Abstract: 18,774. Peters, F. M. Aug. 20. Biscuits.-A machine for spreading sugar &c. on wafers and pressing a second wafer on the layer of sugar comprises a conveyer band 13 mounted on rollers 14, 14<1>, which are driven from the main shaft 15 by suitable gearing. The wafers are carried under a hopper 40 which is pivotally, mounted on one of two transverse bars 39 connecting the upright arms 38, and is detachably secured by a catch 41 to the other transverse bar. A plate 42 is pivoted inside the hopper and controls the size of the outlet at the bottom of the hopper, being. adjusted for this purpose by a handle 43 connected to the plate ; this handle carries a detent 45 which engages a rack on the segmental gauge-plate 44 and indicates the size of the discharge outlet. An adjustable plate 51, pivoted to the edge of the hopper outlet, carries a blade 54<X>, the lower edge of which is designed to spread the paste and is pressed on the wafer by a spring 55, being adjusted by a screw 52 which passes through a fixed bar 53. A shaft 46, mounted in the hopper 40, carries two arms 49 connected by a transverse plate 50, which is designed to agitate the material and is actuated by the gear-wheel 34 to which is pivoted one end of a rod 48, the other end being attached to a lever 47 carried by the shaft 46. A band 58, mounted on rollers 56, 56<1>, passes with the conveyer band 13 between two plates 60, 61 supported by the uprights 59, and serves to press the second wafer on the layer of paste, the pressure being varied by adjusting the plate 61. A band 31 is similarly mounted at the other end of the machine and is driven from the main shaft 15 through gearing 25, 33, 34, 35, 36, 32. Specification No. 12,609, A.D. 1906, is referred to.

Granted: 1908-09-24
Abstract: 25,357. Rosalt, H. Nov. 15. Nickel, cobalt, copper, gold, tungsten, iron &c. salts, oxides, and hydrates.-Ores, such as garnierite, nickel, cobalt, copper, gold, or tungsten, which may contain iron, in the form of sulphides, arsenates, sulpho-arsenates, oxides, or silicates, and which may first be roasted, are treated with chlorine or a chlorinating agent, for example hydrochloric acid, and ozone either simultaneously or consecutively. The chlorides are separated in a filter-press, and the residue is washed with water. Just sufficient magnesia is added to precipitate the iron present, and the precipitate is filtered off. Any nickel and cobalt thrown down may be extracted by means of ammonia. The nickel and cobalt are precipitated by a further addition of magnesia. Magnesia and chlorine may be recovered from the magnesium chloride.

Abstract: 28,651. Jones, H. Sefton-, [Rogers Addresser Co.]. Dec. 30. Addressing-machines. - The type-plates P are fed from a hopper C by stops b<4> on chains B, and pass over a grooved supporting- plate F, under the adjustable spring - pressed inking-roller D, and between the pressure rollers G, H. The roller H mounted in spring-controlled bearings, is formed with a centre portion of soft rubber between rings of harder rubber, and acts as a separator to draw the top envelope E from the pile table I, the remainder being kept back by rubber strips on a metal plate i<3>, adjustable with respect to the roller H by screws i<4>. Rising and falling front stops, controlled by adjustable cams at the side of the roller G, arrest the fed envelope until it is in correct position to pass above the printing-plate and between the rollers. The plates then pass between guides J, j<1> to a stacker M, actuated as shown, to pile them in the drawer L, while the envelopes pass straight into a delivery tray, not shown. The handle b<6> is coupled to the machine through a ratchet to prevent backward motion. The plates P are formed, as shown in Fig. 17, with down-turned stamped ridges 2, to prevent the type from coming into contact with the underside of the next plate. They carry an index card 8, and either loose type 12 in troughs 11, or a piece of rubber strip with the type formed thereon. The lower corners are preferably rounded as shown, to facilitate their replacement in the drawer, which is a metal trough with wooden ends, one end being lined with rubber &c. to deaden the sound of the plates falling therein. The plates have ears 4, which overlap the edges of the drawer and hold them approximately upright. These ears are also engaged by the spring-held pivoted ledges c<6> of the hopper C.

Making nails; forging; rolling. -In a machine for making horseshoe nails, a blank 10, Fig. 6, of sufficient size to form two nails and provided with a central nick, is carried by a turretdisk to a number of rolls on each side of the disk, the rolls being traversed and pressure being exerted by 'cam-operated means. The turret-disk 1, Fig. 12, contains eight slots 9 formed at an angle of 45 degrees to the diameter, and is moved intermittently by a pawl 30 and locked by a bolt 35. The edges of the slots are of renewable hardened steel pieces having bevelled edges to form the nicks in the blanks. The rolls 7, 8, Figs. 3 and 11, are mounted on adjustable rods 26 carried by slides 6 reciprocated by a crank and connecting-rod from shafts 13, 14; the pressure of the rolls is obtained from slides 15 operated through adjustable screws 16 on toggle-like levers 18 actuated by cams 20, the levers being replaced by a single lever and the slides by pivoted blocks in a modified construction. The blanks may be formed by indenting and feeding a strip by means of segmental rolls 55, Fig. 6, with dies 54 let in, and cutting-off by shear blades 56; in a modification, Fig. 8, the nicking and cutting-off are performed by dies 58 and shear blades 59.
