Title: Improvements in Hook Fastenings and the like.
Inventor: STRANSKY EMIL
Filed: 1905-10-27
Granted: 1905-12-07
Abstract: 21,925. Stransky, E. Oct. 27. Hook fastenings. - A hook-fastening device is made somewhat in the form of a button as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The button-shaped part is secured to the material n by means of the flange m, and the second portion of the material is attached to the lug o. In making the attachment, the lug o is brought into the position shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 1, and the pin h attached to the spring hinged lever g is pressed down. The edge of the lug passes along the recessed portion d of the cap b until its slot q comes above the pin h, which then snaps into it. To release the fastening, the lever g is depressed by means of the bent lever e.

Title: An Improved Combined Saw Set, Gauge and Stripper.
Inventor: BREGMEN ALBERT EDWARD
Filed: 1905-11-07
Granted: 1906-02-15
Abstract: 22,826. Bregmen, A. E. Nov. 7. Saws, sharpening and setting.-A tool for sharpening and setting saws has a tapered plate H having a series of holes with saw gates for setting saws of differing thickness, a thumb-screw L working through a projecting piece in conjunction with a scale M and a set-screw N to form a gauge for determining the set of a saw, and an oval, ovate, or rectangular recessed portion B for holding a file by a thumb-screw C for stripping the saws. In use, a file is fixed by the screw C in the recess A of the portion B, and the straight edge G of the plate H is placed against a side of the saw with the file on the teeth. A diagonal surface K prevents the teeth from touching the tool. Then by gripping the tool handle R and keeping the straight edge G against the side of the saw, the file is passed to and fro over the teeth until they are stripped to the desired depth. The tool is then removed, the teeth sharpened in the ordinary way, and the thumb-screw adjusted and checked by the graduated scale M according to the required set. The teeth are then set in the usual manner by depressing and bending any one of the gates O of suitable width on the teeth, and the set is checked by placing the straight edge G against the side of the saw and the end P of the screw L against the teeth.

Granted: 1907-02-09
Abstract: 577. Isenhagen, H. Jan. 9. Signalling-systems; contacts, electric; semaphore and similar outdoor signals.-A train leaving the station A, Fig. 3, on a single track line mechanically actuates an electric track contact I, and places disk signals g, g<1>, g<2> at danger, the signal g<2> being situated at the station B. If however a train has started from the station B, it similarly actuates the track contact II placing the disk signals m, m<1>, m<2> at 'danger.' The track contact comprises a lever a, Fig. 2, on a shaft a', which is rotated when a train wheel moves the lever a over, so closing contacts c, d in one direction of motion only. Wires e lead from the contacts c, d to an electromagnet f, Fig. 4, which when energized attracts its armature h and releases a signal disk k, which is then raised into the' danger' position by gravity. A rope or cable attached to a track contact may restore the signal to safety, or any other means may be employed for this purpose.

Granted: 1907-10-17
Abstract: 23,645. Radford, R. H. Oct. 24. Crucible &c. furnaces.-In regenerative furnaces in which metal to be melted is contained in crucibles or pots, the heating-gases are caused to flow around the pots in an upward and downward direction alternately. The pots d are placed in chambers a, a' separated by a partition wall b, and are supported by a refractory base e formed with a recess e', into which ashes or other material may be placed to form a bed. Gas and air from the regenerator passages f, f<1>, respectively, are delivered to one of the chambers through ports in or near the bottom, or through outlets h, i formed in the base e ; after passing upwardly through the chamber and over the partition wall, they pass downwardly through the adjoining chamber and escape to the regenerators through outlets in or near the bottom of the chamber. A secondary supply of air or gas, or both, may be delivered to the gases from the partition wall. When the gas is taken directly from the producer, the regenerators are utilized for heating the air only ; when " Mond " or other producer gas is delivered under pressure and at a low temperature, the gas may be heated in separate regenerators or in tubular passages formed in the bases e, or in passages formed in the walls of the furnace or the regenerator chambers. The roof may be formed with removable segments or with covers j<1>, suitable tackle being provided for lifting the covers and the melting-pots. Any metal spilled at the bottom of a heating-chamber may escape through ports towards which the bottom inclines. The application to a single furnace or to a series of furnaces, where the heating gases pass in an upward and downward direction alternately, is mentioned in the Specification.
