Granted: 1914-05-28
Abstract: 14,286. Crosthwaite, J. W., and Plumb, F. E. June 20. Conveyer apparatus, jet-pump; nozzles; regulating or controlling action.-The pressure in hydraulic apparatus is proportioned to the resistance to be overcome by combining a high and low pressure supply by the use of an injector. Water under pressure is supplied through the passage l, and on passing through the annular conical passage h<1>, draws in lowpressure water through the passage k and nozzle 9. The mixed fluid is delivered through the passage m to the hydraulic apparatus. The pressure of water delivered is automatically proportioned to the resistance by forming the passage 12 in a plunger 8 which is forced to the right against the reaction of a spring 20, thus adjusting the size of the passage h<1>. When the resistance is great, and the liquid flows slowly, the valve 5 drops on its seat, and the high-pressure supply alone is used. For pressures above 150 lb. per sq. in. the nozzle shown in Fig. 6 is used, having a solid tapering end 22 and outlet orifices 23.

Abstract: 8597. Vulcan Foundry, and Colling- wood, W. April 4. Riveting.-In a pneumatic riveting-machine of the type in which two opposed pneumatic riveters are fitted at the ends of a U shaped frame, one or both of the riveters is or are axially adjustable in the frame to vary the force of the blows and of the holding-up pressure. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the riveters D are held by clips g<1> in screwed sleeves G carried by tapped eyes b<1> in the heads B, which are pivoted to the frame arms at b. The heads are angularly adjusted by hand-operated worms E engaging the faces of the extensions b* of the heads, the toothed portion of the face being pivoted at b<7> to the main portion to allow the angles of the teeth to adjust themselves to the worm as the arm turns. The heads are mounted on eccentric pins b<3> operated by handles b<4> to effect a vertical adjustment and are locked in position by a handle b<5>. One of the heads may be fixed and the adjustment of the riveters may be effected by air, gas, or other fluid pressure instead of by screwed sleeves, or by screwing the riveters directly into the eyes b<1>. Arms H on opposite sides of the frame and connected by rods h and levers h<1> may be used for signalling purposes. The frame A. may be suspended at an angle by displacing the ring c, which engages a screw C carried by the frame and rotated by chains c<2>. Riveting-snaps of the kind described in Specification 13,543/11 may be utilized. Continuous holding- up pressure is applied to each head of the rivet, while blows are independently delivered to one or both ends of the rivet. According to the Provisional Specification the riveters may rest against spring or rubber buffers in their sleeves to reduce vibration.
