Title: Improvements in Machines for Bending Metal Strips Edgewise.
Inventor: DUNN GANO SILLICK
Filed: 1906-11-19
Granted: 1907-04-25
Abstract: 26,193. Dunn, G. S. Nov. 19. Bending; lathes.-Narrow strips of copper are coiled on edge by the apparatus shown, springing back of the coils after leaving the mandrel being allowed for by using a circular mandrel of a diameter slightly less than that of the interior of the finished coil, or by having a non-circular mandrel in two parts A, A', pivoted together at o and separately connected by pins< >p, p<1> to a lathe face-plate or the like. The curves of the mandrel total rather more than 360 degrees, the parts A, A' moving about the pins p, p<1> to an extent determined by the slots q to bring the flat bits of each part in line on the laying-on side of the mandrel. The mandrel has a flange B, against which the strip is pressed by a clamp C. Between the sides of the clamp C are pivoted two shoes E, D engaging the strip at opposite sides of the point of bending, the shoe D being prevented from forcing the strip quite up to the mandrel by a roller d and the cam-edge of the flange B. The clamp'is pivoted at f to a weighted lever F. The strip leaves a reel R at a point y which is in line with the axis of the arc described by the end x of the guide L carried by the clamp C. The strip is caused to be gripped by the mandrel by a rotary clamp G carried by a weighted lever I, one disk of the clamp and also one side of the clamp C being resiliently pressed against the back of the flange B. The relative movement of the two parts of the mandrel may be assisted by a brake-acting on the lower part. The coil is received on lantern reel S.

Title: Improvements in Fluid Pumps and Motor Engines for use in Fluid Circulation for Power Transmission and other purposes
Inventor: HARDY GEORGE HURLSTONE
Filed: 1906-12-27
Granted: 1907-08-15
Abstract: 29,511. Hardy, G. H. Dec. 27. Disk engines; movable-abutment type with axiallysliding abutments. Relates to rotary engines and pumps employing a skew disk, the main feature of the invention consisting of the special curvature of the disk. The disk, Fig. 1, is formed so that its outside edges form true ellipses inclined to the shaft, while the sides of the disk are everywhere perpendicular to the shaft. The disk may be applied to a casing, such as that shown in Fig. 3, formed with end pieces e<1>, e<2>, the sides of which are shaped similarly to the disk. The distance between the pieces e<1>, e' at the bottom is just sufficient to accommodate the disk. As the disk rotates, it is caused by its own obliquity to oscillate between the upper parts of the pieces e<1>, e<2>. The shaft s attached to the disk oscillates longitudinally, and is therefore connected to the driving-shaft by a eliding pin-and-slot joint, as shown. Suitable ports are provided in the casing. The disk may be made stationary and the cylinder revoluble. In a modification suitable for use as an engine, the disk V, Fig. 4, is used in a cylindrical casing, and axially-sliding abutments h<1>, h<2> are provided. The abutments are connected to sleeves embracing the shaft and acting as cams against the disk. In another modification, a channel connects the chambers on each side of the disk so that the fluid passes successively through both chambers. In the modification shown in Fig. 9, there are three piston disks V<1>, V<2>, V<3> working in separate chambers. The axially-sliding abutment is secured to two non-revoluble disks g', g<2> which are reciprocated by the piston disks V<1>, V<3>, whereby the abutment is reciprocated. Each side of the disk shown in Fig. 1 has one "nose" a<1>, but when required multiple "noses" may be formed. Specifications No. 1087, A.D. 1882, No. 3213, A.D. 1890, No. 13,992, A.D. 1899 ; and No. 20,819, A.D. 1905, and No. 28,060, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Air and gases, Compressing &c.], are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Magnetic Separators.
Inventor: HOLLIDGE WILLIAM JAMES
Filed: 1907-01-12
Granted: 1908-01-11
Abstract: 899. Hollidge, W. J. Jan. 12. Magnatic separators.-Relates to apparatus for separating magnetic from non-magnetic material in which the material is conveyed by one or more endless bands through or across a gap in a magnetic circuit which, or part of which, is continually movable and displaces the magnetic material to one side of the endless band. The liberation of the magnetic material is ensured by the magnetic circuit being modified in form, or influenced by extraneous magnetism, or both modified and influenced extraneously, at the required parts. In one form, the separator consists of two mushroomshaped cores e,f, Figs. 2 and 3, arranged to rotate on a central spindle b. A stationary insulating- plate c is arranged on each side of the central spindle, and in the air-gap between the cores e, f, the plates being sometimes adapted to guide the belts a upon which the material to be treated is carried through the gap. A segmental pole-piece ,g is arranged in each plate c to reduce the air.gap to the desired size. The polar extremity of the upper core part may be of \/-section, and may be protected by a non-magnetic shield h. The lower core part may be stationary, the polar projections g then forming part of the lower core part. The insulating-plate is then also made in one piece, and is cut away between the pole to form spaces c<1>, Fig. 7, so that one or more shoots may be fitted to receive the magnetic particles liberated from the upper pole-piece on account of the increased air gap at such parts. The lower core part, when stationary, may also be shaped differently from the upper rotating part. as shown in Fig. 7. A travelling band or stationary scraper may be employed as a subsidiary device for removing the magnetic particles from the upper core part. When varying the strength of the field in the air-gap magnetically, a bar electro-magnet may be arranged end on, or radially with respect to the lower edge of the upper pole-piece, so as to divert the magnetic flux from the air-gap.

Title: Improvements in Gas Compressing or Forcing Apparatus.
Inventor: TEE HARRY
Filed: 1908-05-06
Granted: 1909-05-06
Abstract: 9823. Tee, H., and Adams, F. E. May 6. Partitioned chamber revolving in liquid.-A rotary gas compressor or forcer in which the gas is compressed to a comparatively small pressure, such as is required in burners for heating and lighting, comprises a hollow cylindrical drum with compartments formed by radial partitions, in which the gas is trapped and forced by the rotation under the level of the water in which the drum partly rotates. The gas is collected in an immersed vessel and delivered to a container. Figs. 1 and 2 show sectional views taken in perpendicular vertical planes. The drum 2 is divided by radial partitions extending between the inner and outer cylindrical walls. The end walls 15, 19 completely enclose the drum, and an inner wall 16 provides a supply chamber in which the supply pipe 13 projects, leading the gas from the inlet 23 through the conduit 12, pipe 13, and radial openings 4 into the compartments 3 of the drum. Axial slot openings 5 also connect with the openings 3, and when the gas in a compartment has been trapped and lowered by the rotation of the drum below the surface of the water, it escapes through the openings 5 into the fixed concentric vessel 6, and then passes by a conduit 7 into a chamber 8 and a vessel 10, and from thence by a pipe 11 to a bell 29. If the drum is rotated by ordinary mechanical means, the gas will be supplied in excess by rotation of the drum, and the surplus escapes from the vessel 6 and passes up through the water into the chamber 14, and so into the compartments 3 of the drum again. The drum may, however, be driven by a water motor 28, from which the water may be automatically shut off to stop the motor when the supply of gas in the bell 29 exceeds a predetermined amount. A cock 33, Fig. 3, in the supply pipe of the water motor may be controlled by two springs 34 and levers 31, 32, from the bell 29. The springs 34 are adjusted so that the cock 33 is not moved until it is entirely shut or opened.
