Title: Improvements in Bakers' Ovens.
Inventor: BAKER GEORGE SAMUEL
Filed: 1911-01-17
Granted: 1911-04-06
Abstract: 1250. Baker, G. S. Jan 17. Bakers' ovens.-An oven constructed so that it may be quickly erected and dismounted is formed with sheet metal walls, to which the furnace, flue, door, and other fittings are detachably fastened. The construction shown comprises double walls 1, 2 packed with heatinsulating material; a furnace 7 the gases from which pass to a lower heating - chamber 17 through openings 14, 16; uplets 15, 18 within the front and rear walls leading from the chamber 17 to a series of horizontal tubular flues 23; and an upper heating-chamber 34 into which the flues 23 lead. Fig. 4 shows the arrangement of the flues 23, which are connected in pairs by headers formed to provide coupling bends 24, frames 25,31 for cleaning doors 26,32, and connexions 29, 30 to the uplets 15, 18 and the upper heating - chamber 34 respectively. Each of the headers, which may be bolted to the walls, may be in one piece or in interchangeable sections which may be used for a given number of flues at either end of the ovens. The gases pass from the lower heating-chamber 17 through one of the uplets 15 or 18 and a coupling 29 to a flue 23, which they leave by the connexion 30 for the upper heating-chamber 34. This chamber they are caused to traverse from end to end by means of baffles, and they finally leave by way of a damper-controlled outlet 37.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Methods of and Machines for Making Battery Plates.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: B22D25/04
Filed: 1911-04-08
Granted: 1912-04-09
Abstract: 8814. Lake, W. E., [United States Light and Heating Co.]. April 8. D i e - rolling; physical or molecular structure altering by mechanical treatment. - In the manufacture of storage battery plates, a blank of crvstalline structure is worked by repeated light pressures applied substantially normally to the surface to render the crystalline structure fine and uniform. The projecting fins are formed by this method without disrupting the metal. Gearing 2 transmits motion to a reciprocating head 5 and thereby to the work-holder 4 and to links 15 connected to formers 3. The formers, which may consist of disk sectors with spacers between are pivoted to heads 8 which are made to approach gradually by worm gearing 10 and eccentrics 9. A quick return may be obtained by hand-operated chain-and-sprocket gearing. To equalize the linear velocity of the formers with the linear velocity of the work, an eccentric is employed in the connexion of the head 5 to the links 15. More than one set of formers may be employed to act simultaneously on the work.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Conveying Mechanism.
Inventor: MARCUS HERMANN
IPC: B65G27/00
Filed: 1911-08-12
Granted: 1912-03-07
Abstract: 18,309. Marcus, H. Aug. 12. Jigging conveyers.-For driving jigging convevers, the harmonic motion of a piston or cylinder is transmitted to the conveying-trough through the medium of a buffer of compressed air. Fig. 1 shows one method of driving in which motion from the driving-piston c is transmitted to the piston e connected to the trough. The retarding forces cause a displacement of phase between the motions of the pistons, which results in them approaching one another and bringing the trough to rest very rapidly, when the piston e is nearing the end of its in-stroke. The chamber k is comparatively large so that the piston is brought to rest slowly at the end of the out-stroke. A conduit l may be provided to equalize the pressures in the air chambers at one point in the stroke; also snifting valves o may be provided as shown, or in the piston c to renew the air in the chambers. In some cases, the two pistons may move in separate cylinders of the same or varying diameters. The action of the air buffer may be supplemented by the use of dash-pots or springs. In a modified form, the driving-piston moves in an oscillating cylinder pivoted to the trough, while in a further modification a driving cylinder reciprocates over a fixed piston connected to the trough.

Abstract: 22,385. Niell, M. Oct. 11. Cameras, baseboard fittings for; finders.- Relates to the construction of an infinity catch, the supporting-foot, and the view-finder of a folding-baseboard camera. The infinity catch comprises a notched plate 4, Fig. 2, which is secured to the baseboard by screws 7 and supported by springs 8, Fig. 1. A projection on the extending front 3 of the camera strikes the sloping end 6 and depresses the plate until it reaches the infinity notch. To set the front for other positions, the plate 4 is depressed with the finger and the front 3 moved to engage the corresponding notch. The supporting- foot 9, Fig. 4, is made from a metal strip with one end bent at right-angles, the other part 10 being twisted and screwing into the baseboard. In the unused position, the foot 9 lies snugly in the recess 12, and recedes from the end of the base when brought into the operative positions. The finder body is formed of two plates 13, Fig. 10, and 14, Fig. 11. The plate 13 constitutes the front, sides, and part of the top and is provided with lugs 15 which fasten the parts when the plates are assembled. The plate 14 constitutes the back and part of the top and carries a tongue 16 which is sheared from the plate and forms a means of pivoting the finder to the lens plate.
