Title: Improvements in and relating to Friction Gearing.
Inventor: CAROLAN EDGAR ALFRED
Filed: 1904-10-01
Granted: 1905-08-17
Abstract: 21,143. Carolan, E. A., [General Electric Co.]. Oct. 1. Motors, gearing for.-Relates to means whereby the pressure between the friction members in variable-speed friction gearing for electric motors may be automatically adjusted to suit the load. A direct-current shunt-wound motor 1, Fig. 1, drives, through pulleys 2, 3, a sleeve 5 mounted in bearings 6. A shaft 4 splined inside the sleeve 5, so that it may be traversed longitudinally by a grooved disc 30 and lever 31, carries at its other end a friction disc 10 running between parallel discs 11, 12. The disc 11 and a disc 18 facing the disc 10, mounted on short shafts in bearings 17. 20 respectively, are inserted to remove side stresses from the working discs 10, 12. The discs 10, 18 may be made of paper, and the discs 11, 12 of cast iron. The disc 12 is secured to a shaft 13 supported in a bearing 15 and carrying at its farther end a driven spur-wheel 14. A regulated pressure is applied to the disc 12 by means of a lever 22, pivoted at 23, one end of which engages in a groove in a wheel 21 upon the shaft 13, and the other carries an armature 25 attracted by an electromagnet 26. The lead 27 that carries current to the motor armature is used to energize the magnet 26, the field magnets being supplied by other leads 29. As the load is increased, the motor armature is retarded, causing the current in the lead 27, and, consequently, the gripping pressure upon the disc 10, to increase. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, the shaft 4 is provided with a disc 33, and is hollowed out to receive a pin 35 secured to a disc 36. The lead 27 is made into a coil 26<1> so placed that, when energized, it draws the pin 35 inwards, causing a disc 37 of yielding material to be compressed, so that its edges are pursed out, gripping the discs 11, 12 more tightly. In another construction, the lead 27 is coiled round an extension of the shaft 13, Fig. 1, so as to cause a direct attraction of the axles of the discs 11, 12.

Title: Improvements in Typewriting Machines.
Inventor: JAMES REGINALD WILLIAM
Filed: 1904-12-12
Granted: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 27,055. James, R. W., [Union Typewriter Co.]. Dec. 12. Type - zoriters. - Relates to a printing-point indicator for type - writers. The top-plate 1 of the machine supports a rail 2 having grooves 3 in which run rollers 4 attached to the paper carriage 5. To the arms 6 of the carriage are pivoted guide .links 7, the upperends of which receive a shaft 9 which passes through a hollow rod 11 connecting the end-plates 10 of the platen frame. The ends of the shaft 9 project between set-screws 12 and fixed shoulders 12<a>, which form stops to limit the shifting movement of the platen for lower or upper case printing. From the front cross-bar 13 of the platen frame extends a bracket 16, carrying a roller 17 which runs in a grouved shift-rail 18. To the bottom of the rail 2 is adjustably secured, by means of screws 19, a plate 20 to which is pivoted the printing-point indicator 15. Pivoted on the shaft 9, one at each end of the platen frame, are arms 25, the lower ends of which are connected by a rod 26. The upper ends of the arms 25 are formed as plates 27. When the platen frame is swung back on the shaft 9 so as to expose the writing, the plates 27 are frictionally engaged by forked plates 28, Fig. 6, secured to the platen frame. The bar 26 is thus caused to move forward and engage a projection 32 on a horizontal pivoted lever 33, Fig. 5. The other end of the lever 33 is connected by a link 36 with the indicator 15, which is thereby swung up against the platen, against the tension of a spring 38. On moving the platen frame slightly forward, the indicator returns to its normal position, shown in Fig. 1, while the platen frame still remains in its raised position.
Patent GB-190428158-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Life-belts or Buoys.
Inventor: GAREIS ANTON
Filed: 1904-12-22
Granted: 1905-01-26
Abstract: 28,158. Gareis, A., and Gareis, [nÚe Goodman], E. Dec. 22. Belts &c. ; inflating apparatus.-The belt consists of a comparatively thickly woven fabric, which, when dry, allows the passage of air and therefore does not retard perspiration, but, when wet, becomes sufficiently airtight to exclude the water. The initial inflation of the belt may be effected by means of a calcium-carbide cartridge, or by air exhaled from the lungs. Fig. 1 shows a section of the belt a and the inflating-tube b, which is formed by sewing a strip of the fabric flatly to the outer surface of the belt and connecting at the top to a flexible tube g leading to the mouthpiece. To ensure the fabric becoming water-tight when wetted, it should be first freed from the substances used in the usual finishing operations. When the belt is immersed, a small quantity of water passes through, as shown at h, and serves to prevent the air from escaping through the inflating- tube when it is open. When the belt is of considerable width, its side walls may be connected together, as at j, for the purpose of retaining the necessary stability when inflated and in the water. When wearing-apparel consists of a material or fabric suitable for the above-described purpose, the belt may be formed by sewing a band of the fabric of suitable width to the outside or inside thereof. The inflating-cartridge, shown in Fig. 4, is contained in a pocket within the belt, and consists of an inner chamber k, l, containing calcium carbide, and having a number of holes pierced in it, and an outer casing n provided with openings at each end, which are normally closed by a sheet r of paper saturated with paraffin and by a flange s formed on the cap t, respectively. When this cap is rotated, the rod u, which screws into it, is pulled downwards and breaks the paper r, when the cap and rod take up the position shown in Fig. 3, thus admitting water to the calcium carbide and inflating the belt.

Inventor: LUKACS ARMIN
Filed: 1906-11-03
Granted: 1907-04-25
Abstract: 24,587. Lukacs, A. Nov. 3. Woodwork, ornamental.-Stamped wood ornaments, especially picture frames, are prepared in such a manner that they may be covered with metal leaf, bronze, or paint, without the application of a composition as a base for the leaf or paint. The pieces of wood to be stamped, after having received their final shape and being planed and cleaned, are impregnated with a dilute solution of resin, for example turpentine, dried, and stained. After being dried, the pieces are dipped two or three times into a thin solution of celluloid, such as zapon lacquer, and are dried after each dipping. The pieces are then stamped in a heated press and while still hot, are coated about three times with a celluloid solution, being dried after such coating. The pieces can then be coated with the liquid used in putting on metal leaf or bronze, and the metal apphed, or the wood may be painted. With some species of wood, the treatment with celluloid solution before stamping may be omitted. A thin coating of shellac may be applied over the last celluloid coat.
