Abstract: 18,438. Savy, E. L. A. Aug. 19, 1911, [Convention date]. Endless-chain machines; moulding confectionery. -Relates to a machine for moulding chocolate bars &c. with embedded nuts, fruits, &c. A series of moulds c is fed by a chain beneath a measuring- device similar to that described in Specification 18,424/12 for supplying nuts &c. and then pass beneath a hopper containing heated chocolate s. Spring-pressed scrapers p, t are provided at each side of the hopper ; the scraper p closes the tops of the moulds and prevents the displacement of the nuts &c. from one compartment to the next by the incoming stream of chocolate, and the scraper t smoothes off the tops of the moulds, being slightly inclined so as to remove excess of chocolate but not sufficiently to allow the nuts &c. to pass out of the moulds. The filled moulds then pass to a shaking table where the almonds are caused to mount to the surface of the chocolate.

Abstract: 24,726. Deitz, H. Oct. 29. Percussive drills.-In a rock drill having a ported outer casing with a drill-carrying member reciprocating therein and provided with a ported air-chamber in which a positively-driven piston reciprocates, the ports in the air-chamber are spaced apart approximately the width of the piston-head and register with the ports in the outer casing only at given points in the stroke. In the machine shown, the drill-holder 10 provided with an air-chamber 12 is reciprocated in the outer casing 5 by a piston 13 driven by means of a crank 15 and a yoke 18, the piston compressing the air in opposite ends of the air-chamber alternately. The air-chamber 12 has ports 19, 20, adpated to register with the atmosphere through annular chambers 21, 22 and ports 23, 24 in the outer casing; the drill is so fed forward that this communication is made when the bit strikes the rock. The yoke 18 is guided by a screw B engaging a groove therein, and the crank-shaft is carried by bushed bearings 60, 61, threaded into the casing 5, the bearing 60 being of sufficient diameter to allow ready removal of the crank-shaft. This crankshaft is driven through gearing K, L from a motor I carried by a bracket 48 fixed to the cradle 6 on which the drill slides, a steel bushing 54 and rubber sleeve 55 taking up the vibrations. The drill-holder 10 is provided with spiral grooves 31 engaging lugs on a ratchet-wheel 33 engaged by spring-pressed pawls 34 to impart rotation to the drill-holder on the forward stroke. The bit 40 is secured to the holder 10 by a wedge 39 engaged by a tapered sleeve 38 threaded on to the holder; during adjustment of the sleeve, the holder 10 is held against rotation by the engagement therewith of pins 44 pivoted to springs 45. The piston is provided with packing-rings held by plates 26, 27 and a further packing-ring 29 is provided around the piston-rod.

Granted: 1914-04-02
Abstract: 8115. Walter, L. H. April 7. Monogrammic and like signs. - Words, designs, and pictures are built up from fields of studs, made of an aluminium alloy such as " duralumin " containing copper but no tin or zinc, these studs becoming luminous when acting as anodes in a solution of sodium or potassium tungstate or molybdate. The studs may be covered only by a capillary film of electrolyte, held by the anode itself, by a transparent fabric such as thin tulle or crepe de Chine, or wire netting may be placed close to the studs. They may then be kept cool by a stream of electrolyte from a distributing-pipe 7, Fig. 1, which may support the fabric and is connected through a tank 2, a pump 6, and a long pipe 4 to a tank 3 below the studs. The studs, if of square section, may be separated by thin mica and consolidated by running molten insulating-material into the spaces; if round, they may be fitted in a perforated sheet of ebonite. They are re-ground when the luminosity falls off. Electric contact is made with the back ends of the studs required to produce a design ; parts of the design may be made more prominent by supplying them with current of higher pressure than the rest. A moving or changing design may be displayed by passing a stencilled insulating-sheet 11, Fig. 4, between the back ends of the studs 9 and a series of stationary contact-brushes 14. Telautographic messages may be rendered visible by allowing a contact-piece 18, Fig. 5, attached to the stylus of the receiver to move over the back ends of the studs.
