Title: Improvements in Abrading Machines for Sharpening Files and the like
Inventor: RADELL ANTHONY HENRY
Filed: 1906-05-08
Granted: 1907-05-02
Abstract: 10,741. Radell, A. H. May 8. Sand blast. -In an abrading - machine for sharpening files and like tools, the tool is inserted through a hole 15, Fig. 2, in the upper part of a casing 11 in the path of a blast of abrading-material, preferably a mixture of carborundum and ground quartz. The blast is operated by a pressure fluid at a high temperature and the abrading-material is supplied in a moist and heated condition. A heated gaseous material is sppplied with the abrading-material to the conduit or sand-pipe of the injector. The lower part of the casing is made in the shape of a hopper and the spent material from the blast falls to the bottom of it, and thence through holes, the size of which can be altered, into a box 18, whence it is drawn through the pipe 40 into the injector 27, and so into the blast again. The hopper 12 is filled with water which is kept at a definite level by an overflow pipe 26. The steam for the blast is supplied through the pipe 35 and issues through the annular nozzle 30 ; an inner nozzle 31, co-axial with this, is provided through which compressed air from the pipe 37 may be blown to aid the steam blast if it is insufficient. Hot air from the upper part of the casing 11 is drawn through the open-ended pipe 42 down into the box 18 and serves to heat the wet abrading-material, so as to diminish the condensation when the steam comes in contact with it. The position of the air nozzle is such that the steam heats the issuing air and thus further prevents condensation. An auxiliary steam or hot-air jet 44 may be used in the box 18 to assist in forcing the abrading - material to and through the pipe 40 to the injector. When this auxiliary jet is used, the air which enters the box 18 through the pipe 42 may be taken direct from outside the casing, or may be dispensed with altogether. To regulate the amount of abrading- material in the blast, means consisting of relief pipes and cocks 48, Fig. 4, connecting with the interior of the casing 11 are provided, to regulate the vacuum in the chamber 29 of the injector.. If it is desired to stop the machine, the holes between the hopper 12 and the box 18 are closed, and either all the abrading-material in the box is blown out, or the box is emptied through an opening in the bottom of it. A guard 16 is provided over the hole through which the tool is inserted and the steam pasees out through the pipe 17. A testing-block 33 is secured to the removable tip 32 of the injector.

Title: Improvements in Electric Time-switches.
Inventor: LUETHI GOTTLIEB
Filed: 1907-12-19
Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 27,986. L³thi, G. Dec. 19. Switches.-A time switch, which automatically turns the current on and off at about sunrise and sunset at all times of the year, comprises a rollershaped contact support mounted on a shaft 4 and caused to rotate once in every 24 hours by clock-work. Figs. 7 and 8 show left and right end views of the contact support, the surface of which consists partly of metal 6, and partly of insulating-material 5. On one end of the metallic part 6 bears a contact 7, which is connected to one terminal 10 of the switch. The other contact 26, which is furnished with a weight 26<1> and rests on the surface of the contact support 5, 6, is connected to a nut 26<11> working along a screw spindle 27, which is supported between plates 1, 2 and connected to the other terminal 60 of the switch. Between the plates 1, 2 are also mounted two shafts 28, 29, Fig. 4, and a shaft 30 capable of longitudinal displacement. These shafts are fitted with toothed wheels as shown, and the shafts 28, 29 are geared together and set into rotation by a wheel 35 on the shaft 4 of the contact support. The screw spindle 27 is in gear with the shaft 30, and the direction of its rotation is automatically changed by the displacement of the shaft 30 and the consequent engagement of a wheel 36 with one or other of wheels 33, 34, every time the contact 26 reaches one of its end positions. The displacement of the shaft 30 is effected as follows :-On the shaft 37, driven by the screw spindle 27, is secured a worm 38 in gear with a worm-wheel 39, loosely mounted on, but clutched to, a shaft 40. On the shaft 40 are fastened a weighted lever 41, and two arms 42, 43 at an angle to each other. At the right moment, the lever 41 falls over, and one of the arms 42, 43 engages a plate 45 fixed to the shaft 30 and so displaces it. Locking-levers 50, 51 engage respectively one or other of two annular grooves 52, 53 in the shaft 30, according to the position of the shaft, and are provided with camfaces 54, 55, which project into the oscillation plane of arms 46, 47 also attached to the spindle 40. These arms engage the cam-faces, and release the shaft 30 by lifting the proper lever 50, 51 at the moment when the weighted lever 41 falls over to move the shaft 30 as above described. The contact support is provided with metal strips 11, 12 insulated from the metallic part 6. Every time the contact 26 passes on to the strip 12, circuit is completed through an electro-magnet 16, 17, and the weighted armature 21 is attracted. The armature is furnished with a catch 20, which engages a ratchet-wheel 19 fixed to the spindle 4. This automatically drives the spindle 4 through a small distance, causing the contact 26 to fall over on to the insulating-part 5, thus preventing the burning up of the edge of the metallic portion 6. The gearing between the screw spindle 27 and the shaft 4 is so arranged that, during 365 turns of the latter, only one to-and-fro motion is transmitted to the contact 26.
