Abstract: 10,644. Baines, F. E. V. May 9. Pencil sharpeners.-Relates to a pencil sharpener in which the pencil is sharpened by a side cutter having spiral cutting-edges moving with a planetary motion. A frame B mounted in bearings in a casing A carries a cutter E with spiral cutting- edges e and an end flange E<1> arranged on a cylinder or on a truncated cone, the slant sides of which may be slightly convex, straight, or of other suitable shape. The pencil holder C, adjustably mounted in the axle of the frame B by means of set-screws b<2>, b<3>, has a longitudinal slot through which the pencil projects and engages the cutter. On turning the handle D, the cutter receives a planetary motion by virtue of the pinion F engaging with an internally-toothed wheel G secured in the casing A. The holder C may be fitted with interchangeable bushes to fit any size of pencil, the attachment being made by a bayonet joint &c. Figs. 9 and 10 show the device adapted for hand use, the former showing two cutters mounted in a casing B'. The extension a' of the part A' enables the latter part to be held in the band. One of the cutters is adapted to cut only the wooden part of the pencil, while the other is made in two parts enabling the part subject to most wear, viz., that part cutting the graphite, to be renewed independently of the other part. In Fig. 10, the cutter E is contained inside the casing a<2>, and the pencil-holder is adapted for poly-sided pencils. In this case, the wood part of the pencil is cut away by a knife K on rotating the part a<2>, the cutter E being simultaneously actuated. A modification of the construction shown in Fig. 1 is described, in which the various parts are assembled differently, and one of that shown in Fig. 9, in which only one cutter is used.

Patent GB-190624064-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Type Setting and Casting Machines.
Filed: 1906-10-29
Granted: 1906-12-20
Abstract: 24,064. Patent-Industrie-Ges. Nov. 14, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Linotype machines.-Relates to a device 'for automatically stopping the machine in the event of a space-bar being imperfectly placed in the line of matrices. The device is shown applied to the Monoline machine, described in Specification No. 17,135, A.D. 1893. A space-bar X, when released from the magazine, sometimes rests with its nose z<4> above the bar z<7> instead of between the collecting- rail g' and bar z<7>. The space-bar will not then be expanded by the justifying-shoe, and will be damaged when the line is carried to the casting- block. This is prevented by means of a pawl a fixed to a shaft b on the other end of which is a hooked pawl d. A vertically-sliding block g is normally held in a raised position by means of a projection f which is engaged by the pawl d. A slide i, movable horizontally in the block g, carries a roller k which is engaged by a plate l on one of the driving-cams of the machine. The machine is driven through a clutch, one part of which is connected by a pin with a bolt p. When the bolt p is pressed, the clutch is disengaged and, when the pressure is removed, is re-engaged by a spring. Against the bolt p rests a lever q carrying a roller s. The machine can be stopped by band by means of a slide u, having an oblique end which bears on the roller s, and being connected by a rod t with a hand-lever. The slide i is caused to reciprocate in the block g by the plate l and a spring, and is provided with an extension w. When the block g is.in its upper or normal position, the part w moves idly over the lever q. Should a space-bar rest with its nose z' above the bar z<7>, it will, when moved, rock the pawl a and shaft b. The pawl d then releases the block g which falls to its lower position. The part w of the slide i strikes the lever q, which presses the bolt p and disengages the clutch. When the machine is again started, the block g is raised by means of levers 3, 4 connected by a link 7 to the rod t. A spring 8 causes the pawl d to re-engage the projection f on the block g.
