Title: Improvements in Machinery for Trimming th Edgs of Metal Boxes.
Inventor: ADAMS FRANK EDWARD
Filed: 1907-07-18
Granted: 1908-08-18
Abstract: 16,466. Adams, F. E. July 18. Breaking; shearing. - In a machine having a number of reciprocating cutters for trimming the edges of metal boxes and lids, means are provided for removing the scrap from the machine. The work is held by a presser operated by a treadle, which also actuates the clutch for driving the machine. The cutters 1 are mounted in slides 2 reciprocated by levers 26, Fig. 4. These levers 26 are connected by bars 25 to a wrist plate 23, the bars being connected at the corners of this plate so that, as it is rocked by a connecting-rod 22, Fig. 1, from the main shaft of the machine, one pair of opposite cutters is made to approach and the other to recede from the work, the cuts made by the cutters overlapping The work is placed over a pad 6 pressed upwards by springs 7, and is pressed down by a presser-plate 11, the die 9 with which the cutters coact being thus inside the work. The prerser-plate 11 is operated through levers from a rod 17 operated by a lever 33, Fig. 6, from a treadle lever 31. A cam 36 keeps the presserplate depressed so that the treadle may be liberated. The treadle also puts in a one-revolution clutch by which the main shaft 20 is driven. The work may be fed automatically on to the pad 6, and the machine may be run continuously, in which case means are provided to time the clamping of the work. The ring-shaped scrap is removed by means of sets of reciprocating hooks 40, which are mounted in carriers 41 pivoted in the vertical ends of a reciprocating bar 44. This bar is reciprocated by a bar 45 reciprocated by a rod 48 connected to a crank driven by belt and toothed gearing from the main shaft 20. The bars 44, 45 are connected by a pin 56 working in a slot 57, so that the hooks are first tilted upwards, next moved towards the work, and then moved backwards and withdrawn. The books are reciprocated more frequently than the cutters.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Means and Appliances for the Treatment of Wool or like Fibres by Dyeing and kindred Processes.
Inventor: BURGOYNE JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1907-10-28
Granted: 1908-05-21
Abstract: 23,736. Burgoyne, J. W. Oct. 28. Dyeing, washing, and otherwise treating fibres, for example yarn, wool slubbings, cotton, and flax. The treating-tank is provided with a movable, perforated false bottom and a pressing - arrangement above the material treated. The false bottom C is supported on bridge - pieces B placed in the bottom of the tank A, or otherwise, and has attached to it bars D which passup the side of the tank in recesses D<1>. Above the wool &c. w, and pressing thereon, is a perforated " auxiliary " presser " S, which works, as does also the press-top E of a ram Rtowhich it is attached, in guides E'. Suitable mechanism, such as a rack K<1> operated by pinions, a worm W, and worm-wheel W', allows of pressure being applied through the presser S. This tends to squeeze the liquor out of the material w and, when released, allows the liquid to be again absorbed. Liquor is admitted to the tank A through an inlet A<1> in the bottom under pressure from a conveniently situated supply-tank, until it reaches a level X above the wool w, where an overflow may be placed. The supply is then cut off from the inlet A', and liquid is admitted through perforated pipes F at the top of the tank A and pumped off from the bottom, back to the supply tank. After sufficient treatment, the presser S is raised until in contact with the press-top E, the tank is filled with water, and the press-top is lowered by means of the ram R, squeezing out the water and liquid mixture. The operation of a handle M next causes bolts N on the press-top E, Fig. 2, to move outwards and to enter slots in the bars D attached to the false bottom C. The ram R is then caused to rise, and the false bottom C is lifted bringing the material w with it for inspection or removal.

Abstract: 4363. Wilson, W. G. Feb. 26. Gas or explosive-vapour engines.-A two-strokecycle engine having an independent air - pump supplying air during the compression stroke is provided with means whereby, near the end of the compression stroke, the passage of air to the working cylinder is restricted, and the air is directed through another passage to feed fuel to the cylinder, expansion taking place in the working cylinder only. The pump a, on its out-stroke, draws in air through a valve m, and on the return stroke forces the air past a non-return valve o and through a passage n to the cylinder b. In one modification, air is compressed in the crank case, and at the end of the out-stroke of the pump, enters through the port v and, passing through the valve o, scavenges the cylinder. The restricting-means may be provided by either or both of the pistons closing the air-passage between the cylinders, or, as shown, by a projection 3 on the piston entering and closing the passage 4. The remainder of the air in the pump passes by a passage q and sprays the fuel through a valve q. Ignition may be effected by a sparking-plug y, or by one or more insulated heat-retaining mantles in the combustion chamber. (For Figure see next page.)

Granted: 1910-07-06
Abstract: 8336. Kittle, H. A. April 6. Mineral oils, distilling.-Oil and other volatile substances are vaporized without fractionation by passing them at a constant rate through an apparatus in which they are heated to a constant temperature sufficiently high to vaporize the constituent having the highest boiling-point, the velocity of flow being not less than the velocity at which these substances spread when dropped on to a surface at the temperature used. Separate heater and evaporator apparatus.-The preferred form of apparatus comprises a narrow pipe D, heated by a bath of molten metal E and discharging into a vaporizing-chamber F. The vapour may be led to a condenser G or may be led away by a pipe f<1> for immediate use, as for example for heating the metal bath in a burner H, or for fuel purposes on a motor-vehicle. The oil is supplied by means of a compressed-air reservoir B in communication with the oil tank A. Any residue from the separator F passes through a cooling- coil J to an overflow tank K, which is arranged so as to provide a constant pressure in the separator, and is returned thence by a pump L for further treatment. The pipe D may also be heated by radiation. Evaporating by contact with hot liquid.-The oil may also be brought into direct contact with the molten metal, the vapour collecting at its surface.
