Title: Improvements in Adding Machines.
Inventor: BORDT ADOLF
IPC: G06C7/06
Filed: 1910-09-16
Granted: 1911-07-20
Abstract: 21,602. Bordt, A. Sept. 16, 1909, [Convention date]. [Addition to 5214/09.] Type-wheel machines; alining for impression; i n kribbon mechanism. -Relates to improvements in the adding - machine described in the parent Specification. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises the following subjectmatter:-(1) The lever that actuates the printing - mechanism is secured in position on the manipulating-lever by means of a screw with a milled head. (2) The exact alinement of the type-wheels is ensured a moment before printing, by the insertion of a rake 366, Fig. 7, into the teeth of the wheels. The rake is carried by a frame 367 and is moved into engagement by means of a pin engaging a slot in the arm 193 that carries the type-wheels. (3) An ink-ribbon is mounted on spools in a pivoted frame adapted to descend when nearing the end of the rearward stroke of the lever to bring the ink-ribbon under the type-wheels. This is effected by the engagement of the nose of an arm 328, Figs. 5 and 6, on the framework with a cam 331 on the manipulating-lever. During the forward stroke, the cam raises the framework and causes the ink-ribbon to advance by means of another cam oscillating a pawlcarrying arm 341, which pawl actuates a ratchetwheel on a longitudinally-movable spindle 336 provided with bevel-wheels adapted to engage bevel-wheels on the spool spindle. To reverse the ink-ribbon automatically, an arm 350 mounted on a spindle 349 has a roller at its free end engaging the hubs of the bevel-wheels on the spindle 336, and the spindle 349 is provided at its front end with a blade spring which is put under tension as the diameter of the spool increases, and finally throws over the arm and the bevel-wheels to connect up the other spool. In the position shown in Fig. 5, before the arm 350 can be rocked by the spring a latch 354<1> must be disengaged. This is effected by a pin 359 on a double-armed lever 361, which engages the ribbon and as it is wound up depresses one end of the lever, so that a pin 3G5 on the other end thereof raises the latch 354<1> to release the lever 350. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improved Process for the Manufacture of Oil Varnish Substitutes from Animal Oils.
Inventor: KAEMPFE WALTER
Filed: 1912-06-27
Granted: 1913-03-20
Abstract: 15,012. Kaempfe, W. June 27. Fatty oils, purifying &c.-A substitute for linseed-oil varnish, lynoxyn, &c. is obtained from animal oils, such as fish or train oil, by heating the oil for some time to 235-240‹ C. and treating with steam at 375-400‹ C. for 25-30 hours, the temperature of the oil during treatment being kept below 260‹ C. Fatty acids and glycerine distil off, and the glycerides of the unsaturated acids polymerize. The treatment may be carried out in vacuo, in which case the temperature of the oil during treatment is maintained at 270-285‹ C. To prevent gelatinization of the oil, small proportions of fatty acids or their esters, preferably unsaturated acids such as linoleic acid, or of resin are added when the proportion of saturated fatty acid in the oil has become small. The treatment with steam may be interrupted when the formation of oil varnish begins, and the oil may be mixed with fatty acids or esters and heated to 315‹ C. to complete the treatment.

Granted: 1913-05-15
Abstract: 22,821. Besharov, N. S. G. Oct. 7. Locks, permutation.-A disk permutation lock is arranged so that the bolt can be shot with the disks in any position, but can be withdrawn only when the disks are in the same position as when it was shot. Each disk is in the form of a wheel with a rim 33 and a hub 39 having a series of recesses 49 normally closed by spring-controlled gates 54. The bolt 25 has attached to it a plate 41, which is spaced therefrom and passes between the rim and the hub of each of the disks, and has a projecting lug 43 adapted to pass through the recesses 49 of the disk hubs. The lug 43 is bevelled in such a manner that, on an outward movement of the bolt, it depresses the gates 54 in those recesses 49 of the disks that are opposite the lug, and thus allows the bolt to be fully shot whatever the positions of the disks. After the passage of the lug, the gates 54 are held down by catches 58, so that after dispersal of the disks, it is necessary to aline the open recesses thus formed before the bolt can be withdrawn. When the disks are set and the bolt is withdrawn, the lug 43 disengages the catches 58 from the gates 54 and these return to their normal positions, closing the recesses. Pins 62 on the bolt-plate 41 co-operate with the disks to prevent the withdrawal of the bolt by setting the disks one at a time. Sliding bolts.-The bolt 25 is operated by two toothed wheels 22 engaging racks 24 on the bolt and mounted on a spindle 19, one on each side of a bar 17 on which the spindle is journaled. Springs retain the bolt in engagement with the toothed wheels.

Abstract: 29,199. Weir, G. & J., and Peterm÷ller, J. Dec. 19. Combined fluid - actuated and mechanical valve-gears; beat or lift valves; expansion valves. - Double-beat admission and exhaust valves a, b, which are nearly balanced, are arranged on a common spindle e and control the top of the cylinder through a port w. Similar valves c, d are arranged on a second spindle f, and control the bottom of the cylinder through port x. The seats g are slightly larger than the seats h. The spindles e, f are provided with extensions k, n, p, q which work in cylinders m, o, r, s. The cylinder m is in constant communication with the inlet passage u, the cylinder s is in constant communication with the outlet passage v, and the cylinders r, o communicate through pipes y, z with a chamber 5 which is alternately put into communication with the steam and exhaust by means of a pilot valve 4. When one valve on one of the spindles e, f is opened the other is closed, and vice versa. The differential pressure on each steam valve tends to open it and close the exhaust. When the pressures in the opposite cylinders are equal, the steam-valves are opened, and when the greater pressure exists in the top cylinders, the steam-valves are closed. The valve 4 is provided with a single-beat valve 6 controlling the admission of steam to the chamber 5, and a double-beat valve 7 with unequal seats controlling the exhaust connexion. Piston extensions 11, 13, 14 are provided in the valves 6, 7 to necessitate a small movement before the valves are fully opened or closed. The valve 4 is moved during the first part of its stroke mechanically and during the second part by fluid pressure, and is held in either of its two end positions by fluid pressure. The chambers r, o, upon the reciprocation of the valve 4, are alternately put into communication with the steam and exhaust, and cause the spindles e, f to reciprocate simultaneously in opposite directions. In a modification, an expansion valve which controls the supply of steam to the passage u is secured to the pilot valve spindle, upon which are collars which actuate the pilot valve with lost motion. The valves a, b, c, d are reversed in position and also the steam and exhaust chambers and ports.
