Granted: 1905-08-10
Abstract: 7126. Laurick, C. April 4. Moving-stirrer apparatus; driving and actuating mechanism; discharging-appliances.-In machinery for mixing and kneading pastry and like substances, the stirring-arms reciprocate vertically and swing from side to side, and the troughs are tilted, for discharging, by means of segmental racks. The kneading-arms, such as c<1>; c<2>, are pivoted to a shaft b which is moved to and fro in the vertical guide a by the lever p. The arms c<1>, c<2> are swung by means of rods q<1> , q<2> connected to cranks h<1>, h<2>, and are preferably connected, alternately in pairs by means of sleeves; so that different. pairs swing in opposite directions. The slotted leyer p turns on the fixed pivot g, and is driven by the crank f, which is moving upwards when its pin is nearest to the pivot g, so that the shaft b has a quick downward motion and a slow return. The shaft t, carrying the cranks h<1>; h<2>; and the shaft s, carrying the crank f, are connected by toothed gearing such that the latter rotates twice as fast as the former. Counterweights j are used to balance the mixing- arms. The trough w can be raised on the pivot 2 by means of an attached rack-bar which is engaged by a pinion capable of sliding longitudinally on the winch bar 5. When raised, the trough is turned by hand to discharge its contents on the table v, and it, may be retained in the position shown in dotted lines by means of the stay 12.

Patent GB-190517094-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Stitching and Embroidering Machines.
Inventor: THOMPSON WILLIAM PHILLIPS
Filed: 1905-08-23
Granted: 1906-04-26
Abstract: 17,094. Thompson, W. P., [Gegauf, Geb.]. Aug. 23. Hem-stitching machines; feed; presser-feet.-Relates to hem-stitching machines in which the lateral direction of the movements of the presser-foot is controlled by the operator, and consists in means whereby the feed may be stopped when executing seams at right or acute angles; or suddenly stitching backward, so that additional stitches may be made with the object of forming as sharp corners and points as possible. The needles 1 and pricker 2, Figs. 1 and 2, are arranged in a tube 3 revolubly mounted on the head-plate of the machine. A crank 5 rotates the tube 3 through belt gearing 6, 7, 8 and also a shuttle carrier (not shown) arranged under the table. The driving-shaft 9, besides reciprocating the needles, drives a toothed camdisk 13 through bevel-gearing 11, shaft 10, and pinion 12. Two levers 15, 16, oscillated by the cam, actuate spring-pressed slide bars 17, 18. The presser-foot 4 is moved by these bars through intermediate members, consisting of a cone 19, slidably mounted on the sleeve 3, and reciprocated vertically by a ring attached to the slide bar 17. A sleeve 20, fitted with a lever 21, is fixed to the tube 3. The upper end of the lever bears on the cone ; the lower end engages with a ring 24, the reciprocations of the cone thereby causing the presser - loot to reciprocate laterally. As the tube 3 is rotated by the crank 5, the position of the lever 21 is varied and thereby also the direction of the I:Kera.l movements of the presser-foot. The presser-foot is suspended from a universal joint 25 and is vibrate'd vertically by the bar 16. A hand-lever 26 is provided with a hook 27 which may be brought into engagement with the slide bar 17 when the latter is in its lowest position, but normally is held out of engagement by a spring acting on the hook. When it is desired to alter the direction of the seam sharply, the lever 26 is pressed so as to bring the hook into engagement with the slot 28 of the slide bar 17, thereby arresting its movement. The presser-foot can then only receive vertical reciprocations. The needles are then shifted, but, instead of the material passing beneath the presser-foot during the turning, it remains in the same position, and a number .of additional stitches are formed; thereby filling up the usual re-entrant angle and making an approximately sharp corner.

Title: Improvements in Methods of and Means for Controlling Electric Currents
Inventor: WALTER LOUIS HEATHCOTE
Filed: 1907-03-15
Granted: 1908-02-20
Abstract: 6289. Walter, L. H. March 15. Resistances.- Electrolytic valve cells having an anode such as aluminium or magnesium and an electrolyte such as ammonium borate are instantly depolarized by touching the immersed anode with a conductor, such as a platinum wire or carbon pencil held in an insulated holder, or connected to the cathode wire. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the current in a circuit E is varied by moving the insulated contact-piece C up to the anode A by means of an electro-magnet D ; the cathode B may be of carbon, or aluminium, or other metal unacted on by the electrolyte. Actual contact between the contact-piece and the anode need not be made if the voltage applied is near the critical value for the electrolyte employed. Preliminary preparation of the anode is unnecessary if bright aluminium sheet is used, while, after use, a periodic wiping of the surface with clean tissue paper is preferable. The anode may be in two parts, contact being made with the part not directly connected with the source, and the apparatus, such as an induction coil, in which the current is to be varied being connected between the two anode parts, which form a condenser. The device may be used in connexion with a switch to prevent sparking or burning of contacts on opening a circuit ; the contact-piece may in this case be a plate of carbon or graphite of considerable size, having several projections on its face normally in contact with the anode, and is separated from it, thereby greatly reducing the current, before breaking the circuit. For rapid interruptions with small currents a wire A, Fig. 5, of tantalum or other suitable metal serving as the anode, is depolarized by dipping into mercury F<1> ; for larger currents a rotating anode with alternate sectors of aluminium A, Fig. 6, and insulation K is used with a brush contact C, a brush H bearing on the aluminium shaft, completing the circuit. For heavy currents, a small moving contact-piece or the brush-contact C, Fig. 6, is connected to a large plate F, Fig. 6, preferably of the same material dipping in the electrolyte ; the piece C may be graphite or aluminium, and the plate F may be graphite or carbon.
