Title: Pressing Iron
Inventor: KALMAR JULIUS
Filed: 1902-02-26
Granted: 1902-04-10
Abstract: 4852. Kalmßr, J. Feb. 26. Ironing.-Relates to hand-irons which are provided with vapour burners, and consists (1) in constructing them so as to prevent transmission of heat from the iron to the fuel reservoir, and (2) in providing them with a valve 24, Fig. 1, to regulate the size of the flame and to extinguish the same. The iron is made of two separate pieces 1, 2, united by bolts 3. The part 1 has open ends 17, 18, so that in ironing a current of air passes through it and keeps it cool, thereby preventing transmission of the heat from the part to the reservoir 13. The curving of the pipe 13 containing the wick and the heat-insulated part 14 also aid in preventing this transmission. The tube containing the wick need not pass through the reservoir 13. In the modification shown in crosssection in Fig. 4, the upward transmission of heat is prevented by a sheet-metal mantle 33. Special air-supply pipes 39, 40 lie below the burner 38 and have trumpet-mouth ends 43, 44 opening into the air. The holes in the burner 38 lie along its under surface, so that the flame is mainly directed against the bottom of the iron.

Granted: 1903-05-28
Abstract: 8291. Fulcher, W. H. April 9, A.D. 1902, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Ex cavatin g; dredging. -Relates to apparatus e s - pecially designed for excavating canals &c. A frame B is supported on four balls 42, of which only two are shown, in advance of the excavation, and is drawn along as required by anchored ropes wound on drums mounted i the frame. Mounted on the rear of the frame B is a frame A, in which are geared four screws 4 supporting, at their lower ends, sprocket - wheels 5 for endless chains 8 carrying the ploughs and buckets 53, 10, by which the earth is dug up and removed to the side of the excavation. The outer sprocket-wheels 15, 7 for the chains 8 are mounted in a frame running on beams 2 forming a transverse extension of the frame B. This movable frame is guided on the beams 2 by upper and lower rollers 19 connected by beams 18. The shaft carrying the wheels 15 is driven, in order to drive the chains 8, by chains 13, carried over relatively large sprockets on the shaft, and extended between sprockets 16 at the outer ends of the beams 2 and sprocket 12 on the motor shaft. The screws 4 are raised and lowered by the simultaneous rotation of their nuts by means of chain and bevel gearing. In operation, the screws 4 are depressed step by step from their highest position, until the bottom of the trench is reached. They are then raised, the whole apparatus is moved forward, and the operation repeated. After cutting one side of the trench in this manner, the apparatus is turned on the balls 42 through 180‹, and brought back, cutting the other side. The two pairs of screws 4 and the frame 18, 19, &c. are connected by a central beam 3, and two side beams 9, along which the buckets are guided. Fig. 2 shows a side view, and Fig. 3 an end view, of one of the buckets. The bottom 10<b> is hinged and, normally, held closed by a catch 51, which, on the bucket reaching the discharging point, is opened by contact with a projection 3. At the same time, the rollers supporting the rear end of the bucket run on to raised parts 9<a> of the beams 9, and, on dropping suddenly therefrom, produce a shock, which effectually empties the bucket. The shafts carrying the sprockets 5 are mounted in dirt-excluding bearings, Fig. 6, comprising soft packing held in place by a ring 5<d> and an end collar 5<c>. The earth is cleared away from the downwardly-moving screws by bevelled cutters 4<a> carried by them. Fig. 7 shows one of the balls 42. It is mounted in a socket on balls 43 and is kept in place by rollers 44. By fitting the ploughs with transverse blades, or placing them underneath the buckets, the apparatus may be used for clearing weeds &c. from the sides of a canal &c.

Granted: 1904-05-14
Abstract: 8431. Smith, D. April 14. Riveting.-Parts of locks and latches are riveted together by press tools or by light reciprocating hammers according to the strength of the parts to be riveted. Fig. 1 shows press tools suitable for riveting a pin or stump into a latch plate T. The riveting tool or punch P is carried by the press head S, which operates a cranked screw M to grip the pin in clamps C during the down-stroke and to release it during the up-stroke. The punch may be partially rotated by a handle H to effect the riveting in two or more strokes, depressions formed in the face of the punch being brought consecutively over the pin. The bed is made in two parts B, B', the clamps being interchangeable and knocked out by means of a hole O. The pins &c. may be fed into position by means of a hopper and vertical tube, which delivers them right end up above a slide. The bed is pivoted so that it may be moved below the tube to displace the slide, thus allowing the lowest pin to fall into the clamps, the bed being then moved below the punch. The screw M has a ball-and-socket connection with its operating link to permit of the oscillation of the bed. The tube may be moved instead of the bed. The punch may have an aperture to receive the end of the pin &c., while the punch forces the plate down to the shoulder of the pin. T-shaped rivets are secured in the rims of locks and latches by means of a punch P, Fig. 6, pivoted at X<1> and rocked by a handle H against stops a, a<1> to crush and form the head, an intermediate position being first employed to close ;the rim upon the rivet. The punch is of sufficient width to rivet, simultaneously, the pair of rivets usually in each rim plate. The rim is then secured to the latch plate S<1>, Fig. 7, by a punch P, the rim W being clamped against a block K by a block J, against which bears a toggle M operated by links f from the press head. The punch may be in two parts laterally adjustable, or may be of sufficient width to rivet the pair of rivets simultaneously. Similar tools may be used for riveting together the cases of padlocks. Fig. 13 shows a hammer for riveting the fore-ends of mortice locks, the caps of cupboard, drawer, and till locks or other parts, which will not stand compression. The head h is carried by a reciprocating spindle S, which is slowly oscillated to traverse the head over the surfaces of the rivets C. The oscillation is effected by a lever L engaging a crank-disc N, driven from the main shaft H and also engaging a pin P on a disc feathered on the spindle. In riveting padlocks, the spindle may be continuously rotated.
