Inventor: BARTON BERNARD CYRIL
IPC: B30B9/20
Filed: 1916-05-03
Abstract: 108,329. Barton, B. C. May 3, 1916. Fatty oils, extracting by pressure. - An extrusion press, Fig 1, for expressing oil consists of a stationary drum formed of upper and lower plates A, A<1>, having piles of plates B between them so arranged as to form radial passages C, shown in plan in Fig. 2, the inner end of each pile being formed as a tooth a<1>, together with a rotating box formed of upper and lower plates D, D', and containing loose toothed wheels F<1>, the teeth of which mesh with the teeth a<1> and compress the material into the radial passages C. The material is fed to the box by a hopper d, d' fitted with a separately-actuated screw H<1>. Blocks G guide the material to the points at which pressure is applied. A rotating table M fitted with knives M' receive the extruded material; a stationary device P removes the material from the table. The passages C may be constricted at their outer ends by means of blocks b<2> which are fitted to the plates B. Loose side pieces b<3>, b<4> secured by screws may also be used. The compressed material may be given any desired form by suitably shaping the parts b<2>, b<3>, b<4>. Drainage holes b with inclined sides b<1>, Fig. 2, are provided to lead expressed liquids to a trough K below the plate A<1>. The wheels F and blocks G may be similarly constructed for drainage purposes. A steam chamber L is provided for heating purposes. Steam may be blown through the holes b to clear them.

Title: Improvements in or relating to plate cylinders for printing presses
IPC: B41F27/10
Filed: 1943-04-20
Abstract: 565,075. Printing-plate clamps. GOSS PRINTING PRESS CO., Ltd. April 20, 1943, No. 6331. Convention date, April 25, 1942. [Class 100 (ii)] A plate cylinder for printing-presses comprises a fixed centre ring, a number of intermediate clamps arranged in pairs and engaging the edges of adjacent plates, a single end clamp associated with each pair of intermediate clamps, springs urging the intermediate clamps away from each other into engagement with the adjacent plates, springs independently forcing the end clamps toward the centre ring, means for adjusting the clamps to suit differently sized plates and means for simultaneously releasing all of the clamps. As shown, an inner plate 12 engages the usual central margin ring on the cylinder, and its outer edge and the inner edge of an outer plate 14 are engaged by clamps 42, 43 urged apart by a spring 47. The outer clamps 55 are carried by screwed rods 30 urged inwardly by springs 33 arranged between collars 32 on the rods and a member 28 common to a number of clamps. The rods 30 are provided with internal threads of half the pitch of the external threads and engaging a rod 46 passing through the clamps 42, 43 and provided with an end stop nut 45. Upon withdrawing the member 28, it engages nuts 67 on the ends of the rods 30 to withdraw the clamps 55, 42, 43 and allow the spring 47 to separate the clamps 42, 43 sufficiently to allow removal or insertion of plates 12, 14. When the member 28 is moved, inwardly, the clamps 55 are engaged with the plate 14 which is thus moved inwardly to engage the clamp 42 and press this clamp into engagement with clamp 43 and thus to clamp the plate 12 against the centre ring. The springs 33 are then further compressed by movement of the member 28. Any clamps 42, 43 which, due to irregularities in the edges of the plate, are not forcibly moved into contact with each other, still clamp the plate firmly by the action of the springs 47. By turning the screws 30, the initial relative positions of the clamps can be adjusted to suit plates of different width, a member 51 slidably engaging the clamp groove in the cylinder serving to prevent rotation of the rod 46. Blocks 61-64 and 66, mounted to slide in the clamp grooves, support the intermediate parts of the plates. Specification 262,381, [Class 100 (ii)], is referred to.

Abstract: 890,874. Photo-electric exposure control. KODAK Ltd. Feb. 24, 1960 [Feb. 26, 1959], No. 6515/60. Class 40(3). The expansion of a resistance device when current flows in a photo-electric circuit adjusts a camera diaphragm or shutter speed ring. Current from a battery 52 flows through a photoconductive cell 28 to a conducting block 32. The length of a resistance wire 40 linking the block and a lever 58 varies due to thermal expansion with the current flowing and controls through lever 58 and a pin 66 the position of a diaphragm vane 14. Initial adjustment is effected by means of a setting screw 36. Battery 32 and cell 28 may be replaced by a photovoltaic cell and pin 66 may be on a conventional shutter speed ring, Fig. 2 (not shown).

Abstract: 512,522. Brakes. MARTINDALE, A. F. March 8, 1938, No. 7212. [Class 103 (i)] To equalize the clearance at the ends of a brake shoe which carries the friction surface and is pivoted to a main shoe which is moved towards the brake drum to apply the brake, a member coaxially mounted with the pivot pin between the brake shoe and the. main shoe and in frictional engagement with one of them is adapted to move the brake shoe about the pivot as the shoes are moved to the off position. The brake shown comprises pairs of brake shoes D, D<1>, D<2>, D<3> mounted respectively on a pair of main shoes B, B' pivoted at B<3>, B<4> and operated by an expander B<5>. The shoes have interengaging steps D <4>, D The pivot E between each brake shoe D<1>, and its main shoe B<1> passes through a bush E<2> on the main shoe and a bush E<4> secured to the brake shoe D<2>. An arm F<1> is frictionally pivoted on the bush E<4> and thus on the brake shoe by disposing its end between a spring washer F and a washer F<2>. The slotted end of the arm F<1> engages a pin G<1> which in the case of the shoes D, D <2> is mounted directly on the back plate B<2> and passes with clearance through the main shoe, and in the case of the shoes D<1>, D<3> is carried by a plate H<1>. When the shoes are withdrawn after an application, the arm F<1> and with it the brake shoe, is turned, by engagement with the pin G<1> relatively to the main shoe in the direction to increase the clearance at the end of the brake shoe which is nearer the end of the main shoe. Compensation for wear of the friction linings is effected by the friction device. According to Fig. 4, a lever J<1> frictionally pivoted at E on the main shoe B carries a spring K<1> which normally urges one end of the brake shoe D against a screw stop K on the lever. When the brake is applied the shoe D turns on the pivot against the action of the spring. Relative movement between the shoes is limited by an abutment K<3> and thus the sboe D adjusts its position on the main shoe to compensate for wear. The lever J<1> may instead frictionally engage the shoe D and the spring and stop K bear on the shoe B. According to the Provisional Specification, the device may be provided in the brake described in Specification 353,206.
