Title: Improvements in Foundry Moulding Machines.
Inventor: KURZE WILHELM
IPC: B22C15/24
Filed: 1912-09-20
Granted: 1913-11-20
Abstract: 6067. Kurze, W. Sept. 20, 1912. Moulding-machines; mould materials.-Moulding- machines in which the sand is forced into the moulds by compressed air are suspended from, and travel on the lower flange on an I-beam by means of a carriage comprising a disk 10, Fig. 1, with idle wheels 12 and driving-wheels 12<a> geared to a handwheel 24 within convenient reach of the operator. A framework 42 is suspended by wheels 30 and is rotatable by gearing 29 from a hand crank 25. Sand is sifted at 1 and elevated at 2 for delivery to a container 3 through a telescopic pipe 55 to allow for vertical adjustment of the container by means of the hand-wheel 31, worm-gear 37, and lifting- chain 40. The container is rotatably mounted at 50 in its supporting-frame. A modified machine has a rotary sifter 1<a> with inclined edges over which the lumps pass to a channel from which they are swept by an arm 63 to a discharge opening 65. The screened sand is carried by compressed air at 66 to the container. The sifter is driven by a turbine 61. The ejector-nozzle 5 is suspended from an auxiliary carriage supported by projecting rails from the main frame, and a balanced jockey pulley 99 is provided to carry the flexible connecting-pipe. The various lifting, traversing, and sluing motions are controlled from the nozzle station by hand chains 84. In a further modification, the motions are derived from a common power shaft driven by a reversible turbine.

Abstract: 12,884. Brennan, R. June 4. Fixed-abutment type; back-pressure, reducing; packing drums, vanes, &c.-In a rotary engine or pump having a diametrical outwardly-sliding vane 8, one end of the vane is provided with grooves 12, Figs. 2 and 8, to enable the working - fluid to pass this end of the vane and so avoid detrimental trapping in the cylinder between the two ends of the vane. The vane is provided with a spring-pressed or fluid - pressed packing- piece 9. The bearing- blocks 14 of the rotor may be fitted with packing-strips 28, 29, Fig. 10, pressed by pressure fluid admitted to ducts 30 by an annular recess 31 registering with a casing port. Springs 32 may be provided in addition or alternatively. The abutment may be packed by a fluid-pressed strip 11 set obliquely with respect to rotor axis. Alternatively the strip 11 may be fixed and the rotor resiliently pressed against it. The rotor may be cast in halves. Three engines, each with its vane advanced 120 degrees with respect to its neighbour, may be connected in series and coupled to the same shaft.

Patent GB-191323967-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Applying Transfer Stamps to Fabrics.
Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
IPC: D06H1/02
Filed: 1913-10-22
Granted: 1914-07-02
Abstract: 23,967. Haddan, R., [Kaumagraph Co.]. Oct. 22. Feeding and registering webs.-In a machine for applying transfer stamps to fabrics, particularly to continuous lengths of fabrics passing through cloth-measuring, rolling, and like machines, the stamp-carrying tape and the impression devices, one member of which is heated electrically or otherwise, are moved practically in unison with the fabric during the transfer operation, and the stamp-tape is given, in addition, an intermittent movement between the transfer operations to bring fresh transfers into position. The main shaft b of the machine is rotated by gearing from the measuring drum or other part so that the circumferential speed of the disks f mounted thereon and also of the disk f<1>, coupled to the disk f and mounted loosely on the sleeve d, is equal to the speed of the fabric which passes under a pressure roll i'. Surrounding the shaft b and secured to the bracket c<1> is a stationary sleeve d carrying brackets c<10Î> and c<11> for supporting a spindle i<1> adjustably carrying the heated segment i, which is driven through gearing i<6>, i<7>, i<9> at a speed equal to that of the fabric. The stamp-tape o is fed over the edges of the disks f, f<1>, and is pressed at suitable intervals by the hot segment i against the fabric so that the stamp is transferred thereto. The strip o is unwound from a roll carried in a yoke e forming an extension of the shaft b. The yoke e adjustably carries a spindle having adjustable washers, between which the strip roll is mounted to turn with the desired friction as the strip passes to the stamping devices over a guide-roll e<5>. Guides f<6> pivotally mounted on the boss f<10>, as shown in Fig. 6, keep the strip central, and are simultaneously adjustable through links f<14> and a screw f<18>. The strip o then passes through feeding-rolls g<13>, g<14> into a receiver g<4>, all the strip mechanism turning with the shaft b. The rolls g<13>, g<14> are geared to a bevel-wheel g<10> and, normally, when the strip is not being fed, the rotation of the whole mechanism about the shaft b turns a bevel-wheel g<9> loose on the sleeve d and this through a pinion g<7> drives a brake drum g<5>. At intervals, in order to cause the rolls g<13>, g<14> to revolve and feed the strip, the motion of the drum g<5> is stopped as follows. Attached to the shaft b are a non-adjustable tappet h<20> and an adjustable tappet h<30>. These engage respectively with pins h<21>, h<31> on a vertical shaft h<5> having a face-cam h<6>. When the tappet h<20> engages the pin h<21>, the cam h<6> lifts and causes a lever h<9> to apply a brake h to the drum g<5>, thus causing the strip o to be fed ; when the strip has been fed through the right distance to bring a fresh transfer into position the tappet h<30> causes the brake h to be released and the feed of the strip o is stopped.

The signal is given by one of a number of levers 14 connected to various parts of the mine, which levers engage under the pin of a crank 12, causing a link 13 to raise a lever 4 and lift up the plate 1 one tooth for each pull. Tue cam-track is so formed that actuation of the lever 4 while the cylinder 11 is up is accompanied by progressive movement of the plate 1, while when the cylinder 11 is down, the plate 1 is first zeroized and then is progressively raised. A plate 21 suspended pendulum-wise bears the " men " indication "3," and is adapted to be released and exposed by the raising of a latch 23 by a projection 24 on the plate 1, and to be returned sideways out of sight by a cam 21<a> on the plate 1 when this is further raised. A lever 18 having an arm 19 engageable with a collar on the rod 7 retracts the detent 6 and zeroizes the plate 1 after the winding begins, and also rocks the plate 23 out of sight. Disks 15, connected by slotted arms 16 to the levers 14 and presenting characters registering with an aperture, indicate which lever 14 has been actuated.

Abstract: 3145. Petit Le Brun, A. Jan. 31, 1914, [Convention date]. Pistons; piston packing.-A piston is constructed in two parts, both of which function as pistons, the parts being capable of relative movement in order to impart an increased pressure to plastic packing placed between the parts. The piston may be used free or attached to a rod, and is applicable to motors, pumps, compressors, shock - absorbers, railway and artillery brakes, hydraulic transmission apparatus for motor-vehicles, &c. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the piston comprises a part 2 with a trunk 5 entering a recess 7 in the other part 1. Pressure acting on the outer surfaces of the parts 1, 2 compresses plastic packing 8 placed between the parts. The space 7 may be enlarged by forming the end of the trunk 5 hollow. Escape of the packing 8 is prevented by packings 10, 16, 17, which are compressed by junk plates 12, 18. The plate 12 is secured hy a bayonet-joint 13, and is acted upon to compress the packing by the external pressure, or otherwise. The plate 18 is acted upon by the pressure of the packing 8, and is formed with a ridge 19 entering a recess in the part 1 in order to impart an increased pressure to the packing 16, 17. Alternatively, the packings 10, 16, 17 with their junk plates may be replaced by cup-leathers. In modifications, the trunk 5 is formed with a piston end working in the recess 7, and passes through a stuffing-box in the part 1, or projections on the parts 1 and 2 are connected by bellows.
