Abstract: 26,579. Silk, W. R. Nov. 23. Moulding parts of bearings.-Dust-excluding and oil-retaining shields, washers, &c. for shafts, wheels, and axles are moulded in one process of full sectional thickness from a composition consisting of cork, wood-flour, dextrin, vegetable fibre, cotton, hair, asbestos, &c., combined with oxidized oils &c., forming a flexible and elastic material. Fig. 1 shows a mould consisting of upper and lower parts with convex faces a, a<1> and recesses b, b<1>, which are reciprocated in contact under pressure. The recesses may be formed in two rollers or in a roller and plate. Fig. 4 shows a box mould A, the lid b of which is fitted with stops c to regulate the thickness of the material. The dust shield may be made in segments as shown in Fig. 10, which may be held together by a binder of metal or surrounded by composition. The segments may be dovetailed together. The shields or segments may be recessed on both faces for the purpose of decreasing the weight and increasing the flexibility. Wiregauze, canvas, fibre, &c. may be embedded in the composition.

Title: Improvements relating to the Manufacture of Cellulose Esters.
Inventor: LEDERER LEONHARD
Filed: 1907-02-07
Granted: 1907-07-04
Abstract: 3103. Lederer, L. Feb. 7. Cellulose esters are obtained directly in the solid state by acidylizing cellulose in presence of carbon tetrachloride, in which the cellulose and esters are insoluble. In an example, cotton is hydrolyzed with glacial acetic acid and sulphuric acid, then carbon tetrachloride is added and the product is acetylized with acetic anhydride diluted with carbon tetrachloride ; the acetate, which has the structure of the raw material, is separated by pressure or centrifugal action and free from acid in the known manner. Yarns, woven fabrics, &c. of cellulose mixed or not with other fibrous materials may be acidylized similarly. Specification No. 24,083, A.D. 1904, is referred to.

Inventor: RENAUD HENRI
Filed: 1908-01-28
Granted: 1909-01-28
Abstract: 1939. Renaud, H. Jan. 28. Ellipsographs. - A machine for marking out patterns for boots and shoes, and other articles in varying sizes from a templet, and suitable in some instances for cutting out, is shown in Fig. 1, and consists of a pendulum 6 mounted in a spherical pivot 5 and carrying two arms 9, 10 adjustable thereon. The pendulum pivot is adjustable on an horizontal arm of an upright 3 fixed in a trough containing a block of soft wood. A table 13 on a bracket 14 may be clamped at any point on a slide 15 fixed to the upright 3. The templet 11 is placed on the wood block 2 or on the table 13 according as a reduced pattern or an enlarged pattern is required. The paper or cardboard, which is to be marked or cut by the pencil or point 12 in arm 10, is clamped to the table 13 by the lever 16 and its screw. To enable the pencil and point to follow the pattern &c. with ease, the arms'9, 10 slide freely on the pendulum 6 by the aid of rollers mounted iu the arms between which the pendulum rod passes. The pendulum has a counterweight 8. A modified construction is shown in Fig. 6, in which the pencil and point arms, Fig. 9, are composed of a double-parallelogram of pivoted rods 23, 24, connecting the pencil or point block 22 to a slide 20, which is clamped in the required position on the pendulum rod 6. A projection from the clamp between the two sets of pivoted rods serves to guide the pencil or point, and a counterweight 26 on an extension of one of the rods 23 gives lightness of action to the device. By adjusting the table 13 various sizes of similar patterns may be marked out.

Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 27,900. Noel, J. M. Dec. 22. Motor road vehicles.-The engine of a motor-cycle drives through a one-way clutch which allows t h e wheels to run freely when the power is cut off, the clutch being rendered inoperative, when required, to permit free backing of the cycle. A one-way or friction clutch between the pedal shaft and the engine is also provided for starting. In the form of driving-clutch shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the hub 19 of the driving-belt or chain pulley projects within an annular flange 18 on a rigid disk 17 fixed to the engine shaft 10. The hub is provided with tapering recesses 20 containing balls which jam against the flange 18 for driving. To permit free backing of the cycle, a slight adjustment of an auxiliary disk 22 causes pins 23 projecting through slots in the hub to move the balls into their inoperative positions. Several forms of starting-clutches between the pedal shaft and engine shaft are shown. In one form a series of tapered recesses, adapted to receive balls which jam and transmit the drive, are arranged alongside ball bearings. In the form shown in Figs. 7 and 8, a double rocking pawl 38 is placed in a slot in the engine shaft 10, the opposite ends of the pawl engaging alternately, where overrunning takes place, with projections 37 on the sprocket-wheel 35. Fig. 6 showed a form of friction clutch for starting. The sprocket-wheel 41 is provided with a friction face which is pressed against a similar face secured to the shaft whenever a lug 42 on the sprocketwheel bears against a yielding arm 43, the period of contact being sufficient to start the engine.
