Abstract: 13,272. Mangiameli, F., and Rosa, E. June 22. Blowpipe burners.-To obviate or minimize the effects of explosions occurring in an oxy - acetylene blowpipe, the acetylene is supplied through two intersecting helical passages s around a central oxygen nozzle r into a burner o, which is separated by a covering q of badly conducting material from the body of the blowpipe. A special plug cock h is employed to permit regulation of either gas supply without affecting the other. The acetylene passages s may be formed on the exterior of the oxygen nozzle r or within the sleeve n of the burner o into which the nozzle tightly fits. A conical gauze u may surround the oxygen tube g within the acetylene tube f to prevent the possibility of lighting-back. The plug h has passages b, c of such shape and so arranged that when the acetylene supply is full on as shown, the oxygen supply is cut off, while by rotating it in the direction of the arrow the oxygen supply first increases to a maximum without diminution of the acetylene supply, and then remains full while the acetylene supply is decreased. The acetylene passage through the cock is made crescent-shaped above the plug h.

Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 23,591. Guthrie, K. O. Nov. 19,1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Centering for arches &c.-An interior mould, adapted for the continuous casting of sewers and the like in situ, consists of a bottom section 1, and a collapsible top section 2, which, when collapsed, is carried on a wheeled frame 8 through the length of erected mould to a new position. The mould plates have a construction similar to that described with reference to Fig. 9 of Specification No. 16,519, A.D. 1908. The bottom section has an external flexible plate 3 to which is secured at intervals a metal plate bent as shown in Fig. 1, and bars or plates 4 bent to the required curvature are secured at intervals to this bent plate. The top section is formed in a similar manner to the bottom section, but the corresponding bars are in two parts 6, 7 provided at the top with hinged members secured together by a detachable pin 15. The top and bottom sections are connected together by temporary bolts connecting the ends 30, 31 of the bent plates, and by bolting hinged extensions 32 of the bars 4 to the bars 6, 7. To collapse the mould, the bolts and the pin 15 are removed and a turn-buckle 10, or a lever, is operated. The turn-buckle is connected by ropes 11, and the lever by rods, to hooks 12 which engage with studs 9, and in operating the device used, the external plates bend, while the bars 4 break joint at the hinges, thereby causing the top section to fall away from the work, on to the frame 8. Arched sections 17, 18 are supported by braces 19 above the mould so as to form a curved outer surface for the moulded sewer. In a modification, the bottom part of the sewer is first moulded by using a bottom section, which is then replaced by a braced structure 37, which, together with the rods 23, support the upper section, the tie rods passing through the wall of the section and being temporarily secured by a wedge or pin 38. A modified construction of the mould sections is described in which small foot-plates 25 are attached to the aforementioned bent plates ; these foot-plates have bolt holes to secure them to members having bolt holes so spaced with relation to each other that on bolting these members to the plates the desired curvature of the section is obtained. The bent plates and bars referred to above may be replaced by a number of similarly-bent strips, and continuous plates respectively, and the sections may be further strengthened by wood blocks inserted in the spaces between the members used in the construction of a section.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Stamp Cancelling or the like Machines.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: B41K3/52
Filed: 1909-12-28
Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 30,329. Boult, A. J., [Universal Postal Machine Co.]. Dec. 28. Feeding sheets etc.; delivery apparatus.-In a postmarking-machine, means are described for (1) feeding and separating the letters, (2) releasing the impression-roller tripping-devices, and (3) delivering and stacking the letters. (1) The letters are placed on edge on an endless belt 6, Fig. 1, between guide-plates 2, 3, which close in at their forward end to form a throat in which the letters are partially separated or "fanned out." The foremost letter is separated from the remainder by friction devices, preferably circular pads 7, on a feeding-wheel 8, and is forwarded to engage the pivoted timing- stop 21. When this occurs, the pads 7, which have frictionally-mounted spindles, roll over the letter and thus avoid tearing it. A supplementary timing-finger is provided, which assists the finger 21 in arresting the letter without damaging the front edge. The timing-stop 21 is held from yielding by a cam on the spindle of the marking-roller 19, which engages with a lever on the.spindle of the stop 21. If, however, a letter is in the way of the stop, the cam yields by the action of a spring. Pivoted spring-pressed fingers 9, 13 lie substantially in line with the inclined portion of the wall 3, and assist the pads 7 in separating the letters. A spring-pressed notched lever 16 also assists in this manner. (2) When the timing-stop 21 is released, the letter is engaged by a pivoted spring-pressed clamping foot 32, mounted on the roller 19 and coacting with the periphery of the wheel 8 to carry the latter past the stop 21. This movement tilts the bell-crank stop-lever 33, so as to release the lever 34 carrying the impression roller 20, which is thus free to press the letter against the marking-roller under the influence of a spring 41 connected to a second lever 39, which bears with its other end on a lever 38 rigidly connected to the lever 34 at its pivot. When the marking is finished a cam on the shaft of the roller 19 retrips the impression roller. (3) The letter is then forwarded by the wheel 8 and a pivoted spring-pressed roller 35 to the revolving stacker 44. If the letters are long, they are stacked against a stop 48; if short, then a pivoted stop 47 is turned into the position shown. A step 46 formed in the delivery table helps to keep the pile in stacked position, and for short letters, a guide 49 is mounted on a pivoted bar of the receiving- table so that, if desired, it may be turned into position to guide the pile.
