Abstract: 6738. Bone, W. A., and McCourt, C. D. March 19. Pipes. - Accidental propagation of a flame backwards along a pipe conveying a combustible mixture of gases is prevented by introducing a plug of refractory porous material into an enlargement of the pipe, and means are provided for automatically cutting off the gas supply in the event of lighting back. The plug 3, made as described in Specification 25,808/09, [Class 75(i), Burners &c.], is contained in the casing 2 which forms part of the conduit 1. A cut-off valve 5 is held in position by a fusible wire 7 and spring 6 so that the valve is closed when the wire melts. At the same time, the handle of the valve completes a circuit with the contact 10 and thus rings the alarm 9 The invention may be applied to steamgenerators fired in the manner described in Specification 4362/10, [Class 123 (ii), Steamgenerators].

Abstract: 28,236. Pollak, J. E., [Steam Power Devices Co.]. Dec. 6. Indicating by temperature of superheated steam.-A water-level indicator operated by the temperature of the superheated steam from the boiler is shown in Fig. 19. The steam from a coil 35 passes over a heat-responsive element 59, such as a mercury bulb, connected by a fine bore tube with a device 61 having a pointer. When the water is low, the steam is correspondingly superheated and the pointer moves to indicate a low level. On the other hand, when the water is high, the steam is not superheated to the desired degree and the pointer moves in the opposite direction.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Making Bags, or Containers.
IPC: B31B3/28
Filed: 1912-09-09
Granted: 1913-05-29
Abstract: 1584. Rose, W., and Rose Bros. Sept. 9, 1912. Paper bags, making. - In a machine for making square-bottomed bags a creasing - blade mounted on or adjacent to one of the blades that fold the bottom of the bags is used to crease the paper to facilitate the formation of the folds. The top side of the paper tube projecting from the former 38, Fig. 2, is folded down by a blade 132. The blade is pivoted on an oscillating arm, and when in position close to the bag, it rotates on its pivot about an axis coincident with the edge of the former over which the paper is folded. The blade 132 holds the fold in place while the side fold 2 is turned down on to the end of the former by a blade 155, Fig. 3, which, during the folding, also rotates about the edge of the former. A creasing or breaking blade 181 is carried by the blade 155 and is capable of partial rotation about an axis coincident with the lower edge of the former. This rotation takes place after the side 2 is folded down by the blade 155 and creases or breaks the remaining portions of the paper along lines on which the subsequent folds are made, thus giving a predetermined shape to the folds. Fig. 4 shows its position after it has completed its rotation and formed the creases. In a modification, the blade 181 is formed in one with the blade 155 so that the latter, after it has folded down the side 2, rocks on an axis coincident with the lower edge of the former to crease the paper. In a further modification, the blade 181 is made separate from the blade 155 and is pivoted on any suitable part of the apparatus. The third side of the blank is now folded down by a third plate 202, Fig. 5, the blade 155 receding just before this third fold is completed. The fourth side 4 is next turned up on to an inclined part 215 of the folder 202 by a blade 214 which has an inclined part 216 corresponding to the part 215, as shown in Fig. 38. These folders finally recede, and the folds are held in place by any suitable means until adhesive previously applied has dried.

Title: Improvements in Type Casting Machines.
Inventor: BHISEY SHANKER ABAJI
IPC: B41B5/06
Filed: 1914-01-10
Granted: 1915-02-10
Abstract: 744. Bhisey, S. A. Jan. 10. Type-casting machines; moulds. -Relates to machines having a U-shaped mould closed by a platform or cover-plate on which the types are cast, and particularly to (1) improved means for holding down the type upon the platform to effect its extraction from the mould, and (2) means for casting hollow space types or quads. (1) The mould is formed by an adjustable block 1, Fig. 3, side wall 2, and body piece 3, and is closed at the bottom by a cover plate or platform 4. Set-width adjustment is effected by meana of a lever 15 and a screw 19, and bodywidth adjustment by exchange of the member 3. The upper part of the mould can be swung about a pivot 22 to give access to the interior. The matrixholder slides into position upon guides and has adjusting-means for matrices of different body. The platform 4 carries a slotted plate or hook-shaped member 5, Fig. 5, which 'forms part of the tang mould, so that when the platform descends, the type is drawn down with it. The usual nick-pin 12 has a wedge or other groove, which is filled by the molten metal so as to form a small projection which helps to hold the type to the platform. After the descent of the platform, the type is pushed off by a pusher 36 into a channel formed by a stationary platform 39 and an adjustable cover 40. The pusher 36 is formed in two relatively adjustable parts, which simultaneously engage the tang and the body of the type. The mould may move away from a stationary platform to which the type remains attached by means of undercut nick-forming pins. The tang mould may be of constant width or adjustable according to the set-width of the type. A spring-pressed sliding plate 111, Fig. 15, may co-operate with dragforming members 110 to hold the type to the platform, the plate also serving to wipe the front of the nozzle-plate. (2) Hollow space types or quads are cast shorter than ordinary types by means of a core 72, Fig. 11, attached by a narrow neck to a holder 74, which projects a short distance into the mould. Trimming type.-The projection which is formed in the nick of the type is removed during the ejection of the types by a knife-edge formed on the end of a head carried by the platform 39. In the form in which the platform remains stationary, the pusher which packs the types is formed in two relatively movable parts, which engage the body of the type and the tang respectively and are connected by a spring. The body of the type is arrested by a stop, and the compression of the spring causes the tang to be broken off. Additional nicks may be formed in the tyres by cutters 42, Fig. 3, having series of teeth, each of which is slightly lower than the following one. The cutters are adjustable by means of screws 44.
