Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 26,955. Steiff, R. Dec. 11. Dolls; animals; toys, driving-mechanism for.- Mechanical toys, of the type in which the clockwork is wound by means of the limbs, are so constructed that the limbs connected to the driving- shaft can be turned an unlimited number of times in either direction without injury to the spring of the clockwork. The rigid part f of the limb i is fixed to a sleeve e journaled on the driving-shaft c. In the sleeve is a recess g shaped like a saw-cut and provided with bevelled walls of which one is steep. On the shaft is a pin d which is kept normally in the groove g by a leather loop-shaped spring h. When the limb is turned in the non- winding direction, the pin slips over the bevelled wall of the sleeve and the arm turns freely, but when turned in the other direction the mechanism is wound until the resistance becomes so great that the pin slips over the steep wall of the clutch and so prevents over-winding.

Granted: 1910-11-28
Abstract: 27,684. Bracq, G. Nov. 27. Field-tube apparatus. - Field tubes 1 are mounted upon collectors 2 preferably in staggered relation. The chamber 3, in connexion with the steam inlet header 5, distributes the steam to the upper end of the vertical pipes by means of internal tubes 6. Condensation water collects in the chamber 4 from the annular spaces 8. An extension of the chamber is on a level with the chamber 3, and from this any steam not condensed rises through the inner tubes 6 of a second set of tubes, the final condensate being collected by the chamber 9 and header 10. Water from the chamber 4 discharges by an aperture 11 past a water-seal 12. The outer tubes 1 are secured by the screwing of the inner tubes 6, thus drawing up a collar 20. A water seal 23, 24 prevents the direct escape of steam from the chamber 3 to the chamber 4 when the collar is in position.

Granted: 1910-10-20
Abstract: 2876. Beck, H. Feb. 5, 1909, [Convention date]. Light, obtaining by friction of metallic and other particles.-Pyrophoric alloys which ignite spontaneously on exposure to the air consist of 60-20 per cent of mercury together with 40-80 per cent of cerium or other rare-earth metal or metals. The rare-earth metal, in finely-divided form, is heated to 500-600‹ C. in mercury vapour to obtain the alloy. The alloys in burning produce intense spark and flame formations, and may be used for kindling combustible gases and other inflammable materials. Cerium-mercury alloys containing 10-16 per cent of cerium are also referred to.

Granted: 1911-02-08
Abstract: 3103. Sablon, E. M. March 4, 1909, [Convention date]. Feeding-appliances for animals.-In an apparatus for feeding pigeons at predetermined times, a food hopper 8 is provided with a pivoted gate 9 engaging the inner edge of a cylinder, which is rotated by a pawl 5 pivoted on a lever 4 actuated by the armature 2 of a magnet 1. A lever 11 .provided with a spring pawl 12 is connected to the lever 4, the movement of which causes a cord, carrying a rod 14 with a weight 15 adjustably fixed on it, to be wound round the shaft of the ratchet wheel 13. Food is thus liberated from the hopper 8, by the excitation of the magnet 1, until the weight 15 raises the blade 16, which is in circuit with the magnet 1, and breaks the contact, thus stopping the distribution of food. After a given time, which is determined by a clock in circuit with a battery and the magnet 17, this magnet is energized and attracts the armature 18, releasing the wheel .13 and allowing the cord carrying the weight 15 to unwind until the contact 16 is made, whereupon the process starts again.

Filed: 1910-07-09
Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 16,442. Stumpf, J. March 5, [Convention date]. Double-beat valves.-A multiple-beat distribution valve for steam-engines, more particularly of the uni-directional flow type, is constructed, as shown, in one piece, with one face b thereof co-acting resiliently with its seat, while the other face co-acts rigidly. For this purpose, the face b is carried on a thin flexible web g from the main body a' of the valve, and this web overhangs the lower valve face, preferably by an amount e, which is three-eighths of the width of the resilient web g. Steam-tightness is thus assured under varying temperatures, the resilient valve face being pressed to its seat by fluid pressure on the web g. The construction may be modified so as to have both valve faces rigid, with one of the seats resiliently supported.

Granted: 1910-12-31
Abstract: 16,935. Black, H. D. July 15. Reciprocating-punch machines.-In a machine for simultaneously punching two or more holes in a pile of sheets for sales-books &c., and inserting eyelets in the holes, the punches are relatively adjustable, and a series of adjustable stops for the pile of sheets is provided. The invention is described as applied to the machine de-' scribed in Specification 16,877/95. The punchcarrier e extends between the two levers c, and is provided with holes e<1> for the reception of two or more punches f. A carrier g receives the bolsters h of the punches in holes g<1>. The punches and bolsters are adjusted by inserting them in any two of the holes e<1>, g<1>. The eyeleting punches j and dies are adjustable in the same way in their carriers i, k. The method of adjustment may be modified, for example, the punches may be mounted upon slides movably mounted in guides in a punch head. The carrier e is actuated by the rods m, levers n, and rods o, as described in the Specification referred to. The adjustable stops comprise two end stops t' secured by thumb-screws to the table, and intermediate stops or fingers r<2>, Fig. 2, secured to collars r slidable on a spindle q. The spindle q is intermittently rotated, to bring the stops r<2> successively into position, by a ratchet p<6> and pawl p<5> actuated by a link p<3> connected to a bell-crank lever p<1>, p<2> operated by one of the rods o by means of a pin-and-slot connexion. The eyelet guides u are pivoted at u<1> and reciprocated by the lever u<2>. Each guide carries a bracket v having an horizontal slot v<1>, which engages a pin v<2> on a bracket beneath the table. In operation, the right-hand end of a pile of sheets is placed against one of the stops t<1>, and two or more holes are punched and eyeleted. Then the work is moved until its left-hand end abuts against one of the stops r<2>, and the punching is repeated. The rise of the rod o causes the stop r<2> to be turned out of the way, and the work is moved against the next stop, and so on until the end stop t<1> is reached.

Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 22,735. Mittelhausen, C., and Williams, A. R. Oct. 1. Insulators for overhead electric railways and tramways are made with a conical porcelain or like ceramic-ware body resting on a metal casing with a yielding cushion between the body and casing. As shown in Fig. I, the body A rests in the casing E with a soft packing F of lead, felt, cork, or the like interposed. The bolt B carrying the conductor D is insulated as at G, and cushioning-washers H, H<1> of lead prevent the insulator from being crushed by tightening the bolt home. Between the ear C and the insulator A a saucer - shaped shield may be placed to guard the body A from blows from the trolly in the event of its leaving the line. This shield may be made in two parts as shown in Fig. 1, the lower one having a groove K' for the anchoring-wire X; or it may be made oval instead of circular. Set-screws may be screwed through the casing E into the body and the lead surrounding it so as to lock the body in position. Instead of locking in this way, pins W may be driven tangentially as shown in Fig. V, and the ear may be shaped as at T so as to guard the insulator from blows. The bolt carrying the ear C may be screwed downwards, or the ear C may be provided with a stud B' which is screwed upwards. Specifications 17,215/01, 22,404/04, and 13,062/05 are referred to.

Abstract: 7670. Goldstein, A. March 28, 1910, [Convention date]. Alarms operated by expansion of gases.-Relates to alarms of the type comprising a pipe containing air, which on expanding acts upon a flexible diaphragm coacting with a contact of an electric alarm circuit. The pipe 1 is in loop form, and diaphragms 4, 5 respectively are arranged in front of the open ends, so that, should a leak or obstruction occur at any point, there will always be a sufficient length of pipe on one side or the other to operate one of the diaphragms, both of which control an alarm bell 15. In a modification, each diaphragm controls a separate alarm bell, and one of the diaphragms is adapted to break a closed circuit, which normally short-circuits the alarm bell.
