Title: Improvements in Appliances for Sliding and other Window Sashes also in the Method and Means of Converting the same, into Revolving Sashes.
Inventor: ADAMS ROBERT
Filed: 1897-09-25
Granted: 1898-11-25
Abstract: 22,043. Adams, R. Sept. 25. Windows.-Relates to sliding window sashes which are capable of turning on horizontal or vertical pivots when desired. The stile of the sash is made in two parts, Fig. 3, the outer or slip 43 sliding in the frame, and having the inner or stile proper 42 connected to it by a pivot 45, which, when rotated, operates the tongue 47. This tongue may thus be advanced into a groove in the slip when rotation of the window is not desired, and then serves as a draught-excluder. In a modification, the sash rotates on a pivot fixed to the slip. The tongue in this case is connected by pins 59, Fig. 4, to two or more pivoted arms 52, by the motion of which it is advanced parallel to itself into its groove, projections 54 at the same time engaging with plates 56 to lock the slip and stile together. In another modification, the tongue is moved by screws which take into nuts fixed to the slip, and which eventually lock the slip and stile together. Or the tongue may be moved by a pointed tool inserted in the gap 57 in one of the arms 52. In the case of vertically-pivoted sashes, the socket 67, Fig. 18, may be pivoted so as to fold out of the way, and the pintle may be similarly treated. Spring catches for locking the slip and stile together are described. In the arrangement shown in vertical section in Fig. 26<c>, the tongue 91 on the stile engages with a metal plate 90 on the slip. When the sashes are without pivoted slips, they may be hinged to rods or folding pintles carried within a bead fixed to the pulley stile, the beads on the other side of the sash being hinged so as to fold out of the way when not required. The upper sash may be hung from the lower and both swung together. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 22, the upper sash 41 is supported on pivoted pintles 74 which may be swung out of the way when not in use. In a modification, the two sashes are connected by a strap of leather or the like. The parting bead 76, Fig. 25, may be attached to the pulley stile by clips 77. The cord is fixed to the sash by a barbed plate which penetrates the cord ; or the cord is let into a groove and secured by screws having long tapered ends. Draught - excluders.-For excluding draughts, double butt hinges for casements opening in either direction are provided with projections forming part of longitudinal tongues. The same object is attained by means of a tongue 82, Fig. 30, carried by horizontal dovetails in both the frame 20 and the casement 21 ; the locking- tongue 47, Fig. 3, also fulfils the same purpose

Abstract: 17,562. Wills, W. D. & H. O., [Bonsack Machine Co.]. Aug. 15. Cigarette - making machines.- Relates to the cutting-devices in continuous-rod cigarette - making machines, and to means for collecting the cigarettes without injury in receptacles for temporarily holding them. Fig. 1 shows a plan of the machine. The cigarette rod passes through the funnel 32, and is supported by the sockets 31, 35 while the knife 41 severs it. The main shaft 10 of the cigarette machine drives through toothed gearing a shaft 5 on which is keyed a cam-wheel 7 having a cam-groove 14 in its periphery and another in its end face. A stud working the groove 14 causes the reciprocation of the frame 39 in which the shaft 40 of the rotary knife is journalled. The frame during its forward movement travels with the speed of the cigarette, and the knife is then caused to sever the latter by means of the second cam-groove above referred to, which operates the arm 46 and pin 49 so as to turn the arm 50 about the shaft 23 and through the medium of the adjustable connection 52 throw tne irame 39 and knife 41 over towards the cigarette rod. The knife is driven by sprocket chain and belt gearing from the wheel 8. The devices for collecting the cigarettes are shown more clearly in Fig. 5. The cut cigarettes falling on the plate 78 are guided on to an endless rack 71 consisting of a belt bearing wedgeshaped projections on its surface and travelling at comparatively high speed. The swinging plates 92, 93 and brush 91 align the cigarettes so that they occupy the channels in the rack, and converging side plates 94 centre them before they reach the receptacle 98.
