Title: Improved Clip for Papers, Books and the like
Inventor: HONIG ARTHUR
Filed: 1904-07-05
Granted: 1904-09-15
Abstract: 15,027. Honig, A. July 5. Filing papers &c.-A clipping-appliance for papers, hooks, and the like, comprises two concentric cylindrical pieces or shells 4, 5, which are caused to slide or rotate one within the other by means of a spring or springs. The inner shell 5 has inclined slots j, n, o, k, and the outer shell 4 has slots l, m and a central opening through which two rings e, f on the slides 6, 7 project, after passing through the stops n, o. The upturned ends of the slides 6, 7 are passed through the slots j, l and k, m respectively, after spring-holders 9 carrying a spring 10 have been applied. Washers are then placed on the upturned ends of the slides and held in position by flattening the said ends. The spring 10 pulls the upturned slide ends towards the centre and thereby clamps the papers &c. between the clipping-edges of the shells 4, 5, and a second similar spring may be applied on the other side of the slides if desired. By pressing the ends e, f together, the spring is distended and the papers are released. The clip may be suspended by means of an aperture in the upturned part p, and, if it is desirable that one part should not turn, the slots in that part are made parallel to the axis of the shells. The slots may also be curved to give varying clipping power.

Title: Improvements in Instruments for Making Calculations in regard to Electric Conductors and other Problems
Inventor: HINCKS HAROLD THORNTHWAITE
Filed: 1904-09-03
Granted: 1905-06-22
Abstract: 19,061. Hincks, H. T. Sept. 3. Slide rules. - Circular logarithmic multiplying and dividing rules are shown, with scales designed for calculating the Ohm's law relations between the dimensions of electric conductors, their specific conductivity, and the current and voltage for which they are to be used. Stationary upon the base-plate are scales b, c of voltage and " conductivity constant respectively. Between them is a rotatable disc, covering the scale c except where a gapf allows of setting, and itself carrying scales g, h respectively of amperes and area of conductor in thousandths of a square inch. The quantity set upon the "conductivity constant" scale is the area of conductor of the particular material to be used which will have a resistance of one ohm per thousand yards, with an increase of 5'7 oer cent. over the theoretical value for variation, bad joints, and sag, and has different values for continuous, single-phase, or polyphase currents. When the arrow d upon the movable outermost or length-of-conductor scale e is set to the proper constant, for any position of the disc g h corresponding values of the current, voltage, and length of conductor will be on the same radial line, and any one may be determined if the other two are known. Fig. 5 shows the scales mounted in a casing k of watch form, and in other modifications there are means for rotating the rings. The apparatus can be used for calculations with regard to the flow of liquids in pipes.

Title: Improvements in connection with Single Phase Alternate Current Electrical Motors provided with Commutators
Filed: 1905-05-31
Granted: 1906-02-01
Abstract: 11,440. Elektrizitõts-Akt-Ges. vorm. w. Lahmeyer & Co. July 11, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Field magnets; motors, controlling.-In singlephase commutator motors having a main winding and an auxiliary winding for displacing the main field at starting upon the stator, the auxiliary winding is made in two parts displaced relatively to one another and to the main winding. At starting, one part of the auxiliary winding is connected to weaken the main winding, while the other part strengthens the main winding. In normal working, both parts strengthen the main winding. Fig. 1 shows the connexions of the main winding I and auxiliary windings II, III for normal working. The points of connexion 3, 4 and 5, 6 of the auxiliary windings are reversed to displace the main field according as the motor is required to start in one direction or the other. In order to utilize the whole of the stator slots, the symmetrical arrangement shown in Fig. 4, which requires an even number of slots, is used. The main winding I is a uniformlydistributed monophase winding, while the auxiliary winding consists of a two-phase uniformly-distributed winding having one-half of the number of poles of the first, so that the parts II, III of the auxiliary winding are alike and in quadrature with one another. The ratio of the number of coils in the auxiliary windings to the number of coils in the main winding depends upon the required angular displacement of the field, i. e., for a given number of coils in the main winding, the number of coils in the auxiliary windings is almost proportional to the tangent of the angle of displacement. Diagrams are given showing the magnetic fields due to each winding separately, and also the resultant field due to the windings II, III.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Printing Presses.
Inventor: BARBER THOMAS WALTER
Filed: 1905-08-05
Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 16,073. Barber, T. W. Aug. 5. Distributing steam; engines combined with printing-machines; engines with reciprocating cylinders; valves and valve -gear.-Relates to improvements in printing-presses, particularly applicable to the type of apparatus described in Specification No. 13,010, A.D. 1903. The objects of the invention are to prevent accidental stoppage of the machine, particularly when it is being driven slowly for cleaning purposes, and for this purpose an auxiliary motor, worked from the exhaust of the carriage-motor, is provided. The carriage A is reciprocated on the frame B by means of a cylinder C, piston D, and piston-rods D<1>, compressed air or other fluid being the driving-element. At each end of the cylinder, an exhaust valve E and inlet valve F are provided ; the latter comprises a slotted rotatable sleeve F<1> operated by a crank F<2>, while the former consists of two slotted concentric sleeves K, L, the sleeve K being operated by a crank K<3> and the sleeve L by a crank L<2>. The exhaust valves E-communicate by pipes H with an auxiliary cylinder J having an exhaust J', piston J<2>, and piston-rods J<3>,the latter being connected to the cranks.K<3> by links J<4>. The opposite ends of the cranks K<2> are connected to the cranks F' by rods M. Stops 0, P, Q on concentric shafts O<1>, P<1> Q<1> and rotatable by handles O<2>, P<2>, Q<2> serve to vary the length of stroke of the carriage. The particular stop used is positioned so as to come in contact with the. crank L<2> and thus rotate the sleeve L. The slot L<1> acting in conjunction with the slot K' forms a pilot-valve and allows some of the fluid to escape into the cylinder J. The consequent movement of the cranks K<3> causes the slot K<2> in one of the sleeves K to provide a complete exhaust, and also closes the exhaust at the other end of the machine. When the rod M, actuated by the closing exhaust, reaches the end of a slot F' in the crank F<2>, the corresponding inlet valve is closed and the other inlet opened The invention is applicable to any printing-press in which the valves of the carriage-motor are operated by the moving carriage. Slide valves or drop valves may be used instead of the rotary valves, and the exhaust valves may be operated by one crank instead of two.

Title: Improvements in Inking Mechanism for Cylinder Presses
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1905-08-15
Granted: 1906-01-18
Abstract: 16,544. Fairweather, W., [Redington, F. B.]. Aug. 15. Cylinder machines with plane printing-surfaces; inking-apparatus.-Relates to inking-apparatus for cylinder printing-presses usually having a plurality of formes and a separate set of inking-rolls for each. The "rider-rolls" 35, 36 of each set are actuated by gears 37, 38, 39, 40 from racks 41 on the reciprocating type-bed 21, and the inking-rolls 31, 32, 33, 34, maintained always in contact with the rider-rolls, are supported in forked bearings 42, each being formed on one side of an inclined hollow cylinder 43, slidable in a recess in a block 44 bolted to the frame 20. The cylinders 43 contain spiral springs, which, acting against plates 46, tend to depress the cylinders against the action of adjustable screws 48 carried by the levers 47. In the case of the rolls 31, the lever 47 is jointed to a pivoted cam-lever 49, which is actuated by a cam 50 secured to the reciprocating bed. The lever 47 of the roll 32 is jointed to a cam-lever 52 actuated by the underside of a cam 54. The ends of each of the cams 50, 54 are made sloping. The roll 33 is actuated by a cam-lever 55, but the roll 34 is connected by links 57, 59 and cranks 60 with a. shaft 61 adapted to be rocked by a foot-pedal, provided in connexion with a lever 76, link 63, crank 62, and mechanism (not shown). The levers 49, 52, 55 are similarly connected with the cranks 60, 88 on the shaft 61 by means of links 91, 89, 90. The rolls are normally raised by the reciprocating type-bed at times when the application of ink is not required, but, by the mechanism described above, they may be raised out of action at will. The sides of the blocks 44 form stops preventing axial movement of the roll journals, and the blocks 44 are slotted for the reception of their attaching- screws, thus allowing horizontal adjustment. The cam-levers 49, 52, 55, 57 are hung from the blocks, so that, when the latter are horizontally adjusted to suit the condition of the rolls, the time of action of the inking-rolls is not altered with respect to the formes.

Telephone systems; telegraphs.-In party-line electric signalling-systems, and particularly in party-line telephone systems, a common signalling-battery is connected to the two linewires through the coils of a differential relay. The Figure shows two stations A, B provided with the usual telephone apparatus and with h a relay 1, calling-key 9, and resistance A arranged as shown. The common battery 12 is normally connected to the linewires L, L', through the differential relay 10. If subscriber A wishes to call, he depresses the key 9 and earths the battery 12 through both coils 10. Owing to the resistance R, the currents in the two coils are unequal and the armature 11 is attracted, breaking the connexion with the line L. Current also flows through the relays 1 at all stations, closing the circuits of the call bells 4, the desired station being called by code ringing. The relay 10 may be replaced by an ordinary relay and a resistance..

Abstract: 23,527. Copland, A. W. Nov. 15. Cakes; confectionery.-In a machine for icing cakes &c., the articles to be coated are fed on to a reversing suction holder, and are coated while held in a reversed position by raising a coating-liquid into contact with them. The holder consists of a cylindrical casing 0, carrying two hollow heads C<1>, C' with perforated top plates c, and rotates round a stationary cylinder D connected with an exhaust apparatus. The heads C<1>, C<2> communicate with the suction cylinder D through openings e, h, except during the upper part of their path, when a projection f on the cylinder covers the openings e. Cakes from a receptacle B are pushed on to the holder by a reciprocating pusher E. An advance pusher G pushes the coated cakes from the holder on to a conveyer H, and is raised on its return movement by spring fingers J<1> and guides I<1>. The holder is given a half turn, the cakes being held in the reversed position by the suction action. The cakes are coated by a tray K<1>, which is carried by a reciprocating bar K<3> and dips into a container K. Excess of coating-material is removed by a reciprocating scraper N', which, when rounded cakes are being coated, has a curved edge and moves, by contact with a cam surface in a path parallel to the surface of the cake. A scraping-blade, carried by a rock frame pivotably secured to the tank K and adjustably connected to a roller which engages flanges on the suction heads to maintain the scraper at a uniform distance from the coated article, may be used. In place of reciprocating trays K<1>, fixed trays supplied with coating-material by reciprocation of a piston in a chamber shut off from the tank K, may be used. Excess of coating- material overflows a flange on the trays, so that the coating-material will attain a definite level at each reciprocation of the piston.

Granted: 1906-07-12
Abstract: 2451. Soc. GÚnÚrale de Goudronnage des Routes. Feb. 22, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Asphalt paving heaters and tanks, asphalt and like; liquids, distributing. -Figs. 1 and 2 show an apparatus for heating tar, which is subsequently spread on road surfaces by the machine shown in Fig. 3. Coal-tar is poured from barrels 6 into the reservoir 4, either,pivoted shaft extensions 9 and props 12 to take a dray ladder 7, or else rollers 14, Fig. 2, being provided to assist in bringing the bung over the reservoir. The heater is filled with steam from the boiler 1 by the pipe 17 and reducing valve 19, and this steam is condensed by pumping cold water on the heater by a pump 21 and pipe 22, the resulting vacuum causing tar to be drawn from the reservoir into the heater through the pipes 29, 37 and cock 28, which is opened for this operation. The cock 31 is then opened to pass steam through the heating-coil 33, raising the tar to its frothing-temperature, at which juncture the cock is closed again. Any overflow during the frothing passes down the pipe 37 to the reservoir, into which the safety-valve pipe 39 also discharges. The condensed steam passes into a tank 25 and thence, together with the cooling- water, which is collected in a gutter 24, through the pipe 27 to a coil 26, which gives the tar a preliminary heating. The water passes finally into a tank 5 for use as boiler feed. For distribution, the tar is forced through the pipe 41 and cock 42 into the sprinkler tank 43, Fig. 3, by closing the cock 28 and admitting steam to the heater through the pipe 17. The tar is led by a cock 44 through a filter 47 into the distributing tank 46, which is open to the atmosphere and is provided with a float. The object of the intermediate tank and cock is to render the distribution pressure independent of the level in the tank 43. The perforated, distributor 49 has perforated sleeves, whereby its active width may be altered. The tar is spread by brushes 51, the upper ends of the stems of which carry pressure-regulating weights. The lower ends are connected to the frame by chains 55, and the whole brush-gear may be raised by forks 58 operated by a shaft and lever 56. The cocks 44 &c. may be operated by a float and by link-work from the driver's seat.
