Granted: 1910-10-18
Abstract: 23,858. Hunter, J. P. Oct. 18. Type-bar actions.-Adding-machines having a series of vertically moving holders, each carrying a series of type-bars which are projected against the platen by hammers, are provided with two extra type-bars bearing distinctive signs which can be printed simultaneously, when necessary, against the same item. When the non-adding key is depressed, an " elimination " sign of triangular shape carried by the type-bar 42, Figs. 1 and 2, is printed upon the next operation of the machine by means of a hammer 7, the hook or latch of which is directly released by the key. When the total key (not shown) is depressed, a pawl or arm 51 is moved by means of links 25 into the path of a pin 54 upon the "units" hammer. When this hammer is cocked, a hinged hammer 23, 24 is also cooked, this extending the spring 240 ; upon the release of the " units " hammer, the hammer 23, 24 strikes the type-bar 21 and prints the " clear " sign against the item being printed. The hammer 7 is slotted so as to allow the pin 54 upon the adjacent " units " hammer (not shown) to pass through it, and engage, when necessary, the pawl 51. When the non-adding key is depressed before printing the first item of a new series, the totalizer being in a cleared condition, both signs are printed against the same item, Fig. 6, the " clear type-bar being adapted to pass through the " elimination " typebar.

Granted: 1912-02-22
Abstract: 636. Lilienfeld, L. Jan. 10. Samples furnished. Coating-compositions.-Condensation products resembling either oils, caoutchouc, or resins, are obtained by treating drying oils, particularly Chinese wood oil, or the fatty acids of such oils, or derivatives of such oils or fatty acids with amido-derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons or with derivatives thereof, in the presence of condensing-agents, such as zinc chloride or aluminium chloride. The derivatives of drying oils &c. include alkali or other metal soaps, esters of fatty acids, compounds of fatty acids with organic bases, such as salts or anilides, the amides of fatty acids, and sulphonated fatty acids and their salts. The amido-derivatives include primary, secondary, and tertiary amines and diamines, such as aniline and o-toluidine; their derivatives include salts, substitution products, carboxylic acids, inorganic acid derivatives, condensation products, nitroso, azo, and diazo compounds, and hydrazine derivatives. The condensation may be effected in the presence of water. When the products resemble oils, they may be used for waterproofing fabrics, and for making linoleum lincrusta, American cloth, &c. When the products resemble caoutchouc, they may be used in admixture with cork fibres, ground leather, &c. to form linoleum lincrusta, American cloth, leather substitutes, driving-belts, and washers. Their solutions can be used for waterproofing paper or fabric. For any of these purposes these products may also be mixed with cellulose, cellulose derivatives, such as acetyl - cellulose, nitro - cellulose, or viscose; glue, albumin, casein; gums or starches, such as gum tragacanth, tragasol, algin, norgin, dextrin, or agar-agar; india-rubber etc.; resins, oils, fats, waxes, &c, When used in solution, these bodies may be dissolved in benzene, toluene turpentine, fats, oils, acetone, ether, carbon bisulphide, carbon tetrachloride, light petroleum, chlorhydrin, or amyl acetate. The Provisional Specification also states that similar products may be obtained from fats, drying oils, and fatty acids generally.

Abstract: 5642. Moy, E. F., and Bastie, P. H. March 7. Curtains, drawing and suspending.-In a device for draping and lifting tableau curtains, a compensating counterweight is used which balances the curtain in any position whether draped or undraped. The device is designed more particularly for use with the lifting-gear described in Specification 22,081/09, [Class 132 (i), Amusement and exereising apparatus &c.], and consists of a frame b which slides in guides a<1> and carries two wheels c, d mounted on studs. Two counterweights e, f are connected by a heavy chain g and a cord h which paes round the wheels. The lines k<1> which carry the curtain batten j are secured to the frame b, and the lines m<1> which drape the curtain o<1>, o<2> are secured to the counterweight f. Ropes q<1>, q<2> are secured to the frame b and counterweight f respectively, pass over guide-pulleys or power operated winches as described in the above-mentioned Specification. In use, when it is required to drape the curtain and then lift it, the counterweight f is drawn down by means of the rope q<2>. As the curtain drapes, the extra weight on the cords m<1> is balanced by the weight of that part of the heavy chain g which has passed over the pulley c. The total weight on the cords m<1>, k<1> remains the same so that the curtain will remain draped in any position. By continuing the pull on the rope q' after the draping, the whole curtain is lifted. The rope q<1> enables the curtain to be raised or lowered without disturbing the draping lines.

Abstract: 18,372. Wenk, E. Aug. 3. Mills and apparatus. - Superphosphate chambers 3 in an enclosure 2 are d i s c h a r g e d by scrapers carried by a car 11 carrying and driven by a motor 12, which also drives the scrapers. The scrapers 13<a>, Figs. 5 and 6, are mounted on a cross-shaped carrier 13 driven by gearing 12<a>, 12b, the car being driven by gearing 14<a>, 14<b>, 14<c> along rails 7 in the chamber 3. The driving-shaft 14 is driven forwards by a worm-wheel 15, and, when the cutters reach the end of the chamber, the shaft 14 is uncoupled from the worm-wheel 15 and coupled to a chain-wheel 16 by a claw clutch 17 so that the car is moved backwards quickly. The clutch 17 is operated by a counterweighted lever 18 held in position by an electro-magnet 20 when the car is moving forwards. To the car is attached a weighted cable 21 passing through a slot in the lever of a switch 22 and carrying stops 21<a>, 21b for operating the switch so as to cut off and then reverse the current when the car reaches the end of its travel, and to cut off the current when the car has left the chamber 3 and moved on to rails 10 on a car 8, by which it is moved into position to operate on the next chamber. The car carries a shield 29 to keep the powdered substance away from the gearing, and prevent the escape of acid gases. The powder falls through a slot between the rails 7 on to a conveyer band 25, and thence is carried away by an elevator 26. Acid gases are carried away by a chimney 28, and are washed by water.
