Title: Improvements in or relating to Percussive Rock Drills and the like.
Inventor: NICHOLSON RICHARD
IPC: E21B17/04
Filed: 1910-07-23
Granted: 1911-04-20
Abstract: 17,515. Nicholson, R., and Davenport, C. July 23. [Cognate Application, 999/11.] Percussive drills.- The bit of a percussive drill is secured to the drill bar by a rivet of soft metal inserted in holes concentric with the bit and bar and deformed after insertion. As shown, a rivet c of soft metal is forced into a tapered hole concentric with the drill bar a. The end of the rivet has a countersunk hole d and, preferably, radial slots. An undercut recess f in the bit e has a central cone f<1>, which, when the bit and bar are forced together, enters the hole d and splays the rivet into the undercut portions of the recess. In a modification, the hole in the drill bar is of the same form as that shown in the bit. In a further modification, the holes in bit and bar are both cylindrical and are formed with right and left-handed screw-threads with rounded edges. The metal of the rivet enters the screwthreads under pressure, and enables the parts to be separated by unscrewing when desired.

Abstract: 18,108. Lake, H. W., [Vereinigte Freiburger Uhrenfabriken Akt.- Ges. vorm. G. Becker]. July 29. Striking-mechanism. - In a weight-driven clock in which rod gongs are employed, the gong members q are arranged parallel with the rear wall of the casing, and are struck by hammers m mounted on a vertical shaft h. By this means, space is economized, and the force necessary to operate the mechanism is small. The pin-wheel b rocks a spring-pressed horizontal arbor e, which actuates the hammershaft h by the engagement of a loop f with an arm g on the shaft. The hammer shaft is spring-controlled, and its motion is limited by a stop-pin v, with which a curved arm u on the shaft engages.

Granted: 1912-06-25
Abstract: 10,061. O'Neill, F. April 25. Blowing.-Relates to a bottle-making machine of the turnover type. The turnover frame 8 is inverted by a rack 50 and pinion 51 which are actuated by a piston 52 working in a compressed-air cylinder 53. The halves of the parison mould 10 are mounted on arms 11, 12 carried by piston-rods 15, 16, which are moved so as to open and close the mould by compressed air admitted by an automatically-operated valve 27 to cylinders 13, 14. The finishing-moulds 75 are carried on a rotating table 80. The blowing-air is admitted through a valve 76 provided with a by-pass 78 controlled by a needle valve 79. The valve 76 is first turned so as to allow a small quantity of air to enter through the by-pass and elongate the hanging parison. It is then turned to admit air from the main pipe so as to blow the parison to its final form in the blowing-mould. The plunger and nipple are operated by handles 72, 69. The nipple is withdrawn from contact with the molten glass before the plunger is projected forward to pierce the parison.

Title: Process of Making Type Matter and Sorting the Matter into Groups by Means of Perforated Bands and Apparatus for carrying out the same.
IPC: B41B27/10
Filed: 1911-07-03
Granted: 1912-06-27
Abstract: 15,426. Drewell, H., and Schnellsetzmaschinen-Ges. July 3. Galleys and galley mechanism for type-setting and type-bar making machines. Type-matter produced in type-setting or line-casting machines controlled by perforated bands is sorted into groups by means of special symbols which operate to adjust a number of galleys so that type-matter of the same group passes into the same galley. The galleys 2 are supported on a carriage 1 movable on rollers 4 and provided with a rack 7 engaging spur gears 8, which are brought into operation by means of clutches 15 and move the carriage in opposite directions. The clutches are operated by means of levers 30 which carry universal bars 27, 28 having a space 27<a> between them. Levers 21 corresponding to the galleys are provided, and are released by electro-magnets 26 which are energized on the presentation of the special symbol. The levers 21 on being released strike one of the universal bars and throw one of the clutches into gear. The galleys are moved until the released lever enters the space between the universal bars, whereupon the clutch is thrown out of gear by means of a spring 38. A cam 41<a> returns the levers 21 to their initial position. The lines are pushed into the selected galley by a plate 47 carried by a two-armed lever 46 operated by a cam 42<a>. The universal bars are maintained in their normal position by means of two-armed levers 50 which are operated to free the universal bars by means of a cam 43. If the source of the matter be indicated by a printed sign &c., the key for setting the sign may serve for simultaneously selecting the galley, and a switch of known construction and operation is used, by means of which further use of the special symbol which selects the galley does not operate the selecting-mechanism until a ' change over ' signal in the band has operated to bring the switch to its initial position. Means are provided for preventing accidental movement of the galleys, and the lines are supported in the galleys by means of a spring slide which yields under the pressure of the plate 47.

The horn-shaped guides f, which are arranged in pairs pointing in opposite directions, are secured to the cheeks b of the holder by screws and slots. A spring d keeps the cheeks b pressed against the armature. The armature may be held stationary and the supply bobbin rotated about it. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a modification in which the curved guides g are replaced by a closed ring mounted on radial arms and guided by rollers on the frame. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improved System for Preventing or Extinguishing Fires or Explosions in Mines, Buildings, Ships, and the like.
Inventor: HARGER JOHN
IPC: A62C99/00
Filed: 1911-12-13
Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 28,075. Harger, J. Dec. 13. Fires, preventing in mines and ships; fireextinguishing by gases.-Explosions or fires in mines, ships, &c. are prevented by lowering the oxygen content of the air supplied for ventilation purposes to such an extent that while it will be insufficient to allow the combustion of ordinary solid or liquid combustibles it will still support human life. This is effected by removing a portion of the oxygen by any wellknown means or by adding to the air any inert non-poisonous gas rich in nitrogen, such as purified flue gases free from carbon-monoxide. The modified air is tested for oxygen by passing it over a series of lamps supplied with various hydrocarbons or other burning material which are found to be extinguished at varying percentages of oxygen; such a series may begin with a lamp of one of the higher hydrocarbons and end with acetylene gas.

Abstract: 1392. Ross, C. H. A. F. L. Jan. 17. Breech actions, sliding breech - block.-Relates to guns having the breech-bolt engaged by a pivoted detent and the firing-plunger by a sear so connected with the trigger as to be directly actuated thereby without the trigger releasing the detent and' consists (1) in interposing a compression spring between the detent and the sear, tending to press them into position for engaging the breech - bolt and firing-plunger respectively, and (2) in the provision in the breech-bolt of three longitudinal slots, adapted to receive the extractor, ejector, and firing-pin. In the form shown, the breech-bolt 7, Fig. 3, having three slots 15, 16, and 17, shown in section in Fig. 6, containing respectively the extractor 18, firing-pin 21 and ejector 25, is provided with a hollow rearward extension 8, containing the firing-plunger 9, and slotted to permit the lug 13 of the plunger to engage with the sear 35, which is pivoted on the pin 30 to the body of the gun. A detent 31 is also pivoted on the pin 30, and carries a shoulder 33 engaging a lug 28 on the breechbolt extension 8. A spring 38, in compression, is interposed between the dog 31 and the sear 35 to force them into their cocking positions. The trigger 5 is pivoted to the sear by the pin 42, which is pressed upwards by the spring 43. The nose 46 of the trigger is pressed against the receiver 3 by a tongue 48 on the spring 43. If the action is to be automatic, the detent 33 is so inclined that the breech-block is blown back on discharge. For hand operation, the inclination of the detent is steep enough to prevent this motion, in which case the detent 33 is disengaged from the lug 28 by pressing on the finger-piece 32, and the breech-bolt is withdrawn by the handle 51 working in a slot in the receiver 3. The rear end of the receiver is closed by a detachable cap 52 carrying an adjustable sight 4.
