Abstract: 13,580. Wagoner, H. V. June 10. Clamping - devices; fastenings. - Clamping- devices for papers &c., of the kind described in Specification 15,698/07, in which the clamp 22 is held in engagement with the sheets by a spring 20 strained by a pressure-lever 28 or the like, are provided with a locking-device in the form of a sliding bar or plate arranged adjacent to the pivotal axis of the clamp. The pressurelever 28 is locked in the closed position by a projection 36 thereon engaging the edge of the locking-bar 30, but can be opened if the locking- bar is manipulated so that its notch 34 is engaged by the projection 36. The locking-bar may have a sloping or notched edge so that the clamp can be secured in a series of positions. In a modification a notched washer, secured to the pressure - lever or mounted upon a shaft rotated by the lever, engages a shoulder on the locking-bar. In another modification, the locking-bar is slotted, and is engaged by a curved pin carried by the rotating parts.

Inventor: PARK NEY PICKETT
IPC: G01B3/02

Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 18,391. Park, N. P., and Teasley, C. B. Aug. 3. Protractors &c.-A tool for setting-out the rafters of roofs &c. consists of a longitudinallyslotted body member 5 provided with pivoted blades 10, 16, 22, which are adjustably held at any required inclination by pivoted links secured by clamping-bolts 8 sliding in slots 7, 18 in the member 5. Each link is provided with an offset portion 23 to facilitate folding. One side of the member 5 is provided with scales 24, 25 for use with the blade 16, one of which represents the pitch or slope of common rafters, while the other represents the pitch or slope of hip and valley rafters, similar scales being formed on the member adjacent to each blade. The rear faces of the blades 10, 16 are provided with tabulated data. Thus it is seen, from the table in Fig. 5, that a roof having a rise of one in two and a, span of fourteen feet requires common rafters having a length of approximately nine feet eleven inches; a hip and valley rafter would be approximately twelve feet two inches in length. When the blades are at right-angles to the body, the tool may be used as a square.

Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 23,897. Conner, M. S., and Brooke, C. R. Oct. 15. Wire, covering by winding.-In stop-motions for wire covering or braiding machinery operating through the breakage of a thread, a dropbar is arranged so that friction on its guides due to centrifugal force is minimized. The thread A passing from a spool B to be wound on the wire at H normally supports a tripping-bar C clear of the stopping or tripping-gear. The ends C<1>, C<2> of the bar C may be thickened to resist wear and to add weight, and are arranged to be of about equal weight so that little friction is produced on the guide-posts F carried by the spool-carrier when the bar C falls as the result of a broken thread. A spring may assist the bar to fall quickly. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which only one end C' moves on a guidepost F, the other end being pivoted at a point L as far away from C' as possible.

Granted: 1911-07-20
Abstract: 30,000. Lanston Monotype Corporation, [Bancroft, J. S., and Indahl, M. C.]. Dec. 24. Strip-perforating machines. - Relates to multiplex composing - machines of the kind described in Specification 21,268/08, wherein two or more composing-units B, B<Î>, such as the perforating-units described in Specification 17,199/08, are controlled for simultaneous or single action from the same keyboard C, and consists in the provision of a valve, or, in the case of electric actuation, of a switch, for setting the cross - connexions. The perforating- units B, B<Î> are provided respectively, as described in the first-mentioned Specification, with lock-outs 19, 19<x>, which, when set, prevent actuation of the punches, the lock-out 19<Î> of the right - hand unit being connected by a pipe 21 to the justification - indicator valve 14 of the left-hand unit, and the lock-out 19 of the lefthand unit being similarly connected by a pipe 21<Î> to the justification-indicator valve 14<Î> of the right-hand unit. The valve consists of a casing 1 provided with a plug 7, which is held down by a spring 11, and is provided with a handle 13 movable over an index. The casing 1 is formed with ports 3, 3<1>, 4, 4<1>, which respectively communicate with the valve 14, the lock-out 19, the valve 14<Î>, and the lock-out 19; the casing is also formed with a port 2 which opens into a chamber 20, and is connected through a pipe 5 to a pressure supply. The plug is formed in the planes of the casing-ports with circumferential grooves 8, 8<Î> and radial passages 9, Fig. 1, the passages communicating with a port 10 which leads into the chamber 20. In the mid-position of the handle 13, the grooves 8, 8<Î> respectively bridge the ports 3, 3' and 4, 4', as shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1, and the units B, B<Î> are set for simultaneous control from the keyboard C. When the handle 13 is turned to the right, the ports 4, 4<1> still communicate through the groove 8<Î>, but the port 3 is closed and the port 3<1> is opened, thereby admitting pressure to the lock-out 19<Î> and cutting out the unit B<Î> from responding to the keyboard, but leaving the unit B under the control of the keyboard. Similarly, when the handle 13 is turned to the left, the unit B is cut out and the unit B<Î> is left under the control of the keyboard. When the valve is set to lock out either unit, communication is maintained between the lock-out of the active unit and its valve 14 or 14<Î>, thus retaining that lock-out in communication with the exhaust of the valve, and preventing trapping of air. The valve is preferably in the form of an attachment which may be applied readily to existing multiplex machines.

Abstract: 26,947. Newman, A. S., Montel, E. de, and Smith, W. A. Heyford-. Dec. 1. Enlarging. - In the production of separateleaf kinematographs from a negative film band, the band is enlarged upon a band which is moved synchronously, but to an extent greater than the length of the negative multiplied by the ratio of enlargement in order to leave a margin for binding. The edge of the film is cut at each movement to facilitate the subsequent cutting of the film into sections. Apparatus is described in the Specification for simultaneously cutting and perforating the sections. Apparatus is also described for cutting off a predetermined length of negative film in the camera, but this apparatus does not form part of the present invention. In the enlarging-apparatus the negative film d, Fig. 4, moves upward and the positive film 1 downwards, the relative movement being obtained by a lever having unequal arms 5, 6 and is operated from the crank 13. The sliding piercer 10 for feeding the film 1 is connected with the pronged member 7, that feeds the negative by links 21, 22, 23. The pronged member 7 is moved into and out of connexion with the film d by a slotted arm 16 at the end of the rod 17 which is reciprocated by the cam 19. This cam 19 also intermittently actuates the arm 28 controlling the shutter x, and the knife 24 for slitting the edge of the film 1. Fig. 4 shows the position of the parts when the film d has just been fed upwards and the film 1 down. The shutter is open to project the film in the gate u on to the portion z of the film 1. The knife 24 has just slit the edge of the film. The exposure lasts until the cam 19 has rotated through half a revolution, after which it actuates the lever 28 to close the shutter and to slide the rod 17 and arm 16 to bring the prongs 7 and pin 10 into engagement with the films.
