Abstract: 13,651. Young, J. S. July 3. Saws.-A stone-cutting saw consists of a series of thin b!ades 2, fixed in an upright position between the two members 3 of a back-bar, recessed if necessary, by bolts 4 and nuts 5, or by screws having the threaded portions of larger diameter so as to provide shoulders for facilitating the release of the blades, the nuts or the screw ends being formed as or fixed to worm-wheels which are rotated by worms on a hand-operated shaft supported in bearings on the back-bar. To allow the saws to be moved laterally, the bars 3 are secured to the end bars 21, 20, 23 of the reciprocating saw frame 22 by clips 11, the two latter end bars being fixed to the side bars 22, and the first, for tightening the saws in the frame, being slidable in the side bars by means of wedge blocks 25, which are operated by a screw 27 and engage with corresponding faces on the bar 21. The ends of the side members of the frame have extensions, to which are fixed brackets provided with bearings for the connecting-rods. The chilled shot, by which the cutting is performed, is interposed between the blades, which may be supported by steel-strip stays 12, each of which is bent to engage in one of a series of recesses and slots in the blade, and the end ones of which are formed with a stay 16 connected to a cross-beam 17, secured to the bracket, through a laterally elongated taper slot so as to permit of vertical as well as of lateral adjustment of the blades. To allow for unequal wear of the blades, the clamping-screws are slackened and the blades all brought to the same level. Cutters 32 may be provided between the blades for moulding, chamfering, &c. the corners of the blocks of sawn stone, the cutters having apertures for feeding the chilled s<1> o<1>.

Granted: 1906-03-29
Abstract: 26,691. FÚry, C. Jan. 6, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Current meters.- The current to be measured f low s along a wire a, b, Fig. 1, and heats one junction S of a tbermo-couple AS, S B, the current produced by the latter being measured by a suspended-coil or mirror galvanometer G. The wires a, b, and the wires or thin blades A S, S B, must be soldered accurately at right - angles. The terminals E, F of the wire a, b, and a brass support A of the brass, copper, or iron element A S, are carried by an insulating-base H. The other element S B, of constantan, german silver, &c., is joined to a metallic tube T, which constitutes the cold junction B, and entirely surrounds the wires AS, SB and the hot junction S, causing a rapid cooling of the latter by radiation when the current is cut off. The whole is covered by a lid M. Fig. 2 shows two heating-wires a, b, one soldered at S as before, and the other kept taut by a spring at a short distance above the joint B, which is only heated by radiation. The parts A S, B C are of iron or copper, and the part S B of constantan. The instrument is thus rendered less sensitive and its range increased, owing to the heating of the junction B by an amount depending upon the difference of the fourth powers of the absolute temperatures of the joint B and the heating-wire b.

Title: Improvements in Percussive Machines and Tools, Operated by Expansible Fluid.
Inventor: MAUSS WILHELM
Filed: 1906-03-01
Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 5022. Mauss, W. March 1. Percussive hand-tools.-The driving-fluid of a percussive machine or tool, such as a rock drill, of that type in which the full fluid pressure acts continuously on the working piston, works at full pressure on the forward stroke, but is expanded on the backward stroke. The forward end 2 of the differential piston is larger in effective area than the rear end 4, which is constantly open to fluid pressure through ports 6, 7. On the backward stroke of the piston, fluid passes through the port 13, the admission being regulated by the boss 15 engaging a tappet 12, which operates a valve. When the shoulder 16 on the piston engages the tappet, driving-fluid is cut off and the fluid expanded until the boss 2 contacts with the tappet, when the valve opens the port 13 to exhaust through the port 14. The space behind the boss 15 is open to the atmosphere through the port 9. Where intermittent rotation of the drill is required, to avoid undue enlargement of the piston, a ratchet device is arranged to operate upon a rifled portion of the side of the piston or piston rod.
