Title: Improvements in and relating to Razor Stropping Devices.
Inventor: HEISSENBERGER JOHN
IPC: B24D15/08
Filed: 1909-09-17
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 21,273. Heissenberger, J. Sept. 17. Stropping - apparatus.-A device for stropping razors is constructed with a frame A, in which are pivoted a semi-cyliodrical bar B and a blade-holder C, the bar B being provided with a crank-pin B<4>, and the blade-holder with a crank-pin C<3>, which pins engage in slotsin a lever G pivoted to the outside of the frame. The strop is passed over the bar B, and, while being reciprocated causes'the bar to rock the blade-holder and present the appropriate side of the razor-blade edge to the strop. To the base of the blade-holder is screwed a flat spring F, which bears on lugs A<5>, A<6> in the frame A, and tends to keep the blade-holder in a central position. Within the blade-holder is a device, Fig. 6, for retaining the blade in the holder, which consists of a base J, to which is pivoted, by links J<3>, J<4>, a spring-pressed bar J<5> which is provided with a thumb-screw J<2>, passing through a guidepiece J<1> in the frame A, by means of which the bar J<5> may be drawn towards the base J to allow the insertion of a blade, and then allowed to press up to the blade and hold it in position under the influence of the spring J<8>. The strop K, Fig. 3, passes over rollers E at the points where it is engaged by the blade edge and between rollers H<1> at a lower point of the frame ; between the rollers H<1>, and slidable laterally in the frame A, is a roller D which, on one side of the strop being pulled, thrusts the other side of the strop out of contact with the blade-edge, and obviates cuttiog of the strop. The holder C and the rcllers E may be set at an angle in the frame A.

Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 10,965. Graham, E. A. May 3. Microphones; telephones; direct-call systems.- In loud-spealcing telephone apparatus, the operation of the switch for the calling and talking contacts is arranged to actuate a pivoted plate which normally covers the mouthpiece, and also to rotate the back electrode. When the switch k is actuated, the plate j is rotated and brings a grating opposite the mouthpiece orifice. The switch also actuates the arm 7 and causes the pawl v to drive the ratchet u which is mounted on the axis of the back electrode. The electrode thus rotates in only one direction. The receiver is similar to that described in Specification 25,112/09. The apparatus is arranged in a direct-call system as in Specification 10,577/10 in such a manner that a call can be made by voice or by a vibrator. Specifications 11,808/07 and 8024/10 are also referred to.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Discharging or Ejecting Ashes, Clinkers, or other Refuse.
IPC: B63B17/06
Filed: 1910-08-22
Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 19,626. Stone & Co., J., and Parsons, W. S. Aug. 22. Conveyer apparatus, ejector; regulating or controlling action.-Relates to improvements in apparatus for discharging ashes &c. from ships, of the type comprising a hopper opening into a water circulatory system operated by an ejector, and of the kind in which means are provided for automatically controlling the hopper valve. A centrifugal pump delivers water to an ejector consisting of the contracted nozzle s of a pipe n opening into the space t below the hopper a, and, on the other side of the casing r, a nozzle u of opposite taper through which the ashes and water are discharged into the sea. The hopper is preferably situated beneath the stokehold floor. The nozzle u is fitted with a cone leaving an annular space v communicating bv a pipe w with the cylinder x, the other end of which is open to the atmosphere. The hopper-valve spindle 1 carries pistons y, 3, by which it is actuated. The outer face of the piston 3 is in communication with the sea, and normally keeps the valve 2 closed. When the pump of the circulatory system is started, the water passing through the nozzles s, u causes a reduction in pressure in the annular space v, and permits the valve 2 to open, admitting the ashes to the circulatory system. In a modification, the discharge from the hopper takes place into the centre of the stream of the circulating water. A sparge pipe 12 is fitted adjacent to the valve 2. The engine for driving the centrifugal pump is controlled by an hydraulic governor subject to variations of pressure in the circulatory system.

A second cone r<1> is fixed to the shaft, and both cones a r e adapted to engage with a double-conical member s carried by the hub of the driven member g. The cones r, r<1> are forced apart by a number of springs v mounted by means of screws w by which their tension is adjusted. To release the clutch, the cone r is moved to the right by a rod p and ring x, the wheel g moves sufficiently to allow it to disengage from the cone r<1>, while the cone r moves further still and also disengages from the member s. A modification is described in which the driving and driven members are each formed with a single cone and are engaged by the pressure of a single spiral spring.
