Patent GB-190904037-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Casks, Drums, Packing Cases and the like, and in Machinery for Manufacturing the same.
Inventor: HEWITT WILLIAM WALTER
IPC: B27M3/36
Filed: 1909-02-18
Granted: 1910-03-18
Abstract: 4037. Hewitt, W. W. Feb. 18. D r i l l i n g-machines.-A machine for forming casks, d r u m s, packing- c a s e s, &c. from sheets of slats or staves connected by being riveted to parallel bands comprises a hopper 1 holding the staves, the lowermost of which lies in front of a pusher 2. This pusher is caused to reciprocate by cam action, and it forces the s t a v e s through guides and i n t o close contact with each other, in the making of a cask, as shown in Fig. 1, or spaces them apart as in making a packing - c a s e. The first one rests against a dummy stave 5 carried on spring arms projecting from t h e rings 7, which are rotated by toothed gearing from a crank-disk on the continuously - rotating shaft 15, thereby effecting t h e step-by-step rotation of the dummy stave 5. Before a cask &c. is started, the requisite number of metal bands are led from the coils 19 beneath punches 20 and secured to the dummy stave, and, as the latter advances, the bands are brought beneath drills 23 operated by bevel-gears from the shaft 25, these drills, passing through the perforations in the bands, make holes in the staves. The dummy stave may have a projection, so that after the insertion of the last stave trip mechanism is actuated to throw out of gear successively the pusher, punch, drill, and rivet feeding &c. mechanism, or this result may be effected by a series of cams, and after the riveting of the last stave, the metal bands are severed, the dummy stave is pushed inwards, and the cask closes of its own accord and rests upon the carriage 68 supported by wheels running on rails 70. Instead of the staves being fed into the machine as described above, they may be formed into cask shape in trussing-machine and placed in the machine for the boring and riveting operations.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Explosion Turbines.
Inventor: LAREINTY-THOLOZAN JULES DE
IPC: F02C3/00

Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 27,090. Tholozan, J. de Lareinty-. Dec. 11, 1908, [Convention date]. Working-fluid supply.-The hydrocarbon supplied to a gas turbine is heated and vaporized by the exhaust, and is then passed through an injector where air is drawn in and the explosive mixture formed. Spirit enters by a pipe 12 and passes through a passage 13 to a pump 4, actuated by a cam on the turbine shaft. It then passes to a helically-coiled pipe 1 arranged in the exhaust chamber 2 and exhaust passage 6. The vaporized spirit passes through a valve 7 to an injector 8, producing a mixture of vapour and air which is passed into an annular chamber 14. It then passes through check valves 16 to chambers 15. Valves 17, operated from the turbine shaft, periodically admit the mixture to the turbine, and at the same time cause the sparking-plugs 22 to emit a spark and explode the mixture, the gases generated then actuating the turbine. When the delivery of spirit from the pump 4 exceeds a predetermined limit, it passes through an adjustable relief-valve 9 back to the suction side of the pump. A burner 29 supplies the heat required for the initial vaporization, or the turbine may be started by using a reservoir of compressed gaseous mixture. In a modification, the compression of the mixture is effected by means of a compound injector device operated by steam generated by exhaust gases. Regulation may be effected by throttling the spirit, or by varying the capacity of the explosion chambers. Cooling parts.-The turbine is cooled externally by a water jacket and internally by air, the spokes of the spiders supporting the rotor being formed after the manner of screw-fan blades.

Title: Improvements in Advertising Apparatus.
Inventor: CASEY JOSEPH VINCENT
IPC: G09F11/06
Filed: 1909-11-23
Granted: 1910-06-30
Abstract: 27,285. Casey, J. V. Nov. 23. Rotary hinged leaves and the like.-An advertising - device is described, in which an intermittently rotated vertical frame bears vertical rotary panels on vertical rods around its periphery, with means for throwing one or more of the panels into a radial position at each intermittent movement of the frame. A motor m, Fig. 1, drives a crown-wheel b continuously through worm-gearing. A semicircular rib b<5> on the disk b strikes with its cam-face b<6> a projection c<11> on a rocking arm C, Figs. 1, 2, 5, and 6, attached to a fixed spindle a<3>, and raises the right-hand end, so that a projection c<4> enters the path of stops j<2>, attached to the ends of rods h<2>, supporting advertising-panels i<2> in a rotary frame g; and a stop c<9> on an arm c<6>, projecting laterally from the arm c, enters the higher path, traversed by similar stops j<2> on other rods h<3>, placed alternately with the rods h<2>. The left-hand end of the rod c sinks down, and a projection c<4> enters the path of the stops on the ends of the rods h<2>, while the corresponding stop c<9> enters the path of the stop on the rods h<3>; then, teeth b<4> on a plate b3, attached to the disk b rotate the gear-wheels d<2>, which engage holes g<5> in the lower disk g<3> of the frame g, and so each rod h is moved into the position of the rod preceding it. Thus, the stops behind the projections on the arms c, c<6> traverse the gaps c<3>, c<10> to their next positions, and, in so doing, encounter the ends of the fixed trip e. A stop j, Fig. 4, on the end of a rod h<2>, strike the projections e<5> of the trip e, and so throws its panel into a radial position. This occurs on both sides of the frame g simultaneously. Then, at the next movement, the triangular piece j<3> on the stop j encounters the other projection e<6> of the trip e, and so is thrown over tangentially to the rotary frame g once more. If the stop and tripper mechanism at one end of the bar be omitted, only one of the frames i<2> will be operated at each movement of the frame g.

Abstract: 2293. Coutant, J. R. Jan. 30, 1909, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Rammers.-Relates to a road locomotive or steam - roller carrying rows of rammers operated through clutches from the driving - gear of the machine, the drop of the rammers being increased for each successively operating row. According to the invention each ram a is carried by a rod f adapted to slide in a guide g which can be adjusted about a pivot g<1> to place the ram normal to the camber of the road. Each rod f is connected by a cable l to a shoe j<1> on a pulley mounted with the corresponding pulleys of the same row of rammers on a crossshaft rotated from the driving-gear of the machine. The shoe j<1> is held on the pulley j by a cable connexion l<1> to a spring l<2> fixed to the machine. As the pulley j is rotated, fingers j<3> advance the shoe j<1> and raise the ram until rollers j<2> on the shoe run along cams m to raise the shoe clear of the pulley and allow the ram to fall. The drop is increased for each successive row of rammers by adjustment of the cams m, by moving levers n along sectors o, the cams of each row being connected for simultaneous adjustment. The rams a are raised when not in use by cables 23 wound on shafts 24. The driving-gear is such that the machine can be propelled either directly from the motor or indirectly through the shaft which operates the first row of rammers.

Shock absorbea by resistance of timber blocks to t h e shearing or tearing away of core. - Relates to buffers, cushioning - devices, and energy - absorbing devices of the kind in which the resisting- medium is wholly cr partly destroyed in operation, applicable to protecting-chains for locks in canals, rivers, and similar places, or to booms for protecting harbours, or to mooring-chains, chains for lifts and mine cages, cranes, and the like, towing- ropes for ships, and to other purposes, and consists in utilizing the resistance offered by a timber or similar block to the shearing or tearing away of its central core. In the construction illustrated, two timber blocks A, bound by metal bands J to prevent splitting, are separated by a distance-piece E and are bolted between end-plates C. Bolts D pass through each block, the bolts each having a collar H on the inner end and an eye K at the outer end. One or more of these devices are inserted in a protecting-chain &c., the chain being connected to the eyes K, so that, when any shock acts upon the chain, the collars H and bolts D are drawn through the blocks, thus tearing out the central core of each block. The hole in each end-plate C may be equal in area to the collar H, or it may be greater or less than the area of the collar, depending upon whether it is desired to choke the exit of the material of the core. In a modified arrangement, one block A only is used, the eye K being connected to one part of the chain &c., and the block itself to the other.
