Abstract: 12,869. Goehring, C. L. June 7. Bevelling; surfacing and polishing ; tools, construction of.-Glass plates are ground in the apparatus shown in elevation in Fig. 1. The plate G, Fig. 1, to be bevelled is pressed down upon a pad G<1> on the bed F by clamping-plates M, Fig. 3, loosely pivoted to the ends of a lever L, Figs. 1 and 3, centrally pivoted to the slide I, which may be raised and lowered by turning the hand-wheel K<5> on the shaft K<4>. This shaft carries a worm gearing with the wheel K<2> fixed to the pinion K gearing with the slide I. The plate G is adjusted by gauge arms G<7> carried by a rock-shaft G<8> provided with an arm G<4> bearing against an adjustable stop G<5>. The arms G<7> are pressed down by an adjustable spring and may be raised by a hand-bar H connected to an arm on the rock-shaft G<8>. The framework G<2>, G<3> for the clamping and adjusting mechanism is carried by the bed F. The bed F is pivoted on the shaft I at the outer edge of the bevel or, in the preferred arrangement, at its inner edge, as shown in Fig. 1<A>, and is supported by a screw F<2> adjustable by the hand-wheel F<3> so as to regulate in the latter case the depth of the bevel. This depth may be indicated by the gauge p<2>, Fig. 3. The screw F<2> takes into a bar connecting two Y-shaped, counterbalanced pieces forming the frame D. The frame is mounted on a shaft D' which may be adjusted vertically by turning a shaft E<3> connected by bevel gearing to screws E supporting the bearings of the shaft D'. The bearings of the shaft I are adjustable in the arm d of the frame D or in the arms of the bed F or in both. The axis of the shaft I is adjustable in the plane of the glass and in the direction of the width of the bevel. A graduated scale and pointer 8 are provided for indicating the width of the bevel. The frame D may be rocked on the shaft D<1> by a hand-lever Q connected by a link Q<1> to an arm. The position of this arm and of the frame, and thus the extent of bevelling, is determined by the graduated cam P. The grinding-block with a plane face has a motion in which every point describes a circle of the same size. This motion is imparted by cranks such as R<3>, Fig. 1, and S, S<6>, Fig. 6, which engage with the frame C<1> of the grinding-table. The crank S<6> is a driving-crank on the shaft S<4> provided with a pulley S<5>, and the cranks S are guiding-cranks carried by shafts S<2>. The shafts S<4>, S<2> may be connected by spur gearing as shown in Fig. 1. Ball bearings may be introduced in various ways. Sand or emery &c. passes from a receiver C<3>, Fig. 1, attached to the walls C<2> of the frame C', and the used-up material falls into a reservoir C<4>. Fig. 14 shows a polishing-block in which raw hide or the like U<1> is stretched by a roller held by a ratchet-wheel U<3> and a pawl.

Patent GB-190608116-A (GB)
Title: Improved Annunciator for Cars.
Inventor: EUBANK REUBEN BLAKEY
Filed: 1906-04-04
Granted: 1906-08-30
Abstract: 8116. Eubank, R. B. April 4. Indicators or annunciators ; indicators, station, stopping-place, and like.-A station indicator consists of a band 19, bearing the necessary information, wound upon rollers 3, 4 on shafts 5, 6. One end of the upper roller carries four symmetrically - placed studs 20, which are successively engaged and driven by a hook 23 pivoted to a bell-crank lever 21, which is operated by a pull-bar 25 at the stations. A detent 27 is normally held by the end 26 of the hook 23, so that its shoulders 32, 33 are out of engagement with the studs 20, and a brake 31 upon a piece 30 is in contact with the roller 4. When the bar 25 is pulled, the hook 23 drives the roller 4 a quarter-revolution, the detent 27 being thereby released, so that its spring 34 brings it into engagement with two of the studs 20, thus limiting the motion of the band, and at the same time removing the brake. When the bar 25 is released, the spring 40 returns the mechanism to its original position. At each actuation of the roller 4, the end 22 of the lever 21 pushes the piece 37 out of its way, thus compressing a spring 39, which, when the piece 37 is free of the end 22, urges the hammer 38 against the bell 36, thus calling attention to the changed indication. At their opposite ends the rollers 3, 4 carry sprocketwheels 8, 16, connected by a chain 17. The lower wheel 8 is loose on its axle, and has a detent 9 which is kept in contact with a notch in the shaft by a spring 11. The notch has a steep side 12 and a slightly inclined side 13, so that the wheel and shaft revolve together in one direction but not in the other. The band is wound upon the lower roller by a key engaging the axle 5, and the hub of the wheel 8 is provided with lugs 14, so that it may be rotated by another key, in order to adjust the tension of a spring 18 upon the roller 4. This spring allows the rollers to turn variable distances when they contain different thicknesses of band. A plate 42 keeps the displayed part of the band straight, and strengthens the case 1, and a sign 43 bearing the words " The next station is " is attached to the case above the window 2.
