Title: An Improved Device for Gas Burners and the like for Preventing the Escape of Unburnt Gas.
Inventor: HUTTENLOCHER FRIEDRICH
IPC: F23N5/06
Filed: 1911-11-16
Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 25,576. Huttenlocher, F. July 20, [Convention date]. [Addition to 18,364/11.] Valves controlled from a distance. - The thermostatic device described in the parent Specification is arranged to control the movable member through the medium of air enclosed in the apparatus. Gas entering the inlet passes up the tubes 38, 39 and forces the liquid carried by the outer annular edge of the float member 44 through an opening 63 into the main chamber 31. Gas also passes through the centre of the float member to the burner through a tube 40, openings 42, and the under edge of the fixed bell 43, in the manner shown in Fig. 2. As the float is gradually raised by the gas pressure, the escape of gas to the burner will be cut off after a short interval; this is delayed, however, because part of the liquid in the annular space 64 can escape through apertures 49 into the tank 31. If now the gas issuing to the burner is ignited, the thermostatic device 56 expands and the liquid contained therein raises the level of the liquid in the tube 54 until an outlet 50 is sealed. This cuts off the escape of air from the tanks 31, 32 and prevents a further rise of the member 44, the supply of gas to the burner being thus maintained. If the gas is not ignited, the float member rises into a position to cut off the burner, as the thermostatic device does not enter into operation. A ring 60 with a handle 59 is provided for resetting the float when it rises into this position. In further arrangements, the liquid in the outer annular chamber of the float, and the escape port 63 therefor are dispensed with. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 10, the float 70 rises and falls with the level of the liquid in the chamber 31. With an increase of pressure, the gas is forced underneath a partition into the chamber 32 and the float sinks until the bell 71 seals the passage to the burner. A thermostatic device 56 is provided to prevent this, as described in connexion with the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, when the gas is ignited in time. To re-set the apparatus, a dome 84 is lifted above the level of the liquid contained in the chamber 31 by means of a handle 87.

Title: Improvements in Foundry Moulding Machines.
IPC: B22C17/10
Filed: 1912-09-16
Granted: 1913-08-14
Abstract: 21,019. Oddy, W. D., and Richmond & Sons, H. Sept. 16. Moulding-machines of the intermittently-rotating-table type have special sand supplying and compressing, pattern carrying, and table-actuating means. Flasks are rammed, to form part of a multiple mould, with counterpart impressions on the opposite faces. Pattern-plates e, Fig. 2, are supported on slides by rollers f and a cam-rack g. An empty flask j is placed in position over an opening d of the table at position I, Fig. 1. The table is intermittently rotated by a crown-ring 1 driven by a main pinion and carrying a crown-ring 5 with alternate toothed and plain portions, in driving relation with a pinion 6 on a countershaft geared to a second shaft bevel geared to the table. The track g raises the platen plate level with the table, and sand is supplied from a circular or annular container situated above the who'e machine by a shoot terminating in a reciprocating grid n. In a modification, arms or scrapers carried by the table pass through a slot in the bottom of the shoot. The sand is compressed either by a roller s which may be weighted or spring-pressed or by a row of stampers or by a press plate which may be roughly shaped to correspond to the pattern plate. Further sand is supplied at III to be rammed at D by a press head sliding in guides 18 and connected by rods 17 to crank-disks driven from the teeth 5 during the period of rest of the table. In a modification, hydraulic presses controlled by tappets on the wheel 5 are employed. Further sand is supplied at IV, to fill the flask, is levelled by a roller or scraper v and is finally rammed by a press at A similar to the press at D but carrying the pattern plate for the other mould part. Fig. 5 shows a flask thus rammed, the dotted lines indicating the several stages of sand filling and compression. The number of stages may be increased, and by employing a larger table a flask may be moulded in a half or other fraction of a revolution. After leaving the press at A, the track g allows the pattern plate to sink. The finished mould is removed during this portion of the cycle. During the action of the presses, the pattern plates are supported solidly at h, i. Patterns.-The pattern plate is cleaned, while lowered, by a brush w driven by a pinion y and gear segments x on the table.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Positioning, Adjusting or Centering Mechanism for Type Casting or Type Casting and Composing Machines.
IPC: B41B7/04

Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 25,114. Lanston Monotype Corporation, [Bancroft, J. S., and Indahl, M. C.]. Nov. 2. Single-type composing and casting machines. -In the die - case positioning and mouldadjusting mechanism of machines of the kind described in Specification 8633/99, the two pairs of jaws comprised in each positioning-mechanism are replaced by a single pair of jaws which close upon a controller or gauge positioned directly by the record-strip. The jaws 10, Fig. 2, which engage the translating-member of the die-case or other performing - member, are pivoted to levers 12 of which the opposite ends are connected by a link. One of the levers is connected to the machine frame and the other to the usual actuator. The jaws have extensions 20, .between which is located a fixed abutment or datum member 21. On each side of the member 21 is ranged a series of gauges 22, 23, 24, 25, the lengths of the gauges in each series being in the proportion of one, two, four, and eight units. The gauges are carried by arms which can slide without rotation on shafts 31 so that they can be rocked into and out of the path of the jaw - extensions 20, and corresponding gauges of each series are connected together in pairs so that one of each pair is always in operative position. The gauges are operated by four pistons connected one to each shaft 31, air being admitted to the pistons by perforations in the record-strip. Four of the gauges, forming an interponent of constant length, are thus always in position between the jaw-extensions 20, but the position of the interponent and consequently the closed position of the jaws varies according to the arrangement of the gauges on one or the other side of the datum member 21. Sixteen different positions of adjustment can thus be obtained by the use of four lines of perforations in the record-strip, the perforations forming each signal varying both in number and in position. In a modification, the interponent is formed by two movable members, one of which consists of a stepped series of gauges 51, Fig. 14, four units apart, mounted on a plate 50 which can slide in guides 52, the plate being adjusted to bring any gauge between the jaws by pistons 54, 55 and a lever 56. The second member consists of gauges 61, Fig. 15, one unit apart, mounted on a plate 60 which slides in a frame 65 and is connected to the die-case. The frame 65 slides in guides 65<Î> and is adjusted by two pistons to bring any one of the gauges between the jaws. The two series of gauges are superposed and the jaws close on one member of each series. The plate 60 is thereby moved in the frame 65 until the two gauges coincide. By the operation of one or more of the four pistons, sixteen different positions are obtained. Specification 27,278/04 is also referred to.
