Title: An Improved Process and Machine for Shearing and Forging Metal.
Inventor: SCHOEN CHARLES THOMAS
Filed: 1908-06-23
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 13,331. Schoen, C. T. June 23. Shearing; forging.-Ingots, bars, or billets to be sheared and forged, it may be into blanks for car wheels, are clamped by two pairs of pressure clamps, one pair of which is moved relatively to the other to effect the shearing, the second pair entering the surface of the metal to resist the flow. The ingot is lowered until its under end is on the short arm 25, Fig. 12, of a tilting table 25, 26, which is at the position shown by dotted lines. An hydraulic piston is then lowered, and with it a rack operating a pinion carried by trunnions 27 on the tilting table, which is thus rotated into the position shown in full lines. The exhaustion of liquid from a cylinder 33 lowers a piston 34 and a movable frame 28 which supports the tilting table thus leaving the ingot free on the tracks 37 to be fed forward by a piston 40. Two cross-heads 65, 63, Fig. 4, are respectively connected to pistons 44, 51 and attached to elements 47, 52 of the shearing- clamp. The lower element 53 of the holding-clamp is fixed and the upper element 48 is connected to a piston 46 working in a cylinder 45 inside the piston 44. The ingot is completely surrounded by the clamps. Liquid is supplied to the cylinder 43 surrounding the piston 44 by a duct 59 and to the cylinder 45 by the arrangement shown in Fig. 7. A fixed tube 70 telescopes a cylinder 60 an outlet from the cylinder being provided by a duct 62 leading to the cylinder 45. A similar arrangement allows the supply of liquid to the cylinder 73, Fig. 4, in which works a piston carrying a stop for the feed of the ingot. The ingot being in position the elements 47,48 move downward with the piston 44, the holding-clamps being forced into the metal and the shearing - clamps moved still onward to effect a shear. The cylinder 50 is exhausted during this operation. The cross-heads 63, 65 are connected by spiral springs so that when the piston 51 is at the upper end of its travel the upper elements of the clamps are raised from the ingot, which is also freed from the bottom element by the action of a bar 69, attached by a link 68, connected to the piston 46.

Title: Improvements in Rotary Motors and Pumps.
Inventor: KINNEY JUSTUS ROYAL
Filed: 1909-10-01
Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 22,422. Kinney, J. R. Oct. 1. Movable - abutment type ; packing drums, vanes, and abutments; valve-gear. - Relates to rotary engines or pumps provided with cut-off, throttle, and reversing valvegear, and with packing and lubricating devices. Two oppositely-disposed eccentric pistons 12 are keyed to a shaft 13 which is mounted in cylinders 11. On each piston bears a hinged abutment 16 provided with a spring- pressed member 17 and shoe 18, and lubricating channels 82, 83, 84, 84*, 85. The tension of the spring 19 is adjusted by a screw 20. Spring-pressed packing-pieces 32 bear on the free end of the abutment. The simultaneous movements of the abutments are controlled by a rocking member 36, which is hinged to a pivot 37 and bears against the backs of the abutments through the medium of balls 35. A tubular inlet valve 22, provided with ports 23, is fitted with a tubular cut-off and throttle valve 60, which is rotated by a gearwheel 61 meshing with a gear 30 secured to the piston shaft 13. Throttling is effected by regulating the axial position of the valve 60 by means of the handle 66. For forward driving, the motive fluid is admitted by the ports 23 of the inlet valve to ports 24 of the cylinder 11, and is exhausted through the abutments 16, chamber 14, and ports 27 to a conduit 31. An arm 71 reverses the engine by rotating the valve 22 until the ports 23 register with the passage 25, which leads to the chamber 14 and the other side of the abutment-shoe 18. This same motion of the arm 71 operates a gear-segment 70 which meshes with gear-segments 72, 73, thereby closing the exhaust ports 27 and opening an exhaust port 26 by means of valves 29, 28 actuated by cranks on the shafts of the segments. The piston is provided with a pivoted packing- piece 47, constrained in position by two cammembers 49 fitted with arms 51 and seated in pockets in the piston. Studs 52, projecting from a side wall of the casing, tilt the arms 51 in a direction which depends on the direction of motion of the piston, and the consequent disposition of the cam-member 49 allows the rear end of the packing-piece 47 to be moved by the motive fluid into contact with the cylinder. The rocking member 36 may operate through struts instead of balls, and its pivot 37 may be mounted in an adjustable support.
