Title: Improvements in and relating to Buckles.
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
IPC: A44B11/10
Filed: 1909-06-14
Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 13,926. Lake, H. W., [New York and Ohio Buckle Co.]. June 14. Buckles.-A buckle comprises a main frame 1, Fig. 4, on the underside of which slides a secondary frame 2 to produce a wedging action on interposed material. The frame 1 is made of sheet metal and is dished ; it has a cross - bar 20 provided with teeth to which one end of the strap is attached. The metal at the ends is turned under to form a clamping-surface 3 and a tuck-under portion 4. The member 2 slides in ways 5, and has two bars 6 7 in different planes. The free end of the strap is passed between the bars 6, 7 and under the portion 4 of the main frame, and is gripped between the bar 6 aud the inclined surface 3. In a modification, Fig. 7, the clamping-surface 8 is inclined upwards, the sliding member 9 has a thumb-piece 10, and the tuck-under portion 11 is formed as an extension of the main frame. The slideways may consist of an outwardly turned lip 12, Fig. 9, on the main member, with which an inwardly turned flange 13 on the sliding member interlocks. As shown in Fig. 10, the main member may have any ornamental shape, and is provided with sheaths 14, in which bars 15 on the secondary member slide. In Fig. 13 the members are shown with concentric curvatures to increase the gripping effect of the buckle on the strap. The attaching- bar 16 is carried by the sliding member 17, which has a turned-over inclined bar 18 co-acting with the tuck-under part 19 to effect a clamping action.

Granted: 1910-07-28
Abstract: 17,714. Gordon, J. July 30. Adjustments. - Consists in an attachment for tables &c. or furniture not having legs, whereby the article may be made to stand firmly on an uneven floor. The leg a shown is bored to receive freely a stem b having a foot c or a castor.

Title: Telescopic Lifting-gear.
Inventor: NITSCHKE KARL
IPC: E04H12/34
Filed: 1910-03-12
Granted: 1910-10-13
Abstract: 6211. Nitschke, K. March 12. Load - handling appliances. - Comprises a telescopic tubular mast for lifting and other purposes, in which the sections are raised progressively by a flexible steel band and are automatically locked in the extended position. Fig. 2 shows a detail view, and Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation of the apparatus. The tubes are raised by a band a which is stepped to correspond with the various diameters of the tubes so that it always fits the diametrical section of each tube and is thus kept rigid. The band is wound on a drum l and passes between two rolls h, i the drum being driven from the roll i by chain gearing k. Projections on the rolls engage with perforations in the band and keep it central. Each tube is locked, until the one inside it has been raised, by a pin d carried by a lever b the lower end of which is actuated by the shoulders on the band a and thus the tubes are released in turn. As the tubes are extended each section is locked to the next by a split clamp q which is tightened by an arm o actuated by a pin m on a fixed bracket n. When the band is lowered, the sections are released in order as they come down, so that the band is always rigid in the tubes. In a modification, the band a may be tapered instead of stepped.

Granted: 1911-11-15
Abstract: 26,522. Fairfax, H. W. Gabbett-, Smith, R. A., and Trevor, E. W. J. Nov. 15. Hulling. - Palm-nuts &c. are subjected to rubbing to remove the pericarp, by guiding them across the surface of a roughened rotary disk or cylinder. The disk 3, which, if of metal, may be roughened by punching from below, is mounted on a rotary vertical shaft 2. The fruit, fed through a hopper 6, passes by centrifugal force along an almost radial channel 7 the sides of which are spaced from the disk to allow the pericarp to pass out while the kernels are retained. The angle the channel makes with the radius may be adjustable. The pericarp is thrown beneath the flange of the cover 8 into a trough 10 and removed by a sweeper 11, mounted on and operated by gearing 12. The kernels leave by a passage 7<a>. The channel 7 may be replaced by one of zigzag form or by a spiral channel which, according to the Provisional Specification, may be formed of a single spiral strip. The friction may be increased by roughening the channel - walls, or by putting pressure on the material under treatment by means of leather, cloth, bristles, wire, chain, leaf-metal, or pneumatic cushions arranged in the channel. A roughened cylinder may be used, across the surface of which the material is conducted by means of a channel or worm conveyer.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Thermo-electric Gravity Motors.
Inventor: ROUSE ERNEST EDWARD
IPC: H01H29/28
Filed: 1911-09-25
Granted: 1912-04-11
Abstract: 7386. Rouse, E. E. Sept. 25. Gravity engines; regulatiny. - A thermoelectric gravity motor of the kind comprising a tubular rocking device operated by the alternate thermal displacement of liquid from one end of the tube to the other is arranged within a shunt circuit containing a variable resistance. The motor may be used to operate switches controlling electric signs &c., or for other light work. The rocking device may take the form of a circular tube b, Fig. 1, secured to a wheel. It is partially filled with liquid and the air is exhausted. Electric heating-elements b<2>, b<2>* are arranged at each end of the tube in contact with the liquid. One end of each heating - element, Fig. 5, is connected with a spring contact b<5>, b<5>*, these springs alternately contacting with a fixed segment d', and the other end is connected with the poles b<9>* of a two-way switch b<9>, Fig. 3. The contact-maker of this switch is rocked by a pivoted arm b<10> having a ring b<11> engaged by the pin c<4> of a crank c<3> secured to the motor shaft. Contact is ensured by the eye of a bowspring b<13> engaging a stud b<12> on the arm b<10>. A spring e ensures the completion of the rocking motion of the tube b in either direction. The variable resistances f, which in all cases are placed in the shunt circuit with the motor, are shown in position in Fig. 10, which illustrates a modified form of tube b and a modified switch b<9>. The switch b<9>, which is oscillated by the motor, comprises a bent glass tube containing a body of mercury b<9>** and having the air exhausted. Inside the tube are three contacts arranged so that the mercury connects the central contact b<12> alternately with the end contacts b<9>*. Below the main terminals g, h, i are arranged the circuits in which the lamps of the sign &c. are placed. The rocking of the apparatus cuts out the resistances on one side of the apparatus, and places in circuit those on the other side, and at the same time cuts out and puts in the lamps in the main circuit. The resistance lamps f give a visual indication of the correct working of the apparatus, and by using lamps of varying resistance the speed of the instrument may be varied. In a modification, Fig. 11, the tube comprises two bulbs b connected by two tubes b* and encased in metal sheaths b<1> carried by arms c. The heating-elements in the bulbs may, if desired, be enclosed in sealed tubes, or they may be wound round the exterior of the bulbs.
