Granted: 1910-03-29
Abstract: 7523. McNaught, W. March 29. Drying wool &c.-Wool &c. is fed to an air-blast which carries it into the upper part of a chamber where the moisture-laden air immediately passes off, being the material carried away through the apparatus. Fig. 3 shows a form in which the material is carried by a conveyer a to a pair of rollers b, c, of which the lower one b may have a grooved periphery, and the upper one may be smooth, and is mounted in sliding bearings to which a packing-har f, fitting the upper surface of the roller, may be bolted. The material passing through the rollers is caught by an air-blast introduced through a valved nozzle g and carried up into a chamber h, where it falls and is caught by an apron p and delivered through rollers b<1>, c'. The moisture-laden air may pass to the atmosphere, or be dried and used again. The top of the chamber may be provided with a hinged door l and a perforated guard o to prevent escape of material. Inspection windows r and doors s with safety-chains w may be provided. Air may be supplied to the nozzle g from a trunk x. The material may be treated in a number of such machines, and these may be combined as shown in a series, the delivery rollers b<1>, c<1> of one machine forming the feeding-rollers of the next. The material is prevented from clogging the bearings of the rollers by shoots 1, Figs. 3 and 5, placed on one or both sides of the rollers. The devices for driving the rollers comprise a pair of pulleys y, z, Fig. 4, loosely mounted on a shaft 2 ; the pulley z is formed with a pinion 4 meshing with a wheel keyed on a bush 49 on an arbor 6, on which are also keyed pinions 7, 8. By means of chains, these pinions drive sprocket - pinions 11, 12, Fig. 1, mounted on the spindles of the rollers c', c<3>. The rollers c, c' are driven in like manner from pinions on the spindle of the roller c'. On the bush 49, Fig. 4, is keyed a toothed wheel 16 meshing with a wheel 17, from which, in like manner, the under rollers b, b<1>, b<2>, b<3> and the conveyer a are driven. In place of rollers, a paddle or other gate-like mechanism, Fig. 6, may be used for discharging the material.

Patent GB-190925100-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the Joints of Wind-screens and other Folding or Adjustable Fittings of Automobiles and other Vehicles.
Inventor: AUSTER ALFRED WHORWOOD
IPC: B60J1/04
Filed: 1909-11-01
Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 25,100. Auster, A. W., and Auster, A. C. Nov. 1. Pivot adjustments for the wind-screens and other folding parts of motor and other vehicles, more particularly of the kind described in Specification 14,579/07, in which a laterallymovable toothed locking-element 5 is caused to engage with teeth on the knuckle elements 3, 4 under the action of a clamping-nut or screwhandle 6 to lock the two parts of the joint together. The invention consists in providing the contacting surfaces of the handle 6 and locking element 5 with inclined or cam-shaped projections 10, 12, by which the joint is rapidly locked by a small movement of the handle. As shown in Fig. 11, the projections 10, 12 consist partly of plane surfaces 10, 12 and partly of corresponding inclined surfaces 11, 13. When the joint is unlocked, the projections 10 fit into the recesses between the projections 12, with the inclined surfaces 11, 13 in contact. On the tightening of the joint, the surfaces 11, 13 ride over each other, and the joint is roughly locked. When the plane surfaces 10, 12 are in contact, as shown in Fig. 1, the locking of the joint is completed by the ordinary turning movement of the screw handle 6. In a modification in which the locking-element is fixed to the central screw and the handle is mounted on the screw at the other side of the joint and contacting one of the knuckle elements, the inclined projections are formed on the contacting surfaces of the handle and knuckle element. The invention is also applicable to joints of the kind described in Specification 24,630/06, and to all joints in which a laterally moving locking-element is operated by a handle or like clamping-device. Instead of four sets of projections 10, 12, the Provisional Specification states that one or two sets may be employed.

Abstract: 20,961. Degener, H., and General Composing Co. May 23. Metal-pumps for type-bar making machines. Relates to a pump - stopping device for the machine described in Specification 13,499/10, wherein the pump piston is given an additional lift during the oscillation of the metal pot, so as to cancel the movement of the piston relative to the pump cylinder. In addition to the usual lever 53, which is controlled by the justificationslide, and operates a bell-crank lever 54 adapted to engage a lug 56 on the pump lever 59, there is provided a lever 57, which is arranged above the lever 54, and is preferably mounted on the same pivot. Normally, the lever 54 is held by the spring 55 in engagement with the lug 56, and the lever 57 is held in the position shown in Fig. 3 by a hooked finger 62 secured to the lever that advances the casting-wheel. When the line is not properly justified, the lever 53 is not operated, and the lever 54 remains underneath the lug 56. As the casting-wheel advances, the finger 62 enables the lever 57 to advance by means of a spring 58, so that, when the lever 59 has received the additional lift, it is held in the highest position by the lever 57 engaging the lug 56. The lever 57 prevents the pump lever from returning through the amount of additional lift and thereby ejecting the metal. When the line is properly justified, the lever 54 is forced back by means of the lever 53 and engages a projection 60 on the lever 57 so that the latter cannot move forward when released by the finger 62. After the cast, the lever 57 is returned by the finger 62. The spring 58 is arranged between the levers 57, 54 or between the levers 57, 53, so that during justification it is only necessary to overcome the spring 55. Moulds for type-bar making machines. A wiper for freeing the mould from the adhering shavings is arranged behind the casting-wheel and below the " back-knife." The wiper consists of a strip 66 of felt, cloth, &c. secured to a flat 65 formed on a round stem 64, which is fitted in the block carrying the knife, and is pressed by a spring 67.

Filed: 1910-11-26
Granted: 1911-09-14
Abstract: 27,558. Phillips, W. A., and Bulteel, J. G. Nov. 26. [Cognate Applications, 29,893/10 and 4268/11.] Nitrogen oxides are produced by spreading over a surface the completely oxidized part of a flame of combustible gas or vapour, and causing a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen to travel over the spread-out flame at a speed greater than. that of the gases constituting the flame. The flame may be spread out by impinging on a mass of pieces of refractory material, but it is preferred to spread the part of the flame that is completely oxidized b) playing on a single surface, preferably one which is cooled. In this case the air is drawn along a path remote from the main part of the flame. In the constructions shown, the flame of a gas blowpipe b is directed into the top of a cone a, and adjusted so that the end of the flame passes through perforations into the space between the base of the cone and a flange c of a pipe d. - By applying suction to this pipe, air is drawn into the space between the flange and the base of the cone, and spreads the small flames over the under surface of the base. In another form, the flames from a series of bunsen burners b are directed against a series of parallel bars e and a vacuum is maintained in the box f such that the parts of the flame in which the combustion is substantially complete are drawn over the edges of the bars and between the gaps between them.

Granted: 1911-12-04
Abstract: 28,044. Walker, F. H. Dec. 2, 1909, [Convention date]. Starting.-Air is compressed into a reservoir 15 by means of a pump-plunger 10 on the same rod 9 as a piston 8 working in a cylinder 7 open to the explosion chamber. The starting-valve 27, and a valve opening the pump chamber to a relief valve 19 are controlled by the same handle 35, which also depresses the piston 8 by means of a lever 30 and a collar 32. Part of the air, regulated in quantity by the valve 28<a>, passes through a carburettor 28. The rising pressure of the mixture in the cylinder raises the piston 8 until the contact-pieces 33, 34 touch and produce an explosion, which starts the engine and raises the piston 8 to such an extent that the lever 30 returns the starting- lever to its inoperative position.

Abstract: 28,215. Cotton, R, S. Dec. 5. Roller-and-breast mills.-A machine for cutting bones, flesh, vegetables, &c., comprises a drum which carries toothed cutters c and rotates in an eccentric casing E. T h e materials to be cut are fed in at the top, and are carried forward by the e drum until they are wedged sufficiently to permit the cutters to remove a slice. The material is thus moved gradually towards the base of the machine until it is all cut away. The cut slices pass through the openings in front of each cutter into the interior of the drum, and are thrown out by centrifugal action from the part of the drum that projects beyond the casing. The lower part of the periphery of the casing may be hinged so that it can be adjusted to varying distances from the drum. In some cases, the cutters c do not extend the whole width of the periphery of the drum, and in other cases, each tooth of the cutters projects through a separate hole therein. Specification 4860/89, [Class 28, Cooking &c.], is referred to.

Abstract: 11,030. Wolter, J., and Belz, A. May 11, 1910, [Convention date]. Cutting out embroidery; vertical-cutter type for cutting sheet material in direction of feed. -Consists of an arrangement whereby the distance between the knife and the support for the embroidery is adjusted automatically by a feeler according to the thickness of the unembroidered part of the material. An auxiliary cutting-blade controlled by a feeler is also employed to sever the marginal unembroidered portions of the material. The embroidered fabric is fed along a support plate 2 through a slot formed by the knife 10 and this plate 2, the width of the slot preventing the passage therethrough of the embroidered portions of the fabric. The width of the slot is automatically determined by a pressure-plate 12, under which the fabric passes, and which is connected to the knife holder spindle 4, as shown in Fig. 1. This pressure-plate is kept depressed normally by a spring, but may be raised to facilitate the introduction of the work by a cam-device 25. For severing the marginal unembroidered material, a pivoted cutting-blade 17 is employed, normally depressed by a spring 18. A pivoted feeler 14 abuts against an extension 15 of the cutting-blade and serves to raise the cutter to an inoperative position when the embroidered part of the material is encountered. A modification is described in which the size of the work-controlling slot is controlled by the use of a resiliently-mounted work-support, which yields in proportion to the thickness of the material. In another modification, a feeler and the knife are mounted to oscillate on a common spindle, while in a further modification the work-support and the feeler are adapted to oscillate yieldingly to the thickness of the work.
