Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Inlaid Linoleum, and in Machinery or Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: SCOTT CHARLES HERBERT
Filed: 1898-01-13
Granted: 1898-12-23
Abstract: 980. Scott, C. H. Jan. 13. Coated fabrics.-Relates to the manufacture of inlaid linoleum. The granulated or other coating- material is distributed from fixed feed-boxes 7, through adjustable apertures 7<b> in the sides of the boxes, on to plates 5, which are reciprocated, by a link and lever connection from a rocking shaft, to bring them alternately under the feed-boxes and under the hollow dies 10. The dies are mounted on the pressure block 6, and are each fitted internally with a plunger 11. In operation, the dies separate out portions 8<a> of the coating- material, which are compressed by the further descent of the plungers 11. The plungers are then raised slightly, producing a suction effect, which holds the material in the dies, after which the plungers and dies are raised together to permit the backward movement of the plate 5. A second descent of the plungers and dies affixes the material in the dies to the backing 3. The plungers may be fitted with non-return valves 11*, Fig. 6, or they may be made hollow and connected by flexible tubing to an air-exhausting apparatus, to increase the suction effect. To further prevent the material 8<a> from slipping out of the dies, pins 13, Fig. 7, having flared ends, may be fixed to the pressure-block 6, or the dies themselves may be tapered downwardly. The plungers may be bevelled or rounded, as shown at 11<e>, to form the blocks 8<a> with peripheral beads or edges, which, in the final pressing operation, close the interspaces between the blocks. The backing 3 is fed, with a step-by-step movement, by an endless conveyer 1, which may be operated as described in Specification No. 978, A.D. 1898. The pressure block 6 is mounted on a cross-bar 6<a>, which is connected at its ends to the cam-operated bar 13.

Couplings, automatic and non-automatic.-Relates to screw couplings, and provides apparatus for operating them from the sides of the vehicle and for making them automatic. Each link f is connected by the usual right and left handed screw m to the nut i which is carried by side bars d from the hook b. The link is raised into coupling position by a frame r which is pivoted on the cross-shaft q. The shaft q is operated by end levers s, and is retained in set position by the hook o<1> on the shaft o. Arms w on the shaft o are placed opposite the ends of the buffer rods x. When two cars come together, the link f takes a position over the opposite hook b and the buffers then release the shaft q so as to allow the link to drop into position. The side bars d are provided with projections e for raising the opposite link from its hook to uncouple it. The safety coupling is engaged by raising the second link f high enough to engage with the safety hook n when the latter is swung towards it by the rod n<1> from the rod n'. Hoods z carrying springs z<1> are for directing an approaching link into position over its coupling-hook b. The screw m is rotated by a wheel j which is turned from outside by some such means as a lever reaching into the spokes.
