Patent GB-191206030-A (GB)
Title: Buffing Machines.
Inventor: GROVER GEORGE BENJAMIN
IPC: A43D95/08
Filed: 1912-03-11
Granted: 1913-03-06
Abstract: 6030. Grover, G. B. March 23, 1911, [Convention date]. Roller apparatus.-A machine for buffing the skived edges of leather articles, such as counters and box toes, comprises a table 9 moved to and fro longitudinally by a grooved cam acting through an arm 55 of adjustable throw. Upon the table are pins 162 carrying a plate 62 having an internal opening corresponding in shape with the skived article to be buffed, the edges of the opening being bevelled at 65, so that when the article is laid over the opening in the plate with its central portion unsupported or resting on a central spring plate, the skived edges are pressed upwards by the bevelled edges and present an horizontal surface to the huffing- roller 4. The buffing-roller is mounted in bearings 139, 140, pivotally carried by vertical pistons 141, 142, moved up and down to adjust the height of the roller by turning a handwheel 153 on a shaft 151 carrying bevel-pinions 149, 150, engaging bevel-pinions 147, 148, on screw-rods passing through the pistons. One of the bevel-pinions 149 may be disconnected from the shaft 151 to allow of the roll carrying shaft 17 being adjusted to an angle with the horizontal. As the table 9 is moved towards the buffing-roller the skived article is retained in position on the plate by a gauge moving with the table until the article is seized by a gripping-arm 68, which is actuated through a lever 69 by a cam surface 75 on the machine frame to hold the skived article against displacement by the buffing-roller, and is released by a cam surface 76<a> to release the work as it passes finally under the buffing-roller. After leaving the buffing-roller, the work passes under a gripping-roller 6, up along a lifting-plate 117, under a rotary brush 5, and is delivered on to a plate 138 by rollers 7, 8.

Title: Improvements in Buffer Couplers.
IPC: B61G3/16
Filed: 1912-05-17
Granted: 1913-05-15
Abstract: 11,770. Cossey, C., Mitchell, J., Watson, C., and A. B. C. Coupler, Ltd. May 17. Couplings, automatic, of the kind in which each buffer coupler-head carries a fixed or a rotatable hook and a link mounted on a transverse pin behind the hook, coupling being effected by the engagement of one link with the hook on the opposing head. To allow the coupler-head to be formed with a cover portion 3, 4 to strengthen it and to exclude dust, the points of the links 5, 6 are prevented from rising too far by lengthening the usual slots 7, 8 in which the inner ends of the links are pivoted. In the case of a rotatable hook, Fig. 2, a locking-device enclosed within the couplerhead comprises a pawl 9 pivoted on the hook 2 and adapted, when the hook is rotated to coupling position, to move under gravity or spring action to catch under an abutment 11 on the coupler-head. For uncoupling, the pawl 9 is returned by the action of a cam-piece 12 on a transverse operating-shaft. As the hook is rotated in separating the vehicles, a shoulder 20 pushes back the cam-piece 12 to free the pawl 9. For shunting, a second narrower cam 14, Figs. 2 and 4, on the same shaft as the cam 12 can be brought to bear against the pawl 9 to hold it in the unlocked position. A groove in the shoulder 20 enables this to clear the cam 14 in this position when the hook is rotated. Couplings, applications of indicators to.- Sight-holes 17, 18 are provided in the walls of the coupler-heads to indicate whether the hook is locked or unlocked. The handles on each shaft carrying the cams 12, 14, are located outside the walls of the coupler-heads, and their positions indicate whether the cam 12 or the cam 14 or neither is bearing against the pawl 9.

Granted: 1913-03-20
Abstract: 13,067. Macdonald, J. June 4. [Cognate Application, 14,033/12.] Tracks and grounds.-Turf for making lawns, greens, &c. is obtained by sowing grass seeds on a textile or like material, keeping it moist until the seeds have germinated, and then treating with manure to promote root growth. In one arrangement, seeds are sown on strips of paper pegged down in position on the levelled and manured ground which is to be turfed. Manure may be incorporated with the paper, and the seeds covered with sterilized soil, which is kept moist. Manure is applied when the grass begins to grow. In a modification, grass is grown on flannel, which is afterwards rolled up and transferred to the site of the lawn. The grass may be grown under glass or in the open, the flannel being kept moist with water or liquid manure. Soil may be rubbed into the fabric, with or without manure. Grass or fibre matting, woollen or cotton fabric, or the like may be substituted for the paper or flannel. The material may be selected to decay slowly or rapidly. According to Provisional Specification 14,035/12, an adhesive may be used to retain the seeds on the fabric.

Title: Improvements in the Production of Aluminium Sulphate from its Solution.
IPC: C01F7/746

Granted: 1913-09-25
Abstract: 26,616. Hewellyn, I. P., and Spence & Sons, P. Nov. 20. Crystallizing; film evaporators. - Aluminium sulphate is obtained from its solutions in the form of flakes by rubbing thin films of the solution upon a surface or layer of previously formed crystals of aluminium sulphate or between two such layers, under conditions favouring rapid evaporation, and then removing the crystalline product. The solution of about 1À5 to 1À6 specific gravity is distributed, at or near its boiling-point, upon a revolving drum and pressed out by a spreader into a thin film, the solution thus being rubbed between crystals on the drum and crystals on the spreader. To prevent undue accumulation of crystals in front of the spreader, a steam-heated pipe may be arranged a little above the drum. At a suitable point a scraper is arranged to peel off the crystals, a thin layer being, however, preferably left on the surface.

Abstract: 29,112. Thornton, J. E. Dec. 17. Kinematograph picture films; chromo-gelatine and like processes.-Monochrome kinematograph films are produced by the carbon or other bichromated colloid process in which a transparent film is printed from the back and developed by hot water from the front. The image-forming pigment or colour may be lampblack, chalk, baryta, coloured pigments, precipitated or insoluble dye, or dye and a mordant. The pigments are mixed with the colloid before exposure and the dyes may either be mixed with the colloid or applied to it as a staining bath after development. The film is perforated after printing. For printing, developing, and finishing the film, apparatus such as described in Specifications 26,997/11, 3384/12, 14,433/12, and 28,875/12 is used; and for perforating the film after exposure, the apparatus described in Specification 12,230/12, [Class 31 (ii), Punching &c.], is used.

Title: Improvements in Sewing Machines.

Filed: 1914-01-27
Granted: 1915-01-21
Abstract: 2204. Schoenky, A. R. Feb. 4, 1913, [Convention date]. Sewing - machines; stopping-gear, non-automatic. - A sewing-machine is brought to rest by bringing a variablespeed gear to zero position. This is done by power supplied by the driven shaft of the machine when coupled to a gear - shifting mechanism. The variablespeed gear may be carried beyond zero position to secure a reversal of the machine before finally stopping. The machine, shown in Fig. 1, is driven by a friction disk gear, and the driven wheel 49 is moved to the centre of the disk 47 by means of rack rods 59, 65 coupled by spur pinions 61, 63, when the rod 65 is coupled to a cam-disk 69 rotated once for each two stitching cycles by a pinion 73. The coupling is effected by moving the disk 69 laterally to cause the cam-bowl 68 to enter a groove in the disk, and the disk is moved laterally by gear 77, 79, 80 associated with a knee-lever 75. The cam-groove in the disk 69 commences with a concentric portion 81, Fig. 2, followed by an eccentric portion 70 extending for three hundred and sixty degrees. The end of the groove is closed by a spring-pressed buffer 98, which brings the machine positively to rest. If the groove is shaped as shown in Fig. 5, the eccentric portion 95, beyond the point 96 at which the variable-speed gear is in zero position, causes a reversal of the machine, which comes to rest when the cam-bowl arrives a second time at the point 96. When the rod 65 is released by the backward movement of the cam-disk, the spring 67 presses the rod upward, and the machine is re-started.
