Granted: 1909-01-28
Abstract: 12,170. Headley, F. H., Walton, W. H., and Pinching, E. Lawley-. June 4. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Switches. - A fly switch, having mechanism in which the contact-arm moves parallel to the base, and in which the operating-handle loosely engages the mechanism without being connected thereto, is mounted in a cover secured to the base by means of springs. On the spindle is mounted a contact-arm f, preferably laminated and formed by bending a single sheet of metal on itself and filing the ends. Above this arm is a disk k having an upwardly-extending lug n, which is connected to a lug on the casing by a spring o, and a downwardly-extending lug m, which engages the arm f. The loose handle carries a disk s cut away as shown in Fig. 3. When the handle is rotated, one end of the cut disk s engages the lug n and stretches the spring until it passes the deadcentre, whereupon it releases suddenly, forcing the disk k round and closing the switch ; farther turning of the handle causes the bar f to be positively forced against the stops e carried by the plate contacts c, d. The cover q is secured to the base by bent leaf springs t, which engage recesses v in the rim. Springs of other shape, for example in the form of a glove button, engaging conical holes in the base, may be used. The cover may be in the form of a flat plate resting on the side of the china base.

Granted: 1909-01-28
Abstract: 15,280. Montag, G., Oelenheinz, T., and Pfeiffenberger, O. July 18. Tobacco in the green condition is treated under moderate heat with the juice expressed from green tobacco leaves in a cold condition. If desired the juice may be allowed to ferment in closed vessels before treating the leaves, in which case a sediment is deposited and the liquor decanted, or the fermentation may proceed while the leaves are being treated. If it is desired to improve the quality of a tobacco, the juice of the stalks, side shoots, or green leaves of a superior tobacco is poured over it in an earthenware stove which is moderately heated. The juice of green tobacco leaves may be employed for ripening the unripe leaves of the same kind of tobacco.

Title: An Improved Electric Clock.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER FERDINAND
IPC: G04C1/06
Filed: 1909-04-05
Granted: 1910-04-05
Abstract: 8123. Schneider, F. April 5. Striking - mechanism; winding - apparatus, electric.-Relates to a clock of the kind in which an electro motor effects the striking and simultaneously winds the mainspring, the circuit being closed when the rack of the striking- mechanism is released. The switch consists of spring blades 36, 37, Fig. 1, the blade 36 being fixed to a pivoted three-armed lever 34 having a downwardly-projecting spring 39. Normally the switch is kept open by the pressure on this spring of a pin 26 on the rack 24. When one of two pins 60, 64 on a wheel 59 turning once an hour engages a piece 41 pivoted on a lever 42, this is thereby raised, lifting the rack-hook 33 and allowing the rack to move under the influence of a spring 25. The pin 26 is thus shifted from the tail-spring 39, and the blades 36, 37 are therefore pressed into contact by a spring 38 as soon as the pin on the wheel 59 clears the lever 41. The motor 2 then runs, driving the train 5, 7, 30, 10, 11. The wheel 10 bears pins which actuate the hammer; the wheel 11 winds the mainspring 16 through a friction-coupling; and the arbor of the wheel 30 carries the gathering-pallet 32<a>, which, as it rotates, restores the rack to its original position, the circuit being broken when the pin 26 again presses against the spring 39. Fig. 3 shows a part of the electromotor in detail. The spindle 57 is covered by an insulating-sleeve 56, on which the parts of the commutator 54 are held by an insulating-ring 55. A silver ring 51, adapted to make contact with the brushes 49, 50, is forced over the commutator, soldered in position, and then divided.

Abstract: 18,872. Law, F. Feb. 17, 1910. Openers.-In machines for making enginecleaning waste, the feedrollers are driven from the doffer shaft. In the arrangement shown, the doffer shaft 2 is connected to the feed-rollers by means of a chain 4 which passes over sprockets 19, 3 and guide - rollers 18, the sprocket 19 being formed with a cog-wheel 21 which engages a cogwheel 22 on the bottom feed-roller 7. The sprocket 19 is journaled on a stud 20 and may be moved laterally for the purpose of starting or stopping the feed; or sliding dog clutches may be provided. In another arrangement, the top feed-roller 6 is driven directly from the sprocket 3. The shaft of the top feed-roller is mounted in open bearings and retained by spring straps. The cylinder clearer roller is provided with a sprocket 15, which is driven by a chain from a sprocket 16 on the shaft of the bottom calender roller 17.

Abstract: 23,572. Brun, A. Oct. 11. Boat-launching apparatus.-The boat is carried by a rotatable cradle mounted on the deck and provided with a longitudinally - moving spring ejecting-device. A turntable 27 mounted on a standard 23 carries beams 32, which with rails 34 supported by braces 33 constitute a cradle for the boat 16. The forward part of the cradle is hinged to the main part at 38 and is counterbalanced by a weight 41 provided with sector gear 42 operated from a hand-lever 44. The ejecting-device comprises a casing 48 mounted on rollers on the beams 32 and connected up by cables 61 to spring-controlled plungers, which work in cylinders 63 secured to the beams 32. The cables are wound round winches working inside the casing 48, and the tension put on the springs is adjusted by winding-up the winches from a common intermediate shaft controlled by a pawl and ratchet. The ejecting-device is normally locked by a detent 79, Fig. 8, taking behind a fixed stop 80 on the beam 32. The detent is secured to a shaft 78 which is mounted in a web 67 integral with the casing 48. A handle 70 also secured to the shaft 78 carries a locking-dog 74 engaging with notches 68, 69 on the web 67. On pulling a cord 76 leading to the boat, the dog 74 is released, setting free the handle 70 and detent 79. The contraction of the springs in the cylinders moves the casing 48 and the boat longitudinally of the cradle, and the weight of the boat inclines the forward part to direct it to the water. The casing 48 is arrested by buffers 81. The rudder 18 and propeller 19 of the boat are protected from the ejecting- device by recessing the stern and extending up the keel 21. The boat is covered in by a deck 16 provided with slide doors 17 and portholes 83.
