IPC: F16D65/06
Filed: 1909-07-14
Granted: 1910-05-12
Abstract: 16,404. Luke & Spencer, and Waterhouse, C. July 14. Block, rubber, and like apparatus.-In brake shoes for acting on the wheels of tramcars &c., of the type comprising a recessed metal holder filled with emery or like abrasive material, the emery &c. is moulded into blocks, which are then attached to the holder so as to be readily removed for renewal. The emery blocks b are made of dovetail form, as shown, and are secured in position in the holder a by wedge-shaped bars c, Figs. 1 and 2, and screws d. They may be further secured by screws e, which pass through slots in the sides of the holder and screw into the bars c, or are screwed into the sides of the holder and bear against the bars c. In the form shown in Fig. 5, the blocks are moulded in separate metal holders f and secured in the holder a by screws g or bars c. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the blocks b are dovetailed in both directions, and one side of the holder a is made loose, or fitted with a separate bar h, so as to clamp the blocks endways. The bars c may be arranged to hold the blocks by an endlong adjustment instead of by inward pressure. According to the Provisional Specification, the emery blocks may have stepped sides.

Title: Improved Process for the Cementation of Articles of Iron, Steel, and Alloys of Steel.
IPC: C23C8/22
Filed: 1910-05-12
Granted: 1911-01-26
Abstract: 11,839. Marks, E. C. R., [Soc. Anon. Italiana Gio. Ansaldo, Armstrong, & Co.]. May 12. Cementation.-For cementing articles of iron, steel, or steel alloy, the articles are heated to between 900 and 1100‹ C. in the presence of carbon-dioxide gas and non-impregnated carbon in a state of comparatively fine subdivision. Preferably, the articles are placed in layers separated by granular charcoal in a retort-like chamber through which a current of carbon dioxide slowly circulates. The articles may be fixed on a shaft rotating in the chamber. To produce cementation of a lower carbon percentage but great depth, air may be mixed with the carbon dioxide; or, after a time, enough of the carbon may be withdrawn to uncover the articles, the heating and the gaseous current being continued. If a higher percentage of carbon is required, gaseous or liquid hydrocarbons may be supplied with the carbon dioxide. Air and hydrocarbons may be added to the carbon dioxide supplied simultaneously or in succession.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Devices for Slipping Travelling Cables.
IPC: B63B27/18
Filed: 1910-09-13
Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 21,335. Felten & Guilleaume Lahmeyerwerke Akt.-Ges. Oct. 30, 1909, [Convention date]. Transhipping. - In cable conveyers used for transhipping at sea, in which the cable is slipped under excessive strain, the slipping pulley, is mounted to move against a suitable resistance, so as to allow sufficient time and clearance for normal conditions to be restored, if possible, prior to the slipping of the cable. Fig. 1 shows one arrangement in which the conveying-cable e is tensioned by a pulley f. The slipping pulley b moves against the resistance of a cable c wound on a drum d controlled by a friction device h. The pulley b is mounted on a pivoted frame u, the pivot being in alinement with the cables c, e. To the frame is secured a cable l, one end of which is attached to a fixed point k. When the pulley moves out through a certain distance, the cable l becomes taut, the frame is swung round on its pivot, and the cable is slipped. In a modification, Fig. 3, the spindle z of the pulley b moves at one end in a slot q in the frame. Under excessive strain, a restraining-arm t is released from an abutment n against the action of a spring o, and the pulley is swung round to release the cable.

Title: Improvements in Electric Arc-lamps.
IPC: H05B31/00
Filed: 1910-10-03
Granted: 1911-11-03
Abstract: 22,841. Ges. f³r Maschinen - und Metall-Industrie. Oct. 2, 1909, [Convention date]. Arc lamps. - Convergent electrodes are supported by a clutch which holds one or both of them except when disengaged by the mechanism for producing lateral movement of the other, the arrangement being such that the lateral movement is much more rapid than the corresponding movement of the clutch on the first electrode. Small feed movements are thus ensured. The clutch o may have an arm p engaged, preferably through an adjusting-screw, by a three-armed lever l<1> which actuates a plate n surrounding the second electrode, and is connected by a rod e to the core of a differential solenoid. The stationary pivot of the clutch is placed as shown so that pressure of the electrode points on one another tends to re-apply the clutch both directly and through the plate n. The clutch may be arranged to make or break a circuit when disengaged, so as to short-circuit a shunt regulating-coil or a resistance in series with a series regulating-coil, or so as to send current through an electro-magnet which aids the regulating-coil, or through a coil acting directly on the lever l<1> or clutch, which is thus brought into action again, a slow vibratory feed resulting. A stop may be arranged so as to limit the fall of one electrode, and may be either stationary or movable about an horizontal or a vertical axis by the rod e or lever l<1>.

Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 4406. Killing, E. Feb. 23, 1910, [Convention date]. Slide valves; combined fluid-actuated and mechanical gears with auxiliary valves. In jarring - apparatus for moulding-machines, the table is operated by piston-rods 9 working in cylinders 5. A central pedestal 15 moves with the pistons and table, and carries a plate 59, provided with inclines 61, 63 for engaging a roller 68, which controls the rod 37 of a slide valve 35. Each cylinder 5, Fig. 4, has a spring-pressed valve 28 with a seat 29 on a valve 23, which is shown in its raised position under the action of compressed air from the pipe 33. The pressure has also forced the valve 28 from its seat and is acting on the piston 8. At the end of the upward stroke, the cam incline 63 engages the roller to force the slide downward, which, before this happens, is in the position shown in Fig. 3, communication being established between the supply of compressed air at 47, the interior of the piston 36, and a pipe 42 leading to the pipe 33. When the piston of the slide valve 35 is first forced downward, the supply of compressed air ceases, the valve 28 shuts under spring action, and at the bottom of the stroke of the piston 37 connexion is established between an atmospheric port 48 and the pipe 42, through the medium of ports 49, 44. Thereupon the slide valve 29 is moved downwards and the air beneath the piston 8 escapes at 34.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Mixing and Pressing Smokeless Explosive.
IPC: B30B11/10
Filed: 1911-11-14
Granted: 1912-11-14
Abstract: 25,359. Fortuna - Werke A. Hirth. Jan. 23, [Convention date]. Extrusion machines.- Relates to machines for dissolving and extruding smokeless explosives. Nitro - cellulose is placed in a chamber and lightly compressed; the chamber is next moved to a fresh position where it is closed by a lid, the solvent is introduced, thereby displacing the atmospheric air, and the mass is mechanically mixed; the lid is then lifted, and the chamber is moved to a third position where the mass is expressed through a die. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, three chambers 2, 3, 4 are mounted on a turntable 5 and are employed simultaneously at different stages. At the first stage, the chamber receives its charge of explosive, and the preliminary pressure is applied by a plunger 6, Fig. 3, which forms an axial cavity in the mass. At the second stage, a cover 13, Fig. 1, is applied hydraulically against the top of the chamber, and the solvent is introduced by a passage 14 while air escapes by a passage 15; a single valve 16 controls both passages. The mixing is performed by a blade-wheel 11, which is rotated by a spur gear 20, 19 and at the same time caused to move longitudinally by a nut 21 on a screw-thread on the stem 12, the nut being held against rotation by pawls 22. At the end of each stroke, the nut is released, and the longitudinal motion is thus suspended for a while by the deflexion of a pawl 22 by a pulley 25 fixed to the stem 12 coming against a roller 26 on the pawl 22; a tappet 23 also engages a lug 24 on the nut to ensure its rotation if the friction of the screw-thread is not sufficient. The motion is then reversed, two belts 17 moving in opposite directions driving the shaft 18<1>. At the third stage, the mass is expressed through a die 28 by an hydraulic ram 29. The die is detachable from the chambers to allow for cleaning.
