Title: Improvements in or relating to Moulding and the Preparation of Patterns therefor.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1905-04-04
Granted: 1906-04-04
Abstract: 7146. Boult, A. J., [Soc. Deville]. April 4. Moulding.-Thin metal articles are moulded by means of patterns thicker than the articles by an amount corresponding to a separation of the mould parts of from 6 to 12 millimetres. The invention is described with reference to a boiling-pan, such as is shown in Fig. 5. An ordinary pattern similar to but larger than the pattern to be produced, to allow for successive shrinkages, is taken and moulded in a three-part mould, the upper part containing the git and the middle and lower parts forming the exterior and interior mould parts respectively. These parts are then separated by an annular filling of sand, and a cast is taken, producing a pattern of increased thickness and provided with a strengthening-flange 6, Fig. 7, which serves in subsequent moulding to form the parting. The pattern is tooled to correct for the imperfections of a rough casting. To enable both parts of the mould to be simultaneously filled with sand in the case of the pan portion of the boiler, the bottom is made separately and grooved on to the remainder of the pattern, which is shown in Fig. 11. The pattern for the furnace part is formed without the smoke outlet 8 and its seat 7, which are separately moulded. The part 7 is moulded by a raised part on a piece tapered to fit in the part 14, 15 of the moulding-machine, which may be of the type described in Specification No. 7147, A.D. 1905. The part 8 is formed by an annular recess moulded in a flask which is of identical outer shape with, and is substituted for, the piece previously used for the part 7. When the flange of the pan portion has inscriptions in relief or ribs of considerable size, it is moulded in a preliminary operation in an annular flask 22, 23 formed of thin sheet metal connected by stays. The handles d are inserted in the sand.

Title: Improvements in Electric Cut-out Switches.
Inventor: FRECHETTE JOSEPH
Filed: 1905-04-10
Granted: 1905-10-12
Abstract: 7617. Frechette, J. April 10. Switches.-In order to cut out lamps from a circuit, for purposes of repair without danger, the line current being always maintained, two pairs of springs are connected with the line terminals e<1>, one main pair C normally resting upon the terminal contacts g of the lamp, and the other pair k normally standing off. The connexions to the latter pair from the line terminals are placed in grooves o, Fig. 4, behind the base A. On turning a handle c' at the end of a solid insulating-roller B, in the direction of the arrow from the position of Fig. 2, the main springs C are forced off the lamp contacts g, and at the same time are bridged by a conducting- plate d' screwed on a ridge d of the drum. Further turning causes screws or cami n to press the two auxiliary springs k on the lamp contacts g, as in Fig. 3, thus yielding a reduced shunt current to the lamp. Still further turning allows the main springs to fly back upon the contacts and restores the lamp to full working. The switch is enclosed in a metal case attached to a street post and provided with a hinged cover &c.

Granted: 1907-02-14
Abstract: 9413. Batcheller, B. C. April 21. Pneumatic dispatch apparatus.- Provides for maintaining the communication between the transit tube and the vacuum pipe only for a determined time after the insertion of a carrier. The timing-device consists of a piston I<4>, Fig. 2, in a cylinder J, which has a bypass J<1> containing a needle valve J<5> and a lift valve J'. A valve K at the top of the exhaust pipe B<4> is attached to a diaphragm K<2> separating chambers E<8>, E<5>, the former of which is always in communication with the vacuum pipe B<4> through a tube F<1>, while the latter, through a chamber containing a double valve F<6>, F<8>, can be opened either to atmospheric pressure or to suction. The double valve is part of the armature of an electro-magnet round which a current is normally flowing, so that the valve is held up against an atmospheric port. When the piston of the timing- device is raised by the hand-lever which opens the inlet door for the carrier, a metal ring I<3> on its head is separated from a pair of contacts and the current is broken. Communication with the vacuum tube is accordingly cut off, and atmospheric pressure under the diaphragm lifts the valve K off the vacuum tube B<4>. In a modification, the exhaust chamber E<8> is replaced by a spring, and the vacuum tube F<1> is provided with a needle valve to check the suction, when the atmospheric pressure is cut off again. The stations are similar to those described in Specification No. 9224, A.D. 1902.
