Title: Improvements in Machines for Punching Roofing and like Slates.
Inventor: PRESTON EDWARD
Filed: 1905-03-09
Granted: 1905-09-07
Abstract: 4951. Preston, E. March 9. Punching slates.-A machine for punching and countersinking holes in roofing-slates has a plain punch carrying a spindle b working in a tubular head a and having a projecting pin b<2> engaging with a helical slot a<2> in the head. When a slate d to be punched is placed on the die c, and a handle b<1> turned to lower the spindle, the punch e pierces the slate, while the edge of the die c effects the chipping of the slate in a circle, concentric with the punched hole, to form a countersink as shown in Fig. 3. An ordinary adjustable and removable stop f may be provided. To allow detachment of the spindle b, the hole in the tubular head has a vertical groove a' which terminates at the top of the inclined slot a'. The groove a<1> may be dispensed with and the head may be a continuous tube, in which case a spring pin b<2> is used, bevelled on one side, so that, when the handle b<1> is turned and the pin b<2> raised to the top of the inclined slot, the end of the slot acts on the bevelled side of the pin and forces it inwards. The spindle can then be removed.

Granted: 1906-06-28
Abstract: 17,874. Rollason, A. Sept. 4. Gas and like engines. - To i ncrease the charges in four-stroke-cycle engines, to prevent premature ignition, and to facilitate scavenging, the cylinder or cylinders and the air pump are arranged co-axially. Fig. 1 shows an air-pump c disposed in line with and between a pair of tandem cylinders a, a<1>. The piston d of the air-pump is formed in one with the piston b, and is connected by outside rods e to the guide attached to the piston b<1>. The charges, which are fired alternately, are admitted through any suitable arrangement of valves constructed to admit a charge of air, then a charge of combustible, and lastly a further charge of air. During the admission strokes, air charges are drawn through the passages g and enter the cylinders through the inlet valves h, h<1>, while the combustible charge enters through any suitable controlling- valves n, n<1>. Towards the end of the suction strokes, compressed air is admitted to the cylinders from the chamber p when the inner face of the pump piston d uncovers the ports i. Air is compressed through the ports i into the chamber p by the inward movement of the pump piston d, the compression ceasing when the piston overruns the ports i. The air remaining in the cylinder c after the ports i are closed serves to cushion the movement of the reciprocating parts. On the in stroke of the piston d, air enters the cylinder c through the valve l and ports i. Air drawn into the pump cylinder through the valve k and port f during the out-stroke of the piston d is compressed into the passages g on the return stroke and used for scavenging.

Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 15,591. Jaeger, H. July 10. Oxides.-Molten metals, such as iron and tin, are atomized by means of a current of superheated steam blown through their mass, and are then oxidized by air at ordinary or reduced pressure. Thus, the metal is rendered molten in a boiler or the like b heated in a furnace n. Steam or the like under pressure is passed in by the tube a. A spray of fine metal particles and steam passes into the chamber c, the top of which is closed by canvas or similar material, to allow the escape of the steam. The metallic powder drops to the bottom of the vessel c, whence it is blown into the flame of a burner f of acetylene or other gas, partly by the small blower e, and partly by the suction of the more powerful blower i. Thence it passes into the retorts h, which are connected to each other, and there the metal is oxidized. The oxide passes through the tube p to the system of receivers k, k<1>, the latter being connected to each other by bags of canvas or filtering-cloth to allow any gases and steam to escape.
