Abstract: 9032. Jenner, A. L., and Jenner, C. H., [trading as Jenner, A. & C.]. April 11. Openers.-Relates to apparatus for opening, straightening, and drying " lyxhayr " (artificial horsehair) and similar fibres. The tangled and wet fibre is fed into a hopper 3 at one end of a U-shaped chamber 1 in which rotates a hollow perforated and toothed cylinder 8 and a teasing- roller 11. The roller 11 rotates at a high speed and is set with its spindle at the outlet end of the machine, slightly nearer the centre-line of the cylinder. The ends of the cylinder are preferably open and in close proximity to the ends of the chamber 1, so as to be virtually closed by the latter, and the end at the outlet end of the machine is open to a hot-air inlet 14; the air passing through the perforations of the cylinder dries the fibre, which is opened and straightened by the cylinder and teasing-roller, and, in escaping through the perforations and returning to the air outlet 7, the air carries the fibre towards the outlet door 6; this feeding action is assisted by the setting of the teasing- roller, the bearings of which are adjustable on on the ends of the chamber 1. The treated fibre may also be discharged through doors 5. The teeth 9 of the cylinder are preferably raised from the surface thereof, thus forming the perforations 10 and the roller 11 is formed by mounting a series of bands 12, with teeth 13 along their edges, upon a plain roller.

Title: Improvements in Presses for Moulding Plastic Materials.
Inventor: PENKALA LADISLAS
IPC: B30B11/00
Filed: 1911-05-09
Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 17,789. Penkala, L. May 26, 1910, [Convention date]. Cylinder machines ; reciprocating - mouldtable machines; rotarymould-table machines.- In presses for moulding plastic materials in which a conoidal feedscrew, such as is described in Specification 11,208/11, is employed, the pressure is regulated by means of a counterweight, spring, or hydraulic device acting upon the mould piston, and is limited by maintaining the mould against the mouth of the screw press b y springs, counterweights, &c. Fig. 1 shows the application to a cylinder machine in which the mould drum d<3> i s mounted in pivoted supports k and is maintained against the screw-press by springs j<3>. The mould pistons are fitted with rollers d<7>, which, in the filling position, bear against the shoulder l<3> of a member l<2> connected to levers l, l<1>, which are pivoted to the supports k and are under the influence of a counterweight l<6>. As the mould is filled, the member l<2> is deflected and a shoulder l<4> thereon acts upon the opposite piston to discharge a previously-moulded briqette. The briquette in the mould being filled is severed by a sudden rotational movement of the drum d<3> which is effected by a counterweight n attached to a sector n<3> pivoted on the drum axle; a rod o pivoted to the sector is provided with pins o<2>, o<7> bearing upon springs o<1>, o<6>, which also bear against a pivoted arm o<3> provided with a claw o' adapted to engage with the pins o<5> of the drum. As the lever l moves backward during the filling of the mould, an adjustable stop attached thereto impinges against an arm n<9> of a detent n<8> and releases the sector n<3> causing the rotation of the drum. The counterweight is in two parts n, n<1>, the part n engaging with stops p after the severance of the briquette so that the drum is rotated only by the weight n<1>. The sector n<3> is restored by means of a coupling n<6> which is thrown into action by the lever l acting upon a stop n<14> and winds up the cable attached to the sector until the detent n<8> again engages with the sector, after which the coupling is thrown out of action by a stop n<11> on the cable deflecting the lever n<12>. Fig. 3 shows the application to a rotarymould-table machine in which material entering the lowermost mould forces back a piston against the action of a counterweight l<6> and also discharges the opposite mould through a lever l, l<1>. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the application of similar devices to reciprocating-mould-table machines; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
