Title: Improvements in the Moulds of Linotype Machines.
Inventor: LOCK WILLIAM HENRY
Filed: 1898-07-21
Granted: 1899-07-15
Abstract: 15,923. Lock, W. H., Holliwell, C., and Lewis, W. J. July 21. Linotype machines.-Relates to improvements in the moulds of linotype machines, particularly machines of the type described in Specifications No. 14,582, A.D. 1890, and No. 6170, A.D. 1896. The mould consists of two parts O<17>, O<18>, Fig. 1, the plate O<18> being fixed in the mould wheel 0, and the cap plate O<17> having studs O<129> which slide in holes in the plate O<18> and are normally pressed outwards by springs O<131>. The motion of the plate O<17> is limited by its rear portion engaging a slot O<36> in the mould wheel. The cores and distance-pieces O<13>, O<14> are secured to the plate O<17>. This plate is actuated so as to open the mould ready for the passage of the ejector by means of a star-wheel O<60> which bears on a spring plate O<135> secured to the plate O<17> and engages on the rotation of the wheel 0 a fixed projection O<57> which turns it into the position shown in full lines, when the springs O<131> open the mould and the ejector removes the linotype. The plate O<18> is formed with a lug O<136> having undercut edges which secure the linotype when the plate O<17> is released. The ejector is formed with a groove to allow it to pass the lug O<136>. On the further rotation of the wheel 0, a projection O<58>, slightly longer than the former one O<57>, turns the starwheel into the position shown in dotted lines, and closes the mould ready for casting. In a modification, the springs O<131> are dispensed with, the pins O<129> passing through the plate O<18> and being secured together by a plate which is actuated so as to open the mould by a projection on the justification rod, which engages inclined surfaces on the plate, and is caused to move along them by levers connecting the justification rod with a camplate. Figs. 8 and 11 show a mould for casting narrow linotypes, and for forming a double V recess in the linotype. The linotype is held to the plate O<18> by forming the latter with a series of undercut grooves O<70>, the ridges formed by these grooves on the linotype being afterwards removed by the trimming-knife. A core c'‹ having ridges c<21> is secured to the plate O<17> to form a double V recess in the linotype, and is of such a thickness that, when the mould is closed, a space just sufficient for the metal to flow into the mould cavity O<137> is left, so that the narrow linotype is formed with a thin sprue or git which is secured to the plate O<17> by double V-ridges O<71>. On opening the mould, the git is lifted with the plate O<17>, is broken off the linotype, and is ejected after the linotype by projections formed on the ejector.

Granted: 1899-02-18
Abstract: 25,369. Boult, A. J., [Karger, L. H.]. Dec. 1 Gas supply.-Relates to compressed gas installations for lighting and heating. A suitable motor, shown as a hot-air engine A, having an asbestoslined jacket B surrounding the cylinder, is connected to the compressor F by belt gearing, as shown.

The gas inlet pipe Z leads into the chamber H, from which the pipe h leads to the compressor. The compressed gas passes through a non-return valve i<1> into the chamber I, whence it is led to the burners. A bye-pass m allows gas to be passed directly to the burners when the engine is not running. The applicability of the installation for compressing gas used as a heating-agent for soldering or melting purposes is mentioned.

The sole is varnished by a brush E, secured by an arm F to the rod D, and caused to rotate by bevel gearing K connecting it to a rack H formed on the frame G. The brushes L, M, E are fed from a tank S secured to the rod D by means of pipes t, t<1>, t<2>. The bars D of several of these arrangements are connected together and actuated by a rod e, Fig. 3, secured to a rod d mounted on rollers on a guide c, of shape similar to that of the frames G, and engaged by a slotted arm a secured to a shaft b, which can be rotated to actuate the arm a &c. By dispensing with the brushes L and M the machine may be used to apply india-rubber solution to rubber soles &c.

Granted: 1900-07-14
Abstract: 14,646. Trench, A., [Executor of Trench, F. J.]. July 15. Tyres, pneumatic &c. ; felloes or rims.- Relates mainly to means for attaching pneumatic and other elastic tyres to the flat-sectioned rims of motor - r o a d - vehicle wheels and the like. Figs. 1, 2<B>, 18, 33, and 48 show in sectional elevation fiva forms, of which there are many slight modifications. Within each edge of the outer cover A, Fig. 1, is a metal band D the ends of which are secured together by any means. At intervals along these bands, projecting pieces E are fixed, each piece having an extension G which lies close to the side of the rim H and felloe I, and is secured in position by a bolt J and nuts or equivalent means. The corresponding pieces E may be chained, hooked, or hinged together as at P, Figs. 33 and 48, or they may be in one strip V, Figs. 2<B>, 18, and 20, and they may be fixed to the bands D either by rivets 0, Fig. 1, or by channel-pieces U, Fig. 18 or by being passed through or around the bands. The bolt J, Fig. 1, may be replaced by a hinged bolt J, Fig. 48, or by a bar J, Fig. 18, with pins K, or by spring clips, or by prolonging the extensions G, Fig. 33, and pivoting them to allow them to be secured behind the felloe I by bolts J. There may be one or two bands D of any cross-section, and they may lie outside the edges of the cover, which are then provided with stuffing-strips secured to the bands. The rim is preferably of flat crosssection, but it may be slightly curved, and if there are flanges these are turned towards the centre of the wheel. Slipping is prevented by constructing the tyre with bulges which, in the case of a pneumatic tyre, are formed as indicated in Fig. 34. The canvas has cut-away parts a, b, c, d, through which the inflated air tube may project slightly, or the edges a b c, a d c of the slits are brought together and fixed in position. In modifications, the canvas may be woven of the shape thus obtained, or the bands D, Fig. 1, may be slightly waved circumferentially.
