Granted: 1907-09-26
Abstract: 458. Broughton, E. Jan. 7. Cuttiny-out and measuring for.-In constructing patterns for garments by means of standard pattern garments, which are put on the person and any deviations from a true fit noted, these deviations are noted on a chart, the provision of which constitutes the essence of the invention. Rough garments, shaped as in Fig. 1, with the sleeveless shoulder unsewn, and cut from standard patterns, but with the inlays left on, are placed on a person to be measured for a coat, vest, or jacket. The meeting edges of the front and shoulder are then overlapped to the extent necessary for a good fit, and pinned. Chalk lines are drawn on the garment along the pins, and following the lines for the break &c. The extent to which the person's real measurements, as ascertained by the lines, deviate from the standard, is measured and marked on a chart having facsimiles of the standards from which the skeleton garment has been made up. These data furnish the material for the construction on the cloth of an amended pattern, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 3, in which the full lines are obtained by chalking round the original standard patterns, and the dotted lines are afterwards obtained from the deviations noted on the chart.

Title: Improvements relating to Caps or Closed Ended Metallic Tubes and to the Method of and Apparatus for Making the same.
Inventor: HOOKER LESLIE EDWIN
IPC: B21D51/54
Filed: 1909-01-12
Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 793. Hooker, L. E. Jan. 12. Squirting.-Tubes closed at one end, suitable for use as cartridge cases and the like, are made by squirting from a cup-shaped blank which has been obtained from a metal disk by turning-up the edges, so that the grain of the metal runs parallel to, instead of across, the walls. The blank is placed in a die 8, Fig. 4, and is acted on by a mandrel 10 which presses on the upper edge of the blank, while the inner mandrel 11 is in contact, at the beginning of the process, with the bottom of the cup, the position of the mandrel 11 being adjustable for this purpose. Under pressure, the blank assumes the shape shown on the right-hand side of Fig. 4, and is then ejected by a trimming-punch 16 which cuts off the flange and pushes the tube downwards out of the die, the flange being stripped at the next stroke by fingers 20. In operation, the punch holder is moved from one side to the other between every two strokes, so that one tube is squirted and another ejected at each stroke. In using hard metals, the blank is annealed both before and after cupping. Figs. 7 and 8 show slightly varying forms of mandrel. Cartridge cases made in this manner are stated to be of greater strength owing to the direction of the grain.

Title: Improvements in Time-limit Devices for use in connection with Electro-magnetic Circuit Breakers.
IPC: H01H71/44
Filed: 1909-03-26
Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 7276. Electric and Ordnance Accessories Co., and Collins, N. March 26. Automatic circuit-breakers; retarding-devices.-A time-limit or retarding-device for electro-magnetic circuit - breakers comprises an element with a toothed portion connected with the operating part of the circuit-breaker and gearing with an escapement mechanism, which only allows the toothed element to move slowly until the toothed portion, the length of which can be adjusted to adjust the time-limit, leaves the escapement mechanism, whereupon a free movement of the circuit-breaker mechanism is allowed. The rod 5, which is drawn upwards by the core of a solenoid, is pivoted to a toothed quadrant. When an overload occurs, a vertical pull is exerted upon the rod, and the quadrant turns slowly until its toothed portion passes out of gear with the pinion 11, whereupon the core is allowed free play to uperate the circuitbreaker. The length of the time-interval may be varied by adjusting the initial position at which the pinion engages the teeth of the quadrant. For this purpose, a cam 26 with several cam-faces is mounted so as to rotate with a shaft 22, which is provided with an indicating-arm outside the switch casing. The cam engages the stud 27 upon the quadrant and serves to limit its position of rest. According to the position of the cam, more or less of the toothed segment has to be passed over step by step before the switch mechanism is allowed free operation. A collar with notches corresponding to the various positions of the cam is mounted upon the shaft 22 and engaged by a spring to hold the cam in one or other of the set positions. To admit of the quadrant engaging the pinion on the arm 5 falling to its normal position, the rear end of the pinion spindle works in an oblique slot 21, Fig. 2, in the casing. When the quadrant returns, the teeth strike against the pinion and lift it, allowing the toothed portion of the quadrant to wipe under the pinion until arrested by the cam engaging with the stop 27. Instead of the quadrant, a vertical or other rack, the height of which may be regulated by a cam, may be employed, and a position of the pointer 23 may be provided in which the escapement mechanism is entirely disconnected from the quadrant.
