Abstract: 27,232. Wakfer, W. H., and Peck, S. Nov. 26. [Cognate Applications, 2181/13 and 9498/13.] Percussive drills; percussive hand tools; loose tools and bits, retaining.-In a percussive hammer, drill, or the like wherein a rod on the hammer piston engages a nut so as to rotate the nut in one direction while ratchet-mechanism prevents rotation in the other direction, and wherein the piston or the nut engages a chuck so as to convey rotation to the latter, the ratchet-mechanism comprises a reversible ratchet ring and reversible pawls whereby the direction of rotation may be changed. Two forms of tool-retainers are also described. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the piston U has a square helically-twisted rod c, or a helically-grooved round rod, engaging the similarly formed bore of a nut e, which has a square portion engaging the chuck x and also has radial recesses carrying spring-pressed pawls z engaging a ratchet-wheel s. During one stroke of the piston, the pawls z and the ratchet-wheel s prevent the nut from rotating, and the piston therefore rotates; on the reverse stroke, the nut rotates and drives the chuck x and tool h. The ratchet-wheel and pawls may be reversed, the tool then being rotated in the opposite direction and during the opposite stroke of the piston. The space in the cylinder end may contain lubricant, the plate k then being perforated. A ball bearing 6 is provided and may comprise a cage consisting of two grooved rings 7, Fig. 5, attached bv rivets 8 and having slots through which the balls project. The tool may be retained in place by a stop 11 secured between resilient cushions 12 on the bolts 10 and having a slot 59, Fig. 7, in one end to allow displacement for removal of the tool. The mounting of the handle 19, comprising a rubber &c. layer on a tube. may comprise resilient buffers 22. Motive fluid may pass from the cylinder to a hollow tool through ports 16, 17 in the piston-rod and water &c. may be admitted through ports 18, 18<b>. A buffer ring 9 or an anvil block may be provided. In the tool shown in Fig. 8, the piston-rod c engages the nut e as before but itself conveys the rotation to the chuck x through a fluted or angular extension 65 engaging the chuck either directly or through an intermediate sleeve 66. A perforated ring 81 may be provided to limit inward movement of a collarless drill steel. The rod extension 65 may be of less, equal, or greater diameter than the rod c, the nut e in the last case being in two or more parts. The tools may be held in place by dogs 87, Fig. 14, held by a ring which may comprise hinged sections 88, 89 locked by a spring-pressed cap 90; or the dogs may hold the ring 88, 89 in place while a forward extension thereon engages a collar on the tool to hold the latter. The piston-rod c may be detachably secured to the piston b by a tapered end engaging a recess therein. The construction throughout is described in great detail and numerous slight modifications are referred to.

Title: Sheet Delivery Mechanism.
Inventor: BRETTELL FREDERICK GILBERT
IPC: B65H29/36
Filed: 1913-08-14
Granted: 1914-05-07
Abstract: 18,472. Brettell, F. G., [Dittman, S. E.]. Aug. 14. Delivery apparatus. - A drop-sheet delivery apparatus comprises endless tapes 14 so guided around fixed rollers 13, travelling rollers 12, and loopers 15, 16, as to form sheet-supporting surfaces which extend at one level to receive a sheet, and shorten at a lower level to deliver the sheet. In the form shown, the rollers 12 are carried by chains 10 passing over sprocketwheels 9, 11, turning in a clockwise direction. A sheet has just been delivered by tapes 2 and cam-operated bridge 3 on to the upper surface of the tapes 14, which is now almost fully extended. On further movement of the upper roller 12. small wheels 19 at the ends of its shaft engage fixed cams 20, and cause the frames 25 pivoted on the shaft of the wheels 9 &c. to lift at the outer end. The roller 12 then travels towards the roller 13, thus allowing the tapes 14 to roll from under the sheet, and at the same time the rollers 19 run down the inclined parts of the cams 20, thus gradually lowering the frames 25 without causing the sheets to be disturbed by the air. As the supporting-surface of the tapes shortens to drop the sheet on the table 23, a second supporting-surface is being formed and extended by the second roller 12, and receives the next sheet. The looping- devices 15, 16 are loose on the shaft, as are also the rollers 13. The chains 10 are driven through a form of quick-return motion 6, 7, 26, 27, 28, so that the rollers 12 get a slow movement when passing around the sprocket-wheels. The bands 14 are preferably made of elastic or extensible material.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Treatment of Lignite.
Inventor: RIGBY THOMAS
IPC: F26B17/10
Filed: 1913-08-20
Granted: 1914-08-20
Abstract: 18,920. Rigby, T., and Testrup, N. Aug. 20. Fuel.-In drying lignite by processes such as are described in Specifications 14,624/11, 24,748/11, and 969/12, in which the material is carried along by a current of hot gases and separated therefrom when dry, the temperature of the gases at the completion of the drying operation is maintained between 75‹ and 150‹ C., whereby even drying is attained in spite of variations in the temperature of the gases, water content of the raw material, &c. The maintenance of the temperature is conveniently effected by varying the rate of feed, by-passing some of the gas, or adding cooled exhaust gas to the stream. As shown, the material passes from a disintegrator a to a bucket wheel c, driven by variable gear d, which delivers it through a duct e to the drying-duct f. The control of the exit temperature is effected through the gear d, which varies the feed. In the duct f, a mass of metal tubes forms a heat accumulator. The gas is drawn through the duct by a fan and delivered to cyclone separators j, from which the dust is delivered to a briquetting-press. The gas escapes through a chimney l, traces of dust being removed by a washer m. The apparatus is made strong so that any explosion may pass harmlessly to the chimney. Nozzles in the duct f supplying steam and water may be automatically opened on a rise of temperature due to a local fire following an explosion. The whole of the lignite may be dried completely by this process, or it may be partly dried, the completion being effected in any other way. Or a part may be dried in Schulze or other driers and mixed with that dried by this process.

Abstract: 1965. Bosch, R., [Firm of], Kazenmaier, A., and Bauer, E. Jan. 24. [Addition to 560/14, Class 7 (v), Internal-combustion engines, Starting &c.] Automatic circuitbreakers; switches, quick-action; switches, actuating; switches, contact member momentarily operated. - In switches used with engine turning-gear, the switch contacts m, n, Fig. 1, are normally held open by a spring k and may be closed by raising the armature l by hand, when the electro-magnet b will hold the contacts closed until the back electro-motive force of the electric motor causes the current to drop ; or the circuit through the winding of the electro-magnet may be momentarily closed by pressing in a pedal o, which through the spring u moves the headed rod s. This rod is held slightly by a spring-ball t until the ball is pushed inwards when the rod strikes a second spring-ball t' to close the contacts p, q. A spring r returns the pedal and rod to normal position. In a modification, a pedal actuated switch as described is used to close an independent winding on the electro-magnet so as to close the contacts m., n the winding in series with the motor holding these contacts closed. As shown in Fig. 3, the switch contacts are closed by moving a lever 13 from position 0 to position I. This moves a bar 14 which carries by a spring 20 a cam bowl 21 which rides on the upper face of a cam surface 23. The bowl strikes a projection 12 on the armature l and closes the contacts. A spring 32 returns the lever and bar to their normal position; in the return movement the cam bowl rides on the under surface of the cam. In another arrangement, a centrifugal governor has a lost-motion connexion with a sliding box carrying spring contacts which are drawn towards the co-operating contacts by a spring; the box is held with the contacts disengaged by a spring-controlled hand-lever; when the lever is turned the contacts engage: they are drawn out of engagement when the speed of the governor attains a certain value.
