Granted: 1909-04-01
Abstract: 22,743. Jaek, C. Nov. 2, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Stone, artificial; stone, preserving.-In a machine for printing on wallpaper, wax cloth, and linoleum the printing-rollers are formed of artificial stone. The rollers are formed of layers of varying hardness, so that the raw product can be easily turned in a lathe, and the finished product can be easily engraved and hardened ; the core proper is of a harder material. The roll consists of three layers a, b, c, of which the core c is formed of lime-sandstone, and the layer b is made softer by the admixture of sawdust. The outer layer a contains more sawdust, and is easily removed in a lathe. The layer b, when turned true, is engraved, and is then hardened by being coated with cement to which is applied powdered porcelain or metal powder, and the roll is then heated in a stove. When a new pattern is to be applied, the outer layer is removed by heat, and the roll b is turned in a lathe.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Dealing Playing Cards.
Inventor: MURCH GEORGE
Filed: 1908-11-02
Granted: 1908-12-31
Abstract: 23,371. Murch, G. Nov. 2. Card games.-Relates to automatic card-dealing machines of the type described in Specifications No. 21,206; A.D. 1904, and No. 15,146, A.D. 1907, and consists in providing means for varying the pressure between the cards and the rotary dealerroll; means for keeping the dealing-roll in working condition, and gearing for enabling the number of " hands delivered to be varied. The apparatus consists of a base 1 supporting a pivot on which the dealer 2 rotates. The dealer-roll 6 is mounted on a shaft 7 which rotates a shaft 22 carrying a pinion 17. The pinion may be moved along the shaft so as to engage one or the other of a series of circular racks 18 according to the number of "hands" required to be dealt. The cards are placed on a holder 9, which slides vertically on guide-rods 10 and is pressed upwards towards the dealer-roll by springs 11. These springs encircle the guide-rods, and are ronnned between the holder 9 and nuts 13 adjustable on the guide-rods. By turning these nuts, the force with which the cards are pressed against the dealer-roll may be varied should the cards not be dealt at proper intervals. To prevent the dealing of more than one card at a time, a gauge 14, which may be adjusted in a vertical direction by means of a screw 26, is mounted on a cross-bar 15 attached to the frame 2. The gauge is made narrow to act only on the centre portion of the cards so that, if the corners of the cards are bent or thickened, the working of the machine is not affected. The dealer-roll is encircled by a narrow band of rubber 6a which is corrugated in order to secure a better grip on the cards. A wiper 32, consisting of a strip of sheet rubber, is secured to the frame 2 and rests against the dealer-roll. The wiper frees the surface of the roll from dust and keeps it in working condition. In using the machine, the cards are placed in the holder and the frame 2 is rotated by the handle 5. The dealer-roll is rotated and feeds the top card past the gauge, the interval between successive deliveries being regulated by the position of the pinion 17 on the shaft 22. In a modification, the dealer-roll is barrel-shaped, and the card-holder and gauge are curved to correspond. This arrangement tends to neutralize the curvature of the cards produced by the players bending the pack.

Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 17,558. Hoyois, L. July 28. Dressing.-In a machine for cutting and trueing-up grindstones &c., in which a cutting- tool is reciprocated, a slide simultaneously reciprocated engages a stud controlling wheels which effect the forwarding of the stone, the form of the slide controlling the spacing and inclination of the different cuts. A carriage 4 carrying a tool 8 and a slide 9 is reciprocated by means of a crank disk 6 and connecting-rod 5. The slide engages a stud 12 keyed on a shaft 13. When the profile of the slide is inclined, the shaft 13 is rotated, the motion being transmitted through a clutch 18, 27, and gearing 28, 30 to wheels 15. The wheels 15 are mounted in a yoke 17 pivoted on the shaft 13, and are pressed against the stone 2 by weights 17<a>. Rotation of the wheels 15 is thus transmitted to the stone, and an inclined cut is obtained. When the stud 12 engages the ends of the slide, the stone is forwarded for the next cut. As the tool 8 then returns to the side of the stone, cam-surfaces 26 act through a bell-crank lever 22 and a rod 20 to move the sliding clutch-member 18. Return of the stone is thus prevented, and spacing of the cuts is effected. In a modification, pawls 37, 38, Fig. 4, act through oppositely - cut ratchet-wheels to actuate the shaft 13, spacing being obtained by the pawl 38 being disengaged by contact with projections 42.. The machine may be arranged to cut the sides of the stone. Two sets of cuts crossing each other may be taken ; or, by taking cuts near together, an even abrasive surface may be obtained.
