Patent GB-190819433-A (GB)
Title: Improved Folding Machine for Collars, Cuffs and the like.
Inventor: FENBY EDGAR BEVERLEY
Filed: 1908-09-16
Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 19,433. Fenby, E. B. Sept. 16. Folding - instruments.- In a machine for folding the edges of collar, cuff and like blanks, the folders, the parts of the collapsible templet or die, and the heated presserbed are operated by toggle mechanism. The variable movements of the end folders and the end die parts are obtained from quadrants and the positions of the slide blocks in the quadrants are determined by holes in the folders and die plates. The front and back die plates 108, 109, Fig. 15, are held by carriers which are secured to two plates 67, 68 slidably mounted on the die head. These plates are operated by two bars 62, 63 on either side of a central draw-bar 61, to which they are connected by several toggle links. When the bar 61 is moved longitudinally the bars 62, 63 and the die plates 108, 109 are moved apart. The two central die carriers which are secured by screws to the blocks 79, 80 are fixed to the plates 67,68. The others are slidably mounted in pairs so that they may be moved to accommodate different sizes of die plates. The end die plates 110, 111, 112, 113 are held by carriers 82, Fig. 4, which are slidably mounted on the carriers for the front and back die plates, so that they participate in their lateral motion. In addition, they receive longitudinal motion, so that they leave the corners of the folded blank in a diagonal direction, through links 84 and quadrants 86 by which they are connected to the opposite carriers. When the front and back die plates approach, the carriers 82 are moved inwards, and, when they separate the carriers 83 are moved outwards. The longitudinal movements are varied for different sizes of dies by altering the positions of the joint pins in the quadrants as determined by holes in the die plates. The front and back die plates are locked in their extended positions by blocks 99 which are moved into and out of operative position by a cam-actuated lever 91, Fig. 1. The end die plates are locked in position by blocks 101 which in their releasing-movements are caused to withdraw horizontally a certain distance and then move vertically. The front and back folders are operated by bars 20 and 21 connected by toggle links with draw-bars 22. The end folders 12, Fig. 10, are carried by parallel levers 36 pivoted to blocks 37 on the bed-plate and are operated by direct connexion, or by the toggle connexion 41, 42, with the back folder 16. The blocks 37 'are mounted in slides and can be positioned in accordance with the size of the dies. The presserbed 14 is pressed upwards by bars 115, 116 connected by toggle links to the draw-bars 117. The bars 117 are operated by a compound lever comprising a main lever arm and an auxiliary arm pivoted to it. The cam-bowl is mounted on the auxiliary arm and a spring is interposed between it and the end of the main lever. The machine is driven through a suitable clutch which is brought into operation by a treadle and is thrown out after one complete cycle of movements by a trip on the main-wheel of the machine.

Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 8112. Buckley, P. April 5. Closed casings for igniting miners' lamps underground. - Relates to apparatus for electrically igniting miners' lamps in mines, of the type in which the lamp chamber consists of an inner and an outer casing having coinciding apertures for the insertion of the lamp, one of the casings being rotatable. The lamp is placed on a rotatable table 8, with the lamp terminal 3<Y> in contact with an insulated spring contact-pin 9, and on the rotation of the inner casing 4 by means of a handle 5<x>, the opening 2<y> is closed before the igniting-means come into operation. A cam 14 on the casing 4 then releases a catch 12 from the table 8, which is rotated by the engagement of a spring pin 28 with a recess 27 in the base of the lamp. A spring contact-pin 19 attached to the table bridges a gap in the lamp circuit and ignites the lamp. At the same time, a pin 23, Fig. 2, on the base of the inner casing, engages a pivoted plate 24 against a spring 26 until arrested by a stop 21. On releasing the casing, the springs 26, 22 return the casing and table, so that the electrical connexion is broken, the table is re-engaged by the catch 12, and the casing 4 can be rotated to allow the removal of the lamp.

Title: Improvements in Firebars and in the Method of and Means for Casting them or the like Articles in Chills.
Inventor: BROWN DAVID
Filed: 1909-10-28
Granted: 1910-09-29
Abstract: 24,739. Brown, D. Oct. 28. Moulds; clamping moulds.-Fire-bars or like articles are so designed that they may be cast in a two-part metal chill without liability to fracture. For casting bars of the form shown in Fig. 1, a chill as shown in Fig. 4 is employed. The fire-bar is wedge-shaped in section, tapered longitudinally and cast with a distance-piece 3 at one end only. A pin 4, which is driven into the bar when cast, provides for central spacing of the bars. The lower part 6 of the chill contains the moulded form 8 of the bar, the upper face of which, when cast, lies flush with the machined upper surface of the lower chill. The upper part of the chill is hinged at 9 to the lower part, and is provided with the usual gate 11 and vents. A clamp 10 serves to hold the parts of the chill together during pouring. In fire-bars having distance-pieces at the centre and at both ends, as shown in Fig. 6, the square edges of the distance-pieces are bevelled off, as shown at 12. The chill for this form of bar is divided centrally and longitudinally into two parts 13, 14, which are pivoted together and held by clamps such as 10 during pouring, the clamps being knocked off immediately the bars set in the chill to avoid the shoulders binding against the mould during longitudinal contraction, which merely results in a slight opening of the mould. The jaws of the clamps may be made resilient by a spring construction so that they would not require to be removed. It is preferred to make up the lower chill of separate parts, as shown in Fig. 7, the fixed side block 13 being bolted to a bed-plate 16.

Abstract: 24,737. Wrightson, S. S. Oct. 25. Ground levers for railway and tramway points and switches are formed with a cam-surface adapted to engage a compression spring, by which the lever and points are retained in their set position; when desired, the spring can be held out of operation by a foot-lever. In the construction shown in the drawing, the spring e held vertical by the side frames is adapted to engage the V-shaped surface on the lever and thus retain it in either of its extreme positions. Foot-levers f, mounted on the pin c, when depressed, hold the spring away from the cam and thus reduce the force necessary to move the lever. By suitably shaping the cam, the lever can always be brought back to its initial position.
