Patent GB-190815860-A (GB)
Title: A Contrivance for Ensuring the Operation of Pumps on Liquids at a Temperature which approximates to that of Vapourization.
Inventor: CAILLE CHARLES
Filed: 1908-07-25
Granted: 1908-10-22
Abstract: 15,860. Caille, C. July 25. Piston pumps; pumps for hot liquids; air traps. - Single or double acting pumps are provided with two special valve sets, whereby they are adapted to operate with water of high temperature. In horizontal pumps, the hot liquid flows from a reservoir to a chamber a past suction valves b, c into the cylinder f. Communication between the ends of the cylinder is prevented by a diversion plate k. Leading from the chambers h, i are pipes q, which carry the special valve sets comprising three compartments 1, 2, 3. The upper part 3 communicates with the atmosphere through holes 4, and by a valved connexion with the intermediate compartment 2. In the part 1 is a valve s having an upper seating y and lower seating r. The valve has channels u on its exterior surface and a capillary passage v through the centre. Hot liquid and vapour pass into the cylinder and compartments h, i which communicate through the passage q, channels u, and hole v with the compartment 2 and with the atmosphere when the valve 6 is open. The vapour liberated collects and condenses in the chamber 2, which is usually water cooled, any remaining volatile matter escaping to the atmosphere. The compartments h, i and cylinder are thus filled with the liquid only, which raises the valve son to the seating y. Communication with the chamber 2 is thereby limited to the passage v. When delivery takes place, through the valves p or o, the valve s is kept in this raised position, and a small portion of the liquid is forced through the opening v into the chamber 2. On the next filling of the cylinder, however, when the valve s drops on to its seating r, this liquid will be drawn through the channels u into the cylinder. At this period, the valve 6 closes and communication with the atmosphere is cut off. For double-acting vertical pumps, one valve set communicates directly with the upper part of the cylinder, and the other valve set communicates with the lower part by means of grooves in the cylinder liner which forms channels in conjunction with the casing.

Patent GB-190828363-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in an Envelope Blank Punching Machine.
Inventor: LOGAN JAMES
Filed: 1908-12-29
Granted: 1909-07-29
Abstract: 28,363. Logan, J. Dec. 29. Punching-machines for envelope blanks. -Relates to a machine for punching address apertures in a number of envelope blanks. The passage of each blank over the die 19 is facilitated by a spring finger 66 ; and the punched blanks are finally collected in a pile on a table 63. The top blank of the pile is raised as shown at c, Fig. 4, by a reciprocating suction device d, whence it is carried to the position 14, shown in plan in Fig. 1, by grippers q, p attached to a carriage comprising cross bars r, s, intermittently reciprocated from an eccentric shaft h through links 8, 9, 10. The gripper device comprises a stationary jaw p and a movable jaw q mounted on a spring-controlled rock-shaftt. The jaw q is maintained normally in an elevated position against the action of the spring by the engagement of a pawl y with a trip lever 1, which is adapted to be oscillated to unlock the shaft t as it travels over a cam-surface 6 on the framework of the machine. At the end of the feed, the jaw q is again raised and locked by the trip-lever 1 by the engagement of a roller x, attached to the shaft t, and a stop 56. The blank is prevented from being drawn backwards, on the return of the feed-carriage, by pawls 15 attached to rails 13. At the second operation of the feedcarriage, the first blank is fed by fingers 16 up to gauges 36 into position under the punch 18, a curved spring guard 66, intermittently oscillated from the shaft h, serving to keep the edges of the blank and its punched aperture from fouling the die 19. The gauges 36 are carried on spring-controlled arms 35 mounted on the shaft 34, which is rocked to operate the gauges at the required moments by the engagement, with a crank-handle 39 thereon, of a cam-rail 40 attached to the feed-carriage. The punch 18 is furnished with a spring-mounted stripper-sleeve 30, which serves to clamp the blank on the die 19 during the punching operation. From the punch the blank is delivered by gripper and finger feed-devices, similar to those already described, and by a deflecting-finger 61, on to a receiving-table 63, where it is threaded over guiderods 65 and retained between stakes 64.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Moulds and Mould-adjusting Mechanism for Type-casting Machines.
IPC: B41B7/04
Filed: 1909-05-28
Granted: 1910-03-10
Abstract: 12,617. Pierpont, F. H., and Lanston Monotype Corporation. May 28. Moulds, low-quad, for type-casting machines. A sliding or movable block carried, independently of both sections of the divided mould-blade, by the mould body, engages the upper or cutoff section of the blade, and carries one or more latches adapted to engage the member that moves the lower or main section of the blade. The device is controlled by variations in the movement of the matrix-clamping mechanism in the manner described in Specification 18,231/06. The sliding block B, Fig. 10, has a projection B<1> which extends within an opening d in the cut-off section D, Fig. 8, of the mould-blade and serves to retract the cut-off section. Pivoted to the block B is a latch A adapted to engage a recess in the rod or slide 0, which is connected to and operates the main section of the blade by means of the crosspin P. A spring holds the latch in engagement with the slide 0, so that the two sections of the blade are retracted together. When a low quad is required, a lever H disengages the latch from the slide O, so that the cut-off section is not retracted with the main section but remains in the advanced position so as to close the top of the mould. The main section C of the mould-blade has an opening c for the cross-pin P, which does not engage the cut-off section D. The main section has also an opening c<1> for a stop J<3>, and an opening c<2> for a block J'. The main section is cut away, as shown, to receive the cut-off section which bears against a shoulder C' on the main section, by which it is pushed forwards. The cut-off section has an opening d for the stop J<3> and an opening d' for the block J<2>. A projection D<3>, D<6> extends into the opening c' in the main section, and projections D', D<7> extend into the opening c<1>. The lever H, which operates the latch A, is connected to a lever G, Fig. 1, which is connected by a link G<3> to the lower of a pair of floating levers E, F pivoted respectively to heads E', N<3>, between which is interposed a spring N<2>. The head N<3> is secured to the matrix-centring plunger, and the head E' to the lever M which operates the plunger. The outer end of the lever E is connected through a spring to an adjustable bracket E'. The presentation to the mould of a special matrix, having a centring-cavity of less than normal depth, causes relative movement of the heads E<1>, N<3> whereby the latch A is disengaged from the slide 0. Specification 8633/99 is referred to.

Abstract: 13,844. Shaw, F. June 12. Control mechanism.-In cycle handle-bar control devices for operating Bowden-wire mechanism for actuating variable-speed gears, such as are described in Specification 22,086/02, the ends of the two members e,g of the Bowden mechanism are connected to sliding blocks or thimbles f, j, which are adapted to be moved apart so as to operate both members of the mechanism by means of cams actuated by rotating a lever, means being provided for locking or retaining the mechanism in the desired operative position. The thimbles f, j are provided with pins k, m which project through slots n in a fixed sleeve a carried by a bracket b, which is secured to the handle-bar c by a clip d. The pins k, m are engaged by cams q in an outer sleeve o, which can be rotated by means of a lever p. In order to lock the sleeve o in various positions, the lever p is pivoted to the sleeve at s, and is adapted to ride over and engage stops t on the bracket b when the sleeve is rotated, the lever being kept in engagement with the stops by a spring u. In a modification, the thimbles f, j have each only a single pin, and the outer sleeve o is furnished with a corresponding cam having a flat portion which acts as a stop.
