Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 17,201. Vogt, F. A. July 24. Preserving meat etc.; cereal and meat preparations.-In a process for canning scrapple, the moist mixture of pork, meal, flour, &c. is filled into cans, which are then closed except for a vent opening and subjected to a dry heat, first at about 230‹ F. for 1¢ hours in order to drive off aqueous vapour, then at about 350‹ F. for half an hour in order to expel volatile oils and gases from the fats and to prevent fermentation, and finally at 400‹ F. for about 15 minutes to expel any other gases and alcoholic vapours. The cans are then allowed to cool somewhat and hermetically sealed.

Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 28,595. Krause, R. Dec. 20, 1911, [Convention date]. Spark-gap apparatus for producing electric oscillations is constructed so that the casing is divided into sections, one section for each electrode, and the electrodes are insulated from the casing, and their distance apart is determined by a packing-member arranged between the sections of the casing. In the form shown in Fig. 1, each electrode a is connected by an annular insulator b to a section c of the cylindrical casing. The copper sections care equal in thickness to the electrodes a, and are separated by packing-rings d, which may also be of metal. Semicircular insulating-rings b, Fig. 3, may engage in circumferential grooves f in the electrodes. Alternative arrangements of the insulating-members b, sections of the casing, and electrodes a are described.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Switches for Electrically Operating Planing Machines and the like.
IPC: B23D7/00
Filed: 1913-03-28
Granted: 1914-03-19
Abstract: 7369. Lancashire Dynamo and Motor Co., and Hargreaves, W. March 28. Planing. - Electric switches are operated by the tappet gear of electrically driven planing and like machines for the purpose of increasing speed when the tool comes to a gap in the work or reducing speed when the tool encounters a casting. A switch lever B provided with a dead - centre throw-over spring D is operated by two levers C, F adapted to receive the impact of the tappets. The long lever C, the spindle of which is in fast engagement with that of the switch lever normally stands over on 'the right-hand side so that its tip projects up into the path of the advancing tappets, the switch lying on the right-hand set of contacts E<1> so that the driving-motor is connected to run at normal speed. The first tappet impact carries the lever C over to the left, the switch lever is thrown to the left-hand contacts E<2>, making connexion for the change of speed, and the short lever F is, by means of a pin- and-slot connexion with the lever C, simultaneonsly moved over to the right so that its tip comes up into the path of the second tappet. The impact of the second tappet restores the parts to their original positions. The full stroke of the parts is ensured each time by the throw-over spring. The tappets are either fixed directly to the moving bed or tool, or they are mounted on a worm-driven disk or a screw-driven reciprocating part.

Inventor: EICHLER ARTHUR
IPC: A63G7/00
Filed: 1913-06-27
Abstract: 14,887. Eichler, A. June 27. Amusement apparatus.-In an amusement apparatus, cars are drawn over the surface of a large inflated cushion or bag to which an undulating motion may be given by displacing the air therein. The cushion 1 is provided with a cover on which scenery may be painted. Bands or belts 2 which are fastened to brackets pass around the cushion and have their free ends attached to cords 4, which are wound on pulleys 7.

Passenger cars are drawn over the surface of the cushion either by means of an overhead cable or by means of a central rotating shaft like that of an ordinary roundabout. In some cases, only a single belt may be used to compress the cushion, or the belts may be dispensed with and the weight of the cars relied on for producing the undulation of the cushion.

Granted: 1914-04-09
Abstract: 22,755. Cobb, E. S. March 5, [Convention date]. Crossings with movable parts.-In a railwaytrack crossing, the movable intermediate portions 25 are composed of two portions overlapping each other centrally and adapted to oscillate in a vertical plane about centres situated below the stationary rail intersections. In the construction shown, the meeting rails 10, 11 abut along a plane which bisects the angle between them, and these rails present to the movable rails 25 a surface 13 at right-angles to the surface 12. These rail ends are mounted upon the four corners of a box foundation 15 enclosing the operating-mechanism, which comprises an electric motor 52, worm-wheel 53, cross-shafts 35, and cranks 36 pivotally connected through links 38, 40 with the movable rails 25. The rails 25 are constrained to move about centres 31, and are supported by the curved parts 29 of the supports 30. Fig. 2 shows the two rails, 25 in their inoperative position; in the reverse position, the bolt 39 engages the recess between the rails, which are then locked by the links 38, 36 passing slightly beyond the vertical as shown in broken lines. Lateral movement of the rails is prevented by tongues 27b engaging in apertures 17. The motor 52 may be controlled by the cars, the control being through a commutator on one of the shafts 35. In a modification, a pair of cross-shafts is used for each pair of rails, the shafts being geared together and connected by cranks and links to the movable rails.

Platen machines; inking-apparatus; holders for loose types; types. - Relates to machines comprising a type chase or holder mounted on links and operated so as to move to and from an ink-pad and a platen. The platen 3 is mounted on the top of the frame 1, and the ink-pad 15 on brackets 14. The type holder 11 is pivoted in the side members 7 of a swinging frame 6 pivoted in lugs 5 and having an operating-handle 23. The stub shafts or pivots 9, 10 of the holder 11 are pivoted in bearing recesses in the members 7 open at the undersides, and they are held in the recesses by resilient springs 12 attached to the members 7 and having curved ends extending under the stub shafts. These springs lift the holder and support it yieldingly while inking the types. One stub shaft 9 is extended beyond the member 7, and is fixed by a set-screw 25 in the end of a link 24 pivoted to an arm 26 pivoted on an extension 27, so that the type-holder is maintained in horizontal position. The pad 15 is supported so as to slide to a limited extent on the supports 14 between stops 16. The pad comprises a body 19, Fig. 7, placed in a tray 18 on a central yielding support 20 of rubber, and near the corners are other yielding blocks 21 of less thickness than the block 20, so that the pad can yield and adapt itself to the pressure of the types. The types 28 are locked up between bars 29<1> and blocks 29, engaging the bars 34 of the holder or chase, by means of a screw 30 extending through the trunnion 10. The types are preferably wood blocks having flexible printing-surfaces 37' forming words, and the backs of the blocks are printed with the corresponding word or words to facilitate setting-up of the types. To prevent the holder from being raised when the types are unlocked, the head of the screw 30, when unscrewed, engages the arm 41 of a lever 40 pivoted on the base 1 and moves the other arm 42 so as to engage over the side member 7.
