Granted: 1900-07-28
Abstract: 21,497. Imray, O., [Garrett, W., and Cromwell, J. C.]. Oct. 27. Drawing; wire.-A wire reel, specially suitable for holding wire rod for drawing, has hooks 7, pivoted in slots in a flange 6 on a disc 5, and linked to a disc 10. The boss 4 of the disc 5 rests on a collar 3 fixed to a central driving-shaft 2. The disc 10 is feathered on the boss 4 and attached to a shield 11 carried by a ring with two friction surfaces 14, 15. The surface 15 is formed on a ring 16 keyed to the driving-shaft, and the surface 14 is formed on a brake ring 17, which can be raised by a motor 44 and connections 42, 43, as shown in Fig. 5.

Patent GB-190104202-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Artificial Stone.
Inventor: MARX FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1901-02-27
Granted: 1901-06-22
Abstract: 4202. Marx, F. Feb. 27. Lithographic stones, artificial.-Relates to the manufacture of artificial stone free from pores, and specially adapted for lithographic purposes. The materials employed are finely-ground calcium carbonate (marble or limestone), and burnt magnesite, together with a solution of magnesium chloride. In certain cases the burnt magnesite is re-converted into carbonate by means of carbonic acid. The commercial magnesium chloride is purified by exposing the solution to the open air for 10 or 12 days, whereby the sodium chloride, magnesium sulphate, &c. crystallize out, and the clay &c. are deposited. The dry materials are fed into the drum a through the funnel b, and the solution of magnesium chloride is placed in the vessel f. The drum contains mixing and grinding balls p, which are prevented by a grating e from passing out when the materials are discharged. The drum is closed, and the air is partially exhausted by a suitable appliance n. Liquid is admitted from the vessel f, and the pipes are disconnected and the drum rotated. A mould l is placed in a casing h, which is exhausted by an appliance m so as to produce a still greater vacuum than that in the drum a. Communication is established between the drum and the casing h, the materials being transferred to the mould l, which can then be removed from the casing. The stone is allowed to solidify in the open air

Granted: 1901-10-05
Abstract: 17,021. Naumann, B. Aug. 24. Type-writers.-Relates to tabulating-devices for use in writing columns of figures &c. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus in plan view. The forward end of a lever b bears a thumb-piece t, which moves before a scale q graduated in units, tens, hundreds, &c. To the lever b is pivoted at c a lever a having at its front end a stud o adapted to engage with a notch p in the lever b, and pivoted at its rear end to a block w. The block w is hinged to the lower end of a vertical frame adapted to oscillate about a horizontal shaft m, which is also free to slide longitudinally. The upper portion of the vertical frame carries a rack n, on which can be fixed one or more column stops v. The pivot c is free to slide in a slot d, and the levers a, b are tensioned by springs f, j, g respectively. The thumb-piece t, having been brought before the proper scale division, is pushed rearwardly, a projection i engaging in a notch beneath the scale, The pivot c slides rearwardly in the slot d, and the vertical frame is rocked so that its upper part swings towards the operator. The stop v is thus brought into the path of the carriage, and at the same time the frame comes in contact with the carriage-releasing dog, and frees the carriage. The carriage is not abruptly stopped on reaching the stop v, but carries the rack n and shaft m with it, against the tension of the springf, until the stud o enters the notch p and the levers a, b are in line. When the lever b is released, the springs f, j, g restore the parts to the normal position, and the carriage rack re-engages with the feed-mechanism.

Granted: 1902-04-17
Abstract: 25,744. Plaster, P. C., and Miller, J. H. Dec. 17. Alarms, burglar and like.-A bell is arranged in connection with the knob of a door latch to act automatically as a burglar alarm, or by the operation of a push-button. The outer knob B is attached to the latch spindle D in the ordinary manner, and is arranged to act as a guide for a spring-controllel push-button F, which projects through a recess in a cap H secured to the knob. The button is adapted to operate a push-rod I, which extends through a groove in the spindle D, or may pass through a perforation therein, or may run external to the spindle. The stem of the inner knob C is attached to the spindle, and within the body of the knob is mounted a gong or bell, the outer part of which may serve as a cap for the knob. The hub J' of the gong takes upon a post C<4> attached to, or formed with, the knob base, and to this hub is attached one end of a spring K, the outer end being secured to a post projecting from the knob. A toothed wheel L, provided with ratchet teeth on the face, is carried by the hub J<2>, and gears with a pinion M mounted on a shaft Q. An arm N, or disc, secured to the shaft carries a pawl, which engages a ratchetwheel 0, loosely mounted on the shaft, and which is attached to, or formed integral with, a ratchetwheel P. One end of a pivoted spring-controlled lever W engages the wheel P, and the other end carries a hammer W<1>. A stop v is provided for the lever W. The ratchet teeth on the wheel L are engaged by a spring-controlled pawl R, pivoted in a channel in the base and having one end n projecting through a perforation in the knob. The wheel L may be formed by a toothed wheel and a ratchet-wheel secured together. The collar E<1> of the rose E has a recess in which a block V with two wedge-shaped projections takes. A pin on the neck of this block engages an oblique groove on a sleeve U surrounding the. collar so that, by rotating the sleeve, the block may be forced forward or withdrawn. Normally the block is out of the path of the end n of the pawl R, but, by sliding the block forward, it is brought to a position such that the end n lies between the projections, in which position, by turning the handle, the pawl R is operated to release the wheel L and allow the spring K to operate the hammer and sound the gong. In this position, the device acts as a burglar alarm. The spring is wound up by rotating the gong.
