Granted: 1904-12-01
Abstract: 304. Dupont, P. Jan. 5. Moulding.-Baths, laundry washing-vessels, tanks, saucepans, and the like are moulded mechanically by apparatus which is an improvement on that described in Specification No. 25,772, A.D. 1903. A flanged pattern C placed between the two parts of a mould, is of variable thickness according to the inclination of the parts so that when the pattern is removed and the mould reduced by the thickness of the flange d an article of uniform thickness will result. The pattern is supported internally during the compression of the sand for the external mould by a framework formed by boards jointed by means of grooves made halfway through each. The process of moulding is carried out as described in the former Specification. Three gate-formers h, i, j are used, the centre gate serving as an air vent. The formers are flanged and loose, being retained in position during compression by ribs on the compressor G and by the top beam of the press. The gates are kept clear of sand, during this and the subsequent finishing by hand, by an air blast.
Patent GB-190400624-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Hemp Spinning Machines.
Inventor: DUGAUQUIER LEON
Filed: 1904-01-09
Granted: 1904-05-05
Abstract: 624. Dugauquier, L. Jan. 9. Flyer frames.-Relates to the machine for spinning hemp as described in Specification No. 21,271, A.D. 1901. The speed of the bobbin 11, Fig. 1, instead of being reduced regularly as the bobbin fills, is reduced according to an " irregular " decreasing progression different for each kind of "yarn." The strap guide 42, driven from the shaft 48 by adjustable gearing 83, 84, is traversed with a varying velocity, the shaft 48, Fig. 2, being driven by the pawl 57 on a weighted lever 49 which drives the ratchet 50. The lever 49 is raised by the stud 47 on the wheel 46 and has a pin 81, which comes in contact with the cam 53, driven from the sprocket-wheel 77, on the shaft 48. The ratchet 50 and shaft 48 are therefore driven varying distances for each revolution of the wheel 46. The differential gearing for driving the shaft 28 at a speed equal to the difference between that of the bobbin 11, and flyer 57, consists of a shaft 25, Fig. 3, extending through the box 17 and carrying the pinions 21, 26, and a pulley 23, driven by gearing 22, 10, 9, from the flyer shaft 56. The pulley 23 has a sleeve 24, to which a pinion 18 is geared. The pulley 30, driven from the bobbin shaft 14 is secured to the box 17. The pinions 19, 20, carried on bearings in the box 17 gear with the pinions 18, 21, and with each other, the shaft 25 driving the shaft 28 and cross-screwed shaft 29, by which the bobbin 11 is traversed once for each layer of yarn wound thereon. To spin waste, the strap connecting the pulleys 9, 10, is removed. The flyer is prevented from turning more rapidly than the bobbin by a ratchet 88 on the bobbin shaft and pawl 89 on the flyer shaft. When the yarn slackens, a lever engages a controlling- lever 91 of the brake 63, which acts on a pulley 61 keyed on the flyer shaft and winding occurs, while on tightening the yarn twisting only occurs. For spinning tow, the bobbin is traversed by means of a disc 99, on the nut 100, on the crossthreaded screw 98. The nut and screw are driven from the bobbin and flyer shafts respectively, the nut being thus traversed with a velocity depending on the difference of their velocities.

Abstract: 9263. Forgrove Machinery Co., and Forbes, A. April 22. Parcelling confectionery &c.-In a machine for wrapping-up circular tablets, such as chocolate cakes, in tin foil &c., the tablet and the wrapper are pressed through a circular hole, so that the edges of the wrapper rise up round the tablet. The tablet is then carried round on the edge of a rotating table, and, at the same time, is rotated on its axis, in such a manner that the raised portion of the wrapper is closed in round the tablet by a stationary cam. Before being delivered from the machine, the tablets pass through a pair of rollers which complete the wrapping-process. The tablets are fed to the machine on an endless belt 30, Figs. 1 and 3, running over the pulley 31, which is driven from the shaft 9 by means of the belt 34. The tablets are pushed off the belt 30 on to the piece 23 by the sliding piece 25, which is reciprocated, against the action of the spring 26, by a pivoted lever 27 driven by the cam 29 on the main shaft 4. The wrappers are fed into the machine intermittently by the rollers 40, Fig. 5, which are supplied with wrappers by a feeding-apparatus, preferably of the type described in Specification No. 4336, A.D. 1902. The wrapper feeding-apparatus is driven from the shaft 45, Fig. 1. The foremost tablet, after passing beneath a spring-pressed pivoted guide, falls through the circular opening 24 and rests on the wrapper beneath it. The plunger 17, which is operated by the pivoted lever 18 driven from the cam 22, then descends and forces the tablet downwards through the opening 39 till it rests on the part 12 of the revolving table 7.
