Title: Improvements in Razor Stropping Machines.
Inventor: CLAUSS JOHN HENRY
IPC: B24D15/08
Filed: 1912-08-24
Granted: 1912-10-24
Abstract: 19,416. Clauss, J. H. Aug. 24. Stropping - apparatus.-A stropping - machine for ordinary and safety razors comprises a main frame 1, in which is pivoted a blade-holder 12 having rearwardly-projecting extensions 16, a rod 19 being rigidly mounted in the terminals of the extensions, and adapted to be engaged loosely by notches 21 in the arms 20 of an oscillatory frame pivoted on a rod 11 in the main frame. The extremities of the oscillatory frame are connected by shafts 9 embraced by sleeves 10, and the side portions of the main frame are connected by rods 4 embraced by sleeves 5; the strop 25 passes round the sleeves as shown in Fig. 3. Around the rod 17, forming the pivot of the blade - holder, is mounted a coiled spring 22 having rearwardly extending arms 23, 24, the terminals of which press against the rod 11, the arms being alternately swung outwards by the rod 19 of the blade-holder when the strop is moved to and fro; the tension of the spring serves to restore the blade-holder to a position equidistant between the sides of the strop.

Title: Improvements relating to Volume Indicators Particularly for use with Fluid Pressure Braking Apparatus.
Inventor: JACKSON WILLIAM EDWARD ELLIS
IPC: B60T17/22
Filed: 1912-08-27
Granted: 1913-08-21
Abstract: 19,588. Jackson, W. E. E. Aug. 27. Cubical contents, measuring. - The volume of a closed receptacle, such as the train-pipe of a fluid - pressure braking - apparatus, is measured by first bringing the pressure within the receptacle to a predetermined value and then allowing such pressure to equalize into a measuring-chamber, the rise or fall of pressure in which affords an indication of the volume of the receptacle. In the form shown, the usual pipe 2 leading from the driver's valve to the train-pipe is provided with a branch connexion 6, which leads to the measuring- chamber 4 and is fitted with cocks 8, 9 and an automatic release valve 7. To effect the measurement, the cock 3 is turned to close the main-reservoir pipe, and the driver's valve is placed in running position, after which the cock 9 is turned to allow pressure fluid to exhaust from or enter the train-pipe by the valve 7, which closes when a predetermined pressure is obtained in the train-pipe. The cock 8 is then turned so as to cut off the chamber 4 from the atmosphere and to connect it to the train-pipe, the volume of the trainpipe being indicated, when equalization of pressure has taken place, upon a gauge 5 which may be graduated in units of length of trainpipe. In a modification, the two cocks 8, 9 are replaced by a single cock arranged at the underside of the valve 7 and capable of occupying three positions to effect the operations described above.

Abstract: 21,670. Kimber, W. E. Sept. 24. Sharpening rock drills; power hammers.-In a pump-piston hammer for planishing or finishing the points of rock drills after sharpening, and for other purposes, the hammer cylinder 6 is mounted on the pump cylinder 1, and the ends of the latter cylinder can be opened to the atmosphere to stop the hammer 7. This is effected by a valve 13, Fig. 3, operated by a treadle or hand-lever, or the die 8, Fig. 1, is so arranged that, when not pressed in by the work, it is forced out by a spring 15 to uncover ports 4<Î>, 5<Î> leading to either end of the compressor.

Granted: 1914-04-06
Abstract: 8033. Haddan, R., [International Ionizing Process Co.]. April 5. Curing.-A gas useful for curing hides is obtained by subjecting air to an electric arc and immediately mixing the air with vapours from an organic substance, such as hickory, oak, or pine wood, which may be fed into the arc chamber 8 in the form of a slab 25. The vapours must be partly condensible at ordinary temperatures. Two similar tubular arc chambers 8 as thrown, or more than two, may be arranged so that gas is forced through them in series by means of a pump 2. The arcs may be stable, or each upper electrode 14 may be reciprocated vertically by means of a rocking beam 21, a link 20, and a clutch 19, which is disengaged by a stop at the lower limit of each stroke. A crank 4 operates the pump and rocking beam 21 synchronously. At each stroke of the upper electrode the wooden slab 25 is fed forwards bv rollers 27, the upper of which is spring urged, while the lower is turned by means of a ratchetwheel and a pawl on a rod 31 pivoted to the rocking beam 21. The amount of action of the pawl and hence the feed of the slab may be adjusted by means of a movable plate 33, through which the pawl rod 31 passes. A slide 36 operated through levers by the crank 4 and by a spring enters the arc chamber and pushes the wooden slab back to the required position after each feed. The arc cylinders may be of iron lined with asbestos.

Inventor: MUSSO GISEPPE
IPC: H04L25/49
Filed: 1914-08-01
Granted: 1915-10-01
Abstract: 18,243. Musso, G. Aug. 1. Transmitting systems.-In systems of the kind in which signalling-impulses, produced by the discharge of an inductance in a local circuit, are impressed upon a main line, means are provided for successively connecting and disconnecting the local circuit with the main line. The transmitting-key is connected to the leads 1, 2, 3. to actuate the relays m, m<1>. An impulse in the relay m first closes the contact 9. 10, thus completing the local circuit of the battery B and inductance i. When the contacts 8, 9 are closed the inductance is connected to line over the contacts 20, 21 and the opening of the contacts 13, 14 breaks the local current and causes the inductance to discharge into the line. The local circuit is, however, immediately closed again at the contacts 15, 16, and the opening of the contact 20, 21 disconnects the line. An impulse of opposite polarity, is sent when the relay m<1> is energized. In a modified form, the downward movement of the armature L causes first the connexion of the inductance i to the line, and then the closing of the local circuit. During the return movement of the armature, the local circuit is broken, and the inductance discharges to line, then the line is disconnected from the inductance, and connected direct to earth for an adjustable period.

The outer ends of the arms may be formed as or fitted with adjustable or fixed racks A<3>, B<3> gearing with a pinion E on the spindle of the pointer J. The parts A, B, C, D, C', D<1>, A<3>, B<3> may be cut out of one piece of metal, and an adjustable ball H may be fitted to the end of the part D. The pressure exerted by the spring parts D<1>, C<1> may be regulated by adjusting the position of the fixed part C by means of a conical-headed screw G<2>, or a separate spring K may be adjustably mounted between the arms A, B as shown. When applied to a Bourdon-tube gauge, the parts may be arranged so that the arms tend to open apart. The pinion E and pointer spindle may be supported entirely by its engagement between the racks, as shown in Fig. 2, in which case one or both racks are formed of double width and the pinion is provided with flanges E<2> to keep it in position. The connexion between the ends of the arms A, B and the pointer may be different from that described. According to the Provisional Specification, the upper rack may be pivoted to the arm and held in engagement with the pinion by a spring.
