Title: Improvements in or relating to the Process of Moulding Bricks.
Inventor: SCHULTE-STEINBERG HUGO
Filed: 1909-03-08
Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 5585. Steinberg, H. Schulte-. March 8. Processes; combaned apparatus.-Relates to a process for making clay bricks, and consists essentially in heating the clay to evaporate the moisture and expel the air contained therein and in moulding the c l a y while impregnated with steam. A conveyer 22 delivers clay from a pit 23 to the hopper 21 of a rotating mixing-drum 10, through which hot gases are passed, the waste gases from the kiln 18 preferably being used. The clay passes through the mixing-drum, in the opposite direction to that of the gases, into a chamber 16, and, after being ground by rollers 26, is conveyed to a trough 30, through which it passes into the hopper 33 of the moulding-press. The bricks as they are formed are immediately placed in the kiln. A sieve 31, rocked by an eccentric 32, is arranged between the trough 30 and the hopper 33 to intercept the coarse material and return it to the chamber 16 through a pipe 35.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Boot and Shoe Channelling Machines.
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
IPC: A43D43/02
Filed: 1909-06-18
Granted: 1910-06-20
Abstract: 14,307. Justice, P. M., [Plant, T. G.]. June 18. Channelling.-A channelling-machine is constructed so that the operation of the workfeeding means is prevented so long as the channelling- tool remains in inoperative position. The channelling- tool 61, Figs. 1 and 6, is mounted on a rock-shaft 57, located in a slidable carrier 35, which is mounted in a head 33. An adjustable spring 50 normally forces the tool to the left, Fig. 6, but, by the depression of a treadle, the carrier 35 may be moved back to varv the distance of the channel from the edge of the sole. The head 33 is pivoted to a head 17, Figs. and 3, which encloses, and is slidably mounted on, a fixed head 4 in which is journaled the tool shaft. This shaft, through the connexions s shown in Fig. 6, causes the tool 61 to be continuously reciprocated in the line of feed. The w o r k supporting and feeding means consists of a double bevelled member 31,32, Figs. 1 and 3, secured to a shaft 30 mounted in brackets projecting from the head 17. This shaft is driven by gearing 29, 28, 25, 24 from a shaft 22, which passes through the heads 4, 17 and carries one e member 16 of a clutch, the other member 15 being carried by a pulley 12 mounted on a sleeve 9 and continuously driven by a belt 13. Normally, the head 17 is forced to the front of the machine in a position to disengage the clutch by the action of a spring 19, Fig. 1, but when, by the pressure of the work the head 17 is forced to the rear. the clutch members engage and the driving-shaft 22 is rotated. Rearward movement of the head 17 is. however, prevented by an adjustable locking-device until the pivoted head 33 is swung from its normal upward position, in which it is held by a spring 69, into a position in which the channelling-knife becomes operative. This ensures that the cutting will commence at the extreme heel end of the shank. The movement of the channelling-tool into and out of operative position also lowers and raises a bearing-wheel 86, Figs. 1 and 3, the shaft 85 of which is geared to the shaft 26 carrying the intermediate gear between the shafts 22, 30, so that the bearing- wheel is rotated when, and only when, the workfeeding means is operative. To vary the inclination of the channel, there is provided for the fore part of the shoe a roller 105, Fig. 1, the vertical position of which can be adjusted as shown. To prevent the cbannelling-toolfrom running off the sole when the work is improperly presented to the work-feeding means, an adjustable guard 106, Fig. 1, is provided

Title: Improvements in or connected with Pneumatic Ejectors for Lifting and Raising Sewage and other Liquids by Air Pressure.
Inventor: COOMBS JAMES ALGER
Filed: 1910-03-18
Granted: 1911-03-20
Abstract: 6804. Coombs, J. A. March 18. Direct air-pressure apparatus, automatic. - In air-pressure apparatus of the type in which the air is used repeatedly as in a closed cycle, (1) the main air-distributing valve is operated through the medium of float-operated pilot valves; (2) a momentary connexion is effected between the fixing-chambers at the time of reversal so that compressed air from the emptied ejector may pass freely to the ejector to be discharged, thus diminishing the amount of work to be performed by the compressor; and (3) the motor actuating the compressor is controlled by a float in the sump from which the ejectors draw their supply of liquid to be raised. Fig. 3 shows the general arrangement of a double chamber apparatus. The valve 3, for distributing the compressed air from the compressor 10 to the forcing-chambers 1, 2, is operated by compressed air admitted from the pipes 11, 48, 49 by the pilot valves 17 to the ends of the cylinders 44, Fig. 5, which operate the distributing-valve. This valve is in the form of a double-beat valve 36, 37 controlling the ports 30, 31, 32, 33 which are respectively the admission and exhaust ports to the compressor and the distributing-ports connected to the chambers 1, 2. The arrangement is such that, in the position shown, all four ports are in communication. The apertures of the valve seats 38 are made greater than those of the seats 39, so that the pressure on the valve 36 tending to close it is greater than that on the valve 37 tending to move it off its seat. The stroke of the valve 37 is less than that of the valve 36 so that the former closes first, the necessary play between the valves being secured by making the valverod in two relatively movable parts 41, 41<Î>. The pilot valves 17 are operated by floats 18, Fig. 2, in the lower part of each chamber. In the arrangement described, the pressure in the ends of the cylinders 44 is only maintained at the beginning of the working stroke. If it is desired to last for the whole of the stroke, an additional pilot valve may be introduced. Fig. 1 shows the arrangement of the float 15 in the supply sump 6 for controlling the motor 13 driving the compressor. Either chambers may be worked independently by cutting-off the various supply pipes by means of throttle valves 65, a compressed air reservoir being introduced to receive the compressed air after a forcing action.

Title: Improvements in Electric Motors and their Application to the Rectification of Alternating Electric Currents.
Inventor: MONTGOMERY JOHN JOSEPH
IPC: H02M1/22
Filed: 1910-11-01
Granted: 1911-09-21
Abstract: 25,385. Montgomery, J. J. Nov. 1. Commutator switching-arrangements.-For rectifying alternating currents, a commutator is driven by a motor excited by the alternating current and imparting to it a succession of positive and negative accelerations in synchronism and conterminous as regards time with the variations of excitation, so that it moves with an undulatory step-by-step progression which is always in exact synchronism with each alternating-current wave, even though these are unequal. In the form described, the field magnet of the motor is of soft iron or steel, preferably in the form of two iron rings 1, 1, so that, when put together, they form an annular channel for the field coil 5. The inner projecting portions of these rings are cut through at intervals to form pole-tips 3, 3 of equal dimensions, those of one ring being exactly opposite those of the other. The rotatable element 6 is a light wheel having soft iron or steel bars or projections 7 of about the same width as the pole tips of the field magnets and similarly spaced. If the motor is given an angular motion, for example by turning a knob a by hand, the field magnet being excited by a shunt circuit from the alternating- current supply, and the electric, magnetic, frictional, and mechanical elements having been properly co-ordinated in the manner indicated in the Specification, the rotor continues to revolve and carry the commutator forwards in an undulating manner in exact synchronism with the individual waves of alternating current. One or more sets of pole-tips 3 may be used with the full set of bars 7, and conversely. The commutator is secured to the motor shaft, and comprises as many conducting-segments 8 as there are steps in one rotation of the motor. Each segment alternately is connected to one of two rings 10, and brushes 11 convey the alternating current to these rings. Each commutator brush 12 is independently adjustable, and both are mounted upon a rocker so that they may be simultaneously adjusted to make and break contact with the commutator segments at the zero points of the alternating-current wave. A polarized relay may be used in conjunction with the commutator to fix the direction of the direct current. Several commutators may be arranged on the motor shaft.
