Patent GB-190429309-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Briquette Making Presses or Apparatus.
Inventor: STEVEN HENRI ACISCLO
Filed: 1904-12-31
Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 29,309. Steven, H. A. Dec. 31. Moulding fuel.-In a briquette press, a movable and a stationary plunger 14, 6 are used, and the mould is made to move in the same direction as the former in order to obtain uniform compression throughout the mass. The coal-paste or other material is fed into the mould 5 from a hopper 1, and the plunger 14 is operated through a toggle joint from a vertical steam cylinder 16, while the mould derives its motion through the lever 11 from a cam 7, which is rotated, together with stirring-apparatus 45, by means of spur-wheels from a countershaft. A roller 12 on the lever 11 is kept in contact with the cam by means of a steam cylinder 9, the piston of which is connected to the mould. The vertical cylinder and piston are single-acting, the return stroke being effected by the weight of the parts. The valves 33 are worked by means of a cam 24, rod 26, levers 27, 28, and a pawl 29 controlled by a spring 30 and engaging with a free lever 31, an air dash-pot 34 being provided. To obtain a steam cushion 38 at the end of the down stroke, a valve 39 is suspended from the piston. If the charge in the mould is insufficient and the piston 15 reaches the limit of its stroke, a tappet 51 strikes the pawl 29 and opens the exhaust, thus preventing the apparatus from passing beyond the dead point, and serving as an indicator. Another safety device consists of holes 52 in the wall of the cylinder 16. If these are covered by the piston, an air cushion is formed. The mould has a perforated lining 46 to allow water and gases to escape, and is arranged in an inclined position to facilitate delivery of the block. The speed of the mould is accelerated towards the end of the stroke to polish the briquette, and its motion is then reversed, whereby the block is disengaged from the fixed plunger 6. The mould is then moved forward again, and the fixed plunger forces the block on to an inclined shoot 48, which leads it out of the machine.

Abstract: 4580. Gimson, J., and Gimson & Co. March 6. Cams.-In a machine for stamping or perforating leather and other material, as in the manufacture of boots and shoes, the plunger, to which the stamps or perforating devices are attached, is reciprocated by a bifurcated lever 12 having legs 13, 14 carrying rollers 22, 23, which alternately engage a concentric cam-groove 19 and an eccentric cam-groove 21 respectively, the two grooves being on opposite faces of a cam 15. Feathered on to the cam-shaft 16 is a sleeve 25 carrying a block 26, which, when a foot or hand operated curved lever 28 is brought down, is engaged by a roller 29 on the curved lever to move the sleeve along the cam-shaft and so press the roller 23, on the leg 14, into the eccentric groove 21 and thus impart reciprocating motion through the lever 12 to the plunger. A concentric portion of the cam-groove 21 has an incline by which it forces out the roller 23 after one rotation of the cam, and the leg 14 acting on a flange 33 of the sleeve 26 returns the sleeve to its normal position.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Mule Jenneys.
Inventor: HEIPT ALBERT EMIL
Filed: 1906-08-08
Granted: 1907-06-06
Abstract: 17,820. Heipt, A. E. Aug. 8. Mules.-A supplementary load, which may be variable, is applied, in addition to the ordinary load, to the counterfaller when it is pulled, down by an increase in the tension of the yarn during the run-in, whereby more tightly.wound cops than usual are produced. In one arrangement, the additional load consists of weights 58, Fig. 3, or a spring resting on or secured to a pivoted lever 49 connected by a chain 57 to a spiral arm 42 loose on the winding-faller shaft 8. A pawl 41 with a lever arm 44 is carried by the counterfaller arm 18 or shaft 9, and during the run-in engages teeth on the arm 42, whereby the additional load is brought into action. After winding, the movement of the winding-faller shaft 8 causes a cam 46 thereon to lift the lever arm 44 and disengage the pawl, the release and engagement of the pawl being facilitated at the respective ends of the stretch by fixed inclines which act on a snug 51 to raise the lever 49 and through the link 54 and arm 56 take the weight off the arm 42. During the run-out, the arm 42 rests on tho counterfaller shuft 9 so that the additional load is ineffective. In another arrangement, the additional load effect is obtained by a band brake 47, Fig. 7, passing over a brake ring 35 mounted on a fixed disk and provided with ratchet teeth 36 engaged by a spring pawl 41 carried from the counterfaller. In this case, the additional load, which is brought into action by an increase in the yarn tension, is constant, the usual counterfaller load being shown as weights 24 on a pivoted lever 25 suspended by a chain 23 from a segment 22 on the counterfaller. A chain 28 secured to a hook 29 pivoted to an arm 31 fixed to the faller shaft 8 passes through a hole 27 in the lever 25, and, when the winding-fuller is in the position for the run-out, with the nose 32 of the arm 31 held against the counterfaller shaft 8 by the spring 33, the chain 28 supports the lever 25, thereby taking all the load off the counterfaller. In another arrangement, the brake device and the weighted lever load are used in combination to provide a supplementary load. The brake ring in this case has its rotary motion limited by a pin on it working in a slot in the fixed disk, and is provided as before with ratchet teeth engaged by a pawl and also with a spiral arm from which a chain passes to a weighted pivoted lever as in Fig. 3, a cam on the winding-faller shaft serving to operate the pawl.
