Patent GB-191009348-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Tamping Machines, especially applicable for Tamping Concrete into Molds for Form Building Blocks or the like.
Inventor: BRANDELL CLAUS OTTO
IPC: B28B1/04
Filed: 1910-04-18
Granted: 1910-07-21
Abstract: 9348. Brandell, C. O. April 18. Tamping-machines, having a number of vertically movable stamps with projecting portions engaging with lifting-devices, are provided with catches arranged in groups, each of which is controlled by a lever, whereby any desired group of stamps can be rendered operative or inoperative, and with means for moving the engaging portions of the stamps out of the paths of the lifting - devices. The stamps 10 &c. are arranged in pairs, and are provided with yokes 16 having shoulders 17, 18 which are respectively engaged by catches 28 and by projecting studs 26 on endless chains 25 gearing with chain-wheels 22 operated by the belt pulley 23. The catches 28 are loosely mounted on an eccentrically mounted shaft 29, are weighted at their lower ends so as normally to tend to swing the upper ends of the catches away from the shoulders 17, and are forced inwards to engage with the shoulders 17 by springs 41 arranged on two shafts 39, 40, operated by levers 43, 42. By operating one or the other or both of these levers, some or all of the stamps are rendered operative. The projecting portions 18 of the stamps are lifted out of the path of the lifters 26, so as to obviate noise, by operating the shaft 29 by means of a lever 37. The shaft 39 is eccentrically mounted in collars 30, 31 journaled in bearings 32, and the collar 31 is provided with teeth 33 which mesh with a toothed sector 34 operated by the lever 37. In the manufacture of concrete blocks, the bottom layer is first tamped in the mould by using all the stamps, cores are then inserted, and the stamps 11 and 13 beld inoperative by actuating the lever 42, while the stamps 10, 12, 14 compact the concrete around the cores to form the walls of the block, and finally the stamps 11 and 13 are again brought into operation to tamp the top layer of the block. When the block is finished, the levers 42, 43 are first operated to prevent the stamps from falling, and the lever 37 is then operated to lift the yokes 16 on the stamps out of the paths of the lifters.

Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 11,431. Eves, R. V. June 17, 1909. Yarns and threads, stretching, softening, and polishing; hanks, treating.-Hanks are twisted into kinks between a longitudinally movable hook and a rotatable hook operated by hand. The hooks B, C are carried by standards the distance apart of which is adjusted by means of struts O and pins O<1>, according to the Provisional Specification, or, by a right and left handed screw coupling or by a screwed rod. The hook C is moved longitudinally by means of a nut G which is operated by a chain g<1> in one direction by means of a treadle N and in the other by means of a weight W. Ratchet teeth and pawls are provided for preventing the rotation of the nut G in one direction and the withdrawal of the hook C. Both pawls are released simultaneously when it is desired to adjust the hook C. Both the rotary hook B and the nut G are provided with ball bearings to diminish friction.

Title: Improvements connected with the Pumps of Type Casting Machines.
Inventor: STUBBS GEORGE OLIVER JAMES
IPC: B41B7/04
Filed: 1910-08-19
Granted: 1911-08-17
Abstract: 19,489. Stubbs, G. C. J. Aug. 19. Pumps for molten metals.-In the pumps of single-type composing and casting machines, the drawback of the metal from the nozzle during the intake stroke of the piston is varied by dispensing with the usual vent in the valve in the outlet and providing a by-pass connecting the outlet and inlet and having a regulating-tap. The by-pass d may communicate with the inlet h through the plug f of the inlet-regulating tap at a point below a non-return valve g, which prevents leak back during the outward stroke of the piston, as described in Specification 11,902 /10. The holes in the plug f, which control the inlet and by-pass, are placed out of line, so that as one is opened the other closes, and the plug is fitted with an arm f<1>, adjustable by means of set-screws f<2>.

Granted: 1910-12-08
Abstract: 23,540. Robbens, G., and Curtis, T. Oct. 11. Ship &c. closets; flushing; seat lids; valvedischarge water-waste preventers.-Relates to closets of the type in which the basin is discharged by forcing air into the upper part, the cover being closed air-tight. By means of a valve i a pressure flush-tank e is connected by way of pipes h, h<1> to a cylinder k, the pistons l in which are forced up by the water. The air in the upper part k<1> is thereupon forced along a pipe n into the basin-expelling the soil through an outlet normally closed by a float valve r. The valve i is then turned to connect the cylinder k with the basin, so that water below the lower piston is forced into the basin in a flush by a spring m. If desired, the tank c may be dispensed with and the pump operated by a hand-lever t. In the case of a house closet, an air-tight cover is the only modification required, or a valved air-pipe may be led from the upper part of a closed flushing-cistern to the flush-pipe. When the valve is opened, the air compressed in the cistern will expel the contents of the basin. The cover c may be held down by the handle i<1> of the valve i. A rotary or other pump g may be used to supply the tank e.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Road Dust Collectors.
Inventor: CATCHPOLE SEPTIMUS
IPC: E01H1/08

Granted: 1911-10-05
Abstract: 25,003. Catchpole, S. Oct. 27. Sweeping-machines.- Consists in the following details of construction of apparatus of the kind in which dust is swept away from roads and drawn by air suction into receptacles. The rotary brushes are disposed at an angle, with their inner ends in contact or overlapping. The outer ends of the spindles are journaled in bushes c carried by supports e furnished with adjusting-blocks bored to receive spindles k, by which they are moved within plates g carried on blocks secured to the frame i. Collars on the spindles resting on guideblocks allow the brushes to pass over obstructions, and the height of the brushes from the ground may be adjusted by the spindles. A bulb bush in which the inner ends of the brushes are journaled is attached to a stem m adjustably screwed to a spindle n, a collar on which rests on a supporting-bridge beneath the framing; a guide-pillar passes within the stem m. The brushes may be simultaneously lifted by coupled levers r acting on collars on the spindles. The brushes are driven through gearing from mitre-wheels mounted by feather-andslot means on the supporting or driving wheels, and may be thrown out of gear by striking- levers. A trailing-wheel 13 with an adjustable spring supports the apparatus at the rear. The dust thrown up is caught in an inverted trough casing which encloses the brushes and conforms to their position. A fan or pump 11 driven from one of the axles extracts the dusty air and passes it into a receptacle mounted on the platform of a wagon. The receptacle shown contains a filtering-compartment with a screen, and a partitioned separating-compartment containing water or disinfecting fluid, the dustfree air escaping at an exhaust 25. The filtering-compartment may be omitted. Dust and mud doors may be provided, and the bottom of the separating-chamber may be constructed as shown.

Abstract: 23,063. Eichelkraut, W. Dec. 9, 1910. Payment apertures, controlling access to.- Access to cashiers' and like payment apertures is obtained through a door which can only be opened when the cashier's window is closed, and is locked while the window is open. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the door 3 giving access to the payment window 1 is connected by rods &c. 14, 15, 19 with a bolt 20 which locks the window when the door is open. When the door is shut and the window is slid open, a strip 12 on the window operates a bell-crank lever 10, and connexions 9, 7, 8, 6 so as to actuate a bolt 5 to lock the door. In a modification, instead of the locking-arrangement 14, 15, 19, 20, a catch-lever may be provided to hold the bolt 5 in the withdrawn position when the door is open, thus preventing movement of the lever 10 and, therefore, of the window. The bolt is released when the door-latch engages the catchlever. In the electrically-operated modification shown in Fig. 4, the closing of the door completes circuit at 30 so as to energize a solenoid 25 and withdraw a bolt 24 from the window. The opening of the window closes, by means of the strip 12, the circuit of a solenoid 33, which thereupon actuates the bolt 5 to lock the door.
