Title: Improvements in or connected with Explosive Shells.
Inventor: HALE FREDERICK MARTEN
Filed: 1907-11-29
Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 26,438. Hale, F. M. Nov. 29. Fuses for projectiles. -The bursting-charge is sealed from the detonator by a metal cap or plate, which is sheared on impact by a punch normally retained by centrifugally - released bolts. This is effected, together with a delay action, by the device shown in section in Fig. 2, in which a hammer H is normally retained by the bolts M and carries a tube G or a series of metal rods, which bear at the forward end a punch F, The needle pellet J is held by the shearing-wire P at the base of the passage N, the detonator D being fixed at the other end. On impact, the hammer H moves forward, causing the cap C to be sheared, and, at a later instant, the pellet J to fire the detonator D to which the bursting-charge is then exposed. The cap need not be made integral with the fuse. If desired, an igniting-charge T, Fig. 5, may be provided.

Title: Machine for Polishing the Bevel Edges and Flat Surfaces of Glass Plates.
Inventor: OFFENBACHER EMIL
Filed: 1908-01-02
Granted: 1909-02-02
Abstract: 125. Offenbacher, E. Jan. 2, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Surfacing and polishing.- Relates to a machine which may be used for polishing both the bevel edges and the flat surfaces of glass plates. The tools, which are fixed when the machine is employed for polishing bevels and are mounted on rotary spindles when flat surfaces are being polished, are carried by a bar, which has imparted to it two independent reciprocatory movements at rightangles to one another, The table may also have a reciprocatory movement imparted to it when the machine is used for polishing plane surfaces. The tools are secured to a bar 2, Fig. 4, which is carried in guides on pillars 8, and is reciprocated across the table 7, on which the work rests, by a crank 4 and connecting-rod 3. The bar 2 is given an additional reciprocation in a direction at right-angles by eccentrics 6 on vertical shafts 9, which are driven by chain gearing from a countershaft, which is in turn driven from the main shaft 10. In the modified form of apparatus shown in Figs. 9 and 11, the table 7 is supported on adjustable rollers 21, and may be reciprocated by a crank 23 and connecting- rod 24. The tools, which may be in the form of fixed blocks 42 or rotary disks 16, are carried by the bar 2 and are reciprocated by the crank 4 and connecting-rod 3. The reciprocation in the other direction is imparted by eccentrics 9, which operate in slots 18 in the bar 2. When it is intended to polish bevels, the motion of the table is scopped, and the fixed tools are used. When it is intended to polish surfaces, the table is reciprocated, and the rotary tools 16 are used, their rotation being brought about by friction or in any suitable manner. The glass plates are held upon the table 7 when the bevel is being polished by clamps 59, Fig. 17, carried by screwed spindles 56, supported by the beam 55 and adjusted by band-wheels 57. The fixed tools 42, Fig. 20, are supported from brackets 39 secured to the beam 2. The tool support 1 is mounted upon a spindle 35, the flat ends of which pass through slots 38 in the brackets 39. the inclination of the tools may be altered by a screw 41 passing through a fixed bracket 40 engaging a stop 42 on the tool support. The ends of the spindle 35 are connected by links 46 to eccentrics 49 on a spindle 50, which may be rotated by a handle to raise the tool.

The point tongue 4, Fig. 1, is connected by a rod 5 to an elbow lever 6, which is acted upon by a spring 17 in a direction to open the points. The points are normally held closed by a spring catch 14 acting on a pivoted plate 13, which is connected by a rod 11 to the lever 6. If the driver of the vehicle desires to proceed to the branch line, he depresses a plunger 19, Fig. 4, on the vehicle to engage and release the catch 14. The spring 17 then moves the points to the open position. The vehicle, after passing the points, re-sets them for the main line by running over a projection 37, Fig. 3, on a lever 36, which is connected by a rod or cable 18, enclosed in a tube 35, to the bar 11, Fig. 1. The catch 14 is mounted in an additional rail 34, preferably forming part of the road box 8 which encloses the mechanism. The plunger 19, Fig. 4, is mounted in guides on the pilot board 22 and is normally held up by a spring 20, but can be lowered, when required, by depressing a treadle 26 connected by a lever 27 and a cable or the like 28 to a pulley 24 fixed to a spindle 25, which is fitted with a crank 30 for engaging a slot 32 in the plunger.
