Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 17,672. Coles, S. O. Cowper-. Aug. 7. Pickling metals by; surfaces for, preparing.- In a continuous process for removing scale and oxide from metallic surfaces and drying and galvanizing the same, the scale is removed. by the process described in Specification No. 26,947, A.D. 1904. The plates b to be treated are fed continuously into a tank a between rolls c, c<1>, and guide grooves c<2>. The lower rolls c are driven by the chain gear, the upper rolls c<1> 'being carried in pivoted frames and weighted so as to accommodate plates of varying thickness. On each side of the plate is an anode d of lead or carbon, the plate constituting the cathode, and the rolls being connected by brushes f with the source of current. The solution, by means of pipes a<1>, a<2>, a<3> and a pump e, is continuously passed from the tank a through a filtering-medium in the tank g, so as to remove the scale and oxide which is mechanically thrown off from the plates by the hydrogen liberated at the cathode. The plates, on emerging from the bath, are led through hot rollors h across a drying-plate i into the galvanizing-bath. Wires, strips, or ribbons are led through externally heated tubes after leaving the tank a.

Abstract: 18,510. Herrmann, F. Aug. 17. Moulding bricks. - A conveyer c, situated under the cutting - table z, is arranged to contact with the bricks and to remove and separate them. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the conveyer runs on rails on an adjustable frame f and is placed in position when the frame is lowered. The frame is then raised till the first projection e on the conveyer is in contact with the outermost brick, when the conveyer is moved from right to left and the projections on it contact one by one with the bricks and lift them away separated. The conveyer may work through a gap in the centre of the table z, or may be forked and work on either side. Fig. 7 shows a modification, in which the conveyer runs horizontally, lazy-tongs n with bearing-surfaces o for the bricks being attached to the conveyer. The lazy-tongs being raised, as shown on the right of Fig. 7, the bricks are lifted from the table, the conveyer is run out, and the lazy-tongs are lowered so that the bricks separate. In other modifications, parallel and connected rods carrying bearing plates are pivoted below the table, so that when they are turned into the vertical they raise the bricks, and when slanted again separate them.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Reduction Gearing
Inventor: MELVILLE GEORGE WALLACE

Granted: 1908-07-02
Abstract: 18,759. Melville, G. W., and Macalpine, J. H. Feb. 23, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Turbines.-In toothed reduction gearing for transmitting power from turbines and other highspeed motors, one set of toothed wheels is yieldingly mounted so as automatically to equalize the distribution of pressure on the teeth. The turbine shaft 33 is secured by feathers 32, Fig. 3, to a hollow sleeve 21 which carries helical or other toothed pinions 21 gearing with similar toothed wheels 28, shown in plan in Fig. 1, which are carried in fixed bearings 30. The sleeve 21 is carried by a floating frame 23 which is adjustably bolted to fixed H-girders 24. The elasticity of the webs allows angular motion of the frame 23 in both vertical and horizontal planes. The horizontal movement may be prevented, if desired, by the use of struts 46, Figs. 1 and 12, which bear against plugs 47 on the frame 23, and against screws 48 carried by arms 52, which may be adjustably fixed by toothed screw blocks 53 engaging the toothed periphery of a fixed wheel 50. In order to allow longitudinal movement of the shaft 33, a coupling, Figs. 1 and 16, is employed between the gearing and the turbine. Each shaft-end is provided with two lugs 38, opposite lugs being connected b links 39 pivoted on pins 40. One shaft end is squared and engages a plate 42 secured to the other. Water or other cooling fluid is delivered through a packing device 55 to passages 56, 57 on the shaft 33, the water then flowing along the hollow sleeve 21 to a guiding piece 59 and outlet 61. Lubricant is supplied to the bearings through holes 63 and passes to outlet passages 64. The bearings and gearing lubricant are kept separate by providing the sleeve 21 with collars 66. A casing to cover the gearing may be provided with openings covered by wire-gauze supported on wire netting so arranged that the action of the gearing will circulate air to cool the gears. The casing may be lagged with felt, blanket, wood, &c., to prevent resonance.

Filed: 1907-09-05
Granted: 1908-04-30
Abstract: 19,855. Boyden, T. L. Sept. 5. Switches.-The blades of a fly switch are locked in the 'on' and 'off' positions by spring-pressed pivoted pawls, and are released by a stud or projection on the handle engaging the pawls. The handle c and blades a are pivoted on the same centre b and connected together by a helical spring. Figs. 3 and 6 show the blades locked in the 'on' and 'off' positions respectively. When the handle is moved to open the switch, the spring is put in tension and the projection f comes into contact with the pawl e, releasing the blades, which move rapidly into the open position. The locking-off pawl is operated in a similar manner. For convenience, when the switch has two contact-blades, the locking-on pawl is arranged to engage one blade and the locking-off pawl the other.

Abstract: 2886. Weil, D. Feb. 8, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Cigarette - making machines.-The final closure of the paper wrapper in continuous-rod machines, or in machines for making paper tubes in which the edges of the wrappers are interlocked with each other, is produced in a second folding-device in which the interlocking is completed. This consists of a cap 37 provided with a hole directed at a certain angle with the axis of the machine, in which is fixed a rod 38 having a helical groove 39 which has a quarter turn in the length of the rod, the bottom of the groove being vertical at the end adjacent to guides 35, 36, to which the cap is secured, and horizontal at the end of the machine. The continuous rod of tobacco and the paper ribbon 18, Fig. 2, are carried forward by an endless band 19 into a tapering guide 17 and then into a forming-tube, composed of a groove 21, in a member 20 secured to the guide 17, and a heel 33 formed on a piece 23, Fig. 7, which is detachably connected to an extension on the member 20. The heel 33 is a continuation of a tapering extension 32 of the piece 23, and projects freely from the end of the extension to the end of the machine. The heel 33 co-operates with a folding and clasping member formed by the longitudinal guides 35, 36, which are arranged at the sides of the heel 33 and cause the edges of the paper to approach each other. Towards the end, the guide 36 has a wedgeshaped projection 40, Fig. 9, which, engaging under a groove 40<1> in the guide 35, pushes the edges of the paper towards the left, producing a shortening of one edge and a lengthening of the other edge, and finally brings the edges, partly engaged one into the other, into the longitudinal axis of the machine. The folded edges of the paper then enter the groove 39 in the final closing-device and are turned down into an horizontal position and folded on to the body of the cigarette, after which the clasping is tightened by passing between two milled rollers 41, 42, the roller 41 being driven while the roller 42 rotates on a fixed axis in the heel 33.
