Granted: 1912-07-26
Abstract: 17,145. Lake, H. W., [Saladin Pneumatic Malting Construction Co.]. July 26. Malting.-In a malt-house having a number of stories, steep-tanks are placed in the upper story 23, and the grain is discharged therefrom, through a fixed pipe and flexible hose on to one or other of the germinating-compartments which comprise perforated floors 39, 40 on air trunks 42, 43. The grain, after germination, is discharged through openings 82 on a level with the floors, and fitted with removable closing-plates into trunks 79, 81, leading to a perforated kilning-floor 38, supplied with warm air from a furnace room 24. Air is drawn through attemperators in an upper story 22, into the upper parts of the germinating compartments, and is drawn either downwards through the grain and through valved openings 51, 52, or across the grain and through valved openings 66, 67, into a trunk 54 leading to an exhauster on the story 22. The exhauster also draws the hot air from the kilning-chamber 38 through a separate trunk. The furnace room 24 is provided with shuttered openings 74 to regulate the entry of fresh air, which may be heated by passage through chambers at the sides of the furnaces. The fresh air and furnace gases are mixed under a hood 70. The kilning-floor may be formed of hinged sections to dump the grain into hoppers beneath it.

Abstract: 28,734. Efflinger, R., Krenek, J., and Lechner, R. Dec. 20. Overlap joints with outer pipe or sleeve gripping by elasticity of material and with valves.-A rubber pipe connexion for gas-supply pipes or taps has a valve which automatically closes or opens when the connexion is broken or made. In one form, Fig. 1, a pipe b, attached to a tap a, contains a spring-pressed ball valve c, the stem of which is linked to an elbow g carrying a roller h. The rubber pipe i normally holds the ball away from its seating, on to which it is pressed, as in Fig. 2, when the pipe i is removed. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the valve is pressed from its seating by the abutment of the coupled member l on a wire loop k which forms an extension of the valve spindle. Alternatively, a valve-actuating rod may be formed upon the coupled member. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 2050/64 and 1632/71.

Abstract: 1775. Lake, H. W., [Goss Printing Press Co.]. Jan. 22. Delivery apparatus; cutting - apparatus.- Sheets, more particularly printed sheets fed either from a pile 1 or direct from a machine. are held by front and rear gauges 2, 13 while being cut in the middle. The two parts are then either forwarded separately to be associated with other sheets from the cylinder 65, or are first associated together at the gauges 2 and then associated with the other sheets. An uncut sheet is forwarded by rollers 43 and tape runs 37, 38 to the stop 2, and the cam - operated dropping - rollers 42 are then raised, the stops 13 on the same shaft being simultaneously lowered to clamp the back edge of the sheet. While the sheet is thus held, it is cut by the knife 25, which at the same time depresses the back edge of the front portion, so that, should it be desired, the back portion of the sheet can be forwarded by the rollers 42 and superimposed on the front portion before the stops 2 are raised. The associated sheets are then forwarded by the roller 54, which rises simultaneously with the stops 2. If it is desired to hold back the rear portion of the large sheet until the front portion has left the stops 2, the setting of the cam on the shaft 8 which operates the stops 13 is altered.

Abstract: 15,013. Flugel, B. J. V. A., [trading as Flugel & Co.], and Webb, H. F. June 27. Actuating by hydraulic motors.-The distributing-valves of a direct-acting hydraulically-operated pump are actuated suddenly at the end of each stroke by a tappet and spring device. The valve-gear comprises a tappet arm E, carried by an external rod which connects the outer ends of the piston-rod C passing through the pump cylinder B and motor cylinder A. The tappet E engages arms.R, S attached to a slotted quadrant L, which is pivoted at' M to a shaft carrying a squared block 0 engaging with powerful springs P. The distributing valve-rod H is operated by an arm I engaging with the slot in the quadrant L. During the first portion of the movement, the quadrant moves without imparting vertical movement to the rod H while the jaws of the spring P are forced apart by the angles of the squared block 0, but as soon as this passes the point of unstable equilibrium, the spring causes a quick completing movement of the quadrant, which effects the actuation of the valve.

Abstract: 5333. Maschinenfabrik Moenus Akt.- Ges. March 5, 1912, [Convention date]. Reciprocating-tool machines.-In a leatherstaking or crippling machine having one or more tools co-operating with reciprocating rolls which hold the skin upon a stationary apron, the parts are arranged so that the skin is not subjected to undue tension. The apron 2 extends between a fixed bar 5 and a tension roll 3 and dips between the lower grip-rolls 13, 13<1>, which are carried by the reciprocating chariot 10. The upper grip-rolls 14, 14<1> straddle the reciprocating blade 9 and are pivotally supported on the arm 6 by arms 15 which bear on a cam 17, through rollers 16, so that the staking action may be controlled, as by means of an operating- rod 18. The peripheral velocity of the griprolls is thus equal to that of the reciprocating parts. The upper and lower grip-rolls may be driven separately or together by means of toothed or friction gear, and the blade 9 may remain at its highest position between the rolls throughout the stroke, or it may be withdrawn after having made an initial fold in the skin. The blade may also be alternatively attached to the upper staking-arm 6, or it may be independently actuated.
