Granted: 1903-05-07
Abstract: 27,132. Mosler, A. R. Dec. 9. Electricity, administering.-For the purpose of applying electricity to the body superficially, a mechanical generator of electricity is combined with a contact-roller in such a manner that the movement of the roller over the body drives the generator. The roller is compbsed of a shell 2 of insulating-material, carrying a pair of electrodes 3, 4 and is mounted so as to rotate freely on journals 16, secured to the two arms of a handle 11. Within the roller is mounted a stationary permanent magnet 6, and between the poles of this magnet is supported a rotatable armature 7, driven through a train of toothed wheels in connection with an annular rack on the inner surface of the roller. One end of the armature winding is connected through a slip ring and brush 27, and an elastic contact-plate 24, with the electrode 3 ; the other end is connected through the body of the magnet 6 and elastic contact-plate 23 with the electrode 4. If intermittent currents are required, a contact-breaker is introduced into the circuit. This is shown in Fig. 9, and consists of a toothed wheel 43, mounted on the shaft of one of the gear-wheels and acting on a metal tongue 44, moulded on a rocker arm 45, so that it may be thrown into and out of action by a slotted switch arm actuated by a handle 62.

Abstract: 27,445. Pickles, A., and Sewell, P. R. Dec. 12. Cleaning pipes and tubes.-For cleaning water, gas, steam, and other pipes, conduits, and tubes, a series of cutters b of varying degrees of fineness are mounted upon a central spindle a, and at the rear end of these a brush c is mounted for completing the cleaning operation. These cutting and scraping members are mounted upon a sleeve d, upon which a propeller, consisting of helical blades f, is fixed. Pressure is communicated to the fluid in the pipe for causing the apparatus to revolve, and afterwards cleaning away the incrustation removed from the pipe. A brush j is mounted behind the propeller having holes o to permit of the passage of fluid. Where severe incrustations are to be dealt with, a turbine-like disc and carrier are combined with the propeller, one portion being attached to, and one portion loose upon, the spindle a. Cutters varying with the nature of the incrustation are used. The helical vanes of the propeller may be formed into brushes, by making them of two plates with bristles between. Fig. 1 shows the cleaner in use in a curved pipe, and Fig. 2 in a straight pipe.

Abstract: 5619. Galwey, J. de B., and Schreier, E. March 8. Paging and numbering apparatus. -The numbering- mechanism of the chases of printing- machines in which sheets are numbered with several consecutive numbers simultaneously, and therefore in which the numbers are moved in arithmetical progression in e a c h numbering- barrel, is actuated by devices which obviate the use of specially - constructed numbering- barrels, and give the numbering-barrels two or more movements between each impression. The numbering-barrels 13, Fig. 5, are actuated through longitudinally-sliding rods 22, in the ordinary manner, the numbers to be printed projecting through openings 15 in engraved or other plates 12 supported in the chase. The rods 22 are connected by heads 21 to a laterally-sliding bar 10 guided by slots 11 in the fixed parts of the chase, and controlled by a spring'39. The bar is actuated by rollers 37, 38, on levers pivoted at 32, 36 respectively, and coupled at 33 as shown. The end 30 of the bar carrying the roller 37 is actuated from a sliding rod 4 by a bell-crank lever 29, so that each movement of the bar 4 gives one movement to all the numbering-barrels. The rod 4, Fig. 1, may be given the required number of movements between each impression by an adjustable. cam c, on the shaft e reciprocated by a cam i on the main shaft h. The cam is clamped between washers at the end of the shaft e, and is also provided with graduations to adjust it to the right position, and a clamping-screw to keep it in its adjusted position. The projections d on the cam engage with a roller on a lever u pivoted at v, and reciprocate the rod 1 the required number of times through an adjustable screw y. The cam may be otherwise reciprocated, or interchangeable cams, with various number of notches, may be continuously revolved. In some cases, where the chase is fixed on a reciprocating bed, the lever u, bell-cranked if necessary, is so arranged that the roller travels over a stationary adjustable undulated bar.

Abstract: 26,571. Simmons, H. Dec. 6. Staples; stapling.-Relates to means for attaching metal fasteners to the ends of driving-belts. The fasteners a, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, are of a staple form with incurved points b adapted to bite into the material of the belt c The limbs of each staple may be equal in length as shown in Fig. 1, or of unequal length as shown in Fig. 2. The loops of the staples on one side of the belt are interposed between the loops of the staples on the other end of the belt, and a pin or thong d is passed through the loops, thereby coupling the ends of the belt together. Fig. 5 shows a machine for attaching the staples shown in Fig. 1. The belt is carried by a yielding table E, preferably arranged to rock on an axis e and controlled by a spring j. A bed die G, fixed to the frame K, is arranged between the table and a comb F working in guides in the frame. The staples are inserted between teeth of the comb, and the end of the belt is passed between the ends of the staples and - abuts against the comb. A movable die H fitted to work between guides h is moved downwards, and the ends of the staples are pressed between the dies G, H and driven into the belt, the table and the comb yielding as the staple is inserted. The die H may be actuated by screw &c. mechanism, or, preferably, by a pair of elbow levers M, the ends of which are supported by links O pivoted to the frame K, the elbow centres being supported by links P pivoted to the frame. Fig. 6 shows a machine for attaching the staples shown in Fig. 2. In this case, the staples are spaced apart by means of loose washers q threaded on a rod Q, while the pressure exerted between the dies G, H is transmitted to the limbs of the staples through a pair of presser-plates R, R<1>. The lower plate R is hinged to the upper edge of the comb bar F, and the upper plate R<1> is hinged on a pin r' arranged to slide in guides in the frame ; the plate R<1> may be held, normally, in the raised position by a counterweight t or by a spring. The presser-plates may be employed in the machine shown in Fig. 5. In a modified form of comb for use with the presser-plates, the teeth of the comb are formed by plates loose on a pin adapted to receive the loops of the staples. The. rear ends of the plates may be mounted on a rod and separated by spacing-washers. For the purpnse of trimming the ends of a belt before the staples are affixed, the dies G, H are combined or provided with guillotine blades. The dies may be removable, or reversible, and provided with cutting and pressing edges respectively, or a cutting-blade may be removably or adjustably mounted on the upper die or presser-bar and adapted to coact with the bed or lower die. A stop is inserted to hold the table in a fixed position.
