Title: Improvements in or relating to Presses for Mechanically Moulding Vitrifiable Materials.
IPC: C03B11/12
Filed: 1911-09-29
Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 21,531. Silhyo Co., [Geille, E.]. Sept. 29. Moulding under pressure.- Relates to a mechanical press of the type fitted with a reversing mould for moulding facing-blocks &c. of vitrifiable material. The mould itself consists of a base-plate 10, Fig. 9, a bottom plate 13 having an engraved design, and a divided ring 14, Figs. 4 and 9, hinged at 15 to the plate 10 and fitted with a catch 20. When the ring 14 is in position and locked by the catch 20, it overlaps the plate 13 and interlocks at the edge with the base 10, thus holding the parts securely together. When the mould is locked in this way, the parts 11, 12 form trunnions upon which it is turned and by which it is supported on the vertically sliding frame 24, Fig. 1. The material is placed in a receptacle 26 supported by springs 28 and the mould M is forced down upon it by the pressing head 30. The receptacle 26 sinks under the pressure and a fixed plunger 29 rises through a suitable hole in the receptacle 26 and compresses the molten material. The mould is then raised, reversed and opened and the bottom plate 13, bearing the finished article, is removed by a projecting piece 18, Fig. 4. Bolts 34 are provided to assist in raising the port 26, if desired. The plunger 29 may be watercooled.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Governing Mechanism for Elastic Fluid Turbines.
IPC: F01D1/02
Filed: 1911-12-02
Granted: 1912-09-19
Abstract: 27,022. Warwick Machinery Co., [Allgemeine Elektricitõts-Ges.]. Dec. 2. Regulating.-A governor a controls a throttle valve g through a servo-motor n and pilot-valve m in the usual manner. A loose piston b is connected to the governor sleeve by a spring or in any other suitable manner. The space above the piston b is connected by a pipe k to a source of low pressure, say the condenser. The space below the piston b is connected by a pipe i to the conduit f connecting the valve g and turbine admission nozzles. As the piston b is a loose fit, the pressure on both sides thereof will be the same under normal circumstances. If, however, the pressure in the conduit f suddenly rises, the piston b is forced upwards and the governor sleeve caused to rise, thereby closing the valve g. Specification 20,549/11 is referred to.

Abstract: 12,425. Western Electric Co., [Woodward, F. T.]. July 8, 1912. Drawings to Specification. Automatic and semi - automatic exchange systems.-The system described is the same as that described in Specification 15,952/12. A calling subscriber is connected by first and second line-finding switches to an idle firstselector trunk, and thence by a lateral connexion through a distributing-switch to an operator, who enquires the wanted number and writes it down on a key-set, the connexion being then completed automatically through numerical selectors. The connexion is described as passing through two main exchanges, equipped with group selectors, and two ' satellites ' or district offices, at which only line-finders and lineselectors are provided. The claims in the present Specification relate to the first or non- numerical part of the connexion. The first linefinder, situated at the district office to which the calling subscriber belongs, is connected to the main exchange by a two-wire trunk, the incoming end of which is provided with line and cut-off relays, in the same way as a subscriber's line, to control the operation of the second line-finder. In the interval between the operation of the first and second line-finders, the relay controlling the release of the first line-finder (i.e. the restoration to normal of the sequence-switch associated with it) is kept energized by a circuit over the calling subscriber's line-wires, so that if the subscriber should hang up his receiver during this interval, the apparatus is duly restored to normal condition. Specifications 20,840/09, 16,867/11, 23,508/11, 16,151/12, 12,423/13, 12,424/13, and 12,426/13 are also referred to.

Abstract: 21,657. Brougham, F. J., [Mustad & S÷n, 0.]. Sept. 25. Forging nails; forging-dies.-Horseshoe nails are forged from bar stock F in a four-die press, but instead of introducing the bar far enough into the dies E, as at B, Fig. 1, to produce the whole shank at one operation, a shorter length A, which, however, contains enough metal for the whole shank, is introduced. After the action of the dies E, which forces back the bar F, as in Fig. 2, this is again advanced, so that at the second action of the dies E the finished shank b, Fig. 4, is produced. By this means, the metal to be upset to form the head has a quick taper so that it does not buckle during that operation.
