Patent GB-190202055-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Sending Apparatus for Pneumatic Despatch Systems
Filed: 1902-01-25
Granted: 1902-05-29
Abstract: 2055. Lake, H. H., [Batcheller Pneumatic Tube Co.]. Jan. 25. Pneumatic despatch apparatus.-The sender acts automatically after the carrier has been inserted, and leaves itself ready to receive another carrier. Fig. 2 shows a vertical section, and Figs. 3 and 7 an auxiliary plan and cross-section, of the lateral valve chest E<3>. Figs. 5 and 6 show a dash-pot attachment for preventing the succession of carriers from being too rapid. The lateral valve-chest is divided into two annuli E<2>, E<3>, containing a tubular valve G ; the outer annulus is open to the atmosphere through an adjustable orifice E<8>, Fig. 3, while the inner one is in communication with the. transit tube through a tangential passage E containing a valve F. Normally the entrance chamber B between the two gates B<1>, B<2> is open to the atmosphere through a conduit E'‹, the tubular valve, and the outer annulus, but the inserted* carrier by striking a lever G<3> shifts the valve, so as to close the outer annulus and open the inner one to the conduit. The tangential valve, being connected by a rod F<1> to a bell crank F<2> behind the outer gate B<1>, is temporarily closed by a spring while the gate is open, but the closing-gate opens it again, and the pressures on each side of the inner gate B<2> thus becoming equal, the latter opens, and the carrier passes into the transit tube, leaving the tubular valve free to establish the initial condition, under the pressure of a spring. The inner gate is locked for a time after it has closed by a latch J<2>, because as it opens it turns a crank H, on its pivot D, which shifts a tubular valve H<4> so as to admit the compressed air to one side of a diaphragm I<6> in a chamber I. The air on the other side of the diaphragm is driven out into the atmosphere through a ball valve I<3>, and the diaphragm pulls up a spring I<9> which normally overpowers the latch. When the gate closes again, the compressed air in the diaphragm chamber is allowed to escape through the atmospheric port H<8> of the tubular valve. As a throttle valve I<5> admits air to the other side of the diaphragm, the spring I<9> again withdraws the latch J<2>. Sliding gates may be used instead of hinged ones. The valve lever G<3>, projecting into the sender, and the tangential valve may be omitted if the lateral valve is set vertically, and the gates are provided with pawls to engage tappets upon its lengthened rod. The lateral valve may also be worked pneumatically.

Abstract: 27,001. Lake, H. H., [Turner Tanning MachineryCo.]. Dec. 10. Hides and skins, raw and tanned or tawed, treating.-In a machine for unhairing or otherwise treating hides and skins, a series of tables, over which the hides &c. are placed, are carried by means of a pair of endless chains between two pairs of operating-members. In the end view, shown in Fig. 5, the carrier chains 21, on which the tables 20 are pivoted near their upper edges, pass over upper and lower sprocket-wheels 22, 23 and over adjustable idle sprockets 24. Between the hide &c. and the table is a resilient bolster capable of being moved relatively to the table. The tables are carried between the lower members 31, 32, and, before they arrive at the upper members 30, 33, a stop 75 projecting from the bolster engages with a projection 80 on the framework. The table proceeds, and the bolster with the part h of the hide &c. which escaped treatment by the lower members is shifted round on to a face of the table, until a similar stop 75 on the opposite face of the bolster engages with a projection 82 on the other side of the framework. Then, aided by the inclined faces of the stops, the table, after a forward and backward swing to clear the projections 80, 82, travels to the upper members, where a similar stop device is arranged. The operating- members are mounted in bearings, having a vertical swivel, in hangers 36, 39 pivoted on pins 41 in the framework, and the members of each pair rotate in opposite directions, opposing the motion of the tables. The lower ends of the hangers 36 are secured to stationary brackets 45 adjustable to and from the tables. To afford a yielding thrust between the rolls, the hangers 39 for the rolls 30, 32 are connected by links 46 to cranked levers 49 which carry adjustable weights 48 and adjustable stops 50. The table, shown in section in Fig. 12, consists of boards covered with zinc or the like 61, supporting a bolster consisting of an inner layer 66 of felt or other cushioning-material and an outer harder layer 67 of raw hide, vulcanized rubber, or the like. These layers are secured together by bolts 70 passed through straps 68 fitted along the edges of the bolster. The latter passes over a roll 65 mounted in extensions of brackets 62, Fig. 8, fixed to the table for support. ing the pin by which the table is hung from the chain. The pair of straps 68 on the two faces of the table near each outer edge are connected by chains or cords passing over sprocket-wheels 73 on the shaft of the roll 65. The stops 75 are secured to the straps 68, which are held to the table by guides 76 secured thereto.
