Abstract: 25,223. Gartner, H. Nov. 4. Forging nails; forging-dies.-In machines for making wire nails having four point - forming cutters, these are arranged in two holders each carrying one cutter m directly and one cutter n<1> moving in a block e sliding in the holder. Each cutter m may be adjusted by means of a block t and screw S, and each cutter m<1> is free to move between the cutter m and the end of the setscrew S<1> but is pressed towards the work by means of a spring f acting on the block e and limited by the stop l or by engaging the side of the recess a, Fig. 6. If the screws S, S<1> are arranged at the sides of the holders as in Fig. 6, these may be mounted on levers and advanced by pressure levers acting on hard blocks p. A small outward movement of the holders spreads the cutters sufficiently to allow the heading-die to pass. The cutter ends may be shaped to produce two adjacent points at each operation.

Granted: 1913-07-03
Abstract: 27,201. Gasmesserfabrik Mainz, Elster, & Co. Jan. 17, [Convention date]. Toothed gearing.-Relates to variable intermittent transmission gearing, applicable to prepayment vending-machines for supplying gas, water, electricity, &c., of the kind in which a pair of juxtaposed mutilated wheels are secured together with capability of relative angular adjustment to form a compound variable mutilated driving-wheel, and comprises an improved form of locking-device for automatically locking the driven wheel during the part of a rotation in which it is not in engagement with the toothed portion of the driving-wheel. The compound variable mutilated driving-wheel is formed of a pair of juxtaposed mutilated wheels b, e adjustably secured together by means of a screw e passing through a slot d in the disk c and screwing into the disk b. The driven pinion f is locked during the ineffective portion of the rotation of the driving- wheel by means of a pivoted pawl or locking member g having longitudinal and lateral extensions j and k co-operating respectively with pins or the like l and m on the respective disk members b and c. As the driving-wheel rotates in the direction of the arrow, the pin l engages the part throwing the locking-part g into action when the toothed portion of the periphery becomes disengaged from the driven pinion; the pin m engaging the part k throws the locking-part out of action as the toothed portion comes again into operation. The arrangement of the pins upon the respective disks renders the locking-device effective whatever the relative adjustment of the disks.

Abstract: 10,036. Gyuris, J., and Schlesinger, A., [Firm of]. April 29. Thermo-electric batteries.-A continuous positive or negative element is connected to an element of opposite polarity which is interrupted at intervals. The battery shown in Fig. 2 comprises a band a forming the electro - negative element, to which strips b forming the positive element are attached diagonally, preferably by electro-deposition. The edge c of the band is heated, and the edge d cooled, and terminals are secured to the two ends of the band. In a modification, the strips b are interrupted longitudinally. In another modification, the strips are connected together, i.e. by the same material, at the edges, or in the middle. Another form consists of a number of parallel diagonal electro-positive rods cast into a bar of electronegative material. In another form, positive rods are embedded or immersed in a powdered, liquid, or vapourous negative element in a trough which is itself preferably electro-negative. In other forms, both elements are interrupted; for example, one set of parallel strips may overlap another set, or the two sets of elements may form the warp and weft respectively of a wire gauze. The elements may be in the form of truncated hollow cones fitted over one another alternately to form a tube which is heated inside and cooled outside, or vice versa ; several of such tubes may be connected in series to form a battery. The ends of bands, as shown in Fig. 2, may also be brought together to form tubes.
