Granted: 1913-11-07
Abstract: 25,538. Rensch, R. Nov. 7. Leaf h o l d e r s a n d turners.-A leaf-turner for music &c. comprises a series of spring- actuated turning-arms 5, mounted on a threaded spindle 4, so that when turning they move also in an axial direction. The arms, each of which carries a slidable leaf-holder 9 consisting of two celluloid strips, are of increasing length, and are held in working position by a sliding plate 14 carrying a rack 15. The tension of the springs 6 can be regulated wholly or separately by the slide 12 carrying a comb 13, the prongs of which engage the windings of the springs. In the casing 8 is arranged a cylinder 21 which is pushed forward by compressed air, thereby moving the plate 14 by means of the lever 26, the movement being limited by the pawl 30', so that one arm only is liberated on each movement of the cylinder. When the arms are returned to their working position, they press upon one end of a curved lever 46, the other end of which engages a projection 33 of the plate 14, and so moves the latter over the ends of the arms. To allow repetitions of any desired extent, the plate 14 is provided with holes 14<1>, each one corresponding to one of the arms. If it is desired to repeat the last four sheets of music, the plug 34 is placed in hole No. 4. As the plate 14 moves to the right, the plug passes the spring-pressed beam 35 the upper edge of which is cut aslant on one side. When all the arms have turned, they are all thrown over to the right, when the plate 14 can move only so far as to hold the last four arms, the others returning at once to the left. The last few arms may then be again released singly. A pivoted strip 36 holds the sheets that are not to be turned, and a wire or cord 37 with an upper locking-bolt 38 holds the book in position. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 21,812/91, 3838/00, 20,647/03, 6033/08, and 11,481/09.

Abstract: 26,667. Gamble, J. A. Nov. 20. [Cognate Applications, 29,184/12 and 11,679/13.] Memorandum appliances. - In a continuoussheet writing-device for recording sales, an oddment space is provided above the feed-rollers for entering small amounts for which a bill is unnecessary, means being provided for unwinding the permanent record sheet without unwinding the bill sheets. For this purpose, the gripping rollers may be mounted so that they are normally in inoperative position and can be readily displaced, for example by pressure of the hand, into operative position, whereupon the bill and record sheets are unwound simultaneously. An advertising - device is provided comprising an endless band adapted to be moved and illuminated on the completion of each entry. The sheets are fed from rolls 7, 8, 9, Fig. 2, and are led over a writing-table 75, which is mounted by pins 77 thereon working in slots in springs 76 and rests on springs 74. The sheets are led between gripping-rollers 18, 19, the permanent record sheet 7 being wound on a crank-operated roll 10. The upper gripping-roller 19 is mounted on a transverse vertically-movable frame 28 carrying a knife 20 and provided with slots engaging fixed pins on the frame. Oddments are entered through a space 30 in a transparent cover 29 of glass, or of celluloid, in which case ears resting between the sheets, and the side pieces forming an angle flange to the casing, are formed integrally therewith. A space 31 is provided for cash summary statements. The axles of the rolls are mounted in grooves 25, 26, 27, being retained in position by means of rods 11 screwing into a plate 10. The carbon papers are held in position by means of a three-sided frame which can be locked on to the casing and covers the edges of the sheets. It is provided with pieces of rubber for gripping the carbon papers and with open slots in its vertical flanges engaging fixed pins. The advertising device consists of an endless band 50 exhibited through a window 56 and illuminated by a lamp 46. A bell-crank lever for releasing the cash drawer moves the band by means of a string wound on a helical groove on a roller 42 provided with a ratchet-wheel and pawl for preventing back motion. Simultaneously, the bell - crank lever closes suitable contacts, and the band is illuminated. The illumination of the lamp may be effected by the movement of the upper gripping- roller or the knife. A hand-rest sliding on side tracks may be provided.

Each carrier may consist of two short lengths of chain 1, 2 connected together by spacing-studs 3 and driven by upper and lower toothed wheels 10, 11. Spring plates 4 on either side of the carrier are attached to a central block 5 and end blocks 6 so that the front end of the carrier when passing between the points 16, 17 of the guide-rim 14 will straighten out, thus enabling the bobbin to pass automatically from one plate to another. Switches 19, pivoted at 20, are used to hold the carriers on their respective driving-wheels. If the switch is placed in the position shown, it engages a pin 18 on the underside of the carrier 21 and prevents it from changing over to the wheel 25. As the carrier passes by the switch, it acts upon a projecting part 23 and sets it in the position for holding the carrier 24 on the wheel 25. Conversely, if the switch is set over to the left-hand side before the carrier 21 reaches it, the carriers 21, 24 will cross over in turn. it, the carriers

Abstract: 10,873. Ges. f³r Elektro-Osmose, and Schwerin, Graf B. May 8. [Addition to 23,545/12.] Electric apparatus for carrying out the process of extracting water from substances such as peat and clay by electroosmotic action, described in the parent Specification, comprises one or more chambers of constant volume between perforated electrodes, to which the material is supplied under pressure. Filter cloths may be placed over the adjacent faces of the electrodes, and the apparatus may have the form of a filter-press. The perforated electrodes 6 may be of opposite polarities, or may be of the same polarity and be placed on opposite sides of an imperforate electrode 11. A series - parallel or parallel circuit arrangement may be adopted; in the latter case, only one set of electrodes need be insulated from the frames of the press. A reversing-switch is provided, in order to allow of the removal from the electrodes of substances such as chalk or ferric hydroxide, which tend to choke the filter cloths when peat or clay is being treated. The electrodes may be of hard lead. Only a small pressure, say one atmosphere, is required ; under some conditions, suction may be employed. The liquid to be treated enters through slots in the open frames of the press, and the water escapes through gaps 10 in the rims of the closed frames.

Granted: 1914-10-22
Abstract: 24,269. Smith, T. O. Oct. 27. Rigging; spars.-In roller reefing gear, the boom is revolubly mounted on a pin, and a lever loosely mounted on the pin turns a crown ratchet-wheel at the end of the boom to reef the sail, the lever being canted to set free the ratchet-wheel when the reefs are shaken out. The boom c, revolubly mounted upon the gooseneck pin b<3>, carries a hollow boss c<2> having a crown ratchet-wheel c'with under cut teeth at its end. A fixed pawl b5 upon the gooseneck normally engages the ratchet teeth. A lever e loosely mounted on the gooseneck pin engages with the ratchet teeth c<3> to rotate the boom when the sail is to be reeved. To let out the sail, the lever e is canted and, taking a fulcrum on a collar b<7>, presses the boom c back in an axial direction on the pin b<3> against the action of a spring d. The teeth c<3> are thus moved clear of the pawl b<5>, whereupon the sail may be hoisted. In the case of booms too heavy to allow this axial movement, the pawl b<5>, Fig. 11, on the gooseneck engages an intermediate pawl b<10> carried by a sliding disk b<8>. The lever e, when ranted, presses back the pawl b<5> and takes the pawl b<10> out of engagement with the ratchet teeth c<3>. The swivel-gear at the other end of the boom comprises a twoarmed lever g<@> carried by a cap g<1> swivelled to the after end of the boom. The lever g<2> carries the eye g<3> for the topping-lift tackle and the block g<8>, through which is passed the main sheet. In a modification, the application of the device to a roller fore-stay sail is described.
