Claims.—(1.) In a mechanically operated machine for cutting or shearing hair or wool, a portion of the under-side of the case formed flat with a hole therethrough to receive the lower end of a reeling pillar which supports the hinder end of the sideway-vibrating lever, and a plate fixed to the flat under-surface of the case and forming the bottom of the said hole through the under-side of the case and providing the surface on which the reeling pillar rolls, substantially as set forth. (2.) In a mechanically operated machine for cutting or shearing hair or wool, the under-side of the forward portion of the case formed flat with a hole therethrough to receive the lower end of a reeling pillar which supports the hinder end of the sideway-vibrating lever, a plate fixed to the flat under-surface of the case and forming the bottom of the said hole therethrough and providing the surface on which the reeling pillar rolls, and a comb fixed also against the flat bottom of the forward end of the case whereby its upper surface is in the same plane with the upper surface of the said plate, substantially as set forth. (3.) In a mechanically operated machine for cutting or shearing hair or wool, forming the upper forward end of the case open and providing a cover for such open portion, through the medium of which the pressure of the forward end of the vibrating lever upon the cutter may be adjusted, substantially as set forth. (4.) In a mechanically operated machine for cutting or shearing hair or wool, the combination of a case having an open upper forward end and notches such as g in its sides, with a cover such as L having pivot-pins such as f f r engagement with the notches g, substantially as set forth and illustrated. (5.) In a mechanically operated machine for cutting or shearing hair or wool, the combination with a case having an open forward upper end of a pivoted cover which carries the fulcrum about which the sideway-vibrating lever vibrates, and a vertical pin which passes up through the case and through the cover and is provided with a nut through the medium of which the cover may be pressed down to adjust the pressure of the sideway-vibrating lever upon the cutter, substantially as set forth and illustrated. (6.) In a machine for cutting or shearing hair or wool, a cutter provided with three teeth only, and the forward end of the sideway-vibrating lever which operates such cutter formed bifurcated or with two prongs only, the centres of the two bearing surfaces of the lever upon the cutter being each about one-third of the distance from the centre of an outer tooth of such cutter towards the centre of the middle tooth thereof, whereby the pressure of the lever upon the cutter is equally distributed between the three teeth of the cutter, substantially as set forth.

No. 15645.—19th November, 1902.—FRANZ BAERTL, of Bahnhofstrasse, 81, Zurich, Switzerland, Manufacturer. Improvements in automatic pressure-regulators for gas flames or burners.

Claims.—(1.) The combination of a gas burner or pipe, a gas-pressure regulator placed therein so as not to lengthen said pipe or alter the height of the flame, said regulator consisting of a sleeve provided with an upper valve-seat, a valve in said sleeve having a passage for gas and adapted to be pressed against said seat on high gas-pressure and to fall by gravity on reduction of said pressure, and means for limiting the downward movement of said valve, substantially as described. (2.) The combination of a gas burner or pipe, a gas-pressure regulator placed therein so as not to lengthen said pipe or alter the height of the flame, said regulator consisting of a sleeve provided with an upper valve-seat, a conical valve in said sleeve having a longitudinal passage therethrough for gas and adapted to be pressed against said seat on high gas-pressure and to fall by gravity on reduction of said pressure, and means for limiting the downward movement of said valve, substantially as described. (3.) The combination of a gas burner or pipe, a gas-pressure regulator placed therein so as not to lengthen said pipe or alter the height of the flame, said regulator consisting of a sleeve provided with an upper valve-seat, a valve in said sleeve having a passage for gas and adapted to be pressed against said seat on high gas-pressure and to fall by gravity on reduction of said pressure, means for limiting the downward movement of said valve, and means for giving the regulator the desired vertical or inclined position in the gas-pipe, substantially as described. (4.) The combination of a gas burner or pipe, a gas-pressure regulator placed therein so as not to lengthen said pipe or alter the height of the flame, said regulator consisting of a sleeve provided with an upper valve-seat, a valve in said sleeve having a passage for gas and adapted to be pressed against said seat on high gas-pressure and to fall by gravity on reduction of said pressure, means for limiting the downward movement of said valve, and means for giving the regulator the desired vertical or inclined position in the gas-pipe, consisting of a socket inserted in said pipe and adapted to receive a regulator, substantially as described. (5.) The combination of a gas burner or pipe, a gas-pressure regulator placed therein so as not to lengthen the latter or alter the height of the flame, said regulator consisting of a sleeve provided with an upper valve-seat, a valve in said sleeve having a passage for gas and adapted to be pressed against said seat on high gas-pressure and to fall by gravity on reduction of said pressure, means for limiting the downward movement of said valve, and means for giving the regulator the desired vertical or inclined position in the gas-pipe, consisting of a socket inserted in said pipe and adapted to receive a regulator, said socket having a by-pass orifice, substantially as described.
