Inventor: WUERZNER KURT
IPC: B21J15/26
Filed: 1910-09-27
Granted: 1911-05-04
Abstract: 22,395. W³rzner, K. Sept. 27. Riveting; shearing.-In a machine for riveting the metal mountings to purses &c., the riveting-punch U is slidably mounted in a ram P, which is reciprocated in a bracket G by a lever D, and is resiliently connected by a spring C', Fig. 2, to the extension C of a plunger P<1> which carries pivoted nipping-levers J, J'. These levers, which are normally held open by a spring N', first press the work on the anvil A around the rivet, and are then closed by cams 5, 6 on the ram P engaging the rollers N so as to nip off the end of the blank, the cutting- edges being set so as to leave enough of the blank for the formation of the head. The rollers N then move on the cam-surfaces 7, 8 so as to open the levers sufficiently to admit the riveting-punch. The punch is held fixed during the movement of the ram by a spring bolt 10, Fig. 5, which is withdrawn so as to allow the spring 12 to operate the punch by a bevelled pin 11 actuated by a screw T. The pressure of the spring 12 is adjusted by a set-screw L.

Abstract: 13,423. Johnston, J. T. M. June 3. [Cognate Application, 14,522/11.] Cauldrons. - Relates to portable tar-boiling apparatus of the kind having a heated receiver between the cold tar receptacle and the boiler, and consists mainly in forming the heating- surface of the receiver so that the receiver is divided into two parts one of which receives the heated tar passing over the division-plate from the other, which receives the cold tar. The invention is particularly applicable to tar-boiling apparatus of the kind described in Specification 29,615/10, in which case the invention also covers means for heating the suction tube of the pump which supplies the boiler with tar. The removable tar barrel A, pump D, and tar boiler F are shown arranged upon a low trolly B, as in the above - mentioned Specification.

Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 21,218. Linotype & Machinery, Ltd. [Mergenthaler Setzmaschinen-Fabrik Ges.]. Sept. 26. Assembling matrices. -Relates to assembling- mechanism of the kind described in Specification 18,886/95, for composing mixed matter. Fig. 1 shows an assembler-box 1 with fixed upper and lower matrix rails 2, 3, a matrixguide 4, and a rotary pusher 9 having two or more arms, each of which has a seating 10 in its following edge 11. The two-face matrices 6 fall on a fixed surface 14, or on the surface 17 of a manually operable slide 15 according to which of the rails 2, 3 the matrix is to be assembled upon. The seating 10 supports the falling matrix before it reaches the surfaces 14. 17. Fig. 4 shows a modified pusher with edges 13, parallel to a diameter, adapted to engage over the median length of the matrices. The wide arcual tip 12 acts as a stop in the path of the falling matrix until the following seating 10 is ready to receive it. A number of slides 15 may be provided to correspond with the number of faces on the matrices. Fig. 5 shows a modification in which the guide 5 is vertically adjustable for change of face ; the assembler-box, however, may be vertically adjustable relatively to the guide 5. Front and rear plates 18 on the guide constitute with the guide-toe 19 ports 20 through which pass the bottom lugs of the matrices. In order to prevent a matrix from being jammed between the parts 18, 19, the guide 5 may be pivoted at 21 under the control of a spring 22. The plates 18 and pivoted guide may be replaced by two spring plates secured to and depending from the inner faces of the assembler-box at its entrance. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 10, the rail 2 stops short of the mouth of the assembler-box, and constitutes a port 24 through which a matrix may reach the rail 3. Matrices for the upper rail 2 are temporarily supported by auxiliary rails 25. Two pairs of spring pawls 27, 28 of the usual kind are provided to yield before the entering matrix. The rail 2 may be replaced by a rail extending along the full length of the top of the assembler-box.
