Granted: 1912-02-13
Abstract: 3631. Floryanowicz, J. Z., and Juljuszkicinski, T. M. Feb. 13. Combined buffer and draw gear; couplings, automatic.-A screw coupling is adapted to be held in a raised position by a member sliding under the vehicle, and to be caused to fall on to the hook of the adjacent vehicle by the impact of the buffers. The sliding member comprises a rack 13 guided between rollers 14 and carrying at its forward end rollers 20 which bear against a member 21 secured to the rear nut 22 of the coupling. The coupling- link 26 is supported by a cross-bar 27 secured to the front nut 24. Rotation of the nuts 22, 24 is prevented by pivoted bars 23 held by springs 25 on the nuts. The rack 13 is moved by a toothed segment 11 mounted on a shaft 10, a spring 12 serving to rotate the segment to hold the rack in its forward position. A pawl 17 mounted on a shaft 18 engages with notches 16 to hold the rack against forward movement. The pawl is released by rotating the shaft 18. Behind each buffer is disposed an horizontally-sliding bar 31 carrying at its front end a buffer-head 34, and at its rear end bearings for a shaft 30 to which are fixed chains 29 secured at their other ends to pulleys 28 on the shaft 10. On impact of the buffers, the bars 31 are pushed rearwardly and the chains 29 are operated to turn the shaft 10 and lower the coupling. Pawls 37 fixed to the shaft 30 and bearing against the bars 31 serve to prevent rotation of the shaft 30 during this operation. To uncouple with the coupling screwed up, the pawl 37 is thrown out of action by sliding the shaft 30 slightly in its bearings and rotating it to the position shown in Fig. 4, and the vehicles are buffed together. The rod carrying the rollers 20 is adjustable on a central pivot to facilitate coupling on curves. In a modification, the rollers 20 are carried by a member fixed to and depending from the rear nut of the coupling, and are engaged by curved bars carried by the rack 13.

Abstract: 5396. Campbell, J. S. March 3. Plastic compositions containing seaweed, fibres, india-rubber, etc.; seaweed, treating.- A composition for use as an artificial leather, packing, or the like consists of seaweed, with or without other vegetable matter, which has been boiled in ammonia, to which is added fibrous material, powdered filling-material, and a glutinous or resilient binder, the whole being agitated in a heated condition, and may be pressed and vulcanized. Oil may also be added to the mass before heating. A preferred method of carrying the invention into effect is as follows:-5 cwt. of seaweed are boiled with 1 gal. of À880 ammonia to form a jelly. A small quantity of chromate salts may be added, and the whole is heated and agitated. 1 gal. of oil, as resin oil, is added, and then 1 cwt. of hair, vegetable fibre, or the like is mixed in. A powdered filler composed of magnesia 25 per cent of the weight of the seaweed, chalk 6¢ per cent, lime 2¢ per cent, antimony sulphide 3¢ per cent, zinc oxide 3¢ per cent, whitening 5 per cent, sulphur 3¢ per cent is next added and the whole agitated with the addition of a small quantity of wood extract, tannin, or the like. The whole is then mixed and agitated with about 25 per cent of the weight of seaweed of a resinous gum such as pontianac, jelutong, gutta-percha, or reclaimed rubber waste, and after heating the material is rolled into sheets and finally heated under pressure to vulcanize it. Fish oil may be added to give a smell of leather. In making packing - material, the addition of fibre is not necessary.

Abstract: 20,883. Fancher, C. J. Sept. 21. Damping materials in long lengths.-Relates to the general construction of machines for affixing postage stamps &c. A roll of stamps is placed in a separate compartment 8, Fig. 2, of the machine casing, the strip being fed along a tray 70. Grippers 99, 101 seize the end stamp, detach it, and carry it over a damping-wick 47 into position beneath the plunger 14, in known manner. The roll of stamps is mounted on a stud projecting from a pivoted arm which can be swung to the outside of the casing when the door 6 is unlocked and opened. As the gripping- jaw 101 returns to the normal position shown in Fig. 2, it rocks arms 71, Fig. 16, about a pivot 56, and serrated arcuate. feeding-members 76, pivoted at 75 to the arms 71, are thereby given a combined rolling and sliding motion on the stamp strip in the tray 70 and feed the end stamp on to the gripping-jaw 99, Fig. 2. This is carried by arms 91 pivoted at 23, and the jaw 101 is. carried by arms pivoted at 103 to the arms 91. Links 107 connect the plunger 14 to the arms which carry the jaw 101, and the jaws are normally kept apart by spring action. When the plunger is depressed, the jaw 101 is closed on to the jaw 99, thus gripping the end stamp, and the arms 91 carrying both jaws are then rocked downwards, drawing the stamp strip along until the first perforations therein are caught on teeth 87, Fig. 16, at the end of the tray 70. The arms 71, Fig. 16, descend with the jaw 101, and a rod 72 carried thereby presses the stamp on 'to the damping-wick. The end stamp is then torn from the strip by the gripping-jaws.

Abstract: 16,923. Thompson, W. P., [Soc. Anon. "La Ceramique Nationale"]. July 20. Feeding and measuring ; rotary - mould-table machines.-In rotary-mould-table machines for the manufacture of patterned or fancy tiles, each colour is supplied to the mould by a separate feeding-device. A rotary-mould-table 1, provided with apertures to receive moulds 6, is intermittently rotated by segmental gearing 5 and carries the moulds furnished with stencils at I, in turn, beneath a series of colour-supply devices II, III, IV, V, VI, each comprising a hopper 11, Fig. 4, fitted with measuring-slides 12, 13, and a sliding counter pattern 22. Sieves 14, carried by a framework 16 pivoted to the table shaft and oscillated by cams 18, 19, and springs 21, distribute the colour on to the counter patterns 22, which, after supplying the colour to the mould, are withdrawn rearwards and inverted to discharge the superfluous colour into a suitable receptacle. The counter pattern 22 is mounted on pivots 25 sliding in guides 26 and is reciprocated by a bifurcated rod 28 operated by a crank pin 31 on a disk 33 engaging a cam slot in a lever 32. A piu 36 on the disk 33 also engages a lever 35 and inverts the counter pattern through a spring-controlled rack 34 engaging with a pinion 27 on the pivot 25. The motor shaft 24, carrying the disk 33, also operates a shaft 50 carrying arms 49, 55 which withdraw the slides 12, 13, against the action of springs 51. After the moulds have been supplied with the desired colours, they reach the position VII, where the stencils are removed by hand and placed on a conveyer 10 which carries them back to I. At VII<a> the moulds are filled with body material from a hopper 39, at VIII the tiles are pressed, and at VIII<a> the mould bottoms 8, Fig. 5, are withdrawn and the pressed tiles delivered by a device 43 on to a conveyer 44, which conveys them to the furnace or drying-oven.
