Title: Improvements in and relating to Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: LONGINI HENRI EMANUEL
Filed: 1906-12-10
Granted: 1907-04-18
Abstract: 28,122. Longini, H. E. Dec. 10. Typewriters. - Relates to a machine for writing in small or large characters, which is adapted for making placards, bills, showcards, &c., and for writing in books or on bales, boxes, &c. The machine comprises a carriage travelling on a frame, and having printing- characters which can be depressed by means of a plunger. The frame 1, which is placed on the surface to be written on, consists of a plate on which run rollers 3, 5 on a carriage 4. A plunger 15, capable of sliding vertically on the carriage, supports a spindle 18 to one end of which is secured . a wheel 19. A rubber band provided with printing- characters passes round the wheel 19 and is secured thereto at its ends. At the bottom of the wheel, the band passes below a plate 24 carried by the plunger 15. The characters may be formed directly on the wheel 19. The wheel is rotated by means of a milled head 22. An index-wheel 21, co-operating with a pointer 25, shows which character is in position beneath the plate 24. When the plunger 15 is depressed, a toothed wheel 20 engages with a fixed stop 28 and locks the wheel 19. The carriage 4 is advanced for letter-spacing by a spring drum 6, its motion being controlled by a rack 9 carried by a spindle 10 which is journaled in endpieces on the frame 1. The rack is engaged by a fixed dog 29 and a movable dog 30. The dog 30 is pivoted to the plunger 15, and its motion in one direction is limited by an incline 33, Fig. 7, which engages with an incline on the fixed dog 29. The motion of the dog 30 is limited to one or two letter-spaces by means of a lever 41. The rack 9 may be rocked so as to release the carriage by means of an arm on the spindle 10. Line-spacing is effected by moving the frame 1 so as to bring holes 38, Fig. 9, successively into engagement with pins 37 on a frame 36. The types are inked by a pair of rollers which are carried by spring-pressed arms pivoted to the carriage 4.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Electric Sparking Devices.
Inventor: JEFFERY JOSEPH ARTHUR
Filed: 1907-03-18
Granted: 1907-11-14
Abstract: 6498. Jeffery, J. A., and Jeffery, B. A. March 18. Gas and like engines, igniting in. Sparking- plugs are so constructed that deposition of shortcircuiting media around the terminals is either prevented or, if formed, is removed by the normal discharge of the igniting-current. The exposed area of one of the terminals is so small that the fouling-matter collected between them is insufficient to carry the current without becoming heated to the point of disintegration. The insulation A, Fig. 1, is securely held in the shell 2 by the gland 4, and carries a copper conducting-rod 5 to which is joined the platinum, iridium, or like terminal 6 which is flush with the flat surface of the insulator 4 and is less than one twenty-fifth of an inch in diameter. The rod 5 makes contact with the cap at the end of the plug and serves to keep the terminal 6 cool. In the modification shown in Fig. 2. a small orifice 6<1> is substituted for the platinum terminal, so that the conductor 5<1> is exposed.

Abstract: 8938. Staples, A. F., and Potter, C. W. April 17. Filing papers &c.-Relates to an account register of the type in which a n u m b e r of bill-holding frames are pivotally arranged on a base so as to be turned like the leaves of a book. The bill frames 2 are provided at the lower corners with c o r n e r pieces 3 having attached thereto pivots 4 and pintles 5, the latter being surrounded by springs 8 to counterbalance the frames. The pivots enter ears 6 on base bars 7, the bars being connected in groups of three by lazy-tongs 9, Fig. 3, so that they can be separated as far as the slots 11 and pins 12 allow. In this open position the bars 7 fit into slots in supports 19, but they are closed up when the frames are removed to a safe &c. A spring catch 22 enters a slot 21 and holds the bars in the closed position. The bill holder comprises two clips 31, 32, the bills for the current day being placed under the clip 31 only and other bills under both clips. The sides of the cabinet are hinged to the back and are utilized to support the index sheets, and a frame 37 sliding in the back of the cabinet and pushed up by springs 39, unless held by a catch 40, is also used for this purpose. To reduce the friction when two or more frames are turned at once, rollers 29 are journaled on the upper portions of each alternate leaf.

Filed: 1908-05-12
Granted: 1909-05-06
Abstract: 10,326. Darrow, H. W., and Blake, W. F. May 12. Washing- machines.- Relates to rotary machines and consists mainly in certain constructional details in connexion with the rotating metal cylinder 19 and its door 28, and the method of attachment of the legs of the outer casing. The cylinder has its perforations eyeleted with brass, and its ends are strengthened by cast rings 21 connected to the hub by radial arms 21<a>. One of the rings may be provided with pins 39 which are engaged by a pinion 40 on the driving-shaft 41. Pivoted clothes-lifters 25 are mounted to oscillate between stops 26 on arms 24 which extend between the rings 21 and the peripheries of the heads. In a modified construction, the lifters are fixed radially and assist in reinforcing the parts. The door 28 is dished and has curled longitudinal edges, one of which serves for pivoting the door on trunnions 30 projecting inwardly from the end door frames 31, Fig. 4. These frames are attached to the heads of the cylinder and have inner flanges 31<b> forming rests for the door, and outer flanges 31<a> which project over the edges of the heads. The peripheral edges 34 of the cylinder bordering the doorway are curled, and at their ends rest in recesses 32 in the door frames 31. The door handles 35 are fixed to the door at one end, but their other extremities 36 pass loosely through slots in the door so that by suitable manipulation the door may be opened or shut by being bent so as to allow its beaded edge 33 to spring past the adjacent edge 34. The trough 3 in which the cylinder rotates is carried by a frame 2 mounted on angular legs 7. Mouldings 12 of sheet metal are bent over the edge of the trough and are received by seats provided in the legs. The corners of the frame 2 are covered by the flanged tops 11 of the legs, Fig. 8, which are secured in position by countersunk thimbles 15 and screws 17. The cover 4 of the apparatus is hinged at one end and has a hinged portion 4<a> which may be turned back to expose the soap box 5. When the cylinder is in the loading position, the door 28 may be thrown back and its edge 33 or lugs 38 caused to engage the beaded hinged edge of the cover 4 in order to hold the cylinder stationary. The soap box 5 is pivoted at 5<b> so that it may be turned up to permit removal of the cylinder.

Granted: 1909-04-08
Abstract: 26,837. Maschinenfabrik R. Conrad. Aug. 11, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Internal gauges; calliper and like gauges &c.- Gauges of various kinds, produced by the employment of accurately-ground steel balls, are used instead of the ordinary cylindrical gauges and calliper gauges provided with fixed jaws. The balls are preferahly provided with holders and may be employed separately or in groups of two or three, thus forming internal gauges as shown in Figs. 2, 8, and 9, or a series of gauges as shown in Figs. 3 and 3<a>. They may be ground flat at one part to receive a suitable inscription. When used in the construction of calliper gauges, Figs 4 and 11, the balls function as distance-pieces either with or without an additional parallel - sided distance-piece such as n, and may be of slightly different sizes in order to form approximating- gauges. Several other forms of gauge are described, together with means for holding the balls and for adjusting the gauge.
