Title: Improvements in Perpetual Calendars.
Inventor: JEFFERY WILLIAM GEORGE
IPC: G04B19/243
Filed: 1911-12-30
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 29,357. Jeffery, W. G. Dec. 30. Calendars.-In a clock-actuated calendar, the names of the days are marked on a drum D, driven by a pawl-bearing lever J connected to a pivoted spring-controlled rocker I, which is depressed and released daily by a cam F. A clutch L, M connects the drum to one of two reels A, B on which is wound a strip C bearing the dates. On the end of the drum, seven stops O are provided, with each of which a pivoted detent N on one end of the rocker I engages ir turn, to prevent overdriving, the detent being withdrawn from the path of the stops. when the rocker is depressed by the cam. The detent may be moved clear of the stops to allow the drum to be set by hand. Undue movement of the strip C is prevented by a catch Y pivoted to the framework, having a pin on one end which normally engages in holes in the strip, the catch being raised by means of the rocker I when this is depressed. The number ' 29 ' is marked on a tablet T connected to a. counterbalanced member S, normally held by a detent Z so that the number is out of sight. On February 28th of leap year the clutch L, M is disengaged by hand and the detent Z shifted to allow the member S to rest on the end of the rocker I, so that on the next movement of the rocker the member S is thrown over and the number ' 29 ' exhibited, while the band C remains stationary. The clutch is then re-engaged, and when the strip moves next time, simultaneously with the drum D, a projection V on the reel A restores the piece S, together with the tablet T, to the position in which the number is hidden, after which the detent Z is moved back by hand.

Title: Improvements in Floor Scrapers.
Inventor: ANDERSON EMIL WALFRID
IPC: A47L11/04
Filed: 1912-07-29
Granted: 1913-01-23
Abstract: 17,596. Andersen, E. W. July 29. Scrapers.-In a floor-scraper of the type in which the scraping or cutting action takes place during the movement towards the operator, the shaft 12, to which the wheels 13 supporting the scraper carriage are keyed, is fitted with two oppositely coiled springs 20, 21, which assist in starting the scraper at the commencement of each stroke. The springs are mounted on the shaft in a cylindrical casing 17, which is prevented from rotating by a bolt 18. The handle 25 for operating the scraper carriage is secured by a bolt-and-slot connexion 30, 31 to arms 29 on a clutch block 28 mounted on a shaft 23 at the rear end of the carriage 10. A spring- pressed pawl 36 mounted on the carriage normally engages with a slot 33 in the clutch block, but when it is desired to elevate the forward end of the machine, the pawl 36 is disengaged from the slot 33 by pressure on a pedal 37 and engaged with a second slot 32.

Title: Improvements relating to the Driving Mechanism of Printing Presses.
IPC: B41F3/80
Filed: 1912-09-20
Granted: 1913-08-07
Abstract: 21,449. Goss Printing Press Co., [Goss Printing Press Co.]. Sept. 20. Driving printing-machines.-An electric motor drives a printing - press through high or low speed gearing, electric switches being arranged in connexion with the clutch mechanism so that the press must be driven at a low speed before the high-speed mechanism can be operated. The wheel 11 on the shaft 12 of the press is driven by the electric motor 13, Fig. 5. The motion is communicated through low-speed gearing 14, 16, 20, 22 when the clutch 19 is thrown in, and the press is driven at its full speed when the clutch 25 is thrown in. The low-speed clutch is operated by the lever 38 by means of link 39, shaft 41, and links 42, 43, and the high-speed clutch is operated by the handle 29. The spindles 41, 43 through which the low and high speed clutches are operated carry switch arms 46, 49, which make contact across pairs of contacts 47, 48 and 51, 50. These contacts are connected to a number of switches 74 ... 77 in series and a number of switches 81 in parallel. The circuit includes a switch 87 and a solenoid 93. When the lever 38 is operated to throw in the lowspeed clutch, the arm 46 makes contact between the contacts 47, 48. If all the series switches 74 ... 77 are closed and one of the switches 81 is closed, a current flows from the main 53 to the main 52 through the switches and the solenoid 93, thereby raising the core 95. The core raises the switch 87 and inserts the resistance 91 in the circuit, the diminished current being sufficient to hold up the core. The core also carries a contact 96 which bridges the contacts 97 and completes a circuit through the starter 101 and the motor 13 so that the press is driven at the low speed. This may be changed to the high speed by operating the lever 29 to throw in the high-speed clutch 25. At the same time the switch arm 49 passes between the contacts 50, 51 and so maintains the actuating-circuit, whereupon the arm 46 on the low-speed mechanism is withdrawn from the contacts 47, 48. If by mistake the high-speed lever 29 is operated before the low-speed lever 38, the circuit across the contacts 50, 51 is completed. but includes the resistance 60. The resulting current is thus diminished and is too weak to operate the solenoid core 95 so that the motor does not start. Push - buttons 85 may be shunted across the ordinary operator's switches and placed at convenient points in the press to enable a very small degree of movement to be given to the press.

Granted: 1913-07-17
Abstract: 2495. Bas, B. de. Feb. 3, 1912, [Convention date]. Processes.-Cement blocks with a surface layer in relief are formed by the wet casting process by first placing the wet facing - layer and body material in a plain mould and subjecting to a pressure sufficient to remove moisture from the facing-layer and to cause cohesion, and then transferring to a mould formed with the relief &c. and subjecting to the final pressure. For example, a layer of wet cement paste mixed with colouring- material and in some cases fish glue, is poured upon the smooth polished floor of a mould and sprinkled with dry cement until the cement shows no further moisture at its upper surface ; the mould is next filled with a damp mixture of sand and cement, and the whole subjected to suitable pressure ; the pressed block is then transferred to another mould with a floor formed in relief &c. and again pressed. After removal from the mould, the block is allowed to harden for about 24 hours, is then laid in water for a short time, and is finally dried and allowed to harden for some weeks before use.
