Granted: 1908-09-03
Abstract: 28,711. Topliff, F. W. Dec. 31. Load, securing.-Stakes, such as are attached to the sides of wagons for securing the load, are provided with a movable extension whereby they may be adjusted in height. According to one form, Figs. 2, 4, and 5, the upper portion 2 slides in the lower portion 1, and is retained therein by the engagement of an enlargement 7 with a cap 8. This cap is secured to the lower portion by a projection 9, provided on the lower portion and adapted to pass through a vertical slot 10 and enter an horizontal slot in the cap when the cap is turned. The upper portion 2 is provided with a series of projections 13 adapted to pass through the slot 10, but capable also of being turned into a second horizontal recess 14 to retain the portion 2 at any desired height. A key-piece 15 keeps the projections 13, 9 in their respective slots. The lower portion fits into sockets rigidly secured to the sides of the wagon, or pivoted thereto, so as to permit of the stakes turning down longitudinally thereof. A chain 16 passes through the interior of the portion 2, and is provided with a weight 17, or is attached to a coil spring. A hook 18 serves for attachment to the chain on the opposite stake. In a modification, Fig. 6, the stake is of channel section, the lower part being provided with a projection 23 adapted to be secured, by a turnbutton 24, in notched holes 19 with bevelled edges in the lower portion, while a headed pin 22 engages the hole below.

Title: Loop-taker Actuating Mechanism for Sewing Machines.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1908-02-17
Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 3531. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. Feb. 17. Link - work. - A mechanism for obtaining in a sewing-machine two revolutions of the rotating lock-stitch loop-taker for each reciprocation of the needle - bar is constructed on the trammel principle, and comprises a coupling for the two shafts 11,15, Fig. 1. The invention is shown applied to a machine of the known Singer revolving-hooktype, as described in Specification No. 795, A.D. 1900, [Abridgment Class Sewing &c.]. The main shaft 3 is connected by two cranks 8 and two connecting-rods 9 to the intermediate shaft 11, which rotates once for each reciprocation of the needle-bar. The intermediate shaft 11 carries at one end a disk 13, in which are formed two grooves 14 crossing at right-angles. The loop-taker shaft 15 is slightly out of line with the shaft 11, and carries a crank-head 18, to the opposite ends of which are pivoted two blocks 21, 22, Fig. 3, sliding in the grooves 14. As the disk rotates through one revolution, the shaft 15 makes two revolutions. The lower half of the block 22 and the upper half of the block 21 are cut away at each end to allow the blocks to overlap slightly as they slide in the grooves. The coupling is enclosed in a casing 24 containing oil, into which the disk 13 dips so as to lubricate the coupling.

Granted: 1908-10-08
Abstract: 8779. Marks, E. C. R., [Dokkenwadel, F. G.]. April 22. Manures.-Cellulose is used as a retaining-medium in a combined fertilizer and insecticide. The cellulose may be fibre, such as pulp fibre from wood, waste paper, or fabric material. Nitrate of soda, ammonium sulphate, dissolved phosphatic rock, superphosphate, bone ash, dissolved bone-black, basic slag, dissolved phosphatic guano, muriate of potash, sulphate of potash, kainite, and wood ashes are mentioned as fertilizing-ingredients. Suitable insecticides are crude carbolic acid, kerosene oil, hellebore, crude oil, fish oil, and pyrethrum powder. An adhesive, such as glue or coal-tar, may be used, and a required bulk may be made up by marl, peat, peaty soil, &c. An example is given in which muriate of potash is added to a saturated solution of sodium nitrate. The solution is absorbed by pulp fibre, which is then thoroughly mixed with dissolved phosphatic rock and marl. The material is afterwards passed through a drying-machine and then sprayed with insecticide. Oily insecticides may be made into an emulsion with soap and water before being added.

Abstract: 18,669. Burguet, A. Zund-. Sept. 5. Exercising-apparatus; chest-expanders.-In pulling- apparatus of the type in which a cord is unwound from a spring-controlled drum, ths resistance is adapted to be altered during the use of the apparatus without any interruption of the exercises. This is effected by a band brake d adapted to be pressed on the cord pulley m, Figs. 1 and 4, or on the barrel of the drum, or on both, by pressure of the finger on a part j. A stop h limits the movement of the brake. The initial tension of the drum spring r, in the forms shown in Figs. 3 and 4, is adjusted by winding up the drum. In Fig. 3, the drum a and pulley b are shown connected by wheels p, q and a sliding pinion so that the wheel p can be engaged by the pinion for winding the drum, a spring x preventing the pulley from unwinding during the disengagement of the wheel q. In Fig. 4, the drum and pulley are on the same swindle g, which is turned by a key and stopped, when the desired tension is reached, by a sleeve surrounding the spindle and provided with inclined teeth which are pressed by a spring z into engagement with similar teeth on the casing.

Abstract: 27,373. Cox, E. A. Nov. 24. Feeding sheets ; del i v e r y apparatus. - A rotary stencil printing- apparatus is constructed with a sheet-forwarding device which is controlled from one of the heads in which the stencil-carrier is mounted, the head being adjustable circumferentially so as to regulate the "head space" on the printed sheets. The printed sheets are stripped by adjustable fingers engaging grooves in the stencil carrier. The sheets are supported against adjustable lateral gauges on a table 1, Fig. 3, resting on a bar 10 and adjustable by the engagement of a shoulder 11 in a rack 12, and are fed by hand over a bed-plate 3 to a stop 4 on a shaft 15 fitted by means of clamping-plates 16 with an eccentric semi-cylindrical rubber gripper 5, which coacts with a plate 6 to feed the sheet forward. The plate 6 is normally raised above the gripper 5 by means of a pawl 19, Fig. 6, on a spring-controlled shaft 18, which carries the plate 6, the pawl resting on a tooth 22 on a disk 20, freely mounted on the shaft 15 and connected by a spring 26 in a slot 25, and a pin 24 to a mutilated gear wheel 23 fixed to the shaft 15, and adapted to be actuated at the required time by a rack 32 on a drum head 28 to which the stencil-carrier 27 is attached. A pin on the head 28 engages a shoulder just in front of the tooth 22 on the disk 20 and moves the disk forward independently of the pinion 23 and releases the pawl 19 so as to grip the sheet between the members 5, 6. A second pin on the head 28 then engages the vertical part of tooth 22 and moves the pinion 23 into engagement with the rack 32, and after the member 5 has fed the sheet into the bite of the impression roller 8 and the shaft 15 has completed one revolution, the members 20, 23 are held stationary by the engagement of a concave part of the pinion 23 with the head 28. The carrier is formed with circumferential grooves 39 in which work stripper fingers 40, which deliver the printed sheets to a receiving tray 58 adjustable in radial slots 60 in the frame.
