Title: Improvements in Machinery for Forming Moulds for Casting Metal Pipes.
Inventor: HERBERT FRED
Filed: 1906-08-03
Granted: 1907-05-02
Abstract: 17,541. Herbert, F. Aug. 3. Moulding.- Vertical pipemoulding machines of the type described in Specifications No. 26,786, A.D. 1905, and No. 7043, A.D. 1906, are e improved in details. The socket pattern a, Fig. 2, is actuated t o compress the sand by a flange d on the body pattern, and the amount of motion is adjusted by screws e and an abutment flange f. At the extreme position, spring bolts h pass under and hold the socket pattern .in position and maintain it so held during the withdrawal of the body pattern until projections k release the bolts by arms n, chains m, and bell - cranks l just prior to the withdrawal of the pattern a by stops and chains j. The spigot pattern o is held suspended by chains and is lowered on to the projecting, end of the body pattern, where it is automatically locked by bolts q and weighted bellcranks r. Rods u engage the upper flange of the flask on the descent of the body pattern and release the pattern o when the sand is sufficiently compressed. Weights t normally overcome the weighted bell-cranks and hold the bolts in their retracted position. The sand-compressing cone for the body portion is attached to the lower portion of the measuring-tube instead of forming a part of the body pattern. This cone has its largest diameter slightly greater than that of the body pattern to relieve the pressure on the latter. The spigot pattern is then swung to one side until the measuring, tube is clear of the flask. The cone may, however, be separate from both pattern and measuring-tube, and may fit loosely on to or into the upper portion of the former. In this case, it is lifted away before the spigot pattern is lowered on to the body pattern.

Fig. 2 shows the apparatus in elevation, and Fig. 3 shows the construction of the collapsible bracket carriers. The elevator is mounted on a truck 1, the wheels of which may be driven from an electromotor through chain or belt gearing, and comprises a framework of uprights 5 and cross-bars. At the corners of the frame are mounted suitable pulleys, around which pass a pair of endless chains 16, the upper pulleys being driven by a motor and belt or chain gearing 41. The chain 16 is provided with a link 17 to which are pivoted brackets 18, and a supporting-catch 20, which is normally maintained in position to support one of the brackets by means of a spring 22. The discharge platform 26 is of rectangular form and is pivoted at one side to a hinged link 27, and engages at its other side with a bar 29 by means of a hook. The discharge platform is adjustable in position by means of an endless rope 31 operated by a crank-handle and spur gearing. It may be held in position by a pawl and ratchet, or may be bolted to the main frame of the elevator. When a load of timber &c. is to be raised from a truck, the timber is run on to the rollers 42 and picked up by the ascending bracket 18. As the load rises, the discharging platform is swung back into the position shown in dotted lines, automatically returning to its initial position as the load passes. A stop on the discharging-platform then engages a lug on the supporting-catch 20, which is thereby tripped, allowing the brackets 18 to swing downwards and the load to be discharged. The brackets 18 are made double so that the timber may be carried on either side of the elevator.

Abstract: 9380. Wright, J. April 23. Winding , calendering and pressing. - In a calendering - machine for linoleum &c., the material is led by the rollers B<1>, B<2> on to the feeding- drum A<1>, from which it passes between pressing- plates C<1>, C<2>. The plate C<1> carries rollers D' running on rails D<2>, and supports the plate C<2> by means of headed bolts E which pass loosely through the plate C<1>, so that normally there is a free passage between the plates for the material B. The plates C', C' are periodically pressed together and moved forwards at the same time by means of two rolls G', G<2>, one or both of which may be provided with a cam-surface or with means for raising or lowering them, in order to hold the plates C<1>, C<2> together during a part of their revolution. When the plates are released at the end of their travel, the lower one falls away from the upper one and the pair are brought back to their initial position by a and H on the upper one engaging a slot in a lever H' mounted on a shaft J, which is rocked by a stud J<2> on the shaft of the roll G<2> engaging a pawl lever J<1> mounted on it. The pressed material passes over the roller K' and tension roller K<2> to the taking-up drum K, which is intermittently rotated by the friction disk K<3> and friction roller K'. The roller K<4> is carried by a sleeve K provided with a stud K<7> working in a slot in the lever L, which is mounted on a shaft L<1> carrying another lever in engagement with the spindle of a roller L<2>, the surface of the latter being in contact with the material on the roller K, so that, as the material is wound on the latter, the roller K gradually rises, thui keeping the rate of winding constant. The intermittent rotation of the roller K is effected, through the gearing K<6>, M, M<1>, M<2>, M<3>, N, by a pawl and ratchet N', operated through the rod N<3> by the rocking lever H<2>, which also serves during the return movement of the plates to rotate the drum A' backwards a little by means of the rod P', friction pawl P, and friction ratchet P<1>, in order to prevent markings of the material between the successive sections pressed by the plates. In this form of the machine, the material is moved by the action of the plates alone, but independent means may be provided for this purpose.

Title: Improvements in Water Current Motors.
Inventor: NOLAN JOHN
Filed: 1908-07-24
Granted: 1908-12-03
Abstract: 15,704. Nolan, J. July 24. Turbines.-Relates to water-current motors in which the operative wheel is automatically adjusted in accordance with the height of the current by being connected with a float in a still-water cistern. The axle d of the working wheel b, Fig. 1, is mounted in a sash c which slides on roller bearings u in a framework a. Four balance-weights g are connected by wire ropes with the sash c, from which also passes a rope or chain k to floats m in a cistern o. The rope k has means s for adjusting its length. The cistern communicates with the outer current by a conduit q in which is a valve r, whereby when the valve is open the float m, and consequently the sash c, rises or falls in accordance with the level of the outside current, and, when the valve is shut, water may be pumped into or out of the cistern o in order to alter the position of the sash in relation to the outer current. The axle d carries the driving-cog e at one end, and a balance-wheel f at the other. The driving-cog e meshes with a long spindle wheel h on a shaft which communicates its motion by ordinary gear to a power shaft t. In place of the spindle h, a bevel-wheel, carried by the sash c meshes with the wheel c and slides vertically over a square shaft. For water-wheels on a vertical axis, the framework comprises four uprights g, Figs. 4 and 5, fixed in a bed-plate s. The waterwheel is carried in a cage a and carries a cog c which gears with the long spindle wheel h. The cage a is connected with floats in a still-water cistern as in Fig. 1. The spindle h and spur-wheel e may be dispensed with by feathering the boss of the waterwheel on a long sleeve mounted on the central spindle f. The water-wheels on a vertical axis are preferably erected in channels having automatic baffles j fitted on masonry cut-waters m, and supply sluices and screws l adapted to shut off the current and protect the wheel from being fouled. The cage a has intakes i, the vertical walls of which are flush with the walls of the channel, and the upper and lower lips are splayed as shown. Scoops y are adapted to free the wheel from superfluous water. When not erected in channels, the intakes i are bell-mouthed, and the baffles j are hinged to the cage. The channels may be constructed across headland or inlands around which strong tidal or river currents sweep.

Title: Coin-freed Automatic Machine.
Inventor: HERINGTON WILLIAM THEOBALD
IPC: G09F19/00
Filed: 1908-11-02
Granted: 1909-11-02
Abstract: 23,352. Herington, W. T. Nov. 2. Moving figures.-A diver b standing on a ladder h and normally visible through the upper glazed front a' of the casing is adapted on prepayment to descend into a tank of water c and return again into view holding up the penny that has just been inserted. The diver is mounted on a platform d<5> carried by a nut working along the screw d<4>, which is rotated through gear d, d<1>, d<2>, d<3> from a motor d contained in a water-tight compartment c<1>. The body of the diver is bent downward about the pivot h<8>, Fig. 5, against the action of a spring h<10> as the descent commences, through a rod h<11>, divided arm h<6>, and bar h<4>, Fig. 7, pivoted at h<2>, owing to the engagement of the extremity of this bar with the groove h<5> in a fixed bracket h<1>. When the diver reaches the bottom, the arm is raised through 45 degrees into position to remove the coin k from the support e<6> during the ascent, by the engagement of a weighted lever f, Fig. 2, with a spring- depressed rod b<1>, Fig. 5, protruding from the platform d<5> and carrying a rack engaging a pinion on the arm socket, a notch on the rod engaging a projection on the platform to maintain the arm in the raised position. The rotation of the screw d<4> is reversed for the return movement by clutching the opposite mitre of the pair d<3> to the driving- spindle by means of levers controlled by a camgroove g<1> in the disk g. Just before the diver reaches the normal position, the extremity of the bar h<4>, which is hinged at h<3>, engages a wedge h<9> on the bracket h', thereby freeing the rod b<1> through a rod b<6> and bell-crank b<15>, and lowering the arm of the flgure. Coin action.-The coin inserted in a slot e tilts a pivoted lever e<2>, thereby raising a rod e<4> to lift a projection e<7> from a notch g<2> in the disk g and to remove the extremity of the arm from the fly i of the motor d. Coin-discharging mechanism.-The tilting of the lever e<2> allows the coin to pass down a shoot e<5> to the support e<6>. The coin is thrown into a shoot j, Fig. 2, as the arm of the figure drops, owing to the engagement of a fixed cam b<11>, Fig. 5, with a stud b<13> on the arm pivot, which is connected by a spring b<14> to a casing b<16>.
