Patent GB-191206913-A (GB)
Title: An Automatic Cutting or Severing Device for Clay Presses.
Inventor: RIEDEMANN JOHANN
IPC: B28B11/16
Filed: 1912-03-20
Granted: 1913-03-13
Abstract: 6913. Riedemann, J. March 20. Stream - cutting machines. - In automatic brick-cutting machines having a reciprocating cutting-carriage z, positively actuated, the carriage is reciprocated from the main shaft g by a crank w and spring connecting-rod y so that it may remain stationary at either end of its travel; and the oscillating cutting-frame r is operated by a rock-shaft u, mounted upon the stationary part of the machine and connected to the cutting-frame through togglelinks 9, so that the cutting-frame is operated independently of the movement of the carriage. The stream of clay a passes over rollers b on the carriage z and impinges against a forwardlyinclined flap c, which it turns into the vertical position. The flap e is connected by a balljointed link d<1> and lever d, Fig. 4, to a shaft f carrying a stop f normally in the path of a clutch device h, but turned aside on the movement of the flap, allowing the clutch to drive. A continuously-driven pulley m carries a series of rollers l, Figs. 4 and 15, adapted to engage the clutch member h, which is turned into the path of the rollers by a spring i and is mounted on a gear 14 connected to the main shaft g through reducing-gearing 15, 16, 20. Camdisks s, s<1> mounted upon the shaft g operate the shaft u and cutting-frame r through a lever t. In operation, after the release of the clutch, the cutting-frame is first oscillated to sever the clay into bricks; the carriage then moves forwards under the influence of the connecting-rod y until it reaches a stop 1, in which position the cut bricks are removed; finally the carriage is returned, the cutting-frame being also reversed. During the descent of the cutting- frame, the flap e is turned into the horizontal position owing to the cutting-frame engaging a projecting part thereof. As the cutting-frame ascends, it lifts the flap, which is turned into the normal forwardly-inclined position by a counterweight. To prevent dropping of the crank w when in the position shown in Fig. 15, the gear 14 is furnished with a disk 29 formed with ratchet teeth 29<1>, which are engaged by a weighted pawl 29"; the crank is also counterbalanced by a weight 30 secured to the disk. The clutch may be disengaged at any time by a sliding bar 25, Fig. 1, connected to a lever 21 operated by hand or foot. The clutch and gearing are enclosed in a casing 27, Fig. 4. formed at the bottom as an oil-bath 28.

Abstract: 2670. Jackson, J. G., and Jackson, Ltd., J. G. Feb. 1. Roller mills; roller-and-breast mills.-Rollers of the kind in which the grinding-surface is composed of an abrasive substance associated with a binding-agent of such a nature that the composition presents a uniform abrasive surface during wear, are used for reducing cocoa nibs, chocolate, and the like. The abrasive substance may consist of emery, carborundum, alundum, &c., and the binding-agent of magnesite, silica bond, &c. A roller having a peripheral layer of the composition may be used; and pairs of rollers may be arranged in one or more vertical series to effect a progressive reduction of the chocolate &c. The rollers may be arranged about one or a series of vertical lines so that the material passes alternately to the right and left through the rollers of the series, and the rollers of a series may be of equal or different abrasive characters. Diagonal or horizontal arrangements may be used instead of vertical. Some or all of the rollers may be heated or cooled: the heating-medium may be gas, steam, heated air, or electricity. A roller may consist of a hollow metal frame encased with abrasive composition. The sum of the peripheral speeds of pairs of the rollers of a series may be different, and the rollers of each pair or in the series may be of equal or different diameters. Stationary breasts faced with the composition may be used in conjunction with the rollers, and, when the rollers are disposed about a vertical line, the breasts may be placed alternately on opposite sides of the rollers of the series. With pairs of rollers, a double breast or two single breasts may be fitted beneath the discharge side of the rollers. The breasts may be heated or cooled.

Abstract: 3377. PÚniakoff, D. Feb. 11, 1913, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Aluminium and other nitrides; ammonia; cyanides.-Double nitrogen compounds of aluminium and alkali or alkaline-earth metals are prepared by heating in a current of nitrogen a mixture of carbon and an aluminate or a mixture of substances capable, when heated, of yielding aluminate. The mixture is preferably ground, moistened and formed into agglomerates, and the bodies so formed may be treated when stacked up as chequer-work in suitable furnaces. Furnaces of coke-oven or revolving types may be used, and these may be heated by the direct injection of pulverized coal or atomized liquid fuel.
