Filed: 1913-04-26
Granted: 1914-04-16
Abstract: 9856. Metropolitan Gas Meters, Ltd., and Forster, J. D. April 26. Interconnecting guard with starting-gear.-In a safety guard device interlocked with the clutch of a power press, a guard movable in a straight line is arranged to operate directly mechanism for locking or unlocking the clutch. In the form shown in Fig. 2, a lever l, pivoted at l<1>, has an incline o which is pushed back by an arm n attached to the guard g when this is in its guarding position as shown. The upper end p of the lever l is thus pressed forward and releases a part c, allowing the clutch to be operated. When the guard is raised, the end p of the lever recedes and locks the part c. In another form, a rod pivoted to the arm n actuates a hook which locks the part c. Fig. 5 shows a modified form applied to an inclined press. The upper end of the lever l here controls a pin r which locks or releases a moving part s of the clutch mechanism.

Abstract: 20,748. Langseth, R. Sept. 27, 1912, [Convention date]. Furniture. - Furniture for use with blocks, woodcuts, &c. is cast beside the block &c. in one or two pieces of such a size as to fill out the width available in the column or page scheme. For this purpose, a mould may be used having one side 11 adjustable to the available width, and one end 25 adjustable to the length of the number of blocks &c. 31 .. 35 treated. The side 11 is carried by screws 14, 15 passing through nuts 16, 17 prov i d e d with sprocketwheels 19 actuated by a chain 23 and sprocketwheel 22 from a handoperated shaft 20. The blocks &c. 31 .. 35 are separated by spacing-strips 28, a series of such strips and of ends 25, of graduated lengths to suit the various widths of mould, being stored in a rack 47. The end 25 is held in position by a rod 36 clamped in a block 37. The block 37 slides in a groove 39, and is carried by a screw 43 provided with a gear-wheel 45 actuated by a pinion 46 of half the size as the screw 14 ; the rod 36 is thus moved simultaneously with the side 11, but only through half the distance, and is therefore always in position to engage the central boss 41 on the end 25. Scales are provided to facilitate the correct setting of the side 11, end 25, and spacers 28. When the mould is correctly set, molten metal is taken from a melting-pot 3, and is poured into the spaces between the blocks and the sides of the mould.
