Abstract: 19,468. Moorcroft, H., and Clarke, H. Aug. 26. Presses and moulding machines with fixed mould tables or moulds; feeding and measuring ; delivery; moulds,. pressing plungers and dies; pressure-producing mechanism.-Relates to tile presses, particularly those in which a number of tiles are formed one above the other at each stroke of the press. To ensure parallelism of the top die a, it is secured to the die block b by bolts or plates e having undercut portions engaging undercut grooves d in the die a, whereby packing-pieces can be inserted between the parts a, b. The bottom die g is formed with a central ejecting-portion i which is operated relatively to the die g by an adjustable bowl x on a lever v engaging the underside of the press ; the lever v is pivoted to the lifting-rod p of the die g and engages with a rod m passing through the rod p and screwed into the portion i. When making two tiles, the feed of material for the first tile is regulated by an adjustable stop 11, formed on a slide 8, which is engaged by a spring stop 5 mounted in a portion 7 of a hand-lever 3 connected to a shaft s fitted with a lever r for raising the lower die. The position of the stop is adjusted by a micrometer screw 10 and the die is raised, during filling, by a foot-lever 13. After the material for the first tile has been inserted, the lever 13 is released, allowing the die g to fall to the bottom of the mould. A second die is then placed upon the material in the mould and the mould filled with material to form the second tile. Pressure is then applied by the upper die. The stop 5 is released by a hand-lever 4 when raising the bottom die to eject the pressed tiles. To prevent accidental dropping of the upper die, it is locked in its raised position by a pivoted catch or tumbler 20 mounted upon a rod 18 and engaging with depending arms 22 on the fly-wheel 14. The catch is released by raising or rotating the rod 18 by a lever 23. The capacity of the mould may be varied by securing one or more rings of suitable thickness to the upper edge thereof.

Abstract: 22,240. Peerce, W. S. Sept. 30. Chlornitrohydrocarbons. -Chlorinated nitrobenzene, chlorinated nitrotoluene, and chlorinated nitro naphthalene, for use in explosives are manufactured as follows. The benzene and toluene are mixed before nitration and chlorination, or are chlorinated and nitrated separately. The chlorination and nitration are performed simultaneously by the use of a mixture of nitric acid, sulphuric acid, and hydrochloric acid. The distillate is agitated and heated to a temperature of 25-30‹ C. while the acid mixture is dropped in; the temperature is then raised to 80‹ C. and maintained there until all reaction ceases. After cooling, the product is drawn into cold water, allowed to settle for two hours, decanted, drained, washed, and dehydrated, preferably in a centrifugal dehydrator resembling a cream-separator. The chlorinated nitronaphthalene is prepared by adding naphthalene to a mixture of nitric acid and hvdrochloric acid, plunging the product in cold water, allowing it to settle, decanting, washing in boiling water, crushing, and drying by evaporation.

Abstract: 11,166. Nelson, R. May 13. L a m p , indicator, semaphore, and automatic signals; mechanical telegraphs. - In a mine signalling system, the fact that the cage is required at an intermediate level or gallery is indicated in the engine-house by visible signals e, e<2>, k, which operate independently of the usual code signals, and corresponding signals D are simultaneously operated at the pit bottom to indicate that the cage is about to be used. The engine man, having brought the cage to the required level, unlocks a protecting gate f at the mouth of the level by depressing a pedal g, which is connected to a bolt h, a semaphore signal p being simultaneously operated near the gate to show that it is unlocked. The opening of the gate operates tell-tale signals e<1>, k<1> in the enginehouse. Flexible operating-connexions b, c, i, g<3> are employed, and the signals are given by a lever a, which may be fixed in the signalling- position by a pin. The engine-house signals consist of pointers k, k<1> attached to the flexible connexions b, i, and electric lamps e, e<2>, e<1> controlled by contact-plates j<1>, j<3>, b<3>, which move with the pointers. The pit-bottom signals D are similar. Where there are several intermediate levels, signals are shown at each level as well as at the pit-bottom and engine-house. The flexible connexion is moved to a different extent according to the level from which the signal is given, and a shutter in each signal device is thereby moved opposite to one of a corresponding number of openings in a casing containing a lamp. The flexible connexions are made in pieces connected by sliding rods, as shown in Fig. 7.
