Abstract: 17,245. Knowles, A. July 28. Pressing.-To enable caps to be pressed by an hydraulic bag, such as is used for felt &c. hats, a mould is made with removable parts so that the cap can be withdrawn without distorting its shape. A dish-shaped member j, fitting in the base a by a flange k, receives the crown of the cap g, and also, by means of a recess o, two or more flanges m, n shaped to embrace the lower portion f of the cap. These flanges may be both shaped alike, or either or both may be extended, as shown at q, r, to support one or more peaks i. One of the flanges may be made integral with the dish portion j, and the other hinged to it, or in the case of a cap without a peak the flanges may be made in one so as to form a complete ring. The cap is preferably held in position by metal clips s, and the hydraulic bag d is gripped between upper and lower portions b, c forming the usual box.

Abstract: 18,730. Fletcher, A. Aug. 19. Steering and balancing; planes, construction of.-Controlling-planes for aerial machines are constructed as disks mounted to rotate about axes inclined to the planes of the disks. Fig. 1 shows a biplane fitted with lateral balancing- planes, each comprising a pair of disks C, C<1> set at an inclination to vertical rotary axes D, the upper disks C being of greater area than the lower ones C<1>. During rotation of the axes D, the disks present varying angles of incidence to the head-wind, and secure lateral balance. Fig. 4 shows a pair of disks E, E<1> mounted on axes F, F' arranged at the front or rear of the machine. The axes F, F' are connected by chain gearing H, H' so as to rotate oppositely to neutralize the lateral thrusts upon the disks E, E'. This gearing may, however, be thrown out of action, so that the disks may be rotated independently and the lateral thrust used for steering the machine laterally. The disks C, Cl,. E, E' may be controlled manually, or automatically by connexion with a pilot's seat acting as a pendulum. In another form of controlling- plane, a disk M is mounted to be rotated about a perpendicular axis M<1> arranged eccentrically, so that, as the disk is rotated, it becomes more or less covered by the main plane A, thus providing a variable supporting-area. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 13,418/09, 16,707/09, 26,674/09, 29,372/09, 30,194/09, 6657/10, and 13,298/10.

Abstract: 29,429. Warburton, F. T. Dec. 21. Peat, preparing.-Fuel blocks are made from macerated peat in moulds having bottom plates secured by detachable right-angled brackets, each mould containing about twenty compartments. The moulds are conveyed to a drying- ground on cars. They are placed on the ground and the bottom plates removed by handles; the moulds are then raised, sufficient water having exuded in transit to allow the blocks to stand alone. The moulds are filled by bringing them on the cars alongside a bottomless box resting on a plate, which may be raised or lowered until flush with the top of the mould. The box, which is filled from a macerating machine, is then pushed over the mould so as to fill it, the peat being levelled by the return motion of the box. The Provisional Specification also states that the macerator may be mounted on a platform moving on rails, so as to work a whole stratum of peat at a time, and that the moulds may have indented lower edges to allow escape of water.

Title: Improved Controlling Device for Focal Plane Shutters.
IPC: G03B9/10
Filed: 1913-03-12
Granted: 1914-01-29
Abstract: 6121. Prout, G. F., and Houghtons, Ltd. March 12. Shutters, roller-blind. -In focal-plane shutters of the type in which the different -speeds are obtained by varying the width of the exposure aperture, an increased range of speeds is obtained by means of a braking-device that only comes into operation when the shutter, which may be of the type described in Specification 16,353/06, is set at the lower speeds. For this purpose, after the winding-wheel 1, Fig. 1, has been first turned to wind up the blinds and has then been turned further, so as to increase the width of the exposure aperture and set the shutter for lower speeds, a stud 15 on the wheel 1 acts on the arm 14 of a lever 13, 14 and turns this lever against the action of a spring 18 connected to a link 19, which is connected to the lever 13, 14 and to a lever 20 pivoted at 21. A spring-actuated pawl 17 is thereby placed in engagement with the ratchet teeth on a brake disk or wheel 5, Figs. 1 and 2, which is pressed by a spring 9 against a washer 8 on a wheel 3 geared to the winding-wheel 1 and to the blindroller pinion 6. When the shutter is released by means of a rocking arm 24, a pin 23 moves to the left of and retains the arm 22 of the lever 20. The pawl 17 is thereby held in action, and the brake disk being thus firmly held, the movement of the wheel 3 is braked. When the shutter is set for higher speeds, the pawl 17 is not moved into engagement with the disk 5, which can thus move idly without having a braking effect on the wheel 3. The spring 9 is mounted on the hub 4 of the wheel 3, and is kept in position by a screwed washer 10.

Abstract: 10,466. Roberts, W. T. B., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. May 3. Splitting.-A machine for splitting leather &c. comprises a manuallyoperated callipering- device so connected with the splitting-mechanism that, when the callipering-device is closed upon the stock, the splitting-mechanism is automatically set to split the stock to a thickness determined by the callipering operation. The invention is shown embodied in a machine of the type described in Specification 21,977/03, [Class 76, Leather]. The machine is usually set to split to the thickness of the thinnest portion of the stock, or to a certain proportion thereof. This thickness is gauged between a normally stationary abutment F and a plunger G actuated by a handle H suitably connected with a slide D carrying wedges D<1> adapted to adjust vertically the upper feedroller A and thereby control the thickness to be split in a manner similar to that described in the above-mentioned Specification. The connexions between the callipering-device F, G and the slide D permit of adjustment so that the thickness to be split may be made to agree exactly with. or bear some predetermined relation to, the thickness measured. A spring latch H' or the handle H is adapted to engage a graduated segment K to indicate the thickness measured and to lock the handle from undesirable movement. To facilitate the withdrawal of the stock from the callipers, one or both of the callipering-members is adapted to move in a direction other than that of the callipering movement. As shown, the abutment F is adapted to be swung upwards against the action of a leaf spring F<4> and is provided with a chamfered portion F<5>. The callipering-devices may be closed by spring action to ensure equality of pressure in operation.
