Title: Improvements in Power Hammers, or Forging Apparatus more especially intended for use in Chain Making.
Inventor: LELONG EMILE
IPC: B21J7/24
Filed: 1911-08-29
Granted: 1912-08-29
Abstract: 19,326. Lelong, E. Aug. 29, 1910, [Convention date]. Forging chains; power hammers.-In a pumppiston hammer suitable for making chains as described in Specification 1074/04, the hammer cylinder is arranged to be vertically adjustable and so controlled that the tup reciprocates only when the cylinder is in its lower position. The port of the hammer cylinder is, in all positions, in communication with a channel 18, 19 leading to the regulating-valve 50. A three-armed lever 42 is connected to the hammer cylinder 25 by links 40, and by a rod 47 to an hydraulic or compressed-air piston (not shown), situated at 48, and bears against a combined air and spring buffer 58 which takes the weight of the hammer 34 &c. in the lowest position of the cylinder 25 shown in Fig. 1. In this position the hammer reciprocates, but, if the lever 51 is operated, it first turns the valve 50 causing the hammer to cease reciprocating, and then, by actuating the valve-rod 54, causes the piston-rod 47 to turn the lever 42 and raise the hammer cylinder. The hammer 34 may have a snug 38 to prevent it from turning. An outlet valve 68 opened by the handle 72 is provided.

Abstract: 26,655. Ritter, F. Nov. 28. Surgical, dental, and like seats; seat adjustments; rests, back and foot.-In dental, surgical, and other chairs having adjustable backs, particularly of the kind described in Specification 7490/05, a back-rest is mounted on the adjustable back in such a manner that it is automatically moved towards or away from the back as this is adjusted. In the dental chair shown, the back 3 is pivoted to the seat frame 1 by arms 4, and is fitted with a back-rest 9 hinged at 10 to a part 6 adjustable on the back. An intermediate member 11 is hinged at 12 to the back and slides on a rod 15 pivoted to the seat-frame. The back-rest is fitted with a pivoted rack 18 having a roller 19 bearing on the part 11, and with a pawl 21 adapted to engage the rack for the initial adjustment of the back-rest. The adjustment of the back as a whole may be effected by a clamp arranged in a recess 14 in the member 11 and adapted to grip the rod 15. The clamp comprises a split sleeve 23, Fig. 9, in one arm 25, Fig. 7, of which is pivoted a member 26 having its end 27 in a slot in the side of the member 11 as shown. A screwed stud 29 arranged in a split lug 28 on the part 26 and retained by another stud 30 regulates the gripping action of the arm 24 of the clamp. The arm 25 is normally pressed upwards against the rod 15 by a spring 31, but may be released by means of a lever 33 held in a normal position by a spring 35. To prevent a complete withdrawal of the rod 15, it is provided with a flanged end 36 adapted to be engaged by a spring bolt 37. In a modified arrangement shown in Fig. 6, the adjustment of the back is effected by means of a similar clamp arranged in a pivoted casing 42 on the seat and engaging a rod 40 pivoted to the lower end of the back. The foot-rest 45, Fig. 13, may be raised by the pressure of the foot of the occupant on an arm 50 on a rocking-shaft 49 having arms 48 adapted to support the footrest. Stops 51 limit the movement of the arms 48. One of the trunnions 47 of the foot-rest is made adjustable by a bolt 53 to facilitate alinement on the chair frame. A head-rest 7 may be carried on a part 8 adjustable on the part 6 of the back.

The frame 6 consists of a #-shaped member of channel iron, which is supported in guides 7 and rests on lugs 8. Slots 18 are formed in the opposite sides of the frame to accommodate nipples 9, Fig. 3, and bolts 10 to which the cutting-wires are attached. The wires are tightened by nuts 11 working on the bolts 10 and are adjustable within the slots 18, being clamped in position by cross-bolts 19. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which the distance between the wires is adjusted by pivoting the frame 6 and adjusting its inclination by means of pins 26 engaging holes 27 in a quadrant 25. In this modification, the table 3 works over a bed 22 which is carried by links 24 and also pivoted to the frame 6 at 23. According to the Provisional Specification, the table may be fixed and the cutters movable; also interchangeable cutting-frames may be provided,

Abstract: 7968. Cuvelier, A. June 13, 1912, [Convention date]. Drawing-appliances.-Relates to apparatus used in drawing on an horizontal plane the representation of an object as seen from a fixed point, of the type in which the object is disposed adjacent to a frame arranged at the rear of a drawing-board and is viewed through an eye-plate mounted at the front of the board. According to the present invention, mechanism capable of longitudinal and lateral adjustment. over the drawing-board is provided for reproducing the object. The apparatus comprises a table or board 1 carrying the paper, a vertical frame 12 through which the object is viewed, a ruler 14 arranged at right-angles to the frame 12 and provided with a pencil-carrying cursor 19, a vertical standard 21 fixed at the rear end' of the ruler and carrying a slidable cursor 22, a rod 15 attached to the ruler 14 and movable transversely over guide-pulleys 16, 17, and an eye-plate 5 mounted on a support 7 pivoted at the front of the table 1. The cursor 22 is connected to the head of the standard 21 by a rubber thread 24 and to the pencil-carrying cursor 19 by a thread passing around a pulley 20. In using the apparatus, the cursor 22 is made to follow the outlines of the object by moving the pencil-carrying cursor 19, which, having the same movements as the cursor 22, so transfers the representation to the paper. A roller 23 at the end of the ruler 14 facilitates the reciprocatory movements of the ruler. A movable rod 13 attached to the frame 12 is used in conjunction with the eye-plate 5 in order to keep the position of the eye constant. The apparatus is useful in the study of perspective and other drawings, in the reproduction of pictures, views, plans, &c., and the reduction of pictures &c. to a given scale.
