Granted: 1905-10-12
Abstract: 11,904. Smith, E. June 7. Desks.-A writing-table for use in handwriting by the blind, or nearly blind, comprises an ordinary form of desk with hinged lid, near the left edge of which is secured a toothed rack presenting edges easily perceptible to the touch. A bridge 2, with end rails 3, is adapted to slide over the writing-paper, which is laid in a recessed part of the top and held by a spiked gripper 6. The lines of writing are determined by the position of the adjustable bridge, the upper edge of which coincides with each tooth in turn. To resume writing at the place where it was discontinued, a peg 8 is provided for maintaining the bridge in its last position. In a modification, the bridge may have two rails on the side next to the rack, and a third rail on the other side.

Granted: 1907-06-06
Abstract: 13,471. George, W. J. June 12. Spring balances.-A spring balance, which registers either in compression or in tension, has a tube 2, Figs. 1 and 2, containing a sprmg 7 sliding in a tube 3 containing a spring 8. The inner ends of the springs are attached to a peg 5 in the inner tube, the other ends being attached to links 9, 10 moving on pegs 11, 12 at the ends of the outer tube.

Patent GB-190618230-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Record Strip Composing Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1906-08-14
Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 18,230. Boult, A. J., [Lanston Monotype Machine Co.]. Aug. 14. Monotype &c. machines.-Relates to detachable and interchangeable stop-bar and coupling arrangements for change of fount or lay-out, in recordstrip perforators such as described in Specification No. 18,638, A.D. 1899. (1) The stop-bars 10, Figs. 1 and 3, are supported and guided between a back-stop 13 on the units-rack carrier frame and a detachable housing 14, provided with distancepieces 15 and lateral extensions 16 fitted to guides on the units-rack carrier frame. A spring and stopscrew are provided for adjustment, as described in Specification No. 15,650, A.D. 1906. Instead of entering the path of the units-rack 8 on the upward movement, the stop-bars 10 enter on the downward movement, and hence are cut away or notched, as shown at 11, for the passage of the units-rack, and provided with an overhang 12 for intercepting the units-rack. The stop-bars 10 cooperate with levers 19 pivoted on a rod 20 carried by a frame 21, detachably secured beneath the frame 22 of the line-measuring mechanism. In order to afford a wider support, a cross-bar 23, resting at the ends in seats in the main frame, is bolted to the frame 21. (2) The first lever 19 for the justification signal is directly connected to its punch bar 5 as usual, but the other levers 19 have separable connexions 26, 27, Figs. 3 and 4, comprising a coupling-unit, and are received and guided between plates 24 on the frame 21. The connexions 26, 27 are carried in a frame or casing 25, fitting at the lower end between the vertical faces of the frame 21 and retained in position by a spring latch. The connexions are guided at the lower ends by plates 29 and at the upper ends in slots 30 in a cross-piece 31, which is also preferably provided with bevelled projections to enter between the punch bars 5 and assist in alining the punch bars and connexions. The levers 19 are received in open seats 33 in the connexions. In the case of the connexions 26 for single transmission, the punch bars are engaged by an angular offset 34 fitting in a notch 35 so that the connexion moves with the punch bar in both directions. In the case of the connexions 27 for multiple transmission, the offset 34 is expanded.laterally and is narrower than the notches 35, the return movement of the connexions being effected by springs 36. The crosspiece 31 might be interchangeabe, but it is preferred to have a separate frame 25 for each coupling-unit, and to provide an indicating-plate thereon showing the allocation of units.
Patent GB-190619926-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Stockings, and Socks, and Means Employed in their Manufacture.
Inventor: ROBINSON ARTHUR
Filed: 1906-09-07
Granted: 1907-08-22
Abstract: 19,926. Robinson, A. Sept. 7. Knitted fabrics ; circular knitting- machines.-Relates to the production of stockings and socks of the kind known as " cut goods," with the heel &c. turned by one or a succession of partial courses 2 of tuck-stitches in imitation of the " Niantic heel." The tuckwork may extend round one-half of the stocking or be situated on opposite sides thereof. The toe pouch may be similarly formed, or an ordinary cut and seamed toe may be used. The heel, foot-bottom, and toe may be all of tuckwork, or they may be formed separately and subsequently united to a leg portion, which may be ribbed. The fabric is made on a loop-wheel frame, provided with mechanism controlled by hand or otherwise for moving a tuckpresser 13 towards or from the needles. A cam, Fig. 7, with projections 15, 28, is attached to the rotary needle-cylinder and operates concurrently a pawl-driving arm 27 and a lever 19 engaging the sliding tuck-presser spindle 14. The pawl 26 rotates step by step a cam 24 supporting an arm 23. The low portions of the cam 24 determine the number of consecutive tuckwork courses. When a high portion is uppermost, a piece 21 slidable on the lever 19 is shifted to the position shown and out of contact with the cam 15 by a link 22. A spring 17 then withdraws the tuck-presser from the needles. Whilst the leg and foot-bottom is being knitted, the pawl-driving arm 27 is held out of action by a weighted bell-crank 31. When tucking is to commence, a swivel-plate 34, attached to the knitted web, engages a tappet 35 and depresses a rod 37 standing on a pin 38 on the bell-crank 31, which then swings clear of the pin 32, and allows a spring to draw the arm 27 against the cam 28. At the first backward movement of the lever 19, a pin 40 on a side-piece 39 rocks a lever 41, which in turn pushes the rod 37 off the pin 38. The bell-crank thus freed is prevented from with - drawing the arm 27 from action by the lever 23, which bears on a pin 43 on the horizontal arm of the bell-crank. When the lever 23 is elevated by a high portion of the cam 24, the bell-crank 31 is released, and the lower inclined end comes under the pin 32 and withdraws the arm 27 from action.
