Title: An Improved Machine for Making Horse-shoes.
Inventor: MACKENZIE EDWARD BYRON
Filed: 1907-09-19
Granted: 1908-01-30
Abstract: 20,828. Mackenzie, E. B., Mackenzie, N. H., and Mackenzie, M. K. Sept: 19. Bending; forging; rolling; straightening.-In a machine for making horseshoes, blanks are fed in and straightened and impressed by dies, and are then conveyed automatically to bending-apparatus, from which they pass to rolling-apparatus for forming the clip ; they are then ejected, the nail holes being formed subsequently. The feed carriage G<2>, Fig. 3, is operated by cam actuated bell-crank levers and returned by springs, and a bar H<2> straightens the blanks before the dies h<1>, Fig. 1, swage them to the form shown in Fig. 7, a projection being left to form the clip. The dies are removable to suit the size and style of the shoe. Rods L<1> push the blanks to carriers J, operated by links K<2>, K<4> from the cam shaft (not shown), which lower them to the bending-mandrel M<1>. Cam and lever operated slides 0, Fig. 2, move simultaneously to centre the blanks, which are held against the mandrel M', horizontally by a lever N aud vertically by a bridge-piece P. The lever N is actuated by a cam-operated rod N<4> and is provided with an eccentric adjusting-fulcrum N<1>. The bridge-piece P is operated by a cam P<2>, Fig. 1, on the main shaft D of the machine, and is spring- returned. The bending is effected by articulated arms Q<3>, Fig. 6, on a cam-operated slide Q, rollers on the arms engaging inclined guides Q<4>. At the completion of the bending operation, the mandrel M is lowered by cams below the bed of the machine, and the bent blank is pushed forward by a finger T until it is arrested by a pin U, Fig. 1. The finger T is mounted on a rod S<6> moved by a rack and pinion from a segment S<4>, operated :by levers and cams from the cam shaft of the machine. The segment is operated by two cams, the first of which gives a small forward movement and the second of which continues it. The bent blank is held and flattened by a cam-operated block X<2>, while a roller Y' carried on a slide Y<1> rolls down the clip. This slide is operated by a cam Y, Fig. 8, articulated and provided with a breaking piece y which yields to avoid damage should excessive compression occur- The pin U co-operates with ejecting -pins U<1>, and they are,so arranged and actuated that the pin U is lifted as the others are towered, and vice versa. After the clip is formed, the pins U<1> lift the shoe above the table, and kickers Z on the slide Y<1> eject it.

Patent GB-190803503-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Flushing Valves for Water Closets.
Inventor: HAAS PHILIP
Filed: 1908-02-15
Granted: 1908-07-09
Abstract: 3503. Haas, P. Feb. 15. Diaphragm v a l v e s ; waste preventing valves.- A rubber-diaphragm valve C moves loosely on a spindle F, the space x between the spindle and a metal sleeve c<3> acting as a passage for water between the service pipe and a chamber b behind the valve. When the knob E is pressed, a valve D is opened, and the water in the chamber escapes by a passage b<5> into the outlet a<6>, which is connected to the closet basin. The valve C is thereupon opened by the pressure in the service pipe, and water passes through holes a<4> in a web a<3> into the outlet. The flush continues until the pressure in the chamber b of the water which has passed through the space x balances that in the service pipe and the valve is closed. To limit the duration of flow a suitable number of washers K is placed on the spindle F. To allow of examination &c. without cutting off the main water supply a cut-off disk valve may be provided in the inlet passage. The spindle F may alternatively be supported by an arm a<15>, Fig. 11 ; in this case the lift of the valve is regulated by means of a screwed sleeve c<5>. In another form, Fig. 13, the valve is held by nuts and washers upon the walls of a chamber A<1> formed on the closet basin A. The lift of the valve E is limited by a plate G loosely attached by a screw g to the casing. The lift of the plate is governed by an adjustable screw h<2>. In a form adapted for seataction, Fig. 17, provision is made for two flushes. When the seat S is depressed, the relief valve is opened, and the valve E<1> rises, giving a flush. The valve E<1> is then closed by contact with the end f<14> of the spindle F. A second flush occurs on liberation of - the seat. In a modification of this form, a third valve is located on the spindle F and prevents escape of water along the passage b<6> while the seat is occupied. The form shown in Fig. 13 may be made with a complete casing as shown in Fig. 1.
