Title: Improvements in Presses for Moulding Plastic Materials.
Inventor: PENKALA LADISLAS
IPC: B30B11/24
Filed: 1911-05-09
Granted: 1911-10-19
Abstract: 11,208. Penkala, L. May 26, 1910, [Convention date]. Extrusion machines.- In extrusion presses of the type comprising a conical screw a and camwheels b, in order to prevent strain, the mould d is adapted to yield axially against the action of springs j, and is provided with an extension F formed of pivoted flaps f<2> adapted to yield laterally. The moulds d and extension F are mounted so as to rotate with the material, which is severed by a sudden differential movement of the mould obtained by a lever i<1> provided with a detent i<3> adapted to engage with a toothed ring e. The flaps f<2> are formed with hooked ends engaging with a portion e<1> of the ring e, and their outer ends are bevelled and engage with a bevelled restraining-ring f<3> which is held against longitudinal displacement. When the pressure of the material becomes excessive, the mould d slides in the part g and excess of material escapes between the mouthpiece c<3> and the mould d, which are formed with blades a<3>, d<2> to direct the material back to the hopper c. As the extension F moves with the mould d, the ends of the flaps f<2> pass out of the influence of the ring f<3> and yield laterally. In a modification, the extension F is formed of hinged flaps restrained at their outer ends by spring devices. Fig. 9 shows a further modification in which the extension F comprises a number of mould apertures having movable outer walls. To facilitate renewal, the screw a is formed in sections, and to compensate for unequal wear, the thread is progressively strengthened towards the end. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also moulding-machines of the cylinder, reciprocating mouldtable, and rotary mould-table types which have been made the subject of Specification 17,789/11. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1912-08-01
Abstract: 17,819. Eichelberger, W. Aug. 4. Cleaning, fluid - pressure pnocesses for.-For removing soot from boiler tubes, dry steam or other cleaning-agent is forced under pressure from nozzles in a pipe which is jointed to the supply-pipe so that it may be rotated to pass over the ends of the tubes, and may be moved towards the tubes in the direction of their length or withdrawn from them. Valves are employed to drain off the condensation water and admit air to dry out the pipes when the steam is cut off from the cleaning - system. For a boiler with horizontal tubes, Fig. 1, the supply-pipe p is connected by a valve u to a pipe o passing through the wall h. Between the pipe o and a concentric flanged pipe m is a sliding pipe n having an operating-lever t and a sliding gland at one end and an extension k at the other provided with jets y facing the boiler i. When in use, the extension is pushed out of the horizontal recess j in the wall, and is rotated so as to sweep the jets radially over the tube ends. The drip-valve w has a plunger which is normally pressed upwards away from its seat to allow water to drain away, and the air-valve x has a plunger which is weighted so as normally to open a lateral air inlet.
