Abstract: 29,047. Mackenzie, J. W., [United States Pencil Co.]. Dec. 17. Pencil-holders. - Relates to pencil-holders of the type in which a series of individual marking- points 4, Fig. 5, are mounted upon a frangible carrier 7, so forming a filler C, which can be adjusted through an opening in the side of the barrel A, Fig. 2, to bring a new sharp point into writing position, leaving the worn point free to be broken off. The invention consists in providing the barrel A at its forward end with a holder D which has an opening in its side through which the filler C can be directly engaged and moved forward by hand. The holder D is reduced at its forward end to form a collar 8 for supporting the filler C and is furnished with spring dogs 10, which automatically engage behind the butt end of a marking-point so as to prevent the return movement of the filler into the barrel. A new filler is inserted in the barrel when required by removing from the rear end a cap B carrying an eraser 2.

Granted: 1913-12-18
Abstract: 29,380. Parsons, Sir C. A., Carnegie, A. Q., and Cook, S. S. Dec. 20. [Cognate Application, 1062/13.] Gear-cutting.-The irregularities formed in the work in gear-cutting are distributed in spirals making a comparatively small angle with the plane of revolution of the work, thus destroying periodic correspondence of such irregularities with the irregularities of the master gear employed. In one arrangement, as described with reference to hobbing helical wheels, the master worm-wheel 4, Fig. 4, is connected to the table through crown teeth 27 driving a countershaft 17 mounted in bearings on the table and driving a second shaft on the table having a worm-wheel meshing with a worm 12 on a fixed or reversely-rotated central spindle. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, two tables are employed, one carrying the work and the other the wheel 4, relatively rotable as controlled by a similar train of gearing. In order to avoid disturbing the ratio of the change gear c calculated in the ordinary way, the added rotation given to the work is compensated by the gearing 25. In a further modification, the two tables are connected by a train of spur gearing, or by other arrangements of differential gearing. More than two tables may be employed in the above manner. The object of the invention may be attained by rotating the portion of the machine carrying the cutter through an arc around the work axis during the cutting, or by arranging the driving worm and its gearing in such a manner that the worm may move around an arc of the worm-wheel.

Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 2290. Dap, B. Jan. 28. Printing processes and apparatus. - In apparatus for supporting and adjusting printing- film frames for use in shading the surfaces of drawings, stones, &c., and of the kind in which a rough adjustment of the film frame 22, Fig. 1, is made by means of oscillatory and extensible side-arms 14 supporting a transverse bar on which the frame pivots are mounted, the transverse bar 23 is supported in a carriage 21 slidable on a guide-bar 15 pivoted between the arms 14, thereby extending the range of the apparatus. The arms 14 are provided with rack-teeth so that they can be advanced by means of pinions 12, Fig. 3, located in a housing 13 and carried on a rotatable bar 16, the arms 14 being clamped in the required position by brakemechanism 24. The housing 13 is pivoted on the axis 16 and is locked in position by means of a clamping-screw 18 connected with the main frame. The adjustment of the film frame 22 as regards height is effected by rotating the guide 15 by means of a micrometric screw 27 and wheel 26. The frame 22 receives its final adjustments by being pivoted on pintles 28, 29, which are given transverse and axial movements bv means of screw-and-nut micrometric mechanisms 31, 32, 33 respectively. The pintles 28, 29 pass through carriers 43, Fig. 4, which are mounted so as to slide transversely in housings 45 connected to sleeves 35 on the transverse bar 23, and receive this transverse movement from the screws 31, 32. The pintle 28 is preferably spring-mounted and the pintle 29 formed with a screw-thread 36 and operated by rotating a sleeve 40 forming part of the micrometric mechanism 33. In order to avoid back-lash in the axial and transverse adjustments, a spring- pressed divided nut is used. In the axial adjustment, for example, the operating-nut is formed in two parts 37, 38 having an interposed compression spring 39, the part 37 being coupled with the actuating-sleeve 40 and extension 41, and a pin 42 passing through the extension 41 engaging a groove in the part 38.

Granted: 1914-03-12
Abstract: 13,422. Ramage, A. S. Feb. 1, [Convention date]. Pigments.-In making paints, enamels, &c., the pigment is compounded with a small proportion of metallic soap or fatty acid which will dissolve in the vehicle. The pigment is mixed with an aqueous soap solution, and if the pigment itself will not precipitate the soap, with a metallic salt solution to yield an insoluble soap, or with an acid to yield the free fatty acid. The pigment is washed, the supernatant liquid run off, and the pulp, heated to about 140‹ F., is mixed with the vehicle, until the vehicle takes up the pigment and the water separates and is run off. The final traces of water are driven off by evaporation at a higher temperature. In an example, lead acetate solution is precipitated with sulphuric acid and potassium bichromate, a soap solution is added, and the mixed precipitate is mixed with linseed oil.

IPC: G02B15/04
Filed: 1913-09-25
Granted: 1913-12-18
Abstract: 21,621. Zeiss, C., [Firm of]. Oct. 4, 1912, [Convention date]. Telescopes.-In variablepower terrestrial telescopes having a collective system, such as II, Figs. 1 and 5, at least a collective member of the collective system is arranged to be transferred from a position in front of the focal plane o f the objective I to a position behind the focal plane. In a form where the distance between the front lens and the rear lens is invariable, as shown in Fig. 5, one member III<a> of the reversing-system III is made movable through a distance that is small compared with the movement of the collective system II, the movements being effected by rotating a divided sleeve a<1>, a<2> with helical grooves in which pins on the non- rotating mounts engage I. Preferably, the transferred part of the collective system has an approximately symmetrical form. In one form, in which the length of the instrument is invariable, when the position of the collective system is such that its front principal plane coincides with the focal plane of the objective, the reversing system inverts the image without changing its size. In a form with an invariable distance between the members of the collective system and providing only two powers, the images presented to the reversing system by the collective system lie in the same plane for the two positions of the collective system.
