Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Horse Shoe Nails.
Inventor: KNIGHT ALFRED WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-12-29
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 28,309. Knight, A. W. Dec. 29. Nails.-Horse-shoe nails of the kind described in Specification No. 19,734, A.D. 1904, are improved by so shaping the nail that it is not thicker nearer the point than nearer the head. For this purpose the outside of the nail is made with a convex surface b and cutting-edges c, Fig. 2, near the head. Fig. 4 shows the nail in longitudinal section. The inner surface a is concave as heretofore, and the outer surface may be flat instead of convex. Fig. 6 shows a form of nail with the head specially shaped for frost-shoeing.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Ball Grinding Machines.
Inventor: HIRTH CARL ALBERT
IPC: B24B11/06
Filed: 1909-01-12
Granted: 1909-05-06
Abstract: 743. Hirth, C. A. Jan. 12. B a l l s, shaping a n d surfacing.-In machines in which the balls are ground in grooves between two disks, and in which the balls are removed from t h e grooves mixed together, and returned to the grooves owing to gaps in the track, the balls are fed back to the grooves with a velocity corresponding to the velocity of the disks. Fig. 1 illustrates a device in which this velocity is imparted by allowing the balls to fall from the requisite height. The balls e are removed from the grooves s by a channel g, which is situated in a gap f in the stationary wheel a ; the channel discharges the balls into a receptacle i, in which they are mixed and from which they are raised to the feed-channel h. Fig. 2 illustrates a device in which the velocity is imparted to the balls e by a mechanical device, such as a quickly-running belt k, situated in the return feed - channel l, the balls being removed by a channel g. Fig. 7 shows a device in which the grinding-disks are horizontal, the balls being fed back from a hopper s through tubes t which lead to the various concentric grooves, the velocity being imparted by a rotating roller u having grooves to lead the balls to the tubes t. The device may be applied to spirally grooved disks as well as those having concentric grooves. The movement of the balls may be accelerated upon leaving the grooves.

Abstract: 8817. Holz, C. April 14. Exhibitions, scenic. - An amusement device which consists of an apartment arranged to resemble the interior of a railway carriage is oscillated to produce an illusion of rapid motion, and panoramic views or suitable scenery are moved past the sides of the apartment. The apartment a, Fig. 2, is supported on rollers e which rest on cams f mounted on a rotating shaft g. The cams f are moved axially by wedges k and springs n to bring different parts of their peripheries under the rollers c. Grooves p formed on the face of each cam produce an oscillation of the car and rhythmic sounds similar to those produced by contact between the wheels of a railway carriage and the rail joints. The apartment may also be oscillated by setting the rollers e eccentrically on their axles. By the sides of the apartment, black cloths q, Fig. 4, to represent the interior of a tunnel, travel between rollers r and are provided at intervals with apertures through which the scenery is viewed. The scenery consists of back cloths u and cut cloths s which travel between rollers, and statues, models, or other objects arranged on movable cars w.

Title: An Improved Printing Block and Method of Producing the same.
Inventor: CARLSEN HJALMAR
IPC: B41C3/06
Filed: 1909-06-26
Granted: 1910-06-23
Abstract: 14,971. Garlsen, H. June 26. Printing - surfaces. - In a process of making printing-plates of celluloid or the like, a matrix is made by heating a lead plate to within a few degrees of its melting-point, and pressing thereon the original plate heated to a slightly higher temperature. Printing - plates are then produced by pressing sheets of celluloid backed with a perforated metal plate on to the matrix thus formed. In the making of the matrix, one of the metal plates, supporting respectively the metal plate and the original, may be curved so that pressure is first applied towards the centre. In the preparation of the lead matrix, the forme only may be heated, the lead placed on a sheet of asbestos being heated sufficiently by transmission from the forme.

Granted: 1910-08-02
Abstract: 17,778. Buren, C. J. van, Krupp, L. A., and Herman & Co. July 30. Digging - apparatus. - A ditching- machine is provided with a steering- wheel, an open-centre ditching-wheel and traction wheels, mounted in the order named on a supporting-frame, the ditching-wheel being broader than the traction wheels so that these travel in the cut made by the ditching-wheel. The machine is provided with a side levelling-wheel, a side sloping,attachment, and means for rendering the cutting-mechanism inoperative should the excavator encounter an immovable obstacle. The frame a, b supporting the main portion of the machine is adjustable up or down by means of a rack t and pinion u worked from the shaft 9 through reversing-gear 6. The rack t is attached to the frame of the steering- wheel, which may be positively rotated by an auxiliary engine j supplied with steam from the boiler c. The main ditching-wheel 10 is driven from the engine f, and discharges the earth &c. on to a conveyer 11 passing through its centre, which carries the earth to aprons on each side of the machine ; or a separate conveyer, passing through the ditching-wheel and adjustable vertically and laterally, may be employed. The traction wheels 30<a> are driven through differential gearing from the main engine f, so that, by operating bandbrakes by the lever 68 one wheel may be caused to revolve faster than the other and thus assist in steering the machine. The side levelling-wheel 30, Fig. 4, which may be driven by a reversible system of shafts and bevel-gearing from the main engine, can be adjusted by the rack 18 and pinion 19 driven from the worm 24 ; this wheel also assists the traction wheels and the steering-mechanism. The side sloping-wheel 78 having cutters 79 is driven indirectly from the main ditching-wheels, and can be adjusted by the stays 73, 77 to cut a slope of any angle.
