Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Artificial Teeth.
Inventor: CHAUVIN LOUIS RICHARD
Filed: 1908-01-10
Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 651. Chauvin, L. R. Jan. 10. No Patent granted (Sealingfee not paid). Teeth, artificial.- Teeth are made of superposed layers of different compositions, the back layer a approximating in nature and physical properties to that of the metal back-plate in order that a firm connexion may be ensured, while the front layer e is such as to impart the appearance of a natural tooth, and the intermediate layers b, c, d progressively approach the outer one in nature and properties. The teeth are provided with the metal backing either by covering the bottom of the mould with metal m in the form of filings, powder, &c. before moulding the tooth, and afterwards baking, or by coating the back of the moulded tooth with a suitable solution, for example silver nitrate, or neutral platinic chloride and essential oil of camomile, reducing the salt by heat, and then baking the tooth, In either case, the required thickness of backing is obtained by subsequent treatment in a galvano-plastic bath.

Abstract: 11,947. Munro, E. M., and Railless Electric Traction Co. May 20. Supporting-arrangements for collectors; trolly heads.-The trolly heads of vehicles deriving their energy from two or more overhead conductors are mounted so as to rotate in an approximately horizontal plane upon a base ur bridge-piece supported so as to be kept substantially parallel to the road surface. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation of the head and the supporting- arrangement, and Figs. 5 and 6 a sectional view and plan respectively of the head portion. The frame K carrying the collecting-wheels is adapted to rotate on ball bearings in the casing H carried by the bridge-member C, which forms one side of a parallelogram, the arms B, B' and the base forming the other sides. By this arrangement, the head is kept substantially parallel to the road surface. The arms B, B<1> work under the influence of the springs S, and are free to rotate on a vertical pivot in the support A, which may be of the form described in Specification 764/09. The wheel harps L are mounted on springs L<3> to maintain good contact with the conductors, excessive movement being prevented by pins L<4> working in slots. The slots are made sufficiently wide to permit the wheels to turn to a limited extent so as to be able to follow curves in the conductors. When a pair of wheels are used for each conductor, they are connected together by a spring N, which keeps them normally in alinement and facilitates their passage round curves. The frame K is made in two parts which are insulated from each other at K<2>, one part being connected to one side of the motor system by the cable O<1>, and the other part to the opposite side through cables R, 0 and the partial ball- and-socket coupling P<2>. To obviate risk of entanglement with the overhead gear, the frame K is turned down at its edges, and rollers K<5> and ribs K<4> are provided. If there are three conductors, the third contacting - element is mounted at the centre of the frame K.
