Granted: 1908-02-20
Abstract: 25,277. Kearsey, F. W. Nov. 14. Extinguishing oil lamps; oil burners, preventing transmission of heat from; chimney holders.-To prevent explosions, lamps are constructed so that they are automatically extinguished when the lamp is tilted ; also the wick-tubes are lengthened, and a plentiful supply of air is ensured by mounting the burners above perforated plates so that little heat is transmitted from the burners to the reservoirs. In the form shown, the wick-tube 4 passes through a perforated plate 6 which is supported by a number of arms 5 secured to the plate 6 and the burner 3 by means of clips 7 or by soldering or the like. The arms 5 may be extended to form supports for the chimney. On the plate 6 is arranged an extinguisher 15 on an arm 16 pivoted to a pintle 13, Fig. 3, supported by a bracket 12 and yokes 14, 23, between which is arranged a bent spring 24 connected to the plate 6 by a staple and acting on an extension 17 of the arm 16. The end 18 of the extension 17 is normally held by the bent end 22 of a rod 19 on which a weight 20 is eccentrically mounted. The rod 12 is gripped to a flat side of the weight to prevent rotation thereof, and it is supported by a small coil 21 which permits the rod a universal motion ; when the lamp is tilted, the movement of the weight 20 and rod 19 releases the 'arm 16, which under the influence of the spring 24 actuates the extinguisher 15. The extinguishing- mechanism is protected by a hinged guard 9 kept in place by lugs on the plate 6.

Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: FELL JOHN CORRY
Filed: 1908-08-05
Granted: 1908-12-31
Abstract: 16,508. Fell, J. C., [Union Typewriter Co.]. Aug. 5. Typewriters. - Carriage-retarding mechanism is described as applied to a Monarch machine. Standards 4 on the top plate of the machine support grooved rails 5, 6 upon which the platen carriage 10 travels, a rack 20 supported by pivoted arms 19 on the carriage being pressed by springs 22 into mesh with a pinion 23, the rotation of which is controlled by an escapement comprising a wheel 25 and fixed and movable dogs 26, 27 on a rocker 28, 32 operated by the universal bar. A reverse-feed escapement may be used. Carried by arms 34 on the standards 4 is a stop-bar 35, supporting adjustable stops 46 and carrying an arm 36 linked by a rod 37 and lever 48 with a tabulator key-lever 53. Depression of the key rocks the stops 46 into the path of an arm 47 on the carriage 10 against the action of a spring 42 located between the frame 41 and a collar 38 on the rod 37. Movement of the rod 37 brings a lug on the collar 38 into engagement with a pivoted lever 60, 61, Fig. 2, which is thereby rocked against the action of a spring 64 so as to actuate a bell-crank lever 84, 85 provided with a roller 90. A block 72, pivoted upon pins 73 in a bracket 69 on the top plate 3, forms a bearing for a shaft 75, upon which are secured a pinion 76 and an arm 77 carrying a roller 82. Depression of the tabulating-key causes the lever 84, 85 to rock the block 72, thus bringing the pinion 76 into mesh with the rack 20 and releasing the rack from its escapement pinion 23. The carriage travels towards the left under the influence of its driving-spring and rotates the arm 77, the roller 82 upon which comes into contact with a pivoted arm 91. A spring 92, carried by a screw 94 provided with a lock-nut 95 for varying the tension, bears upon the arm 91 which normally rests upon a stud 96. The carriage 10 is intermittently retarded in its travel by the action of the roller 82 in lifting the arm 91. Upon release of the tabulating-key, the arm 77 falls by gravity into the position shown in Fig. 3. Several spring- pressed arms 91 or similar devices may co-operate successively with the roller 82.

Granted: 1909-08-19
Abstract: 17,433. Ling, A. R., Rendle, T., and Colbrook, E. W. Aug. 19. Ornamenting by photography; chromo-gelatine and like processes.-In the process of Specification No. 24,214, A.D. 1907, the amount of water added to keep the bichromate in solution was strictly limited, as any excess would precipitate the nitrocellulose. To avoid the use of water, a composition is used containing a bichromate, a soluble carbohydrate or glycerine, and collodion or like nitrocellulose solution, with a solvent of the bichromate and carbobydate miscible with the nitrocellulose solution. Suitable bichromates are those of the alkalies and alkaline-earth metals or of copper or iron, and suitable solvents are ethyl alcohol, or wood spirit mixed with ether or ethyl acetate. Polychromates and chromic acid are atternatives for the bichromates and glycerine for the carbohydrates. When chromic acid is used, glycerine or other difficultly oxidisable substance is employed instead of carbohydrates.

Abstract: 13,168. Anderson, N. H. June 5, 1908, [Convention date]. Letter-spacing mechanism. - In escapement mechanism of the kind described in Specification 10,775/09 comprising fast and loose dogs 5, 6, Figs. 1, 3, and 9, which engage an escapement wheel 7 and are mounted on a rocker 4 journaled on trunnions 3, the loose dog 6 is mounted to slide concentrically of the escapement-wheel shaft 8 and is provided with independent actuating-means. The loose dog is formed with concentric surfaces 24,25 engaging rollers 22, 23, 26, which are mounted on pins secured to the rocker 4 and a cap plate 11. The loose dog is positioned and arrested in its sliding movements by independent means consisting of a spring-pressed roller 35, which engages a camsurface 30 formed on the dog and having parts 33, 34 which merge into stop noses 31, 32. The roller 35 is carried by a plunger 36, which is mounted on the rocker in a casing 37. aud is pressed outwards by an adjustable spring 38. Normally the loose dog engages a tooth 44, and, when the rocker is operated, the fast dog engages the tooth, and the loose dog is released and is thereupon moved into the position shown in Fig. 9 by the pressure of the roller 35 on the cam-surface 30. When the rocker is again depressed, the next tooth 45 engages the loose dog and moves it back to the normal position, the wheel 8 thus making a onetooth movement forward. The loose dog is arrested gradually and silently by engagement of the roller 35 with the stop parts 33, 34, the movement of the dog being adjusted by varying the tension of the spring 38. The loose dog is formed with a bevelled lateral face 43 and a curved releaseing-edge 42, so that, during the release movement, the dog does not snap over the teeth 44, &c., but slides off gradually. The dog may be detached by pressing back the plunger 36. When the wheel 8 is rotated in the reverse direction for back-spacing, the loose dog is moved to the position shown in Fig. 9 and is then forced outwards, the dog pivoting about the roller 22 to clear the tooth 44 and then dropping back in front of the oncoming tooth. In the escapement shown in Fig. 17, the loose dog is formed with a concentric slot 47 and rides on rollers 22, 23 and is provided with a roller 51, which is engaged by a wiper cam 52 pivoted at 53 to the rocker. The cam is formed with stop curves 54, 55 and is pressed by a spring 56 ; this may be adjusted by means of a plate 57, which supports one end of the spring and has a slot adjustment 58.
