Inventor: PRIEM PAUL
IPC: D21F1/00
Filed: 1910-09-26
Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 22,312. Priem, P. Sept. 26. Tilting and raising and lowering mechanism for wire - cloths; shaking - apparatus for wire-cloths.-In a longitudinal straining cloth paper-making machine, the cloth is adjusted to suitable inclination without the height of the breast-roll end of the cloth being altered. In Fig. 1 the suction part b is maintained at a constant inclination, being mounted on telescopically extensible standards l operated through rack-and-pinion gearing by a crank k, and the shake-frame a is supported on girders c pivoted at e and connected to the suction part by an arm h. The suction part is inclined at the maximum inclination of the shaking part. The suction part and shaking part may be both mounted on the girders, and the whole adjusted by means of a screwed spindle and worm-wheel mechanism at the free end. The straining-cloth may be carried by girders above it, and the rollers and the suction boxes may be supported on the rails themselves, struts or a truss frame being used for stiffening. The shake-frame is supported from the girders above it by flexible steel bands to allow of the necessary shaking motion.

The end strips are marked with the numbers 1 ... 9, and, to shut out the rows of numbers next the one under consideration, a cursor C is provided. The reading is taken from right to left, and the figures between the diagonal lines are added together. Above each strip is a hole D in the framework, into which a pointer E is inserted to indicate the decimal point.

Abstract: 27,628. Beste, W. F. May 29, 1911. Pivot adjustments. - In hinges of the kind in which a concave friction piece is adapted to grip the hinge socket to hold the hinge in various positions, the device for actuating the friction piece is located in a channel extending longitudinally of the friction piece, and is arranged to bear upon the channel bottom for its entire length. As applied to a wind screen for a motorcar, the screen P is carried by a hinge socket B rotatable upon a fixed pin A, and is locked by a serrated friction block D which is forced against the serrated outer surface of the socket B by means of an eccentric E provided with an operating-handle F. The block D and eccentric E are located in a channel H fixed to the car, and the eccentric is shaped as shown at J, Fig. 1, so that it always contacts with the bottom of the channel. The eccentric may be replaced by a longitudinally movable wedge-bar N, Fig. 4, engaging corresponding wedges on the block D, and operated by nut, cone, or eccentric placed transversely at one end. The screen may consist of two independently adjustable portions P', P<2>, both controlled from one end of the channel H.

Abstract: 3636. Fear, F. J. W. Feb. 13. Scissors, shears, and like shearing-instruments. - Relates to scissors, shears, &c. for thinning grapes, cutting flowers, pruning, and surgical purposes, and in which one cutting- blade has a fixed gripping - member and the other blade has a resilient gripping-member for retaining stalks or other objects as they are cut. The resilient member consists of a blade spring, the gripping-part of which has a free end while the other end is screwed upon the blade or a part thereof. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the spring 2 is attached to the face of the blade 1, and the gripping- part 4 conforms to the contour of the cutting- edge; the other blade 5 has a concave wall 6 projecting beyond the cutting-edge 7. In a modification, Fig. 4, the spring 9 is fastened at one end by a pin 10, and passes over the head of the pivot pin 11 and beneath a projecting screw pin 12. In another form, the inner end of the spring is fixed in a recess in the blade, the spring lying along the face of the blade at an angle so that its outer end is first engaged by the end of the opposing blade. A projection on the end of the spring prevents anything from getting between the spring and the point of the blade. In a further modification, the spring is fastened to the stem of the handle of one blade by a clip, and the opposing blade has a flat projecting wall at right-angles to the blade face and parallel with the spring.

Abstract: 6962. Visser, A., Goede, J. H. de, and Veen, J. de. March 21. Driving and transmission mechanism, special applications of.-In an arrangement for driving a dynamo by water currents, means are provided for automatically obtaining a unidirectional drive from tidal or other waters flowing in opposite directions. A. paddle-wheel a is mounted on springs on two boats k united by cross-beams, and it drives through a gear train c, f a fly-wheel i, from which the dynamo l is driven bv a belt. In the case of water currents of alternating direction, the gear shown in Fig. 4 is interposed between the fly-wheel and the dynamo. A rocking arm m, having a submerged paddle at its lower end, controls a slide q, which carries two shafts s, t geared together by chain-wheels u, u<1> and carrying friction wheels w, w<1>, respectively, adapted to engage the inner or outer surface of a wheel x, according to the position of the slide as controlled by the paddle and tide. A pulley v on the shaft t is connected by a belt to the fly-wheel i, Fig. 1, and the dynamo is connected by a belt to a pulley on the shaft z of the wheel x. Reversal of the water current thus reverses the rotation of the paddle-wheel and throws over the slide; thereby maintaining the rotation of the shaft z and the dynamo in the same direction.
