Patent GB-191114648-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Bright Annealing of Non-ferrous Metals.
Inventor: BARKER WILLIAM KIRTON
IPC: C21D9/00
Filed: 1911-06-21
Granted: 1912-06-20
Abstract: 14,648. Barker, W. K. June 21. Annealing. - Means for bright - annealing articles of non-ferrous metals comprises a vertical or inclined retort provided at one or both ends with a rotary drum having compartments in which the articles are adapted to be sealed from the air. The articles, which may be contained in perforated metal boxes, are fed from a shoot d<1> into a compartment b of a drum a, whereupon the drum is given a quarter-turn by hand or by mechanical means, thus sealing the contents from the air. Steam or gas is then admitted to the compartment b through a port in the wall of the casing a and a port k to expel the air through the opposite wall, after which the casing is given another quarter-turn and the articles pass into the retort e. At the discharge end, the articles fall into a compartment b<1>. The air in the compartment b<2> having been displaced by steam, the drum is given a quarterturn and water is admitted to cool the articles, the steam formed passing into the retort e through a passage r and escaping through a relief valve s. When the compartment is full of water, it is automatically emptied by a siphon, and on further rotation of the drum, the articles pass out of the apparatus. When a drum is used at one end only of the retort, the other end is sealed by water or other suitable means.

Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 14,671. Fries, A. de. June 21. Forging nuts; forging-dies; punching.-In the manufacture of nuts, the blank is expanded beyond its final diameter, and then forced through a die to remove the excess of metal. The blanks 41 are fed one at a time by a finger 38 into a recessed die 3 in which they are countersunk and partly pierced by the plunger 39. The blank is then ejected by a rod 18 and moved into the die 4 by a finger 23 on the frame 22. While the blank is being expanded by the punch 15, the frame 22 moves first towards the front in the direction of the arrow a, then to the right, and finally towards the back ready to feed the blanks again. At the next movement of the frame 22, the blank, which at this stage has the form shown in Fig. 5, is fed into the die 5 and held by a spring 36 while it is pierced. In the die 6, the lower end of the hole is countersunk, and, if desired, the upper outer edge sloped off as shown in Fig. 11, by the die 13. Finally, the blank is forced through the die 7 by a punch 44 to remove the excess of metal, which has been pressed into a flange, as shown in Fig. 14, by the die 14. The fingers 16, 17 are employed to centre the blanks.
