Title: Apparatus for manufacturing wheel rims
IPC: B21D53/30
Filed: 1953-11-17
Abstract: 746,077. Making wheel rims; stamping; tube expanders. KELSEY-HAYES WHEEL CO. Nov. 17, 1953 [April 13, 1953], No. 31895/53. Classes 83 (2) and 83 (4). Apparatus for making wheel rims includes rim blank fashioning mechanism, guide means along which blanks are advanced to said mechanism and stop means movable to position successive blanks for engagement by the fashioning mechanism and then away for discharge of the formed blank. Transversely welded annular rim blanks are fed down an inclined guide 5, supported between frame side plates 6, 7, to successive forming means 2, 3, 4 comprising opposed relatively movable dies 10, 11, Fig. 5, 12, 13, Fig. 6 (not shown), and 14, 15, Fig. 7 (not shown), respectively, which successively expand and shape the ends of the blank. The guide 5 comprises pairs of upper and lower guide members 27 and 28, 29 and 30, and 31 and 32 at the forming stations 2, 3 and 4 respectively, an initial guide shoot 33 and two lower guide members 34 and 35 between the forming stations. Each pair of upper and lower guides, e.g. 27 and 28, are carried by shafts, e.g. 37 and 38, slidable in the side frame plates 5, 6 so that when the die 11, which is secured to a plate 18, Fig. 5, is moved in by hydraulic means 24 to expand the blank in co-operation with the die 10, secured to the side plate 6, the guides 27, 28, through lost motion means 39, 40, are moved laterally with the blank. Each lower guide, e.g. 28, is pivotable with its shaft 38 against spring means 43 to compensate for increase in diameter of the blank during forming. The guide 34 is carried by a shaft 55 and is normally locked in position but may be pivoted downwards by the operator to discharge a rim blank if necessary. Each upper guide, e.g. 27, is formed with a depending stop 61 engageable with the rim blank to position it for the forming means and the guide is adapted to swing, to disengage the stop 61 from a blank or engage it with the next blank, by oscillating the shaft 37 by a yoke 70 on a rod 73 engaging a lever 64 on the shaft 37. The rod 73 is moved by pneumatic means 75 controlled by limit switches 76 actuated by rods 77 (not shown) on plates 18 &c. carrying the dies 11, 13, 15, as these plates are moved back from the blanks. Split and thus oversize blanks are detected by fingers 84 which control means to swing the guide 35 downwardly to discharge the blank.

Title: Improved manufacture of paper pulp and apparatus therefor
IPC: D21C3/24
Filed: 1921-12-01
Abstract: 193,965. Olier, A. Dec. 1, 1921. Pulp, preparation of. - Cellulose is obtained from ligneous materials in continuous manner, the cutting-up of the material, the separation of dust, the treatment with lye, bleaching, beating, and washing being effected successively in the same apparatus. In carrying out the process, the material is crushed by rollers 2, cut into short lengths at 4, pumped by a fan 9 to an agitator 10, wherein the dust is evacuated and from which the material falls into a macerating apparatus 12, and is there mixed with lye. The pulp and soda lye are fed through an outlet 13 to a press comprising two screws 14, 15, by which the pulp is squeezed through a conical chamber 16 into a lye vat 17 against the action of a valve 16<1>, the liquid squeezed out passing to a pulp collector. In the vat 17, lye from the vat 19 is sprinkled, and the material at the bottom is squeezed and fed by two screws 33, 34 to. the bottom of a washing-column 38, wherein two screws raise the material against the action of wash water to a beater 43. The beaten mass and water falls down a pipe 45 to a press 46, which eliminates the water and delivers the mass to two screws in a bleaching column 52, wherein it is raised against a stream of hypochlorite of soda admitted at branches 55. A press 58 squeezes out the bleaching liquor; the pulp is washed in a column 63, and delivered to a refiner 67, from which it passes to a pulp press or to a paper machine. The residual waters extracted are collected and the cellulose carried therewith is separated therefrom and returned to the circuit, and the liquid passed to a chloridizing vat wherein the combined organic substances are precipitated by hydrochloric acid or chlorine, and separated by decantation or filtration. The clear liquid containing sodium chloride is electrolyzed, and the soda, chlorine, and hypochlorite of soda produced are used in the present process. The material may be fed through the trunks by continuous chain conveyers, as shown in Fig. 4, the first and last trunks being higher than the intermediate trunks to ensure circulation of the liquid in opposition to that of the material. For the preparation of unbleached pulp suitable for cardboard or wrapping paper, bleaching and washing may be dispensed with, the maceration being effected by water at a suitable temperature. Where it is desired to carry out any operation under pressure, the material is fed into and out of a section of the apparatus through a vertical conduit closed by a distributor 94, Fig. 8, rotating. in a casing 97.

Abstract: 711,338. Valves. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Dec. 23, 1952 [Dec. 29, 1951], No. 32622/52. Class 135 Actuating mechanism for a valve 8 having a slidable stem 4 comprises a first fixed abutment defining an end position of the stem, e.g. the valve seat 9, a second fixed abutment defining the opposite end position of the stem, e.g. the seat 5b against which seats a stem shoulder 4a preventing leakage of steam along the stem, a floating bush 22 with an axial hole in which the stem freely slides, a third abutment 25 on the stem defining the lowest position of the bush relative to the stem, a fourth abutment 29 on the stem on the other side of the bush from the third abutment, means for positioning the bush longitudinally on the stem, a fifth fixed abutment 27 spaced from the end of the stem, a first coil spring 26a around the stem and engaging between the flfth abutment and the bush, and a second coil spring 26b within the first coil and engaging between the fourth abutment and the bush. The shaft 11 carries a number of cams 10 for operating a number of valves. As the cam is rotated it first moves the bush against both springs, through a roller 13 on a lever 14 adjustably pivoted to the housing 1 at 15, away from the third abutment 25 until the bush meets the fourth abutment 29 and cracks the valve open. Thereafter the cam and lever positions the stem and valve through the spring 26b, the spring 26a merely loading the roller on the cam. When the valve is fully open the shoulder 4a seats on the abutment 5b and further movement of the cam narrows the gap X between the bush and the fourth abutment and thus ensures that the shoulders 4a and seats 5b seal properly in the other valves. The valve may comprise a main valve 8 and an auxiliary valve 8a. The valve may also be cracked open through the spring 26b without the bush and fourth abutment engaging.
