Title: Apparatus for Facilitating Cutting Out Wearing Apparel.
Inventor: TILSTON EDWARD
IPC: A41H3/00
Filed: 1910-12-23
Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 21,515. Tilston, E. Dec. 23. Cutting -out.- Dress sections are cut by the aid of a chart of the kind which is shaped to an out-size and is provided with scales at its edges and at critical points to enable the desired points to be pricked on to a paper pattern, these points being joined by using the edges of the chart as a ruler. According to the invention, the critical points of the chart are arranged in two groups, and, after drawing a base line and pricking off one group of points, a measurement is made along the base line, whereupon the chart is replaced in a new position and the second group of points marked off; these points are then joined by the edges of the chart, which serves as a ruler, no intermediate scales being used for indicating the crucial points. Fig. 1 shows a chart for a half-back section of a blouse. The base edge a, b has two scales n, g graduated in accordance with collar and under-arm seam measurements respectively. Waist measurements are indicated on a scale h, and intersecting lines are drawn from the points on the scales g, h parallel to the waist-line and centre back-line a, b respectively. Scales p, m are drawn from the points e, d corresponding to bust measurements, and a scale o is provided at f graduated according to collar measurements. A scale q, graduated according to centre back measurements between the armholes, may be provided to give a check point. In use, the chart is placed on a sheet of paper or other material, a pencil is run along the line a, b to give a base line, and the points k, l, m are marked off according to the measurements required. The chart is then removed, and the length from neck to waist of the person to be fitted is marked off on a b. The chart is then replaced, the upper extremity of this measurement being coincident with the proper graduation of the scale n, and the points o, p are pricked off. The check point q is marked, if desired, and all the points are then joined by means of the corresponding edges of the chart. Fig. 2 shows a chart for a half-front section, the points being arranged in groups k, l, m and o, p as before. The scale m is in this case on the neck line a, f, and, after removing the chart and measuring along a b as base line on the material, the point a is placed at the upper end of this line. For drawing in a dart, scales s graduated according to waist measurements are provided to give points x, y, and a chart, Fig. 6, is laid so that its edge t u lies along the line k, l with the points v, w equidistant from the points x, y. The point z is obtained from a scale 2, graduated according to under-arm seam measurements.

Granted: 1912-05-09
Abstract: 18,250. Mick, A. Aug. 27, 1910, [Convention date]. Sawing.-In a machine for sawing stone, marble, &c., a pendulum motion is imparted to the saw frame by a shaft which partakes of the vertical movement of the saw frame and has cranks engaging in pivoted links which carry the frame. The saw frame 2 is reciprocated by a crank-shaft 35 engaging slots in a pair of the pivoted links 4 from which the frame is suspended, the shaft 35 being driven through sliding bevel-gears 40, 42, shafts 44, 45 and bevel-gears 46, 47, 48, 49 from a shaft 50 driven through variable-gearing 51, 52 or single wheels from a driving-shaft 24 driven by a variable-speed motor or other means. The saw frame is guided by rollers 62 and the crank shaft is supported in the sliding-guides 32 of the saw frame. The saw frame is suspended by cables 8, passing over pulleys 9, 10, from nuts 13 on a right and left hand screw 14 which is rotated to lower or raise the frame. To lower the frame, variable gearing 21, 22 or friction or like gearing, a worm 19 and a worm-wheel 18 drive the screw By means of a pawl. To raise the frame, the pawl is released, and bevel-wheels 56, 57 are put in gear. The variable gears and the bevel-wheel 57 are adjusted by hand through chain-wheels 25, 55, 59 on screwed portions of a shaft 28. Gear cases 60, 83 are provided where required, the cases 60 having arcuate slots to allow reciprocation over the crank-shaft 35. The blades 64 are connected to forks 66 having spurs 67 engaging a slot in a cross-bar 69, the forks being secured by a bar 70 and screws 71. The bars 70 are graduated to facilitate lateral adjustment of the blades. The cross-bars have screwed stems 72 passing between the end bars of the frame. The stems 72 at one end of the saw frame are engaged by plain nuts and at the other end by nuts 73 having worm-wheel teeth engaged by worms 74 adapted to be rotated simultaneously by a ratchet lever 81 to tighten the saw blades simultaneously.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Signalling on Trains and for Stopping Trains.
Inventor: SNYERS RAYMOND
IPC: B61L3/04

Granted: 1912-06-20
Abstract: 23,999. Snyers, R. Oct. 30. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains.-Track contacts comprise a series of flexible plates 1, Fig. 1, clamped in a trough 3 by screws 5. Hinged, laterally movable, and double contacts are described. The signal-actuating apparatus carried on the engine is shown in Fig. 7, in which a rigid contact member is hinged to two swinging levers 2, which actuate a slide valve 3 controlling the supply of pressure fluid to a reservoir 5. The reservoir 5 communicates by two pipes 6 with two pistons 7. In the mid position of the contact member 1, the pistons 7 uncover two openings 8 leading to a pipe 11 which leads to an audible or visual signal. When the contact member 1 meets the flexible members of the track contact, it is pushed in one direction or the other according to the direction of the engine. The valve 3 is opened and at the same time one of the pistons 7 is pushed in. The pressure fluid admitted to the reservoir 5 repels the displaced piston 7 to its initial position, thereby returning the member 1 to its mid position and closing the valve 3. The fluid admitted to the reservoir passes into the pipe 11 through the open port 8 uncovered by the motionless piston 7, thereby actuating the signal. The signal may consist of a whistle, or the pressure fluid may actuate simultaneously a whistle and a visual sig nal, the latter being placed preferably so as to come across the driver's look-out. In a modification a brake is actuated simultaneously with the signals. In a further modification two sets of apparatus are provided, one for operating signals and the other for actuating the brake. The track contact may be rigid and the flexible plates 1 carried by the engine contact. Specification 11,234/87 is referred to.

Abstract: 13,039. Haddan, R., [National Cash Register Co.]. Nov. 22, 1911. Cash registers with operating-means; zeroizing-mechanism.-Zeroizing-mechanism for the totalizers of cash registers is arranged to be operated only by authorized persons, and is provided with a counter for the number of times it is operated. The apparatus is shown applied to a machine of the class described in Specification 26,171/11. The totalizer wheels are arranged to be turned, the unit wheel to zero and the rest to the ' nine ' position on the positive stroke, and the transfer mechanism is operated to bring all to zero on the return stroke of the operating-mechanism. The counter spindle 55 is rotated by gearing from a segment 152 operated by an upright 153 attached to the tablet-operating bar 24. On the down stroke of the bar a similar segment 123 operates a pinion 125 to actuate the transfer-actuating shaft 110. The pinion 125 is loose on the shaft but has a pawl 128 to engage a channel in a sleeve 126 fast on the shaft. During the upward movement of the bar 24 the pawl moves idly round the sleeve but drops at the end of the turn into the groove, at the same time that a check pawl 129 is lifted therefrom by a pin 131 on the segment 123. The return movement turns the shaft 110, the pawl 129 now riding loosely on the sleeve. The shaft 55 is connected to the driven pinion 139 by a clutch, of which one member is attached to the pinion 139 loose on the shaft and the other member is slotted to engage , a stud on the shaft and has a groove engaging the bolt 147 of a lock 146 for use by an authorized person. A projection 148 on the bolt actuates an operation counter 150 for the lock.

Abstract: 24,080. Barratt, A. J. Oct. 22. Barrel and cylindrical hinges for the lids of tea and coffee pots, biscuit jars, jugs, &c. are made from flat blanks a<2> cut from a sheet a of uniform thickness and subjected to die pressure to shape it to the required crosssection as shown in Fig. 3. The edge c<2> is then trimmed off, and the knuckle edge d, Fig. 5, partly milled into shape.
