Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Fenders, Fender Curbs, Ash Pans and Dust Preventers.
Inventor: MORRIS WILLIAM EDWIN
Filed: 1907-11-01
Granted: 1908-11-02
Abstract: 24,147. Morris, W. E. Nov. 1. Making ash-pans, ashguards, and fenders for domestic hearths.- Fenders, fender curbs, ash-pans, and dust-preventers are manufactured from stamped or drawn sheet-metal blanks, shaped with projecting mouldings 10, Fig. 3, which are stamped, to form the rounded corners, between dies shaped so as to produce flutings in that portion of the metal set back beyond the moulding, in order that bursting and distortion of the latter at the corners may be prevented. In the manufacture of a fender from a flat sheet blank, notches 6, 7, not deeper than the width of the flange 9 to be afterwards formed, are first cut in one edge 5, Fig. 2, at the places intended for the corners. The blank is then troughed as at 10 and 11, Fig. 3, by ordinary tools. A wire is laid in the groove 11 and the edge 4 closed over it. The flange 9 may be fixed to the bottom plate when such is used. By dies 14, 15, Fig. 8, worked in a stamp or press, the troughed blank, Fig. 3, is bent to form the corners of the fender, and one or more (preferably three) vertical flutings 16, 17, 18, Fig. 5, are raised in the plain part of the blank, so gathering up the metal and preventing bursting and distortion of the moulding 10. Fender curbs, ash-pans, and dust-preventers are constructed in a similar manner, but in some cases the top edges are not wired, and in ash-pan fronts the ends make obtuse angles with the front. For some fenders, fender curbs, and ash-pans, sheet metal drawn to the required section may be used instead of plain blanks.

Title: Improvements in Syringes for Medical Purposes.
Inventor: CRISENBERRY BENJAMIN FRANK
Filed: 1907-11-05
Granted: 1908-01-09
Abstract: 24,492. Crisenberry, B. F. Nov. 5. Syringes.-Fig. 1 shows a partly sectional side view of a ball syringe, and Fig. 2 a cross-section of the nozzle. The detachable nozzle 4 is made of the form shown, and contains a valve 14 having a dome-shaped surface to facilitate introduction into cavities, and a perforated valve 15 which is loosely attached to the connecting-stem 13 by a screw 16 and is adapted to seat against the conical portion 8. Ribs 10 guard holes 9 in this portion 8 from being sealed by the tissue of the cavity treated, and the intermediate channels 12 lead the returning liquid to the holes. In use, when the bulb is compressed, the valve 15 seats itself and seals the holes 9, while the valve 14 is lifted and the liquid flows into the cavity. When the bulb is released, suction is set up so that the valve 14 closes and the holes 9 are uncovered ; the liquid therefore returns to the bulb by them and washes the sides of the cavity in its passage.

Title: An Improved Method of Producing a Homogenous Radiation through the Human Frame and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: DESSAUER FRIEDRICH
Filed: 1908-01-21
Granted: 1908-07-09
Abstract: 1430. Dessauer, F. Jan. 21. Drawings to Specification. R÷ntgen-ray and like apparatus.-To produce as far as possible an homogeneous radiation through the body, the source is placed at a distance, or several sources are used simultaneously, and filters that allow only rays of high penetrative power to pass are placed in their path. These highly penetrative rays, a large portion of which are secondary rays formed by the screen, are only slightly, but therefore homogeneously absorbed by the different materials of the body. The filtering-case may completely or partly enclose the body, and may be made of lead, glass, porcelain, carbon powder between double walls of wood &c., carbon compounds, water and other fluids, skin, &c. It is stated that when several, for example two, tubes of different hardness are to be operated simultaneously, valve apparatus is interpolated so that each tube receives " phases " in one direction only.

Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 3418. Wilkinson, R. H. Feb. 15. Brakes. - In a brake for tramway vehicles, actuated by a clutch on the axle, the free member of the clutch is formed of two or more segments 3, 4 loosely connected together by bolts 5, slotted links, &c. The segments are surrounded by two chains 7, which are either endless or connected to the blocks 3, 4 at suitable points. The chains pass over pulleys 9 at each side of the operating-lever 10, which is pivoted at 10<a> to the truck frame or motor casing. When the lever 10 is moved by the operating-chain 11, the chains 7 are tightened around the blocks, which then revolve along with the disk 1 and apply the brakes through the chain 12. The chains 7 move along with the blocks 3, 4, running freely over the pulleys 9 while still maintaining the tension on the blocks. A chain 16 connected to the block 4 and the lever 10 tends to relieve the tension on the chains 7 after the blocks have rotated sufficiently to apply the brakes. A fixed bracket 15 supports the lower block 4 when the chains 7 are slackened. In a modified arrangement, one of the pulleys 9, Fig. 4, is attached to the operating-rod 9 and guide-pulleys 9<a> are attached to the truck frame.

Abstract: 8606. Rau, H. April 20, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Sanding rails.- A pneumatic tracksander for locomotives &c. is constructed so as to enable the air and sand valves to be operated simultaneously, to enable the sanding-devices on opposite sides of locomotives &c. to be operated alike and in unison, and to prevent clogging of the sand. A casing 1 on each side of the boiler receives the screwed end of a pipe 2 from the sand-box, and has two air inlets 3, 4 and two sand outlets 6, 7, arranged as shown in Fig. 4, which supply sand to the front and rear of the driving-wheels respectively. Fitting closely within the chamber 8 of the casing 1 is a valve 9, provided with a circular base 10 having a hollow stem 11 fitted with a screw plug 13. A collar 16 screws over the lower end of the casing 1 and supports the valve 9. A segment gear 18, rigidly connected to the stem 11, has an arm 19 which is connected by a bar 20, Fig. 3, to a corresponding arm and rotating member on the opposite sanding- device. A lever 23 is pivoted on a boss 22 on the casing 1, and its lower end carries a segment 24 gearing with the segment 18, while its upper end is pivoted to an horizontal rod 27 which is pulled or pushed to operate the sanding-devices. The rotation of the segment 18 is limited by lugs 17, 21. The air inlets 3, 4 are provided with screwed valves 30, 40 respectively, each with a key 32, 42 operated from the lever 23 by arms 35, 45 and links 36, 46 respectively. Branch pipes 34, 44 supply air to the corresponding parts of the opposite sanding- device as shown in Fig. 3. When the arms 23, 35, 45 are vertical, the keys 32, 42 are closed, and the valve 9 closes both the sand outlets 6, 7; but when the rod 27 is pulled or pushed, one of the keys 32 or 42, and the corresponding sand outlet 6 or 7, are opened. In order to shut off the air supply, it is necessary to move the valve 9, and such movement stirs the sand in the chamber 8.

Title: Motor Driven Adding Machine.
Inventor: NIEMANN FREDERICK ADOLPH
Filed: 1908-07-21
Granted: 1909-07-21
Abstract: 15,492. Niemann, F. A. July 21. Clutches.-Relates to clutches and controlling- means therefor for use with calculating-machines driven from continuously running motors. A worm-wheel 27, Fig. 8, driven through a worm and a flexible coupling 22, carries internal teeth 38 and is loose on its shaft 28, to which are keyed the inner clutch member and the main operating- cam 67, Fig. 5. The clutch dog 39 bears in the inner member and has attached to it a lever 43, Fig. 2, with a spring 44 tending to throw the dog into gear, the dog being normally held out of action by a lever 49 engaging a shoulder on the dog lever 43. On depression of the operating-key stem 80, which engages a lever 77 fast on the tripshaft 59, the trip-arm 58 is disengaged from a shoulder 57 on the lever 49, which is then thrown outwards by a spring-controlled bent lever 52 pin- and-slot geared therewith, and the clutch is engaged by means of its spring. Immediately after starting, the inner clutch member resets the levers 49, 52, the latter engaging the cam-surface 56, Fig. 5, and the trip-shaft arms 58, 62, Fig. 2, of which the latter engages the cam-surface 64. The main operating-cam 67 actuates a lever 68 linked to a rocking arm 73, which has cheeks to engage a fork 95 fast on the operating-shaft 74 of the machine; this gear allows the machine to be manually operated. Actuation of the trip-shaft before complete operation of the machine is prevented by an arm 87 on the shaft engaging a pivoted stop 91, which is moved on the return of the fork 93 to the normal position. Actuation of the trip-shaft is also prevented, in cases where the machine is locked by the running-out of the paper supply in the printing-mechanism, by means of a projection 86 on such locking-means obstructing an aperture through which the bent end 82 on the trip-lever 77 is free to enter on normal accuation. A projection on the switch spindle is arranged to lock the trip-arm 77 when the motor is out of circuit. A projection 113, Fig. 13, on the totalizing-key stem interlocks with the projection 114 on the starting-key stem 80 unless the former is exactly in normal or acting position. To ensure stopping after one revolution, the clutch-dog lever 43 has an enlarged head 101 to engage the lever 49. To prevent the driven member from overrunning the outer member, a centrifugal clutch-dog 102 is provided. A spring-pressed brake block acts on an eccentric 97 on the main cam 80 so as to ease the return motion of the machine parts. A disk 112 on the worm shaft agitates the lubricant, and a screwed cover 111 gives access to the clutch.

IPC: D06F37/04
Filed: 1909-06-11
Granted: 1910-05-05
Abstract: 13,739. Symonds, H. June 11. [Cognate Application, 23,741/09.] Washing-machines with rocking receptacles.- A substantially cylindrical cage containing the clothes is adapted to be rocked within a casing which is shaped so as to cause the liquid at each oscillation to flow into the cage either through the sides or the top. As shown in Fig. 2, the cage A, eccentrically pivoted at C within the casing E, is oscillated by crank mechanism I connected to arms D attached to the cage. When the cage rocks to the left, the liquid between the cage and casing is forced upwards, and, being directed by a deflecting-plate Q, enters the cage through the opening S. The opposite side of the casing is shaped to allow only a slight clearance between the cage and casing when the former is rocked to the right, so that most of the liquid is forced through the side of the cage. In a modified construction, suitable for use when the clothes are to be boiled, the casing is shaped so as to conform to the cage in its extreme positions, the flaps are dispensed with, and the cage and casing are fitted with covers. A soap tank provided with a valve is mounted at one end of the machine, and the detergent, mixed with water, is supplied to a perforated pipe 0 extending along the base of the casing.
