Patent GB-190720222-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Drawing Sheet Glass
Filed: 1907-09-10
Granted: 1908-03-12
Abstract: 20,222. Marks, B. C. R., [Colburn, I. W.]. Sept. 10. Drawing; cutting glass.-Relates to modifications of the details of the apparatus described in Specification No. 18,663, A.D. 1906. The drawn sheet passes from the conveyer 19, Fig. 2, on to a number of parallel sprocket-chains 110 running on sprocket-wheels 115, 113. A further set of chains 111 carries the sheet on to a stationary cutting- table T, Fig. 16, where it is cut into lengths by a ruler 156 and a diamond. The ruler is moved forward at the same speed as the sheet by stops 155 fixed at intervals to chains 153, which are driven at the same speed as the sheet. In a modification, the stationary cutting-table is replaced by a conveyer similar to 19, mentioned above, and the ruler is placed against stops on the conveyer. To facilitate the commencement of the drawing operation, the conveyer 19 is fitted with reversing-gear so that the bait, after being lowered through a hole 108, may be conveyed readily to the working tank 2. The gear which drives the rollers 5 and also that which drives the rotating bodies 7 are fitted with change-speed mechanism so that the speed of the rollers 5 and of the bodies 7 may be varied independently of the speed of other parts of the machine. The sides of the tank 2, Fig. 6, are recessed at 145 for the reception of the rotating bodies. 7 and their shafts 49. Burners 146 are arranged to direct heat upon the shaft 49 to prevent the accumulation of hardened glass. Fig. 17 shows automatic means for moving the end of the hook 158 of .refractory material, mentioned in the Specification referred to above, in the path shown by dotted lines. The lever 161, carrying the hook 158, is suspended by an adjustable link 163, and its outer end is moved in a circular path by a crank-pin 166, fixed to a disk 167 formed with a toothed sector 168, which meshes with a uniformly-driven pinion 174. At the moment when the pinion 174 ceases to engage the sector 168, a toothed sector 175, fixed upon the same shaft as the pinion 174, comes into engagement with a pinion 171 on the same shaft as the disk 167. A fast and slow motion is thus given to the crankpin 166, which causes the hook 158 to dip rapidly beneath the surface of the molten metal and to move rapidly while well below the surface, but to move slowly when near the drawing point.

Title: Improvements in Safety Razors.
Inventor: REED RICHARD HENRY
Filed: 1908-08-04
Granted: 1908-11-26
Abstract: 16,455. Reed, R. H. Aug. 4. Razors, safety. The holder is arranged to hold the blade by its end only, the blade being inserted or removed by an endwise movement and no parts having to be removed or adjusted for this purpose ; also the opposite cutting edges of the blade are differently positioned with respect to their co-operating guard edges so as to give two degrees of shaving. The reversible double-edged blade 19 has lugs 32, 33, which enter grooves 26, 27 respectively in the end wall 13 of the trough-shaped holder 19, and lugs 30, 31 which enter grooves 22, 23 respectively in the end wall 12. A spring 34 is secured at the end 13, and the blade is inserted in the holder by directing the lugs 32, 33 into the groove 26, 27 against the action of the spring 34, the greater depth of the grooves 26, 27 permitting endwise movement of the blade, so that the lugs 30, 31 can enter the grooves 22, 23, and the spring then holds the blade in position against the walls of these grooves. Finger-lugs 41,42, on the blade enter spaces in the end walls of the holder, and recesses or openings in the blade may be provided for the reception of the spring 34. The grooves in the end walls of the holder may be open-ended in which case the lugs 30, 31, 32, 33 may be dispensed with. The bottom of the grooves 26, 27 are lower than those of the grooves 22, 23 and at the end 13 of the holder the blade rests on two projections 37, 38, on the guards, Fig. 14, so that the guard 15 projects further from and is further below the blade edge 17 than the guard 16 projects from and is below the edge 18. The face angle is the same for both edges, but the edge 17 gives a closer shave than the edge 18. A stem 52, carrying a head and transverse arms 57, is fixed in a tubular handle 50 and passes through a spring- controlled slid able sleeve 51, and the holder has a slot 59, which allows the passage of the arms 57 when the sleeve is pressed into the handle. When the handle is turned so that the arms lie across the slot 59 and the sleeve is released, the holder is clamped to the handle as shown ; and notches 65, 66 may be provided to secure the holder in its extreme positions.

Abstract: 25,854. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. Dec. 11, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Working by unclassified operations.-Filaments of tungsten or the like, for electric lamps, are made by galvanically or chemically coating the powdered refractory metal with a ductile metal such as gold, silver, nickel, copper, or platinum, and then, without fusion, working it into filaments from which the ductile metal is subsequently expelled by passage of an electric current in a vacuum. The coated powder may be worked up by pressing or preferably by rolling and optionally beating, and may then be drawn. Or it may be stamped into a tube of ductile metal such as tantalum and drawn or rolled, as described in Specification No. 4814, A.D. 1907, the tube being subsequently removed chemically, mechanically, or by fusion. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the use of a mixture of refractory and ductile metal powder and the amalgamation of the coated powder by dipping it in mercuric chloride solution. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.
