Granted: 1913-05-14
Abstract: 11,481. Callow, J., and Callow, H. L. May 14. Dough-working machines.-Relates to apparatus for subjecting dough portions to a sequence of sheeting and folding operations whilst under continuous movement. The dough pieces are first flattened, then subjected to the action of laterallydisposed folding-devices, whereby the sides are lapped or folded, again flattened, and the edges lapped or folded by mechanically-operated folders adapted to advance at the same speed as the dough ; the dough pieces are again flattened and afterwards subjected to laterally disposed devices for folding them into their final shape. Fig. 1, shows one form of machine in which proved dough is delivered between rolls 1, 1, 2, 2, to a carrier 3, which passes through rolls 5, or a shoe 41, Fig 16, and folds over the sides of the dough pieces. After passing beneath a flattening-roller 6, the pieces are deposited by a reciprocating portion of the carrier 3 upon folding-tools 7, which are arranged on guides 9 over a second carrier 8 and are advanced at the same speed as this carrier by a cam 10 acting through a lever 11 and link 12. During their movement, the flaps 7 are operated by pivoted stops 18, 19, Fig. 3, being restored by springs. At the end of their travel, the folders are raised clear of the dough by a cam 15, lever 16, and rod 17 connected to the guides 9. The folded portions then pass beneath a flattening-device 23 and through a final folding-device 24, which delivers them in loaf form 25. Fig. 4 shows a modified form of machine in which the dough portions are folded laterally by inclined rollers 4, flattened by a roller 6, and delivered on to folding tools 30, mounted on a continuously-driven conveyer 29. The flaps 30 are operated by suitable devices to fold the dough longitudinally, and the final fold is imparted by a pair of flaps 31 hinged at right-angles to the flaps 30 and operated by cam-guides 34. Fig. 6 shows a form of folder for producing the loaf shown in Fig. 14 ; the ends of the dough sheet are first folded over to the centre by flaps 30, hinged at 39, and a second similar fold is imparted by auxiliary flaps hinged at 40. One continuously-moving carrier may be used to convey the dough portions right through the machine ; or when more than one carrier is employed, the carriers may be set at right angles, in which case the folding-tools can be so arranged that they need not rise.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Change Speed Gear.
Inventor: JANZON PAUL
IPC: F16H3/24
Filed: 1912-05-20
Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 11,919. Janzon, P. May 24, 1911, [Convention date]. Variable-speed toothed gearing comprises, as shown in Fig. 1, a spindle 20 adapted to be turned to select which of a number of gears or clutches is to be operated, and a spindle 18, which can be slid longitudinally to effect the operation, or, as shown in Fig. 3, one spindle 30 adapted to be turned and slid to function in both these ways respectively. In both the arrangements shown, six speed - ratios can be obtained. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, a shaft 10 can be driven from a shaft 2 at three ratios through gear pairs 4, 5, or 6, 7, or 8, 9, respectively, and for each of these speeds a shaft 15 can be driven at two speeds through the wheels 11, 12, or 13, 14. The gears 5, 7, 9, 13 and a clutch 16 are adapted to be slid on the shaft 10 by arms 17 which are threaded on the spindle 18. Spring bolts 21 arranged transversely in the bosses of the arms 17 normally press up against the spindle 20 so as to engage in recesses 23, 24 in the spindle 20, and lock the arms 17 fast. On turning the spindle 20 by a hand-wheel 19, the bolts 21 are selectively thrust clear of its recesses and into engagement with recesses 25 in the spindle 18. On sliding the spindle 18 by operating a lever 26, the selected arms 17 are carried sideways and the desired gear configuration produced. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, which is specially suitable for lathes, one gear 42 is secured to a driving- shaft 28 and five other gears 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 are slidable on that shaft. One gear 33 is secured to a driven shaft 29, and other gears 35, 37, 39, 41, 43 are slidable thereon. Arms 44, 45, 46, &c. threaded on the spindle 30 connect the gears 32, 35 and 34, 37 and 36, 39, &c. so that these gear couplets are movable together. In the configuration shown, the spindle 30 has been turned by a hand-wheel 50 so as to cause the spring bolts 52 of the arms 46, 47, 48 to engage its recesses 55, 56, 57 and so as to thrust the bolts 52 of the arms 44, 45 out of its recesses 53, 54 into locking-engagement with recesses 58 in a casing 27. On operating a lever 51, the spindle 30 is moved to the right, and with it are carried an arm 49 and the arms 48, 47, 46. The gears 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43 are thus moved to the right together and clear of one another, and the gear 36 moves into mesh with the gear 37 to transmit power. When the shaft 28 is moved to the left, it is connected by a clutch 65 to a wheel 63, which is driven by friction from a slowly - rotating pulley 70. On moving the shaft 28 to the right, connexion is made through a clutch 69 with the main driving-pulley 31. When the parts are turning rapidly, a brake 75 is used to slow down the shaft 29 before changing speed, and a pawl 71 on the pulley 70 for slowing-down the shaft 28.

Abstract: 12,832. Glascodine, R. T. June 2. Couplings, automatic, of the kind in which a link t engages a rotary disk hook h which is locked in the coupled position by a member n engaging a recess s in the hook, and in which the looking - member, when withdrawn for uncoupling, is prevented from re - engaging with the recess by a latch device which is moved out of action by the rotation of the hook upon separation of the vehicles as described, for example in Specification 11,698/11. To enable recoupling to take place without separation of the vehicles, the latch device is adapted to be operated by hand to allow the locking- member to re-engage the recess. The latch device comprises a gravity catch formed of two side members a pivoted at their upper ends on studs or set-screws b upon the coupler-head, and each formed at its lower end with a step d and an inclined face e. The members a are connected by a bar f which may be of spring steel to allow the pivot holes to be sprung over the studs b. The members a are also connected by a rod g adapted to move in slots m in the coupler-head. In the uncoupled position, Fig. 1, the rod g bears against the curved edge of the disk hook, and the nose q of the locking- member n bears against the flat side of the hook. When, in coupling, the hook is rotated by the opposing link t to the position shown in Fig. 4, the member n engages with the recess s, and the rod g moves forwardly in the slots m. To uncouple, the member n is rotated about its pivot p to the position shown in broken lines in Fig. 7, in which its arm o engages automatically with one of the steps d. Upon separation of the vehicles, the rotation of the hook h causes an inclined face h<1> to push back the rod g and so release the step d from the arm o, whereupon the nose q again bears against the side of the hook ready for coupling. Or, without separation of the vehicles, the step d may be released by hand from the arm o, whereupon the member n re-engages with the recess s.
