Granted: 1905-04-20
Abstract: 6164. Harris, C. C. March 23. Nail files, cutters, and cleaners ; face and features, improving appearance of.-Consists in the combination of a nail file and cutter 9, a pair of tweezers 2, and two appliances for extracting blackheads from the skin, consisting of eyes 12, 13 carried at the ends of arms 14. The two blades of the tweezers are offset at the ends and riveted together to form a narrow opening 7, in which the nail file is pivoted. To facilitate opening, the nail file has a projecting nib 10 provided with a cut to receive the thumb-nail. Mounted at the extremities of the pivot 8 are the two extractors 14, which are so bent that, when they are closed, the eyes protect the edges of the tweezers. The extractors are preferably made of resilient wire and tend to keep the tweezers in a closed position. In a modification, Fig. 6, the blades 19 of the tweezers are formed in one piece and have inward projections 25 to keep the nail file in position.

Title: Improvements in Coolers for Powdered, or Granular, Material.
Inventor: JOHNSON GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1905-04-26
Granted: 1906-02-22
Abstract: 8814. Johnson, G. W., [Matcham, C. A.]. April 26. Cements.-In apparatus in which the granular material to be cooled, e.g. cement, falls down through a series of frustro-conical deflectors arranged in a casing and is cooled by an upward current of air, arrangements are made to dispense with the use of special draught-inducing apparatus. The material enters through a valved opening I the cylindrical casing C, wbich is fitted with the deflectors E of less diameter than the casing, and is removed through apertures K, the surplus escaping by a shoot J. The cooling- air, supplied by the passage F' to the vertical pipe F closed at its upper end, escapes into the casing through holes a provided with hoods a<1>, and passes to the stack D by way of the annular spaces between the deflectors E and the casing wall. Additional supplies of air may enter the pipe F through valved pipes H. The air in the stack D may be utilized to supply boiler furnaces or calcining-kilns.

Abstract: 17,884. Heylandt, P. Sept. 4. Bottle &c. holders. -Portable storage vessels for liquefied gases such as air, oxygen, nitrogen, &c., of the type having a vacuum jacket, are made partly or wholly of porcelain or like material, and are suspended in gimbals within a protecting-vessel so that the stoppered neck is maintained in the highest position. The storage vessel, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, comprises an internal porcelain or like globe 1 with an upwardly-divergent neck 2, and a metallic external globe 3 made in two parts soldered together. The globe 3 is provided with a dome 4 and an inward flange 5, the globe 1 being supported by a brass or other metel ring 6 cemented to the neck 2 and soldered to the flange 5. The neck is provided with a simple stopper 7 of loose or porous material such as cotton-wool, felt, &c., which is inserted in a metallic cap 8 soldered on the dome 4. The walls of the vacuum jacket 19 are preferably polished. The gimbal comprises two bent wires 9 soldered to the globe 3 and provided with trunnion ends 10 carried by a hoop 11, which turns on pins 12 in the wall of the protecting-vessel ; the plane of the hoop is above the centre of gravity of the storage vessel. The protecting-vessel is furnished with a hinged lid 16 and handles 17, 18. The globes 1, 3 may be formed of porcelain &c. in one piece, the air being exhausted from the jacket through a glass tube with a ground-in conical end, which is afterwards sealed by melting ; the wires 9 in this case pass through oppositely-inclined lugs on the globe 3. The top of the neck 2 may be bent over to form an annular ?-shaped channel, whereby the connexion with the globe 3 is removed from the direct influence of the low temperature within the globe 1. The wires 9 may be replaced by two or more semicircular wires symmetrically placed so as to form a cradle and riveted together at their common point of intersection.

Abstract: 19,750. Sangster, C. T. B. Sept. 5. Driving - mechanism for bicycles &c. In a handle-bar control or striking mechanism for use with variable-speed hubs, with or without coaster brakes, a lever a capable of a limited amount of play along its fulcrum pin a<1> passes through a slot i<1> in a cover-plate i and is pressed by a spring d away from a base-plate b into engagement with one or other of notches j<1>, j<2>, j<3>; or, it is pressed by the tension of the Bowden wire g against the end i<2> of the slot. The wire is connected to a pin f pivotally mounted in an extension e of the lever, while the outer member m bears against a counterbored hole or socket in a sleeve k, screwed through and adjustable within a guidepiece h<1> upon the base-plate or the attachment clip. The cover-plate is secured in position by screws n' passing through upstanding projections n' upon the base-plate. The guide h<1> is so disposed that when the lever is in its normal position against the stop i<2>, the pull is exerted in a direct line from the point f. By slightly undercutting that side of each notch which is nearer to the stop, the tension of the cable is utilized to effect a more positive interlocking action between the lever and the notches.

Abstract: 20,846. Goodson, J. Sept. 19. Pressure-regulating valves; special materials for valves.-Gas is supplied at constant pressure to a varying number of burners, notwithstanding varying pressures in the supply pipe, by an automatic valve b, Fig. 1, which controls an inlet c. The valve is actuated by a piston g subject to gas pressure, gas being delivered by a passage k to the outlet. The spaces above the piston and below the valve b are open to atmospheric pressure through passages j, i. The latter passage may bo omitted and holes made in a cover h. A stop f is provided in the lower cap. The piston and valve are in one and are made preferably of aluminium. In a modification, Fig. 3, gas enters at a<1> and passes through perforations g<2> in a hollow valve b to the underside and is delivered at a<2>. Although the piston g and valve b are of equal diameter, the excess of pressure on the solid piston actuates the valve b so as to throttle the inlet. A screw plug n serves to fix the size of the inlet. A stop m prevents the valve from closing entirely.

Abstract: 4712. Fessenden, R. A. Feb. 26. Telegraphs; telegraph and telephone calls.-Relates to apparatus for wireless telegraphy, and specially to indicating or call apparatus. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the electric waves in the aerial 1 induce waves in the secondary circuit 4, containing a condenser 6 and detector 5. This creates intermittent currents with a frequency the same as the group frequency in the local circuit 7 containing an electromotive force, and in two coils 15, 16, suspended between the poles of an electro-magnet 14 energized from the alternator 8, the wave frequency of which is the same, or slightly different from the group frequency of the waves in the aerial. As a result, the coils 15, 16 are repelled by the poles of the magnet, and the attached terminals 17, 18 of a local circuit containing an indicator 10 are closed. In a modification, Fig. 2, two coils 20, 21 at rightangles are used. The coil 21 is fixed and is excited by the alternator 8, while the coil 20 is pivoted and con nected to the secondary circuit of the aerial. In this case, the circuit of the indicator 23 is closed by the terminal 22 connected to the coil 20. Specification No. 28,291, A.D. 1903, is referred to.
