Patent GB-190227478-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Sand Moulding Machines.
Inventor: LOTZ ALFRED
Filed: 1902-12-12
Granted: 1903-04-30
Abstract: 27,478. Lotz, A. Dec. 12. Moulding.-A moulding-machine is constructed to ram the sand by jarring the table and flask a predetermined number of times, so that the sand may always be rammed to the same compactness and thus produce castings of exactly the same size from one pattern, as in casting mandrel balls for tube-drawing, wagon axle-boxes, &c. The machine is also provided with a stripping-head. The table 8 is vertically reciprocated on a fixed jarring-post 6 by cams 5 on a shaft 4 engaging rollers 10 on the underside of the table. The stripping-head 21 is carried by rods 18 having a pin-and-slot connection with supports 14 carried by a crosshead 12 and adjustable to and from the post 6 on which the crosshead slides. The mould is stripped by depressing a treadle 30, the arms 29 of which are pivoted on links 27, pivoted on the base 1, the opposite ends of the treadle arms being pivoted to links 25, pivoted to the crosshead and to swinging links 24, pivoted at 23 on the base. The shaft 4 is driven by a pulley 53 which can be moved into engagement with a clutch member 51 by operating a lever 55, the clutch being locked in engagement during ramming by a latch 62 engaging a notch 59 in a bar 56 connected to the lever 55. The clutch is engaged by hand and automatically disengaged after a certain number of revolutions, to ensure uniform jarring or ramming of the sand in producing a number of moulds from the same pattern. The revolutions of the shaft 4 are registered by a ratchet-wheel 40 with an operating-pawl 43 and check pawl 41, the wheel and check pawl being mounted in a bracket 38 on the machine framing. The operating-pawl is pivoted on a bell-crank lever 36 connected by a link 35 to a lever 33 held in contact with one of the cams by a spring 35<1>. The bracket has a row of holes 48 concentric with the ratchet - wheel and corresponding in number to the wheel teeth. When the shaft 4 has made the desired number of revolutions, a cam 50 on the boss of the ratchet-wheel disengages the latch 62 from the bar 56, allowing the clutch to be thrown out by a spring 59'. The disengaging of the clutch rocks a forked lever 64, pivoted at 53, the fork ends 65, 66 raising the pawls 43, 41 out of engagement with the ratchet-wheel, allowing it to be returned by a weighted cord 46 till arrested by the engagement of the cam 50 with a stop placed in one of the holes 48. The number of revolutions made by the shaft is varied by changing the position of the stop. A. vertically-movable rack may be used in place of the ratchet-wheel.

Inventor: MARTIN PATRICK ALPHONSUS
Filed: 1903-02-07
Granted: 1903-12-17
Abstract: 2899. Martin, P. A., and Martin, D. A. Feb. 7. Tyres, pneumatic etc.; wheels with two tyres side by side. -Elastic tyres for the wheels of cycles, motor cars, and other vehicles are formed of layers of stretched india-rubber or other elastic material. An elastic sleeve c, Figs. 2, 4, and 5, is stretched on to a mandrel a of about the same diameter as the wheel rim d, and one end is held by a beading c<2> while the other end is rolled along the sleeve to form a coil c<3>. A slider b is then inserted under the coil, and, after the coil and slider have been drawn back slightly to stretch the part c' between the coil and the beading c<2>, the beading is rolled along the stretched part to form a coil c<5>, which is finally rolled off on to the wheel rim d. The end part of the sleeve may form a cover with attaching-edges, or a separate cover may be employed. Two tyres, placed side by side, may be constructed by rolling the sleeve simultaneously from both ends. A number of tyres may be enclosed in one cover. In a modification, the sleeve is stretched longitudinally by manipulating it on a mandrel formed of three telescoping parts. The sleeve may be formed either by spinning, weaving, or plaiting india-rubber strips or threads, or from elastic webbing or similar fabric. The beading c', which forms the core, may be either solid or hollow, and may be either permanently inflated or filled with cork. In the form shown in Fig. 17, the tyre is formed of superimposed elastic rings j stretched on to a core e, and secured together by studs and holes.

Abstract: 5373. Spubr, M., Burkhardt, P., and Pfeiffer, T. March 7. Sawing.-Relates to a portable or stationary power saw f or use in slaughterhouses, butchers' shops, &c. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation, partly in section, and Fig. 2 a vertical section, of a saw arranged to be driven by an electric motor. The saw blade 12 is fixed between two arms 10, 11 secured to the upper part 9 of the saw frame, and receives motion through a crank 33 and connecting-rod 6 from a shaft carrying a worm-wheel 32 actuated by a worm 31. The saw-holder 10 slides on a guide 36 secured to the casing 1 and provided with a longitudinal slot to receive the upper edge of the saw blade. The worm 31 is driven by a flexible shaft 17 enclosed within a stationary metal tube 38, to which is secured a twin cable 39, through which, and a switch 40 in the casing 1, the motor circuit is completed. A handle 16 is placed at each side of the casing, and the switch 40 is actuated by a lever 41 pivoted to the casing. The switch has terminals c, d, Fig. 7, and the lever 41 actuates a contact-pin e and forces it into both terminals, the circuit being broken by a spring i surrounding the pin e, when the pressure is taken off the lever 41 ; the conducting-wires k, are surrounded by insulating-material g and enclosed in a brass tube h. Bevel-wheels may be used instead of the worm 31 and wheel 32. The saw and its driving-gear may be lifted by means of the handles 16 and taken to the carcase to be sawn ; or the apparatus may be stationary and the carcase brought under the saw. A handle may be attached to the crank shaft, and the saw driven by hand.

They fit radially round the main portion, being held in sockets d formed by an elastic band or by the insertion of spacing- pieces. For displaying long articles such as hatpins, the back-plate is made much larger than the front plate, and the backs of the cushions are correspondingly elongated to form a set-off or background for the pin. In another modification, rectangular cushions fit into corresponding recesses in the front plate, a leg being hinged to the backplate to support the pad, after the manner of a photograph frame.

Abstract: 1865. Christen, F. Jan. 25. Measured quantities, delivering.-The principle of Mariotte's bottle is applied in the delivery of liquids, such as soap-suds, scents, and essences or beverages, to ensure a certain interval between each delivery. A measuring valve or cock, which may be controlled by a coin-freed mechanism, is added to regulate the amount delivered. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1, the liquid is contained in a box a with an air pipe cand a sieve d through which it passes to the dropping tube f. The gauge-box m, being in its normal position as shown, is filled with liquid in a time depending on the length of the air tube c and the size of the tube f, while air escapes by the pipe h. On pushing the button l, the liquid passes out through the opening v, and air enters through j. In the modification shown in Fig. 5 a measuring-cock p is normally closed, as shown, by the spring r.

Title: Improved Means for Feeding Coal or other Material to Elevators and Conveyors.
Inventor: GIBBONS WILLIAM PIKE
Filed: 1905-03-01
Granted: 1906-01-18
Abstract: 4265. Gibbons, W. P., and Reed, E. A. March 1. Conveyers; elevators.- Consists in automatically feeding bucket elevators and conveyers from a hopper or shoot. Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to an elevator. The end of the spout 2 is made somewhat lower at the back than at the front, and is provided with a swinging-sleeve 47. This sleeve receives a reciprocating motion from the elevator, of such frequency as to complete a to-and-fro motion in the same time as it takes a bucket to arrive in the charging position. The sleeve has at its lower end two flat or curved plates 9, 10 adapted to open and close alternately the shoot 2, and so disposed that when the upper plate 10 is in the open position the lower plate 9 prevents free passage of the coal or other material in the hopper, while, when the upper plate is closing the shoot, the lower plate is discharged by the action of the extension 4. When feeding a gravity bucket conveyer, the arrangement is somewhat similar, but the hopper communicates with the shoot 2 by a worm conveyer also receiving motion from the bucket conveyer. The connecting-rod 17 may have a spring so arranged as to allow of its expansion should the reciprocating plate jam.
