 19. Copying documents &c.-In a rotary stencil printing-machine, the pressure roll 39, between which and the stencil-carrying drum 12 the sheet of paper passes, has journals 36 which rest upon pairs of rollers 34 carried by blocks 29 capable of vertical movement in guides 4 on the standards 2, 3. The shoulders 37, 38 on the journals 36 prevent endlong movement of the roll 39. The slotted ends of a spring plate 76, Fig. 7, are loosely attached to the blocks 29 by screws 51. The pressure of the roll 39 can be adjusted by means of a rod, a screwthread on which engages a threaded bevel-gear 93 meshing with a similar gear 91 on a shaft 96. Rotation of the shaft 96 produces vertical movement of the rod 91. The bevel-gear 93 rests upon a socket 90 pivotally attached to a pivoted lever 80. which is held in the position shown by a lug 84 upon an arm 85. By releasing the lever 80, the pressure of the roll 39 is relaxed. In a modification, a plate similar to 76 is pressed upon by a knife-edged cam on a rotatable shaft 43, Fig. 2. Fast upon the shaft 43 is a worm-wheel 56 engaged by an adjustable worm 58 carried by a housing 57 loose on the shaft. The housing is attached to the standard 3 by pivoted links 60, 61, a tongue on the link 60 entering a recess in the link 61. The pivot pin 67 can, in the position shown, move only in the direction of the arrow, and the pressure of the roll 39 is thus relaxed by the rotation of the shaft 43 and cam. The links 60, 61 may, however, be replaced by a single liuk, pivoted to the standard 3, which prevents rotation of the housing 57 in one direction. The worm gear may be omitted and the shaft 43 is then fitted with a crank. The journals 36 of the pressure roll may rest in the upturned ends of the plate 76 instead of upon the blocks 29. The stencil drum 12 is supported axially on the standard 2 but peripherally upon the standard 3 by means of rollers 14 on horns 13, Fig. 2, and a roller 17, Fig. 7. The drum is revolved by a handle 20 adjustably clamped upon the open end of the drum. The handle is constructed in two parts, as shown, in order that it may be folded vertically.
