Inventor: CAMPION FREDERICK ABIA
Filed: 1903-11-17
Granted: 1904-10-06
Abstract: 25,011. Campion, F. A., and May, A. F. Nov. 17. Hat pegs.-A hat or like peg automatically shuts up, so as not to project from the surface to which it is attached, when the hat or other article is removed. The peg a is pivoted at b between the sides of a casing c, which is provided with flanges or other means to facilitate attachment to the back of a seat, or a wall &c. The front part f of the root of the peg is sloped and engages with one face of a triangular tongue i pivoted at h. The inner edge of the tongue is hinged at j to a weight k free to slide in the lower part of the casing. Normally, the weight keeps the tongue, and consequently the peg, in a vertical position as shown. But if a down. ward pressure be put on a projection l in front of the tongue, the upper end of the tongue will be tilted forward to allow the peg to fall out of the casing aud enable a hat &c. to be hung upon it. A stop g prevents the peg from falling back too far. A spring may be used instead of the weight k.

Granted: 1905-11-14
Abstract: 24,666. Velasco, J., and Wilkinson Sword Co. Nov. 14. Strops.-In razor-stropping machines in which the razor is swung from side to side by the reciprocation of the strop, the razor is also given a relative endways motion across the strop. The razor clamp B is mounted on a rod B', which can slide longitudinally in the frame C, and is connected by toothed segments B<2>, D<4> with a rod D on which are one or more teeth D' engaging with the screw thread of the nut D', which forms a guide roller for the strop. The first effect of pulling one end of the strop is to cause the razor to bear against it, and then to cause the spindle D, and with it the clamp and razor, to move longitudinally. Springs C<4>, C<5> on the spindle D tend to keep the frame in the central position. The strop may be made to move transversely while the razor is fixed. The Provisional Specification states that the rotary motion may be communicated from the spindle D to the rod B' by two levers with a pin-and-slot (r equivalent connection, and the longitudinal motion by a crosshead engaging between shoulders on both the spindle and the rod.

Granted: 1906-08-16
Abstract: 20,806. Alexander & Co., R. F. & J., and Mackie, J. Oct. 14. Reeling-machines.-When the swift is collapsed, the stop-rod is locked in its 'off' position automatically. Two opposite rails d, Fig. 1, of the swift are carried by rods f which are slidably and radially supported in lugs e<2> on the spider wheels e<1> and connected by links g to bars h arranged at opposite sides of the swift shaft a and supported in slots in the wheels e<1>. The bars h are secured to a sliding collar k on a sleeve i and carry rollers engaging helical grooves in the sleeve, the rotation of which by means of a hand-wheel i<1> on it moves the bars longitudinally to bring the rails d into the positions shown in dotted lines. The locking- device consists of a ring l secured to a shaft m, on which is also fixed a lever m<2> having a notch m<3> and inclined face m'. The ring rests against a projection h<3> on one of the bars h, but, when the bars are moved to collapse the rails, the ring and lever m<2> move into the dotted-line positions, the notch m<3> locking a collar n on the stop-rod o. In a modification of the locking-device, a spring-controlled lever u, Fig. 3, pivoted to a collar j retaining the sleeve i in position, carries a bowl v bearing against a cam-shaped rim t on the hand-wheel i<1>. During reeling, the raised part of the cam presses forward the lever u to hold back the ring l, but when the wheel is rotated to collapse the rails the lever is no longer supported and allows the ring and consequently the stop-rod locking-lever to descend into action. A hollow cone at the doffing end of the swift prevents the hanks from becoming entangled with the mechanism during doffing.
