Abstract: 2837. Czeten, J. Szot-. Feb. 4. Axle-boxes.-An axle-box for railway vehicles &c. is provided with means for indicating the amount of wear of the bearing-surfaces. A scraper r, which removes oil adhering to the edge of a plate d secured to the axle, is pressed against the plate by a spring t surrounding a guide-pin s, the end of which passes through a shoulder z on the upper side of the axle-box. When the brass v is new, the pin is flush with the upper side of the shoulder z, but when the axle-box sinks owing to wear, the pin projects by a corresponding amount.

Abstract: 21,048. Soc. Barbier, Benard, et Turenne. Dec. 29, 1909, [Convention date]. Signal and vehicular lanterns; lantern shutters.-In a signalling or motor-vehicle lamp having a lens and an hyperbolic reflector for producing a divergent and a parallel beam, an aplanatic mirror is used, together with a spherical reflector placed between the mirror and the light source. The flame F, Fig. 1, is placed at the focus of an aplanatic mirror c having spherical or parabolic faces which give a parallel beam E, D, C, A, F. The virtual focus F<1> of the mirror coincides with the focus of the lens e, which gives the divergent beam F, J, K, F, J', K<1>. A spherical mirror d' is placed between the mirror c and a reflector d, which consists of a hyperboloid of metal or glass The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also an obturator which enables the parallel beam to be stopped and the divergent beam to be slowly cut off. The obturator plates f, f <1>, Figs. 5, 6, and 13. are hinged on a rod f<2>, the top of which carries a pin i which enters the slotted end of the operating-lever g. The plates are guided by eyelets f<4> on rods j<1>, Fig. 1, which are so shaped that, as the plates are lowered from the open position shown in Figs. 1 and 13, they are closed, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, to cut off the parallel beam and allow only the divergent beam to emerge from the opening k between them. Their further descent reduces, and finally cuts off, the divergent beam completely. The axle h of the lever g may be turned by any suitable means. The part d may be made as a catadioptic ring giving the same effect as a hyperbolic reflector. Also, the three elements c, d, e may be combined at will. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 1615. Hawkins, G. T., Jones, R. M., and Lenton, A. F. Jan. 21. Coating-machines. - Boots and shoes are rendered waterproof by applying a waterproofing-preparation to, and pressing it into, the adjacent edges of the welt, upper, lining, and lip. The waterproofing-preparation, preferably a mixture of pitch and grease, is melted in a container 1 heated by a steam-pipe 2, and then flows through a passage 6 in a steam-heated box 5. A plate 7 slides over the external opening of the box 5, and is adapted to be moved upwards when engaged by a block 20 vertically movable and carrying a roll 21 against which the work is pressed. The upward movement of the plate brings a hole 13 into alinement with the passage 6, and permits the waterproofing-material to flow out through an adjustable tube 23 screwed on a boss 22 on the plate 7, and thus to flow on to the roller. A channel-piece 25, mounted on the pivot of the roller, forms a passage to conduct some of the material into the boot channel c. The boot is held up against the roller so that the edges of the welt, upper, lining, and channel lip are covered with the waterproof material, which is also pressed in between their adjacent faces.

Abstract: 21,755. Moore, W. H. Oct. 3. Magnetos, driving.- In magnetos of the type in which the armature is displaced by a trigger and then released under the action of a spring, the spring consists of a volute strip, of which the inner end engages the armature and the outer end is attached to the frame and is adjustable. In a collar b, formed on the spindle a, is cut a radial slot c, into which is fitted the inner end, preferably thickened, of a strip spring d. The outer end of this spring fits over a lug e on an end cover f which engages the frame f<1> of the magneto by means of hookshaped projections g. These enter a series of holes in the frame so that the cover f may be fixed in various positions to adjust the tension of the spring. If this be in compression, the direction of the hooks g is reversed. In a modification the cover f is fixed to the frame and forms a bearing for the spindle, the outer end of the spring being adjustable in the cover by means of a set-screw and slot.
