Title: Improvements in or connected with Stamper Batteries, Drop Hammers and the like.
Inventor: TAYLOR ROBERT
Filed: 1904-03-14
Granted: 1904-06-16
Abstract: 6209. Taylor, R. March 14. Hammers, power.-A drop hammer is actuated by a lever mechanism comprising a rocking lever E<1> fulcrummed on a fixed horizontal shaft E, and oscillated by a crank G<1> and connecting-rod F from a crank shaft G. The end E<2> of each lever coming into contact with the removably-faced upper and lower tappets D on the stem B is formed with a cycloidal curve on both sides, so that the tappet faces will always be tangential to the curves, the tappets and stems being rotated simultaneously with the lifting action, while the lower lever face strikes the lower tappet on falling to accelerate its descent, and also rotates it in the same direction as before. The levers are oscillated sufficiently rapidly to obtain this throwing action, sufficient clearance being allowed between the upper and lower tappets. Two parallel rows may be so actuated, a pair of hammers, one from each row, being actuated by one lever with curved portions E<2> at each end, while the rod F is connected between the central fulcrum E and one end ; or the lever mechanism may actuate two adjacent hammers in the same row, if it be arranged in a plane perpendicular to the plane in which it is shown.

Patent GB-190419127-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Automatic Scales for Weighing Liquids.
Inventor: RICHARDSON HENRY
Filed: 1904-09-05
Granted: 1904-11-03
Abstract: 19,127. Richardson, H. Sept. 5. Liquid-weighers.-Relates to improvements in automatic-feed weighing-apparatus described in Specifications No. 6345, A.D. 1891, No. 18,690, A.D. 1894, and No. 4414, A.D. 1902. The liquid &c. to be weighed is fed through any suitable valve 22 into a tank 21, Fig. 1, and passes through a special valve 19 operated by the beam 13 into a hopper or tank 17 carried by the beam 13. The tanks 21, 17 are nearly of equal capacity. It is delivered from the tank 17 through another special valve 41, Fig. 9. The valve 19 comprises a perforated plug mounted in a case 20, provided with flanges 23 and with a drip-plate 24, the weight of which tends to close the valve. The valve 19 is held open normally by a telescopic rod 26, caused by a spring 26<a> to bear on a block 27 secured to the tank 17. When the tank 17 contains nearly the weight required, it falls slightly and allows the valve 19 to turn until nearly shut, its motion being limited then by a pin 33 sliding in a slot 34 formed in a link 30 pivoted to a link 29 mounted on a fixed pin so as to act as a toggle. The toggle is supported by a bent rod 35 connected to a lever 55 on the tank 17, and carrying a roller 36 resting on a roller 39 carried by a weighted three-armed lever 37 mounted on a fixed pin. As the tank 17 descends further, a pin 40 thereon trips the lever 37, releases the toggle, and allows the valve 19 to close completely. This movement also causes the lever 55 to raise a weighted arm 57 secured on a shaft 47, Fig. 9, carrying an arm 46 which, by means of a link 44, depresses a valve 41 from a seating 42 provided with outlets 43. A lever 50, provided with a hollow weignt 49, and connected by. a link 51 to the valve, assists in opening the valve when the tank 17 is full, and in closing it when the tank is empty. Secured to the underside of the valve 41 is a shallow pan 53 having a hole 51. This pan fills with liquid as the tank empties, and then holds the valve open until the pan empties, thereby allowing the tank to drain. When the pan empties, the valve 41 is closed by the weighted arms 50, 57, the arm 57 operating the lever 55 so as to open the valve 19 and re-set the toggle. The beam 13 is pivoted at 14 and provided with weights 15.

Filed: 1904-09-10
Granted: 1905-08-10
Abstract: 19,593. Wood, M. G. Sept. 10. Locks, key.-Relates to means for preventing picking of lever locks for drawers, doors, &c, of the type shown in Fig. 1, in which the projections d on the levers c lie within the recess f in the bolt b when the bolt is withdrawn. In one arrangement, a partition h is so placed that it prevents the use of a bent wire &c., inserted into the keyhole as indicated by dotted lines, to press back simultaneously the projections d against which the part e of the bolt rests when the bolt is in its shot position. Another device consists in serrating the piece e as shown in Fig. 7, the parts d of the levers c being stepped to correspond with the serrations. A projection corresponding to the partition h, Fig. 1, may be formed on any part of the lock-case or on the levers themselves.

Filed: 1904-12-29
Granted: 1905-12-29
Abstract: 28,661. Charlton, C. A., and Newstead, H. E. Dec. 29. Feeding sheets; platen presses.-Platen machines, in which the platen is normally stationary, are fitted with gripper feeding and delivery apparatus. The gripper consists of a bar 1, Fig. 2, attached to chains 2, Fig. 1, at opposite sides of the machine, provided with a stop 3 and fingers 4 adjustably mounted on a shaft 5 having bearings in the chain, and fitted with a lever 6 to open the fingers for the insertion and release of the paper, the fingers being normally held closed by springs. The lever 6 engages a cam-actuated lever 7 to operate the grippers. The chains, which may carry several gripper mechanisms, are carried by wheels 11, 12, 13 on both sides, the wheels 13 being attached to a shaft 15 carrying a loose toothed pinion 16 adapted to be rotated by a rack 17 which is reciprocated by the links and levers shown from a cam 19. Instead of the rack, a toothed segment may be used. The pinion 16, Figs. 4 and 5, revolves on the boss 24 of a chain-wheel 13, with which it is connected by a ratchet pawl 25 for forward driving. A spring pawl 26 holds the chain-wheel and grippers from backward movement during the return stroke of the rack, or a positively-actuated catch for the grippers may be employed. The wheels 13, 16 may be coupled for forward driving by a clutch or other convenient mechanism. Frisket irons 27, for holding the paper to the platen during printing, are adjustably attached to the cross-bars 28 attached to guided pins 29, and are held to the platen by springs and raised from it by two pairs of levers 30 pivoted on the standards and actuated by links from levers 33 on a rocking-shaft 34 oscillated by link and levers from a cam 35; or separate cams may be provided at each side of the machine. The sheets are fed forward from the table 39 through adjustable guides 40, and after being printed are carried forward to the delivery box 42, where they fall as the grippers move forward to the feeding position. The various parts of the. mechanism may be fitted with means for adjusting the length of their movements and the positions between which the movements take place.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Paper Pulp.
Inventor: VARANNES MARIUS EDOUARD LE NOR
Filed: 1905-01-10
Granted: 1906-01-10
Abstract: 505. Des Varannes, M. E. le N., and Vains, A. R. de. Jan. 10. Bleaching; washing.-The object is to reduce the number of metallic particles accidentally introduced into the pulp to be used for the m manufacture of photographic paper, and to remove the particles which are introduced. The torn rags are treated in a stuff-engine with hard steel blades, and the pulp so formed is refined without sizing, then passed over a long sand trap, which serves to retain the heavy metallic particles, and then formed into a thick paper in a half-stuff machine. The wet paper so formed is rolled up and introduced into hermetically-closed chests in which it is treated with gaseoua chlorine. The chlorine bleaches the pulp and converts the metallic particles into soluble chlorides. The pulp is then washed and diluted in a stone apparatus, provided with several washing-drums in order to hasten operations, until free from chlorine. Sizing next takes place in the stuff-engine, and the pulp is finally reduced in a stone beating-engine similar to the Thode refining-apparatus before being passed on to the paper-machine. In the paper-machine, the plates of the siphons should be of ebonite, and the rollers supporting the apron should be covered with ebonite ; the presses should be of stone and metal doctors should be omitted.
