Title: Improvements in and relating to the Moulding of Artificial Stone Blocks.
Inventor: STEAD JOHN CHRISTOPHER
Filed: 1907-08-30
Granted: 1908-08-31
Abstract: 19,482. Stead, J. C. Aug. 30. Moulding artificial - stone blocks. - To prevent injury to sand-lime blocks formed in closed moulds, a cushion of sand is provided between the block and the sides of the mould. The sand may be introduced between the walls of the mould and a centrally-disposed thin metal liner or mould, which may be removed or left in the outer rigid mould. In the latter case, the inner mould or liner is perforated for the passage of steam &c. and split to allow for expansion. When the mould is to be used without a metal liner, it may be filled with the mixture of sand and lime simultaneously with the introduction of the sand cushion, the liner being gradually withdrawn as filling proceeds. A layer of sand is placed over the top of the block before closing the mould. According to the Provisional Specification, water may be used as a cushioning-material.

Title: Improvements in Contact Volt-meters or the like.
Inventor: LEITNER HENRY
Filed: 1908-12-19
Granted: 1909-11-18
Abstract: 27,684. Leitner, H. Dec. 19. Switches.-In a contact volt-meter of the type described in Specification No. 5339, A.D. 1907, in which a cogged trident arm a touches one of two contacts e, d according as the pressure applied to a solenoid n is above or below the normal, each contact d, e is arranged to close the circuit of one of two side electro-magnets b, c, which attracts one or more flexible contacts f against the core of the side magnet and thereby closes the circuit of the corresponding relay device j, k. The winding g of an electro-magnet h, which attracts the cog l to centre the lever a, is simultaneously put into circuit, or resistances in series with it are cut out, in order that the central pull may be increased to counteract the pull due to the side magnets b, c. These side magnets preferably have a minimum of hysteresis and remanent magnetism, and the centring-magnet h has a maximum thereof. A quick break is thereby obtained between the contact f and the core of the side magnet when the arm a is returned to its normal position ; the centring- magnet h retains its additional magnetism for a longer time and thus prevents hunting. Alternatively, the additional magnetism of the centring- magnet may cause a stop, braking, or friction device to come into operation so as to be actuated sluggishly on the withdrawal of the excitation and impede the passage of the contact arm beyond the zero position. Two instruments may be employed, one of which acts on a rise of pressure and the other on a fall of pressure, a mechanical stop being provided in the balance position ; or a dash-pot may be employed.

Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 21,896. Wood, H. A. W. Sept. 28, 1908, [Convention date]. Stereotype; printing-surfaces.-Relates to apparatus for trimming, cooling and drying curved stereotypes of the kind described in Specifications 22,419/06 and 22,420/06, and consists in applying the cooling-fluid to the inside face only. The plate 3, on being received from the casting- apparatus, is placed on a saddle 5 against a stop 12, which is depressed at intervals by a cam on the cutter-shaft 10 to allow the plate to move by gravity over the antifriction rollers 2 into the water-jacketed shaving-arch 16. A spring bar 20 prevents the plate from striking the cam-operated stop 17 with unnecessary force. The rollers 2 on opposite sides of the arch are carried respectively by the support 21 and clamp 22, Fig. 5. The support 21 is operated by a sector 28 on a shaft 27 rocked by a cam on the shaft 10. The clamp 22 is pressed upwards by springs 39, and is depressed to receive or release the plate by links 36 and cranks 35 on the shaft 34, rocked by a cam 30 on the shaft 10. The horizontal diameter of the arch 16 is slightly less than that of a plate, and the plate is sprung inwards, as it is being clamped or unclamped, by levers 42 pivoted on the support 21 and clamp 22 and provided with rollers 48 kept in engagement with stationary cams 47 by springs 46. After the plate has been trimmed, the stop 17 is depressed and the plate travels on to a hollow cylindrical saddle 58, from which cooling-water is supplied to the concave face of the plate. The surface of the saddle is provided with grooves 61, down which the cooling-water flows. The plate then passes on to the drying-device, where a brush driven at high speed by gearing from the shaft 10 removes the moisture from the interior of the plate.

Inventor: ROYLE JOHN JAMES
IPC: B66B9/04

Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 9019. Hoyle, J. J. April 14. Reels. - Comprises a construction of drum, described in connexion with hydraulic lifting- apparatus, whereby the diameter of the drum is automatically varied in accordance with the load. The drum is suspended by two ropes f and is also counterbalanced by two ropes h which pass over head sheaves i and to which the load is attached. The hoisting - ram is connected to two ropes g, which are coiled round the smaller diameter b<2> of the drum. The drum b<2> is made up of a number of sliding segments which are adapted to be forced outwards, so as to increase the diameter of the drum, by a conical piston q carried on a sliding rod p. The rod is formed with two rams, the smaller l<1> being connected to the pressure main, and the larger l<2> being connected by a pipe d<3> with the hoisting-ram. A valve in the pipe is automatically opened when the load is at its lowest point. The drum is then at its highest point with the ropes g uncoiled, and the hoisting-ram, and with it the ram l<2>, are open to the exhaust so that the small ram l<1> is able to operate the piston q and enlarge the drum to its greatest extent. When pressure is admitted to the hoisting-ram, if the load is not too great, the load is raised before the ram l<2> has time to act, and the valve closes so that the piston remains in its position. If however the load is too great, the ram l<2> is operated and moves the piston to the right until the diameter of the drum is sufficiently reduced. The load is then raised, the valve closes, and the piston is kept in position until the load is at its lowest point and the valve opens again. Specification 23,477/09, [Class 78 (ii), Lifting &c.], is referred to.
