Title: Improvements in Boring and Filling Machines for use in the Manufacture of Brushes.
Inventor: FALLER JOSEPH EDUARD
Filed: 1906-08-29
Granted: 1907-03-21
Abstract: 19,327. Faller, J. E., and Canis, F. O. Aug. 29. Machines for making. - Machines for effecting the simultaneous boring and filling of single - curved, double - curved, and straight brushes, are constructed so that (1) the adjustment of the bodies of the brushes corresponding to the changing direction of the bunches of bristles is effected by the bodies being moved in removable guides curved to the required shape, and (2) the entering of the tools to equal depths at all positions is ensured by the automatic stopping of the forward movement of the tools. The movements are effected, as usual, by cams 1, 2, of which one controls the longitudinal rows of the bristle bunches and the other fixes the proper distance between the rows. The block-holders 4 travel in curved removable guides 5 moved by a slide 6 directly operated by the cam 1 so that, with each forward movement, the slide 6 moves through a space equal to the distance between two bore holes. The other movement of the block holders at right-angles to the first movement is effected by a bearer 11, which transmits its motion through a rod 13 and catch 14 to a sliding piece 15 which can move in a guide 17 fixed to an angular support 16. The guide 18 of the slide 6 is secured to the piece 15 which follows the guide 17, which is curved according to the transverse curvature of the blocks. The blocks are advanced to the tools by a shaft 19, eccentric 20, and links 21 to 26 which reciprocate the guided rod 13. When the blocks are moved forward to the required amount, they strike against fixed adjustable stops 28 and are arrested, while the arm 24 influenced by the spring 33 completes the stroke, governed by the eccentric 20, at the same time compressing the spring 32. When the curves are of infinite radii the guides become straight.

Coke ovens.-In an horizontal regenerative coke oven, gas is supplied to the upper and lower end alternately of each flue as the draught is reversed, so that each flue has a continuous supply of gas and is not heated merely by combustion products. Each flue f may be supplied with gas from the main g<1> through a channel r' and nozzles s<1>, or from the main g through a channel r and nozzles s. In the ribs f<1> between the flues f are flues. i communicating with the upper ends of the flues f. The flues i serve to convey air for combustion, or combustion products, according to the direction of the draught, and may be formed one in each rib, Fig. 5, or one flue i to several flues f, Fig. 4. The flues f communicate with sole-channels a, and the flues i with sole-channels a<1>. The channels a communicate with one regenerator and the channels a<1> with the other, and are arranged so that two channels a alternate with two channels a<1>. The partition t may be omitted, thus forming single flues a or a' where the width of the chamber does not admit of two channels side by side. When gas is supplied from the main g, air enters through one regenerator and the soleflues a. Combustion products are withdrawn through flues i, sole-flues a<1>, and another regenerator. On reversal, gas is supplied from the main g<1>, and air enters through the regenerator and flues a', i, combustion products being withdrawn through the flues a. The movements of the reversing-valve and gas valves are preferably interdependent, so as to be actuated simultaneously.

Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 21,296. Brauer, C. Nov. 28, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Loading and unloading.-Glass bottles &c. are dropped from a cradle on the working bench on to a trolly, by which they are carried and automatically delivered to the annealing-furnace. In Fig. 1 a bottle is shown supported in a cradle formed by two pivoted weighted flaps l, which are prevented from opening by a pivoted support n. The trolly b, which is provided with a similar cradle p, runs on rails a and is driven in any suitable manner. When an empty trolly passes under a fixed cradle, the support n is moved to one side by the wheel s, allowing the flaps l to open and the bottle to drop. The weight of the bottle depresses the flaps p until they rest on the support j, and, in this position, the wheel s will not engage the supports n of any succeeding cradles. The bottles are carried round to the mouth t of the annealing-furnace, where the support j is moved by a fixed arm w, and the bottle drops into the pivoted shoot u and slides into the furnace. Two arms w may be provided at the furnace mouth, and the shoot u may be dispensed with. The cradles on the working benches and the trollies may be formed with one fixed and one pivoted flap.
Patent GB-190800994-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved Method of and Means for Arresting the Side-slipping of Road Vehicles.
Inventor: BARR CYRIL CHARLES
Filed: 1908-01-15
Granted: 1909-01-14
Abstract: 994. Barr, C. C. Jan. 15. Clutches.-To prevent side-slip in road vehicles, a slip-arresting road wheel 1 on a shaft 2 parallel to the direction of travel of the vehicle, is rotated by connexion with one or other of two oppositelydriven friction-clutch disks 4, 5, according to the direction of movement of an actuating road wheel 12 similar to the wheel 1 and similarly mounted. The occurrence of side-slip causes the wheel 12 and therefore its shaft 13 and bevel-wheels 14, 15 to turn. The wheel 15 carries a pinion 16, Fig. III, engaging a rack 17 on a rod 18 which moves the central member 11 of the clutch into contact with one or other of the disks 4, 5, the member 11 being free to slide but not turn on the shaft 2, and the members 4, 5 being mounted loosely on the shaft 2, and rotated in opposite directions from the motor shaft 3. To release the clutch when side-slipping has been checked, throwoff rods 19, 20 are used, sliding in bearings 21, 25. The rod 19 is jointed to a lever 23 pivoted at 24 to the frame. A wheel 27 with projections 26 is driven through bevel-gearing 28, 29 from the shaft 2 so that the projections 26 come against the ends of the rod 20 and lever 23 and throw the member 11 to its central position. Springs return the rods 19, 20 to their normal positions. As an alternative method of operating the clutch, the movement of the wheel 12 may be used to close a circuit through an electro-magnet, the movement of the armature of which actuates the clutch. The throwoff levers 19, 20 may be made to actuate the brake to check continued rotation of the wheel 1 due to its own momentum after releasing the clutch.
