Granted: 1911-01-26
Abstract: 13,302. Preston, A. F. June 8, J909, [Convention date]. Pantographic apparatus.-Relates to pattern enlarging and reducing machines of the kind described in Specification 21,649/08, the present invention having for its chief object to allow for a constant width of seam or fold whatever the degree of enlargement &c. The standard pattern 3, Fig. 6, and the sheet of stock 4 are clamped in a holder, which, in the example of construction now described, is arranged to slide upon a table or base, and the sheet 4 moves between two fixed arms 18, 19 carrying a stationary cutter 20 and a cutter 21 adapted to be raised against the sheet 4 by an eccentric pin 23 on a shaft 22. In the cutter 20 is mounted a pin 27, which constitutes the stationary pivot of the pantographic mechanism and is carried by a bar 28 adjustably secured in a block 29. A second bar 31 slides in the block 29, and is detachably secured in a block 32. The bar 31 is provided with a stud 33 detachably connected by a dowel pin 34 to a guide-block 35, which has a detachable block 36 engaging the pattern 3. The sliding bar of the pantograph passes through the blocks 29, 30, which are also connected to one of the pivoted links of the pantograph, the other pivoted link being connected to the work-holder. To allow for a seam of uniform width, the outline, or a part thereof, is graded from an imaginary line within the periphery of the standard pattern, this result being effected by the removal of the block 36 from the guide-block 35, as shown in Fig. 7. At the same time, an increment of constant width is added to the pattern produced by shifting the pivot pin 27 from the socket 26 to a socket 65. A greater range of adjustments for different widths of seam or fold may be provided for.

Clutches, claw. -- Relates to devices for enabling a machine driving-shaft to be driven by a power clutch, or to be hand-operated for purposes of trial, adjustment, repairs, cleaning, &c., the power-clutch being locked out of engagement, while the hand-clutch is engaged. The shaft 3 carries a part 10 in which slides a clutch-pin 9, pressed by a spring 12 into engagement with recesses 8 in the power pulley 5; the clutch being normally disengaged by the action of a spring 22 on an arm 14 engaging the pin 9 and operated from a treadle 21. A rod 23 has an inclined end 24 engaging a locking-pin 25, which may enter a recess 26 in the pin 9 when the pin is retracted. A hand - wheel 28 is adapted to be engaged by a pin 33 carried by an extension 29 of the shaft 3. The pin 33 has lugs 41 adapted to be engaged at one point of the revolution of the shaft 3 by the toe 40 of an arm 39 connected by a sliding rod 37 to an arm 35 actuating the rod 23. When the arms 35, 39 are moved to the left, the pin 25 is moved outwards to lock the pin 9, and the pin 33 is engaged with the hand-wheel 28. In the opposite direction, the hand-wheel is disengaged, and the pin 9 is released so that it may be engaged with the pulley 5 on operation of the treadle 21.

Abstract: 21,402. Koepe, A. Sept. 14. Hardening ground.-In a method of solidifying water-bearing soil in stages by injection through a bore-hole, the bore-hole a is driven to the lowest limit of the desired depth of solidification, and the soil is solidified in stages from the bottom upwards by cement or the like injected through a tube c. A packing d, between the tube and bore-hole, determines the height of each successive section. To allow each freshly cemented section to set without disturbance, the portion of the bore-hole passing therethrough is filled with sand, gravel, or the like, the cement rising in the bore-hole and being, later, forced into the next upper section. Specification 16,986/10 is referred to.

Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 199. Woodroffe, F. K. Jan. 4. Gas analysis.- An apparatus for determining the amount of carbon dioxide or other gases in furnace gases &c. comprises a hand pump b for measuring the gases connected to a three-way valve c having connexions to the gas supply, an absorption vessel n into which the gases are forced, and the atmosphere. The amount of gas absorbed in the vessel n is determined by bringing the gas back into the pump b, and noting the effect produced on a hydro-pneumatic indicating-apparatus p. In the form of indicating-apparatus shown in Fig. 1, a graduated tube p dips into liquid in a vessel q, and a reading is taken when by adjusting the latter vessel, the levels of the 'liquid in the vessels p, q are the same. In a 'modified construction, the vessels p, q are connected by a flexible pipe, while in other forms, the indicating-device comprises a liquid-sealed bell float connected to a pointer. To ensure that the gas is measured at atmospheric pressure, it is arranged that the piston shall, when filling the cylinder b, lift a stop m. The threeway valve is then operated to put the pump in communication with the atmosphere, and the stop pressed down, a measured quantity of gas at atmospheric pressure being then enclosed in the pump.

Hopper wagons. -In a hopper wagon having two longitudinally hinged doors and two guide-flaps for directing the discharged material towards the centre or either or both sides of the vehicle, the two guide-flaps are connected to move simultaneously and are operated through gearing from a band-wheel. The doors are reclosed, after discharge, by operating the flaps. Fig. 2 shows the wagon arranged to discharge to one side. The two guide-flaps 7, 8 are mounted on shafts 16, 17 having cranks connected by a rod 18 so that they turn simultaneously. The shaft 16 has an arm 20 connected by a pair of links 19 to an arm 23 on a shaft 24, which has a crank 22 connected by a pair of links 25 to a nut 27 on a vertical shaft 26. The shaft 26 is turned to operate the flaps by a hand-wheel 28. As an alternative, the shaft 24 may have a worm-wheel engaged by a screw on the shaft 26. The doors 5, 6 are normally retained in their closed position by tappets 14, 15 mounted on longitudinal shafts 29, 30 which have cranks 31, Fig. 5, at their ends having pins 32 engaging slots in levers 33, 34. Pivoted catches 41, 42 secure the levers 33, 34 when in the " doors locked position. To discharge between the rails, the flaps 7, 8 are first swung outwards and the doors allowed to fall against stops 37, 38 on the flaps. To close the doors when either or both are in the position of the door 6, Fig. 2, the flaps 7, 8 are turned outwards until the doors slip past their upper edges. The flaps are then turned back until first the stops 37, 38 and then the edges of the flaps which may have anti-friction rollers, engage inclined ribs 10, 11 on the doors. When the doors are nearly closed, the tappets 14, 15 are operated and the flaps 7, 8 fall by gravity into the position shown, the links 19 having a slottel connexion with the arm 20 for this purpose. Stops 39, 40 limit the outward movement of the flaps.
