Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Expanded Metal and in Apparatus therefor.
IPC: B21D31/04
Filed: 1912-01-27
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 2227. Expanded Metal Co., and Salmon, H. Jan. 27. [Cognate Application, 8096/12.] Cutting expanded metal; stretching. - In making expanded metal by a process similar to that described in Specification 16,856/10 in which the sheet is formed into a series of pairs of strips by parallel longitudinal rows of slits, the junctions of alternate rows being opposite each other, and in which the strips are then turned in pairs all in the same direction out of the plane of the sheet, holes are formed at the edges of the sheet which are afterwards engaged by the teeth on a pair of expanding wheels rotating in opposite directions. The axes of the wheels are arranged one above and the other below the plane of the sheet. The sheet, after leaving the slitting rolls, passes along a guide to conical bending rolls b, Fig. 6, which are formed with recesses c so that the junctions k, Figs. 6 and 10, may be bent as little as possible, and with intermediate projections for bending the pairs of strips around the junctions l of the plane of the sheet. The roll spindles have also conical disks d, each spindle carrying a disk having a series of teeth f engaging recesses c on its companion disk on the other spindle. These disks bend the two exterior strips at the sides of the junctions k almost at right-angles to the sheet, one below and the other above the plane of the sheet. The sheet then passes through a guide to the expanding wheels which are in the shape of irregular polygons and the radial teeth of which engage the holes in the sheet. The outer strips lie more of less flatly on the flat edges of the polygonal wheels. In a modification, the conical disks d are replaced by corrugated rolls n, Fig. 15, with edges parallel to their axes. The outer strips are thus bent upwards and downwards respectively into planes parallel with the plane of the sheet. The expanding wheels for use with this form of sheet consist of lateral teeth o which are held in contact with fixed cam-surfaces s by springs q and are retracted when the sheet is expanded by the springs as soon as the teeth move past the cam-surfaces. The length of the cams may be varied according to the amount of expansion required.

Granted: 1914-01-15
Abstract: 5573. Love, W., and Notley, R. H. March 6. Packing granular material into paper bags.- Relates to the machine described in Specification 25,925/08, in which paper blanks are folded into bags around a filling hopper or funnel, and the funnels after being extracted from the bags are returned to their original position by endless chains. According to the present invention, the chains j are provided with hooks h so that when the filled funnel a is raised by the lifter c, as shown, to enable the plunger c to remove the bag, hooks h engage the trunnions k of the funnel and carry it out of the lifter. The funnels are thus prevented from shifting on the chains and their return at regular intervals is ensured. The funnels are lifted from the chain by disks m provided with notches l of considerable depth. The plunger e is rigidly fixed to its slide instead of being hinged to it as in the prior case. In order to ensure that the funnel does not stick on the plunger, a rod p which can slide vertically within a recess in the plunger has a winged slide o secured to its lower end, the slide and rod being pressed downwards by a spring q. As the plunger descends into a funnel, the slide o rests on the edges of the funnel and the spring q is compressed. When the plunger rises. the spring presses the slide downwards and forces the funnel off the hopper.
