Title: Improvements in Stethoscopes.
Inventor: TESKE CARL AUGUST
IPC: A61B7/02
Filed: 1909-03-01
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 4993. Teske, C. A. March 1. Stethoscopes.- The contact piece a of a stethoscope is mounted in the centre of a rubber disk c so that the instrument forms a stethonoscope which can be transformed into an ordinary stethoscope by s l i g h t pressure on the c o n t a c t piece, whereby it is brought into contact with the metal ring f. Mounted within the stethonoscope sound-box e is a phonoscope comprising a second sound-box n carrying a diaphragm m to which is attached a contact plug l. The phonoscope with its soundtube p is slidably mounted within the stethonoscope, and is normally held out of action by a barrel-shaped spring u. Apertures in the tubes p, h put the ear-tubes k into communication with whichever sound-box is in operation, and cut off communication with the one out of action. The cap p<1> of the tube p is provided with an aperture v which can be more or less covered by the thumb to regulate the intensity of the sound. Contact pieces in the shape of a convex disk, or as shown in Fig. 4, may be attached to the plug l of the phonoscope.

Abstract: 5715. Budde, C. C. L. G., and Robertson, W. March 9. Fatty acids and glycerine, obtaining by decomposing fats and fatty oils; fatty acids, purifying; glycerine, purifying.-Oils and fats are hydrolized by mechanically agitating them in an autoclave with water and sulphurous acid gas under pressure. The sulphurous acid may be introduced in the liquid condition to the cooled autoclave. According to the Provisional Specification, the sulphurous acid converts some of the oleic acid into elaidic acid and exerts a bleaching and deodorizing action; and the sulphurous acid may be employed in aqueous solution, or evolved from combination with, or solution in, substances such as sulphuric acid, camphor, acetic acid, or sulphuryl chloride.

Inventor: WATSON CECIL
IPC: B61G9/04
Filed: 1909-03-13
Granted: 1909-12-09
Abstract: 6083. Watson, C. March 13. Combined buffer and draw gear.-A combined buffing and draw bar is formed with flats adapted to engage a slot in the headstock or buffer-spring socket to prevent rotation about a longitudinal axis, and the coupler head is pivoted to swing in a vertical or horizontal direction, the slot being arranged to allow the draft bar to swing in a direction at right-angles. The whole gear is centralized by initiallystressed draw and buffer springs h, c, arranged in sockets g, f respectively, at opposite sides of the headstock. In the form shown, the flats a<1>, a2 and the slot b in the spring socket f are horizontal, the slot being long enough to allow horizontal movement of the draft-bar a, while the coupler head is pivoted to swing vertically. In a modification, the slot and flats are vertical and the coupling swings horizontally. In cases where lateral movement only of the coupling is required, the flats may be horizontal and the coupling arranged to swing horizontally.

Granted: 1910-02-24
Abstract: 12,131. Lake, W. E., [Schenck, Eisengiesserei und Maschinenfabrik Darmstadt Ges., C.]. May 22. Printed records, apparatus for giving.-A steelyard which prints the weight on a ticket inserted in the machine is provided with a locking-device whereby the weight can only be printed after the poise weights have been adjusted to the position of equilibrium. Fig. 4 is a cross - section through the fulcrum bearing f of the steelyard a, showing three sliding poises b connected to gearing d and traversed in known manner by rotating the shafts d1. The steelyard and poises are enclosed in a casing c, and the ticket k, on which the weight is printed is thrust through a slot i in the fulcrum-bearing f so as to rest on the figured tops of'the poises b, so that, on operating a printing-lever l, the weight is impressed upon the ticket. A hand-operated slide y covers the slot i, and carries bars h which are adapted,. when the slide is lowered, to engage notches in the poises b and in plates m attached to the steelyard, thus locking the whole during the printing-operation. This engagement of the notches can however take place only when the steelyard is horizontal, that is, in equilibrium. The descent of the slide g to the locked position brings a slot in the slide opposite to the slot i and permits the insertion of the ticket.

Abstract: 11,214. Beskow, K. J. May 10, 1910, [Convention date]. Mills and apparatus. - In apparatus such as that described in Specifications 20,466/07, [Class 1, Acids, alkalies, &c.], and 4494/09, [Class 1 (iii), Oxides &c.], for discharging superphosphate chambers in which the material is cut from the lateral surface of the heap, the dragging of the superphosphate over the floor of the chamber is avoided by causing it to fall upon conveying-apparatus connected to and sharing in the feed-motion of the cutters. The material falling from the cutters 5, Fig. 1, rotating about a shaft 2 falls upon an annular plate 7, which rotates beneath a scraper 9 over the discharge opening 13, scoops 8 carrying knives 12 being preferably provided to clear the space below the plate 7.

In a modification, Fig. 4, the material detached by horizontal cutters 30 carried by endless chains 28 falls upon an endless band conveyer 36, from which it falls through a shoot 40 to the discharge opening. The cutting and conveying mechanism moves around the shaft 14. In another modification, Fig. 6, vertical scoops 41 moving on endless chains 42 have hinged bottom plates 48 attached to links 50 having rollers 51 working in a guide 52. The superphosphate block on a movable plate 54 is pressed against the cutters, and each plate 48, on arriving over the discharge opening 13, is opened owing to the guide 52 being downwardly inclined at that part.

Abstract: 18,043. Davey, A. J., and Mills Equipment Co. Aug. 9. Fashioned fabrics.-A woven fabric of uniform thickness and having wide and narrow parts formed with selvedges is woven two-ply, the lateral warps adjacent to the narrow portions B, Fig. 3, being floated and afterwards cut away. The two plies are bound together by binding-threads except over the area F-F, D-D, where they are left separate, so that the raw edge may be tucked between them and sewn in position by stitches G. A gradual decrease in the width of the fabric may be obtained by dropping the warp threads successively instead of simultaneously. Pieces of material each consisting of a broad part with a narrow part at each end may be woven side by side, as indicated in Fig. 6, in a loom having more than one shuttle. Instead of floating the lateral warp threads, small parallel strips of material may be woven by the use of additional shuttles.
