Title: Improvements in Perforating or Punching Machines.
Inventor: WEBER JOSEPH
IPC: B26D5/30
Filed: 1910-08-30
Granted: 1911-08-30
Abstract: 20,233. Weber, J. Aug. 30. Selective punching - machines. - An electrically - operated punching- machine has a continuously-rotating shaft D with disks A, B, R or other means for effecting at each revolution the intermittent feed of the paper, the opening and closing of the circuit of the punch-operating magnets V, and the withdrawal of the punch J<1>. The disk A has an up-turned portion M, formed by cutting radially and bending, and engages a toothed wheel N on the shaft of the feed-roll O. The disk A may be replaced by a cylinder having mutilated rings A<c>, Fig. 5, on its surface. The disk B has a part E' of its surface insulated, and makes contact with a brush E in the circuit of the magnets V, so that, when the circuit is closed by a piano key, the punch is rapidly reciprocated, producing a continuous cut. The disk B may be replaced by a cylinder B<c>, Fig. 5, having a partially - insulated curved surface engaged by a brush E. The disk R has a projection C, which operates a rock-shaft B<2> by means of the adjustable bracket-arm H. An arm K on the rock-shaft engages a projection K<2> on the punch-rod J, and so retracts the punch. The shaft D may have a fly-wheel F<w>, Fig. 5, and to aid the action of the rock-shaft B<2> and arm K, a kicking-rod 2 may be secured to the armature 3 of magnets 4 in an independent circuit, which may include a cylinder and brush similar to B<c>, E. The punch-rod J is actuated by a push-rod Y secured to the armature W, and the rods J, Y are upheld by springs L, H<1>. A stripper S is provided near the punch J<1>. Fig. 5 shows the apparatus arranged for copying a perforated sheet Z, which passes between a contact cylinder D<3> and a brush D<2>, and is fed intermittently by means of an interrupted disk A<2> on the shaft D.

Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 20,357. Plagens, F. Aug. 31. Potato planters.-Relates to a machine in which the potatoes are deposited by a cup, elevator in the furrow, and are subsequently, covered in by trailing disks. The cups or forks 9 are spherically shaped, and are carried by chains 8 running on a driving-wheel 5, an upper wheel 4, and a guide-wheel 7. These wheels are so arranged that the chains travel up the inclined side of the hopper 1, vertically down the seed-tube 6, and then abruptly across to the bottom of the hopper 1, which is fitted with grating bars 10, which allow the forked cups 9 to enter the hopper. The seed-tube 6 is telescopic, and the lowermost section is secured to the drill coulter 12, which is carried by a lever 11 pivoted at 15 on a front bar 16 of the frame. The covering-disks 19 are adjustably secured to bars 18, which are themselves secured adjustably, as shown in Fig. 1, to the coulter levers 11. The coulters 12 and disks 19 are raised out of work by a chain 39 attached to an arm 37 on a rocking shaft 34 operated by a hand-lever 32. The same movement of the lever 32 throws the conveyer 8 out of action by the following arrangement. The shaft 3, on which the driving-pulley 5 of the conveyer 8 is secured, is driven from the gear-wheel 25 on the main axle by means of the gear-wheels 26, 27, 28, of which the wheels 26, 27 are mounted on a lever 31 pivoted at 30 and connected by a pin and slot to an arm on the lever 32, so that, when this is raised, the wheels 26, 27 are lifted out of gear.

Abstract: 3648. Weintraub, E. Feb. 14, 1910, [Convention date]. Electrolytic meters. -Mercury constituting the anode is separated by a membrane, preferably of gold-beater's skin, from an electrolyte which does not hydrolyse, and which may be a solution of mercuric chloride and potassium sulphocyanate, or of the double sulphocyanate of mercury and potassium. In the form shown, an anode chamber 5 closed at the bottom by a membrane 8 is fitted into the neck 4 of an outer vessel 2 by a ground joint and secured by a sealing-substance poured into the lip 4<1>. The cathode consists of a glass ring 10 supported by an arm 13 and covered with thin platinum foil connected to a leading-in wire 11. The mercury deposited falls into a measuring-tube 3, which may be of flattened cross-section. The instrument is reset by inverting it, the mercury returning to the vessel 5 by a tube 14 so placed that the volume of the space above it is greater than that of the space below it. In a modification, the anode vessel has a number of depending branches, each provided with a membrane, and the cathode is an horizontal cylinder of graphite. Specifications 5841/00 and 20,500/05 are referred to.

Abstract: 3755. Piernay, W. Feb. 14. Clinkers, removing.-In refuse destructors and like furnaces in which a temporary support for the upper part of the fuel bed is employed while the clinker or ash is removed from below, a clinker-cutting device is used consisting of a cutter 13 on the front edge of a carriage 14, which is moved transversely of the furnace in guides 7 by means of gearing acting upon racks 20. The severed end of the core of clinker is dumped by withdrawing the sliding bed 4. The cutter 13 is shaped as shown to diminish the resistance to its motion, and the carriage 14 is provided with bars to serve as a temporary grate.

Moulding - machines. - A foundry moulding- machine having a number of press plates is arranged to compress, at each successive stroke of the head, a portion only of the mould. In one example, the press head 1, Fig. 2, carries a ring 5 within which slide a ring 9 and a cylinder 8. During the first stroke of the head, both the cylinder 8 and the ring 9 are held up by springs 10 and only the ring 5 acts on the sand, but before the second stroke the wedge 13 is pulled forward to depress the ring 9, which then acts as shown in Fig. 2 ; before the third stroke, the wedge 12 is operated and the cylinder 8 acts on the sand when the head descends. Fixed or adjustable stops are arranged on the wedges so that the various pressplates compress the sand to the same or to different degrees. After the first compression, the sand may be smoothed by hand so that at the next operation the outer ring of sand will be strongly compressed. In a modification, Fig. 9, the central press-plate is adjusted by a screw, and in another modification, Fig. 11, by cams 2<a> and levers.
