Abstract: 22,825. Marsh, G. H., and Morss, S. B. Oct. 6. Embossing; overlays.-Relates to a method of simultaneously embossing and printing wherein the type impression or part thereof is made on the raised embossed material. The type 1 is set within a brass rule 2, and the forme having been placed in the press, impressions are taken on a piece of stout cardboard A, on the tympan sheet and on a piece of stout paper. The card A is then cut out within the impression of the rule and the card so cut is placed behind the forme lifting the brass rule &c. above type height. The part removed is stuck on to the corresponding part of the tympan sheet.

A relief passage controlled by a valve t connects the receiver space with the inlet. Oil is forced by the delivery pressure through channels in the casing leading from below the level of oil in the receiver to the main bearings. The oil passes from the main bearings to the spaces behind the piston vanes, and thence through passages z in the vanes and through the ports h back to the receiver. The shaft is packed by a hat-leather gland. The gland 2, Fig. 5, may be used, in which a spring-pressed bush 5 keeps the leather in contact with the shaft. The piston vanes are kept in contact with the cylinder walls by a pair of loose rings which engage the inner ends of the vanes.

Abstract: 11,375. Crosse, A. F. May 7. Mills and apparatus for fine. grinding ores &c. specially appli cable for reducing auriferous sands comprises a rotary cylinder or shell 1 a n d an axiallyreciprocated roller or muller 19 ro. tated by contaci with the shell. The cylinder is fitted with runners or rails 4 resting on flanged wheels 5, and is driven by a belt &c. kept in position by angleirons 9, 10. The shaft 20, to which the muller is secured by pieces 21, runs in bearings 24, 25, which have. projections 26 adapted to move in vertical grooves in the brackets 27 to allow the shaft to rise and fall, and helical springs 28a may be arranged beneath the bearings. A cylindrical head 45 on the end of the shaft 20 fits in a recess formed between the halves of a block 44, which is attached to the link 43 of a toggle actuated by a rod 40 from a crank-shaft 34 driven by bevel-gearing 32, 33 from the shaft 6 of one of the supporting- wheels 5. The axis of the muller may be in the same vertical plane as the axis of the shell, or towards one side thereof, and the muller may have a renewable shell and be weighted or loaded. The pulp or sand and water &c. is fed in through an opening 12 in an annular piece 11 riveted to the end of the shell. The outlet end of the shell is partly closed by an annular piece 13, to which a ring 15 with a conical flange 16 is fixed. The pulp passes over the flange 16 into a launder 17, and a guard 48 prevents the pulp from being thrown outwards. By replacing the detachable ring 18 on the ring 15 by another ring of greater or lesser width, the level of the outflow can be regulated.

Abstract: 11,667. Williams, J. P. May 11. Burglar alarms.-A protective cable for use in a burglar and fire-alarm system comprises a thermally-sensitive core-portion and an exterior portion which gives an alarm if the cable is cut. A central wire 1 embedded in fusible metal 2 is separated by insulation 3 from a tubular or coiled conductor 4. This is covered by insulation 5, on which is wound a six-wire stranded cord 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 covered by a shellac or other frangible insulating layer 12. The cable may be enclosed in a flexible or armour conduit 14. Insulating-material which fuses or burns at a low temperature is employed in the cable. The wires 1 and 6, 4 and 7, 8 and 9, 10 and 11, respectively, are connected in parallel, by which means finer wires can be employed. If, by cutting the cable, or by piercing the walls p of the bell-housing or vault lining, or by the action of heat, the wires 1 or 6 and 4 or 7 are connected, a circuit is closed from the battery 15 through the relay 21, which closes at 0 a circuit over wires 10, 11 to electric bell-ringing mechanism 17 and back over wires 1, 6 to the battery 15. There is also a normally live circuit from the battery 16 through wires 8, 9 and the magnet 18, returning over wires 1, 6. If this circuit is interrupted, the bell is rung by clock-work mechanism 19.

Granted: 1911-05-18
Abstract: 12,262. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. May 18. Work-supports.-Relates to work supporting and controlling mechanisms of fastener-inserting machines, and consists in the provision of a single treadle to control the main movements of the horn into work-receiving and workclamping positions, and also the starting and stopping of the insertion of fasteners. The horn release mechanism comprises a toggle 168, 170, Fig. 2, pivotally connected to a slide 162, which is normally pressed downwards by a spring 164 of sufficient strength to hold the horn in work-clamping position during the insertion of the fasteners. The knee of the toggle is connected to cam mechanism on the main shaft which, at the proper time, breaks the toggle and effects the drop of the horn for the feed. According to the present invention, the rod 454 that throws the starting and stopping of the clutch on the main shaft into gear, and the mechanism for initially straightening the toggle 168, 170, are controlled from a single spring-controlled treadle lever 3, Fig. 4, the rear end of which is connected to the rod 454 by a telescopic lost-motion device 452, 456, while the forward end is connected by a two-part adjustable link 480, Figs. 2 and 4, to an arm 478 projecting from a lifting-cam 476. This cam is adapted to engage a roll 482 mounted upon the underside of a two-part lever 464, 468, which is pivoted at one end to the link 170 of the toggle 168, 170, and pivotally and slidably connected at its other end to the lower end of the horn post 174. The two parts of the lever 464, 468 are arranged so that, when the treadle is depressed to turn the lifting-cam 476, they are made to form a rigid lever turning about a central pivot 458; but when the cam is in the position shown in Fig. 2, the part 468 can move under the action of gravity relatively to the part 464, causing the horn to be lowered into work-receiving position. A lost-motion device between the link 480 and arm 478 prevents this movement from taking place too quickly after the release of the treadle. Specification 9694/09 is referred to.
