Title: Machine for Producing the Threads of Screws for Wood.
Inventor: WEBER GUSTAV
IPC: B23G1/12
Filed: 1911-05-25
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 12,665. Weber, G. May 25, 1910, [Convention date]. Turning wood-screws.-In an automatic rotary chasing-cutter wood-screw machine, the tool-carrier is stationary, and the necessary traversing and lateral motions are given to the work. The machine is duplex, and blanks are fed down shoots 96, Fig. 3, to notched wheels 89 which deliver them to the chucks. The headstocks are carried by a frame 33, which is secured by a pivot 96' to a slide 101, which is traversed by a readily interchangeable cam against which it is pressed by a weight or spring. The lateral oscillation for tapering is effected by a cam, the spindles for communicating motion to the cutters being driven by rounded wheels 30 meshing with long pinions 29. The headstock spindles 44 are driven through clutch surfaces 42, 54, the spindles being speeded up prior to engagement by an endless cord 58 passing over both headstocks and over guide-pulleys 59, 60, which are camoperated to tighten the belts when required. One headstock sleeve 38 carries a belt pulley 37, the other being driven from it by toothed gearing. The spindles are stopped when released by brake blocks 75, and are brought to correct angular position for receiving blanks by racks 79, Fig. 4, engaging pawl-carrying pinions 77, the pawls engaging gaps 80 in the spindles and turning them until releasing-projections 82.on the bearings are met. Chucks. - The chuck-jaws 45, Fig. 3, are closed by spring - pressed sleeves 47 and are opened by draw - spindles 53, which are operated by slides 71, which open the driving- clutches a short time previously. Rotary chasing-cutters.-Sleeves 11, Fig. 6, carry rotary chasing-cutters 5, 6, and can be turned end for end when one cutter is worn; these sleeves are keyed in rotated shells 9 and rest on sockets 13, which transmit the pressure through hemispherical pins 14, 15.

Inventor: GAUTSCHY HEINRICH
IPC: A45B7/00
Filed: 1911-09-22
Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 20,960. Gautschy, H. Sept. 22. Sticks; runners.- Umbrella sticks or rods of the kind that may be bent or cranked are locked in the cranked position by means of a spring - controlled lever carried by the runner co-operating with a slot in the upper rod section. Fig. 2 shows a rod comprising upper and lower sections a<1>, a<2>, telescopically sliding in which are rods b<1>, b<2> hinged to an horizontal rod section c. Pins a<4> engage in slots in the rods b<1>, b<2> for limiting their sliding movement, and the flattened ends of the section c are hinged between the forked ends of the upper and lower rod elements, all the forks being open at their ends except that on the section b<2>. A slotted sleeve d the upper edge of which is cut aslant so as to be highest at a point opposite the slot. locks the lower hinge of the stick in its cranked position. The upper hinge is locked by the lower edge of the runner e and by a spring-controlled lever c<2> pivoted at e<3> upon the walls e<1> of a slot formed in the runner. A projection e<4> on the lever enters a slot in the section a<1>, the lower boundary of the slot being formed by the projecting end of the rod section c. In order to close the umbrella, the lever e<2> and sleeve d are operated to allow the stick to be uncranked, after which the rod c is telescoped within the upper and lower stick sections. The runner lever e<2> locks into a hole in the stick when the umbrella is closed. The stem c instead of sliding within the stick sections may be arranged around them. Holding open and closed.-The runner e is held in its upper position by the rod section c and a spring-controlled lever g engaging over a collar a<3>, and in the lower position by the lever e<2>, the end of which enters a hole in the stick.

Abstract: 21,118. McKenna, T., [Jarvis, H. L.]. Sept. 25. Tapping trees.-Rubber latex is drawn from the trees by first perforating the bark and then placing over the holes a suction chamber. The perforator is shown in Fig. 5, in which the prickers 2 are attached to the plate 1, a handle 2<a> being provided. The suction cap 5, Fig. 3, fits tightly over the holes by means of a ring of solid or plastic rubber 6, and is kept in position by a strap round the tree. Exhaustion of the cap is effected through a pipe 11, and the exuded latex is withdrawn through the pipe 7. In a modification, the pricker is not separate, but is contained within the suction cap and operated from the outside by a lever or handle.

Patent GB-191127294-A (GB)
Title: Improved Device for Lifting and Lowering Telpher-cars.
Inventor: BLEICHERT MAX ADOLF
IPC: B65G19/02
Filed: 1911-12-05
Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 27,294. Bleichert, M. A., and Bleichert, M. P. Dec. 5. Elevated railways. -Relates to the transference of telphers between tracks at different levels by means of a spiral track and a rotating push-rail, and comprises means for ensuring the telphers engaging the push-rail at the proper moment. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, in which a spiral push-rail 2 fixed to a vertical rotating shaft 4 is employed, the telpher comes to rest in the position 5<1> opposite a normally dead section 12. As the rail 2 rotates, a cam 8 thereon engages a spring switch arm 9 and momentarily energizes the section 12, thus giving an impulse to the telpher prior to the engagement of the rail 2 therewith. As the telpher ascends the track 1 it engages a switch 13 and energizes a section 15 permitting the next telpher to run on to the section 12. As the telpher reaches the end of the track 1 it engages a switch 16 to de-energize the section 15. In the arrangement for lowering a telpher by means of a straight push-rail 2 shown in Fig. 3, the telpher 21 runs off the live rail and is brought to rest by the de-energizing of the brake magnet. An abutment 20 on an endless chain 19 driven from the push-rail 2 engages a lever on the telpher and takes off the brake and then feeds forward the telpher on to the track 1 just behind the push-rail.

Patent GB-191128069-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Icing or Coating Confectionery.
Inventor: SAVY EMILE
IPC: A23G3/22
Filed: 1911-12-13
Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 28,069. Savy, E. March 27, [Convention date]. [Addition to 9194/10.] Coating bakers' and confectioners' goods.- Comprises detail modifications of the machine described in the parent Specification for icing biscuits on one side only by depositing them on an endless conveyer coated with the icing- material. Fig. 11 shows a hopper for the icing-material by means of which biscuits can be coated on one or both sides as desired. The lower spout T delivers the icing on to the impermeable conveyer 8 as in the parent Specification, and an upper spout S is provided, which delivers the icing on to the upper side of the biscuits, but can be cut off by a slide U when not required. Fig. 3 shows means for throwing the coated biscuits from the openwork conveyer 12 on to a delivery conveyer 21 running on a vibrating table 22. The conveyer band 12 passes round a small roller 13, which drives, through gearing of variable ratio, a shaft a on which a number of thin disks b are fixed. The speed of rotation of the throw-off can thus be varied to suit the biscuits treated. Any icing adhering to the disks is removed by a comb-like extension of an inclined plate 30 and falls on to a shoot d by which it is conveyed back to the icing-tank. A heating-coil e is provided to warm the disks b and the plate 30 and shoot d so that the icing will flow down towards the supply-tank. The height through which the biscuits fall is regulated by adjusting the conveyer 21 by means of a screw jack V. Fig. 6 shows a device for pressing the biscuits into the coating on the conveyer 8. A number of disks o are loosely mounted on a shaft p which can be adjusted towards or away from the conveyer. The biscuits, after passing under the disks o, pass over a bar E, Fig. 8, mounted on levers A and reciprocated rapidly in a vertical direction so as to cause the biscuits to settle into the icing. The openwork conveyer 12, which now forms the sole support, can be set at any desired distance above rollers D, D', K, which regulate the thickness of the icing on the underside of the biscuits. When it is desired to have the icing smooth and glossy, with a design on it, the delivery conveyer shown in Fig. 10 is used. The biscuits are not inverted after leaving the conveyer 12, but pass on to a glossy paper conveyer M with the required design in relief, this conveyer passing over a double plate cooled by a stream of iced water.
