Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Flanging Metallic Bands, Rings, Pipes, Tank Sections, or other Open-ended Hollow Bodies.
Filed: 1907-12-11
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 27,365. International Pfaudler, Ltd., [Finch, C. L.]. Dec. 11. Flanging; shearing; chucks.-In a machine for flanging metallic bands, rings, pipes, tank sections, &c., the band is held internally by a chuck and rotated, and one or two flanging-rollers 21 mounted in pivoted carriers 34 coact with supporting - rollers 39, mounted on a sliding carriage 40, to flange one or both edges of the band. Shearing-cutters 50, mounted on pivoted arms 48 and operated by screws 52, act on the flanged edges and trim them. The chuck consists of jaws 5, Fig. 3, mounted on slides 7 moving in guides 6, the slides being connected by links 9 to a rod 10, mounted in the hollow shaft 3 and operated by fluid pressure. In a modification for bands of smaller diameter, jaws 5<a>, Fig. 6, are used. In this case, only one edge is flanged at a time. The flanging-roll carriers 34 are mounted on carriages 29, which are transversely movable on carriages 25 movable radially towards the work. These carriages can be driven by power or by hand. The chuck is provided with an internal wheel 18 by which it is driven from a shaft 19. A modified form of shearing-cutters is shown in Fig. 5, which shows the flanged form of the band ; in this case, cutters 50<b> coact with rollers 50<a>.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Production of Artificial Silk.
Inventor: GUADAGNI GIUSEPPE
Filed: 1908-01-18
Granted: 1909-01-18
Abstract: 1265. Guadagni, G. Sept. 28, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Cellulose.-In a process for obtaining artificial silk from a cupro-ammoniacal solution of cellulose, raw cellulose is placed in the upper por tion 7 of the vessel shown in Fig. 2, the lower portion 1 of which contains an ammoniacal copper solution in which is suspended an excess of hydrated copper oxide or copper salt. Air is blown into this solution by means of a perforated pipe extending along the bottom of the vessel. 1. The volatilization of ammonia thereby produced lowers the temperature in the apparatus, and the evolved ammonia saturates the moist cellulose contained in the upper part 7. By means of shutters 8 on a rotatable shaft 10, the cellulose thus prepared is dropped in regular quantities into the solution, which is agitated by pallets 4 mounted on a shaft 2. When a sufficiently concentrated solution of cellulose has been prepared in this manner, it is squirted into a precipitating-bath, consisting of a mixture of sulphuric and hydrochloric acids, the total quantity of acid being such as exactly to convert into salts the ammonia and copper present.

Title: Improvements in Metal Cutting Machines particularly for Cutting the Keys of Yale and similar Locks.
Inventor: HERBERT ALFRED
Filed: 1908-03-04
Granted: 1908-07-30
Abstract: 4916. Herbert, A., and Hildreth, W. A. March 4. Milling; ; work-holding devices. - Machines are specially arranged to cut the notches in the keys of Yale and similar locks. The keys may have five notches and each notch may be of ten different depths, the 100,000 permutations resulting, being obtained in succession by the apparatus which sets the key blanks in position. Stationary milling- cutters operate on three key blanks E, retained in a clamp D carried by a slide which moves laterally in a dovetail in the body C. Vertical movement of the clamp is obtained from five stepped disks Q each having ten steps corresponding to the depths of notches to be cut. The disks are attached to wheels operated similarly to counting-wheels by means of pawls 0 on a spindle N, which is attached to plates M<2> operated by means of a two-toothed wheel K and spring-pressed oscillating member L. The wheel K is rotated step by step by a handle H, pawl G<3>, and shaft G, the shaft also giving lateral motion to the clamp D, through the medium of cams J. The body C is preferably raised vertically by means of a cam-wheel S, projections on which engage a fixed swell T, and one of the bosses R<2> is thereby lifted on to the corresponding step. The bosses R<2> are attached to collars R on the driving- shaft G and are set to come progressively into action.

Abstract: 6251. Ries, H. March 20. Discharging; cooling discharged materials.-A cokequenching trough 1, rotatably mounted upon a traveller 3, is supplied with water from a tank 7 through a pipe 8 and sprayers 4. The trough is rotated by a pinion 13 driven from a motor 14 and gearing with a toothed ring 12, and longitudinal ribs 17 are provided to agitate the coke during rotation; the steam escapes through a flue 23. The coke is conveyed from the retort chambers to the trough by a shoot composed of three separate sections,the first being attached to the door frame of the retort, the second to the traveller, and the third to the trough. By rotating the trough, the cooled coke is discharged into a second shoot 77, which may be raised or lowered by a rack 79 and pinion 80 to direct the coke into a pit 76. In a modification, the trough is formed with an inclined wall to facilitate dumping.
