Abstract: 28,031. Mari, E. Dec. 23. Edge - runners and pans.- Apparatus for manufacturing brick-dust or mortar consists of two runners 40, 41, Figs. I and II, working in a trough 12 above a cylindrical part 6 carried by supports 5 secured to a baseplate. The runners are carried by cranks 31, 32 from a piece 24 mounted on a vertical shaft 9, which is supported in a step bearing 21 and driven by gearing 22, 33 from the driving- shaft 34. The bottom of the trough 12 is provided with openings 14, which are closed by perforated plates 18 when the machine is used for making brick-dust. The opening 17 in the bottom of the trough is also closed, and curved arms 23 carried by the shaft 9 and working in the part 6 discharge the brick-dust through an opening 10 into a shoot 11. An arm 25 at one end of the piece 24 carries a curved plate 37, the lower end of which is prolonged by an arm 38 to remove brick-dust adhering to the bottom 16 of the pan, and an arm 28 at the other end carries a curved blade 39 which directs the material beneath the runners. When making mortar, the plates 18 are replaced by solid plates. When the material is sufficiently mixed, the slide 44 is removed from the opening 17 and the mortar discharged. A loose wheel carried by a cross-bar between the supports 5 bears on the circular part 47 of the disk 22.

Abstract: 7524. La Hault, A. de, and Miesse, J. March 30, 1908, [Convention date]. Link - work. --- The arm B of the wing of a flying- ruachine is formed with a socket C mounted on a rod M, and the spherical end E of the arm engages in a cup F at the end of a lever G pivoted at H to a fixed shaft I. The rod M is carried by arms K secured to a pulley N, which is rotated on the shaft I. During the first quarter of the rotation of the fork K, the wing stem moves in a curved path from its highest position, Fig. 1, to its lowest position, Fig. 2, and, in the second quarter of the rotation, the wing moves back to its original position, but with the wing reversed. Thus, in each halfrotation of the fork K, the wing describes a closed curve of oval shape and makes a halfrotation about its own axis.

Granted: 1910-04-28
Abstract: 10,060. Mitchell, L. A., and Wood, B. G. April 28. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Contents, delivering..-A device for ejecting matches singly, and a so for igniting them on ejection, comprises a match receptacle A sliding vertically with respect to a standard B, the side of the receptacle nearest to the standard consisting of a swinging plate C pivotally mounted at the end of a lever arm d. As the receptacle A is raised, a projection on it catches under and causes, the rising of a clip E on the standard B, and when the receptacle is in the highest position, a match is permitted to pass on to the upper edge of the standard B. On the descent of the match receptacle, the clip E is caused to press upon the ejected match so that the head of the latter bears against a striking-surface carried by the receptacle and situated on the opposite side of the standard to the clip ; the ignition of the match is thus effected. The rocking of the plate C agitates and alines the matches.

Abstract: 28,818. Batt, H. Dec. 9. [Cognate Application, 3417/10.] Magnetos, driving.-A device for driving an ignition magneto, whereby the magneto may be manually operated for starting, consists of two relatively displaceable driving and driven disks connected by a spring under the action of which the armature may be suddenly rotated. The driven disk b is keyed to the magneto shaft a and connected by a tension spring e to the driving-disk c, part of which is shown in section in Fig. 2, and which is loose on the shaft a. The disk b is driven by pins d<1> fixed on the disk c and projecting into slots d in the disk b.

Inventor: BAWTREE WALTER
IPC: B65C3/12
Filed: 1910-02-16
Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 3795. Bawtree, W., and Winter, J. H. Feb. 16. Labelling.-Relates to the general construction of machines for labelling tin canisters &c., of the type in which the tin is rotated between rollers in order to apply the label. The labels are fed by hand between creasing-rollers 41, 42, Fig. 1, from which they pass to a pasting- roller 39, where they are seized by pins 50 in a feeding-segment 28. The label is carried round to meet a canister which is clamped between disks 61, the rear end of the label being seized meanwhile by pins 54 in the segment 28. The pasting-roller 39 and segment 28 are geared together, the segment being rotated by belt gearing from the main driving-shaft 15. The pins 50, 54 have bearings in an inner segment 51, and are normally caused to project beyond the segment 28 by springs. The pins 50 are released from the label by contact with the canister, and the pins 54 are released by levers 58 contacting with a fixed stud 59. The canister to be labelled is supported between a roller 9, adjustably fixed to the frame 11, and rollers 12 carried by arms 13 pivoted on a shaft 14. The rollers 12 are pressed against the canister by a spring, and are disengaged therefrom by a stud 73 projecting from the segment 28 striking the upper end of one of the arms 13. A spur-wheel 24, mounted on the arms 13 and rotated by belt gearing from a pulley on the shaft 14, transmits rotation to the rollers 12 and to the canister. The canisters 1 are placed in a shoot 2, and are released in turn by an escapement 3, 6, 7 actuated by a link 75 connected to the arms 13. The disks 61, between which the canisters are clamped, are carried by spindles 62, Fig. 5, rotatable in studs 63 which are slidable in supports 10, and are pressed inwardly by springs 67. In order to release the canister from the disks 61 as the rollers 12 recede from it, segments 70 are rocked about a shaft 71 by a link 72, Fig. 1, connected to the arms 13, and cams 69, Fig. 5, on the segments rock levers 65 engaging with collars 64 on the studs 63.

Abstract: 6904. Henderson, J. B. Oct. 19. Optical, pointers.-In means for optically measuring longitudinal, torsional, and bending strains in rotating or other shafts &c., by the aid of two or more reflecting-surfaces relatively rotated by the strain, a collimator g, Fig. 2, is employed to secure a beam of parallel light, which after reflexion at the mirrors d, f, is brought to a focus on the scale h by a lens k. Such an arrangement allows the mirrors to be placed either parallel to one another or inclined at any suitable angle. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, for indicating torsion in a short rotating shaft, the mirrors are given a magnified rotation in opposite senses by means of crankpins m attached to the mirrors and a projection on the sleeve b. A prism n may be employed, as shown in Fig. 5, in which case one lens only will suffice.

Abstract: 15,907. Stercq, R. July 2. Movable - abutment type of the kind in which one of two series of pistons is fixed in the annular casing, while the other series rotates, and at a later phase in a rotation the first series rotates, while the second series is fixed. Each series of pistons is locked alternately to the fixed axle and the rotary casing by the same locking devices. Alternatively, the casing may be fixed, while the axle rotates, or the casing and axle may both rotate but in opposite directions. Two annular chambers are formed by means of a casing 1, Fig. 3, mounted on a hollow fixed axle 6, through which the explosive mixture is admitted by ports 42 into the chambers. The chambers are provided with rings 2, 3, 4, 5, each carrying four pistons, and the rings and pistons are alternately fixed to the casing and the axle by a series of four sliding bolts for each ring, as shown in the development of the casing in Fig. 4. The bolts 21, 22 ... 35, 36 slide axially into engagement with stops or recesses in the casing or the axle according to the position of the corresponding rings and attached pistons. Each annular chamber has two inlet ports 42, Fig. 1, two ignition plugs 44, and two exhaust ports 43, the cycle of operations being admission, compression, ignition, and exhaust in the usual way. Fig. 5 shows a view of a sliding bolt. The ports are arranged so that the cycle of operations is oneeighth of a revolution later in one chamber than in the other, to avoid a dead-point during the sliding of the bolts, and an explosion occurs in one chamber, when the suction stroke has already begun in the other chamber, to avoid overheating. The rings may be enlarged to form the annular chambers themselves; the present casing then acts merely as a fly-wheel, the various ports and ignition plugs being carried by the axle. Any number of chambers and of pistons may be used, and the engine may be used as a two-stroke engine employing compressed air, steam, &c.
