Title: Improvements relating to Machines for Soldering the Lids or Covers to Non circular Tins Cans and the like.
Inventor: WALLER WILLIAM
IPC: B23K1/18
Filed: 1909-11-19
Granted: 1911-01-19
Abstract: 26,903. Waller, W. Nov. 19. Soldering.-In a machine for soldering the lids on non-circular cans, tins, &c., of the type in which the can &c. is revolved under a stationary soldering-iron in order to receive the solder on the whole of its periphery, the workholders are mounted in sliding plates or rocking or transversely moving arms. In the form shown in Fig. 1 the can T, which is presented to the soldering-iron H, is mounted in a chuck on a spindle G<1> which is carried by a slide B moved in guides A<1> by a grooved cam C, which is rotated by bevel - gear from the shaft E<1>. The spindle G' passes through a slot in the frame A and is rotated by the shaft E<1> through bevel gear F, G mounted in a sliding bracket. In another form, Fig. 5, the cam C<1> is mounted on the chuck spindle D, which is carried by a lever B pivoted at B<2> and oscillated by contact with a stop X, against which it is pressed by a spring P<1>. The chuck is rotated by spur-gears carried by the lever B and driven by a bevel-wheel engaging a bevelpinion on the pivot B<2>. The can body itself may take the place of a cam. One or more chucks with sliding plates or arms may be used. According to the Provisional Specification a parallel movement obtained by levers may be used instead of the sliding plate.

Title: Improvements in Barrel Locks and their Keys.
Inventor: TOURTEL JOHN MESNY
IPC: E05B29/00
Filed: 1909-12-03
Granted: 1910-08-25
Abstract: 28,286. Tourtel, J. M. Dec. 3. Locks, revolving-barrel. - In barrel-locks of the type described in Specification 23,424/09, provision is made for the use therewith of a master key. The slots in the sliders are stepped, as shown in Fig. 6, the master' key being adapted to act on one part thereof and the ordinary key on the other part. The keys are each provided with a guide-rib a for engaging notches in distance-pieces, and with a projecting piece b for the purpose of guiding the operating-edge d against the corresponding portion of the slider slots, the projections b being on opposite sides on the master and ordinary keys, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, so that the operating-edges of the keys are caused to occupy different positions when inserted. The slots in all the sliders are of uniform length to equal the depth of the key bit; and the sliders are thereby made interchangeable to allow a quick setting-up or changing of the combination. In the lock shown, the combination is formed from four kinds of sliders A, G, D, J, Fig. 6, the sliders A, J, by reversal, each being adapted for two positions, and the slide D for four positions.

Title: Improvements in Cans, Tins and the like and Opening Devices therefor.
Inventor: DELPEUT LEON
Filed: 1910-02-26
Granted: 1910-12-31
Abstract: 4911. Delpeut, L. Feb. 26. Opening by tearing.-In tin boxes, cans, &c. that are opened by tearing away one side of the box, proper tearing is ensured by inserting a straight, curved, or V-shaped guide-piece 4 between the end of the tearing-tongue 7 and the inner face of the side that is torn away, as illustrated in Fig. 3, which shows part of the inside of the cover of a tin box. The tongue is secured inside the box by simple fusion of the metal, and is passed through a slit 5 to the outside, the slit being also closed by fusion or by employing a little solder on the outside. No further means for securing the guide in place are required, so that the inside of the box may be kept quite free from solder. In a modification, the guide and tongue may be soldered together and fixed to the box by solder. The tongue and guide may also be formed from one piece of metal, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9. The invention may be applied to boxes that are not provided with the weakened lines 2 or ribs 3 to guide the tearing.

Title: Improvements in Speed Changing Gear of Traction and other Self-moving Engines.
Inventor: BRAMBLE WILLIAM HENRY
IPC: F16H61/02
Filed: 1911-07-22
Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 16,843. Bramble, W. H., and Livens, F. H. July 22. Interlocking.-Comprises interlocking means for traction engines having two- or three-speed gearing. Figs. 5 and 6 show the invention applied to a three-speed gear. The sliding gear-wheels D, W, W<1> are operated by forks F, F<1>, F<2> respectively, the forks F<1>, F<2> sliding on a shaft S to which the fork F is fixed. A lever U pivoted to the fork F' is connected to the fork F<2> by a link V and to the fork F by toggle links L, L<1>, this arrangement ensuring that when any two of the forks are fixed, the third can be moved by a rod R. A fixed bracket B carries a shaft X on which plates C<1>, C<2> are fixed. The plate C<1> is adapted to engage with the end of a rod E<1> moving with the fork F, and with a projection P<1> carried by the fork F<1>. The plate C<2> is adapted to engage with a projection P<2> on the fork F<2>. The shaft X is operated by a rod 0 connected to the plate C'. When the rod O is in its central position as shown, the plate C' is opposite the rod E' and projections P<1> and consequently locks the forks F, F<1>, so that when the rod R is moved away from the crankshaft the fork F<2> is moved to the right, its projection P<2> entering a notch in the plate C<2> thereby locking the shaft X and rod O. Similarly, when the rod O is moved to one of its extreme positions, the projection P<2> is locked by the plate C<2> and the plate C' passes either under the rod E', thus releasing the fork F, or over the projection P<1> releasing the fork F'. In each case, when the rod R is operated and one of the wheels put into gear, the shaft X is locked until the wheel is taken out of gear again. In the case of a two-speed gear, the toggle-link L is pivoted directly to the fork F', and the plate C<2> is dispensed with.
