IPC: B41B11/18
Filed: 1909-11-01
Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 25,147. Degener, H., and General Composing Co. Nov. 1. Assembling matrices.- In setting mixed copy, the matrices are assembled in their lower position upon ledges d, e and are afterwards lifted to their upper position by raising the ledge e. The upper front edge f of the assembler device is pivoted so that it may be swung forwards, whereupon those matrices that are to cast ordinary characters instead of italics, may be tipped forward so that their front bottom lugs pass beneath the ledge e. When the edge f is swung back again, the matrices for casting ordinary characters rest upon the ledge d ; a second ledge e<1> may co-operate with the ledge d. The space-bars bang upon the back edge of the assembler and upon the edge f, and so remain undisturbed during the lifting of the ledge e. A bar g carrying the ledges e, e<1> is lifted by turning an eccentric h, stops being provided.

Abstract: 27,573. Greaves, J. C. Nov. 26. Treating hides and skins with liquids.-In a series of tanning-vats interconnected so that the weak liquor in one vat rises and descends through a pipe to the bottom of the next vat, the vats being thereby kept individually at normal strengths, the perforated distributing - pipes are arranged to cover the greater part of the bottom of each vat. The green skins are first treated with the weakest liquor, and as their tannage progresses they are treated with the stronger liquors.

Title: Improvements relating to Fluid Pressure Braking Apparatus.
Inventor: CLOUD JOHN WILLS
IPC: B60T15/18
Filed: 1910-07-01
Granted: 1911-06-29
Abstract: 15,835. Cloud, J. W. July 1. Fluid - pressure, automatic regulation of. In fluid-pressure braking-apparatus as described in Specification 7242/06, in which a valve is provided for automatically restricting the flow of fluid to the brake cylinder when the brake-cylinder pressure has reached a predetermined amount, the valve is constructed so that the brake-cylinder pressure at which the restriction of flow occurs is either (1) independent of the original pressure in the auxiliary reservoir, or (2) higher or lower according as the original auxiliary-reservoir pressure is less or greater than normal. (1) Fig. 1 shows one form of valve for obtaining the former result, and comprises an ordinary Westinghouse feed-valve, of which the chamber 6 is connected to the application port of the triple valve, and a port 9 communicates with the brake cylinder. Further, the valve 7 is formed with a by-pass 10. During an application, air from the auxiliary reservoir enters the chamber 6 and moves the valve 7 to open full communication with the brake cylinder. When the brake - cyliuder pressure has reache l a certain amount dependent on the adjustment of the spring 14 acting on the feed-valve diaphragm 13, the valve 17 closes, thereby allowing the pressures at opposite sides of the piston 4 to equalize, so that the valve 7 closes and the brake cylinder is supplied only through the by-pass 10. In a modification, the by-pass 10 may be arranged to afford permanent communication between the reservoir and brake cylinder. (2) Fig. 3 shows one form of valve for obtaining the second effect mentioned above, and comprises a valve chamber which communicates at 21 with the application port of the triple valve, and at 25 with the brake cylinder, and contains a piston or diaphragm 22 which is controlled by a spring 24 and formed with an extension 30 acting as a piston valve. During application, the brake cylinder is supplied through ports 27 until the pressure therein is sufficient to move the piston 22 to close the ports 27, whereupon the brake cylinder is then supplied by smaller ports 28 and a by-pass 31. The space above the valve 30 becomes charged to auxiliaryreservoir pressure by leakage, and such pressure assists to move the piston 22, so that the closing of the ports 27 occurs at a lower or higher brakecylinder pressure according as the original auxiliaryreservoir pressure is greater or less than normal. In modifications, the ports 28 are dispensed with, and the by-pass 31 is arranged so as to afford continuous communication between the port 21 and the brake cylinder. Valves as described above may also be used to control the flow of air from the train-pipe to the brake cylinder.

The boot engages with the end plates only, or both with the end plates and the narrow side plates. Instead of shaping the edges of the end plates, they may be made with contacting points a<3>, a<4>, Fig. 27, of different heights. The metal side plates described in the before-mentioned Specification may be replaced by rubber blocks e, Fig. 8, suitably shaped at the top and secured by bolts e<1> to the end plates. The rat-trap form may be provided at the sides and ends with shaped rubber treads f, Fig. 11.

The rubber treads for the end plates may be subdivided for convenience of fixing, and like the end plates themselves, are shaped to correspond with the boot sole; or the rubber only may be so shaped. The side plates and end plates may be flanged over at right-angles to form the tread surfaces, and rubber blocks may be fitted to this form, as to the other forms; or the flanges may be fitted with non-slipping rubber studs g, Fig. 23. Instead of constructing this form of the pedal from metal plates, it may be formed of a cast, shaped framework of aluminium, or the framework may be flat and the studs of different depth to suit the shape of the boot.
