Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 26,373. Wainwright, J. G. Nov. 13. Sash fasteners, pivoted-arm type.-A pair of spring-controlled levers e, f, pivoted to the upper sash a, are connected at their free ends so as to move out together over the lower sash b, hooks g on the levers engaging eyes h on the lower sash.

Patent GB-190929323-A (GB)
Title: Photographic Apparatus Fitted with Means for Exposing, Developing and Fixing Films.
Inventor: ELLIS CALVIN JOHN
IPC: G03B17/50
Filed: 1909-12-15
Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 29,323. Ellis, C. J. Dec. 15, 1908, [Convention date]. Cameras fitted with dark-rooms, and with provision for developing etc.; enlarging, copying, and reducing.-Relates to apparatus for exposing, developing, and fixing photographic films fitted with manually-operated mechanism by which sections of the film are intermittently drawn from a spool into position for exposure, thence passed into a developing-bath, thence to a fixing-bath, and the section then severed. The severed section is removed by hand from the fixing- bath for final washing and drying. The apparatus is fitted for copying, and comprises a camera with bellows 2, Fig. 1, on the exposure chamber 1, lens board 5, and copy holder frame 10, which can be adjusted by focusing-rack 14. The scales 6, 14 provide for making different enlargements and reductions. The spool chamber 7, Fig. 2, is fitted above the exposure chamber 1, and the developing and fixing baths in the chamber 8 below the chamber 1. The spool chamber 7 is hinged to the chamber 1, and is fitted with a hinged partition 21. The spool is supported by means of a small shaft 17 the front end of which extends through the case and is covered by a pivoted plate on the outside of the casing, which may be pushed aside and the shaft withdrawn to release the spool. An elastic band 19 is used as a brake to control the movement of the spool and the tension is adjusted by engaging the band with different hooks 20. The film is fed by rollers 24 which are turned by the handle 27, Fig. 1, one turn of the handle 27 being sufficient to draw a complete section into position for exposure. The exposure is made in a vertical plane at the side of the apparatus, the image being projected on the film by the reflector 23, which corrects the image in respect of the lateral inversion. The developing - tank 40 is divided into two chambers, the narrow-necked developing-bath 42, and the larger fixing-bath 41, and stands on the sliding shelf 35. After exposure the section is fed into the developing tank 42. The tank is then moved to the left, and the film is drawn over the edge of the bath and falls film side upwards in the fixing-bath. To sever the section, a knife 29 slides in guides 31 and is moved by the arm 34 and forced into a kerf in the bar 28. To immerse the print, a frame 46 is attached to the end of a stem 45 mounted in the plate 44 on the hinged panel 43. The frame is pressed down by a handle 47, and is raised by a spring 48. A drip pan or water bath 50 is provided for the drippings from the frame 46 when the developing-tank is moved to the left. The fixed films may be transferred to the bath 50 by hand through the hinged panel 43, and the bath 50 is removed through the panel 51.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Paper Carriages for Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: HAZEN MARSHMAN WILLIAMS
IPC: B41J3/37
Filed: 1909-09-14
Granted: 1910-12-14
Abstract: 1908. Hazen, M. W. Sept. 14, 1909. Line-spacing mechanism ; paper-carriages ; alining for impression; printing-point indicators.-Relates more particularly to the folding typewriter described in Specification 21,006/09. (1) The line-spacing pawl 23, Fig. 4, is pivoted at 24 to the line-spacing lever 20, which is journaled on the platen spindle 21, and is held against a stop 22<a> by a curved spring. The pawl is normally clear of the ratchetwheel 27, being held by a spring 25 against the stop 22<a>, but, when the lever 20 is swung, the pawl is first turned by the spring 25 into engagement with the ratchet-wheel, and then turns the platen. The spacing-movement is arrested by a pin 28 on the pawl being jammed between an adjustable stop 29 and a recess 34 in the lever 20. The stop 29 is pivoted at 30 and is provided with a setting-knob and is held in either of its positions by a flat spring 32. The ratchet-wheel is provided with a detent consisting of a pin 37 on a lever 35, which is pressed upwards by a spring, and is provided with a release-lever 40 having notches 42, 43 adapted to engage a pin 39. (2) To compensate for the decreasing tension of the carriage-driving spring, the carriage is mounted to move with more friction at the beginning of the travel than at the end. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the front rail 57 is mounted at one end on buttons 58 and at the other on rollers 60. (3) The aliner is formed with V-projections 49, Figs. 5 and 7, arranged at the printing-line and adapted to engage the heads of the type-levers, the aliner being secured by legs 46 to the shiftable carriage-bed, so that in all the shift positions, the aliner engages the type-head near to the type which is being used. (4) The printing- point indicator 51, Fig. 7, is secured behind the aliner and is formed with a pointer 52 and with a shoulder 53 which registers with the lower edges of the characters. The parts 51, 53 are respectively used for setting as regards the line-spacing and the letter-spacing movements.

Granted: 1911-08-24
Abstract: 284. Fetherston, J. T. Feb. 2, 1910, [Convention date]. Charging. - Refuse - destructor and other furnaces are charged by means of a pan mounted in a frame and adapted to be advanced into and retracted from the furnace by a ram, the material being delivered into the furnace during withdrawal of the pan by a scraper which forms the rear end of the pan during its forward movement. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the pan is formed by the forward ends of side frames 6, which are connected by a plate 7 to form the pan. A movable wall or scraper 8, normally resting against two stops 9 in the side frames 6 forms the back of the pan. The frames 6 are supported on and held between rollers 12, 13 respectively mounted on supports 11. The charging frame is advanced by a ram 14, the plunger of which is secured to a cross plate 16 secured to the side frames 6. The cross-plate 16 allows the passage through it of rods 17 connected to the scraper 8 and to counterweights 18 by ropes 19 passing over pulleys 20. During the charging operation, the plate 16 engages with stops 22 on the rods 17, and causes the scraper to move forwards with the pan and charging frame until it reaches the dotted position shown in Fig. 2. Upon withdrawal of the pan, pivoted catches 23 secured to the stops 22 engage with pivoted stops 26 mounted on a transverse member 25 and the scraper is held in its advanced position. Subsequently, cam surfaces 28 on the side members 6 disengage the stops 26, and the scraper is returned to its normal position by the weights 18.

Abstract: 7884. Lutz, J. B. March 29. Spring locks; master-key mechanism; latches, preventing operation of.-A latch-bolt 3 is operable by an ordinary key or by a master-key, both of which are adapted to be inserted into bosses of disks 8, 9 rotatably mounted in the sides of the casing and secured together by studs 10, 11. The ordinary key is adapted to turn the disks and cause the stud 11 to actuate a lever 5 and thereby operate the bolt. The bit of the master-key is cut so that it works between the disks and acts directly on a lever 6, first setting the tumblers 18 and shooting the lever forward to the position shown dotted, and then on a second turn pivoting the lever about the pin 17 to withdraw the bolt. Knobs are provided on a spindle 26 having a follower 25 to enable the bolt to be withdrawn by hand when the lever 6 has been shot upwards, the follower then actuating the lever 6 through an intermediary lever 24. When the lever 6 is in the position shown, the knobs are inoperative. From inside the door, operation by the ordinary key from outside can be prevented by inserting into the keyhole a device similar to that in use for closing keyholes, the bit of this device entering slots in the boss 13 of the disk 9 and in a surrounding shield so as to prevent the operation of the disks. The boss of the disk 9 contains a spring which tends to push the key out of the keyhole.
