Title: Improvements in Methods of and for Forming Trusses or Trussed Beams.
Inventor: DAVIS NATHAN HATFIELD
Filed: 1907-07-11
Granted: 1907-12-31
Abstract: 15,994. Davis, N. H. July 11. Forging; bending.-A truss or trussed beam is obtained by upsetting and bending one side K<2> of a slit bar and bending the other side K<3>. The initial and final shapes of the beam are shown in dotted and full lines in Fig. 14. The side K<2> of the beam is held in dies D, B, while the upsetting is effected by the dies E<14>, and the bending of the side K<3> by the hook H<1> and the hydraulic cylinder G. The die B, and if desired the die D also, is in two parts pivoted at the ends and normally kept in alinement by a cylinder F, by means of which the parts of the die are finally moved about their pivots to bend the side K<2> slightly. The cylinder C for actuating the cross-head C<12> carrying the die D, and the cylinders E, F, G, are double-acting, live fluid being.admitted at all times to the smaller pistons, or sides of the pistons, through pipes 1, 3, 4, 7, 14, 21. When the plug L<5> of the valve L is lifted, live fluid passes into the chamber L<9> and thence through pipes 17, 5, the latter being connected through a check valve M with the cylinder C. When the die D grips the work, the pressure in the pipe 17 rises and opens a valve 0, the fluid passing into the upsetting and the bending cylinders E, G. The cylinder F is controlled by a valve N almost identical with the valve L. The second plugs L<6> of the valves L, N connect the cylinders with the exhaust pipe 11. The check valve M, Fig. 11, contains a differential piston M<3>, the smaller end of which is always acted on by live fluid admitted through the pipes 7, 10. When live fluid is admitted through the pipe 5, it lifts a balanced spring- pressed valve M<7> and passes through the port M<11> to the cylinder C ; it also passes through the port M<4> and pushes back the piston M<3>. Should there be any back flow due to the giving-way of the die D during the upsetting operation, the valve M<7> closes ; but when the pipe 5 is connected with the exhaust, the piston M<3> moves to the left and keeps the valve M<7> off its seat. The valve 0, Fig. 9, has a spring-pressed plug 0<9>, and a piston 0<4> constantly pressed towards the valve by live fluid acting on its smaller end and admitted through a pipe 24. When the pressure in the pipe 17 and port 0<1> rises sufficiently, the piston 0<4> is forced back and the fluid passes through the ports O<8>, O<6> and the pipes 18, 20 to the cylinders E, G. When the port 0<1> is connected with the exhaust, the fluid simply lifts the valve O<9>.

Abstract: 377. Williamson, T. H. Jan. 7. Race games.-A roller A is mounted, as shown in Fig. 1, on standards B at one end of a framework, which consists of longitudinal side members G and transverse members H. The side members G are preferably made in sections, which are dovetailed to each other and to the end member D, as shown. The transverse members H are shaped and coloured to represent hedges, fences, ditches, and similar obstacles, and may have the upper surface H<2> of undulating form so as to offer varying resistance to the movement of the horses. The horses F are attached to cords E, which pass through guides E<1> and are secured to the roller A. The horses are shaped as shown in Fig. 2, so that they tend to ride easily over the obstacles. The frame is clamped to a table, and the horses are placed at the full extent of the cords. When the roller is turned by means of the handle C, the irregularity in the winding of the cord and the resistance of the obstacles cause the horses to arrive at the end member D one after the other.
