Granted: 1906-06-21
Abstract: 4407. Griffiths, T., and Forsberg, W. H. R. Feb. 22. Rock drills.-In a machine for sharpening and swaging rock drills, the drills are first subjected to a number of slight blows by rotating hammers l, mounted in a wheel k, the blows being struck at an acute angle to the short bevel so as to displace the metal to obliterate the rounded corners. The drill is then operated by the toggle-operated swageblocks 5,6, Fig. 3. The hammer wheel is mounted on a shaft h driven off the main shaft b of the machine, and consists of two disks. The hammers l are mounted on pins m and are controlled by springs n mounted on radial pins o, the tension being adjusted by nuts p. Lips s on the hammers engage with the edges of the disks and limit the outward movement of the hammers, short flat springs t being provided to avoid concussion. The drill may be held in a pivoted holder v by a cam lever z, its position with regard to the hammer being determined by a spring chain 4. A shield 2 is placed in front of the holder, and a gauge 3 fixes the drill relatively to the latter. One of the swaging-tools, which are driven by toggle-links 10, 11 and an eccentric from the countershaft g, flattens the tool, and the other swages the edge. The tool if much worn may be again subjected to the action of the hammer wheel until a sharp edge is obtained.

Abstract: 9264. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. April 19. Dyes, artificial.-Azo dyes, which yield various shades of green, blue, and black when chromed after dyeing upon wool, are obtained by combining in the usual manner the diazo compound of 5-nitro- 4-chlor-2-aminophenol with sulphonic acids of naphthols, dioxynaphthalenes. and aminonaphthols or derivatives thereof. The following components are mentioned, namely :-(1) Naphtholsulphonic acids 1 : 4, 1: 5, 1 :3:6, 2: 6, 2: 7, 2 : 3 : 6 ; (2) aminonaphtholsulphonic acids 1:8:4, 1 :8:3:6, 2:8:6, 2 :5 :7, and 2-phenylamino-5-naphthol-7- sulphonic acid ; and (3) dioxynapbtbalene sulphonic acids 1 :8:4, 1:6:3, and 1:8:3:6. The dyestuffs are stated to be new, with the exception of that from chromotropic acid. 5 -Nitro - 4-chlor-2-aminophenol is obtained by nitrating ethenyl - 4 - chlor - 2 - aminophenol, and boiling the resulting nitroethenyl compound having a melting-point of 148-149‹ C., with dilute mineral acids. It forms yellow needles soluble in alcohol, and on being heated above 200‹ C., the needles grow darker, melting at about 225‹ C. with evolution of gas. If 4-chlor-2-aminophenol is nitrated, the 5-nitro body is obtained mixed with the isomeric 6-nitro derivative.

Abstract: 23,623. Justice, P. M., [Pike Adding Machine Co.]. Oct. 25. Calculating -apparatus; counting- apparatus. - Relates to an apparatus for counting the number of items registered by adding or like calculating- machines of the class in which idle movement of the operating-handle is possible. The counter is actuated by the keys or some part involving registration of an item, and is adapted to ring a bell when a predetermined number of items has been registered. The apparatus is described and shown as being operated by one of the spring-actuated type-hammers 501, Fig. 2, of the calculating- machine described in Specification No. 3259, A.D. 1903. To the sleeve 7 are fixed the index hand 2 and the spring friction-plate 8, the latter of which bears upon the toothed wheel 9, so that normally the index hand and toothed wheel revolve together. A pin 13, Figs. 2 and 6, on the typehammer 501 is, upon the actuation of the latter, adapted to engage with a projection on the spring- controlled lever 11 loosely pivoted on the sleeve 7. The lever is depressed, and the spring-controlled pawl 14 pivoted at 15 to the lever thereupon feeds the wheel 9 one tooth forwards. When the index hand completes a revolution, a stud 3 thereon trips the lever 4 of the bell hammer 5. During the rotation of the wheel 9 a central spiral spring, one end of which is attached to the sleeve 7 while a catch on the other end is engaged by one of several internal projections on the casing for the spring, is wound up, overwinding being prevented by the escape of the catch and its engagement with the next projection in order. To zeroize, the key 22 of the spring-controlled releasing-lever 20 pivoted at 21 is depressed, projections thereon engaging with the studs 18 on the spring-controlled pawl 14 and detent 19 and pushing the latter aside ; whereupon the central spring restores the toothed wheel to its zero position ; overthrow is prevented by the pin 28 coming against the spring-controlled pivoted lever 29 provided with a stop 30. In order to announce the completion of a less number of items than one hundred, the key-lever 32 is depressed, after zeroizing the indicator, and holds the toothed wheel 9 fast while the index hand is turned in the clockwise direction to the indication (say) 30, 70 on the right of the dial. The bell will then be rung after seventy items have been registered, when the indicator may be zeroized as before.
