Granted: 1911-02-16
Abstract: 13,397. Morse, F. L. Jan. 28, [Convention date]. Driving and like chains without separate joint pins.-In driving- chains of the kind composed of solid links, the links are cut from a continuous rolled bar of uniform cross-section, and are connected by lateral movement only. A transverse section of the bar is shown in Fig. 6. Each link comprises a head 1 and pintle portion 2 connected by an arched-over part 3. The pintle 2 engages the socket 4 in the next link, and is placed in position by sliding only.

Abstract: 23,845. Butterworth, M., and Bickerton, C. Oct. 14. [Cognate Application, 11,634/11.] Savings boxes; sale apparatus.-Relates particularly to the money-box described in Specifications 3802/09 and 11,579/10 for collecting money for charitable purposes and delivering a card each time a coin is inserted, and consists in means for ensuring that only one card shall be delivered at each operation, and for closing the coin-slot when the cards are exhausted. Delivery mechanism.-Each time a slide a is operated, the lowest card is withdrawn by a projecting member d, which is of a height corresponding to the thickness of the thinnest card and may be adjusted in position by means of a screw d<1>. A groove a<1> is formed in the rear of the slide adjacent to the member d. A gravity or spring-controlled member l, normally closing the delivery slot, is raised by the bottom card, but serves to check the forward movement of a second card adhering to the bottom card by friction. Coin action, weight.-The inserted coin tilts a counterweighted rack h<1> from engagement with a bracket i on the slide, and a rod i' on the slide pushes the coin off its support. Coin-slit closing devices.-When the supply of cards is exhausted, a pin n on the registering- wheel r rocks a spring-controlled lever m, the curved extremity m<3> of which rocks a second lever o, which closes the coin-slot.

Patent GB-191102631-A (GB)
Title: A Machine for Artificially Lengthening the Barbs of Ornamental Feathers.
Inventor: KRIEGSMANN HANS
IPC: A41G9/00
Filed: 1911-02-01
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 2631. Kriegsmann, H. Feb. 1. Tying Or knotting. - A machine for tying the barbs of feathers comprises a rotating and vertically moving hollow cylinder having a conical head, around which the barbs, held in clamps, are wound, the ends being then pushed through the loop by a rod reciprocating in the cylinder; a pedaloperated slide serves to actuate the cylinder and rod, and to open the clamps. Mounted on a base - plate 1, Figs. 1 and 4, is a slide b adapted to be reciprocated between padded stops 15 by a pedal attached to a cord 8 and to be returned by a spring. On a vertical hollow spindle 19 fixed to the bed 1 is a sleeve 16 having a head 21 shaped as shown in Figs. 8 and 10, and rotated by a pinion 22 engaging a rack 10 on the slide 6. Revolving with the sleeve 16 is a clamp 17 adapted to hold the barbs a, b against the head 21, Fig. 8; the barbs are also held by a spring clamp 18 consisting of fixed and movable jaws 32, 33, the whole being carried by a lever 35, pivoted to a plate 36 so as to be movable toward and away from the sleeve 16. The barbs having been inserted in the position shown in Fig. 4, the pedal is operated to rotate the sleeve 16 and thus wind the barbs one turn around the upper part, thereby drawing the clamp 18 toward the sleeve against the action of a spring 34. The sleeve is then raised by the action, on a disk 23 fixed thereto, of a rocking lever 25, which is tilted by a tappet 13 carried by the slide 6. This causes the barbs to continue winding around the lower notched part of the head 21, as shown in Fig. 10, from which the clamp 17 is omitted for clearness. Rotation of the sleeve 16 now ceases, the end of the rack having passed the pinion 22, and unwinding is prevented by a spring 26 bearing on the disk 23. At the same time a tappet 19 on the slide 6 strikes the end of the lever 30, pivoted at 31, which operates to raise a rod 28 within the hollow spindle 19. Simultaneously the clamp 18 is released by a wiper 11, which engages a roller 37 carried by an extension of the movable jaw 33, thus leaving the ends of the barbs free to be pushed through the loop formed on the head 21 by the rod 28. These ends are then pulled by hand, thus knotting the loop, and finally the other ends are released by a tappet 14 which strikes the end 27 of the clamp 17. A case may be provided which covers the whole machine when not in use and, when working, leaves only the upper parts of the clamp 18 and sleeve 16 visible.
