IPC: B28B13/02
Filed: 1910-06-29
Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 15,635. Decauville, P. June 29. Presses and moulding-machines with fixed mould tables or moulds; feeding and measuring; delivery. -Dies 12 are raised to compress the cement in the mould 3 by means of a hand-operated driving-shaft 9 having oppositely threaded portions engaging nuts 8 which carry the middle pivots of togglelinks 7 arranged on both sides of the shaft. The lower links 7 are pivoted at their lower ends to a cross-piece 1 on the main frame, the pivots 7<1> projecting through slots 13<1> in cheek plates 13 on the dies, and the upper links being connected by shafts 11 also engaging the slots. The dies are guided in their upward movement by guides 14. The mould is closed at the top by a pivoted counterweighted cover 16 secured in position by a clamping-cam 19 engaging a curved flange 16 extending downwardly from its lower surface. After moulding, the cover is swung back and the dies may be raised to eject the brick by a counterweighted lever 25. The capacity of the mould is regulated by limiting the descent of the cheek-plates by a plate 41, adjustable in thickness, resting on the lower part of the machine frame. In order to ensure that the mould charges always have the same weight, the material to be compressed is first placed in a box 22, which is divided by partitions 22<1> into as many compartments as the mould, and is slidable over the top of the mould when the proper amount of moulding- material has been inserted. When the box contains too little moulding material its movement is prevented by its engagement with a vertically slidable bottom plate 27, which is carried by a beam lever 31, and always. tends to move upwards under the influence of a weight 36. When the box contains too much material its movement is prevented by the engagement of a bar 33 on the end of the lever 31 with a perforated angle-piece 37<1> on the side of the box.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Wire Stitching Machines.
Inventor: RUDD ERNEST HAROLD
IPC: B42B2/02
Filed: 1911-12-07
Granted: 1912-12-09
Abstract: 27,500. Rudd, E. H., Wheatley, J. B., and Matthews, W. Dec. 7. [Addition to 27,459/10.] Stapling and discontinuous wire-stitching.- A wire-stitching machine as described in the parent Specification, is constructed with a longer trough, in which moves a chain adapted to receive successively sheets or groups of sheets, which are inset to form a complete product and then stitched. The apparatus is so arranged that it may be stopped by a treadle or the like by a person working at any point along the trough, and the stitching-apparatus may be tripped independently of the insetting-apparatus. As shown in Fig. 1, a feed-chain C, similar to the one described in the abovementioned Specification, but of greater length, works in a trough A, and is adapted to receive sheets or groups of sheets successively, the second set being dropped automatically or by hand upon the first set, and so on until the product is completed: The product is then fed by the chains C, D and is stitched by the apparatus B as is described in the above-mentioned Specification. The stitching-mechanism is controlled by a clutch L operated by a lever K, rod K<3>, and bar L<1>; normally the clutch is thrown in by projections on the chains C, D acting on the lever K and a similar lever (not shown). To trip the stitching-mechanism permanently, a hook K<5> can be adjusted by nuts K<4> on the rod K<3>, so that the movements of the lever K do not throw in the clutch L. To trip the stitching-mechanism temporarily, a spring-controlled cam-rod N is raised by acting on a handle O<2> on a chain O attached to the rod N, thereby causing a cam surface N<1> to move the bar L<1> out of the path of the hook K5. The apparatus is driven by a belt passed over the shaft E, around which the chains C, D both pass. To stop the machine, a pedal is arranged along the whole length of trough A, and when this is depressed, a spring-depressed rod connected to it by a lever is raised and acts on a pivoted jockey-pulley which normally keeps the driving-belt taut, and loosens the belt. Simultaneously, a bent portion of the rod acts on a brake-drum on the shaft E, and the machine is thus stopped.

Abstract: 9228. Edlin, R. W., and Edlin, E. April 19. Dash-pots. - Consists in providing a front wheel spring fork for motor or other cycles, with a liquid-operated check to the too free action of the primary springs, which is disposed between the sides of the fork in front of the steering-head. As shown, applied to the kind of spring fork employing pairs of swinging links e, a cylinder f mounted by pivots g<2> upon arms g in the steering-post arrangement c is closed at its upper end bv a cap f<4>, through which passes a piston-rod h<2> pivotally connected at h<3> to the sides d of the fork. The cylinder contains a primary spring i bearing at its lower end upon the piston h<4>, and is filled up.with oil or other liquid. The piston has a number of large openings j, which are normally covered below by a disk or plate m provided with small holes m<2> and pressed upwards by a light spring o, and, when the piston moves towards the upper end of the cylinder against the action of the spring i, oil above the piston forces the plate from its seating and flows through the openings j into the space below, whereas movement in the opposite direction causes a re-seating of the plate so that the oil can only return slowly through the holes m<2>. The Provisional Specification describes also modifications in which (1) the cylinder is pivotally connected at its lower end to a forwardly extending arm or bracket rigidly connected with the steering-pillar, (2) the arrangement of the piston-rod and cylinder in their connexions respectively with the fork and frame may be reversed, and (3) the springs may be arranged outside the cylinder containing the liquid check in such manner as to combine therewith in action.
