Title: Improvements in Machines for Stamping, Ramming, Hammering, and the like.
Inventor: LATKIEWICZ LADISLAUS
Filed: 1899-12-04
Granted: 1900-02-17
Abstract: 24,112. Latkiewicz, L. Dec. 4. Stamps, ore and like. -Relates to a power hammer, applicable for stamping &c. An air cylinder C has a pistonrod A, to the lower end of which is attached the hammer &c. Two pawl mechanisms b, b<1> of similar construction embrace the rod, the upper one b being fixed and the lower being carried by a connecting-rod, reciprocated by a crank z. The pawl mechanism shown is of the friction-grip type. In each mechanism, an eccentric S, having a handle q, is normally drawn against the rod A by a spring t, but can be locked in the disengaged position by a notched lever h, pressed up by a spring f. The grips allow the rod to move upwards at all times. To start the machine, the upper grip is locked in the disengaged position as shown. The lower grip then raises the rod till its handle q is tripped by a fixed stop m, allowing the hammer to fall, the lower handle being locked in the disengaged position by its lever. On the down-stroke of the grip, the lever h is tripped by a stop n, the rod being gripped and raised as before. To stop the machine, the upper grip is allowed to engage the rod, preventing it from falling. The rod is thus lifted by successive strokes till a reduced portion a, a comes opposite the lower grip, which then reciprocates idly, the rod being held suspended. The stops m, n may be fixed or adjustably mounted on a rod attached to the air cylinder.

Granted: 1900-06-30
Abstract: 4184. Wollensak, A. Aug. 14, A.D. 1899, [date applied for under Sec. 103 of Patents &c. Act, A.D. 1883]. Shutters.-Relates to a shutter adapted to give rapid or slow exposures. The aperture of the lens is opened and closed by two oscillating plates r, s, pivoted at o and p. The arms n, n<1> carrying the plates are connected so as to move together by a pin t working in a slot u. To make a rapid exposure, the lever k<1> pivoted at l<1> is pushed to the right either by hand or by a pneumatic piston. The forked end m<1> of this lever pushes back the lever y, pivoted at z, until the lower end of the fork slips off the stud o<1> and releases the lever y. A spring extension b<1> of the lever pushes back the pin g<1> on the arm n, and opens the shutter. When the lever y is released, as described above, the shutter is rapidly closed by the spring h<1>. When the shutter is to be held open as long as the air bulb is squeezed, the pin t<1> is moved to the left, so as to liberate the hooked lever s<1>, which catches the pin a<1> on the lever y, and holds the shutter open till the pin z' on the lever k<1> disengages the hook and allows the shutter to close. When the shutter is to be both opened and closed directly by hand, the hooked lever r<1> is made use of to hold the shutter open, until it is disengaged by a further movement of the lever k<1> in the same direction.

Granted: 1900-10-20
Abstract: 16,559. Blackinton, H. B. Sept. 17. Making boxes. - In covering boxes of pasteboard or like material, the covering-material s, F g. 2, is fed over a glueing-roller 13, and thence over the rod 23 and the pivoted plate J, to the box p, Fig. 3, which is placed on a carrier t, there being a series of such boxes thus mounted, to which separate covering-strips are fed. The series of plates J are mounted on a shaft h, which is rotated by a handle, and each plate carries at its end a presser cap l which guides and presses the covering-strip to the box, a finger o pivoted on each plate preventing the buckling of the covering- strip when the presser cap is brought down on the box. Each presser cap has a flange at one side to turn the strip over the bottom of the box. The box is rotated by a press roll q, having a rubber band y which abuts against the box. On the same shaft as the press roll is a disc 4 which presses the strip to the bottom of the box, and the roll q has a shoulder which folds the edge of the strip over the mouth of the box. The strip may be perforated so as to be severed by lifting the presser cap l, or it may be cut in any suitable manner. The box-carriers, which are mounted on arms u on the shaft v, are next moved towards strippers 7 on the shaft 8. The strippers engage with sliding plungers 3 on the carriers, so that, by moving the shaft 8 longitudinally by means of a pivoted lever, the plungers enter the boxes, thus securing the covering-strips to the inside of the boxes. The boxes are arrested by discs 11 carried on arms 12, while the plungers are being operated.
