Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 5859. Vandatte, B., and Lagye, B. March 11. Wool, treating; rakeconveyer apparatus.- In apparatus for electrolytically removing grease and yolk from wool during its passage through a vat, the current is led to the wool by means of rakes attached to arms 11, which are reciprocated by cranks so that the rakes move the wool a l o n g the vat. The teeth 15, Fig. 4, of the rakes are made of wood covered with lead, and a glass rod 19 may be fixed on the front edge so as to reduce friction. The teeth are fixed to a cross-piece 16, insulated from a cross - piece 17 on an arm by balls of insulating-material 18. The arms are carried by cranks on shafts 6, 7, and are guided by sleeves 13 pivoted on supports 14. Wool is immersed in the yolk water by a plunger 2, and after treatment is lifted out by an elevator 3 on to an endless chain 4.

Abstract: 5958. Gibbs, F. I. Feb. 27, 1908. Moulds ; preparing surfaces ; removing deposits from surfaces ; metal articles bent to form after removal of moulds.-Tea and coffee pots, jugs, cups, plates, dishes, candlesticks, vases, and other hollow-ware are produced by electro-deposition on the prepared surface of a suitable non-porous non-metallic model, such as glass, pottery, ivory, celluloid, hard - wood, tortoiseshell, vulcanite, and jet, a rim being formed by continuing the prepared surface over the edge to a line 1. The model is broken away or removed after the electro-deposition. The rim 3 may be pressed together as shown in Fig. 4 or Fig. 4* or it may be filled in with metallic paste and subsequently electro-plated ; or it may be pressed together, over a wire, solder, or metal-strip filling. The foot of the vessel may be similarly formed with a channel rim 7, the opening 8 being then closed by a disk 9 soldered &c. thereto ; or the disk 9 may fit into the rim as at 10, Fig. 7, the rim being then closed upon it, after which the foot may be electro-plated to hide the join.

Abstract: 7792. Roots, J. D. April 1. Steering and balancing.-To maintain the lateral balance of an aeroplane machine, oppositely.disposed planes are adapted to be turned or flexed in opposite directions either automatically, as by a pendulum, or non-automatically. The planes may form part of a vertical rudder, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, or of front or rear horizontal planes, or may be independently mounted on the machine. The planes F, G, hinged at the rear corners of the rudder E, are turned in opposite directions by cords which pass over pulleys K on the rudder arms H, I. The middle of each cord is fixed to the pulley, and the two ends are connected to the two planes F, G on the same side. The pulleys K are adapted to be simultaneously rotated in opposite directions by a single operating-cord. It is stated in the Provisional Specification that, to assist this steering and balancing action, the propeller shaft may be flexibly connected to the motor so that the plane of action of the propeller may be varied, the shaft being mounted in a ball-andsocket bearing and a second bearing mounted in a slide. Or two propellers may be driven through balance gear so that one may be retarded and the other accelerated.

Title: A Cooking and Shaving Apparatus.
Inventor: FOWLER WILLIAM
IPC: A47J36/32
Filed: 1909-05-08
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 10,905. Fowler, W., and Fowler, M. May 8. Extinguishing wick burners.-The action of an electric clock effects the ignition of spiritlamps under a kettle and two saucepans; when the water in these vessels boils, the kettle is tipped to a teapot, and the saucepars, partly counterbalanced by the kettle, drop on their lamps, while a slide extinguishes the lamp under the kettle. When the water in the kettle boils, the hook 34, being borne by a plate 33, is shaken free from the catch 35, whereupon the kettle heels over to the teapot 51 and the sliding plate 40 trips the catch 23 that holds up the saucepans. As arms 36 of the shaft 21, from which the saucepans are hung, are connected by cords 65 to a spring-supported rest 55 for the kettle-spout, the saucepans sink gradually while the kettle is further tilted by the forked lever 28. As also the same arms 36 are connected by cords 37 to the lever stops for the match arms, these are allowed to swing clear of the lamps so that the saucepans may extinguish them. The depression of the spring rest by the kettle frees the slide 59, which extinguishes the lamp under the kettle and closes the switch 61 of an electric lamp 63. While these actions are taking place, a second alarm is sounded on a bell 43 by a clock-work 44, the bell and hammer 45 being set free by the retrocession of the sliding plate 40.

Sockets.-A socket for drill shanks &c. has means whereby the tool is gripped and released and also positively thrust towards and from the socket without interference with the natural centering. The tool 13 has the usual taper shank 11, and also has a circumferential groove 19 into which are adapted to engage the ends of the jaws 15 which are pressed into engagement by a screw ring 21 having a bevelled edge 27 engaging corresponding edges on the jaws. The ring 21 is adapted to screw on to a nut 25, which in turn can be screwed on to the end of the spindle. For engagement, the jaws 15 are first engaged by the screw ring 21 and the nut 25 is then rotated, thus causing the jaws to catch under the top edge of the groove in the tool and press it into the socket; for disengagement, the nut is unscrewed and the jaws pressing on the bottom edge of the groove force the tool outwards. To prevent the jaws from interfering with the centring, they are prevented from entirely filling the groove in the tool by a flange 35 on the nut engaging corresponding flanges 33 on the jaws.
