Title: Process and Apparatus for Making Mica Sheets.
IPC: C04B14/20
Filed: 1913-07-05
Granted: 1913-12-18
Abstract: 15,568. Meirowsky & Co. July 22, 1912, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Mica.-Split mica is separated into flakes for making mica sheets by placing it in a rotating drum-like sieve which carries up the lumps and allows them to fall through the air to the lower part of the sieve. When the flakes are sufficiently separated, they pass through the meshes of the sieve on to a finely perforated carrier band, and thence to an adhesive backing, or they may fall direct on to a travelling backing. In the latter case, dust is removed by a preliminary treatment.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Forwarding and Recording Alarm Signals.
Inventor: SYMES HENRY
IPC: H04M11/04
Filed: 1913-10-07
Granted: 1915-04-15
Abstract: 22,614. Symes, H. Oct. 7. Fire alarm systems; falling-flap indicators.- Relates to means for signalling electrically at a fire station &c., either by an audible or visible signal or both, the alarm signal being sent from a street fire call, or from a house by means of the telephone through the ordinary exchange or automatically. In all cases, the electric impulse received at the fire station &c. actuates a switch in a relay circuit containing an electromagnet operating a catch supporting a water tank. The impulse received over the telephone wires A or the wires A' from the house or the street call actuates the electro-magnet X and drop-shutter A<4> to liberate the contact-piece A<5> in the relay circuit A<7> and thus energize the electro-magnet B. The hook E is then liberated and the water tank E' falls, pulling by a cord Y the piece E<5> connected to a steam whistle E<3>. The tank slides on a slotted pipe F and in its lower position, in which it is temporarily locked by a catch G, empties through a slot F<1>. The fall of the tank also allows the weight K to fall and by a cord to raise the contact-piece A<5>. The emptying of the tank ultimately brings down, by means of a float L and a rod, the contact-piece L<1> upon the terminals L<2> thus again energizing the electro-magnet B withdrawing the catch G and allowing the empty tank to be pulled up by the spring E<4>. The piece E<5> on its return to the right operates by a hook E<6> a catch H attached to the valve H<1> for filling the tank. The valve is reseated by the ball float lever Z and catch J. The push of the fire call operates a train of wheels of which one wheel has a number of projections corresponding to the number of the district. The Figure shows the wheel O<1> with three projections which cause three impulses to be sent along the wires A<1> so as to move the index finger on the dial N to the figure 3 as shown. The automatic means abovementioned consists of a wire &c. A<2> carried round the room and connected at one end to a mercury cup Q and at the other to a drum P<2> on a bell-crank lever P, P', the drum being adjustable on the arm P and the wire A<2> adjustable in notches on the arm P<1>. The stretching of the wire &c. due to overheating allows a terminal on the drum to drop into the mercury cup Q. A second electro - magnet may be placed in the circuit A<1> to operate a switch in a relay circuit operating another whistle or other alarm.

Title: Method of Forming Sheet Metals into Rods or Supports and Products thereby Obtained.
Inventor: SONNIER JEAN ERNEST
IPC: B21C37/15
Filed: 1913-11-05
Granted: 1914-04-09
Abstract: 25,285. Sonnier, J. E. May 7, [Convention date]. [Addition to 25,190/13.] Columns.-In making twisted supports or columns from sheet metal by beading the edges and then twisting the metal as described in the parent Specification, the articles are formed with three or four strands in the stem. When there are three strands the beadings on the edges of the work are made on the same face, and the intervening metal is bent to form the third strand as shown in Fig. 2. When there are four strands the beads are formed on opposite faces as described in the parent Specification and three separate sheets are used, one of which acts as a clamp for the other two as shown in Fig. 4. The separate sheets may be of different metals so as to form a column of several colours.

Title: Improvements relating to Letter Files.
Inventor: ROCK FRIEDRICH
IPC: B42F13/28
Filed: 1913-11-10
Granted: 1915-07-01
Abstract: 25,615. Rock, F. June 23, [Convention date]. Post, claw, and like files.-Relates to letterfiles of the type in which the filing-arches are connected to a hinge member capable of movement in a direction perpendicular to the back of the file. According to the invention, the movement of the hinge wings by which the filing-arches are carried moves the main hinge joint only to a degree necessary to expand, but not to open the arches, the extent of the movement being limited by means of a stop in the path of the hinge joint. In the construction shown in Fig. 5, with the arches in the expanded position, the arches e, f are mounted on hinge wings d and are hinged about a joint k movable in L-shaped slots or guides l in two plates c attached to the back of the file. The hinge member is in the form of an arched frame m, Fig. 3, having bends n which are arranged to contact with the stop-portions o of the guides l, so as to allow the expansion, but not the opening of the arches e, f. The arches are opened by pushing aside the frame m against the action of a spring t so as to cause the bends n to pass along the horizontal portions p of the guides l, the hinge joint k moving further upwards in the vertical portions. The wings d are supported on pivoted members h by means of hinge pins g. According to modifications, the members h may be dispensed with, in which case the wings d are mounted by means of pins working in slots in the plates c; or the L-shaped guides may be replaced by straight slots having stops or striking-surfaces at their open upper ends.

Title: Improvements in Poultry Nests.
Inventor: CHISHOLM WILLIAM OLIVER
IPC: A01K31/16
Filed: 1914-02-20
Granted: 1914-12-03
Abstract: 4372. Chisholm, W. O. Feb. 20. Nests. - An egg-collecting device for use with poultry nests is constructed so that the eggs, as they pass from the nest, enter compartments which are closed automatically. The collector consists of a long box A divided by crosspartitions 37 into compartments 36 provided with trap-doors 38 at the top. Each door may be composed of two parts, a wire frame 38<a> and a door covered with flannel &c. Two pieces 39, 40 of flannel &c. are secured at one end to the frame 38<a> and at the other end to the top of the compartment and to the trap-door respectively. When open, the doors rest with a slight backward inclination against stops 9. The egg laid in the nest 14 passes down between cross-tapes covering the opening of the nest into a shoot consisting of an inclined frame with a series of parallel tapes 17. The first egg falls, into the flannel strip 39 bridging the opening of the first compartment of the collector, and 'automatically closes the door 38<a>. The next egg falls on to the flannel strip 40 and closes the door 38, so that the first two eggs are lodged in the first compartment of the box. In the same manner, the subsequent compartments are filled, the doors when closed forming the bottom of a runway for the eggs. Funnels or inclines may lead from two or more nests to a single collecting-apparatus. The collecting-apparatus is shown in connexion with a trap-nest of the kind described in Specification 27,897/13 in which a hen on entering the nesting-chamber 4 steps on a platform 5 and thereby operates a cord 6 to close the inlet door 7. As the egg rolls down the tapes 17, it strikes against a flap 18, thereby releasing the catch 25 of a swing door 26 adapted to open and close doorways leading to chambers for the laying and non-laying hens as described in the above-mentioned Specification.
