Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 18,395. Chamonin, L. A. Aug. 10. Circular-flow type; casings; balancing moving parts; blades, vanes, nozzles, and the like; regulating; setting and alining turbines and shafts.-Relates to turbines of the type in which the fluid is caused to act several times on the blades of the same rotor. The angles of inclination of the nozzles 15, 28, 29 to the wheel decrease progressively, and the inlet angles of the nozzles 28, 29 increase. The nozzles 28, 29 are each formed of two stampings, between which the blades 30 are secured. When two rotors 9, 10, Fig. 1, of this type are used, the steam is expanded to atmospheric pressure in the first wheel, and to condenser pressure in the second. Three nozzles 15 are provided to each wheel 9, 10, and two of them are controlled by valves 18, Fig. 6. The gunmetal lining 15 is held in place by a screw 20 engaging a lug 21. The number of nozzles on the second-stage wheel may be increased. The first wheel - chamber 6 may be fitted with an automatic or hand-operated safety valve 25 for use in starting, or in the event of a condenser breakdown. Labyrinth packings 12 are provided. The casing is divided on an horizontal plane, Fig. 2, and the steam-supply pipe is made in two parts 13, 14 to avoid having a highpressure joint. Steel-pipes inside the chambers connect the nozzles with one another. The nozzles may be so disposed about the wheel that for normal working the weight of the wheel is balanced. In a modification, a single wheel is used. The wheel is alined axially by means of screwed collars in the bearings. Displacement due to temperature changes is avoided by securing the casings 1 to the bearings 2, 3, Fig. 1.

Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 3089. Lake, W. E., [Goss Printing Press Co.]. Feb. 8. Delivery apparatus.-Transverse folding-mechanism of the kind in which a folding- blade on a carrier folds the paper into gripping-jaws on a carrier which carries the folded sheet to delivery mechanism is constructed with gripping-devices and carriers adapted to fold a number of thicknesses of paper, and with modified means for operating the jaws and for co - operating with them to guide the folded product to the delivery mechanism. As shown, the paper is led from cutting-cylinders 12, 13 between guides 18, 19 to a cylinder 23 or other moving carrier, which may be provided with grippers &c. for holding the paper on the carrier. A projecting folding- blade 27 on the carrier 23 tucks the paper into folding jaws 51, 59, Figs. 1 and 3, which are pivoted in recesses in rollers 47, 54, and are pressed together by adjustable springs 52, 60. The rollers 47, 54 are geared together and are mounted respectively in arms 46 pivoted to arms 38 of a frame 37 and in arms 56, which are pivoted in the arms 46 and are pressed towards the arms 46 by spring-pressed rod 65 acting on arms 56<a> of the levers 56. When the paper is tucked into the jaws 51, 59, the frame 3 is moved to the left against the action of springs 44 by cams 32, which act on rollers 43 on links 41 formed with forked ends 42 embracing the shaft of the cams. A gear-wheel 48 on the roller 47 engages a fixed rack 49, and, as the frame 37 moves, the rollers 47, 54 are rotated in the direction of the arrows in Fig. 3, and the paper is held by the grippers for a part of the rotation of the rollers and is advanced over a guide 77. When the paper is released from the grippers, it is advanced by' flanges 47<a>, 54<a> on the rollers and is guided by trough-shaped guides 78, which receive the edges of the paper, and is directed to a delivery cylinder 81 in a direction tangential to the cylinder. The guides 78 are concentric with a shaft 35, on which the frame 37 is freely mounted. When the cylinders have completed one revolution, the arms 46 are raised by rods 70 and cams 36 acting on rollers 75 kept in contact with the cams by springs 74 acting on arms 72 connecting forked ends 71 of the rods 70. The rollers thus cease to rotate, and at about the same time the upper roller 54 is raised from the roller 47, to free the paper from the grippers and permit the cylinder 81 to grip it, by the action of cams 80 on rollers 69 carried by the levers 56. From the cylinder 81 the paper is directed to a belt 93 by strippers 94. In a modified form of apparatus, a camoperated folding blade, which is projected only during the folding operation, is employed; the wheel 48 is constantly in gear with its fixed rack; and the frame 37 is actuated by a closed instead of an open cam.

Inventor: WALLER WILLIAM
IPC: B23K1/18
Filed: 1911-02-01
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 2586. Waller, W. Feb. 1. Soldering; seaming. - In sealing tins, cans, &c. of the type in which the body and lid have downturned flanges, the flanges are pressed inwards by wheels, rollers, or other tools, either after or during soldering. The soldering may be effected by conveying the solder to the joint by means of revoluble rollers, and the tins &c. may be rotated during operation. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the tin a is mounted on a fixed or revoluble table b<1>, and is held and rotated by a chuck b which enters the recessed lid so as to prevent deformation during squeezing. The soldering-wheels g<1>, which may also be used for the squeezing operation, are mounted in sliding brackets g operated by a right and left handed screw l<1>, and are rotated by contact with the can or by bevel-gearing k<1>, in solder baths g<2> heated by jets h. When acting on a non- circular tin, the tin may be made to work to and fro, or the brackets may be controlled by the action of a cam n against which they are pressed by springs. The joint may be fluxed by a moving arm or by a fluxing-wheel, rotated by contact with the tin and mounted in a bath similar to g<2>, and the joints may be cleaned by a wiper m. The flanges may be bent in by U-shaped squeezing-jaws o, Fig. 7, with the can stationary, the table b' in moving downwards operating two headed pins x, which act on bellcrank levers v engaging rollers on the spring- retracted slides carrying the jaws. The bending of the flanges may also be effected by rollers similar to g<1>, or by horizontal rollers against the conical edge of which the cans are pressed by moving down the chucks. The solder may be supplied to the joint by an horizontal perforated hollow wheel g<1>, Fig. 4, or by an inclined hollow wheel from the lower edge of which the solder overflows on to the joints. According to the Provisional Specification the cans may be carried in revolving chucks in a series of any required number of an annular disk encircling the hollow horizontal solder wheel, the closing-rollers operating from around the outside periphery of the disk.

Abstract: 3803. Forrester, H. J. C., [Precision Glass Grinding Co.]. Feb. 15. Disk and wheel apparatus.-A machine for grinding glass stoppers so that they may be interchangeably mated with the ground necks of glass vessels, is constructed with a vertical slotted feed-tube, down which the stoppers are fed, and from the bottom of which they are automatically taken by a carrier 60, Fig. 1, which thrusts them into an automatically-closing rotary chuck 55, where they are successively operated upon first by the coarse grinding-wheel 120 and then by the fine wheel 121, the grinders reciprocating axially during operation. The chuck then automatically discharges the ground stopper. A groove cam on the driving-shaft operates the carrier 60, and the grinders are reciprocated axially by rods 133 receiving motion from an eccentrically-operated rocker arm 143. The chuck, Fig. 18, into which the stopper heads are thrust by the carrier 60 comprises a longitudinally-split sleeve, having a recess 73 to receive the stopper head and carried by a longitudinally-movable rod 85 within the rotating sleeve 77; a sleeve 100 is moved longitudinally by an arm actuated from the cam 118, Fig. 1, and allows levers 103 to slide down its tapered end 101, the consequent movement of the ends 111 of the levers allowing an endlong movement of the rod 85 under the influence of the spring 87 to thrust the split sleeve outwards and allow its split end to open and permit the ejection of the finished stopper x by a spring pusher 94. The stopper carrier then thrusts another stopper into the recess 73 and a further movement of the cam 118 and sleeve 100 retracts the split sleeve into the sleeve 77, whereupon it closes upon the stopper to be ground. The levers 103 are mounted on a sleeve 106 spring-pressed outwards from an annular casing 108 on the chuck spindle, the elasticity of throw of the levers 103 thus produced preventing the chuck jaws from closing too heavily on the stopper heads and crushing such as are larger than the average.
