Patent GB-191001440-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: HAZEN MARSHMAN WILLIAMS
IPC: B41J29/50
Filed: 1909-09-14
Granted: 1910-12-14
Abstract: 1440. Hazen, M. W. Sept. 14, 1909. Relates to carriage feeding, locking, and alarm mechanism, particularly for the folding typewriter described in Specification 21,006/09. Letter-spacing mechanism.- The feed-rack is engaged alternately by a fast dog 22 and a loose dog 23, which are mounted on an arm 24 pivoted under the carriage bed at 25, and guided by a slotted bracket 29. The dogs are swung transversely of the rack by means of a bar which engages the head 27 of the arm 24. The bar is carried by sway-levers which are slotted to engage bell - crank levers carrying the universal bar of the machine The loose dog is pivoted at 23<1>, and, during the feed movement, swings against a stop-finger 31. The loose dog is positioned by springs 33, 34 and the fast dog is connected to a spring which serves to return the arm 24. The carriage is propelled by a spring-drum 47, which is connected by a cord 46 to an arm 45. Carriage - releasing arrangements.-The carriage is provided with a pivoted bail 67, which is formed with a finger 69, and is adapted to engage a lug on the arm 24, and thereby release the dogs from the feed-rack. Back-spacing mechanism.-A slide 62, Fig. 5, having a tooth 65 is mounted by means of cam slots 63 on studs 64, which are secured to the carriage bed. The tooth 65 is normally clear of the feed-rack, but moves into engagement therewith when the slide is moved endways, further movement of the slide then back-spacing the carriage. The slide is returned by a spring 66. Line-locking devices ; carriage stops.-The linelock stop 50 is pivoted on the arm 45, for actuating the alarm, and co-operates with a finger 56 formed on a rock-shaft 53, which is journaled under the carriage-bed, and is formed with a second finger 55, which, when the shaft is rocked, is turned down against the side of the escapement-operating bar, and thereby prevents the keys from being operated. The first line-lock is caused by the engagement of the end 51 of the stop with the finger 56. The stop may be tilted to release the finger 56, and the carriage may then be stepped forward a few paces, the final line-lock being caused by the engagement of a shoulder 58 with the finger 56. The shaft 53 is normally held in the position shown by a spring 59. In a modification, the shaft 53 is replaced by a pivoted arm which is adapted to be swung into the path of the arm 24.

Granted: 1910-12-15
Abstract: 3617. Hart, P. May 28. Rotary cylinder, prism, and like apparatus.- Wind-driven -advertising vanes a, b, Fig. 1, having bent edges to catch the wind, are secured to a single pivot attached to the top, bottom, or one side thereof, and mounted in a bracket. In the last case, the pivot may extend beyond the bracket, and may bear a counterweight. Brakes may be used, and, in one form, they comprise pins j, Figs. 5 and 6, pivoted in bearings l at the edges of the blades and provided with a pair of rigidly united lips h, i. A high speed of rotation throws the lip i outwards and moves the crank n along an incline m in the upper bearing l. With diminished speed, the weight of the lip i draws the crank n, down the incline m until the lip i is in its normal position again. Another form of brake comprises a curved wing h<1>, Fig. 8, attached at some little distance to the blade a by a bracket h<2>. The draught, acting upon the lip h<1>, retards the rotation. The device may be made to yield the representation of an umbrella or other object.

Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 16,142. Storey, A. A. July 6. Balls; dice.-Relates to a sphere or ball of the kind having the surface marked off in divisions numbered or otherwise designated for scoring or counting purposes, and comprises means for indicating (after the ball has been rolled and has come to rest), the topmost division, or for ensuring that a single division shall come definitely to the top. In the construction shown in Figs. 2 and 3, a hollow glass sphere is filled with water with the exception of an air bubble 6, or a floating body, which rises to the top and indicates the correct division. Depressions 8 may be formed in the glass to position the bubble more definitely within the correct division. To ensure that the ball shall come to rest with a division at the top, projections 10 may be formed on the surface between the divisions. In modifications, the projections 10 are used without the liquid filling, and the ball (either solid or hollow) is constructed of wood, ivory, bone, metal, vulcanite, glass, &c.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Burnishing Machines particulary for use in Boot and Shoe Manufacture.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D95/24
Filed: 1909-12-14
Granted: 1911-01-16
Abstract: 29,944. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Dec. 14, 1909. Burnishing by compression.-The finger-hook of a burnishing or like machine having a plurality of tools such as a machine having forepart and shank tools for setting sole edges, is mounted so that it is free to move when one tool is brought into operative position, but is automatically locked against movement when the other tool is in operative position. The means for reversing the tools is the same as is described in Specification 29,237/09. The finger-hook 130 is longitudinally adjustable in an arm 144 pivoted at 146 to the actuating-lever 92 of the reversing - mechanism, and extends freely through this lever so that it can have a small amount of play. The arm 144 is formed with an inclined slot 150, Fig. 3, having vertical shoulders 152, and a spring-pressed locking-plate 158 is adapted to be moved into the position shown in Fig. 3, in which case the finger-hook is free, or into engagement with the shoulders 152, in which case the finger-hook is locked against movement. This is effected automatically by the engagement with the plate of one or other of two projections 160, 162, Fig. 1, on the toolholder. The projection 160 is located so as to free the finger-hook when the shank tool is operative, while the projection 162 locks the finger-hook when the forepart tool is operative. The finger-hook may be provided with a gas passage 132 and burner tip 134. Specification 29,237/09 is referred to.

Granted: 1911-10-12
Abstract: 9888. Buck, J., and Them, H. April 24. [Addition to 16,167/10.] Phosphorettedhydrogen and like signals. - Relates to improvements in the floating apparatus for producing the spontaneously - igniting signal described in the parent Specification. The calcium phosphides or other body producing the e selfigniting gas, enclosed in the inner chamber d, is mixed with sugar, salt, starch, or other soluble material to prevent the choking-up of the chamber due to the expansion of the substance when acted on by the water. In order to prevent the acetylene from escaping if the apparatus is raised from the water and so causing risk of an explosion, the water is made to enter the chamber k under the carbide chamber b through an hydraulic seal, such as the coiled pipe i which opens under the partition j, so arranged that when the apparatus is lifted up, some of the water remains in the pipe and prevents the egress of the gas. This pipe, the tubes g, h by which water enters the chamber d, and the tubes e, f by which the gases leave, are protected by metal strips n, o which are torn off when required by means of the key r. In a modification designed for repeated use, the phosphide or its equivalent is enclosed in a glass or other tube closed at each end by leaden disks with tubes fixed thereto which are caused to pierce the disks and put the contents in communication with the exterior by a shock. The partition closing the bottom of the apparatus is fixed by means of a hand-nut and a cap screwing on to the lower part of the internal chamber, rubber washers being provided to ensure a tight fit.
