Title: Improvements in Machinery for Assembling and Wrapping Coins.
Inventor: GUNYON STEPHEN EDWARD
Filed: 1907-06-29
Granted: 1908-06-29
Abstract: 15,042. Gunyon, S. E., [Frey, A.]. June 29. Clutches ; toothed gearing.- In a machine for assembling together predetermined numbers of similar coins and wrapping them in paper, the coins are placed upon an inclined glass or other table C, Fig. 1, whence they slide under a gauge-bar 3, which stops coins which are too large or bent. The coins then slide along rabbeted bars 91, 94, until they fall into a transparent shoot 4, the bars 91,94 being so adjusted that coins which are too small fall between them. The coins pass under a hand-operated device 5, 6 for freeing any which are jammed, and then run between pieces 10, 11, Figs. 1 and 13, until they rest upon a spring plate 13. Each coin is pushed past the plate 13 by an oscillating arm 14. It is then forced to the right by an horizontally-reciprocating plunger 22, and, after passing a guide 35, falls upon an horizontal support 37. The spring-pressed piece 39 and the coins already resting on the supports 37 are pressed back to make room for the fresh coin by cam-operated pins 41, the upper one of which yields if struck by the entering coin. When the required number of coins have been deposited on the supports 37, a pair of adjustable cam-operated grippers mounted on the upper ends of swinging arms 130, Fig. 1, grip the ends of the pile of coins and carry them to wrapping-rollers 154, 154', 162, Fig. 5. The operation of the grippers is controlled by a change gear f, Fig. 1, so arranged that it can be shifted only at the conclusion of a cycle of the machine. The blocking-mechanism consists of a slide bar 300, which is operated by the handle 117 and has a number of notches s, one for each gear, adapted to receive a gapped annular projection 301 on the wheel 122. The bar 300, and hence also the handle 117, can be moved only when the gap in the projection 301 comes opposite the bar. Fig. 7 shows a clutch operated by the pivoted bar 24, Fig. 1, to cause the wheel 106 to make one revolution each time a coin enters an assembling-device. The wheel 106 has pivoted in it a pawl 108 carrying a pin 111 adapted to engage an annular groove in a piece 109. When the bar 31 is pushed inwards owing to a coin lifting the bar 24, Fig. 1, the recession of the projection 113 from the pins 11 allows the pawl 108 to engage a tooth 105 fast on the rotating shaft G. When the wheel 106 has made one revolution, the pin again encounters the projection 113 and disengages the pawl 108.

Granted: 1908-07-09
Abstract: 2796. Foster, B. E. Feb. 7. [Cognate Application No. 5321, A.D. 1908, dated March 9.] Boxing.-In the manufacture of elastic fillings for boxiug-gloves &c. from an aerated mixture of gelatine, glycerine, and a coagulating-agent, the last named is mixed with an absorbent material such as kieselguhr to delay its action until the mixture has been well aerated. The formation of bubbles is assisted by adding a fine material such as zinc oxide or flowers of sulphur. The tanning or coagulating agents used may be one or more of the following, viz. :-pyrogallol, glycine, meta- or paraphenylenediamine, hydroquinone, pyrocatechin, paramidophenol, diamidophenol chloride, diamidoresorcin chloride, metoquinone, adurol, eikonogen, metol, gallic or tannic acid, a- and #-napthol, resorcinol, phloroglucin, and dioxy-naphthalin. A mixture of glycerine and gelatine heated to 158‹ F. is stirred for 1 to 2 hours to form bubbles. The mixture is then transferred to the foam-beating boiler where after adding the tanuing-agent it is formed into a foam preferably at a high temperature and under high pressure as described in Specification No. 3314, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class India-rubber &c.]. The tanning action may be promoted by the addition of alkalies or bromine or by increasing the oxygen content of the air injected.

Title: Preventing Accidents to Life and Property caused by the Falling of Ærial Wires Carrying High Tension Electrical Currents.
Inventor: GHADIALI DINSHAH PESTANJI FRAM
Filed: 1908-08-04
Granted: 1909-04-15
Abstract: 16,415. Ghadiall, D. P. F. Aug. 4. Cut-outs; switches; distributing.-Consists in operating a cut-out for an electric main by means of a current induced in a secondary wire by the cessation of the current in the main, due to breakage &c. A small current passes continuously from the end of the main M remote from the supply D to earth at B, through a high-resistance circuit containing an indicator G, a key switch T, and the primary P of an induction coil. The secondary S of the induction coil is connected through switch contacts Y<4> to a pilot wire W (which may be the guard wire of the main M according to the Provisional Specification), and then to earth through the quickacting tripping-magnet L and the slow-acting resetting-solenoid N of a cut-out H<1>, I at the supply end D of the main M. As long as current passes through the main M and coil P, the armature X is held down by the electro-magnetic action of the core of the induction coil P, and keeps the contacts Y' closed, but no current flows through the secondary coil S. When the wire M breaks, the current in the primary coil P fails, causing an induced current in the secondary coil S, which operates through the trip magnet L to open the main switch H<1>, I. The contacts Y<4> in the circuit of the coils S, L are maintained closed for a sufficient time after the release of the armature X by the action of a dash-pot Z. The opening of the switch H<1>, I causes a weight H to close contacts V, thus completing a circuit through the indicator G<2>, alarm bell U, and alarm lamp O<2> at the supply end, the remote indicator G also announcing the break. To re-set the switch H<1>, I, after the line M has been repaired, the key switch T is held open and a current is sent through the wire W from a magneto K<1> by way of contacts Y<2>, Y<3>, which have been closed by the release of the armature X. This current energizes the magnet L, drawing down the lever A, and also the solenoid N, the piston-like cores of which are drawn in slowly, pulling up an arm by means of a chain C', and closing the main switch H<1>, I. A lamp O<1> at the distant end indicates the completion of the circuit and the switch T may then be released to establish circuit from the main M through the primary coil P. If the dynamo D or other source of supply should fail, or if an overload or like cut-out inserted in the supply-end before it branches into the circuits F, G<2> should act, the switch H<1>, I will be tripped as before, and the remote galvanometer G will indicate the failure, but the galvanometer G<2>, alarm U, and lamp O<2>, at the supply end D will not act, thus indicating that the dynamo &c. and not the main has broken down.

Granted: 1910-09-07
Abstract: 20,458. Notcutt, W. P. Sept. 7. Files. - Relates to files of the class in which the teeth are formed in arcs of circles extending across the face of the file, and consists in striking alternate teeth from centres disposed upon opposite sides of the centre line of the file so that they are inclined in opposite directions or in zigzag form, whereby the cutting effect of the file for softer materials and metals such as lead is improved. The teeth b on the file a are struck alternately from centres on the lines y-y, z-z, on opposite sides of the centre line x-x of the file, and may merge into each other at their adjacent points c, as shown in Fig. 1, or remain separate throughout their length. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the centres of the teeth d are disposed alternately on the centre line x-x of the file and the line z<1>-z<1> to one side of it. In other instances, the centres of the teeth may be disposed upon lines outside the width of the file, or in any other manner such that the zigzag arrangement is preserved. The curves of one or both series may be struck from centres common to such series. An additional tendency to clear itself of shavings is obtained by cutting the teeth of the file deeper on one side alternately.
