Patent GB-189824188-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Drying Apparatus for Bricks and the like.
Inventor: VILLARET MAX
Filed: 1898-11-16
Granted: 1899-11-11
Abstract: 24,188. Villaret, M., and Wahlen, J. B. Nov. 16. Bricks, drying &c. Relates to means for transferring bricks &c. from the drying-room to the kiln. Fig. 1 shows one form of truck carrying a number of parallel arms or shelves a<2> pivoted to parallel bars b<2>, d<2> in such a manner that the shelves are tilted when the frame c is turned into a horizontal position on an axle f for the purpose of running the load into the kiln. A tilting lever g, pivoted on the axle f, is connected by links m<1> to arms n<1>, and is retained in place during the loading operation by hooks i<1> engaging with pins k. A pivoted catch engages with a cross-piece s of the bars b<2>, and is released by pressing the tail end by the foot when it is required to turn the load of bricks from a vertical to a horizontal position. A cross-bar serves as a handle, and stop bars o<1>, x<1> come in contact with the lever g and frame z<1> when the frame is swivelled. The shelves may be automatically tilted when the frame c is turned down by pins q<1> which are fixed to the bars d<2>, and move in fixed forks or slotted bars p<1>. Instead of pivoting the shelves to the bars b<2>, pins may project from the bars over the shelves so that the latter can be moved independently during the loading operation. Each shelf, as it about to he loaded, is tilted until it comes in contact with the pins of the bars b<2>, thus increasing the space between it and the next shelf. The tilting-lever in this arragement engages with a ratchet segment fixed to the frame c, and is connected to the bars b<2> by links. In another arrangement, the shelf arms are cranked or bent at their rear ends, and are tilted in turn, as they are loaded with bricks, by means of pins which project from sliding bars, and come in contact with the cranks. In order to facilitate the loading of the upper shelves, the frame is inclined, and the truck is run on to a pivoted platform or floor which tilts when the shelves are loaded to a certain height. The free end of the platform is counterbalanced by a tank containing sand, and is also fitted with a series of telescopic weights so that the platform is tilted with a step-by-step motion as the car is loaded. A lever catch prevents the car running down the platform when the latter is tilted. In a modification, the platform is arranged to slide in inclined guides, and is operated by a lever, toothed segment, pinions, and an inclined rack which is fixed under the platform and slides in the guides.

Title: Improved Means for Manufacturing Metallic Ribbon, especially applicable for Battery Electrodes.
Filed: 1898-12-20
Granted: 1899-01-28
Abstract: 26,886. Porous Accumulator Co. and Howell, J. C. Dec. 20. Lathes; rods and bars.-Relates to the method described in Specification No. 30,427, A.D. 1897, for producing metal ribbons particularly adapted for making the plates of primary and secondary batteries, the ribbons being made by helically cutting a tube while it is revolving on a mandrel. This invention consists in the use of a lathe similar in action to a screw-cutting lathe for producing these helical ribbons. Fig. 1 shows a side elevation, and Fig. 2 a plan, of the apparatus. The tube 40, from which the helical ribbon is cut by the tool 39, is held in a chuck 22 fixed on a mandrel 2 which is caused to rotate by driving the cone-grooved pulley 3. An extension of the mandrel 2 drives the leading screw 12 through suitable worm and bevel gearing put into operation by a clutch 9. The screw 12 has right and left handed screws cut upon it, one of which serves to traverse the slide-rest 13 carrying the tool 39 and the other serves to traverse in the opposite direction a headstock 15 carrying a mandrel 16 which is rotated from the mandrel 2 by gearing 17, 18, 19, 20 and a back shaft 21. On the mandrel 16 is fixed a chuck 21 which carries a steel spindle on which the helical ribbon is wound as it is cut off and this ribbon is caused to bind on the spindle by jamming the chuck 24 for a short time against the end of the tube 40 by means of motion imparted to the headstock 15 by a handle. The shaft 21 is connected by a pulley 27 to a pulley 28 running loosely on the screw 12 but adapted to be connected with it by a clutch 29, and the two clutches 9, 29 are connected respectively by links 31, 32 with a rod 30 which is operated by the handle 35 or by the slide-rest 13 coming against stops 33, 34. The rod 30 moves so that only one of the clutches is in engagement at a time, whereby the screw 12 is alternately driven in opposite directions to move the slide-rest and headstock apart from or towards each other. By varying the speeds of the two mandrels the ribbon produced may be bent upon itself so as to become radially crinkled.
