Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for the Moulding of Bricks Tiles Pipes and other Plastic Substances.
Inventor: HENDERSON GUY CHRISTOPHER CONW
Filed: 1907-08-30
Granted: 1907-11-21
Abstract: 19,438. Henderson, G. C. C. Aug. 30. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Moulding bricks, tiles, pipes, &c.-Relates to a valve-gear for steam extrusion presses by means of which the same steam that is used for the forward or pressing stroke is used for the return or non- pressing stroke. A number of collars D<1> ... D<4> are arranged on the valve-rod, or on a rod C connected thereto, and are engaged by levers F, K, G, E actuated by a collar N on the piston-rod M so as to move the valve B into certain positions. The Figure shows the position of the valve at the commencement of the pressing-stroke. Steam entering the cylinder through the port A drives the piston forwards until the stop N engages with the lever F, which by means of the collar D' moves the valve to the cut-off position. Near the end of the stroke, the collar N engages with the lever K and moves the valve so as to open communication between both ends of the cylinder through a by-pass B'. On the return stroke, the stop N engages with a lever H which, by means of a toothed sector, rocks a lever G engaging with the collar D<3> and forces the valve B further over, so as to open the port A to exhaust and allow the steam in the rear end of the cylinder to expand fully. At the end of the stroke, the stop N rocks the lever E engaging with the collar D' and moves the valve B back to the position shown to admit steam through the port A. The cycle of operations is then repeated. A handlever P is also connected to the valve-rod and may be employed to move the valve into any desired position. To ensure the complete opening of the port A, the lever E may be operated by a spring or weight operated by a trigger which is released by the stop N. The exhaust steam may be used for heating the material. Compressed air may be used as the motive fluid. The valve may be of the piston or rotary type. The press consists of an elongated chamber fitted with a suitable die througb which plastic material is extruded by means of a steam - actuated plunger. Two chambers, placed side by side, may be employed so that while one is being emptied by means of the plunger, the other may be tilled, the emptied chamber being moved aside at the end of the return stroke of the plunger. The invention is applied to the production of bricks, pipes, tiles, &c.

Patent GB-190725300-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Indicating, Warning, and Brake-applying Apparatus for Railway Trains and the like
Inventor: BRAMM JACQUES PIERRE DE
Filed: 1907-11-14
Granted: 1908-03-19
Abstract: 25,300. Braam, J. P. de. March 30, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Miniature signals; mechanical contacts; stopping engines and trains.-Relates to track contact apparatus for operating brakes and giving indications to the driver of a train, and consists in automatically warning the driver when one of the engine contact-levers is broken. The track contact-bars c, Figs. 1 and 2, when raised, make contact with levers e on the engine, thus rotating the shaft f and pulling down the rod i ; this rod, by means of the crank and rod k, operates a clutch member m, normally engaged with a member n on the tap a. The disengagement of these members allows a spring r mounted on the shaft q, which is connected with the tap by the mechanism s, t, u, p o, to rotate the tap a and open the brake pipe, and at the same time the rotation of the shaft q causes an inscription "Signal open," 2, or "Signal at danger," 3, placed on a fixed disk to appear, through a window w in a box v, Fig. 5, and an opening y in a movable disk therein. In normal running, a third inscription " Track open," 1, is seen. A handle 4 mounted on an extension of the shaft q is locked in a vertical position until the members m, n are disengaged, on which the driver can turn the handle in the direction of the arrow, Fig. 5, and so effect a re-engagement of the members and a return of the indications, the handle then falling back. To warn the driver when a lever e is broken, the recall spring 6 is then prevented from returning the rod i to its normal position. The re-engagement of the members m, n is thus prevented even though the driver operates the handle 4, and the brake works continuously, together with other warning devices operated by the shaft q. The locking device for this purpose consists of a spring bolt 7, the beak of which can engage in a notch 9 in the rod i. This bolt is normally held out of engagement by a counter bolt 10 under the action of a spring 11, which is maintained stretched by the pull of the cable 13, connected to the levers at 17, 18, by the cable 16. When the cable 16 is broken, the rising of the counter bolt 10 allows the bolt 7 to hold the rod i. The driver, to continue his journey, operates the handle 4 and places a key, which normally rests on the pin 20, in the notch 24 of the hub of a pinion 26 which gears with a toothed sector 27, which is guided by arched slots on screws fixed to the frame. The key is turned until a prolongation of the sector, bearing the inscription " Apparatus needs repair" shows through aperture y, together with the " Track free " indicator. The key also locks the handle in the inclined position.
