Granted: 1911-11-30
Abstract: 5045. Hoffmann Manufacturing Co., and Schmidt, O. A. Feb. 28. Rollers, treating.-In a machine for grinding at right-angles to their length the ends of rollers such as are used in roller bearings, the rollers are passed round a circular guide between a fixed plate 10 and a rotatably-mounted plate 11. the ends of the rollers projecting from the guide into contact with face-grinding disks 2 parallel with the guide-plates but mounted eccentrically thereof so as to give the rollers a travelling rolling motion in the guide. After one passage through the machine the rollers pass over a guide-track 19 and fall down between plates 20 on to a track 21 which forms a hopper for mixing the balls such as is described in Specification 30,391/09.

Abstract: 6710. McMillan, T. D. D. March 17. Stream-cutting machines.-Machines for cutting-up plastic material into rectangular blocks are provided with two sets of rotary knives movably supported so that one set is held in action while the reciprocating plate travels in one direction, and the other set when the plate travels in the other direction. Two shafts carrying cutters d, e are mounted in adjustable bearings carried by swing supports f mounted on a shaft g carried by the brackets h. A table w is reciprocated below the knives and carries the slab of material to be cut. When the machine has made one stroke, the slab is turned through a right-angle and the other set of knives is moved down. The swing frame is locked when either end is lowered by links j, which are pivoted to the bed b and moved to engage the frame. The links on each side are connected by rods i, which are moved by cams on a shaft k' journaled in extensions of the brackets h. An adjustable striker n, mounted on the shaft k<1>, engages stops m<1> on a plate m connecting the swing frames, and so moves the latter. The shaft g is provided with a spurwheel p which gears with wheels q, r on the knife spindles and also transmits motion through reducing - gearing to a rack on the bottom of the reciprocating table.

Abstract: 22,902. Underwood Typewriter Co., and Cooper, J. J. Oct. 17. Line-spacing mechanism. - A spiral writing arrangement for machines wherein the platen is rotated for line-spacing and moved axially for letter-spacing comprises cam-mechanism for rotating the platen during the letter-spacing movement. (1) In the arrangement shown the cam-mechanism consists of a stationary nut L engaging a screw K which is journaled in the carriage B and is geared to a pinion F which is loose on the platen-spindle c and is coupled by a pawl to a pinion H fast on the platen-spindle. The pawl consists of a roller g on an arm G pivoted on an arm G<1> secured to a sleeve f on the pinion F. The pawl is held in engagement by a spring g<1> and is adapted to yield in either direction to permit of 'independent rotation of the platen by the usual line-spacing lever E or the finger-wheels C<1>, C<2>. The arrangement )s particularly adapted for writing the words of a song on the tune-sheet D of a mechanicallyplayed piano, the sheet being fed in the direction z during each letter-spacing movement in the direction x so that the words are written on oblique lines ascending from left to right. (2) To prevent relative rotation of the nut L and the screw K when the carriage is shifted for change of case, the nut is connected to the framework by a linkage such as a link M which is pivoted at m to the framework and is pivoted at n to a radius-arm ! on the nut, the pivot n being arranged below the line joining the axis of the screw K to the pivot m.

Abstract: 24,685. Madaler, F. von, and Morten, R. H. Nov. 6. Magnetos, driving.- A dynamo for lighting cycles or motor-vehicles is pivotally mounted so that, above a certain speed, the friction driv ing-wheel, normally pressed against a road wheel or the engine fly wheel, is separated therefrom by a centrifugal device. The field magnets c are mounted by ball bearings on a fixed pin g, provided with an arm n, between which and a bracket o on the magnets is a spring m, arranged to keep the friction wheel j against the road wheel k. Mounted on the spindle a is a centrifugal device p, adapted, by means of a grooved sliding collar q, to rock a lever s, pivoted to a bracket t. The lever s is bevelled at u, and bears against a face v on the fixed arm n, so as to cause the machine to rock on its pivot as the speed increases. An arm w on the lever s connects the lighting circuit with either an accumulator or the dynamo by means of contacts x, y respectively. The wheel j consists of a series of leather, raw hide, and fibre disks, and may be arranged to bear on the engine fly-wheel. A double-pole two-way switch may be used to connect the lighting or ignition circuits to the dynamo or accumulator.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Extraction or Coagulation and other Treatment of India Rubber from the Latex.
Inventor: DAVIDSON SAMUEL CLELAND
IPC: C08C1/14
Filed: 1911-11-13
Granted: 1912-12-13
Abstract: 25,256. Davidson, S. C. Nov. 13. [Cognate Application, 11,273/12.] Latex, coagulating; vulcanizing; india-rubber, preparation of. - Relates to a process for the coagulation and other treatment of latex in which nascent sulphur is precipitated in the rubber. The latex is first subjected to a hot or cold treatment with a soluble salt of sulphur which is capable of precipitating sulphur, such as hyposulphite or sulphide. These sulphur salts may be first rendered alkaline with ammonia, soda, potash, sodium carbonate or biborate, soap, alkalized creosote or carbolic, or a mixture of both, &c., and a small quantity of formaldehyde may also be added. The disinfectants referred to above may be added to the latex previous to adding soluble sulphur compounds. The second step consists in adding an acid or other suitable reagent such as acetic, trichloracetic, sulphuric, hydrochloric, or hydrofluoric acids, in order to cause both coagulation and precipitation of sulphur. A suitable disinfectant, such as creosote or carbolic acid, may be mixed with the acid solution, The mother liquors may then be washed out of the coagulated latex in the usual manner, but it is usually desirable to subject it to a further treatment as follows: -The rubber is washed in a neutralizing- bath, such as sodium or magnesium carbonate, precipitated chalk, calcium hydrate, zinc oxide, or a soluble salts of sulphur which liberates further sulphur by reaction with the free acid present. Sodium chloride may also be added to the bath. The rubber is then dried and otherwise prepared for the market. The manufacturer may add additional sulphur for vulcanization.
