Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 10,228. Armaturen-und Maschinenfabrik "Westfalia" Akt.-Ges. Aug. 23, 1909, [Convention date]. Fluid-actuated gears. - In compressed-air tools, rock drills, &c., having separate admission valves at the ends of the cylinder, which are operated by the compression caused by the working piston at the ends of its stroke, the fluid works expansively, and the valves, after the closure of the admission ports, are held in a closed position during the remainder of each stroke. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, auxiliary pistons b, d are arranged behind the lift valves a, c. The ends of the auxiliary cylinders are connected to the main cylinder by auxiliary ports in the manner shown. When the piston during its forward stroke passes the port i, the valve a is closed and held to its seat by the fluid pressure supplied to the upper surface of the piston b. When the piston passes the exhaust port m the valve is held to its seat by the fluid pressure from the other end of the main cylinder acting on its outer face. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the valve is made in three parts o<1>, o<2>, o<3>. The annular areas of the part o<2> are greater than the areas of the parts o<1>, o<3>. The outer chamber p is connected to the other end of the cylinder, and the ends r, q of the intermediate chamber are connected to the atmosphere and the cylinder respectively in the manner indicated.

Granted: 1911-10-05
Abstract: 25,482. Krummel, L. C. Nov. 2. Seaming.-In multiple double - seamers for seaming can-ends to bodies, the support that carries the chucks and seaming-rolls rotates about an horizontal axis, and has U-shaped recesses in its periphery into and out of which the cans fall freely at the feeding and discharge positions. The can ends and bodies slide down a shoot 10, built up of adjustable plates 12 ... 19, 22, 23, 24, Figs. 5 and 6, and are fed singly by means of pawls 31, 33 operated through the mechanism shown by the shields 30, which also support the foremost can till it falls into one of the recesses and on to a magnetic support 5. As the device is rotated by means of a toothed ring 60 driven by a gear 61<a> on the driving-shaft 62, plungers 6, Fig. 1, are advanced by a fixed cam 79 to press the can and end against the chuck 7 which is constantly rotated by gears 56, 123<a>, 125, 126. The support 5 is next withdrawn by a spring 5<a>, the bowl 48 passing on to the reduced portion of the cam 49, which is held stationary by the arm 115, Fig. 2. The curling and flattening rolls 8, 9 are then successively advanced by fixed cams 99 which act on bowls 98 carried by the frames 82, 95, these frames being pivoted at 96 and adjustably carrying the rolls 8, 9. The'rolls are then returned, the plunger 6 is withdrawn, and the can is stripped from the chuck by a rod 120 therein, which is pushed forward by engaging a fixed cam-surface 121, thus allowing the can to fall into the discharge shoot.

Granted: 1912-12-12
Abstract: 28,286. Reeves, E. A. Dec. 15. Watches combined with compasses.-An attachment to a time-piece to facilitate the determination of the north and south direction at night comprises an annular ring a attached to the rotatable bezel b and carrying a scale of dates around its circumference and also having on it the names of certain stars and index marks pointing to the dates at which the stars come to the meridian at mean noon. To use the time-piece to obtain the meridian direction, the ring a is turned until the date on which the observation is made is opposite the hour of twelve, and, in the case of a twelve-hour dial, the hour to which the index mark for a given visible star comes is doubled to give the time at which the star crossed the meridian. The indicator f on the ring a is set to this point and the line bisecting the angle between the radius to the indicator, and the hour-hand, when the latter is pointed to the star, is a north and south line. To facilitate the bisection, a separate indicator h is provided which can be set in alinement with the hour-hand c. The line h, f is then a north and south line. For greater accuracy, the watch &c. may be inclined at an angle equal to the co-latitude of the place on which the observation is made. The indicators f, h and the tip d of the hourhand are preferably luminous. The invention is also applicable to watches &c. having a twenty-four hour dial. In modified forms, the movable scales are arranged on a ring movable on the watch dial itself, or on a ring forming part of the dial and revolved by mechanism operated from the exterior of the watch &c.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Flattening Paper Bags after Manufacture.
IPC: B31B5/74
Filed: 1911-12-30
Granted: 1912-12-23
Abstract: 29,338. Dorman, J. E., and Dorman & Co., W. H. Dec. 30. Paper bags, making. -The invention consists of a machine for flattening square-bottomed paper bags after manufacture. The bag is delivered from the bagmaking machine by a reciprocating slide which pushes the bag bottom end first into a rectangular collapsible box. The box is formed by movable top and bottom plates b<14> and b<16>, Fig. 2, respectively, by fixed side plates, and by a movable end-plate c' against which the bottom of the bag comes to rest. When the bag is in the box the top and bottom plates are moved towards one another, as shown in Fig. 6, and horizontal side-folding plates c<11>, c<14> enter the box through slots in the side plates and fold in the sides of the bag. During this flattening operation. the bag is held by plates d<21>, d<23>, Fig. 2, which enter the mouth of the bag and grip its edges against the top and bottom plates. The vertical end plate e<5> against which the end of the bag rests, moves inwards as the bag is flattened, and is then turned about a central pivot e<10> into an horizontal position, the bag bottom being turned over also, as shown in Fig. 18. The bottom plate b<16> of the collapsing box is made in two portions, and when the plate e<5> has turned the bottom of the bag into an horizontal position, the rear portion f of the plate G<16> moves forward as shown in Fig. 19, and thrusts the bag between a pair of pressing rolls g, g<1>, which deliver the bag in a pressed and flattened condition. At the rear end of the top plate b<14> of the box, a plate h is hinged and normally stands vertically as shown in Fig. 2. When the end plate e<5> turns into the horizontal, the plate h is turned into the horizontal, as shown in Fig. 18, thus causing the bottom of the bag to lie flat and ensuring that it enters between the delivery rolls. In some cases it is necessary to turn the bag so that the side seam of the bag occurs in either of the flattened sides or of the pleated sides. An intermediate skeleton box is then used to receive the bag from the bag-making machine and raise it into position to be transferred to the collapsible box. In the form shown in Fig. 9, the skeleton box i<9> is mounted in a shell bearing i<8> which is reciprocated vertically from the receiving position to a position in front of the collapsible box. The box i<9> has a gear-ring which engages with a rack i<11>, by means of which the box may be rotated so that the bag is deposited in the collapsible box with the desired side uppermost. In another form, the shell bearing is attached to an oscillating arm, and the skeleton box is rotated either by means of a geared sector or by means of a link connecting the box with a fixed point of the machine.
