Abstract: 24,677. Roughsedge, W. H. Nov. 6. Moulding walls in situ. - Moulds and collapsible cores for use in casting concrete walls in situ, have adjustable corner members to which the moulding-boards are attached, and are provided with means for moulding the frames of doors, windows, &c. while the wall is being formed. The corner members for the inner and outer walls consist of plates 13<a>, 13 pivoted on pins 12 secured to cores 11 in tubular corner standards, and provided with flanges 14 embracing spaced plates 15 which form sockets for receiving the mouldboards 18. The corner members are secured in position by bolts 20 engaging in sockets in the cores, and the mouldboards are additionally supported by standards 37, engaged by loops 38, 41 connected by a turnbuckle 40. The corner members of the cores C consist of two members 21, having threaded open sockets 23 which are engaged and spread apart by a screw-threaded rod 28. Recesses are formed in. the rear faces of the members 21 to receive plates 29 having projecting lugs 34, by which the plates are spaced apart and secured by removable locking-rods 35 engaging holes in the lugs. The spaces between the plates 29 are divided to form sockets for receiving mouldboards 33 by plates 31 secured to blocks 30 on one side of the plates 29. The boards 33 are held apart by cams 44, which are rotated to allow the core to collapse. The spaces between the sides of the wall mould and the core may be maintained during the casting of the wall by pointed members 36. The mould for forming the frame of the door and window opening is attached to the boards of the wall mould and core by spaced plates 46, 29 respectively arranged in pairs and clamped by screws 50 passing through one plate 46 and engaging a block on the opposite plate, and by screw-threaded rods 53 engaging in threaded overlapping lugs 52 on the plates 29. Extensions of the mould and core are formed by sockets adapted to engage the ends of mouldboards and consisting of spaced plates, those for the core extension being arranged to collapse in a manner similar to the core. The corner members for the mould may be modified by arranging overlapping lugs on the plates forming those members, and pivoting them on a central rod, or by constructing them of angle-plates spaced apart by pairs of angleirons.

Abstract: 1845. Lake, H. W., [Goss Printing Press Co.]. Jan. 23. Cutting and associating apparatus; delivery apparatus.-In an associating-device, particularlv for machines of the kind described in Specification 1775/12, two sheets to be associated are passed one after the other to the same front stops without sliding over each other, preferably by the use of a rising and falling plate 110 which lifts the first sheet while it is against the front stop 55, to allow the second sheet to pass under it. Cam-operated knocking-up devices 96, front stops 55 and rear holding- devices 35 for holding the sheet while it is cut in the centre by the shears 41, and an associating - cylinder 130 for associating the severed parts with other sheets, are also described. The sheets x pass from any source 1, and are guided bv tapes until they abut against the stops 55. The rear holding-device 35 then drops on the back edge of the sheet while it is cut, and the plate 110 is then raised by the cams 118, and carries the front portion of the sheet up with it. The rear portion is then released by the devices 35, and forwarded by the rollers 20, until it has passed beneath the plate 110 to the front stops 55, which arc then lifted to allow the two parts to pass together to the associating-cylinder 130 where they are associated with other matter. Before being cut, the sheets are set against side gauges by joggers 96 mounted on a shaft 97 operated by a cam 102. The plate 110 is mounted in an horizontal strip 111 at the front end, carried by the rods 114 operated by the cams 118 at each side of the machine. In addition to separating the sheets, the plate 110 also serves to de-electrify them, thus avoiding excessive frictional retardation.

Granted: 1913-06-23
Abstract: 12,107. Stewart, W. May 22. [Cognate Application, 26,917/12.] Damping materials in long lengths.-Relates to the general construction of machines for affixing and cancelling adhesive stamps. Rolls of stamps of different denominations are placed on spools 2 mounted in a frame 4 slidable to bring any strip into line with the feeding-pins 19. These are carried by a holder 18 reciprocated on a bar 20 by a slide 23, 24 operated by a bell-crank lever 26, 27, which is rocked by a bar 28 depending from the plate 10. During the rearward movement of the pins 19, they are lifted from the stamp strip by a track 21, which allows them to fall at the end of this movement. The member 28 is connected to the lever 26, 27 by a pin and a slot 44, so that the feeder is moved only at the ends of the upward and the downward movements of the plate 10. A plate 11, normally raised by a spring 12, is provided to press down the envelope and the plate 10, which is supported by a spring 14 in a sliding pillar 13. The end stamp of the strip 3 is projected on to a table 5 through a gap 8 in a pivoted cutter 6, Figs, 1 and 3, which cooperates with a fixed cutter 7, and the cutter 6 is rocked against the action of a spring 17 to sever the stamp by contact with the descending plate 10. The lower edge 9 of the gap 8 in the cutter (i serves to raise the end of the strip to the level of the table 5. Water passes from a tank 47 through pipes 48, 29 to a nozzle 30, Figs. 1 and 4, from which a drop of water is caused to fall on to the end stamp of the strip by turning a cock 34 by means of a wheel 35 and a pawl 36. When the plate 10 is depressed, a rod 40 depending from it depresses the lever 37 of the pawl 36 against the action of a spring 38 and a catch 39 holds the lever down, and when the plate 10 rises, a cam 41 on the rod 40 releases the catch and the spring 38 turns the cock momentarily. The descending plate 10 moves the pipe 29 from above the table 5 by turning it about a pivot 31 against the action of a spring 33. According to Provisional Specification 12,107/12, drops of water are allowed to fall from a reservoir on to the stamps by the admission of air to the reservoir.

Abstract: 18,148. Poetter, Ges. Aug. 14, 1911, [Convention date]. Open-hearth furnaces.-In a regenerative furnace using blast-furnace gas, the waste gases pass in series through a recuperator and a regenerator, while the gaseous fuel and the air for combustion pass in parallel through the recuperator and regenerator, the recuperator being preferably employed for heating the air and the regenerator for heating the gas. As shown in Fig. 3, the waste gases from the furnace a pass through the recuperator band thence by a conduit c through a reversing-valve to either of the regenerators f, from which they escape through passages g to the chimney. Gas passes by way of the reversing-valve to one or other of the regenerators f, and thence to a passage k' communicating with the gas ports l. Fresh air enters by a passage m the recuperator b, from which it escapes into arched spaces n<1>, n<2> and then passes through openings (not shown) in the wall n<3> to air ports arranged between the gas ports l. Specification 14,702/12 is referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a modified form of furnace in which the hearth is of considerable length. The gas after being heated in the regenerative chambers enters a passage C, Fig. 5 (Cancelled), which is provided at each side of the furnace with regulable outlets D, Fig. 6 (Cancelled), leading to a double arched space in the crown of the furnace provided with an auxiliary burner A. Air enters the recuperator through the passage E, and part passes to the main burner and part through adjustable passages F to the space between the double arch for supplying the auxiliary burner. Part of the furnace gases pass through the passage H to the reversing-valve and thence to the regenerator, while the remainder passes through the whole length of the furnace to the recuperator and thence through the reversing valve to the regenerator. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
