Title: Improvements in Machines for Cutting Grass and Grain Crops.
Inventor: PUTZKE OTTO
IPC: A01D59/00
Filed: 1911-07-12
Granted: 1911-10-19
Abstract: 16,136. Patzke, O. July 12. Reaping - machines.-In machines for cutting grass or grain, special means are provided. for periodically discharging the cut crop in heaps behind the machine. The crop collects on prongs 19, Figs. 1 and 2, and is discharged by prongs 36 which are moved periodically from the position shown in dotted lines to that shown in full lines. The prongs 19 are mounted on a shaft 18, which is rocked periodically through an angle of forty-five degrees by the cam 6 and lever mechanism shown. They receive the crop in their raised position and then fall into the position shown. The prongs 36 are fastened to a shaft 35 mounted in a bearing 34 on a vertical spindle 27, which is periodically rocked through a right angle by the cam 7 and lever mechanism shown. As the shaft 35 swings backwards it is rocked about its own axis by the engagement of a bevel-pinion 37 with a fixed wheel or segment 30. A spring 43 returns the shaft 35 to its original position. Automatic means may be provided for uncoupling the pinion 37 to allow the prongs 36 to return to their horizontal position. Filling-blocks may be fixed in the recesses of the cams 6, 7 to vary the action of the collecting and discharging mechanism. The discharging-prongs 36 may be attached to a grassmower to convert it into a grain-cutter. In a modification, two cams are employed to actu te the discharging-prongs 36 and the spring 43 is dispensed with.

Title: Improvements in, or in connection with, Telephone Service Meters.

Granted: 1912-12-19
Abstract: 1157. Wall, P. W. Jan. 15. Meters a n d metering systems.-Connexion with the exchange can only be made when a switch in a call-enumerator at the subscriber's station has been closed by pressing a button, w h i c h simultaneously actuates a counting-apparatus. The switch can subsequently be opened from the exchange, and there are means to prevent the subscriber from interfering with its release. An indicator shows whether the switch is open or closed. T h e switch c in series with the hook-switch is closed by the lug d<1> on the slide d when the button m (guided by the fixed rod e) is depressed. The button is then returned by the spring n, but the slide is retained by the pin o on the armature q engaging the notch s. The arm h of the Veeder counter g is actuated by a pin i on the lever j, which is actuated by the slide d. If the call is effective, the slide is subsequently released and the switch c thereby opened by the exchange operator by means of the electro-magnet r. The subscriber cannot permanently depress the button to maintain the closure of the switch c, as a second switch y in series with the first is held open by the flange m of the press-button until the latter is released. To prevent the subscriber from again depressing the button at the end of the conversation, a spring-controlled catch z is provided. This engages a lug d<2> on the slide d and is thereby normally held out of engagement with the pressbutton m, Fig. 2 ; but so long as the slide is retained as shown in Fig. 4, the upper end of the catch z engages a shoulder m<1> on the button and prevents its depression. The indicator comprises a window v through which can be seen an inscribed plate u on a bell-crank w operated by a lever x which engages a pin on the slide d.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Method of Treating Raw Hide and the Products Resulting therefrom.
Inventor: HENDERSON ALBERT HENRY
IPC: C08L89/06
Filed: 1912-03-19
Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 6790. Henderson, A. H. March 19. Drawings to Specification Scraps, assembling into sheets and the like.- Raw hide in the form of disks or slugs, or in a granulated or shredded condition, is swelled by an agent preferably miscible with either oil or water and, after removal of this agent by means of a solvent, the spongy particles are impregnated with rubber and vulcanized. In place of rubber, reclaimed rubber or rubber substitute may be employed. The subdivided raw hide is treated, with or without heating, in a swelling-bath of animal or vegetable oil, such as Turkey. red oil, until its pores are opened, after which the oil is removed by petroleum, benzene, coal-tar naphtha, or other solvent in a percolator, and the spongy product is dried. This may be done by forcing air, either cold or heated, through the product on a perforated tray. The particles of hide, now swollen to several times their original size, are impregnated with rubber, as by means of a rubber solution, either hot or cold, and are solidified by being fed from a hopper on to rolls which produce a mass of the required thickness. Sulphur may be stirred in the hopper so that the product when vulcanized will consist of spongy particles sealed on their outer surfaces by vulcanization and having untreated rubber within. The comminuted hide may be immersed in a bath of salt prior to the treatment with oil. The material may be moulded, rolled, or pressed, and is suitable as a filler or lining for wheel tyres.

Abstract: 19,167. Aronowitz, I. J. Aug. 21. Embossing; electrotype.-Printed pictures are treated to resemble oil paintings by mounting them on canvas and subsequently embossing them with a die prepared so as to produce marks on the picture in imitation both of the canvas, and of the brush and other marks of an original painting. The die is prepared by producing an electrotype die from a piece of canvas, or the like stretched on a base, and using this first die to emboss a duplicate of the picture. On this embossed picture relief effects are produced by applying, preferably with a brush, a suitable liquid which solidifies quickly, and from the surface so formed a second electrotype die is produced which bears in reverse the required markings. The pictures to be treated with this die are first mounted on canvas, then coated with gelatine or the like, and, when this is dry, with a hardening-solution such as alum. The picture is varnished before the final embossing:

Title: Improvements in Ringing Cut-off Relay Systems for Telephone Exchanges.
Filed: 1913-12-06
Granted: 1914-12-03
Abstract: 28,159. Western Electric Co., [Woodward, F. T., acting for Western Electric Co.]. Dec. 6. Telephone systems.-In a ringing cut-off relay system, described as applied to an automatic exchange system, the cutoff relay operates upon the change of phase displacement of the ringing- current produced by the closure of the direct-current path at the substation. The cut - off relay 11 has two windings, the winding 12 being in the ringing- circuit and the winding 13 connected to a transformer 16 supplied with current from the generator 14. The phase of the current in the winding 13 is adjusted so that the currents in the windings 12, 13 oppose each other as long as the current in the ringing- circuit leads the voltage, owing to the capacity at the sub-station, but when the receiver is removed, the introduction of inductance into the line circuit causes the ringing-current to lag behind its voltage, with the result that the windings 12, 13 assist each other, and the relay 11 moves the sequence switch into its next position in which the ringing-current is disconnected.
