Patent GB-191218522-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Staple Making and Driving Mechanism.
Inventor: COUPAL ARTHUR EUGENE
IPC: B21F45/24
Filed: 1912-08-12
Granted: 1913-08-12
Abstract: 18,522. Coupal, A. E. Aug. 12. Stapling.-A stapling-machine comprises means for cutting and bending wire to make a staple, the extremities of the legs of which bend in clinching towards one another and to the same side of a plane passing longitudinally through the body of the staple. The wire is fed through a guide 18 over a fixed cutter 15 having an inclined face 16 and a shoulder 24 forming cutting-edges beneath the wire. A moving cutter 19 carried by a, lever 20 has a corresponding inclined face 21, the cutting-edge 26, which is concave and slopes upwards from the edge adjacent to the shoulder 24 and also carrries a shoulder 22. In cutting the wire, the moving cutter, owing to its concave edge, bends down the end 28, the staple blank being formed, and, owing to the yielding of the material, the shoulder 22 bevels the upper edge of the extremity of the wire remaining to form the end 30 of the next blank. A point-bender 33 carried by a rocking lever 34 bends the point 30 into the plane of the front edge of the wire and into alinement with one other point, as in Fig. 10. The bender 33 operates between the fixed cutter and a stripper 35, which prevents the wire from rising while the guide 18 prevents the wire from moving forwards. A staple former and carrier 36 has a wire clamp 45 pivoted to it with a notch 47 to receive the wire. The wire having been fed the required distance, the carrier and clamp move rearwards to engage the wire, and after the severing of a blank, they move forward and carry the blank to a point beneath a throat 51 in a throat-slide reciprocating vertically in a forwardly and rearwardly slidable head 53. A driver 60 is arranged in the throat 51. The throat 51, descending upon the blank in the former and carrier 36, bends it into the form of a staple, which is then held by frictional contact in the throat. The former and carrier recede to re-engage the wire, and the throat carries the staple over the work, whereupon the driver is operated and the staple driven and clinched. The completed staple has a curved face 28 on the leg 31, and a bevelled end 30 on the leg 32, which act to cause the points to move inwards on contact with the work support 67, and the leg 32 having been bent to bring the point 30 into the plane of the point on the leg 31 and one side of the rectangular staple wire, both points bend upwards on the same side of the staple, effecting a clinch as shown in Figs. 16 and 18. The two ends of the staple blank are bent by the cutter 19 and the bender 33 respectively, in directions substantially at right-angles to one another.

Title: Improvements in Methods of Making Corrugated Tubes or the like.
Inventor: LOUIS HERMAN BRINKMAN
IPC: B21C37/12
Filed: 1913-01-21
Abstract: 1714. Brinkman, L. H. Feb. 3, 1912, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Corrugating; bending-dies.-In a process of making helically corrugated metal tubes of any length and of great flexibility and radiating surface for couplings, radiators, &c., the tube is twisted and simultaneously acted upon along a helical line to cause the metal to fold along this line so that a deep corrugation may he obtained without stretching the metal. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 5, the tube 8 and mandrel 9 are clamped to a shaft 4 rotated by belt gear and the dies 15, by friction against which the tube is twisted, are carried in a slide 11 traversed by a screw 12 and change-speed gear from the shaft 4. The dies are provided with helical grooves which deepen and decrease in pitch towards the end 35 so that a groove is initiated by the projections 36, 30 of such pitch and depth as to mark out along the tube a sufficient length of metal to form a finished corrugation of desired depth and pitch. The distance between the points 36, 37 is equal to the length of the curved outline between points 38, 39. The mandrel may be of such a size that the bottom of the corrugation comes in contact therewith on leaving the last convolution of the dies or soon after leaving the dies, so as to prevent distortion of the tube and to localize the twisting force to the neighbourhood of the dies and to prevent crowding together nf the corrugations after formation. By in creasing the twisting force the pitch of the corrugations may be decreased after they have come into contact with the mandrel.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Fluid Compressors or Pumps.
Inventor: RICHARDS GEORGE MARK
IPC: F04B49/24
Filed: 1913-05-06
Granted: 1914-01-22
Abstract: 10,678. Richards, G. M. May 6. Regulating delivery by by-passes. - A load-controlling device for fluid compressors or pumps comprises a waste or unloading valve which is yieldingly held d open when the compressor is starting, closed by the direct pressure thereon of the fluid when the speed of the compressor reaches a certain value, and automatically opened again when the pressure of the fluid in the receiver reaches a certain upper limit. Fig. 1 shows the waste valve C in its open position, the fluid from the compressor entering at a and escaping at a<2>. As soon as the fluid passing the valve C attains a certain speed, the valve closes against the action of a spring c<6> and the fluid is delivered past a delivery valve B to the receiver. When the pressure in the receiver reaches the upper limit, the valve C is again opened by the admission of pressure fluid past a valve H to the right-hand side of a piston F on the valve spindle f<3>. The valve H is controlled by the arrangement shown in Fig. 2. The pressure fluid from the receiver is admitted through a pipe b<1> to a space between two pistons H, I, the former of which is hollow and provided with a small hole h<3> for equalizing the pressure above and below it. When the pressure is thus equalized, the valve H is held in its lower position by a spring h<4>, the pressure fluid being then prevented from entering the cylinder F<1>, which is open to the atmosphere through the annular space round the valve and a port h<5>. The piston I is held in its upper position against the pressure of the fluid by adjustable springs i, but as soon as the pressure in the receiver is sufficiently great, the piston I is forced downwards and causes a valve K to open, which disturbs the equilibrium of the valve H and allows it to rise. The pressure fluid is thus admitted to the cylinder F<1> and the waste-valve C operated. The automatic operation of the wastevalve may be prevented by means of a locking- bolt L. Concussion of the delivery valve B is prevented by a fixed bushing m<1> forming dashpot air-cylinders above and below working in co-operation with pistons m<5>, m<6> on the valve stem.
