Filed: 1909-02-06
Granted: 1910-03-07
Abstract: 2898. Auster, A. C. Feb. 6. Wind-guards.-Wind and weather screens for protecting the rear or front seats of motor and other vehicles are adapted to be adjusted from one position to a parallel position by a single movement in a horizontal direction, and to be automatically self-sustained in all positions. One form of screen support is shown in Fig. 4, and comprises a screen a carried by folding arms b, jointed in the middle, and hinged to the screen at b<3> and to brackets c behind the driver's seat. The arms are locked in the folded, extended, and intermediate positions by a telescopic rod d, or by locking-joints. The screen is pivoted about an horizontal axis, and can be fixed in position by locking-joints e<2>. Side wings may be mounted on it by means of adjustable self-locking hinges, Fig. 7. The open space beneath the screen may be closed by an apron carried by the lower edge of the screen. In a modification, Fig. 8, the standards are secured pivotally to rods h sliding in horizontal tubes h<1> arranged under the front seats. In further modifications, the standards are adapted to slide bodily within grooves in the car floor, or have eyes capable of sliding on rods on the car floor. Instead of single jointed arms for supporting the screen, the arms may be arranged on the lazy-tongs principle.

Abstract: 10,606. Lawrence, G. F., and Field, A. J. May 4. Knives, cleaning.-In knife-cleaning machines of the rotary-disk type, a continuous bearing- surface for the back of the knife is provided in the space between the disks. The disks a, dished as shown, carry rings e of cleaning- material and are mounted, one loosely upon a stationary tube t and the other fixedly on a hollow spindle 7 carrying the crank 8. The pressure is obtained by means of an adjustable spring w which bears against a disk v in contact with the adjacent disk a. The hollow spindle 7 is adapted to receive a receptacle 18 from which the cleaning powder may gradually escape into the interior. The steadying-rest 12 is secured to the tube t and forms the bearing-surface for the back of the knife; it may contain an auxiliary rest for the edge of the knife. In order to obtain resiliency the disks a are slit circumferentially and radially. The casing of the machine is of stamped sheet metal and is formed in two parts hinged at l and fastened together by a hasp o. The crank 8 is made of wire and is pivoted to plates 20 fixed to the spindle 7. To hold the crank in the actuating position, its arms are sprung behind ears formed at the extremities of the plates 20. According to the Provisional Specification annular strips on the disks a are adapted to bear against abutments on the casing, so as to prevent the disks from rocking.

Granted: 1911-06-01
Abstract: 27,147. Norton, C. L. Nov. 22. Steam - cutting machines; rolling-machines; processes.- Fibro-cement slabs are formed by first subjecting a dry layer of thoroughly mixed fibre and cement to pressure, then applying water or other suitable setting-liquid, and finally compacting the wet layer under pressure. In apparatus shown in Fig. 2 for carrying out the process, a mixture of asbestos or other suitable fibrous material and cement fed into a hopper H is delivered through an adjustable gate H<1> on to an endless belt B travelling over a table A. The travelling belt carries the mixture under spiral picker rolls S, S<1>, which brush off surplus material and exercise a combing action, and then between two pressure rolls L, U mounted in fixed and adjustable spring bearings respectively. The pressure rolls L, U compress the layer to about one-half its original thickness, and it then leaves the belt A and passes over a bridge-piece E to a second endless belt B', travelling over a second table A'. The endless belt B' carries the material first beneath a cam-operated oscillating water-sprinkler V, and then between pressure rolls L', U' similar to the pressure rolls L, U, where it is again compressed. The compressed layer may then be cut into slabs of the required thickness by a cam-operated cutting-device K, and the slabs are deposited on a table N, from which they can be removed and stacked up in presses with metal sheets interposed between them until they are dry. A scraper x and trough x<1> may be provided to catch any material that may adhere to the roll U. The picker rolls S, S<1> are driven from a pulley P on the main driving-shaft by means of belt gearing p, p<1>, and the rolls L<1>, U<1>, L, U are driven from the main shaft by means of toothed gearing G, G<1>, G<2>, G<3>, G<4>, G<5>. A suitable composition for the slabs is one part by weight of fibre to three parts of cement. The setting of the product may be accelerated and its strength increased by adding from 2 to 10 per cent of finely ground quartz sand.

Title: Improvements in Pleating Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS

Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 27,955. Boult, A. J., [Troy Laundry Machinery Co.]. Dec. 1. Pleating.-Relates to apparatus of the type in which a graduated cam produces an adjustable reciprocation of a blade 22, Fig. 5, to carry a fold of fabric fed between tension bars 53, 54, between heated pressure bucks 11, 12. The buck 12 is mounted on a bar 17, pivoted at 16 and. weighted at 21, the weight being sustainable in a raised position by a tripping-lever. A cam 28 on a rotatable shaft 25 presses against a spring 29 attached to an extension of the blade-carrier, and depresses the blade when it is pressed forward to take up a fold. The upper part 13 of the frame is spaced from the bed 14 at one side, to admit of the work being fed in edgeways when desired. The blade-carrier is pivoted on the lower end of a frame 24, which is pivoted on the shaft 25 and receives a rocking motion thereon by means of a connecting- rod 50, Fig. 2, a bell-crank 47 pivoted at 48, and a rod 45 which has an adjustable screw engagement with the strap 52 of the driving- eccentric 32 on the shaft 25. The chief feature of the invention is the means for adjusting the throw of the pleating-blade. To effect this, a rectangular part 32<1>, Fig. 8, is cut out of the eccentric, into which fits the squared part 35. Fig. 9, of a bolt 33, which is secured by a pin 34 to the shaft 25. The bolt has a screwed end 36 on which a hand-nut 37 can be rotated home to clamp the bolt to the eccentric in any desired position, as indicated by a pin 39 on the bolt on a scale 40 on the eccentric. The bed 14 is also graduated to indicate the actual travel of the blade. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 1901/78. 2251/78, 5111/78, 1074/80, and 5343/81.
