Title: Improvements in Molding Presses.
Inventor: FISHER WILLIS HERMAN
Filed: 1906-03-22
Granted: 1906-11-29
Abstract: 6902. Fisher, W. H. March 22. Moulding artificial-stone blocks &c.-The mould box is run in grooves 6 into position on the platen 4 of the hydraulic press 2 and is then raised and supported on a projecting part 7 of the platen, so that the material in it is pressed against the head 21, which is supported from the I-beam frame 19 by levers 23 which are pivoted to extensions 22 of the head and engage with flanges 24 of the beams. As the platen rises, the wheels of the truck carrying the mould-box drop into holes 10, which are filled by supports 11 when the platen is in its lowest position. A frame 25 holds the mould-box tight during compression to prevent distortion of its side. The frame consists of side plates 26, to which are attached trusses 27 strengthened and held by braces 45, and of end gates 39. Main beams 14 pass through slots in the trusses 27 and through V-yokes 29 tixed to them. Loops held in position by plates 32 pass round the beams 14 and are pivotally attached to screwed rods 31 surrounded by springs, which normally tend to pull the sides 26 outwards and allow adjustability. The pivoted gates 39 consist of bars 41, 42 carrying adjustable latch-blocks 46 having apertures 46<a> through which latches 47 with cam-faces 47<a> can pass when the frame is closed. The ends 51 of a two-part lever 50 then engage the latches to hold the frame tight. Heavy toothed levers 67, pivoted at 66, bear against the levers 50 which engage the lowest teeth after the frame is closed and before the platen-with the frame supported from the platen by rods 37-starts rising. As the platen and frame rise, the lever slips up over the teeth 67, but, when the pressure is removed and they descend, the teeth engage the levers and turn them so that the latches are released. The weight of the bars 67 pressing against the levers 50, which are pivoted to the latch blocks 46 on the gates, swings the gates partly open, after which they are swung right opeu by means of springs 60 carried by tension rods 61 pivoted behind the pivots of the gates. Any suitable moulds can be used with the press, e.g. moulds, with cores, partition plates, &c., such as are described in Specification No. 6902A, A.D. 1906.

Abstract: 27,818. Jones, T. L., and Phillips, G. Dec. 6. Spring motors.-Coin-freed spring-driven pianos are provided with an electric device whereby they can be immediately stopped or re-started from any convenient position by the person in charge. To stop the piano, the circuit of an electro-magnet F is closed by means of a suitable switch, the electro-magnet drawing down the spring-controlled lever H, which carries the armature, and raising a shoulder on the other arm of the lever from engagement with a second lever M, which forms the armature of a second electro-magnet G.

Abstract: 4193. Lyon, H. Feb. 25. Switches.-In a motor controller with liquid resistances, the plates are lowered by means of a worm which is normally out of gear, and a weight is arranged to raise the plates when they are free. A controller suitable for three-phase working has three tanks B beneath three plates A upon a shaft A'. The plates are connected by a metal bar A', and carry contacts H which touch fixed contacts H<1> to short-circuit the liquid in the final ' on ' position of the switch. A shaft C is provided with a handle C' and worm B<2>, and can turn in a bearing at the end of a pivoted lever C<2>. A spring D is secured to the other end of this lever, and holds the worm B<2> away from the worm-wheel B<1>. The handle D<3>, when lowered, depresses a stirrup against the action of springs D', and so throws the worm into gear. The plates can then be lowered by turning the handle C', and they are held in the ' on' position by the engagement of a projection E<1> on the arm E' with a detent E<3>. A no-volt coil L<1> is connected across two phases in the stator circuit, and is arranged to trip the detent E<3> so as to allow the weight G to move the plates to the ' off' position. An overload coil M, arranged to short-circuit the coil L', is connected in series with one phase. A link K<1> is secured to the arms of the stator switch J, and engages a ratchet-wheel on the shaft A<2> when the switch is open. This pre vents the plate A from being, moved unless the switch J is closed.
