Abstract: 21,217. Linotype & Machinery, Ltd., [Mergenthaler Setzmaschinen-Fabrik Ges.]. Sept. 26. Moulds for type-bar making machines, change mechanism for. Figs. 1 and 2 show the usual carrier 1 supporting a number of moulds 2, and its driving- pinion 3 loose upon a shaft 4 but normally clutched thereto by a pin-and-slot device 5, 6, 7, 8. An arm 28 pivoted on a bracket 25 has rollers 29, 30 engaging respectively with an annular groove 31 in the boss of the pinion 3 and a cam depression in a collar 26 fast on a shaft 24. A spur-wheel 32 meshing with the pinion 3 is loose on the shaft 24 and has more teeth than the pinion 3, the excess, for instance, four, being an aliquot part of the number, such as twentyfour, on the pinion 3. Means for clutching the wheel 32 to its shaft comprises a pin-wheel 33 on the wheel 32 and a finger 35 on a spring- controlled slide 36 carried in the collar 26. The wheel 33 has a number of pins, e.g., seven, corresponding to each aliquot part of the number of teeth on the wheel 32. A change of mould, requiring the rotation of the pinion 3 through a complete revolution, is produced by rotating the shaft 24 by its crank 23. The arm 28 swings the pinion 3 out of driving engagement with the mould-carrier driving-shaft 4 against a spring 9, and at the same time the finger 35 engages the next pin on the wheel 33. At the end of the rotation of the crank 23, the pinion 3 has been turned through one revolution, and is then re-engaged with the shaft 4. Trimming type-bars; driving-mechanism. - Figs. 6 and 7 show means for stopping the machine when the trimming-mechanism is not in correct adjustment for the particular mould in use. The adjusting-plate 18 of the movable knife 14 is connected through a bell-crank lever 39 to an interponent 40. When the knife 14 has not been adjusted for the same body as the mould, the movement of the mould or the mould-carrier into its casting or trimming position causes a projection 41 thereon to push the interponent 40 and a pin 19 to the front and thereby push a link 21 to stop the machine. When there are more than two moulds on the carrier, the number of steps on the plate 18 is increased, and a number of projections 41 are employed.

Abstract: 5876. Jensen, P., [Clement International Engineering Corporation]. April 12, 1911 Automatic and semiautomatic exchange systems.-In an automatic or semi - automatic system, such as that described in Specification 9142/11, auxiliary switches are employed which are driven always in the same direction and have contact arcs specially for restoring purposes. Thus the switch S', Fig. 4 (which serves partly to select a particular ringing- generator G<1> &c., for party-line purposes, and partly to control the release of the connector S<e>) has a contact arc s'‹‹ connected to an interrupter I and swept by a switch-arm ws<700> connected to the stepping-magnet M<11> of the switch over a back-contact of relay R<27>. When relays R<27>, R<25>, R<24>, and R<22> are de-energized, the circuit of magnet M<11> is completed, and the switch S<7> is stepped forward until it reaches its normal position with the wiper ws<700> off the contact arc s<700>. A similarly-controlled switch is used for governing the succession of events in the operator's circuits. In this case, one of the switch-arms is connected to a relay controlling the stepping-magnet, and the contact-arc over which that switch-arm sweeps is divided into portions having separately-controlled connexions to battery, so that the forward motion of the switch for restoring purposes is differently-controlled according to the position the switch has reached.

Title: Improvements in Moulding Plants for Wrought Iron Pulley Bosses.
Inventor: MORRIS ROBERT HENRY
IPC: B22C9/28
Filed: 1912-06-01
Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 12,924. Morris, R. H. June 1. Moulding-machines; moulders' tools; moulds; flasks; moulding processes. - Apparatus for moulding bosses for wrought iron pulleys comprises a circular horizontal table with a central recess containing a removable concentric ring, a vertical spindle in the centre of the table to act as a guide for the patterns and flasks during moulding, and radiating lines with holes for pegs to guide supports for the arms to be cast in. The table A and ring A', Fig. 2, have a peg b to ensure correct angular relation. Studs a, a<1> secure the proper placing of the flasks so that the split in the casting will come midway between a pair of adjacent arms. The spindle A<11> is splined into the table and has keys to engage with keyways in the boss patterns. A row of fixed studs c<1> is arranged on one diameter, and movable studs c<11> are placed in holes on index lines according to the number of arms required. A hole is provided in the recessed part of the table A to facilitate the removal of surplus sand. The bottom flask B fits the ring A<1>, or in larger sizes the recess in the table, and has a pair of lugs which engage a corresponding pair on the top flask which is guided on the spindle A<11>. The space left between the flasks serves to pass the arms. When double-armed pulleys are to be cast, an intermediate flask is employed with lugs above and below and formed in halves to allow removal from the cast pulley. When the bottom flask has been positioned, it is filled with sand to the level of the surface of the lugs, the lower part of the boss pattern is slid down the spindle and rammed into the sand till its upper surface is level with the surface of the lugs as determined by a revoluble test arm k, Fig. 5. Parting sand is applied, and the upper pattern and boss are fitted in place and rammed. The supports D for the arms are now placed in position, being guided on the studs by a groove d<1>, Fig. 10, and a tin tube of the diameter of the arm is laid successively in the grooves d<11> and revolved and advanced to cut away the sand up to the pattern. The top flask is removed and the patterns are taken out. The arms are placed in the supports and set in the mould to the required diameter by a gauge consisting of a graduated bar held in a clamp, Fig. 8, applied by hand to the edge of the table. The spindle is removed and the core inserted in its place, the top flask is replaced and cottered up. The patterns are provided with projections to form recesses for parting plates to split the bosses. These projections are covered with thin sheetmetal sleeves, which are left in the mould when the patterns are withdrawn and enable the plates to be inserted without distributing the sand. In the case of short arms, grooves f in the supports receive the shoulders against which the rim is riveted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Ammunition Ramming Apparatus of Ordnance.
Inventor: DAWSON ARTHUR TREVOR
IPC: F41A9/42

Granted: 1913-06-19
Abstract: 15,033. Dawson, Sir A. T., and Horne, J. June 27. Loading - appliances. - Relates to chain and telescopic rammers of the kind that are automatically returned to the withdrawn position after each, long or short, ramming-stroke. According to the invention, the automatic reversal is effected by a device which co-operates with the rammer and controls the rammer - reversing apparatus, and is adjustable into either of two positions. In one position, the device is engaged by a speciallyformed chain-link or projection on the rammer at the termination of the projectile-ramming stroke, and in the other position it is engaged by a second link or projection, at the end of the powder-charge ramming-stroke. The device, as described, is adjusted by hand or by a pedal, but it may be automatically adjusted by means described in Specifications 15,045/12 and 15,056/12. Figs. 1 and 4 show a pedal-controlled arrangement applied to a chain rammer. The device shown is a lever D pivoted at d in the rammer-casing A and acted upon by a spring d x, which spring tends to rock the lever into the position shown by the chain-line in Fig. 4. Normally, however, the lever is held in a position intermediate of those shown by a pivoted cam H', the position of which is controlled by a pedal H through levers and links h, h<2>, h<1>, H<1>, and which cam acts upon an arm D' on the spindle d of the lever D. A second arm d', or cam, on the spindle d acts upon the control valve C of the reversing-ram C', the arrangement of the valve C, ram C', rammer-control valve B, and hand-lever B<1> being a known one, the hydraulic connexions of which are not shown. When the projectile is to be rammed, the pedal H is depressed, and the lever D is freed so that it is turned by the spring dx into the position shown in chain-lines. At the end of the ramming-stroke, a projection on the link E of the rammer-chain A<1> engages with and rocks the lever into the position shown in full lines. The cam d<1> is thus moved and actuates the valve C and brings about the reversal of the rammer. For reversing after ramming the powder - charge, the pedal H is released, and the lever D assumes the intermediate position, in which its nose projects further inwards towards the rammer-chain. The lever is thus in position to be engaged by a projection on a second link in the rammer-chain, and the reversal is effected after the rammer has moved through the shorter distance necessary for ramming the powdercharge. The lever D has an arm which co-operates with an hydraulic or other buffer G to bring the rammer gently to rest at the completion of its out-strokes. The links of the chain A' may be formed with pairs of teeth which move relatively to the corresponding teeth of the adjacent links when the chain passes around the sprocket-wheel, as shown in Fig. 4, and engage both front and rear surfaces of the sprocket-wheel teeth to ensure more silent working.
