Granted: 1913-05-15
Abstract: 28,148. Erikson, C. G. A. Dec. 6. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Pencil-holders. - Relates to a pencil-holder of the type comprising two telescopic members, one A of which frictionally holds the lead B which is fed forward by a feed wire D operated bv the other member C through an elastic cushion or spring E. The spring E is made stronger than the frictional grip between the two members A, C so that the lead can be sheathed by holding the member A and pressing the lead B on a rigid surface, the spring E causing the member C to move upwards with the lead in the member A. The upper member C is provided with a hollow C<1>, which serves as a receptacle for additional leads and is closed either by the spring E or by the head of the feed wire. In order that the upper member C, the spring, and the feed wire may be withdrawn together, the feed wire is attached to the spring at its upper end, and the spring is provided with a flange E<1> adapted to fit tightly in the hollow C<1>. The internal bore of the member A tapers gradually so as to guide the leads towards the lower end of the holder. The lead B is advanced in the usual manner by holding the member C, and pressing the member A and lead B on a rigid surface, the resiliency of the spring E subsequently projecting the lead.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Calculating Machines.

Filed: 1913-04-22
Granted: 1914-05-22
Abstract: 9502. Sloan, R. H. April 22. Tabular calculators; adding and subtracting apparatus. - An apparatus for calculating elapsed time between given times of beginning and finishing work, and the wages due therefor at various rates, and also for summing the hours worked daily into a weekly total, comprises pointer-and-dial apparatus for setting the times adapted to co-operate with an adjustable slide mounted on a tabular wage-computing sheet. The pointer 47 is set to the hour of commencing work on the outer scale on the dial 34, by means of the handle 49; the pointer is then engaged by means of a clutch, such as 41, 50, 51, Fig. 2, with bevel-gear 42, 43 and a screw 12, so that when the pointer is moved to the hour of finishing work, the screw 12 and dividednut coupling 23, 24 carrying a transverse slide 25 are moved to an extent proportional to the elapsed time. The clutch 41, 50 is then disengaged and the pointer 47 set to the hour of commencing a second day's work, and the process repeated until the slide 25 indicates on the right-hand scale 7 of the tabular wage-computing sheet 5 the total number of hours worked during the week. The amount of wages earned at the various weekly rates marked on the upper portion of the slide 25, Fig. 11, and the inclined part 6 of the frame, Fig. 2, can be read in the appropriate columns of the sheet 5; the wages corresponding to quarters of an hour are given beneath the corresponding weekly rates in the second line on the slide 25. The outer scale of the dial 34 extends from 7 a.m. to 5.30 p.m., the hours of a normal working day, the interval from 12 to 1 is half the length of that corresponding to the normal hourinterval, thus making allowance for the halfhour's luncheon-period. The shorter pointer 48 is fixed to the pointer 47 and co-operates with the inner scale of hours extending from 5.30 p.m. to 11 p.m. and representing overtime worked; the angular value of these hours is twice that of the hours on the outer scale, consequently the slide 25 is moved twice the normal distance for all such hours, and indicates on the scale 7 the total hours in normal hours of work. An additional indicator 30, Fig. 11, with a disengageable coupling mounted on the screw 12 may be provided to indicate the hours worked daily. The coupling 23, 24 is controlled by a handle 26 so as to allow the slide 25 to be actuated by hand and used independently in connexion with the computing-sheet 5. When the hours of work of a number of successive days are to be computed, an automatic disengaging-device for the clutch 41, 50 is provided, comprising a cam 54, Fig. 10, which, when not required, can be turned out of the path of the pointer 47 by means of a handle 58. By reversing the movement of the pointer 47, hours of work and the corresponding wages can be subtracted from a given total.

Abstract: 19,854. Preston, J. E. Sept. 2. Cells; arrangements. -A cell which is sealed by compressing an elastic stopper has the connexions to both electrodes brought through a central hole in the stopper so that there is no impediment to the even radial movement of the elastic material. The stopper may be an inflated air cushion, or may consist of two recessed parts 21, 22, as shown in Fig. 6, which hold air between them on being compressed, the parts round the hole preferably being made thick. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the carbon 5 surrounds the zinc or equivalent 10, but this arrangement may be reversed. A leaden or type-metal crown 4 on the carbon is extended as a threaded sleeve, or this may consist of harder metal, to take a wing nut 7 for compressing the stopper 2. Within the sleeve, a stem carrying the zinc 10 is supported by a second expanding stopper 8, clamped below an insulating-plug 11; or in a modified form without an inner expanding stopper, the insulating- plug 11 extends right through the sleeve, into which it may screw, rubber washers being interposed. A wide washer 12<a> at the top of the sleeve projects far enough to prevent the complete removal of the wing nut 7 that clamps the sealing-stopper 2. The carbon 5 has holes for passage of the electrolyte, and preferably has other holes filled by the lead at the top to make a good connexion. Specification 26,683/09 is referred to.

Rotary-mould-table machines.-A brick press comprises a rotary table 1 fitted with interchangeable moulds into which material is fed from a charging- box 41, pressed by plungers 30 connected to an eccentric - operated lever 34, and discharged by plungers 46 connected to a cam-operated lever 48 on to balanced plates 62 carried by a receiving- table 55. The table 1 is rotated intermittently by an arm 7 secured to a shaft 8 and carrying a pin 6 engaging with switches 5 in the table ; the shaft 8 is driven through gearing from the main shaft 22 and also carries a segment 39 adapted to engage recesses 40 in the table and lock it in position. Motion is imparted from the spindle 2 of the mould table to the spindle 53 of the receiving-table through gearing 61, 60, 58, 57, 56. A stand 42, extending from the charging to the pressing positions, serves to support the material within the moulds and also acts as a pressure abutment. To prevent sticking of the material, the plunger 30 and stand 42 are steam-heated. The plates 62 are normally raised against the bottom of the moulds by weighted levers 63. To prevent breakage, the connecting-rod operating the lever 34 is provided with an elastic cushion, or it may be associated with an hydraulic safety-device. According to the Provisional Specification, the press may be in duplex form.

Granted: 1914-12-03
Abstract: 7164. Shearer, H. T. March 21. Driving and feed devices. - Consists of an automatic cross-feed mechanism for the grinding-wheels of machines of the kind in which the base B carrying the wheel is fed transversely across the carriage A, which is moved to and fro along the work. The rack 29, through which the carriage is operated by power, is capable of a limited longitudinal motion in relation to the carriage and has a lost - motion connexion with a link 30 having a cam 33 working between rollers 31, 32, the one mounted in a tubular support 28 and the other in a plunger 27. When the rack commences its movement, say from the position shown, it pulls with it the link, which by the engagement of its cam with the rollers forces up the plunger; the plunger lifts the weight 18 and through a bell-crank lever 19 actuates the pawl of the ratchet-wheel 16, the rotation of which is transmitted to the pinion 11 in gear with the rack 10 on the carriage. The feed is thus imparted to the base before the carriage has commenced to move. By the time the face movement of the rack is taken up, the apex of the cam 33 is immediately between the rollers, and the weight of the parts then forces the plunger down, and the link is pushed forward until the end of the slot is against the pin 35. The automatic reversing- gear for the carriage is worked by the rack 36 and pinion 41 on the shaft 38, which operates a wheel carrying adjustable dogs adapted to act, one on each side, on a rocking arm linked to the clutch 47. The clutch is mounted between two oppositely-driven wheels 48, 49 on the shaft 45 from which motion is transmitted to the shaft 43, carrying the pinion which drives the rack 29, through wheels mounted loosely upon the shaft 38. The shaft 38 may carry a handwheel for working the table by hand.
