Inventor: VANGEL VICTOR VON
IPC: A23N17/02
Filed: 1911-07-28
Granted: 1912-07-29
Abstract: 17,305. Vangel, V. von. July 28. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Measured-quantities apparatus. - In a machine for making mixtures of solid and liquid substances in fixed proportions, particularly adapted for the manufacture of molasses food for cattle, dry substances, viscous liquids, such as molasses, and preservatives in solution are fed to separate measuring - chambers and delivered to a mixing-chamber where they are mixed in a known manner. Moving - chamber apparatus for pulverulent materials. - The dry substances are fed by shovels on an endless band, 10, Fig. 2, to two pairs of cups as 3 pivoted to the framing and actuated by connecting-rods 19, 20, 25, 26 and cranks 24, 27 driven from the main shaft 30. The cups are provided with projecting circular lips 11 to close the apertures in the reservoir 1 when the cups are rotated to discharge their contents into the mixing-troughs 31, 32. The bottoms of the cups are adjustable by rack and pinion to vary their capacity. Fixed-chamber apparatus; varying quantity measured.-The viscous substances are fed from a tank to cylinders 33, 34 provided with reciprocating inlet and outlet slides 35, 36, 37, 38, which are alternately operated by a rocking lever 40 pivoted to a fixed bracket 45 and actuated from a cam-track 46 on a drum 47 driven from the main shaft 30. The materials are alternately sucked in from the reservoir and discharged into the mixing-trough by pistons 51, 52, which are actuated by a connecting-rod 53, Fig. 1, and crank-pin 56 adjustably secured in a groove 57 in a crank-disk 55. The disk is operated from the shaft 48 by bevel-gear 59 and a mutilated spur-wheel on the shaft 60, which rotates a spur-wheel on the crank-disk shaft half a revolution when the slides 35 &c. are at rest, thus causing a single-stroke movement of the pistons 51, 52. Moving-chamber apparatus; varying quantity measured.-The measuring-device for preservatives comprises a cylinder 67, Fig. 4, having a medial partition 68 and rotating in a cylindrical casing 62, provided with inlets 63, 64 and outlets 65, 66. Each cylinder has a port 70, the ports being oppositely placed, and the capacity of each cylinder may be varied by a piston 71 operated by a spindle 73 and handwheel 74.

Title: Improvements in Box Lid Nailing Machines.
Inventor: KING ALFRED STEPHEN
IPC: B27F7/07
Filed: 1911-11-10
Granted: 1912-03-07
Abstract: 25,074. King, A. S. Nov. 10. Nailing, hand tools f o r.-A nailing- machine for nailing-on the lids of boxes made as described in Specification 27,050/10 comprises a standard a, Fig. 4, carrying a nail chuck into which nails are fed by a shoot from a nail hopper m. To give access to the chuck in the event of a nail jamming, one side is formed by a plate e<2> hung on a stud e' and pressed into position by a spring e<5>. Two sides of the chuck are yieldingly pressed towards each other to hold the nail until the hammer b descends. The hammer b is actuated by a hand-operated bell-crank lever k to which it is connected by a link b<2>. The standard a is adjustably supported on baseplates h which rest on the top of the box. The standard may be moved to drive the nails in an inclined direction. At one end of the baseplates, gauge-plates i are adjustably secured by bolts h<9>. The gauge-plates may be set for nailing in any direction or at any distance from the edge of the box. The upper part of the gauge-plate is recessed to take over-hanging box lids. An arm i<2>, Fig. 9, pivoted to the plates i carries an adjustable jaw i<3> to engage the bottom of the box during the nailing operation. The plates h are formed with slots h<11> which act as guides for a slide l<5> operated by a bell-crank l<6> moved by a spring l<9> and a cam k<2> actuated by the lever k. The slide l<5> is connected to a spring jaw l which is thus caused to clamp the box against the gauge-plates at each stroke of the hammer b. The nails are fed past a hand-operated separator comprising a disk o provided with a series of notches of graduated sizes for varying sizes of nails. The disk is moved to bring the required size of notch opposite a race n leading from the hopper and is then clamped to a second disk which can be turned by a finger-plate o<5>. In a modification, the top disk o is replaced by a sliding plate provided with suitable notches. A simplified form of machine without the nail feed and the rear clamp is also described.

Abstract: 1160. Mansfeldleche Kupferschiefer Bauende Gewerkschaft. Jan. 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Lift cages, locking and unlocking.-Retaining-catches for supporting mine cages at the pit mouth or at the charging levels comprise levers 6 pivoted on the walls of the shaft at 5 and resting on the heads of piston-rods or the like. The plunger casings 1 are mounted on strong supports let into the walls of the shaft, and the plungers carry cross-members 3 sliding in vertical guides, and provided with arched bearing- strips of hard bronze which engage the levers 6. The levers carry rollers 8 which bear under tappets 13 on the cage. When there is a difference of level between the cage and the charging place, due to stretching of the suspending-rope, the plungers are operated to lift the cage up to the charging level. Fixed stops limit the top position of the plungers. When the plungers are lowered, the shaft is free. Two or four plunger casings are provided for each conveyer section. The admission of pressure fluid to the plunger cylinders is controlled from a common control 18. In the case of two sections provided with cages, the control is arranged so that the plungers of one section ascend while the plungers of the other section descend. Safetyvalves are provided in the supply pipes.

Inventor: GORDON JOHN WILTON
IPC: B04B1/18
Filed: 1912-08-14
Granted: 1913-04-10
Abstract: 18,652. Gordon, J. W. Aug. 14. Drums.-Liquid is discharged from a centrifugal machine drum A, while in rotation, by a valve J which is operated when required by a piston L or a diaphragm. Normally the valve is closed by centrifugal force, and to open it, liquid is introduced into a channel C' by a pipe D and passes by a pipe G into the cylinder E.
