Abstract: 20,286. Nobel's Explosives Co., and Hodge, H. D. Sept. 5. Cartridge-loading machines.-The object is to feed percussion - cap chambers or other like articles one by one in the right direction from a heap. According to the invention, a hopper is mounted on a rocking arm, and a pivoted pipe is passed up into the bottom of the hopper, so that, as the hopper moves, the pipe agitates a pile of cap chambers in the hopper and these fall down the pipe on to a pair of inclined rails along which they glide with their flange resting on the top of the rails and their cylindrical part between the rails. As shown, the pipe d, which is pivoted at its lower end and passes into the hopper a carried by the rocking arm b, has a pair of fingers f which are pressed inwards by spring h and are withdrawn alternatelv by stops g, while the rocking takes place, to allow one cap chamber only at a time to fall into the mouth i of a channel formed by the rails j, and covering-rails p. A lid m pivoted at l and locked by a fastening n permits access to the channel, if a cap should get across the rails. A stop t pivoted to a bracket u may be provided to stop the feed whenever desired. Fig, 1 also shows a fraction of a tool r for inserting the cap chambers into cartridge cases below.

Abstract: 11,958. McCourt, C. D., and Bonecourt Surface Combustion, Ltd. May 22. [Cognate Applications, 11,959/13 and 26,255/13.] Internally-fired boilers.-Feed-water heaters and liquid-heaters in general, of the kind wherein the heat is transmitted to the liquid only through the surfaces of the water-tubes, fire-tubes, and walls separating the liquids from the burning or burnt gases, are heated by the combustion of heavy oils and air introduced, in proportions substantially those necessary for full and complete combustion, into a mixing-chamber wherein combustion begins ; the resulting gases issue as an homogeneous combustible mixture, the combustion of which is completed, as surface combustion, on or near the surfaces of masses of refractory material adjacent to the plates or tube walls of the liquid-containers. Further refractory material is arranged beyond tbis. Fig. 1 shows such a mixing-chamber 3, refractory material 1, and various accessories arranged in and near a tube 2 traversing a waterapace. Fuel such as crude petroleum, petroleum residues, tar oil. &c. is injected by a needle valve 11, and air is supplied by a pipe 12 so as to carry the oil spray into the mixing-chamber 3, wherein combustion begins. The combustion is normally completed on the surfaces of the refractory material 1, but if the walls of the outlet 8 have sufficient area they may constitute the surface whereon surface combustion takes place, the material 1 then acting as a heat radiator or deflector. The partition may have more than one outlet 8. The closure 5 has an ignition orifice 15 and an observation pipe 20. The apparatus may be operated by induced draught.

Title: Improvements in Printing Presses.
IPC: B65H7/06
Filed: 1913-07-25
Granted: 1914-05-21
Abstract: 17,081. Marks, E. C. R., [Kandle-Born Co.]. July 25. Throw - out arrangements.- Relates to apparatus for use in printing - machines whereby if a sheet is not fed correctly up to the gauges, an electric circuit is completed, the machine is tripped, and the sheet returned over the feed-board. Above the impression cylinder 11 is located a shaft 13 carrying arms 14, to one of which is adjustably secured a bracket 15. Mounted in the bracket 15 is a friction roller 16 which is normally clear of the cylinder 11 but capable of movement into contact therewith if a sheet is improperly fed. At the other end of the brackets 15 is a shaft 24 carrying two rollers 25 capable of being lowered into contact with the feed-board 10 and driven by chain 18 and spur gearing from a sprocket - wheel on the roller 16. The up- and-down movement of the bracket 15 with the rollers 16, 25 is effected by means of an arm 33 on a rod 29, reciprocated vertically by an arm 30 and a cam 51<1>. The bracket 15 carries a shaft 35 on which is an arm 34 resting in contact with the arm 33, an arm 36 connected by a link 38 to a plunger 39 sliding in guides in the bracket 15, and an arm 37 adapted to contact with an adjustable stop 42 to limit the pressure of the rollers 25, 16 respectively on the feedboard 10 and impression cylinder 11. The rollers 25 are adjustable independently of the rollers 16. In the normal operation of the machine, descent of the rod 29 is prevented by a stop 49 sliding axially in the main frame. If a sheet is incorrectly fed, a circuit is completed through contacts 110 and a timing-contact on the cam 51<1> and the stop 49 withdrawn, whereby the rollers 25 are lowered on to the feed-board 10 and the mis-fed sheet returned over the board. The stop 49, Fig. 11, is surrounded by a spring 54, which tends to retract it, but is normally held forward by a latch 65, bearing a roller 66, which, when the latch is held raised by the armature 55<1> of the electro-magnet 55, engages the head 81<1> of a lever 81, and causes the arm 77 to eject the stop 49. The latch is reset by a roller 75 which engages a cam 63 on the main gear 56. The shaft 68 carrying the arms 77, 81 is furnished also with a crank resting behind the lever 70, which is operated by a cam on the face of the gear 56 to control the movement of the impression cylinder into and out of contact with the type. When the magnet 55 is excited, the crank on the shaft 68 allows the lever 70 to move inwards against the cam, so that when no sheet is present, the impression cylinder is moved out of contact with the forme.

The ends of the shaft enter dust-tight casings d attached to the beam c, and there engage by screw or bevel gear with nuts on screwed ends of the brake rods f; or ratchet-wheels e<2>, Fig. 6, on the shaft e engage racks f<1> on the rods f locked by pawls d'. When sufficient wear occurs, the pawl h<3> takes up a tooth on the wheel e<1> as the brakes are applied, so that, when the lever h returns, the shaft e is rotated slightly, and the rods f are adjusted. The pawl h<3> may be released by an arm h<5>. In a modification, the rod g is connected to the lever b at the other side of its pivotal connexion with the beam c. In the form shown in Figs. 10 and 11, the ratchet levers h are mounted at their upper ends on fixed pivots, and are rocked by the bodily movement of the adjuster shafts each time the brakes are applied.

Abstract: 24,018. Ravelli, A. Oct. 23. Actuating by wave mills; single-acting piston pumps; stroke, varying.-Relates to apparatus of the type described in Specification 28,952/11, [Class 692, Hydraulic apparatus &c.], in which an oscillating platform partly immersed in the sea is pivoted at the seaward end on a supporting- carriage. Mounted on a platform at the landward end of the carriage are a series of pumps 37, Figs.1, 4, and 5, which are operated through linkages by the oscillation of the platform 1. The platform comprises a framed structure hinged to the supporting-carriage at 13 and provided with a double bottom at its inner end, the upper bottom 9 being curved and provided at intervals with valved openings 10. The platform is held in its raised position by means of jointed rods 16, connected through bell-cranks 17, 18, to a plate 21, and also by means of cables 65 which pass over pulleys and are connected to counterweights 64. The pumps are connected to the oscillating platform through connecting-rods 35 and the bellcrank 33, Figs. 1 and 4. The inclination of the platform and stroke of the pumps are regulated by means of blocks 40, 42, mounted on screws on the bell-crank 33. On a wave rushing up the platform 1 and striking against the plate 21 the platform falls, oscillating the bell-crank 33 and thus operating the pumps. On the return of the wave, the plate 21 is again struck and, bending the bell-cranks 17,18, causes the return of the platform, this being assisted by the counterweights 64. The pumps 37 are of the form shown in Fig. 5, and each consists of a cylinder provided with a gland and packing 48, 49, a trunk piston 57 and valves 51, 53. To allow of easy disconnexion, the connecting-rods are formed in two parts connected together by a nut having right and left handed screw-threads. The whole apparatus is supported on rails 30 mounted on piles 69. The supporting-carriage is built in sections hinged together, and the wheels are provided with weight-operated brakes 32. To allow for the varying direction of the waves, three tracks are provided at angles to one another, a turntable being employed to direct the apparatus on to the track required.
