Patent GB-191114116-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Pushing-in Mechanism in Match-making Machines.
Inventor: GSELL HENRY A
Filed: 1911-06-14
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 14,116. Gsell, H. A. June 14. Matches, making. Apparatus for inserting two or more rows of splints into a carrier at each stroke of a reciprocating grooved pusher is shown in three principal f o r m s in Figs. 1, 9, and 13. In the first construction, Fig. 1, the pusher 2 has the bottoms of alternate grooves formed by comb-strips 6 projecting from a bar 5; this bar is lowered by a cam 8 as the pusher advances from under the magazine 1, deepening the alternate grooves, the splints thereby being inserted in two rows in the carrier. In a modification, the rearmost part of the pusher has a wide transverse channel to receive a bar having comb-strips fitting in the alternate deep grooves. This channel provides a lost motion between the comb-strips and the pusher, which causes the strips to be withdrawn from the grooves as the pusher advances. In the second construction, Fig. 9, one set of grooves 16 is in front of another 15, and receives in each groove two splints, the upper of which is held by friction as the pusher advances, and passes into the second set of grooves. Before reaching the carrier, the front set 16 is lowered by a roller and cam-surface 20, for instance, and passes underneath the rear set 15. More than two successive sets of grooves may be used, for inserting three or more rows at once, and the number of rows may be again doubled by making the grooves of each set alternately deep and shallow, optionally with movable bottoms as above described. With alternate deep and shallow grooves, however, adjacent splints in the carrier are further apart than they need be with grooves of uniform depth. As shown in Fig. 13, the front set of grooves 28 may be lower than its successor 30 by the thickness of a splint when passing under the magazine 27, and receives an extra layer of splints, which is kept back by a bar 29 in front; this bar is reciprocated vertically, and, while raised, allows splints to be withdrawn from the magazine by the following grooves 30. When alternate deep and shallow grooves are used, the reciprocating bar 29 is toothed to correspond, and, to retain the splints in position when entering the carriers, a ribbed bar 39 is provided in front of the carrier for the topmost set of grooves, and similar ribs 31 underneath these grooves for those below them. Some of the deeply grooved plates may have movable bottoms. Fig. 13 also shows the third construction, having grooves open at the back and extending the whole depth of the pusher, but such grooves may be used in other apparatus having a single set of alternate shallow and deep grooves. A toothed bar 32 projecting upwards into the grooves forms abutments for the splints to be pushed in, and upper toothed bars 29, 33 retain the splints in front and behind the magazine; a toothed clearing-bar 34 is also provided. The magazines may be replaced by needles or other transferring-means, and the apparatus may be modified to insert one layer slightly later than another.

Straw from the shakers 6, Fig. 4, falls into an inclined shoot 14 leading to a fan 13 by which it is discharged through a pipe 38. The cavings from the winnower 7 fall into a separate shoot 17, being deflected by a removable baffle 18 fixed by projections entering the beam 22 at the bottom and by screws 23 &c. at the top. From the shoot 17 the material is projected into the fan 35 by the blast from a nozzle 30, Fig. 3, the air being taken by a pipe 28 from the side of the casing 11 of the fan 13. The outlet 36 from the fan 35 can be directed to any point. When the cavings are to be discharged with the straw, the baffle 18 is removed, and a plate 19 introduced. The nozzle 30 can then be closed and the fan 35 disconnected. The blast from the pipe 28 may be used to discharge the cavings &c. at the side of the machine, the fan 35 being dispensed with.

Abstract: 27,509. Fuchs, L. Dec. 10, 1910, [Convention date]. Fire - engines. - Relates to a fire-engine of the type in which the vehicle and the pump are driven from a common motor, and more particularly to an arrangement in which the pump-actuating mechanism is at the rear of the usual change - speed transmission gear, and is driven from the countershaft thereof through a clutch. As shown in plan in Fig. 3 and vertical section in Fig. 4, a shaft 47, connected by a clutch to the crank-shaft of the engine, is adapted to drive the propeller shaft 10 of the vehicle either directly through a shaft 13, Fig. 4, or through fixed spur-wheels on a countershaft 43 and sliding spur-wheels on the shaft 13 to obtain the other two speeds, in the usual way. In order to drive the two-cylinder pump, the countershaft 43 is connected by means of a clutch 53, 54 to a shaft 42 having a bevel-wheel 41 gearing with a bevel-wheel 34 on a transverse shaft 38, Fig. 3, which is provided with cams 31, 32 engaging rollers 25 on two pump-actuating slides 29, the guided portions of which consist of rectangular frames open at the middle to clear the cam shaft 38. The slides are guided in two pairs of yokes 17, which are bolted to lugs on the gear case 9 and the pump casing 15, so as to form a single rigid structure, which is supported at the back centrally on a transverse bar of the chassis and at the front by yokes 14 from the two side bars of the chassis. The clutch 53, 54 controlling the pump-actuating mechanism is operated by means of the change-speed lever of the propelling-mechanism, this lever being of the selective type.

Abstract: 28,952. Ravelli, A. Dec. 22. Wave energy, utilizing.- In apparatus of the type described in Specification 16,891/07, a partly immersed rocking platform drives a shaft. The whole apparatus is maintained at the tidelevel by movement along rails 1 supported on spaced standards 2. The oscillating platform 40 drives the shaft 20 by a slide 12, levers, and a double friction clutch. Springs 22 and a large number of flapvalves in the platform assist its upward movement. In order to utilize the energy of small waves, the descent of the platform is timed by the use of a pivoted wall 26 inside it and an arrangement of levers 27, 28, 29, 30 outside, whereby the levers 24 are deflected and allowed to close up. When the beach is but slightly inclined, the slideway 3, Fig. 3, is hinged about an axis 6, the posts 5 supporting the rails terminating in cylinders, which are inter-connected by pipes 7, the pistons of which move in a non-freezing liquid. By the weight of the apparatus, the front part always bears upon the beach and water is prevented thereby from passing underneath. To allow for the varying direction of the onrush of the waves, three tracks are provided, the two outside being at an angle of from 20 to 30 degrees to the track of steepest descent, a suitable turntable being employed.
