Granted: 1901-07-20
Abstract: 6309. Dilg, C. F., and Dilg, C. H. J. March 26. Knives, cleaning and polishing.-The knives &c. to be cleaned &c. are supported on a rest 21 attached to a vertical stem which bears on the horizontal lever 15. The pivot of the lever can be raised and lowered by a screw 18 and nut 17. The lever bears on the ends of the bell-crank levers 12 pivoted at 14 and forked at 13 to engage with the spindles 5 of the polishing-rolls 28. The descent of the rests 21 thus advances the rolls towards one another. The rolls have rubber rims 6 held in place by plates 29, which bear on the block 30 and are fixed by screws 31. Leather 32 covers one side of the blocks 6 and springs 10 tend to press the rolls apart. The axles of the rolls are preferably inclined as shown, but they may lie in the same straight line. The rolls may be actuated by a crank handle 33 on a spindle 7 geared to the spindles 5 by skew bevels 8, 9. The extent to which the rests 21 may descend is determined by an L-shaped plate 23, which is slid vertically by a cam 24 with a handle 26. The adjustment of the cam is to allow for knives &c. of different thickness, and the adjustment of the pivot regulates the degree to which the rolls may be pressed together by depressing the rest 21. The piece 23 carries a pin 27 bearing on the lever 20 pivoted at 33 and arranged to carry spur gearing 42, 43 and the buff, brush, or grinding wheel 44 opposite a similar wheel 40 driven by spur gearing from the spindle 7 when the clutch 80 is operated.

Inventor: ELEY CHARLES VICTOR ALBERT
Filed: 1901-04-24
Granted: 1902-05-24
Abstract: 8399. Eley, C. V. A. April 24. Condensers.-The water of condensation and the injection water are discharged by means separate from and independent of those for withdrawing the air and vapour. Fig. 1 shows a vertical sec tion of one form of the condenser. The exhaust steam enters the condensing-chamber A,at H, and the injection water enters at J. Beneath the chamber A is a water-lock chamber B, which by a valve D can be put alternately into communication with the condensing-chamber and the atmosphere. By these means the water in the condenser flows intermittently into the lock chamber B, which then intermittently empties by gravity. The valve D is operated by atmospheric or other pressure acting on a piston in a cylinder F, under the control of a valve g, g<1> actuated by a float K. The air and vapour are withdrawn by the ejector P. Modifications are also described in which the valves D are enclosed in the chamber B, both in connection with jet condensers and with surface condensers.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Metal Billets and in Machinery therefor
Inventor: HUGHES WILLIAM BISHOP
Filed: 1901-04-30
Granted: 1901-06-01
Abstract: 8863. Hughes, W. B. April 30. Forging; shearing.-In the manufacture of billets from ingots, the ingot is cast in the form of a thick plate, and is fed in a semiplastic condition to a machine for cutting it into strips or billets and compressing each billet. The ingot mould 9, closed by a slide 10, is carried by a truck 8 which can be run over the head 5 of a ram 4. The slide is then withdrawn by connecting it to a ram 11, allowing the ingot I to fall on the horizontal face of a right-angle die 6 on the head, co-acting with a similar die 7 on a thrustblock 2. The forward movement of the head first shears off a billet, and then compresses it between the two dies. The ram and head are returned by draw-bars connected to a ram 28. During such return, the billet is ejected laterally on to a roller table or other conveyer by a ram. The ingot passes through guides 18, and is held in place by a presser-arm 19 on a shaft 20 rocked by a ram. The ingot is preferably made with convex faces to ensure uniform solidity by compression. The dies may be arranged for the compression to precede the shearing, or the whole ingot may be initially compressed and only sheared in the machine. The mould may be placed on its side, and the ram for ejecting the billets used to feed in the ingot, the billets dropping out. The billets may be of any desired section.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Operating Counting Mechanism used in Connection with Platen Printing, Cutting and Scoring Machines.
Filed: 1902-04-25
Granted: 1903-04-09
Abstract: 9590. Lever Bros., Gray, J., and Cheshire, J. April 25. Counting-apparatus.-Relates to means, in platen printing, cutting and scoring machines, such as the " Colt's armoury press," for actuating any suitable form of counting-apparatus, at each operation of the platen when a sheet is in place upon it. Fig. 2 shows a Colt's armoury press, in which A is the stationary type or cutting &c. bed, B is the platen, and C is a counting-apparatus. Sliding through the bed is a rod a, the end of which is normally pressed by a spring c to project beyond the face of the bed. In the platen B is a recess b into which the end of the rod a enters, when the platen closes on the bed, if no sheet is present, so that no actuation of the counting-apparatus takes place. When, however, a sheet of paper or card is on the platen it covers the recess b and actuates the rod a and counting-apparatus. The rod a is pivoted to a lever E, connected by a rod F to a lever G, connected by a rod m to the ratchet lever &c. of the counting-apparatus. A modified arrangement of linkwork for connecting the rod a to a counting- apparatus of different kind is described. To prevent the actuation of the counting-mechanism when the press is not working, the rod a is normally locked by engagement with a sliding bar or rod d, i. One end of this bar engages the wheel D on which is a cam h for moving the bar d and unlocking the rod a when the platen moves up to the bed. The rod a may be arranged to close an electric circuit containing an electromagnet which operates the counting-apparatus. The locking-bar d may also be operated electrically by a magnet in a circuit, closed by the operation of the cam h. The counting-apparatus, when actuated by electrical means, may be at a distance from the press, and more than one apparatus may be actuated. The counting-apparatus may be of any suitable kind, such as one in which an alarm bell is sounded at each hundredth actuation.

Abstract: 11,179. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. May 15. Methylanthranilic esters are produced by heating formylmethylanthranilic acid, C6H4(COOH)N (CH3) (COH), with an alcohol and a mineral acid on a water bath, in a vessel fitted with a reflux condenser, for some hours. In this process the formyl group is eliminated. The excess of alcohol is afterwards distilled off, and the solution is neutralized by excess of alkali carbonate and again distilled for separation of the ester of methylanthranilic acid, which has been formed. The methyl and ethyl esters form colourless crystals, which have a blue fluorescence and melt respectively at 22‹ C. and 36‹ C. The esters are intended for use in the manufacture of artificial perfumes.
