Granted: 1913-07-03
Abstract: 28,442. Pierce, W. R. Dec. 10. Boots and shoes, cleaning and polishing. -A machine for polishing boots while on the feet comprises two concentric tables, one an inner intermittentlyrotated table carrying reciprocating f r a m e s fitted with brushing- mechanisms, and the other an outer continuously-rotated table which receives the brushing - mechanism during the brushing operation. The general arrangement of the machine is shown in Fig. 6. The wearer steps on to an elevated platform supported on the rotary table 78 by standards 80<a> and while grasping a handrail places his feet on the rests 92. These rests protrude through the table and platform and are supported by a roller running on a fixed cam track beneath. As the table and platform move round from the receiving - point, the rests are lowered below the platform to the level of the brushing-mechanisms. When the rests come opposite to the first set of brushing-mechanism, the inner table 59 is clutched automatically to the outer table and rotates temporarily therewith. During this period, the reciprocating frame carrying the brushing-mechanism moves beyond the periphery of the inner table over the rails 79 on to the outer table, thus bringing the brushing-mechanism into contact with the boots. When the brushing-mechanism is withdrawn again, the inner table is declutched. and restored under the action of a spring 86 and dash-pot mechanism 87 to a position in which the brushing- mechanism is in line with the succeeding pair of foot-rests. This movement also brings the first pair of rests into line with the second set of brushing-mechanism, and the brushing operation is repeated similarly for each set of brushing-mechanism. During the rotary movement of the outer table, the heels of the boots are polished by spring-mounted rotary brushes 113. One set of brushing-mechanism is shown in Figs. 1 and 5, and comprises a double row of vertical side brushes 13<a> and an horizontal toebrush 28 for each boot. The vertical brushes are mounted on spring-pivoted arms 10 on the shaft 7 so that they can move apart when encountering the boot. A semicircular polishcontainer 95 is mounted on a spring-pivoted arm close to the brushes at the end of each row, and is drawn into contact therewith by the cord 97 when the reciprocating frame 5 reaches the end of its outward stroke. The toe-brush comprises an internally-bristled cylinder 28 spring-mounted at 32 to permit longitudinal displacement and carried by an arm 23 pivoted to the shaft 22. In one of the brushing-mechanisms, the toe-brush is replaced by a blacking-brush consisting of exposed conical and flat brushes having a similar polish-applying mechanism to that already described. The brushes of each mechanism are all driven by chain gearing connected through a swinging arm 42 to the driving shaft 39. The shafts 39 of the different mechanisms are connected to the central pillar of the machine by belts 69 as seen in Fig. 6. The table 5 is reciprocated by means of a rod 57 connected to the endless chain 56.

The mould consists of a fixed body member 1, Fig. 2, on which slides a wall member 2 carrying a vertically adjustable cap member 3. The fourth side of the mould is formed by a reciprocating plate 4 which contacts with the cap member 3. The member 3 is adjustable vertically by means of a screw 5 for any size of body and the wall 2 is automatically adjustable setwise from a normal position flush with the edge of the plate 4. After the casting, the plate 4 is retracted to open the mould and the type is pushed out by an ejector 6 which normally moves with and forms part of the wall member 2. The member 2 is held by a spring against a stop in the normal position and is retracted by a slide 15, Fig. 4, and a lever 19 until a pin 21 contacts with a stepped or other adjustable stop by which the mould is dimensioned. The ejector 6 can be advanced by the slide 15 independently of the member 2 to eject the type. The member 4 is pressed upwards by a spring but is normally retracted to open the mould by engagement with a reciprocating sprue-plate which is interposed between the pump-nozzle and the mould. The ejected type is advanced by a packer 48 into contact with those already cast. Trimming type. -The sprue-plate descends, after the casting, to cut off the sprue which is then ejected by a lever.

Granted: 1914-05-25
Abstract: 4667. Bucher, J. E. Feb. 24. Blast, composition of; cast-iron processes; cementation; malleableizing. - Free and combined carbon are removed from solid or liquid iron or other metals, for example cast iron, by causing the carbon to combine with nitrogen and an alkali or alkaline-earth metal to form a cyanogen compound. The nitrogen and the metal may be supplied in the form of suitable compounds, for instance ammonia, magnesium nitride, disodium cyanamide, and sodium amide. In the apparatus shown, a charge of iron 23 in a solid state is heated in a tube 1 in a current of nitrogen and sodium vapour. The nitrogen is supplied by a pipe 24, and the sodium is volatilized from a charge placed at 25. The sodium not converted into cyanide is condensed at the exit end of the tube, and may be again passed over the iron by reversing the current of nitrogen. Carbon may be added to the charge to augment the heat supplied by the formation of cyanide. In addition to carbon, the process apparently removes silicon, titanium, vanadium, and similar elements as nitrides, phosphorus as phosphide, and also sulphur. Castings may be treated by the above-described process, and, by alternating such process with a recarburizing process, alternating layers of iron and steel may be produced. The process may be used to soften the surface of metal sheets, wire, bars, nails, or posts.

Abstract: 4947. Smith, E. C. Bowden-. Feb. 26. Direct air-pressure apparatus, automatic.-Relates to ejectors of the type in which liquid is forced by compressed air from a container, and consists in the provision of means for utilizing the exhaust for the purpose of compressing air. Two ejectors r, r<1>, Fig. 4, are adapted for alternate working, the valve arrangements being shown diagrammatically. When the ejector r fills, the float 3 rises and moves the slide valve 4 to the right, thus opening the pipe 9<a> to exhaust, and the pipe 6 to pressure from the supply pipe 11. The piston valve 7 will be forced to the right, and pressure fluid from the pipe 11 can reach the ejector through the port 8 and pipe 12. The pipes 9<a>, 17 being open to exhaust and the pipe 15 to pressure, the valve 13 will remain on its seat. When the float 3 falls, the slide valve 4 will move to the left, opening the pipe 6 to exhaust and the pipes 9<a>, 17 to pressure. The piston valve 7 will thus move to the left and open the pipe 12 to the exhaust pipe 7<a>. The valve 13, however, has been lifted by the pressure fluid, thus admitting pressure fluid to the left of the valve s, and forcing its piston to the right, thus closing the port 18. The exhaust air then passes by the valve u and pipe t to the motor compressor, which is of the type described in Specification 11,381/13, [Class 122 (ii), Steam engine distributing and expansion valves &c.]. The air to the right of valve s has previously escaped by the valve 13 if open, or by a passage (not shown) in the barrel 14<a>. Both ejectors operate in the same manner, and either ejector, when empty, will open the exhaust of the other.
