Granted: 1906-09-20
Abstract: 2336. Radford, R. H., [Ges. fuer Foerderanlagen E. Heckel]. Jan. 30. Rope grips for railways, tramways, and the like, which are actuated by the weight of the suspended load or by screw-and-nut mechanism, are arranged so that the traction and supporting ropes are approximately in the same vertical plane, while at the same time the load-suspending bolt and traction rope are brought close to one another. Fig. 2 shows a load-actuated grip having a fixed jaw f<1>, and a pivoted jaw f provided at its lower extremity with a roller e, which is guided in a diagonal slot in a sliding block b. The block supports the shaft a, from which the load is suspended by the hanger a', and which is provided with the usual releasing- rollers h. The weight of the load depresses the block b in the guides c, thereby moving the lower end of the pivoted jaw laterally, and causing the upper end to grip the rope. Fig. 3 shows a grip having its pivoted jaw connected at its lower end to a nut e engaging a screw of quick pitch. A projecting arm n on the end of the screw shaft comes into contact with fixed projections which partially rotate it and thereby release or tighten the grip. A guide-pulley such as o is fitted to the grip, and is preferably mounted on an extension of the fixed jaw f<1> so that it may work in guides p when the carrier-rope takes a curved path.

Title: Improvements in connection with Apparatus for Making Lids, or Covers, with Beaded Rims.
Inventor: CHRISTIAN KUNO
Filed: 1906-11-23
Granted: 1907-11-07
Abstract: 26,638. Christian, K. Nov. 23. Embossing.-In making lids or covers with beaded edges of pasteboard, sheet metal, or gelatin, &c., the drawing-die has a projecting portion b which allows the additional materialfor the beaded rim to be drawn into the die. The edge i of the die a punches out a disk which is then cupped into the form shown in Fig. 4, the portion b of the die being held in the projecting position by an eccentric finger d until the latter enters the matrix g, when the portion b is free to move flush with the remainder of the die a. On reaching the position shown in Fig. 4, the die a and forming-ring l move downwards against the bottom plate. A beaded edge is thus formed, and the forming-ring then moves forward to an ejector s which removes the finished article. In a modification, Fig. 5, the material is cut into strips by rollers a<1> and fed under a stripping-plate b<1>. The punching-die c and cupping-die x move independently. The finished lid is ejected by the air pressure caused in cupping the next blank and knocked off by compressed air from a pipe y. An air passage m prevents the formation of a vacuum.

Patent GB-190629283-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Sole Channeling Machines
Inventor: WEBSTER EDWIN ALMON
Filed: 1906-12-22
Granted: 1907-05-09
Abstract: 29,283. Webster, E. A. Jan. 22, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Channelling.- Relates to solechannelling machines of the class that is adapted to shape the edge of the sole and cut a channel adjacent thereto, and has for its objects to avoid the employment of feeding- devices that will injure the " between substance " of the sole, and also to situate the cutting-devices so that they will hold the edge of the sole against an edge guard, and thus produce a channel that will always be at the same distance from the edge of the sole. As shown in Figs. 1 and 6, a shaft 3, fitted with a friction clutch 8, 9, and journaled in a U -shaped frame 1, is driven from a shaft 12, and has attached to its front end a smooth feed-roller 13, near to which is situated a feed-wheel 16 driven by gearing 14, 15 through an Oldham joint 7 and a continuation of the shaft having its bearings in a bearing-piece 4 pivoted to an upright 6. A casing 17, Fig. 3, is pivoted on a pin 18, and contains a slidable holder 20 which carries two shafts 22, 24, to which are secured pulleys 23, 25 connected by a belt 30. Attached to the shaft 24 is a rotary cutter 26 so situated as to be close to the feed-wheel 16, while on the shaft 22 is secured a pulley driven from the shaft 12. Adjustment of the slide 20, and consequently of the cutter, may be made by means of hand-wheel 33 and screw 31 pressed downwards by a spring 32. An adjustable sole guard 35 is mounted to the right of the feed-roll. The bearing-piece 4 is provided with a dovetail groove to receive a slide 41, which is integral with a depending portion 42. A slide 52, terminating in a nut 56, is adapted to move in this depending portion, and is pressed into its lowest position by a spring 55. Journaled in a sleeve block 62 in the lower portion of the slide 52 is a shaft 57 with an eccentric portion 64, Fig. 13, driven by belt 46 and gearing 48, 49, 59, 58 from the shaft 12. This eccentric reciprocates a knifeholder 65 in a vertical plane perpendicular to the face of a gauge 35. The obliquity of the path of the knife may be adjusted by adjusting the sleeve 62, and the depth of the channel is regulated by adjusting the knife longitudinally in the knife block. To disengage the work after cutting, a treadle 80, Fig. 7, is depressed, thus giving a vertical motion to a rod 68 and producing sliding between a slot at the upper end of the rod and a pin 70 attached to the slide 41. The knife is in this way drawn clear of the work, and, on further depression of the treadle, a stop 72 on a sleeve 71 is brought into engagement with a projection 73 on the slide 20, with consequent removal of the cutter 26 from the work. Finally, the bearing-piece 4 is raised by the engagement of the bottom of the slot with a pin 74. This raises the feed-wheel 16 and completely releases the work. When it is desired simply to raise the cutter 26, a lever 79 is depressed and the sleeve 71 brought into operation without the use of the rod 68. A spring 75 keeps the rod 68 in its lowest position.

Title: Process and Apparatus for the Electrolysis of Alkali Chlorides or the like.
Inventor: BILLITZER JEAN
Filed: 1907-04-02
Granted: 1908-01-16
Abstract: 7757. Billitzer, J. April 2. Chlorine hydrogen.-Relates to a process and apparatus for the electrolysis of alkali chlorides with continuous circulation of liquid over horizontal electrodes separated by a diaphragm of special construction. In the apparatus shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a bell 11 closed by a diaphragm 1, 2, rests on the cathode 3 which consists of iron or nickel wire net ; the bell stands in a vessel 10, and inside the bell is the carbon or platinum anode 8 arranged parallel to the cathode. During electrolysis a comparatively dense layer of liquid is formed over the diaphragm, and a comparatively light layer near the anode ; in order to keep this condition constant, fresh liquid is continually introduced by a pipe 12 which extends nearly to the diaphragm ; the liquid reaches the cathode by percolation through the diaphragm and also by passage through a slot and over a dam 5, the caustic soda finally flowing away from the outlet 13, so that the under surface of the cathode is continually washed by fresh liquid. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the dam is replaced by a partition 14 and an orifice 13 at a suitable height in the wall of the bell. In order to assist in the maintenance of the dense layer near the diaphragm, a chamber 9, Fig. 2, may be provided, this chamber being filled with solid salt. The diaphragm consists of a layer of asbestos cloth 1 supporting a layer 2 made by settling a suspended mixture of barium sulphate, or alumina, and asbestos wool in a strong solution of salt ; the permeability of this diaphragm is varied as desired by altering the relative proportions of the asbestos wool and the barium sulphate or alumina. In small apparatus the asbestos cloth is fixed to the bell, in larger apparatus the cathode net is fixed to the bell. In order to allow removal of the diaphragm without taking out the bell, the lid and the wall 14, Fig. 3, are made removable ; the asbestos cloth is clamped to the bell by means of a frame 18 and wedges. To allow easy exit for the hydrogen evolved, the cathode may be curved and abut against channels 7, Fig. 1, which are provided with openings for the escape of the gas ; or the cathode is arranged with a slight upward slope. Or the hydrogen may be collected by providing the outer vessel with a cover 15, Fig. 3, and an outlet 17 ; the joint may be made tight by a layer of liquid 16. The hydrogen may be collected as such, or may be caused to combine with the chlorine to yield pure hydrochloric acid.
