Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for the Manufacture of Amplifying Horns.
Inventor: REDDIE LOVELL NEWTON
Filed: 1908-10-01
Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 20,631. Reddie, L. N., [Cunnius, A. R.]. Oct. 1. Trumpets.-A process and apparatus for making horns of wood or other fibrous material is described. The horn is composed of two layers of assembled elements each layer chiefly composed of long ribs cut from pieces of composite cross-grain veneer, the grains being at about 45 degrees to each other. Elements 18, Fig. 9, are assembled together on a form 20, which is the shape of the interior of the horn, and is preferably of wood, pieces 21 of the composite veneer being placed in the lower parts of the spaces left between the lower portions of the elements 18. The elements are then secured to the form by brads, and the filling-strips 23, made of a single layer of veneering, are secured in place by glued tapes 24. Other glued tapes 25, 26, 27 are added, and when dry the brads are removed. The outer layer is then formed by placing each element 19 in break-joint fashion over half of each of two elements 18, rings 29, Fig. 10, with internal projections ensuring the regular formation of channels 28. A heavy ring 33 assists the fitting, and brads are then driven through into the form 20. Decorating-pieces 35 of the composite veneer are inserted, and tapes 36, 37, 38 are glued around them. When dry, the brads are removed and the layers separated. The inner layer is placed on a hollow glueing-form 39, Fig. 12, with arrangements, such as steam-pipes 40, 41, for heating. Glue is spread on the tapes of the inside layer, and entirely over the inner surface of the outer layer, and the two layers are accurately fitted together. A number of arms 42 pivoted to the form 39 at 43 are clamped around the elements 19, covering also the pieces 35, a ring 44 with recesses correctly spacing the top ends of the arms. Stops or hooks or lugs may be used instead of the pivotal connexion 43 to prevent upward movement of the arms 42 on clamping. U-shaped parts 57 attached to the arms and embracing the sides of the strips 19 may assist in guiding the latter. When dry, the horn is placed, with its flaring end up, in a frame in which it rests at its lower extremity on a centring-pin, and in which the rim of the horn is glued on and held in position till set by clamps and a clamping-ring ; the horn is then cleaned, sand-papered and finished, and a cap put on the small end. The grains of the veneer are so arranged that the inside and outside surfaces of the horn have the grain running longitudinally, while the grains of the two inside layers of veneer that are in contact are approximately at rightangles to one another.

Title: Improvements in Inking Devices.
Inventor: CHIPPERFIELD WALTER
Filed: 1908-11-10
Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 24,067. Chipperfield, W. Nov. 10. Copying documents.-Duplicators, especially those of the kind in which the stencil and its pad travel around two or more rollers, are constructed with self - feeding inking - rollers which can be operated at intervals to deliver a limited quantity of an ink, such as a thick ink, to the pad. The roller consists of an outer cylinder a, fast on end disks d, c, driven by a shaft t, and an inner cylindrical piece h keyed to a shaft g, the ink being contained in the space between parts a, h. The ink is fed from this spage through apertures i into a reservoir f formed in the cylinder a, and is delivered from a series of holes b in the cylinder a in definite quantities by rotating the cylinders h relatively to the cylinder a, spring-pressed plungers k serving to sweep the ink into the reservoir f, and thus forcing ink from the holes b. The cylinders a, h normally rotate together owing to the engagement of a pawl on cylinder a with a ratchet r on the shaft g, but when the ink is to be delivered, a lever u, Fig. 6, is actuated ; and this causes a cam y to bear on a pin at w on a spring-controlled pawl-carrying slide, and the ratchet r is rotated and with it the cylinders h. The lever u is controlled by a spring 3, and when depressed is engaged by a catch 2, which is released by the action of the pin w on a projection 1 of the catch 2. To charge the roller, the cylinders a, h are brought to the position shown in Fig. 2, and ink is inserted through a normally spring-closed stopper in a dividing body l, which is connected on both sides to the space between the cylinders a, h. Suitable vent-holes are provided. The roller may work in conjunction with rollers, 5, 6, which may have a longitudinally reciprocating movement to equalize the distribution. To prevent the lever u from being operated when the rollers 5, 6 are not in position, one of two shafts 8 from which the rollers are supported is provided with a slot 10 which only permits the lever u to be operated when the rollers are correctly placed. The shafts 8 are operated by a push-spindle, which is so arranged that, when the apparatus is out of use, the rollers 5, 6 are raised out of action by the pushing-in of the spindle to allow the cover to be put on. An index finger 12 in connexion with the ratchet indicates the amount of ink in the roller.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Engines, Pumps and Compressors.
Inventor: GRAY HARRY
IPC: F01C1/10
Filed: 1909-11-02
Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 25,247. Gray, H., and Drummond, C. S. Nov. 2. Gyratory-piston type; packing drums, vanes, etc.; distributing and cut-off.-The piston comprises two or more partly-cylindrical intersecting lobed portions, and rotates on its own axis in one direction within a fixed casing comprising three or more partly cylindrical intersecting portions, the piston also gyrating around the centre of the casing in the opposite direction to that of its rotation. Three distributing-valves are provided, one for each lobed portion of the casing, and they are operated by the rotation of bearing-blocks for the main shaft caused by the gyratory motion of the piston. Three packing- strips forming a triangle are provided at each end of the casing, and divide the casing into three separate lobed chambers. Fig. 1 shows a view in longitudinal section, and Fig. 2 shows a view in transverse section taken in the plane II-II, Fig. 1. The piston a is fixed on the main shaft d, which rotates on its axis in the direction of the arrow x, and simultaneously gyrates in a circle z in the opposite direction, i.e. that of the arrow y. The shaft d is provided with roller bearings e, g formed of helical springs to prevent grinding at high speeds, these rollers being mounted in eccentric holes in cylindrical bearing-blocks f, and between the bearing - blocks f and the casing respectively. The bearing - blocks thus rotate because of the gyration of the piston and shaft d twice as fast as the rotation of the shaft d; this is utilized to operate the oscillatory distributing- valves 2 through cams 4, each valve being thus operated twice in every revolution of the piston, or once for each lobe. Pinions k on the shaft d gear with internally toothed rings l in the casing, the ratio of the gearing being two to three, for instance, 20 teeth on each pinion k and 30 teeth on each ring l. The power is transmitted from the shaft d to the power shaft by a universal joint 10 or by flexible shafting; or the piston may be free upon its shaft, which is then connected by crank-webs to the power shaft; or the power may be taken from the revolving blocks f. The flat ends of the lobed chambers of the casing may be isolated by a packing-ring or segments, or by flat strips 1 lying in recessed grooves in the end walls of the casing and provided with springs. Shoes q, rocking in spring-pressed splines r which slide in recesses in the casing, pack the piston, which does not touch the walls of the casing. Cylindrical shoes rolling in the splines r may replace the shoes q. The distributing-valves may slide, oscillate, rotate, or lift, and are driven by one or more cams on the bearing-blocks f, or by eccentrics or otherwise. The cams may be duplicated to provide for reversal of the engine, or gearing maybe provided for shifting the relative positions of the cams.

Edge-setting.-In an edge-setting machine, a spring-supported fingerrest projecting from the frame of the machine is moved inwards, to permit presentation of the shank portion of the sole to the tool, by depressing a treadle. The tool-carrying head 24 of the machine is reciprocated in horizontal slides 13, 19, in a bracket 11 projecting from a sleeve 10, which rides on a collar 7 extending from one of the bearings of the operating-shaft 5. A conical crank-pin 28 on the shaft enters a coned bearing in a block 25 moving in a vertical slide in the tool-carrying head. The sleeve 10 may be adjusted on the collar 7, and the upper slide 13 along an incline in the bracket, to take up wear on the crank-pin and slide respectively. The toolcarrier 38, which is provided with tool-supporting pins 52 to engage recesses in the tools 48, is mounted on a conical support on a bearing 36 projecting from a plate 35 carried by an arm, which is pivoted at 31 to arms 30 depending from the head 24. Springs 53 lock the tools on their supporting-pins; and small projections engaging in recesses in the tools prevent rotary movement. The plate 35 moves in guides 49 extending from the front of the head, and is pressed downwards against a stop by a spring 50. The tool-carrier is held on its support by locking-members 45, which are carried by a loose pin 40, extending from a socket in the arm 32 and normally held in a forward position by a spring 41. The locking-members extend through slots in the plate 35, and engage in recesses 47 formed in the carrier, thus forcing the carrier on its conical support and locking it with one of the tools in operative position. The tools may be heated while in operative position, by a suitably-placed burner.

Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 12,800. Clegg, L. H. May 26. [Cognate Application, 15,478/10.] Fulling.-A batt or lap of felt or like material after the hardening process is completed is wound upon a roller or other supporting- device, which is then withdrawn, and the roll is completely enveloped in a wrapping, which is stitched-up, and the enveloped roll is then submitted to the milling or fulling operation. By this means, uniformity of fulling treatment is obtained. The roller may be a tapered roller, or a roller with a removable flange, a bayonetjointed roller or one having socketed parts. A sheet of hessian, canvas, or other fabric about the width of the piece may be wound one or more times round the roll, but need not be fastened, and the whole is then enclosed in the envelope of canvas or other wrapping: In place of the sheet of hessian or the like, the free end F<1>, Fig. 3<a>, may be tacked by twine or thread c. The tacked end F<1> is doubled upon itself, and then rolled around the roll F. This protects the roll and prevents undue spreading in width at the end. After the first milling operation, the felt may be unrolled, and rewound on the roller with the layers which were previously outermost, rolled innermost. The roll is again enveloped and then again milled. Further unwinding and doubling upon itself once or twice, rewinding, enveloping, and milling as before may follow. A small travelling-vehicle on wheels i, Fig. 11, having friction rollers e driven through worm gearing f from a shaft g having driving-pulleys g<1> may be provided for winding, the winding-roller being supported on brackets h, but the winding may be done in any other way.
