Title: Improvements in Machines for Printing, Embossing, and Ironing Leather.
Inventor: WRIGHT BENJAMIN
Filed: 1907-12-30
Granted: 1908-10-08
Abstract: 28,570. Wright, B., and Wright, J. Dec. 30. Embossing ; printing leather.-In a travelling-cylinder machine for embossing, printing, or ironing leather, the cylinder-carriage g is reciprocated by a screw e, automatically stopped at each reciprocation of the carriage g by belt-shifting devices 53 actuated through adjustable spring stops 56 contacting with a lug on the carriage. The leather is preferably fed to a position between the embossing, printing, or ironing plate z and the impression roll q by an intermittently-actuated band 22, Fig. 5. The pressure of the roller q against the plate z is adjusted by turning the eccentrically-mounted roller-shaft p, through worm gearing w. The plate z is supported on a sliding head y, Fig. 5, working between the cross-girders b, connected by rods 8 to plates 6, 7, enclosing eccentrics 3. The head y &c. is counterbalanced by springs round the rods 8, or arranged to lift the plates 6. When the carriage g is started by movement of the rod 54, the lower inclined end of a pivoted stop 48 contacts with an incline 90 on an adjustable stop 40, and forces a bell-crank lever 69 away from the lever 64 of a one-revolution clutch 11 mounted on a shaft 12, and causes a spur-wheel 10 to make one revolution, thereby turning the eccentrics 3 through half a revolution, into the position shown in Fig. 5, and lowering the plate z into operative position. As the carriage g approaches the end of its stroke, the stop 48 contacts with a stop 39, and through pivoted levers 34, 35 again actuates the clutch, this time raising the plate z. During this movement, a stop on a bracket 84 attached to the plate 7 operates a bellcrank lever 76, and thus sets in motion a onerevolution clutch 64 driven by a chain from the clutch 11. This drives, through a chain 28, the feeding - roller 24 for the feeding-band 22, thus causing a fresh portion of leather to pass beneath the plate z. On the return motion of the carriage g, similar operations to those described above take place. The one-revolution clutch may consist of a collar 15 carrying the driving-pulley and revolving loosely on a sleeve 11, in which is mounted a pin 65 having a flattened end 66, which is normally held out of engagement with steel-faced recesses in the collar 15 by the lever 64, when this lever is held up by the above - mentioned bell - crank. When this support is removed, a spring turns the pin 65 so that the portion 66 engages with the recesses in the collar 15, and the sleeve 11, with the spur-wheel 10, is rotated until the lever 64 is again arrested. The die may be heated in any desired manner.

Title: Improvements in and connected with Apparatus of the Ejector Type for Producing a Vacuum.
Inventor: OGDEN ALEXANDER RALPH
Filed: 1908-03-09
Granted: 1908-10-01
Abstract: 5334. Ogden, A. R., and Stuart, R. W. March 9. Ejectors.-Relates to water-air ejectors, and consists chiefly in the provision of an enlarged waterinlet chamber with an attached air chamber for cushioning purposes, and in means for altering the area of the water nozzle and for preventing back pressure. The large inlet chamber p, with the attached air vessel o, delivers into the section b of the water nozzle. Disks r with perforations of different areas are fixed at the outlet end of the nozzle by means of a washer x and a socket piece y. A shield 10 is screwed on the nozzle c and, extending over the air inlets z, is closed by a perforated ring 11. An annular valve 12 closes these perforations when back pressure arises, and so prevents the vacuum from being destroyed. The nozzle c delivers into the doubly-flared screwed piece k which is locked by the ring q. The discharge pipe m is preferably bent vertically downwards and delivers into the tank 17 through a flanged outlet 14. A wire screen 18, through which the water is drawn by the pump 15, serves to facilitate the disengagement of the air. The pumps deliver the water to the ejector again by way of the pipe d. A valve of the hit-and-miss type may be used instead of the interchangeable disks r, the position of which relative to the air ports z is regulated by the use of washers z of different thickness. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 8, the amount of water passing is regulated by perforations 1 in the end of the nozzle b registering with perforations in the disk 2 of the socketpiece y. The nozzle b has a collar 3 bearing against the packing 5 in a screwed ring 4. A spanner ring 6 engages the flat faces of the nozzle and is turned by the handle 7.

Inventor: MAUSS WILHELM
Filed: 1908-08-08
Granted: 1909-04-15
Abstract: 16,685. Mauss, W. Aug. 8. Rock drills.-In valveless rock drills, the piston is driven, during the forward stroke, partly by jets of fluid which pass through piston-controlled grooves in the cylinder and impinge upon a suitable surface attached to the piston. The resulting pressure formed in the forward end of the cylinder reverses the piston. Fluid-pressure is admitted to the drill shown in Fig. 1 through ports d, and acts continuously upon the annular surface e of the piston b. Towards the end of the forward stroke, the fluid passes through ports h, the forward ends of which are tapered, and impinges upon the surface k<1> of a collar k attached to the piston-rod. The pistonrod is hollow, communicates with the atmosphere, and contains exhaust ports m, m<1>, which are opened on the return of the piston. The port m, of restricted area, maintains the exhaust for a portion of the forward stroke and thereby minimizes compression of fluid in the front part of the cylinder. A series of exhaust ports of increasing size or a tapered slot may be provided. During excessive forward movement of the piston, the collar k enters a cushioning-recess l<1>, which at the end of the stroke is exhausted through passages p, n and a port o to the atmosphere. In a modification of the drill, the piston b and the collar k are provided with protruding edges to increase the effectiveness of the jets.
