Title: Improvements in Machines for Inserting Small Similarly Shaped Objects in Equally Pitched Interstices, specially applicable for Inserting Corks into the Meshes of a Wire Screen.
Inventor: SCHWARZ WILLIAM JOHN CHRISTIAN
IPC: B21F33/00
Filed: 1911-12-09
Granted: 1912-11-21
Abstract: 27,648. Schwarz, W. J. C. Dec. 9. Mats.-A machine for inserting small similarly-shaped objects in equally pitched interstices, and specially applicable for making mats by inserting corks 19, Fig. 6, in the meshes of a wire screen 29, comprises a fixed hopper 21, Fig. 1, from which the corks pass down an extension 22 with openings 23 to a feeder 25, which is reciprocated by a guided rod 26 actuated against the action of a spring 28 by a face-cam 41 on a disk 10 so as to feed the corks one at a time over a plate 24 into a socket 16, a plate 25<a> on the feeder acting as a cutoff for the hopper. The bottom of the socket 16 is tapered and has resilient prongs 16<a> to hold the cork lightly, and the socket and a plunger 14 within it are reciprocated independently in such a manner that the socket descends into the mesh and the plunger then descends and holds the cork while the socket rises, the cork being compressed as it passes through the lower end of the socket and expanding in the mesh when free. The plunger and socket are actuated by counterweighted levers 1, 2, telescopically-arranged rods 4, 5 with rollers 6, 7, 8, 9, and disk cams 10, 11. The wire screen 29 is secured in a socket plate 31, which slides on a table 30 and has a rack 32 engaged by a pinion 33 rotated to feed the screen mesh by mesh by a ratchet-wheel 35 and a weighted pawl 36 on a rod 38 actuated by the face-cam 41 against the action of a spring 40. Means may be provided for adjusting the feed of the screen to suit its meshes. The mechanism may be arranged to insert two or three corks at a time, and the machine may be actuated by power or manually by a handle 43.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Tool Handles.
Inventor: RENKENBERGER EDWARD JOHN
IPC: B25G1/00
Filed: 1912-01-18
Granted: 1912-04-04
Abstract: 1431. Renkenberger, E. J., and Rekenberger, G. C. Jan. 18. Strengthened handles.-Relates to tool handles strengthened by means of a length of wire wrapped round them in a helix. The tang-receiving end of the handle 1 is provided with slots 7 and the adjacent end of the wire 2 is turned back at 4 under the last few coils and inwardly at 5 and then driven into the material of the handle at a point between two of the slots. This prevents unfastening of the wire in the event of the handle splitting along one of the slots. A band of solder 8 is then applied round the wire coils at the forward end of the handle and a drop 9 of solder over the point where the rear end 3 of the wire is driven into the body of the handle. The wire may be of square cross-section and roughened on its outer surface, and the wrapping may extend for varying distances from the tang-receiving end of the handle.

The binding- strips 17 are attached at one end to one cover 1 and pass through the papers and clamping-bars 13 into a recess in the other cover 2, where they are attached to a cross-bar 23 movable along a double rack-bar 22. The bar 23 is held in position by a pawl 24, which can be disengaged by a finger-piece 26, and is movable, for the final tightening-up of the leaves, by a toothed lever 31 pivoted in an inclined slot 34 so as to allow it to be brought into and out of engagement with the rack-bar 22. A flexible back 35 is attached at one end to the bar 23, and passes loosely into the cover 1, to be engaged by a cord 38 attached to two rod springs 36, whereby the back 35 is drawn taut. A partition plate 40, forming a continuation of one of the bentover cover bars 11, is located in the recess in the cover 2 to hide the back 35, slots 41 being provided in the plate 40 for the passage of the connecting-studs 42 between the strips 17, the bar 23, and the back 35, and lugs 45 being struck up therefrom to support the rack-bar 22.

Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 7088. Hess, J. April 20, 1911, [Convention date]. Furs and furriery.-In a machine for cutting a fleece of fur from a skin, a shearing-knife s, which co-operates with a fixed knife x, is suspended from rotating eccentrics u, which impart to it an oscillatory cutting-stroke. The skin is passed over the blade x by a pair of rollers which press back the fur on that part of the skin passing over the blade, so that only the roots are brought beneath the knife s. The detached strips of skin and the roots fall into a receptacle, and the line of severed fur passes on with the fleece to conveying-belts or the like.

Abstract: 13,612. Bloxam, A. G., [Chemische Fabrik Griesheim Elektron]. June 10. #-Aziminoanthracene dyes are obtained by oxidizing the aminoazo dyes obtained by combining 2-diazoanthraquinone with 2-aminoanthracene or 2:6-diaminoanthracene. Further oxidization converts the anthracene residue into the anthraquinone residue. These products dye yellow shades from a vat. Brown to violetbrown vat dyes are obtained by nitrating and then reducing the above products. According to examples, the monoazo dye from 2-diazoanthraquinone and 2-aminoanthracene, and the primary disazo dye from two molecular parts of 2-diazoanthraquinone and 2:6-diaminoanthracene, are oxidized by means of bichromate or hypochlorite; mono-and di-nitro and -amino derivatives of the first-mentioned products are also described.
