Abstract: 5961. Gibbs, F. I. Feb. 27, 1908. Moulds; removing deposit from surfaces.- Glass, pottery, and other non-metallic and non- porous models for the electrolytic production of hollow-ware articles such as tea-pots, jugs, cups, vases, &c., which have projecting spouts, handles, feet, &c., are formed with a deep groove 2 around the base of the projecting part 3 so that the material of the model being thinner at that part will break away evenly when the body ot the model is to be removed, leaving the projecting part 3 embedded in the deposited metal 5.

Inventor: BOLAND MATHIEU ERNEST
Filed: 1909-04-27
Granted: 1909-12-31
Abstract: 9957. Boland, M. E. April 27. Paper pipes and tubes.-Relates to machines for making conical paper tubes such as are used in spinning and weaving, of the type in which two equal trapezoidal blanks are cut from a single piece, are then lowered, and moved to the respective mandrels on which they are wound. The web of paper passes through adjustable feed-rollers A<1> to a holder C in the position indicated by broken lines, and a piece sufficient for two blanks is severed by a knife (not shown). One of the jaws of the holder C has an adjustable knife which divides the paper into two equal trapezoidal blanks. The holder is then lowered to the position shown in full lines, and ordinary grippers, not shown, move the blanks in opposite directions to the mandrels B on which they are wound in the usual way. On the way to the mandrels, the blanks are brought to rest opposite to rounding-cutters (not shown), which trim the end of the blank. The holder C is carried by a link-work parallelogram f, and is raised and lowered by links G, H operated by an eccentric I. The gripper carriages p, p<1> are connected through links U, U<1> and gearing sectors N, N'. The links U are oscillated by links S', S and an eccentric L so that the carriages p, p<1> reciprocate simultaneously in opposite direction. The feedrollers A<1> are journaled in a frame 1 adjustable on a segmental base-plate 3, which in turn is adjustable on the bed of the machine by means of slots 7 and bolts 6. The rollers are driven from a shaft 17 through gear wheels 18, 16, 12, 11, 10, 8. The shaft 13 carrying the gear wheels 16, 12 is jointed at 14.

Abstract: 17,481. Marks, E. C. R., [Soc. Anon. des Plieuses Automatiques]. July 27. Packeting by wrapping-up.-Relates to machines of the type in which the article and wrapper are conveyed through a folding-box to form flaps at the corners, which are afterwards folded down. The article a, Fig. 3, and the wrapper b are pushed up by a plunger 4 into the folding- box 10; and the folding-arms 13 form two folds as shown in Fig. 9. The folding is continued by the surfaces 12, 12<1>, the latter of which are recessed further back than the former, in order that the flap f, Fig. 10, may be folded inside the flap g. In a modification, a member of horseshoe shape projects across the mouth of the box to direct the flaps. In another modification, the folding-arms 13 are flanged inwards to form a pleat i, Fig. 21, so that, on folding in the flaps f, g, there are three thicknesses of material at the corners. The folding is completed by plungers acting in conjunction with a channel at right-angles to the motion of the plunger.

The screw is strengthened at the end by metal arms and paddles, and longitudinal stays passing through the paddles may be employed. In order to give flexibility, a wire rope may be used instead of a rigid shaft. For transmitting power to a distance, a series of floating shafts, Fig. 15, on which helical windings are formed, may be provided. The motor may actuate an electric generator or a dredging-apparatus g, g<1>, Fig. 6.

P r i n t i n g - s u r f a c e s ; make-ready arrangements.-Relates to the process of preparing printing-plates in which a plate and matrix are secured to a bed and the back of the plate trimmed by means of a shaving - knife, the plate and matrix being subsequently treated by heat and pressure to produce permanent elevations and depressions in the face of the plate. According to the present invention, the plate and matrix are carried by a travelling bed under a fixed knife and the back of the plate is subjected to local pressure along the same in close proximity to the shaving-knife, so that the unsupported parts of the plate are forced away from the knife, leaving a greater thickness of metal at such parts. The plate 34, Fig. 9, and matrix 34<1> are carried by a bed 2, Fig. 3, under a knife 15, and the plate is acted on by a series of barrelled rollers 33 carried by pivoted arms 31 controlled by adjustable springs 37. An adjustable cramping-roller 42 is also provided, all the mechanism being similar to that described in Specifications 25,872/09 and 25,879/09. After the plate 34 has been trimmed to the required thickness, it is placed with the matrix 34<1> and a layer of blotting-paper 51, Fig. 12, on a press-board 50, and is subjected to heat so as to cause the back of the plate 34 to become even and to transfer the depressions and elevations to the front of the plate. The plate and matrix are cooled under pressure.

Abstract: 17,693. Massey, H. F., and Clayton, H. July 26. Hand and foot operated gears; slide valves.- In a fluid-pressure hammer or the like there is provided a valve capable of one motion derived from the tup and a second hand - controlled motion in a direction more or less transverse to the first, so that the valve can be moved by hand into positions in which the automatic motion enables the tup (1) to be held up, (2) to strike a dead blow and (3) to strike timed blows. In the form shown, the valve a has a sliding motion derived from the tup through the action of the roller p, lever o, and spindle j, and a rotary motion derived from the handle r, link s, bevelwheels u, v and spindle j. The valve has three sets of diametrically-opposed passages y, z, 1, so arranged that, when the valve is in the position shown in sectional plan in Fig. 5, the bottom of the hammer-cylinder is open to exhaust through the ports e, Fig. 3, and passages 5, and steam is admitted to the top through the ports g, passages y, and ports d. As the tup descends, the valve also moves downwards into the position shown in Fig. 4, in which the ports d are closed so that a dead blow is given. If the valve is now turned by hand through an angle of sixty degrees so that the passages z come into line with the ports g, steam passes through ports g, passages z, and ports e to the bottom of the hammer-cylinder, and the top is open to exhaust through the ports d and notches 2. As the tup rises, the valve also moves upwards into the position shown in Fig. 6, in which the ports d, e are closed so that the tup is held up. If the valve is turned further through an angle of sixty degrees into the position shown in Fig. 9, the tup strikes timed blows, the passages 1 and the notches 3, 4 being arranged to permit this. The edges of the ports and passages may be inclined, and leakage passages 6, 7, Fig. 6, may be formed through the valve.
