“IMPROVEMENT IN CLOTHES-MANGLES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 145,910., dated December 1873; application filed December 10, 1873.

. cept those having very unequal thicknesses or possessing brittle projections, such as buttons, &c.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a mangle embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a transverse section thereof. Fig. 3 is an enlarged transverse section of one of the clamping-rolls.

Journaled horizontally in a suitable frame, A, are two wooden clamping-rolls, B B, which terminate outside of the frame in spur-wheels G O, which gear with a corresponding cogwheel, D, on the end of a hollow metallic cylinder, E. E is another precisely similar cylinder, which is caused to press down upon the one E by the action of springs F F, whose stress is capable of being increased, at will, through the instrumentality of screws G G G G and caps H H. Arms I I, pivoted to the frame, carry at their free extremities wooden idlers J J, which, resting upon the cloth or goods being operated upon, act to take up the slack of said goods, and to keep it properly on the stretch. These idlers may be caused to press down upon the goods with any degree of force by india-rubber bands 1?, which engage over the arms I, and under the brackets .to which said arms are pivoted. These arms may be provided with spurs or notches to retain the bands in proper position, or said bands may be omitted and metallic springs P substituted for them, as shown in Fig. 2. The clamping-rolls have each a longitudinal groove or channel, K, to receive a clamp, L, which, after the end of the goods has been introduced, is secured by means of screws M M. N N are iron heaters, which, having been raised to the proper temperature, are inserted in their respective cylinders, E E, in order to bring and maintain the same at that degree of heat which will efl’ectually smooth without injuring the goods. A winch,

O, on the end of the-cylinder E, enabl s the laundress to rotate the same, whence motion is communicated, as per arrows, to the rollers.

The operation of the machine is as follows: The heaters having been made sufficiently hot,

by being inserted in a fire, are then introduced ders E and E, and, having been clamped in the other roll, the crank is then rotated to and fro until the article is sufiiciently smoothed. Should the pressure of the upper cylinder E be found too great or too little, it can be regulated by means of the screws G G G G. The idlers J J effectually take up any slack which must otherwise arise from the changing diameters of the clamp-rolls, in consequence of the increase or decrease of goods upon them, in course of winding and unwinding. The ends of the goods being firmly caught in the clamp-rolls, it is impossible that the laundering should operate bias upon the goods, as in common mangling, or in smoothing by sadirons, and consequently the article, when finished, is found to possess its proper rectangular form, and not to be in any place unequally stretched.

While thus especially applicable for use on larger articles, such as are liable to lose their proper shape in the laundry, it is evident my apparatus may also be used with great advantage on almostevery description of clothing or linen.

I claim as new and of my invention- The mangle constructed, as herein described, with clamp-rolls B B, metallic cylinders E E, heaters N N, springs F F, caps H H, idlers I J J, and springs P, the whole mounted in a suitable frame and driven by suitable gearing, in manner substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony of which invention I hereunto set my hand. 7

Frances MacDaniel.  ●  1900.   ●  Patent No. 650,090.   ●  Electrical Ear Trumpet. 

“Be it known that I, FRANCES MACDANIEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York city,county and State of New York,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Electrical Ear-Trumpets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention is based upon the Well-known fact that many people commonly deaf to ordinary soundssuch, for instance, as the sounds of the human voice, music, or similar sounds of ordinary volume-can hear such sounds it produced in the presence of a sound of greater volume. Thus a person who cannot hear when spoken to in the quiet of an ordinary room will be able to hear whispers if taken into a factory and spoken to amid the many sounds due to the operation of machinery. Theoretically this condition is probably due to the influence of the ordinary sound-waves produced by the voice, music, or similar means acting as superposed waves or interfering waves with the influence created by the large sound-waves upon the nervecenters.

Myinvention is based uponthe above-stated fact and in its construction involves the principle of artificially creating near to the nervecenters sound-waves of determined tone and volume.

The mechanical construction of the instrument I prefer to be such that the sound-making apparatus shall be within the instrument and when in use brought into immediate proximity’to the ear and at the same time have the capacity for collecting and directing into the ear external sounds.

I do not limit myself in any wise to the mechanism for producing the sound-waves in the instrument. Preferably,however,the soundwaves will be created by the vibrations of a tuned reed set in motion by alternately making and breaking an electric circuit through a magnet.”

Flour-sifter with reversible closed bottom and cover.

Priscilla M. Burns. ●  Patent No. 491008 ●  1893 ●  Flour-sifter with reversible closed bottom and cover.

To all whom it may concern.-

ofthe city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Flour-Sifters with Reversible Closed Bottom and Cover, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to a rotary flour sifter, that has an alternating, semi-spheric tight bottom and cover, which in its bottom capacity, when not sifting securely retains the flour from escape, and which when said bottom is reversed in its elevated position when sifting, prevents the scattering of the flour by the sifter over the top of the sifter can.

Figure I is a perspective view of thecan, and shows the sifter crank, and the rotatable arm with its hand knob, by which the semispheric alternating tight bottom and cover is inverted. Fig. II is a vertical section, taken on line 11-11, Fig. III, and shows in full lines the semi-spheric, alternating tight bottom and cover, adjusted into its lower position, for preventing the escape of the flour at the bottom of the apparatus previous to sifting, it also shows in broken lines, the said semi-spheric element in its elevated position in which it prevents the upward escape of the flour, while sifting; and Fig. III is a vertical section, partly in elevation, the section taken on line IIIIII, Fig. II and shows the semi-spheric alternating bottom and cover in its elevated position as a cover to prevent the upward escape of flour, while sifting.

Referring to the drawings:-1 represents the flour-can, which is of convenient form for scooping up the flour from the barrel or sack, when it is desired to replenish the same. 2 is the handle of said can.

3 represents a semi -spheric wire woven screen, whose upper peripheral edge 4 is seated within a circumferential groove 5 around the inside of said can, and is there secured by solder or otherwise. The bulge 6 of said semi-spheric screen lacks sufficiently from reaching on line with the bottom of the can,to prevent its coming in contact with the table, or any other flat object on which the sifter can is placed when at rest.

7 represents a crank-axle whose oif journal 8 Works inthe perforate bearing 9 in the far side of the can, and its nigh journal 10, has its tube bearing 11, in the sleeve 12, which sleeve has its perforate bearing 13, in the nigh side of the machine. l trepresents semi-circular beating wires, whose ends are fast seated in the sockets 15 in the collar hubs 16, which hubs are themselves fast seated on said crank axle 7, within close working distance inside said semi-spheric screen 3. 17 represents the crank on said axle 7, and 18 is the knob-handle by which said crank axle and the semispheric beaters are turned to agitate the flour, while sifting.

I now come to important elements of my device, which, in conjunction with the said sleeve 12, prevent the escape of the flour from the can when not sifting and which also by an alternatingchange of position prevents the u pward escape of the agitated cloud dust of flour from the top of the can while siftin 19 represents a semi-spheric, preferably metal cup, which has perforate projecting lugs 20 on each of its journal attached sides. The off side lug hasaloose bearing 21 on near the off end of the axle 7, and the nigh side lug has a tight bearing 22 on said sleeve 12.

23 represents a crank handle arm, which is fast mounted on the sleeve 12, to which sleeveit is rigidly secured by the key pin 24, which pin is seated in the key-hole 25 in said crank arm and sleeve, and thus locks them together. 26 represents a counter extension arm, integral with said crank arm 23, and which extends in the reverse direction to said crank handle end. The said combined crank handle and counter extension arm, is made of a concavoconvex form, its concave side 27 facing toward the flour-can, and the said facing side, at its ends has convex runner crooks 28, that as said arm attains its vertical position, exert a slight hold against the side of the can and hold it there. 29 is the knob handle on the operative end of said crank-arm 23, by which it is turned.

The operations of the especial devices in this apparatus that prevent the illegitimate escape of flour, when and where it is not required to be deposited in sifting, as an attachment to rotary flour sifters, are as follows:- The metal semi-spherical cup 19 having, by

means of one of its perforate lugs aloose bearing on the crank-axle 7, and its other perforate lug having a flat bearing on the sleeve 12 which sleeve has a loose bearing in said crank axle, and as the crank arm 23 is fast mounted and keyed on said sleeve 12, it follows that said crank arm is enabled to control the alternation in positionof said semi-spheric cup from that of a tight bottom, to prevent the escape of the flour, to the screen or sieve and from that its escape from the can, as shown in full lines in Fig. II, previous to starting the rotary sifter, on the one hand, to that of a tight cover, as shown in full lines in Fig. III, and in broken lines in Fig. II, to prevent the discharge of fine particles of the flour from the top, consequent on the agitation of sifting. The peripheral rim of said semispheric cup, approximately fits inside the flour-can, so that although it has free action in alternating, yet it substantially presents an efiective stay against the illegitimate escape of the’fiour. It’will further be seen, that when said crank arm 23 is turning said semi-spheric cup, to alternate it from a tight bottom to a tight cover, and vice versa, the convex runner crooks 28 of said arm and of its counter extension, do not come in contact with the flour can, until said cup reaches either its location as a tight bottom, (see Fig. II) or on the other hand, its position as a tight cover, (see Fig. 111,) at which time said convex crooks come in contact with the can and friction-lock the cup in either of its alternate locations.

– The sleeve 12 may be square seated in the crank arm 23, and tightened thereon when so required.

I claim as my invention:-

1. In a flour sitter, the combination of the can, the adjustable axially mounted revoluble hemispherical cup 19, free to oscillate back and forth and conforming to the interior of the can and the crank arm 23, by which said cup is alternated to effect respectively a tight bottom and cover; substantially as described.-

2. In a flour sitter, the combination of the semi-spheric cup 19, the can 1, within which said cup is axially mounted, the’cornbined crank arm 23 and counter extension 26, hav

ing the friction runner crooks 28, the said crank arm arranged to transpose said cup into its alternate positions to effect respectively a tight bottom and top, and said runner crooks 28, friction-locking said cup in said respective operating positions; substantially as described.

3. In a flour s’ifter, the combination of the flour can, the crank axle 7, the wire screen, the rotary heaters fast mounted on said axle, the sleeve 12 loosely mounted on said axle, the alternating cup 19 loosely mounted on said axle and fast mounted on said sleeve, and the crank arm 23 fast mounted on said sleeve; substantially as described.

4. In a flour sifter, the combination of the can 1, the crank axle 7, having its crank 17, the wire screen 3, the rotating heaters, 14, the sleeve 12 loosely mounted on said axle, the

semi-spheric cup 19, loosely mounted on said
