Title: Improvements in Devices for Sharpening the Rotary Circular Knives of Meat Slicing Machines.
Inventor: BERKEL WILHELMUS ADRIANUS VAN
Filed: 1907-06-01
Granted: 1908-01-09
Abstract: 12,688. Berkel, W. A. van. June 1. Sharpening.-Relates to improvements in the device described in Specification No. 11,962, A.D. 1905, for sharpening the rotary circular knives of meat-slicing machines. Two separate sharpening- devices are used, one for each edge of the knife. The sharpener for the bevelled edge of the knife is arranged at an angle to the knife-edge and is preferably a rough emery wheel, and the sharpener for the plane face of the knife is arranged in line with the cutting-edge and may be a very fine stone, or steel disk, or a non - rotating ribbed or fluted steel sharpener. The support f, Fig. 1, for the sharpeners l, m is slidably mounted on a pin b and has a forked arm g which engages with a pin d. The sharpeners are mounted on spindles j, k, and are normally held out of contact with the knife by a spiral spring n. When the support f is depressed, the disk m is moved along its spindle k, to act on the plane edge of the knife, and the support is then locked, in position for the sharpeners to act on the knife, by devices similar to those described in the prior Specification. When a steel s', Fig. 3, is used to sharpen the plane edge of the knife, it is mounted in a socket r<6> at the end of a flat bar r' slidably mounted on an arm r on the aupport f. A spring r<5> acting against a turned-down end r<3> of the bar r<1> keeps the steel in contact with the knife.

Title: Improvements in Dough Moulding Machines.
Inventor: THOMSON CHARLES ALLEN
Filed: 1907-06-11
Granted: 1908-02-27
Abstract: 13,513. Thomson, C. A. June 11. Moulding dough.-A piece of dough is placed in a hopper 4 and passes through rollers 5, 6 to a curling-plate 9 where it is curled by means of an endless travelling band 10 ; it then passes to a revolving barrel-shaped drum 11 and is carried beneath an adjustable pressing-plate 12, from which it passes to a compression plate 13 where its length and diameter are finally adjusted, and is delivered on to a board 14. The rollers 5, 6 and the drum 11 are driven from the shaft 17 through gearing. The roller 6 is mounted in bearings 30, Fig. 9, pivoted at 31 to the shaft 17, and is adjusted relatively to the roller 5, which is mounted in fixed bearings, by means of a screw 35 threaded into a cross-bar 34 connected to the bearings 30 by links 33. A roller 16, Fig. 4, mounted upon the shaft 17, supports the upper end of the band 10 which passes at its lower end around a roller 21 carried by adjustable arms 20 pivoted to the shaft 17, so that the band can yield as the size of the dough increases. A plate 29 supported by the arms 20 stiffens the belt 10 during the curling of the dough. The curling-plate 9, Fig. 11, is pivoted at its lower end to side cheeks 15 which retain the dough ; it is supported at its upper end by means of springs attached to the side plates 15 and connected to the lower end of a depending bar 45, and is provided with a hinged front portion 48, held in position by means of a spring 49 acting on a lever 50. The pressure plate 12, Fig. 4, is supported by a lever 59, and is adjusted by means of a hand-wheel 55. During the kneading of the dough between the plate 12 and the drum 11, it is retained by side plates 61 forming extensions of the plates 15. The plate 13 extends the whole width of the drum 11 to permit of the drawing-out of the dough, and is adjusted relatively to the drum by means of pivoted levers 62, 63, which are operated by a cam 68 actuated through worm gearing by a wheel 72. To ensure the discharge of the rolled dough, a V-piece 86, 87 of resilient sheet metal is fitted to the end of the compression plate 13, one limb 86 extending between the drum and compression plate to which it is secured, and the other limb 87 resting on the delivery board 14. The limb 86 normally rests against the drum but is deflected by the piece of dough carried round by the drum, allowing the rolled dough to pass but preventing its return. The belt 10 and drum 11 are dusted with flour supplied from a receptacle 77, the supply being regulated by gates 79 controlled by eccentric handles 80. The flour falling on to the drum 11 is deflected through openings in the side plates 15 by means of guides so as to dust the ends of the roll of dough. In working slack dough, the rolling between the band 10 and plate 9 is sufficient and the drum 11 is in this case put out of gear, the dough being guided directly to the board 14 by means of a block 88, Fig. 5.

Title: Improvements in Sound Boxes for Talking Machines and the like.
Inventor: CURTEIS ARTHUR FREDERICK RUSSE
Filed: 1908-01-18
Granted: 1908-08-13
Abstract: 1194. Curteis, A. F. R. Jan. 18. [Cognate Application No. 1518, A.D. 1908, dated Jan. 22.] Phonographs &c.-The sound-box diaphragm is actuated by the sagging of a member fixed at one end to the sound box and at the other end to the stylus. The sagging wires c, c<1>, Fig. 2, are stretched and are fixed to the sound box by screws j, j<1>, to the diaphragm d by a wire f, f <1> and to the stylus by clamps or by being passed through holes in the arms m, m<1> and in the needle holder n ; the wires c, c<1> are in this case only one wire. The screws j, j<1> take into a block i of aluminium &c. fixed to the sound box, and the wire or rod f, f<1> is soldered to small washers on both sides of the diaphragm. The wire c' passes through the tube b by two holes s, which may be covered by washers of cloth, rubber, &c. The wire may be replaced by springs t, t<1>, Fig. 3, the former holding the stylus against its supports k<1>, which may be conical pins or knifeedges and may engage suitable grooves in the bar l. The stylus may, however, be held by devices not depending on the tension of the sagging member. The arms m, m<1>, Fig. 2, of the stylus are braced by a wire passing through holes q, q<1> in the boss, or passing straight through the boss, and then through holes in the arms m, m<1>, the wire ends being clamped under a screw in the bar l. This bracing may be omitted, or the wira c may be led through the arm m, the holes q, q<1>, and the arm m. <1> There are no soldered or brazed joints in the stylus, which may therefore be made of aluminium. For phonographs, the needle is replaced by a jewel or sapphire point, and the holder n may be bent out of symmetry. Any number of sagging members may be used to actuate one diaphragm ; or two or more may be used in series, the sagging of one member actuating the supports of the next. The sagging members may actuate a compressed air valve instead of a diaphragm. The sagging members are fixed centrally to the diaphragm centre, but according to the second Provisional Specification, the fixing may take place anywhere along the diaphragm or sagging member. The sagging members may be wires or thin strips of metal &c., parallel to the diaphragm. In the latter case, the spring t<1> may be dispensed with, but the wire or rod f must then withstand both tension and compression. The member may be semi-flexible and may be made of round bars a, a<1>, Fig 5, connected by a flat strip b parallel to the diaphragm and fixed by the flat strips c, d. In this case, the member may be laid between its supports without tension, according to the second Provisional Specification, it which it is also stated that the sagging members may be made of string or thread, or may be round or triangular wires. To prevent metallic ringing, a pad of cloth, rubber, &c. may bear by spring pressure or otherwise against the sagging members. Specification No. 7080, A.D. 1894, is referred to.

Title: Improvements relating to Pirn Magazines for Looms.
Inventor: WENNING JEAN CHARLES ALFRED
Filed: 1908-06-25
Granted: 1908-11-05
Abstract: 13,522. Wenning, J. C. A. June 25. Loom shuttles, changing bobbins and the like in, automatically.-The pirns are placed in clips A, Figs. 3 and 4, or A', Fig. 9, in a movable magazine or carrier E, Fig. 10, away from the loom, the carrier being then hung to a hooked plate m fixed at m<1> to the loom. The carrier is connected by bolts or otherwise to a fixed frame E<1>, along which the clips successively slide. The foremost clip engages a stop L, Fig. 6, and its pirn J bears against stops G, so that the clip is retained in position underneath the transferrer H, which feeds the pirn into the shuttle. The stop L is at the same time raised by means of a screw on the transferrer coming in contact with the tail of the lever which supports the stop, so that the next clip and pirn can slide into the correct position. The clips are provided with stops C, C', Figs. 3 and 9, which engage between two rings of the pirn and prevent it from moving longitudinally. A reserve of thread is wound off each pirn on to a nose D or D' on the corresponding clip to facilitate shuttle - threading, After this thread has been severed, the empty clip drops into one compartment of a receptacle K, and the empty pirn from the shuttle drops into the other compartment. In one form, Figs. 3 and 6, the carrier E and frame E<1> each comprise two side frames, braced together by stays and having flanges E<2> over which wire frames B<2> slide. The clips have parts B<1> bent over the frames B<2>. In a modification, the clips are formed of metal plates A<1>, Fig. 9, for gripping the pirns, riveted to plates A<2> which have catches a to slide on the wings e of the movable carrier and fixed frame. The base of the carrier has a U-shaped iron wire or stop k, Figs. 7 and 9, oscillating in supports k<1> and having a bent back end k<2> pressed upon by a leaf spring The clips have raised-up stops k<1> in addition to the raised-up noses D'. The stop k<1> on the last clip bears against the stop k, and thus prevents the escape of the clips during the transport of the carrier. For the same reason the wings e are turned up at the top of the magazine. The fixed frame E<1> is constructed in a similar manner to the carrier E, but is suitably slotted to receive the transferrer H. The frame E' has two plates e<2>, Fig. 10, riveted thereto, between which the carrier E is inserted and thus positioned. The stop k is then lifted up to free the clips in the carrier E.
