Granted: 1910-04-18
Abstract: 21,876. Liebow, E. April 16, 1909. Stamping.-A method of swaging metallic denture plates consists of forming a casting of fusible metal from the plaster cast of the mouth, and painting it with a composition of plumbago and water, after which the plate is placed on it with a backing and pressed to the shape required ; or, as a modification, a plate of lead is pressed on to the cast in a suitable press, a backing of rubber or cloth being used, and the backing then removed and a male die of fusible metal cast on the lead plate, the denture plate being then swaged between the metal cast and the die. A suitable press for this purpose has a base A with three upstanding arms A', which fit into the lugs b<1> of a ring B, the whole being secured together by the cotters a<3>. A table a is supplied on which the cast rests and a plunger C which presses the plate to shape when it comes into contact with the stop E of an hydraulic or other machine, the plunger D of which raises the flask. A gauge G is fitted to indicate the pressure. [Reference has been directed under Section 7 of Patents &c.

Abstract: 1429. Haddan, H. J., [Kettlitz, C.]. Jan. 20. A d d i n g - m a c h i n e s ; keyboards; selecting denomination; varying functions of machine.-An a p p a r a t u s for determining the amount required to balance an account comprises two series of key-operated numeral-wheels, upon which the totals of debit and credit items respectively can beset ; by connecting corresponding wheels of the two series together by means of auxiliary toothed wheels, and then zeroizing the wheels of that series upon which the smaller total has been set, the other series show the balance required. The series of wheels 1, 2, Fig. 3, are operated by keys 78, Fig. 7, through hinged sectors 99 gearing with wheels 90 to 98, toothed drums 87, 88, and movable spring-controlled denomination - selecting wheels 64, 65. These wheels are controlled by a slide 82 which is moved so as to expose the the larger of the two totals through an aperture in the frame and at the same time allows only one of the denomination-selecting wheels to operate the corresponding series of numeral-wheels at a time ; the other being held out of gear. An escapement-mechanism, permitting either of the wheels 64, 65 to actuate the numeral-wheel of each denomination in succession, is operated by the keys through a lever 80 and a link 81. As each numeral-wheel is set, a pulley mounted on the same sleeve rotates one of a series of pulleys 104 to a corresponding extent by means cf a cord 107. Zeroizing - mechanism. - The series of nested sleeves 43 mounted upon a pivoted frame 103 is next thrown backwards, so that the toothed wheels thereon gear with the corresponding wheels attached to the numeral-wheels, and the proper series is zeroized by depressing levers 110 attached to the pulleys 104, a bail 119 being automatically removed from ratchet-wheels attached to these pulleys. The bail can, if desired, be directly depressed by means of a lever 120.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Direct Conversion of Sugar Syrups into Crystallised Sugar.
Inventor: GRIERE CHARLES
IPC: C13B30/02
Filed: 1909-04-17
Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 9148. GriÞre, C. April 25, 1908, [Convention date]. Saccharine solutions, concentrating and crystallizing.-Sugar solutions are converted into a fine sugar or sugar powder by (1) boiling down the solution to about 125‹ C., (2) crystallizing the product without heating or cooling, either by adding dry sugar and then mixing, or by subjecting the hot syrup to a reduced pressure for the purpose of evaporating a further quantity of water, or by a combination of these processes, and finally (3) converting the resulting paste to dry grain or powder by treatment with a current of cold air in a conveying and agitating apparatus. (1) In boiling the sugar, the operation is conducted first under vacuum and finally at atmospheric pressure. The boiling mass is prevented from coming into contact with the atmosphere in order that no decomposition shall take place. (2) The crystallization is effected in mixing- apparatus, Fig. 2, comprising a cylindrical trough provided with stirring-arms c carrying horizontal scrapers d. The trough may be tilted by means of gearing f, g, and may be provided with a cap and pipe connecting it to an air-pump. In another form of mixer, the scrapers d are inclined to the axis of the central shaft, and thus have a conveying action. (3) The drying operation is effected in a cylindrical trough, Fig. 5, carrying stirring-arms n, and, alternating with these, conveyer blades o touching the sides of the trough and formed either of a continuous spiral or of strips of metal. The air current may pass through the apparatus in the opposite direction to that of the sugar, or may enter at both ends of the trough and pass away at the centre.

Abstract: 11,326. Eccles, J., and Hadfield, W. E. May 13. Retrievers and controlling-arrangements for collectors. - Relates to trolly-pole retrieving- devices of the type in which the trolly, when it jumps the overhead conductor, is automatically pulled down and held below the overhead gear by mechanism driven from the car-wheel shaft or other rotating part. The underside of the vehicle is fitted with a shaft 5 driven from any convenient rotating part and carrying a toothed drum 6 and a toothed clutch 8. The drum 6 is loosely mounted on the shaft, and connected to the trolly-pole by a flexible connexion 9, 12. The clutch 8 is free to slide on a key on the shaft, and is normally kept out of engagement with the drum by means of a spring. When the trolly jumps the conductor, a stop 10 throws the clutch into operation, and the trolly is pulled down until a stop 11 throws the clutch out of action. During the retrieving action, a conical piece 16 passes through spring or weight pressed jaws 15 and prevents the trolly from again rising until these jaws are released by hand.

Abstract: 18,706. Lake, W. E., [Goss Printing Press Co.]. Aug. 13. Driving printing-machines.-Relates to variablespeed gearing for printing-presses of the kind in which a driving-shaft can be connected to a driven shaft either through a friction clutch for a high speed, or for a low speed, through gearing comprising a countershaft, toothed and friction trains, and ratchet mechanism which is automatically disconoected when the high-speed clutch is brought into engagement. This clutch 35, Fig. 1, is slidable on a feather on a driving-shaft 13, which receives power through a pinion 15 from a high-speed motor. A gear 33, which drives the press, is secured to a friction-gear 31 which carries a coacting clutch-member 34. A countershaft 21 carries a friction-pinion 28, adapted to engage the gear 31, and a spur-wheel 20 in mesh with a pinion 27 loose on the shaft 13. Pawls carried by a disk 18 secured to the pinion 17 may be engaged and driven by a ratchet-wheel 16 fixed on the shaft 13. The shaft 21 is mounted in eccentric bearings 22, 23 so that it may be moved away from the shaft 13 so as to disconnect the gears 28, 31. With the friction gearing and clutch both disengaged, the press is not driven. When the pinion 28 is moved against the gear 31, the wheel 16 drives the pinion 17, and the low-speed countershaft drive comes into operation. On sliding the clutch 35 into engagement, the high-speed drive is brought into action without previously disconnecting the shaft 21. The pawls then overrun the wheel 16. A brake 101 may be applied to stop the press. The clutch 35, the bearings 22, 23, and the brake 101 are operated in succession from a rock-shaft 52 by a single hand-lever 54, which carries two pawls 62, 64, Fig. 6, and a cam 65.
