Patent GB-191129265-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Portable Vulcanizing Devices.
Inventor: ADAMSON CECIL FREDERICK
IPC: B29C35/00
Filed: 1911-12-29
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 29,265. Adamson, C. F. Dec. 29. Wickless burners; burners, applications of.- A vulcanizer, more particularly for use in repairing tyres, consists of a plate 1, the lower surface of which constitutes the vulcanizing- surface, formed on the upper side with a vessel containing inflammable liquid. The plate is clamped against the surface to be vulcanized, and the liquid is ignited. A series of metal posts 9 conduct the heat of the flame to the plate. As the temperature rises, the liquid in the vessel boils, and the flame rises from the surface of the liquid; the apparatus is so designed that, when the temperature of the vucanizing plate reaches the maximum desired for vulcanizing, the generation of vapour becomes so fast as to force the flame entirely to the top of the flange 2 and posts 9. The flame then becomes ineffective, and the temperature of the plate 1 falls until the flame again descends into the receptacle and becomes effective. In place of posts 9 a series of segmental ribs may be employed.

Abstract: 7577. Griffiths, W. March 25. Making and finishing paving-blocks.-A roadpaving block consists of irregular stone fragments united along the lines of contact by Portland cement in a mould to form a rigid framework and then immersed in a heated condition in molten pitch or the like sufficiently long for the molten pitch to penetrate into the interspaces between the fragments, these interspaces communicating with each other and with the outer faces of the block. The rigid framework is formed by mixing the stone fragments with dry cement powder and, as the fragments pass from the mixer to the mould, wetting the powder remaining in contact with them by a fine spray of water. After the material have set sufficiently to bear removal from the mould, the framework is immersed for some days in water to which has preferably been added sodium silicate.

A cushioning spring 2 is mounted in a screwed cap 3 which may be adjusted to vary the stroke of the tool. An air chamber may be used instead of the spring. The frame is prevented from rotating with the spindle a while permitting of angular adjustment thereon by a brake which may comprise a disk 12 of vulcanized fibre &c. pressed against the frame by a spring 11 which abuts against a screwed plug secured in a ring 8 on the frame. The ring may carry a handle 9<Î>. The end s of the lever may be offset so as to clear the projections and enable a longer link to be used. The part u may be operated directly against the air or spring pressure by the projections on the bevelwheel by the provision of a slot having a shoulder p<Î> as shown in Fig. 6. In a further modification, Fig. 7, the tool-carrying part n is raised directly against the air or spring pressure by the spindle a through a pin 17 engaging a helical shoulder 16, the part u being feathered to the frame.

Abstract: 10,390. Chaudoir, E. July 17. Lift doors, locking and unlocking and operating.-In devices for locking and operating the landing doors, means is provided whereby the landing doors can only be unlocked and opened by the co-operation of a member on the car door; the devices may be operated from the landing, or by opening the car door, which may also be provided with locking-devices. Fig. 1 shows a form in which the landing door is unlocked and opened by opening the car door. The landing doors are provided with pairs of plates or cams B, B<1> mounted on pins P, the plate B<1> being under the influence of springs E. The door is locked by a pivoted spring catch F provided with a tail X engaged by the plate B<1>. The car door is provided with a striker C which, when the car is opposite a landing, rests between the plates B, B'. On opening the car door, the striker moves the plate B<1> along the pins P, thus releasing the catch; continued movement opens the landing door. On closing the car door, the landing door is closed by the engagement of the striker C with the plate B, the catch F being then free to engage the rack G and lock the door. In a modification, the plate B is adapted to be moved by a hand-lever on the landing door and transmit its motion, when the striker C is between the plates, to the plate B<1>, which releases the catch F as before. The car door may be locked by a similar pivoted catch, the tail of which works between two stops and replaces the striker C. The car gate or landing gates may be provided with means for preventing the actuation of the lift unless the doors are closed; the form described consists of a cut-out switch. The devices may be employed with collapsible gates, such as of the Bostwick type, and may be interchanged, the striker C being on the landing doors and the plates B &c. on the car gate.
