Granted: 1913-09-26
Abstract: 21,906. Short, C. H. Sept. 26. Mitering.-Consists in making the arms of a mitre shooting-board simultaneously adjustable. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, which is intended for cutting angles of 45 degrees, the arms A are pivoted at E to the shooting-board and at D to nuts working on a right and left handed screw B, which may be turned by a tommy engaging holes in an enlarged portion F. The arms A are first set at 45 degrees, and it is found that, after shooting, the ends of the moulding have an angle slightly less than 45 degrees. The ends of the mouldings are then placed together in the angle between the arms A, which are readjusted to lie against the sides of the mouldings. The ends of the mouldings, when replaned, will be at the correct angle. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, for cutting any angle, the arms A are connected to the screw B by links H. For angles less than 45 degrees, the links are connected to the nuts D through the holes N. For angles greater than 45 degrees, the links are connected to the nuts by means of the slots P, and the links are swung under the arms A and connected thereto by screws through the holes N. The arms are slotted, as shown in dotted lines, to allow the requisite motion along the arms of the pivotal connexion at D. The arms are provided with movable faces G which may be adjusted to meet the path C of the plane. The arrangement may also he used for sawing.

Abstract: 15,227. Kerr, T. C. April 17. [Addition to 27,722/13.] Electrical s y s t e m s, automatic; track apparatus actuating signals on trains.-In order to ensure that two engines, equipped as described in the parent Specification and travelling at the same speed in reverse directions on the same track or on intersecting tracks, may be stopped or warned, an additional source of energy H of higher electromotive force than the source of energy A is connected to a second contact-shoe p, and the track conductors are placed so as to engage this contact-shoe or the shoe o, according to the direction of running o f the locomotive. When trains approach in opposite directions, the additional source ot energy of one only is in the circuit, and this ensures a current, even if the effective potential of the sources of energy A, as determined by the switch B, is the same. Means are provided whereby, when the reversing-lever of the locomotive is operated, a time-switch x, Fig. 3, periodically cuts out the source of energy A on one train so as to cause current from the other train to operate the engine apparatus when a train travelling tender-first approaches another travelling at equal speed, funnel-first, and in the opposite direction. The switch x is moved up by a clock-driven cam y against the action of a spring, and when this switch is raised, the circuit from the shoe p includes the battery H, contacts x<4>, x<2>, battery A, switch B, and coil C. When the switch x is lowered, the circuit from shoe p passes through battery H, contacts x<3>, y<1>, y<2>, to switch B and coil C.
