Title: An Improved Method of and Apparatus for the Production of Half-stuff from Peat.
Inventor: BECK OSCAR PETER
Filed: 1906-11-28
Granted: 1907-06-20
Abstract: 27,126. Beck, O. P. Nov. 28. Stamps, ore and like.-Relates to a method of, and apparatus for, reducing peat turf to half-stuff. The peat turf 35 is placed on the iron, stone, or other bed of a rotating carrier 36, supported on flanged rollers 10, and continuously rotated by a pinion 15 engaging the teeth of a rack 16 on its underside. Four pairs of stampers, of the forms shown at 17, 18, 19, and 20, Fig. 3, respectively, act successively on the peat turf as it is carried round by the carrier 36. These stampers are mounted on stems 21 formed with loops 22 and guided in openings. in the upper cross-heads 9 and in the lower cross - heads 6. The loops 22 surround shafts 24, set radially over the carrier, and are provided with pins or tappets 25 with which cams 23 on the shafts 24 engage and thus raise the stampers. The shafts 24 are driven from the belt shaft 14 through toothed wheels 34, 33, 30, 29, 27, 26. The stampers, raised by cams 23, fall by their own weight and remain in contact with the material until they are again raised by the cams. The material is thus submitted to a stamping and a drawing action.

Patent GB-190814313-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Drilling Wood Lags or Staves for the Cylinders and Rollers of Carding Machines and the like.
Inventor: WARBURTON SILVESTER
Filed: 1909-01-06
Granted: 1909-09-02
Abstract: 14,313. Warburton, S., and Taylor, H. Jan. 6, 1909. Drilling.-In a machine for drilling wood lags or stages for the cylinders and rollers of carding-engines &c., the drilling-heads, which are reciprocated towards the work, are traversed backwards and forwards for spacing the holes, the work being mounted in a tilting head to ensure the correct drilling angle for each row of holes. The drilling-heads A, which are connected together by adjusting-screws, are operated through a rack on one of the heads by a skew-wheel on the shaft B, which is intermittently rotated in either direction by one of the pawls M, M<1>, which are mounted on levers G, G<1> connected by a link J and operated by a connecting-rod and crank from the shaft L, which is driven through a clutch and worm gear from the cone 27, Fig. 8. Ratchet - wheels I, I<1>, provided with teeth according to the spacing required, are mounted on shafts B, B' which are connected by gearing F, F<1>, and the pawls are alternately put out of operation by slides H, H<1> which rest on spring studs 36 and are operated by a lever N connected by rods Q, Q<1> to two pointed horizontal slides P, P<1> engaging a pair of cam-disks R, R<1>. These disks are rotated by gears S, S' from a shaft which is intermittently rotated by a pawl V on a lever T oscillated by a rod W from the shaft L, the pawl engaging a ratchet-wheel W having teeth corresponding to the number of holes to be drilled in each row. To obtain the correct alternation of spacing of the successive rows of holes, the spur-wheel F is carried by a double lever so as to be loose on the shaft B to permit of adjustment for the alternation of spacing or for taking-up wear in the rack and skew wheel. The lever T also oscillates a pawl lever 10, which engages a ratchetwheel 8 connecting by skew and spur gear 5, 7 with the screw 3 for vertically adjusting the work slide 2. The pawl is held out of action except at the completion of each rotation of the wheel W by a slide 12 operated by a notched disk 13. The work standard is pivoted at Z and fixed by bolts 1. The work slide 2 is pivoted to the standard, and, in order to obtain the correct drilling radius for each successive row of holes, it has a finger 19 which engages a groove 18 in a bracket fixed at any angle on the standard. The drill heads are reciprocated by a cam 22, Fig. 8, on the shaft L, and adjustable weighted rod 23, and a lever 24 ; the drills move quickly up to the lag, then slowly until the drill properly enters the wood to give a better start when working at acute angles and to prevent bending the drills, and then feed quickly through the wood. In order to stop the machine when the work is completed, the slide 2 carries a slide 34 which moves clear of a catch 33 on a lever 31, which is pulled down by a weight and operates a link 30 and clutch lever 29.

Abstract: 21,972. Baxter, J., ,and Clarkson, W. Jan. 9, 1909. Buoys. - In buoys for communicating with sunken submarines by means of a pipe which leads to a winch on the vessel, a siphon pipe with floatcontrolled valve for admitting air to the buoy is provided. In one form, the buoy is also used as a means of escape for the crew. As shown in Fig. 3, the buoy is of double-coned shape and is provided with a float-controlled valve in a siphon tube A' for controlling the ingress of air to the buoy. Air passes from the buoy by means of a flexible tube a<2> to a duct b<1> and pipe c on a winch C on the submarine. A second duct b<2>, Fig. 4, may be provided so that fresh air passes to the vessel by one duct and vitiated air escapes by the other.

Granted: 1909-10-07
Abstract: 22,228. Garside, E. Oct. 20. Motor controllers.-The arm d, Fig. 1, of a motorstarter carries main circuit contacts k, and in being thrown to the on' position causes a toggle c to slide a cross-head b to the top of a stationary rod a<1>. The cross-head has an extension i which engages one end of a buffer spring h, Fig. 2, the other end of which contacts with a slider g also sliding on the rod a<1>. The slider carries a brush which bridges resistance contacts f in the motor circuit. When the switch arm is thrown on,' the cross-head and its extension are raised, compressing the spring h and causing the slider g to cut out resistance. A dash-pot, consisting of a cylinder g<1> attached to the slider and a piston g<2> attached to the rod i, retards the switching-on action, and a resetting-spring returns the slider quickly to the full resistance position after the main arm d has been released by the no-volt magnet l.
