Abstract: 13,809. Goldreich, S., and Palmer, J. L. June 12. India-rubber, extracting from shrubs &c.- Apparatus for treating the bark of landolphia vines and other kinds of rubber-bearing plants, to remove non-laticiferous portions, comprises means for grinding away the outer non-laticiferous portions of the bark without materially pressing it, in combination with means for pressing the remaining portions without grinding them. The machine may consist of three pairs of rolls mounted one above the other, the top pair 2, 3 being toothed or fluted and driven at unequal speeds so as to grind away the outer portions of the bark, while the other rolls 4, 5 and 6, 7 rotate at substantially equal speeds and serve to press the remaining portions of the bark without grinding them. The pressure is regulated by springs 17 pressing against the bearing-blocks 20 of the front rolls 3, 5, 7. The roll 2 is driven from the driving-pulley 8 through a pinion 9, wheel 10, pinions 11, 12, 13, and wheel 14 on the axle of the roll, and the roll 3 is driven from the roll 2 by wheels 15, 16. The rolls 4, 5 and 6, 7 may have similar surfaces to those of the rolls 2, 3. The rolls 5, 7 are driven from the rolls 4, 6 respectively, by wheels 31, 32 and 33, 34, and one wheel of each pair may have one more tooth than the other wheel so as to keep the rolls clean. The material is fed from a hopper 30. and short hoppers or guides are provided to direct the material from one pair of rolls to the next below. A rotating cylindrical sieve 24 receives the material from the lowest rolls, and eliminates the waste or non-laticiferous portions of the hark. The sieve is mounted on an inclined shaft 25 driven by belt gearing 27 from the shaft 29 carrying the wheel 10. According to the Provisional Specification, the sieve may be fixed on an horizontal axis to which may he attached a series of inclined blades driven by toothed or chain gearing.

IPC: B41B3/04
Filed: 1912-10-28
Granted: 1913-10-23
Abstract: 24,692. Decker, A. G. Feb. 9, [Convention date]. Setting and distributing type.-Relates to machines for setting and distributing short-body type of the form shown in Fig. 6. The type have grooves 9 in two sides to engage the bars of the magazine, and are bevelled on a third side 12 to permit them to be readily separated from a line. The magazine consists of I-shaped bars 6, Fig. 1, forming channels in which the type are retained by vertically movable gates 14 at the lower end of the magazine. The gates 14 are carried by sliding bars 15, Fig. 4, each of which also carries a bevelled type-extractor 27. When a gate is raised, the extractor separates the lowest type from the remainder and pushes it downwards so that it slides into a line-holder. The bars 15 are raised against the pressure of a comb spring by an arm 30 mounted to slide without rotation on a shaft 35. The shaft is rocked to effect the extraction of a type by a key-lever 69 secured to one end of the shaft. Mounted to slide on the shaft 35 and to carry the arm 30 with it is a type-holder carriage 43 having a slot to receive a grooved type-stick 76 in which the line is assembled. A pointer 74, Fig. 1, secured to the carriage and moving over a scale 75, facilitates the adjustment of the carriage. The carriage is positioned exactly by the arm 30, which enters slots in a cross-bar 4 of the machine frame, the entrances to the slots being bevelled so as to effect any slight lateral adjustment of the carriage that may be necessary. To permit this adjustment to occur without binding of the carriage on the shaft 35, the shaft is movable lengthways, and is spring-pressed at its ends. The type are prevented from sliding out of the stick by suitable spring clips 84. Two type-sticks 76<a>, 76<b> secured to one side of the machine frame are used for making corrections, the upper part of a line containing an error being slid into one of these sticks so that an incorrect letter may be removed. The distributing-mechanism comprises a type-holder carriage 85, Fig. 1, similar to that of the setting-mechanism and sliding on a longitudinally - movable shaft 96. A single type gate and extractor are mounted on the carriage and are operated by an arm on the shaft 96 which is rocked by a key-lever 123. A separate locating-arm engages bevelled slots in the upper cross-bar of the machine frame to adjust the carriage exactly..

Abstract: 2776. Es, L. J. C. van. July 1, 1912. [Convention date]. Percussive drills.-In hydraulic percussion drills in which the exhaust water is utilized for flushing - out the bore-hole, the piston is formed as a distributing-member. In Fig. 1 the piston f has recesses n, through which passes pressure water supplied through tubes a, an air chamber b, and tubes c. When the water reaches a given speed of flow, the piston is moved to close the recesses n, whereupon the full force of the water acts on the piston to give a blow. The water then recoils and a spring h returns the piston, the return being cushioned by a spring g; the sequence of operations is then repeated. In a modification, the piston is hollow and lateral slots replace the recesses n. In further modifications, the drills are shown as hand-tools for boring small holes.

Abstract: 11,724. Verney, V. May 20, 1912, [Convention date]. Screw motors.-Friction gearing C, M is arranged between the windmill shaft a and the vertical shaft b, and the wind-wheel Q and its shaft move axially as the wind pressure increases, so that the wheel C travels across the disk M, thereby reducing the ratio of transmission. The axial movement takes place against the action of a spring m, a lever 13 pivoted at 14 being connected with the shaft a by a lever 11. The spring m increases the pressure between the friction disks as the load transmitted increases. The wind-wheel shaft may be geared to the shaft a, and the axial displacement may be magnified by a linkage. Conical disks may be employed, and balancing counterweights may be provided where required. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the following. A tail vane having suitable weights on its edges keeps the wheel in the wind, and a vane having a hinged flap takes it out of the wind at high wind velocities. The wind-wheel blades are of a special spoon shape, and are supported by ribs, stays, and hoops. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
