Patent GB-189918233-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in, and in Mechanism or Apparatus for use in, the Manufacture of Nuts for Screw Bolts and the like.
Inventor: ASTON EPHRAIM
Filed: 1899-09-09
Granted: 1900-08-04
Abstract: 18,233. Aston, E., and Aston, A. Sept. 9. Making nuts. - A machine for making hexagonal or octagonal nuts from a heated iron bar is arranged in duplex form as shown in Fig. 2. The driving-shaft C, with fast and loose e pulleys B and a flywheel D, is geared to upper and lower shafts F, G, and to side shafts L, M. The machine is described with reference to the making of hexagonal nuts. Octagonal nuts are produced by slightly modifying the shapes of the tools. A slide P, vertically reciprocated by cams R, S on the shaft F, is normally held in its upper position by rods and levers connected to springs Q. A slide T on the slide P is depressed by a cam U, but is normally held up by a spring r. The relative movement of the two slides is limited by a pin i and slot. The slide P carries a hollow plunger A' in which is a punch C', screwed into half-nuts m clamped on the slide T. A similar arrangement of tools and slides is in connection with the shaft G. The plungers can enter a die plate U' in a table Q<1> on the standard A. The table has slides N', Fig. 7, operated from the shafts L, M and carrying indenting and cutting-off tools S'. A stop f<1>, with a partial hexagon on its face, registers with a hexagonal hole in the die-plate U<1>. In operating on a bar, the bar is placed against the stop and a waste end cut off by the inner pair of points on the tools S', while the outer pair indent the bar at the required distance from the bevelled ends. The cutting and indenting points have angles corresponding to the angles of the nuts. The shaped end of the bar is then pushed against the stop, and the tools S<1> again operate, severance taking place at the previously-indented place. The plungers and punches then move towaids one another, the blank being moved down and compressed between the two plungers in the die-plate. The lower punch is projected slightly above its plunger to start the hole in the lower side of the blank, and is then withdrawn to allow the upper punch to descend and punch out the hole without burr. The plungers now move down to discharge the punched piece from the lower plunger by means of the lower punch and to clear the nut from the upper punch. Both pieces are then swept away by an arm l', Fig. 5, operated through a spring rod n' from a cam O<2>. After the preparation of the end of the bar, the whole of the material is used in the making of the nuts except the final piece of the bar.

Notched flat iron bars f fit in grooves in the side ribs of the blocks, and interlock with the #-iron bars or purlins which fit in the recesses c of the blocks. The edges of the blocks may be recessed to receive ornamental tiles, or glass plates for skylights. Fig. 17 shows a portion of an arch or bridge constructed of curved blocks between concentric T-iron bars d. The edges of the blocks are formed with rounded interlocking ribs a and grooves b, and are recessed at b<2> to receive keys or pegs of oak steeped in tar. Steps or stairs are constructed of rabbeted blocks i, Fig. 23, fitting over hollow blocks supported by T-iron bars d. The hollow blocks may rest on projecting blocks built into the side walls, and may be supported by rolled joists. Fig. 26 shows a floor or roadway constructed of grooved blocks supported by T-iron bars d. Quoins, buttresses, and bonding- blocks are made with transverse recesses in the ribs to receive the recessed edges of adjacent blocks.

Granted: 1902-03-20
Abstract: 24,683. Berry, G. F., and Lawes & Co., J. B. Dec. 4. Bricks, slabs, tiles, &c.-Relates to improvements in cements, mortars, or plasters, and in the adaptation of the same in the manufacture of bricks, tiles, slabs, artificial stone, &c. and as electric insulating-compositions. In the manufacture of cements &c., the crude calcium sulphate precipitated during the manufacture of tartaric, citric, carbonic, and other acids is employed, and also the clinker and ashes resulting from combustion in gas generators or producers, or forced draught, reverberatory, and other furnaces. The calcium sulphate is dried by means of waste heat from the open kilns in which it is subsequently dehydrated. The kilns are heated by the products of combustion from gas producers or furnaces, the temperature not exceeding 340‹ F. To produce Keene's cement, the dehydrated gypsum is steeped in, or sprinkled with, a 6 to 10 per cent solution of alum or borax, and is then re-calcined, cooled, and ground. To produce hydraulic lime, it is ground together with blast-furnace clinkers or ashes, calcined limestone, and quicklime. To produce Portland cement, the aforesaid hydraulic lime is mixed with cement clinker, and is re-calcined, cooled, and ground. The Portland cement so prepared may be mixed with sand and moulded into bricks, tiles, slabs, or artificial stone ornaments or decorations, which are dried slowly in the air. Resin or pitch may be added to the mixture of Portland cement and sand, the mixture being rendered plastic, either by heat, or by means of a volatile solvent. This composition is suitable for switchboard bases, and for other electric insulating purposes.
