Title: Improvements in Presses for Baling Cotton and other Fibrous Materials.
Inventor: SHALLIS FREDERICK WALTER
Filed: 1905-11-17
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 23,682. Shallis, F. W. Nov. 17. Baling presses.-A baling- press for cotton or the like is provided with a travelling box in which the bale is formed by passing the box over one or more preliminary presses and a finishing-press. Fig. 1 shows the box a and preliminary presses d, g, and Fig. 2 shows the finishing - press. The box a, open at the top and bottom, is secured over the press d, and both are charged with the material. The top bolts b are then inserted, and the material is compressed into the box by the follower e ; the bottom bolts c are next inserted, and the box is released from catches x and moved over the second press g, previously charged, where the material is further compressed. The box a is then brought between the upper follower j, Fig. 2, and the hollow head l of the finishing-press, the bolts b, c are withdrawn, and the bale forced down into the chamber m and looked by bolts n actuated by hydraulic rams o. The final pressure is given by a follower q. The next bale may meanwhile be compressed in the hollow head l.

Title: Improvements in Manufacturing Wired Brushes and Brooms.
Inventor: KLEEMANN GEORG
Filed: 1906-02-14
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 3626. Kleemann, G. Feb. 14. Machines for making brushes in which the bristles are secured by a continuous wire. The stock is held against the point q by a bundle carrier k, which is carried by a cam-actuated slide m. The wire is led from a drum g to a clamping- device e on the end of a lever e<1> and over a pulley f and the pulley d on a lever d<1> to the brush stock, where the free end is secured. A loop of the wire is carried through a perforation in the stock, and through the bundle carrier k, by a needle a, and is delivered to devices n<1>, n<2>. These open the loop for the reception of a bundle of bristles, which is cut off by a separator of the usual kind and conducted to the bundle carrier k by a guide. The bell-crank lever d' is then actuated and the pulley d engages the wire. At the same time, the wire is gripped by the clamp e and the lever e<1> is moved downwards so that together they take up the slack wire and pull the bundle into position. The jaws n<1>, n<2> are pivoted at m<1>, on a slide m, and are actuated by pins n<3>, n', which slide in grooves in a fixed plate by the side, so that as the jaws are moved towards the bundle carrier they are opened and the wire loop is spread. The wire is gripped by pivoted pins o<1>, o<2>, and these are actuated by a cam on the fixed plate. The pulley h, round which the wire is bent when the lever d' takes up the slack, is slidingly mounted and is removed from the line of the needle by a cam lever when the needle is moved forward. The pin i is similarly mounted and is moved sideways to deflect the rear part of the wire loop from the needle.

Title: Improvements in Micrometer Gauges.
Inventor: HIRTH CARL ALBERT
Filed: 1907-04-20
Granted: 1907-10-17
Abstract: 9247. Hirth, C. A. April 20. Micrometer gauges.-A lever micrometer has the contact-pin m, Fig. 1, provided with a knife-edge h engaging a transverse groove in the lever a, the fulcrum g being a point on a screw l adjustable for zeroizing. Lateral rocking is prevented by the fit of the screw l in the deep groove o and by a pair of lugs or screws p, Fig. 2. To avoid weakening of the lever, the central portion of the knife-edge h may be recessed as shown in Fig. 2, and a rib formed on the lever. The sensibility may be varied by employing different seatings i for the screw l. A base-plate z is fitted to the casing d and has stops r, s for the tested articles, and a pin t is provided on the contact-piece m to limit the travel. In a modification, a second knife-edge is employed instead of a point, and is carried on a slide j, Fig. 3, and bears in a notched block u, sliding in the lever a, in the grooved cheeks of which bears the knifeedge h, the latter being recessed as shown in Fig. 3<a> to give play to the block u. The sensibility is varied by means of a screw w, the knife-edges both bearing on a block u on the lever. The block u may be adjusted by a screw y, Fig. 4, in the lever a, the knife-edge x being rotably mounted on the block i as shown. For measuring articles of different sizes, the pointer arm e, Fig. 6, is mounted at right-angles to the lever a and the casing can be moved into position in the split jaw 1 of the plate z, and is clamped by the screw 2, zeroizing of the pointer being effected by means of a screw 3 working in a projection 4 of the casing d and shouldered to bear against the plate z, a spring 5 being fitted between the projection 4 and the jaw z. A second stop r is fitted, mounted in a sliding piece 8, with a clamping-screw.

Granted: 1908-04-23
Abstract: 14,493. Brown, B. K., and Brown, T. June 24. Kinematographs.-Reduced kinematograph pictures are formed by photographing with a microscopeon a sensitive structureless emulsion successive pictures of an ordinary kinematograph film. The pictures are taken on a sensitized disk to which motion is imparted so that they are either in spiral form or in concentric rings. The apparatus used is shown in Fig. 1. Rotary motion is imparted to the shaft 1 which through the gearing shown causes a crank 6 to move. the kinematograph film 7 intermittently past the lens of the projecting-apparatus 8. The shaft 11, in which is a slot 12, is also caused to rotate, and by means of a pin 16 on the boss 14 slidingly keyed to it causes intermittent rotation of the Maltese cross 17, which imparts motion to the shaft 20 carrying the sensitized plate 21 and also, through the gearing shown, to the carriage 23 on which it is mounted. By this means, the disk 21 is given an intermittent motion of rotation and translation, and this motion is caused to take place during the motion of the film 7. The pictures are taken by the microscope 22. Apparatus which may be used for viewing the pictures is shown in Fig. 4 and is similar to the apparatus described above, excepting that the microscope 41 is given a longitudinal motion and the disk 21 only a rotary motion.

Abstract: 9345. Baillot, A., and Paris, J. Dec. 7, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Moulding.-In moulding articles of convex shape, with projecting lugs such as shown in Fig. 10, the flasks are planed on their edges and are assembled on an horizontal core-plate, the separation of the flasks being in an horizontal plane ; the core-plate has bevelled recesses in which the cores rest, the cores and vents being formed on the plate in a hinged-abutment compression machine. The halfpatterns 6 are mounted on a pattern plate 3, Fig. 1, and the sand is first compressed by a shaped plunger 17, the stripping-plate 9 being provided with projecting portions to form the runners. The core-making machine.has a table on which the core-plate 42 is placed, registering-pins 46 serving as gauges. A two-part core-box 48 is placed over the core-plate, and sand is then dropped through the top of the core-box and fills up the space above the compression plungers, the hinged cross-head 28 having previously been moved about pivots 24 to the inoperative position. The cross-head is then moved back, and the pressure-plate 28 is screwed down on to the core-box, whereupon the plungers compress the sand into the core-box, spikes 41 compacting the sand and forming vents. The core-plate with the cores secured in bevel recesses 44 is then lifted out of the machine, and the two flasks 14, Fig. 8, are assembled on the core-plate, assembling portions being provided on the mould to accommodate core-prints 54. The invention is particularly applicable to the manufacture of pans, pots, saucepans, overflow reservoirs, water-closets, and parts of automobiles.
