Title: Improvements in or relating to Low Quad Type Moulds.
IPC: B41B7/04
Filed: 1909-07-29
Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 17,580. Lanston Monotype Corporation, [Bancroft, J. S., and Indahl, M. C.]. July 29. Moulds, low-quad, for type-casting machines, and of the kind described in Specifications 18,231/06 and 10,010/07. The mould-blade comprises a main section 7, one side of which is cut away after the manner described in Specifications 13,076/07 and 13,077/07, the cut-away part however being extended to a point below the opening 11, and coinciding with the bottom of the opening 10. The upper cut-off section 8 of the mould-blade corresponds in width with the mould-blade channel, and is formed with a web 12 which terminates in rear of the end of the section 8 and is slotted for the passage of the top bearing 4, the member 17 being furnished with a bearing-surface 18 to receive the bearing 4. The surfaces 13, 14 ride upon the upper edge of the main section 7. The front stop 5 extends through the openings 10, 15 over a lug 16, which projects into the opening 10. The surfaca 18 is depressed by the bearing 4 and the member 17 is thus put under tension so as to tilt the section 8 upon its rear bearing 14 and hold its front bearing 13 down upon the main section. The rear wall 20 of the recess in the main section serves to aline the front faces of the sections when the cut-off section is retracted. The movements of the two sections are accomplished by means of two levers 21, 22 preferably having tteir ends connected by a spring 26 which tends to cause the blade-engaging ends of the levers to approach one another. The spring retracts the cut-off section 8 except when the section is advanced by means of a lever 27 or other device acting upon the lever 21. Means such as are described in Specification 18,231/06 may be employed for controlling the actuator 27.

Abstract: 29,971. Bonson, W. W. Dec. 24. Separating by shaking-apparatus; pneumatic separating. -In a process for separating ore from lighter material, the mass is delivered to a moving meshed surface up through which air is forced, and the gangue is separated on one portion of the surface and the ore concentrated on another portion. The apparatus may consist of a slightly-inclined and longitudinally-reciprocated table 2 covered with a mesh, above which are secured upper and lower series of oppositely-inclined deflectors 8, 10. One or more longitudinal rails 12, secured to arches 5 carried by a frame 4 surrounding the table, are provided with gates 14, 16, 18, which are adjustable by means of screws 13. Notches 15 are provided in the lower edges of the gates to engage the deflectors 8. The gate 14 is adjusted so as to stand almost at the top of the deflectors 8, the gate 16 a little lower, and the gate 18 just clear of the mesh. Rails 20, 22 secured to the arches 5 are connected together by deflectors 24 arranged above, but inclined in the opposite direction to, the deflectors 8. The upper deflectors 10 may be dispensed with between the gate 14 and the rail 20. The surface-dried ore is fed along the head of the table at A up to the first gate 14, and the gangue is delivered at the lower end of the table at B, D, and G. The ore passes under the gates into the space between the rails 20, 22, and a gate 25 on the rail 22 is adjusted so that the amount of ore passing from the bottom of the concentrating-bed into the discharge shoot 26 is equal to that delivered to the bed from beneath the gate 18. The remaining gangue and middlings and other waste is delivered at the foot of the bed between the rails 20, 22 at H.

Abstract: 19,921. Luckweil, A. Sept. 7, 1910, [Convention date]. Braid.-A fabric suit able for belting, particularly in hoisting- machinery, is composed of a number of braided ropes connected together in the course of manufacture. This is effected on a number of groups A, B, &c. of four or more centre disks, each group of which produces a rope or cord as if it were a separate machine. The cords so formed may be connected by auxiliary strands from bobbins such as a, b, c, d running on centre-disks A<2>, B<2> and interlacing with strands from bobbins such as e, f, g, h running on centre disks A<4>, B<3>. The cords may also be connected together by the interlacement of the strands of adjacent cords. In this case one cord is produced on a group of disks A', A<3>, A<4>, A<2>, an adjacent cord on a group A', A<2>, B', B<3>, and so on, all the cords being connected together. The modified form of braid shown in Fig. 1 is obtained when alternate centre disks only are furnished with bobbins.

Title: Improvements in Starting Systems for Multi-cylinder Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: BELL JOHN DALRYMPLE
IPC: F02N99/00
Filed: 1911-09-19
Granted: 1912-06-20
Abstract: 20,736. Bell, J. D. Sept. 19. Starting. - In the automatic device described in Specification 22,484 / 10, t h e valve member normally closes the inlet. The valve B in the chamber A<2> is normally held in a central position by a spring- pressed plunger F. Mixture is admitted through the inlet E and raises the plunger F, admitting mixture to the hole C in the valve B, whence it passes by leak passage D to the cylinder. If one cylinder has its valve closed, the rising pressure moves the valve B to admit more mixture. If the valves of both cylinders are open, the piston B is not moved. The invention is thus applicable to six-cylinder engines. When the mixture is shut off, the conical end of the falling plunger F engages the hole C and draws the valve B back to its normal position. The valve B may be held in place by two springs instead of by the plunger. In a modification, ball-valves held down by plungers under pressure of rocking plates are employed.

Granted: 1912-06-13
Abstract: 21,263. Holden, R. A., and Galloway, C. Sept. 26. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Counters actuated by reciprocating mechanism; transfer mechanism; zeroizing-mechanism. -In apparatus for use in connexion with typewriters for counting the number of words typed, having a key 1 for actuating the counter and the spacing-bar 3 simultaneously, the counter can be independently operated by means of a second key 13 on the typewriter. The counter described comprises transfer mechanism of the self-contained type and zeroizing-mechanism, but any known type of counter may be employed. The key 1, which partly overlaps the spacing- bar 3, moves the slide-bar 7 to the left, by means of a cam-projection 6, thereby rocking a rod 10 and the pivoted pawl-carrying arm 16 of the counter. The spacing-bar can be independently depressed without actuating the counter. The key 13, on depression, moves the slide-bar by means of a similar cam-projection 12 and actuates the counter without affecting the spacing-bar. The ratchet-wheel 17 of the counter actuates the wheels 19, 20, 21 upon the tens, hundreds, &c. spindle through continuous gearing as shown in Fig. 5. Depression of a lever 32 causes the disengagement of the transfer train, part of which is mounted on a pivoted lever 28; the index hands are thereupon returned to zero by means of weighted arms 25, 26, 27. The keys 1, 13 may actuate the counter by means of electro-magnets.
