Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for the Manufacture of Hollow Building Blocks.
Inventor: BALG BERNHARD
IPC: B28B3/26
Filed: 1908-09-02
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 18,061. Balg, B. Sept. 2, 1908, [Convention date]. Extrusion machines; processes.-Hollow building- blocks, completely closed on all sides, are obtained by severing a bar of clay formed of alternating hollow and solid portions, the bar being produced in an extrusion press fitted with movable cores. The core 12, Fig. 6, which normally produce a hollow clay bar, is mounted upon a revoluble shaft 26, and by means of a handle 27 is turned at intervals into the position shown in dotted lines, a solid bar being then formed. Modifications are described in which the core is slidably removed by means of a lever or rack and pinion. To produce blocks with very thin end-walls, a strip of material 5, Fig. 1, is removed.

Granted: 1910-12-19
Abstract: 29,633. Cuss, C. T. Dec. 18. Liquid raised up to solid.-To enable gas at high pressure to be produced without increasing the area of the water-tank a, the two or more generators c are fitted in apertures c' in the displacement gas-reservoir b. Gas passes into and from this reservoir by a pipe h<2> provided with an aperture b<2> close to the top of the chamber b; and the bottom of the chamber is perforated to allow for the passage of water. The generators comprise an inner cylinder c<2>, which telescopes in an outer cylinder c, the two parts being secured together by a stirrup g, pivoted to the outer cylinder, and flattened at the part g<2> to grip the inner cylinder. The carbide is supported on a perforated plate d<1> or wire-grating, and to allow for slight fluctuations in pressure, this is supported on a distance-piece d, while a weight f or the equivalent on the top of the carbide forces the spent material through the plate d<1>. Gas passes off from the generator by a pipe h' provided with a cock i<2>, and connected by a union h<4> with an extension connected to a branch from the pipe h<2>. A cock i4 is provided in each branch, and air and explosive gas can escape through a cock i<1> in the extension. The base of the displacement-chamber and the water-tank may be enlarged to form a better base.

Granted: 1910-06-30
Abstract: 1040. Giesserei und Maschinenfabrik Oggersheim P. Sch³tze & Co. July 20, 1909, [Convention date]. Direct air or steam pressure apparatus, automatic.-Relates to improvements in the apparatus described in Specification 23,175/08, and consists in so arranging the electric contacts that the pressure-medium valve is held open by its electro-magnet without the use of auxiliary contact mechanism. In the arrangement shown, a contact-plate 15 is connected to the lead 16, and has a contact 20 extending into a tube 22, closed at the top. When the level of the liquid rises to the plate 15, the circuit is closed, and the valve 7 is opened to admit pressure fluid to the chamber. This forces the liquid up the dip-pipe 22, and makes contact with the wire 20, which contact is maintained until the level of the liquid falls below the end of the dip-pipe 22.

[Addition to 29,273/09.] Colour photography; screens.-Relates to an alternative method for carrying into effect the method for making three-colour screens described in the parent Specification. As the colours used for obtaining the screen are capable of being precipitated by one another, and the precipitation formed on the surface prevents the penetration of the superposed colour, the screen can be prepared by successive impressions on the permeable layer of the chosen colours. The last colour may be applied by the complete immersion of the plate, and entirely fills the interstices left by the other colours. The colours used can be thickened as necessary to a suitable consistency.

Granted: 1911-06-26
Abstract: 7516. Brooks, A. A. March 26. Movable-abutment type; valve-gear; working- fluid supply.-A rotary engine or pump comprises two intersecting annular chambers, each chamber being provided with an arc-shaped piston which acts also as a rotary abutment for the other chamber. Two arc-shaped pistons 20, 21 each embracing 180 degrees and bevelled at the ends 22, are arranged to rotate in two annular chambers 17, 16, the planes of which may be inclined to one another. A shaft 10, passing through the common centre of these chambers, carries two bevel-wheels 24, 25 which gear with the racks 23 on either side of the pistons. By this arrangement each piston, as it rotates, drives the shaft and acts as an abutment for the other piston. Two inlet ports S, Y, and two exhaust ports X, Q, are provided for each chamber. A valve 30 reverses the functions of these ports. The bevel-wheels 24, 25 act as cut-off valves. In a modification each piston compresses a gaseous charge into an external combustion chamber which delivers the exploded charge through a spring-loaded valve to the working chamber.

Abstract: 29,537. Saun, P. E. van. March 3, [Convention date]. Roller mills.-An axial movement is imparted to one of the rolls of a roller crushing-mill by means of pitmen 17, Figs. 3 and 5, operated by a transverse crank or cam shaft 18 which is driven through gearing from the shaft of the roller. The cross-head-14, to which the pitmen 17 are connected, is mounted on a reduced portion of the roll shaft, and is prevented from turning by means of a projecting arm 20 which engages a stationary guide. A wheel 22 on the shaft of the roller meshes with a wheel 23 on a shaft 24 carrying a worm 26, which gears with a wheel 27 on the transverse shaft 18, and one of the wheels 22, 23 is made wider than the other so as to remain in gear during the reciprocations of the roll. The mechanism is enclosed in an oil bath 28 having a cover 29. To allow the roll and its shaft to be readily removed, the pitmen 17 have upwardly-turned open bearing- recesses 30 with bushings 33 in which the ends of the yoke 14 are journaled, and the bushings are clamped in place by bolts 31 and provided with cotters.

Atmospheric gas burners ; gas supply.-In apparatus for generating steam and heating water &c. of the kind described in Specification 4362/10, in which a mixture of gas and air is burnt in tubes packed with refractory material, the gas and air supply arrangements consist of a flat gas-chamber C with openings M', in each of which is fitted a mixing-tube M connected to the fire-clay plug in the corresponding boiler tube by a smaller pipe R. A gas nipple N controlled by a valve N<1> projects into each mixing- tube. In a modified arrangement, the gaschamber C is a plain flat box arranged some distance away from the ends of the mixing- tubes, and the gas-nipples N are straight. In starting up the boiler, the gas is allowed to burn at the jets N until the material near the plug P becomes incandescent. The gas supply is then momentarily turned off by the valves N<1>, or the flame is extinguished by moving the gaschamber C bodily towards the mixing-tubes. On restarting, the gaseous mixture burns in the refractory material.

Abstract: 20,636. Schi÷dt, F. V. Sept. 17, 1910, [Convention date]. Detecting faults in insulation; magnetic tests; bismuth conductor in magnetic field. - An abnormal current distribution in the armature of a dynamo or similar machine, in operation, is caused, through the magnetic disturbance associated with it, to operate a visual or audible signal or recording-device. A short-circuit or other abnormality in the armature coil b, Fig. 2, causes a magnetic oscillation in passing under the shoe e of the magnet d, which oscillation may be announced by a telephone receiver without a coil, the magnet of which is placed directly on the pole-shoe, as shown. Or a magnetic bar f, Fig. 3, pivoted at e, may be caused to oscillate, by attraction, and turn a ratchetwheel i, which operates a shifting-plate &c. or closes a contact in a lamp or other signalling- circuit. The teeth may be discontinued over part of the wheel so that it will only turn sufficiently to operate the relay &c. In an alternative form, Fig. 7, the abnormal current induces an alternating current in a coil j placed in the air-gap, on the pole, or over the armature end, as shown, this current operating a relay and signal. A relay suitable for exposure to vibrations is shown in Fig. 10, and consists of a laminated iron core u which is normally held by a spring v at an inclination of forty-five degrees to the plane of the coil k. Passage of a current through the coil tilts the iron vertically, causing it to complete a circuit at x. The variations in resistance of a current-carrying bismuth conductor, or the above-described arrangements embodying an induced current, may be caused to give a record of the magnetic conditions pertaining to the machine, as by means of an automatic voltage-recorder. Several of the devices may be used on a single machine and connected in parallel to a single indicating-apparatus.
