Granted: 1910-06-23
Abstract: 18,616. Collins, S. O. H., and Pearce, H. V. Aug. 12. Clubs.-The impulsive force with which a golf club &c. strikes a ball, and the point of contact between the face and the ball, are indicated by a device contained within the head of the club. The striking - face of the club is formed of a spring-controlled plate b, Fig. 1, rollers upon the inner face of which engage with spring - controlled pivoted sectors e, Fig. 4. When the ball is struck by the middle of the striking - face, the sectors are rocked equally and, by means of links i, displace a block j, bearing a pointer m, parallel to itself along the slot shown. If the middle of the striking-face does not strike the ball, the sectors are rocked unequally and the pin k of the block and, consequently, the pointer m are rotated as well as moved bodily towards the rear face of the club. Pawls o engage ratchet-teeth upon the sectors and keep them in the position to which they have been moved by the impulsive force; the pawls are released upon the depression of a projecting plate which engages the spring q controlling the pawls.

Abstract: 3095. Zipper, E. Feb. 10, 1909, [Convention date]. Feeding and winding webs; collapsible rollers.-The rolling-up drum 26, Fig. 3, of a measuring-machine has a portion of its wall formed of a flap 28 adapted to be rotated about a shaft 27 and having at its outer end grippers 29, 30, which are actuated from a reversing- clutch by gearing to a shaft 249, which fits in semicircular recesses in the jaws and has disks 251 to which are pivoted splaying-levers 252, the other ends of which are pivoted to the jaws, one of the pivots being movably mounted and spring-held in its jaw to allow for different thicknesses of material. The shaft 249 also carries cams which operate through slides and bell-crank levers, to project and withdraw gripping - pins. The clutch when put in operation first opens the jaws and then turns the drum backwards and causes the flap to mount a guide 300 until it rests beneath the cutting-point. A rest then occurs as the. clutch is put out, and the putting - in of the reverse clutch closes the jaws on the cloth which has been inserted. The drum 26 is made partly collapsible by means of segments 31, Fig. 10, which are at one end connected by links 33 to a sleeve mounted to slide on the drum shaft 26, which is pushed in to bring the drum into its cylindrical form by half-sleeves t engaging a cone p on the sleeve, these half-sleeves are mounted in scissors-levers s, the other end of which works in guides u, and which are actuated at this pivoted point w by a lever x, which is actuated by lugs z when the frame 14 is moved down. To turn the drum, the clutch member 73, Fig. 4, is placed in engagement with the member 69. In a fixed guide 282, Fig. 1, on the front of the machine are arranged two transversely movable sides 283 having hinged cheeks 285, which carry blocks 286 at their outer ends, which hold the bales of material either by the pins 287 or by points on the opposite side of the blocks. Behind the guide 282 is arranged an endless chain running over rollers 290, and the slides are attached to opposite sides of the chain so that the slides move towards or away from one another when the chain is moved. The chain is driven through a worm gear by the motor, the gear being thrown in and out by a treadle 299 which at the same time releases the toothed slides from a rack 310 which normally engages them. When the treadle is depressed, the slides approach one another, and at the same time a weight is lifted. To move the slides outwards, a handle 313 is depressed to release the slides, which are then moved by the falling weight. Guides 313 may be connected to the slides 283. A winding inlay 315, Fig. 36, having one or both sides made of strips 317 attached by links 318 to rods 319, may be inserted into the material removed from the drum, the pushing-in of the rod 319 extending the frame.

Abstract: 5021. Telekampf, A. Feb. 28. Photo-mechanical printing-surfaces.-In producing a photo-litho printing-plate, more especially for line work, the plate is sensitized with a bichromate emulsion, exposed through the tracing or diapositive, and is developed with lactic acid or with alcohols containing two or three molecules of hydroxyl. The plate is rendered capable of taking greasy ink on the developed lines by adding to the developer substances usually used in preparing the plates, such as nitric, citric, tartaric, oxalic, or acetic acids, or alum, according to the plate. In the case, for example, of aluminium plates, nitric or oxalic acid is used. When the development is complete, the action of the developer can be stopped by washing with methylated spirits. The plate is inked, and then placed in a slightly acid bath to remove the undeveloped bichromate layer with the ink on it, leaving the ink on the developed lines..

Abstract: 12,625. Salom, P. G. May 24. Electrodes for lead accumulators n o t r equiring forming, consist of spongy l e a d particles oxidized superficially and applied mechanically to conductive supports, the slight oxidation of the lead keeping it porous while allowing it to cohere. The supports may be lead - antimony grids having main bars 2, 3 and small cross bars 4 cast in one piece, the applied lead sponge being flush with the main bars after compression. Preferably the spongy lead is obtained electrolytically, and is washed with cold water, the wet mass then being comminuted by rubbing through a sieve. The water is allowed to evaporate until a film of suboxide forms on the lead, whereupon the oxidation is arrested, about 5 per cent of water being present. The mass has the consistency of moulding-sand, and can be pressed hydraulically on to the grids. Excessive oxidation must be avoided.
