Abstract: 28,763. Druet, L. F. A., and Larraburu, G. Dec. 13. Bakers' ovens.-Comprises modifications in ovens with endless travelling soles. The sole is carried by front and rear sprockets 7, 8 on shafts 9, 10 mounted to rotate in antifriction bearings 11. The rear bearings are movable to allow tensioning of the sole by a counterweight, and comprise a carriage 30, Fig. 6, mounted on rollers 31 running on a fixed framework 32. The sole is driven from the rear axle through worm gearing 36, 37, so dimensioned that the gears remain in mesh whatever the position of the carriage 30 on the framework. Each element of the sole consists of a metal holder 15. with a dovetailed groove, in which are secured shaped fire-bricks 16 forming the surface of the sole. The sides of the groove are parallel for a short distance near the middle of the holder to allow the insertion and removal of the bricks. The elements are hinged together by perforated ears 17, 18, which are shaped to engage with the teeth of the sprockets 7, 8. The upper and lower laps of the sole are supported between their ends by auxiliary endless roller chains 20, running on guide-rails 22, 23, and positioned to be engaged by bearing-pieces 24 carried by the holders 15. Sliding plates 40 mounted on wheels 41 carried by axles freely supported in guides 43 protect the front end of the sole from the direct heat of the fire. The oven preferably slopes downwards from front to rear, and a guiding slope 46 and an endless conveyer 48 are provided to facilitate the insertion and withdrawal of the loaves.

Granted: 1913-09-04
Abstract: 10,867. Kroenert, C. F. M., and Meyer, H. J. May 8. R o t a r y machines; inking-apparatus.-In a machine for printing in colours on paper or fabrics in lengths, the stretching of the coloursupplying bands is effected by hand-levers which also serve to correct small errors in relative setting of the bands and pattern cylinders, and the driving-wheels of these parts are constantly in mesh with wheels on the impression-cylinder shaft. The colour band s and pattern cylinder f of each set are carried respectively by sliding members d, e on arms c secured to the machine framing, and by means of a hand - wheel h, worm gear k, k<1>, and spur gear d', j<1>, j, e<1>, adjusting movement in the ratio of 2 to 1 is imparted to the band slide d and cylinder slide e as described in Specification 17,335/07. Each band s is supplied with colour by a roller q from a trough r, and is carried by rollers l, m, n on a slide d, the rollers m being driven from a wheel on one end of the shaft of the impression cylinder through trains of gear, one wheel of each of which is mounted on swing arms on the shafts of the rollers m and the gear driving such wheel so that the gear remains in mesh throughout adjustment of the slides d. A wheel u<1>, loose on the other end of the impression cylinder shaft, is geared with each of the pattern cylinders through wheels 11 on a stud 10 guided in a curved slot in the frame and carried by arms 12 centred on the cylinder shafts, thereby providing for constant meshing of the cylinders throughout their adjustment with the wheel u<1> and permitting ready changing of any cylinder. Each colour band is stretched by means of hand-levers 14 arranged on each side frame and carrying hand-levers 17 which carry eccentrically to their pivots the shaft of the roller n, whereby the tension at opposite sides of the bands may be separately adjusted and the bands caused to bear evenly on the printing-cylinders. Each lever 14 carries a toothed or perforated sector plate for locking the levers 14 in adjusted position, and the levers 14 are held in adjusted position by notched or perforated sectors on the side frame. A scraper 20 which may be arranged above or below the band is attached to a shaft carrying a handle 21, which can be locked in adjusted position to a quadrant. The pattern cylinders are adjustable laterally by adjustment of their bearings through a hand-lever 23 adjustably held by a toothed quadrant 24.

Granted: 1914-08-24
Abstract: 19,053. Morgner, C. G. Aug. 22. Window blinds.-Sliding screens for car windows comprise wire netting 10 secured in a sheet-metal frame formed of an inner member 1, Fig. 4, having flanges 3, 4, and an outer member 2 having a folded inner edge 7 and a tubular outer edge 8, both members being grooved at 5, 9 for strengthening purposes. The flange 4 fits beneath the tube 8, and the edge of the flange 3 is beaded and sprung into engagement with the fold 7. A weather strip 11 consisting of folded fabric is secured to a bar 12 in the tube 8 of the top bar of the screen frame, and bears against the outer sash 35. The side bars of the screen are provided with shoes 14, 18, which are pressed out into engagement with the guide grooves 31 by means of springs 16, 19, 20, and are formed at their upper ends as spring catches 28 to engage notches 85 and lugs 81, 84 on the guide grooves for holding the screen in the lowered and raised positions. The left-hand shoe 18 is forced, in an adjustable manner, against its guide by a cam-lever 52 pivoted to a block 54 in the tubular member 8 of the screen and having a curved outer end pressed against the spring 19 on the shoe by means of links 59 pivoted to a vertically sliding rod 55, which is adjusted by means of a screw 60. Means for operating the screen, as shown in Fig. 12, comprise vertically-sliding tubular rods 64 housed in the tube 8 of the side bars of the screen and formed at their lower ends with handles 65. The rods 64 are automatically withdrawn from the tubes 8, when the screen is raised by hand, by the engagement of a spring catch 78 with a notch in the guide grooves, and, when withdrawn, the rods 64 are held by the engagement of spring bolts 66 in the bottom screen bar with apertures 71 in the rods 64, so that the rods can be used to push the screen into its fully-raised position. When the screen is lowered, the lower ends of spring plungers 73 mounted in the tubular rods 61 come in contact with the window sill and release the bolts 66 so that the rods 64 may be pushed back into the tubes 8. The parting strip 32 between the sashes 34, 35 on the right-hand side is secured to a spacing- bar 40 by means of hooks 41, 47, its lower end being slotted to engage grooves in the sides of a lug 44 on the bar 40. The guide member 31 is secured to the strip 32 by means of hooks 49, and a folded weather strip 51, mounted between the guide 31 and strip 32, works against the sash bars. The left-hand guide 31 is secured by means of hooks 50 to the parting strip 33. To facilitate the detachment of the guides 31, their upper portions 82 are separate from the lower portions and are secured to the parting strips 32, 33.
