Granted: 1911-12-07
Abstract: 15,680. B³tow, C. July 5. Screw propellers for ships, aeroplanes, toys, ventilating-fans, &c. formed with blades which when spread out flat, have substantially the form shown in Fig. 4. In the finished propeller, the prongs 3, 3, Figs. 1 and 4, are wound helically around the hub 1 in such manner that their generating-line, which at the middle of the blade, is perpendicular to the shaft, towards the ends of the propeller gradually inclines increasingly to the axis until at the extreme points of the fork it is parallel thereto. In a modified form, the middle portion is inclined to the axis, and the two end portions have a generatrix which is gradually more and more outwardly inclined to the axis. Fig. 5 shows an elevation of this form.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Blotting Attachments for Fountain Pens and other Writing Implements with Ink Reservoirs.
Inventor: WIDMER HARRY ALPHONSE
IPC: B43K29/04
Filed: 1911-11-15
Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 25,481. Widmer, H. A. Nov. 15. Blotting-appliances; pens.-A blotting-attachment for reservoir pens &c. comprises a cylindrical blotting-pad in the form of a roller 1, Fig. 2, adapted to be retained in the cap 3 of the pen when not in use, and to be slid out of the cap when required. The roller 1 is mounted on a screwed spindle 4 in a semicircular casing 2 having disk ends and provided with a link member 6 in the form of an inclined arm, which is connected to a sliding ring or ejecting member 7 by a pin 10 adapted to slide in a longitudinal slot 8 in the cap. A spring 9 is connected with the arm 6 in such a manner that it tends to press the arm into a position parallel to the axis of the cap; consequently, when the roller casing has been ejected by sliding forward the ring 7, the blotting-roller sets at an angle to the axis of the cap suitable for using the blotter. In a modification as shown in Fig. 4, the roller casing is independent of the cap but is retained therein by means of a resilient spring 12 attached to the roller casing 2 and carrying a finger-piece 13 which bears against the inner wall of the cap. In this form, the roller is withdrawn from the cap by means of a button 11 attached to the end of the spindle 4.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Ribbon Inking-devices for Printing Machines.
Inventor: DICKER STANLEY GORDON SINCLAIR
IPC: B41L47/46

Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 7521. Dicker, S. G. S., [Rogers Addresser Co.]. March 28. Ink-ribbon mechanism.-In addressing or like machines such as those described in Specifications 29,241/09, [Class 100(ii), Printing processes &c.], 21,952/10, and 27,190/10, the ink ribbon is fed from a reel 18 to a spring- actuated take-up reel 19 in a series of movements timed to the printing operations, the ribbon being fed off the reel, preferably at a slightly greater speed than it is drawn forwards by the printing rolls 5, 6, so that no resistance is offered by the pull of the ribbon. The reel 18 is driven from the rear shaft of the conveyer mechanism through a chain 26 and gearing 22. 27, 28 but is normally lifted out of gear by a spring 46' acting through arms 46, 49 and a link 50 engaging a bell-crank lever 36. During printing, a cam 44, driven from the printing-roll 5, actuates the arm 46 to engage the reel 18 with its driving-mechanism. To effect the rewinding of the ribbon, the reel 18 is provided with a stronger spring than the reel 19, its action being restrained by a pawl 76 and a ratchet 75. When the end of a series of printing-plates is reached, and the drawer 79 containing the plates is removed, an arm 80 on a spring-actuated shaft 81 is released, and a block 82 trips the pawl 76 so that the ribbon is rewound upon a reel 18.

Granted: 1913-05-05
Abstract: 8266. Parsons, Sir C. A. April 4. Thrust bearings; cylindrical-journal bearings; rectilinear-motion bearings.-To permit reversal of the direction of motion in thrust or other bearings provided with pivoted pressure blocks, each block is pivoted about an axis lying in a plane at right-angles to the direction of relative motion between the bearing-parts, and bisecting the contacting surface of the block. A thrust collar on a shaft d, Fig. 2, bears against a number of blocks f, free to tilt on projections or ribs lying radially across the back of each block. The projections are in planes bisecting the bearing-surfaces of the blocks at lines k. Lubricant is supplied to the casing at l and is discharged at m; a film of oil, thicker at its leading edge, is drawn between the thrust collar and each block. Fig. 5 shows the application to a shaft bearing; a number of blocks s are pivoted on pins r, and their movement is limited by projections on the bearing casing separating adjacent blocks. Fig. 7 shows an engine crosshead bearing provided with a pivoted block y on its upper and lower sides.

Granted: 1913-04-17
Abstract: 9272. Spiess, G. April 19. Delivery apparatus.-The descent of a table or support on to which sheets from a sorting- machine are filed or stacked is controlled by a feeler resting on the uppermost sheet of the pile and itself controlling a ratchet gear by which the table is lowered. The sheets fed on to a board A are conveyed frictionally by bands C against stops D on the pile table B, which is supported on screwed spindles E havel-geared with a cross-shaft in gear with a shaft carrying a ratchet-wheel G. The ratchet-wheel shaft carries a donble-armed lever H oscillated by a rod I and carrying a pivoted pawl F, and also a second double-armed lever one arm of which rests on the pile and the other R carries a pin S below the pawl. As the sheets accumulate, the movement of the feeler allows the pawl to engage the wheel G and lower the table until the pin S again disengages the pawl.

Granted: 1913-06-26
Abstract: 15,346. Durio, J. July 1. Chrome and like mineral tanning; vegetable tanning; vats, arrangement of.-After depilation, and unliming, hides are washed in soft water, and as much water as possible is removed by pressure or by means of a hydroextractor. They are then folded heads to tails and preferably laid one by one in a shallow pit, tanning extract being applied to their upper or exposed parts as they are laid in. When one part of each hide has been treated, it is folded in the opposite direction and the other part is treated similarly and the pile is left for the absorption of the tannin. A second application of extract is then made, and the process is repeated until the tannage is complete. The extract which flows from the pile is collected for concentration. The preferred vegetable extract contains 32 per cent of tannin and has a strength of 25‹ BÚ., but solid extract, or separate extracts of chestnut, oak, valonia, or mimosa of other densities may be used. The method may also be used with chrome or alum solutions, alone or in combination with vegetable extracts. The process may be carried out with the arrangements shown, comprising pits a supplied from a reservoir b and communicating through pipes f, g with reservoirs d, e, which receive respectively extract of full strength and extract requiring concentration in the apparatus h.
