Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 20,009. Kramer, S. R. Sept. 12, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Platen presses.-Relates to apparatus for applying bronze powder or the like to a web of paper which has been printed or otherwise prepared, particularly applicable for attachment to a platen press of the Gordon type so as to operate on the web after printing and before it is cut. Fig. 3 shows a sectional elevation of the apparatus, which has a box-like frame A into which the web a<5> passes over a guide-roller b<4>. Bronze powder is fed to the web from a hopper G having a rotating feed-roller g formed with recesses g' which may be in the form of longitudinal rows of depressions which take up the powder and deliver it to the web. Below this roller may be a bar g<1> with transverse holes g<3> which register with the recesses g<2>, and through which the powder passes to the web. Screws g<4> may be provided for varying the size of the holes g<3> and regulating the supply of powder. In order to prevent the powder from becoming clogged in the recess g<2>, the shaft of the roller g is jarred at intervals by a weighted arm I lifted and released by a cam on the shaft of the roller g. The powder is distributed on the web by brushes D carried by arms c<1> of a shaft C reciprocated longitudinally by a bell-crank lever having a ball-and-socket connexion with a rod connected to a crank-pin driven from the machine. Weights d<1> may be applied to the brushes to increase their pressure on the web. The web is supported under the brushes by a smooth table c. Surplus powder is removed from the upper and lower surface of the web by brushes h<2>, h<3> of soft felt &c. on driven shafts H, H'. Collecting-trays J, J<1> are placed one on each side of the brush h<2> to receive the surplus powder. They are supported on guides j, j<1> and are adjustable by screws j<3>. The web passes between feed-rollers b, b<2> and thence between slitters a by which it is cut into strips. The roller g may be driven by a chain g<6> from the roller b.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Engines.
Inventor: CHOATE SILVANUS FREDERICK VAN
Filed: 1907-05-21
Granted: 1908-05-21
Abstract: 11,809. Choate, S. F. van. May 21. Movable-abutment type with rocking abutments. Cylindrical rocking abutments are formed with passageways for the admission of fluid to the working chamber, and are operated by the working fluid, the abutments being made as oscillating vane motors. Passages in the sides of the casing register periodically with segmental passages in the piston drum, whereby the drum functions as a distributing - valve for the abutment - actuating means. Duplicate abutments are provided for reverse running. A piston drum a, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, is made with three vanes a', which co-operate with two rocking abutments h<1>, h<2> for clockwise rotation. For counterclockwise rotation, these abutments are held in inoperative position, and two other abutments h<3>, h<4> are brought into action. In the drawings, the engine is shown set for clockwise rotation. Steam or other motive fluid passes from a pipe g, Fig. 2, to the interior of a cylindrical valve e actuated by a wheel e<2>. In the position shown, fluid passes through a port r<1> to passages i<1>, i<2> in the engine casing, which are in constant communication with the hollow hubs of the abutments. Each abutment is provided with a radial port so that, except during the passage of a vane, fluid can flow into the working chamber. The abutment casings are made with two segmental chambers 12, 13, Fig. 3, separated by a projection 10, in which fit two vanes 6, 7 made integral with the abutments. Passages k, n lead from the chambers 12,13, to the central portion of the casing, and a passage j connects the hollow hub of each abutment with the central part of the casing. These passages register periodically with segmental grooves in the piston drum (see Fig. 3) so that fluid is admitted alternately to each side of the projection 10, thereby oscillating the abutments as required. Any suitable means may be provided for exhausting the fluid from the chambers 12, 13. One method is described in which additional grooves are made in the drum which communicate periodically with the atmosphere. Valves are fitted to throttle the exhaust, thereby producing a cushioning effect. Two of the abutments are held in inoperative position by fluid admitted directly to the chambers 13 by way of passages pl, p', p<3>, p<4>, Fig. 1, two of which communicate with a port s, Fig. 2, and two with a port s<1>, in the reversing-valve. The reversing-valve is so ported that when the ports r, s<1> are open, the ports r<1>, s are closed, and vice versa. The working fluid is exhausted through ports u, u<1>, Fig. 3. The shaft, engine casing, and throttle-valve casing are provided with small channels for the conveyance of lubricant to the rotating surfaces.

Couplings, autcmatic.-The coupling described in Specification No. 8448, A.D. 1907, is provided with means for uncoupling both of the engaged links simultaneously, and with auxiliary links for connexion to ordinary draw-hooks. One of the links L is operated directly by a chain, cable, or the like C connected to a lever E at the side of the vehicle, while the other link L is uncoupled by an arm A which is pivoted to the vehicle at a' and operated by a stop c<2> on the cable C. The arm A is normally kept against the end of the vehicle by a spring a<2> and is provided with a stop at the rear of its pivot a' for limiting the outward movement. The chain C is connected at its outer end to an eye d<1>, Fig. 4, formed on a disk D which is attached to the lever E, a spring catch F, pivoted at f<2> and engaging a notch in the disk, being provided for holding the parts in the uncoupled position. For coupling with vehicles having ordinary draw-hooks, a link J, Fig. 8, is carried at one end of a bar G, Fig. 7, which is pivoted centrally under the end of the vehicle and shaped to escape the buffer coupling.

Abstract: 13,431. Humphrey, H., Pain, J. C., Pain, A., and Pain, P. June 10. Detonator apparatus; detonating signals.-Detonators are attached to a chain moved step by step by means of a reciprocating slide with camsurfaces engaging pins on the wheel, this slide being operated from the cabin. Detonators K have a bridge-piece with tongues L on the base, through which one arm of a folded strip M of metal is passed. The lower arm of the strip has two holes into which enter studs c<1>, c<2> on an arm c attached to the links of the chain. The lug c<3> holds the upper arm in position. The bend m of the strip M is made brittle so as to break and release the arm c when subjected to pressure. The chain C passes round a wheel A and a roller B of square crosssection. The wheel A is moved in one direction only by the reciprocating slide E which is connected by an adjustable connexion to the signal wire. The bar E has cam projections d<1>, d<2>, d<3>, d<4> which engage rollers a on the wheel A, the cams d<1>, d<3> driving the wheel such a distance as to remove a detonator from the rail on one stroke of the bar E, and the cams d<2>, d' driving the wheel on the return stroke so as to put a fresh detonator on the rail.

Abstract: 2148. Mason, C. L., and Still, W. M. Jan. 30. Steam traps.-A steam trap has two discharge openings a, b, the former of which is controlled by an expansible capsule e of the type described in Specification No. 21,571, A.D. 1902 ; the other passage b is normally closed by a ball valve g, which is held on its seat by steam pressure and falls away or is raised by a weighted lever when steam is cut off, so that when steam is again turned on, grit is blown past the ball while it closes. The ball valve and also the capsule may be movable by hand. A stem o carrying the capsule has an arm 7, which, when the stem is turned by a key or by a lever 3 engaging with recesses in an adjusting-nut 2, forces the ball from its seat so that steam blows through the lower opening. In a modified trap, a cam on the stem forces down one arm of a weighted lever, so that the other arm opens the ball valve. Steam may also be blown through the upper opening by forcing inward the handle of the lever, so that the capsule is withdrawn against the action of a spring r. The joint between the stem and the casing is made water-tight by packing.
