Title: Improvements in or relating to Sculptor's Copying Machines.
Inventor: HUNDRIESER HANS
IPC: B44B1/04
Filed: 1911-12-28
Granted: 1912-12-23
Abstract: 29,233. Hundrieser, H. Dec. 28. Copying and carving. -In a sculptor's copying-machine, a carriage b<1>, movable on a bed 16, pivotally carries a standard b in which a column c is angularly adjustable by worm gearing a<1>, a<2>; the column carries a longitudinally and rotatably adjustable clamping- tube m integral with or pivoted to a tube l, in which is rotatably and longitudinally adjustable a cross-bar k carrying adjustable sleeves i; to these are pivoted clamping-supports g in which arms e, f, carrying tools p and feelers o, are longitudinally and rotatably adjustable. When in operation, the rotary movements of the arms e, f, the clamping-supports g, the cross-bar k, and the column c are employed (though when desired any of these movements may be suspended), the remaining movements being prevented after adjustment by means of clamping-ears on the sleeves and tubes, and clamping-rings on the column, cross-bar, and arms. Bars q, r ensure similar rotation of the arms e, f. To obtain enlarged or reduced copies, a third arm 27, with similar adjustments, is provided and is connected to arms e, f by bars 31, n, t, q<1>, r<1> so as to move with them. Two tools p may be provided, one of them being carried by a bracket W<2>, Fig. 5, so as to be pivotally adjustable about the other tool from which it is driven by bevel-gearing y; two feelers are similarly arranged. The work and model are carried on pivotally adjustable plates 22 on tables 20 which, by means of racks 10 and pinions 21, are movable vertically in sockets 19 adapted to slide on guides 18 which slide on beds 17 parallel to the bed 16. Two pairs of tables 20 may be provided, and after completion of work on one pair, the copying-mechanism may be swung round the column c to work on the other pair from a fresh model. By arranging superposed cross-bars k carrying interconnected arms, a number of copies of different sizes may be obtained from one model; or the same result may be obtained by a single cross-bar k inclined to the column c and carrying several arms. Several tools may be carried by one arm and rotated by a single belt passing over a pulley on each tool-shaft. The column may be adapted to be held in any desired position by means of springs engaging the posts of the standard b; brakes may act on the springs to vary the pressure.

Granted: 1913-01-01
Abstract: 191277. Edgar, H. Jan. 1. Percussive drills. - Relates to a rock drill of the type in which a double-headed piston is reciprocated in a cylinder having a fixed partition, the motive fluid being conveyed to and exhausted from the chambers on both sides of the partition between the partition and the piston heads. The drill bit 26 is secured to the piston by means of bevelled keys 29, 30, which are pressed outwards by springs 31, 32, and its end receives a conical plug 35 on one end of a pipe 24, which is carried by the piston and has a piston head 25 moving in the twist bar 15. To take away the bit 26, the cylinder cover 8 is removed. In operation, as the piston reciprocates, the pipe 24 draws water through a passage 18 past a ball 20 and then forces the water out through the bit 26. The drill is fed forwards by a screw 37 engaging a nut 39 in the cradle 40.

Abstract: 4843. Ricks, A. June 13, 1911, [Convention date]. Electrodes for lead accumulators. A binding- material for a mixture of electrolytic lead with oxides, powdered lead, or other lead preparations consists of protein, albumen, or the like, together with a hardening-agent such as phenol, pyridine, or salicylic acid, forming basic lead compounds. Preferably the electrolytic lead consists of small curly crystalline scales obtained by depositing thin sheets on lead plates from the acetate or nitrate, cleaning these with steam or distilled water, drying, removing them from the lead plates, and disintegrating in a cylindrical sieve. Disintegrated glass - wool fibres 3-15 mm. long may be added. A mixture of lead oxides or powder with 3-10 per cent of the lead scales and 0À5-1 per cent of glass-wool may be made into a paste with dilute sulphuric acid which has been stirred with 0À5-1 per cent of albumen and 1-1À5 per cent of phenol. The addition of mercury sulphate to the lead scales increases their capacity but reduces their durability.

Title: Improvements in Means for Operating the Gates of the Well Openings of Lifts.
Inventor: SKELTON HARRY
IPC: B66B13/10
Filed: 1913-01-29
Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 2355. Skelton, H., and Skelton, F. Jan. 29. Lift doors, locking, unlocking, and operating. -Means for operating gates of lift wells comprises a weight connected to the gate, so as automatically to open the gate after it is released, and provided with a sliding bolt which is moved into and withdrawn from the path of the cage by the movement of the weight. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the gate 1 is connected by a cord 3 to the weight 5 which moves between guides 6. The weight 5 carries a sliding bolt 10 having a roller 12 at one end. When the weight arrives at the bottom of its travel on the gate opening, the roller 12 contacts with a fixed incline 11 and the bolt is slid outward to lie in the path of a projection 13 on the cage near the bottom. When the cage is started upwards, the projection 13 engages the weight and moves it upwards, allowing the gate to fall, the bolt being slid back to allow the projection 13 to pass on the roller 12 engaging a fixed incline 14. To provide for closing of the gate when the cage moves downwards, a second weight 17 moving in guides 18 is connected by a cord 15 to the first weight and is arranged to be at the top of its travel when the weight 5 is at the bottom of its travel. A similar bolt 19 is fitted to this weight and engages fixed inclines 20, 21 to move it into and out of the path of a projection 23 on the cage near its top. The projections 13, 23 are pivoted to the cage and may move in one direction only against the influence of a spring. On its downward movement, the cage carries the weight 17 with it, and raises the weight 5, allowing the gate to close. The gate may be balanced, and the weight 5 made only sufficiently heavy to overcome the weight 17 and friction of gate. The gate is fitted with a spring bolt 7 which springs into a recess on the gate closing, and is released by hand. An ordinary automatic lock 24 operated by the cage is also fitted. Fig. 6 shows the invention applied to a horizontallysliding collapsible gate. In this case, the cord 3 is attached to one end of a curved lever 26, the other end of which moves in a slot in the front picket of the gate. A weight 27 is attached to the end of the lever so as to close the gate when the weight 5 is being raised. A suitable form of spring bolt 7 which engages a recess in a stationary lifter 28 is shown in Fig 7. It may be operated from either side of the gate by handles 34. An automatic locking-catch 29 operated by a cam 33 on the cage is also shown.
