Granted: 1906-06-28
Abstract: 21,613. Sutcliffe, E. R. Oct. 24. Moulding bricks &c.-Relates to safety devices for the press described in Specification No. 14,937, A.D. 1902, or for similar rotary presses. A frame a, pivoted at one end to the frame at d, e and adjustably secured at the other end by pina b, c to a bracket f, carries rollers i, which lie in the path of the extensions h, g of the toggle-joint pin 45. As this pin moves inwards, the extensions ride over the rollers and thus raise the upper plunger o from the mould. In a modification, Fig. 3, the pin 45 has rods s connected to it, slots v in these rods passing round fixed pins t so that the plunger is operated as before. A spring-pressed tapered pin k is arranged to descend just before the upper plunger and engage a hole in the table; the tapering ensures that the table will be moved if necessary into exact alinement with the plungers. A false mould p surrounds the plunger o and moves round with it. It prevents material from being forced out and remaining above the mould It is prevented from rising from the table by springs operating through recesses in it or by lugs on the frame.

Title: Improvements in Electric Heaters for Fluids.
Filed: 1906-12-21
Granted: 1907-12-19
Abstract: 29,120. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. Dec. 21. Heating liquids.-Relates to an electric heater for fluids of the induced alternating-current type, in which heat is produced in a body designed to act both as an hysteretic core and as a closed secondary. The heavy secondary 12, Figs. 1 and 2, of an external transformer having a primary 10 and magnetic core 11 is surrounded by tubes 14 formed as passages in a magnetic shell or casing 13 jacketed with a non-conductor 17, 19 ; this shell forms the secondary and core within which heat due to hysteresis and eddy currents is produced. Liquid is caused to circulate through the tubes, which may be employed for generating steam or heating circulating water or oil, and enters and leaves by the pipes 15, 16, respectively. The coil 12 is narrowed or cut away at 18, as shown, so as to obviate the transfer of heat from the shell to the primary 10 without materially affecting the electric conduction. In one modification, the heating-coil is entirely surrounded by the casing ; in a further modification, Fig. 5, the heating-coil 22 is arranged so that liquid entering at 23 may first circulate round it, and thence pass through the tubes contained in the casing as before,

Title: Improvements in, and in Apparatus for use in, the Production of Seamless Metal Tubes.
Inventor: DRING WILLIAM JOSEPH
Filed: 1907-03-19
Granted: 1908-05-18
Abstract: 6599. Dring, W. J. March 19. Rolling.-Tubes are moved backwards and forwards between rolls for tapering, planishing, or otherwise shaping them, the upper roll of each pair being moved inwards so as to press on the tube as it moves in one direction and being retracted as the tube moves in the opposite direction. When used for tapering, the rolls are automatically moved gradually inwards as the tube moves in the working direction. The tapering &c. rolls M, M<1> are idle, and the upper rolls M are moved inwards by cam-wheels P driven through worm-gearing from a shaft t. The reciprocation of the tube H is effected by the pilger-rolls A, from which the shaft t is driven. The mandrel G is mounted so as to be capable of transverse movement when clear of the rolls, as described in Specification No. 6599A, A.D. 1907. Bars m<1>, Fig. 4, attached to the roll bearings are pressed upwards by springs n<1>, the downward movement of the rolls being obtained from the cam-wheel P by means of a sliding bolt T bearing upon a yoke T<1> which presses upon the roll bearings. Breaking pieces T<2> are provided in the yoke. The wheel P has a number of camsurfaces q, and the wheel is geared to the reciprocating mechanism so that it passes through one cam-segment for each reciprocation of the work. The roils M, M<1> have their grooves smaller and are nearer together as their distance from the pilgerrolls increases. The distance apart of the rollers may be adjusted by inserting liners between the yokes and the breaking pieces. The work-guide A' for supporting the work between the pilger and tapering &c. rolls moves along slides B<1>, and is attached to toggle-links e<1>, f<1> attachedto screwed pins g<1>, which are adjusted by nuts operated by pinions from a hand-wheel p<3>.
