Title: Improvements in Briquetting Machines of the Rotary Table Type
Inventor: CROCHET OCTAVE
Filed: 1906-12-28
Granted: 1907-12-12
Abstract: 29,583. Crochet, O. Dec. 28. Moulding briquettes.-In a rotary-mould-table press for moulding briquettes from coal, ores, &c., means is provided for producing a double simultaneous compression of regulated intensity. The upper and lower plungers are actuated simultaneously by means of a crank 1 which operates rods 2, 5, connected respectively to a beam 4 and to an hydraulic piston 6 which operates an hydraulic piston 11 carrying the lower plunger 10. The beam 4 is pivoted at 7 to a frame carried by an hydraulic piston 8, and carries a plunger 19 which bears upon the upper pressing-plunger 9. The cylinders of the pistons 8, 11, 6 are in communication with each other and also with suction and pressure valves 15, 16, Fig. 1. After the table 13 has been rotated to bring a charge of material into the compressing position, the plungers 9, 10 are moved together to compress the material simultaneously ; the continued movement of the beam 4 next forces down both plungers until the piston 11 rests upon an elastic stop 18, and the beam 4 then rocks about a pivot 19, forcing up the pivot 7 aod piston 8 against the action of a spring 20. Daring compression, a previously-moulded briquette is discharged at the opposite sideof the table by means of a plunger operated by a system of levers 23, 24, 25, 26. The pressure on the material is regulated by means of a valve 16, the rod of which passes through a series of spring washers which can be adjusted by means of a nut. A loaded safety-valve 17 is also provided. The lower plunger 10 is positively withdrawn by means of a lever 43 connected by links 42, 41 to a lever 40, which is rocked by a pin 39 on a crank 29 fixed to the main shaft. During the withdrawal of the plungers, pressure fluid enters through a suction valve 15. The table 13 is intermittently rotated by means of a ratchet device 35 operated by means of a slide 31 connected to the crank 29 by means of a link 30. The table is locked in its stationary position by means of a lever 37, which is rocked to engage with recesses 38<1> in the table by means of a stop 38 on the end of the slide 31.

Telegraphs.-In an aerial for use in wireless telegraphy, a frame is slidably mounted on a mast and carries pivotally mounted booms, provided with ropes or like flexible supports for the antennµ, the ropes being extended between, and connected to the outer ends of the booms. The mast M, which is a hollow cylindrical shaft, is provided with an interior ladder and sustaining- guys G, G, G', G<3>, anchored at A. Repair balconies b, b<1>, &c., a canopy o, and insulating - hood over the guy terminals are also provided. Surrounding each mast near its top is a square framework, Fig. 10, made up of channels f, f<1> fastened at their inner ends by gusset plates p, and this framework is connected with another framework by struts s, s<1> fastened by gusset plates p<1>. Booms B are pivoted on the outer framework, which is also connected to a second inner framework by struts s<2>, as shown in Fig. 9, thereby forming a frame structure with two horizontal bearings against the mast. The booms B are stayed against lateral movement by guys g<2>, anchored to the frame structure, and back-stays extend from the outer end of the boom to the mast. On the outer end of each of the booms is a horizontal sheave and block V, and sustaining-ropes R are stretched between, and from the ends of adjoining booms, to which the antennae are attached, their free ends being connected directly to the mast, or to suitable conducting- wires if the mast is a non-conductor. Between the inner edges of the plates p<1> and the mast M are upright shoes S, comprising an upright angle-bar which is fastened to the plates and passes between the flanges of a vertical channel beam C, riveted to the exterior of the mast. At a fixed point on the mast M is located a chain-hoist system, comprising two chain-wheels H, chains c fastened to the frame structure, and worm gearing actuated by a wheel h<1> and chain c<1>. At the top of the mast is an arrangement for winding up the ropes R and the antennae, comprising four sets of two drums, each provided with pawls and ratchets, and a framework fastened below the drums to the masts and carrying sheaves, round which are wound the ropes R, which then pass to the drums D and are fastened to the same. The booms can thus be readily drawn up to the mast when it is desired to inspect the wires or the supporting- frame, the ropes R being simultaneously wound on the drums D by a second operator. In a modification, two sets of booms, both attached to oscillating frames, are used, the antennµ being stretched between wires attached to the booms, so that the lower set of booms will be moved simultaneously with the upper set In a further modification, the lower frame structure is permanently attached to the mast.

Abstract: 27,205. Morgan, J. Dec. 9. Variable-speed gearing.-A cam 3 upon the driving- shaft 1 successively lifts curved levers 5 pivoted at 44 to a disk 40, which may be angularly adjusted by means of a worm &c. The outward movement of the levers 5 is utilized to drive a co-axial shaft 2, Fig. 3, by means of toothed racks 10<b>, slidably mounted in arms 13<b> and operated by means of studs 9, which rest upon the curved surfaces 5<a> of the levers, being pulled centrally by springs 10<c>. The racks operate pinions 12, which, through ratchet clutches, drive the spindles 47 carrying pinions 48 gearing with the central pinion 49 upon the shaft 2 to be driven. The relative speeds of the shafts 1, 2 is determined by the degree of reciprocation of the racks 10<b>, which in turn depends upon the distance of the studs 9 from the fulcra 44 of the levers 5. This distance is adjusted by angular movement of the disk or carrier 40 as indicated above. The cam 3 is designed to give a uniform movement to the levers 5. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the rack is in the form of a pivoted segment 26 with a toothed periphery 28, held down upon the lifting- surface 5<a> by a spring 26<a>. The cam 3 rocks a lever 22 about a pivot 21.
