The materials pass from a hopper on to a tray 15 which periodically is displaced to bring the holes 16 in the tray 15 and a lower fixed tray 14, into alignment and thus allow the material to fall on to a shovel 17. The shovel 17 and a plunger 18 are both horizontally displaceable between a position beneath the trays 14, 15 and a position on the lip 8. After some of the materials have been discharged on to the shovel, the shovel and plunger are shifted to the position shown by the full lines on Fig. 4. The materials are then sintered by the furnace heat and by laterally arranged small burners 21 and/or electrical heating elements. The frit produced by sintering is discharged into the vat by movement of the plunger 18. To prevent the materials adhering to the shovel 17 and to further assist sintering the shovel includes electrical heating elements 24. The melting vat is divided into melting and clarification zones by air blown into the vat from nozzles 11.

IPC: B41F31/02
Filed: 1960-07-20
Abstract: 916,474. Inking apparatus. VICKERSARMSTRONGS (ENGINEERS) Ltd. July 5, 1961 [July 20, 1960], No. 25315/60. Class 100 (2). The inking mechanism of a rotary press comprises a drum 12 which is covered with ink issuing from orifices disposed longitudinally of an ink rail 10 mounted between side frame members of the press to allow pivotal movement between two limiting positions defined by stop means 24. Locking of the rail 10 in its limiting positions is effected by clamping means 25. In the first position, Fig. 4a, the orifices, which are disposed in a face 11 of the rail 10, face the inking drum 12 whilst in the second position the face 11 is upwardly directed, Fig. 4c, to allow cleaning of the orifices, for example, by passing a cleaning fluid therethrough. Each end of the rail is rotatably mounted in a side frame member 14 through the interengagement of a bearing surface 13 of the rail in a bracket 13<SP>1</SP> attached to the member 14. At the end of the rail where the ink is supplied to the orifices by a multi-plunger pump 20 through conduits 19, 16 the rail carries an apertured plate 15 which registers with apertures in a bush 17 carried by the associated frame member 14 such that continuity of ink or cleaning fluid supply is ensured in both limiting positions of the rail. In these positions the opposing faces of bush and plate are in contact but in order to allow free pivotal movement of the rail the bearing 13 at the ink feed end has a threaded bolt arrangement whereby on actuation of a lever 26 the rail 10 is moved axially to disengage the contacting surfaces. The threaded bolt arrangement comprises a bolt 27 having a head portion 28 and a threaded portion engaging an arcuate member 31 rotatable relative to the rail 10 but held against longitudinal movement relative thereto. The head portion abuts an adjustable stop 29 fixed to the frame 14 whilst the thread carries the lever 26. The end face of the bearing 13 has recesses 30, 34 and the head portion 28 of the bolt is so cut that it is only possible to operate the lever 26 when the rail is in either of its limiting positions. On releasing the clamping means 25 and then swinging the lever anticlockwise from the position of Fig. 4a, the cutout part of the bolt head is moved opposite the relevant recess 30 or 34 simultaneously with the axial movement of the rail as the head reacts against the stop 29. The rail may then be turned as required, prior to once again abutting the faces of the bush and the plate by returning the lever 26 to the position of Fig. 4a.

A lubricating apparatus, e.g. for lubricating cylinders and needles of textile machines, comprises a lubricant container 1 (Fig. 1) to which is fixed a cylinder block having cylinders 17 as shown (Fig. 2) in each of which is a piston 21 (Fig. 4), with an axial hole 21a therethrough and having a valve 21b, 22, and from which lead conduits 7 to deliver oil from the cylinders 17 through the container bottom 16, a control rod 4 fixed to a flange 23 attached to the pistons 21, and a device which may include a cam 25 for adjusting the amount of oil delivered, connected as shown (Fig. 1). In the form shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 4 the axes of the cylinders lie on a circle and the flange 23 is circular. The device comprises an arm 26 (Fig. 11) the oscillations of which are converted into rotation of the shaft 24 which has a stepped cam 25 thereon to move the rod 4 vertically, the amount of lubricant delivered being measured by the rotation of the shaft and the timing of the deliveries being controlled by the shape of the cam steps. The control rod 4 may be moved by a cam having the shape of a right hexagonal prism carrying cone-headed pins, adjustably screwed to the prism faces, which allow adjustment of the stroke of the pistons and of the number of oil deliveries per cam revolution (Fig. 13). The container 1 may be divided into compartments which may contain different lubricants. In another form (Fig. 17) the control rod 4 is connected to a number of flanges 23, one joined to each piston 21, by a U-shaped bracket 39 so as to move all the flanges 23 downward together, each cylinder containing a spring 36 to lift the pistons 21 on raising the rod 4. Upward movement of each flange 23 is limited by an adjustable stop 9 to control amount of oil in cylinder 17. In still another form (Fig. 18) downward movement of the pistons 21 is obtained by rocker arms 43 acting directly on the conduits 7 through rods 45 and driven by cams 40, made up of cam plates, fixed to a common shaft 41.
