Title: Gas-retort Drawing Machinery
Inventor: GOULDEN THOMAS
Filed: 1901-10-31
Granted: 1902-09-25
Abstract: 21,936. Goulden, T., and Johnson, J. C. Oct. 31. Gas retorts, discharging. An addition is made to existing drawing-machines so that the coke is carried to the rear of the machine, and discharged at a suitable point through the stage floor. The rake rod B is provided with a loose or feathered rake head A at the tail end. As the rake rod is withdrawn from the retort, the head A engages with the coke already in a trough K, fixed parallel to and under the beam carrying the rake rod, and sweeps it to the back of the machine. Several modifications are described and illustrated. In the first, a sliding rake head, in addition to that shown, is provided. In a second, a T-section rake rod carries one or more rake heads. In a third, an endless chain is connected both to a rake head and to a rake rod. In a fourth, the coke is carried by a small truck connected to an endless chain. In a fifth, which is not illustrated, an endless belt or other conveyer is used instead of rake heads.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Longitudinally Dividing Strips of Rattan.
Inventor: MACKENZIE JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1902-02-28
Granted: 1902-06-12
Abstract: 5130. Mackenzie, J. W., [Larsson Whip Co.]. Feb. 28. Cutting-up, splitting, and slicing.-Relates to a machine for cutting taper strips of rattan, wood, or the like suitable for whip sections. The end of a sector-shaped strip of rattan is placed between gripping-jaws on a slide 1, which is reciprocated by a cam 29 acting through a lever x and rod z. The forward movement of the slide 1 pushes the end of the strip between the first pair of a series of feed-rollers i, l, through which it is drawn and pushed through a \/-guide on to the edge of a knife 17. This knife is mounted on a slide 26, which is traversed by the cam 29 acting on a roller 30 connected to the slide. The result of these movements is that the knife divides the sectorshaped strip of rattan into two tapering strips. The bottom feed-rollers i are positively driven by toothed gearing, and the upper rollers l are pressed down by springs r acting through bell cranks p. When the strip passes into the V-guide it is pressed down by a spring-pressed pivoted lever, this lever being automatically raised as soon as the end of the strip has left the last pair of feed-rollers. The strip is then pushed forwards by a rod connected to the slide 1.

Granted: 1904-12-15
Abstract: 28,785. Dawson, A. T., and Horne, J. Dec. 31. Smoke, disposing of; ordnance, cleaning.-Jets of compressed air are used for ejecting spent gases from guns when firing against a head wind. The apparatus is shown as applied to a turret-gun in side elevation in Fig. 1, and rear elevation in Fig. 2; Fig. 3 is a plan of the breech-end of the gun. Air compressed by a compressor C is stored in a receiver D, connected by flexible tubing d, and a valve d<1>, with an auxiliary receiver D<1>, in turn connected with a pivoted nozzle E, through a second port in the valve d<1>, and flexible tubing dx. The nozzle E is turned on a pivot e into the chamber of the gun as the breech is opened, by means of a coiled spring e' surrounding a spindle e<1> provided at either end with pinions e', e<3>, the former being in gear with a pinion e<5> on the nozzle E, and the latter with a rack-bar e<6>, the end of which is engaged by a stoppin e<7> on the carrier-arm E'. In closing the breech, the pin e<7> drives the rack-bar forward against the action of the spring e<4>, and withdraws the nozzle. The valve d<1> is controlled by a rod d' actuated by a spring lever d<2>; when the gun is in its firing position, the lever is held in the position shown by a stop d<5> on the cradle A<1> and the receiver D<1> is in communication with the receiver D ; on recoil the lever is drawn back by the spring d', and the valve actuated to put the receiver D<1> in communication with the nozzle E, which also contains a valve actuated by the swivelling motion of the nozzle, so that the blast of air is not projected into the bore until the nozzle is swung round to its full extent. The positions of the compressor and receivers may be varied, and, if preferred, the air may be supplied from an independent source. Two modifications are described; in the first, the rack-bar e<6> is connected to the carrier-arm E' by means of a connecting-rod, so that it may be actuated in both directions by the motion of the carrier-arm, and in the second, the pivoted nozzle is replaced by one or more bore-holes in the breech of the gun, arranged tangentially to the axis of the bore, so that the air may have a whirling motion ; the nozzle valve is replaced by a conical valve situated in the pipe dx so that a cam on the underside of the carrier-arm engages a tappet on the valve lever and opens the valve at the right instant.
