Patent GB-190818968-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Brick-making Machinery.
Inventor: ABRAM SAMUEL
Filed: 1908-09-09
Granted: 1909-09-09
Abstract: 18,968. Abram, S. Sept. 9. Moulding bricks.-Relates to a combined moulding and pressing machine in which the brick is automatically transferred from the moulding to the pressing apparatus. The machine comprises a stationary forming- mould 3 and two finishing-presses 22, 29. Clay passing from a hopper 1 into the mould 3 is pressed into a slot by a plunger 2, after which the door 6 is raised and the clot pushed out by means of a spring-retained plunger 13, which is operated by a crank 20 acting through a rod 19, ratchet device 43, toothed quadrant 16, and rack 14. The succeeeding clot pushes the preceding one beneath the plunger 23 of the first press 22, which is operated through toggles 27, 28 by a cam 24 and a rod 26. After leaving the press 22, the brick comes into the path of a cam-operated pusher 32 rocking about a pin 33<a> and is moved laterally into the path of a second pusher 37 which transfers it to the second press 29. The presses 22, 29 are provided with lower spring- supported dies 38, 39 to impart bottom pressure.

Title: Braking Device for Doors
Inventor: VOGEL WILHELM
Filed: 1908-11-24
Granted: 1909-03-25
Abstract: 25,284. Vogel, W., and Vogel, G. Nov. 24. Door checks.-A braking-device for doors comprises two checking-cylinders placed one on each side of the door and constructed so that one of them is operated by a catch on the door when it is opened in either direction. Two cylinders a, a', Fig. 1, are fixed to the door-post and in their upper ends are revolubly mounted nuts d, which are grooved at o to receive the catches p, p<1> mounted on the door. Vertical movement of the nuts is prevented by clamping-rings e which have pins f engaging horizontal slots in the cylinder. The nut is internally screwed to receive the rod c of the piston b, which is prevented from rotating by the feather k. The piston has a valve m, and the braking-liquid is passed into the cylinder through a channel g which is closed by the threaded rod i. If the door is opened in either direction, one of the catches p, p<1> engages with the corresponding nut d, which it rotates, thus raising the piston and forcing the liquid to its underside. When the door commences to close, the liquid is forced back to the upper side of the piston through the narrow passage connecting the channel g and the cylinder. In the modification shown in Fig. 9, the nut d' is placed on a fixed screwed stopper s', and is bored centrally to receive a quick-threaded screw p', which works through the piston k'. In a central boring of the screw p' is placed a tube o', the upper end of which is screwed and the lower end of which extends beyond the bottom of the piston k' so that liquid can not escape along it. A non-return valve m' and outflow openings, which can be more or less obturated, are provided. The piston k' is prevented from rotating by feathers l'. In some cases the groove o of the nut may be made deep so that its bottom edge is below the top of the cylinder. In this case the free end of the catch is made with a narrow projection at its underside. The catch and groove may be of wedge-shaped section.

Title: Improvements in Packeting Machines.
Inventor: POLLARD EDWARD THOMAS
Filed: 1908-12-01
Granted: 1910-01-03
Abstract: 25,925. Pollard, E. T. Dec. 1. Packeting.-Relates to a packeting-machine in which wrappers are folded round the lower parts of hoppers or funnels carried by supports on a rotary mould ring. The funnels are lifted from the mould ring and conveyed by chains to the commencement of their travel. On the completion of the side and bottom folding operations, a plunger 119, then in a vertical position, rests on the material and prevents it from being drawn out, hooks 126 at this time engaging with the trunnions 126 on the funnel. The slide 122 on which the hooks are mounted rises and guides 135 cause the funnel and hooks to tilt outwards as shown. When the hooks engage a stop 128, the funnel is disengaged and falls on to a travelling chain 136 and is conveyed to disks 143 with notches 144 in which the trunnions engage, and a guide 145 causes the funnel to be again deposited in front of the plunger 77. A rod 147 prevents oscillation of the funnels. Improvements in measuring, folding, wrapper delivering, and pasting mechanism, forming the subjectmatter of Specifications Nos. 27,671, 27,915, 27,916, and 29,599, A.D. 1909, respectively, are also described.

Clutches.-Relates to ball claw clutches similar to those described in Specifications 15,006/07 and 25,506/07, but in which the clutching action may be varied from zero up to a positive drive. Balls E, F, Fig. 1, are carried by a carrier C connected to a movable shell D by springs G. The balls F always engage grooves b<1> in a collar b<2> secured to one shaft B. The balls. E may be moved into engagement with grooves between tapered ridges a<1> on a collar a<2> on the shaft A, the ridges being so arranged that, as the shell D is advanced, the carrier C is pressed out more and more against the springs G until the carrier C finally engages the shell D and the drive becomes positive. In the form shown in Fig. 4 balls M carried by the part K engage taper ridges on the part H, the end of which is bevelled to engage balls L during full drive, the other end of part H being then pressed into engagement with the collar J.
