Abstract: 9427. Monasch, M. April 21, 1908, [Convention date]. Electric oscillations, producing; directive wireless signalling.-In a method for obtaining two or more undamped electrical oscillations of desired phase - difference, for use in directive wireless telegraphy and telephony, two or more oscillation circuits are connected or otherwise coupled together in such a manner that a predominating source of oscillations a, Fig. 1, forces the other sources b, c, ... to vibrate in phases differing from its own by a fixed amount; or the circuits are arranged, as at a, b, Fig. 2, so as to have a mutual control over each other. Instead of using an ordinary resistance r to help to obtain the desired phase-displacement, some device such as an antenna may be employed, in which the currents flowing are utilized.

Abstract: 5590. North, R. March 6, 1909, [Convention date]. Index type-wheel machines ; locking-devices.- Relates to improvements on the machine for printing and issuing tickets described in Specification 28,007/03. (1) The setting is effected by means of a handle on the shaft 10 provided with a detent adjustable over a notched segment. The shaft 10 actuates the type-wheel 81 through a segment 16, and a slide 50 through a segment 53. On the slide 50 are projections 55, 56, 57 so spaced as to engage one of the ends of levers 37 for actuating the recording-wheels 30. The position of the setting-mechanism is indicated by characters on a scale attached to the slide 50 and viewed through an aperture in the casing. (2) When the slide 50 is correctly positioned, a pivoted latch 71 drops into one of the recesses of a wheel 70 and releases a catch 74 on the shaft 7. which may then be actuated to operate the printing-mechanism and also lift a slide 40 carrying the slide 50. While the slide 40 is lifted, a catch 80 is caused to engage with and lock the type-wheel 81 so that the setting- mechanism cannot be shifted.

Fermenting; yeast.-In order to obtain the beneficial action on the growth of saccharomycetes, of active lactic-acid bacteria, and of lactic acid, the preliminary mash, after attaining a certain acidity due to production of lactic acid, is mixed with sulphuric or other inorganic acid, which does not reduce the vitality of the lactic-acid bacteria, but prevents further formation of lactic acid. The preliminary mash prepared from corn meal and bruised malt is kept at 50-62‹ C., lactic fermentation takes place, and this is stopped at a certain point by addition of sulphuric acid. The mash is cooled to 15-20‹ C., and yeast is added. After fermentation, a portion of the yeast is separated to start subsequent fermentations, and the remainder of the fermented mash is added to the main mash.

Abstract: 25,818. Marks, E. C. R., [Interstate Pneumatic Tube Co.]. Nov. 7. Pneumatic dispatch apparatus. - A terminal, Fig. 1, comprises two carrier-dispatching chambers 4. When a carrier is inserted in one of these, the lid 8 is closed, and, in closing, depresses a spring-held perforated valve-sleeve 9 so as to admit air from the supply cavity 2. The passage of the carrier swings a valve 13 over into register with the outlet of the other chamber to close it. The lid also closes a pair of contacts 22, so completing an electric circuit through a magnet 25, which thereupon locks the closed lid, and through a magnet which sets in operation a timing-device for the blower-motor. The lid also closes a second pair of contacts which short-circuits the locking-magnet of the other lid 8 so releasing it, if locked. The motortiming device comprises a screwed spindle 33, Fig. 5, into engagement with which an arm 31 is drawn when the circuit of a magnet 26 is closed as described above. The motor is stopped when the arm 31 is moved into contact with one of a pair of electric contacts 28 and the control circuit through them is broken. The locking- magnet 25, being in this control circuit, is deenergized when the motor is stopped, and both lids, therefore, stand open. Only one transfer tube is used. It is connected at will by the pivoted column 17, Fig. 2, to any one of three pipes, namely, the dispatch pipe 5, a receiving- pipe 20, and a line pipe 21, to another terminal.

Abstract: 15,771. British United Shoe Machinery Co., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. July 6. [Addition to 20,215/06.] Ornamenting.-A stitch-impressing, impression-finishing, or like machine such as is described in the parent Specification is modified so that the work is supported in a position in which the welt can be more readily seen by the operator. For this purpose, the work-table 24, Fig. 1, is mounted at an acute angle to the horizontal at the upper end of a shaft 22, which is journaled in inclined bearings 20, 23 projecting downwards from a main casting 12. The table is supported on ball bearings by a pivoted frame 30, the angular position of which is adjustable by means of a turn-buckle 35. The table is rotated by bevel-gears 33, 26, 25, from the shaft 22, which is itself driven by bevel-gears 19, 18 from a vertical shaft 15 located within the main standard 11. The gear 19 is splined to the shaft 22 in order to allow this to be shifted longitudinally by means of treadle connexions 40, 41, 43, 44, for the purpose of raising or lowering the work-table 24 in relation to the operating-tool to permit the insertion and removal of the work; this movement is effected without interfering with either the rotation or the angular adjustment of the work table. The latter is normally held in its working position by a spring surrounding the treadle-rod 44; the tension of the spring may be varied by means of an adjustable collar controlled by a finger latch. The freely-rotatable operating-tool 60 has a shank portion which is adjustably held by a spring-pressed latch plate 66 in a bearing 64 at the upper end of a carrier 61, which is provided with a sleeve 62 surrounding the shaft 22; this sleeve is free to oscillate about the shaft, but not to move longitudinally. The oscillating movement of the carrier about the shaft 22 is obtained from a shaft 59, which is driven by a belt from the main shaft, and is connected to the carrier 61 by a ' duplex ' joint comprising a slide block 73, Fig. 2, movable by a crank-pin 74 on the shaft 59 in a cylindrical block 70 mounted in a circular guide sleeve 69 at the rear of the carrier 61. The upper end of the carrier 61 is twisted so that the path of movement of the tool is such that the tool is nearest the work at the end of its stroke; this causes the tool to exert a pounding or hammering action on the welt.
