Title: An Improved Means for Securing Garments to Prevent the Removal thereof from Coat Pegs and the like.
Inventor: SCHROEDER GABRIEL
Filed: 1901-07-20
Granted: 1902-06-12
Abstract: 14,796. Schr÷der, G., and Pratz, F. July 20. Suspenders for articles of dress.- Suspensory chains for garments aro provided with locking- appliances to prevent their unauthorized withdrawal from coat pegs and the like. Figs. 1 and 2 show one form. The locking-appliance a consists of two pivoted arms d, the lower ends of which are held by a spring h in recesses e in the chain b. The upper ends of the arms d have forked extensions f with which a plate g is engaged. In use, the lock a is moved upwards to engage tightly with the peg so that the knob at the outer end of the peg prevents the chain from being withdrawn. To remove the garment, the plate g is raised by a key which causes the lower ends of the arms d to be removed from the recesses e, and allows the lock to be moved downwards. The spring h may be replaced by a flat spring bearing on the plate g. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which the lower ends of sliding-arms l are engaged in recesses i in the chain and are held therein bv a spring-pressed wedge-shaped piece m. When the wedge m is raised by a key, springs o remove the arms l from the recesses i. Each link of the chain consists of a flat piece of metal, and has a hole punched through it at each end. The burrs or ridges formed in punching the holes are used to connect the links together by introducing the burr on one link into one of the holes in another link from which the burr has been removed, and then the end of the burr so introduced is turned down.

Title: Improvements in Clutches
Inventor: FRASER JOHN
Filed: 1901-10-24
Granted: 1902-08-28
Abstract: 21,308. Fraser, J., Fraser, P., and Fraser, N. Oct. 24. Clutches; ratchet gear- ing.-The screw K by which the friction band A is expanded in the shell S is rotated by ratchet and pawl, so that any desired pressure may be imparted to it by successive movement of the operating-sleeve P<2>. The ratchet - wheel is fixed to the screw at the side of a loose lever P, which is linked to the sleeve and carries two pawls. The tails of the pawls are pressed apart by a spring ; between their toothed ends is a fixed segmental plate which, when the lever is moved, throws the idle pawl out of gear. Move- ments of the sleeve out- wards from its central position cause the engage- ment of one pawl and rotation of the screw in one direction; movements inwards from the central position bring the other pawl into action to rotate the screw in the opposite direction. Reverse movement of the screw on the return stroke of a pawl is prevented by a washer K<3>, on the stem of the screw, which is pressed against the supporting-key K<2> by a spring.

Abstract: 23,239. Fischer, E. Nov. 18. Cutting-machines for cardboard &c.-Relates to a machine for bevelling the edges of cardboard, pasteboard, &c. The sheets are placed in a pile in a box 3, and removed one at a time from the bottom thereof by a reciprocating slide 8. On the forward part of the table 2, to which the sheet is moved by the slide 8, the sheet is adjusted laterally by spring fingers 13, which are operated intermittently against the action of their spring by a cam-shaped projection 41 on the rod 30, which forms part of the lever mechanism for operating the cutter 24. During the cutting operation, the board is held in the adjusted position by a clamp operated by the levers 18, 19 and a cam on the shaft 12. The cutter is suspended by arms 25 from the upper end of a casing 22, the inclination of which can be adjusted according to the angle of inclination of the cut required. The bevelled sheet is finally removed from the table into a receptacle 32 by a system of levers 33, 34. 35. which reciprocate a shaft carrying a number of fingers which can turn freely in one direction, but not in the other, so that, when moving towards the receptacle 32, they catch the edge of the board and move it over the edge of the table into the receptacle. If desired, a second knife may be mounted on the table, so that the edges may be cut simultaneously.
