Title: Improvements relating to Grinding Mechanism for Leather Working Machines.
Inventor: PACKARD FRED CURTIS
Filed: 1907-01-16
Granted: 1907-05-30
Abstract: 1168. Lake, H. H., [Packard, F. C.]. Jan. 16. Sharpening. - Relates to the grinding-apparatus used in leather-working machines, for example in a shaving - machine, to sharpen the blades F, Fig. 2, which are usually arranged in a right and left hand manner upon a cylinder, in order to stretch the skin while operating upon it. The grinding-wheel 10 is driven by a belt 19 and gearing 14 from a cylinder consisting of two parts 25, 26, which are caused to rotate in opposite directions, so that the rotation of the wheel 10 is reversed when it reaches the part of the tool E where the blades F reverse, thus ensuring uniform grinding. The part 25, Fig. 3, of the driving-cylinder is secured to the shaft 27, which is driven by means of the sprocket-wheel 29, and the shaft 31 is fixed at one end in the frame A, and is carried at the opposite end in a bearing 32. The part 26 of the cylinder is free to rotate upon the shaft 31, and is driven from the part 25, in the reverse direction, by means of gearing 30, 36, 35, the wheels 30, 36 being formed on . end pieces 34, 39 of the parts 26, 25, respectively ; the intermediate wheel is carried by a stud 37 fixed to the shaft 31. To prevent bending of the right and left handed feed-screw 17, under the pressure of the fork 16, it is supported at intervals by bushings' 24, Figs. 2 and 5, against which the screw bears.

Perambulators, children's mail-carts, and like vehicles.-Relates to folding perambulators, mailcarts, and similar carriages or vehicles, in which the sides are connected by hinged end pieces and held in their open position by a bottom piece which maybe hinged to one side. The sides 1, 2 are attached to frames 3, 4 carrying wheel springs 5, 6. Short axles 8 are mounted on the springs, and have feet shaped to receive the ends of jointed stays 9 capable of opening outwards. The sides are connected by end pieces 11 hinged together in the centre so as to open inwards and kept in their extended position by a bottom piece 12, which is hinged to the side 1, and adapted to fold down over the frame 4. Flaps 14, 15 are hinged to an opening in the piece 12 and fold down to form a well, the bottom 17 of which is hinged to the frame 4. The handles are fitted with metal caps 18, 19, Fig. 4, to the former of which a cross-bar 20 is hinged. The other end of the bar 20 is shaped to enter a slot in the cap 19, where it is retained by a spring-pin 21. The frame 3 has a spring plate 22 to hold the cross-bar when the perambulator is folded. In a modification, the pieces 12, 17 may be loose and provided with bolts, spring catches, &c. for holding them in position. The end pieces 11 may also open outwards, in which case they have one or more locking- bars. A cushion mounted on a piece of wood for covering the opening in the bottom 12 is provided to form with the end cushions a bed on the bottom of the vehicle, and is preferably of such a size that it can be placed in the bottom of the well to hold the flaps 14, 15 in position.

Title: Improvements in & relating to Attachments to Cycles & Motors & other Road Vehicles to Facilitate the Piloting or Steering thereof from Place to Place
Inventor: WARD THOMAS HENRY
Filed: 1907-09-16
Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 20,544. Ward, T. H. Sept. 16. Bearings and courses, determining ; compasses, magnetic.-Fig. 1 shows in section magnetic-compass apparatus attached to the frame of a bicycle for the purpose of enabling the cyclist at any time by inspection of the compass card to determine approximately the general magnetic bearing of the roads just passed over, that is the magnetic bearing of an imaginary straight line drawn from the starting point to the point where the observation is made. This is effected by judging the centre of density of markings made periodically by the dropping of potassium permanganate or like drop by drop on to the edge of a compass card C from a reservoir B. The bearing thus determined can be compared with that of the straight line between the starting and destination points for the purpose of determining the route.

Title: An Improved Apparatus for Delivering Measured Quantities of Liquids.
Inventor: BOWLEY JOSEPH WILFRED
Filed: 1907-11-15
Granted: 1908-11-05
Abstract: 25,334. Bowley, J. W. Nov. 15. Measured quantities, delivering.-Relates to apparatus in which the liquid is delivered from a subsidiary tank through a measuring-vessel arranged in the tank. The measuring-vessel is non-tipping, and has its delivery outlet positively controlled. The liquid in the subsidiary tank A is maintained at a constant level by means of a float valve or the like. In the form of apparatus shown, the measuring-vessel C is filled when lowered and emptied when raised. The raising or lowering occurs concurrently with the respective opening or closing of the delivery conduit. In the raised position, the outlet ball valve d may be pushed aside by a fixed projection e', allowing the liquid to escape by the tube c'. In a modification, the valve d is operated by the projection e<1> through a bell-crank lever. The measuring-vessel C may be raised and lowered by means of a forked lever f connected by coupling- arms h to a band which grips the tube c'. The tube c' may slide telescopically in a fixed portion g<1> of the bracket supporting the lever f. A plate k, loosely mounted on the stem of the projection e<1>, rests upon the surface of the liquid in the measuring-vessel when the latter is raised, in order to remove superfluous liquid. Two or more measuriog-vessels of different capacities may be arranged within the common receptacle. According to the Provisional Specification, the measuring-vessel may communicate with a delivery cock by a telescopic fluid-tight joint. The cock plug is extended and provided with a cam by which the measuring-vessel is vertically displaced through a downwardly-extending projection thereon. The measuring-vessel may close the inlet cock to the subsidiary tank when the measuring-vessel is being discharged.

Abstract: 4541. Walters Electrical Manufacturing Co., and Moore, E. E. Feb. 23. T r a c k apparat u s a c t u a t i n g signals other than on trains.-In apparatus for giving warning of an approaching train at a level crossing or the like, the s p e c i a l relay shown in Fig. 1 is used. The magnetization of a pivoted armature A<5> is maintained of a certain polarity by a permanent magnet A‹. The free end of the armature swings between the poles of an electro-magnet. The core of the magnet is of soft iron and the pole-pieces A<3>, A<4> only are of steel. The coil A<1> is excited when an aproaching train mechanically closes the circuit of the coil. The armature A<5> is then attracted to the pole-pieces A<3>, and an alarm circuit is closed at B<1>. This remains closed until the train arrives at another treadle and closes the circuit of the coil A<2>, by which the magnetization of the core and the pole-pieces is reversed.
