Abstract: 11,401. Sibley, C. E. May 13. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Razors.-Relates to a device for holding the blades of safety razors and the like during stropping, of the type in which the blade is positioned and locked between hinged jaws by the engagement of the jaws, upon an axial movement, with a slot provided in a tubular spring or handle. The jaws a, normally pressed together by the cylindrical spring f, encircle a rod b, secured to a handle carrying a cap d which has one or more radial slots d<1> into which the edges of the closed jaws a pass under the action of a spring e, preferably acting on a washer e<1>, thus locking the jaws in position ; or the jaws may be engaged with the slot d by hand. The rod b carries a cam c which, on the rotation of the rod. causes the separation of the jaws. Stops for limiting the opening of the jaws may be provided on the cap d; or a pin c<1> on the cam c may be adapted to engage a slot a' in one of the jaws. The cam c, when integral with the rod, is formed by drawing-out the rod at one side.

Abstract: 12,648. Royston, E. R., [American Granite Saw Co.]. May 24. Sawing; sand, grit, and the like, feeding to machines; tools.-In stone-sawing m achines having a series of alined oscillating- cutters which cut successively deeper kerfs, means are provided for adjusting the cutters to cut stones of different thickness, to bring them into alinement, and to vary their lengths. The cutter heads A carrying cutters J are pivoted on shafts B in a braced frame 11, and are oscillated by a pitman H from a crank-shaft E. At the ends of the frame 11 are brackets 12, 22, through which pass a shaft 13 and pins 23 suspended from screws 15 screwing through worm-wheels 16 in brackets 17 pivoted in brackets 19. The worm-wheels are rotated from worm shafts 20 to raise or lower the ends of the frame 11 which is adjusted so that the cutter first in action just engages the top of the stone and the cutter last in action just cuts through the stone. The cutter heads A consist of two blocks bolted together on the pivot B which carries sleeves 35, 40 connected to plates 36, 41 on the head by means of screwed rods 37, 42 and nuts; by adjusting these rods the cutter heads are moved laterally into alinement with each other. The cutters J have slots 44 fitting over bolts 45, and, after adjusting the cutters, they are locked in position by blocks 46. New cutters are supplied only to the rear cutter head, each cutter being moved forward to the cutter head next in front as it wears. Abrasive material is supplied, and after leaving the cut falls on to troughs M, which guide it laterally out of the machine.

Abstract: 17,385. Ames, R. July 22. Tar macadam, plant for making.-Relates to portable or stationary apparatus of the kind described in Specifications 23,280/08 and 6680/09, and consists in providing a rotary reciprocating system for feeding and screening the road material in the drying-chamber, which system comprises a series of perforated cylindrical conveyers, for feeding the material forward prior to tarring, arranged around a pair of oppositely tapered concentric tubes, the inner of which is perforated and guides the tarred material to the rear, where it is sprinkled with the screenings from the cylindrical conveyers. In the apparatus shown in Figs 2 and 5, the rotary reciprocating system comprises a ring of cylinders 10, tapered tubes 4, 5, and elevators 14, 23. The road material is fed into a hopper 18 and conveyed by the elevator 14 to the perforated cylinders 10 which are provided with helices 38 for moving the material to the front of the apparatus, where it is received by the elevator 23 and conveyed through a tar-well 21. The tarred stones are then delivered into the inner perforated cone 5 which conducts them to the rear of the machine for application to the road, excess of tar falling through the cone 5 on to the inside of the closed cone 4 and draining back to the well through apertures in the end plate 7. The binding-matrix, screened from the road material by the cylinders 10, falls into the channels, between the cylinders 10 and the cone 4, formed by radial plates 12, and is delivered through apertures in the end plate 6 on to the tarred material that issues from the cone 5. The revolving system is mounted on roller bearings in slings 17 and rotated from a shaft 44, the slings being supported on links 41 connected with eccentrics 43 for imparting a reciprocating motion to the cones and cylinders. The tar is heated in a boiler 27 which is connected with tanks 24, 25, and which has a firebox 26, communicating with the interior by flues leading to an uptake 36, for the purpose of heating and drying the material to be tarred.

The waist edge 1 and hip edge 2 are graduated and curved, Fig. 1. To cut a paper pattern for a seven-gored skirt with a twenty-two inch waist, thirty-two inch hip, and forty-two inch length, the front edge 3 is placed along a straight edge of the paper 10, and the paper marked at the points 22, 38. A curved line corresponding to the curved edge 1 is drawn, after which the chart is removed and the points 12, 13 corresponding to the points 22, 38 are joined and the line produced to a point 14 forty-two inches from the point 12, Fig. 2. A point 11 is placed on the edge of the paper at a distance of fortytwo inches from the waist curve, and the points 11, 14 are joined by a slight outward curve Patterns for the sides and back are similarly obtained by placing the lines 5 and 6 along the straight edges of sheets of paper. The sides and back are cut in duplicates. To cut a pattern for a nine-gored skirt, the sides are cut in triplicate, the points 16, 32 being used instead of the points 22, 38. By taking suitable points on the edges 1, 2, patterns for a one, three, or five gored skirt are obtained.
