Title: Apparatus for Clearing Ascension Pipes of Gas Retorts.
Inventor: TREWBY GEORGE CARELESS
Filed: 1901-03-11
Granted: 1902-02-13
Abstract: 5094. Trewby, G. C., and Biggart, A. S. March 11. Cleaning pipes.-A flexible shaft, operated by mechanical means and carrying a tool, is employed for clearing deposits from ascension pipes. An open carriage C, which may be suspended from an overhead railway, or, as shown, run upon wheels D on rails E, can be moved in front of any retort F by means of gearing G, connected to the axle H and controlled by an attendant. A horizontal or inclined beam or frame I is supported therefrom, and can be raised or lowered so as to be in a line with any retort by means of a hydraulic ram J and chains K. On this beam may be mounted a long hydraulic or other cylinder, the ram of which has at its free end the flexible shaft M carrying the cleaning-tool N. Or the shaft M may be secured to the end of a circular screwed shaft L. The guiding-nozzle 0 for the shaft M slides along the beam, and is operated by a crosshead P connected to a rack S, which is operated by gearing S' from a hand-wheel S<2>. The forward end of the nozzle can thus be brought directly under the ascension pipe to be cleared. The screw L is then operated by the hand-wheel L', to drive forwards and upwards the shaft M and clearing-tool N. To facilitate the clearing, a rotary movement may be given to the tool N by fixing a bevel pinion L<8> on the shaft L and gearing it with a transverse traversing-rack operated by a hydraulic ram, or the pinion may be driven by bevel gearing from a spindle L<5> driven by any source of power. When the pipe is cleared, the movements are reversed, the flexible shaft being first withdrawn, and then the nozzle 0. The nozzle may be perforated, and can be adjusted at any angle on the beam, so as to enter retorts on the right and left of its position, by means of a hand-wheel R and gearing R', R' R<3>, and R<4>. The flexible shaft may be operated by hydraulic, electric, or other power. The Provisional Specification states that, in small works, all the moving parts may be hand-operated.

Title: Improvements relating to Cartridges
Inventor: JONES EDWARD
Filed: 1903-06-18
Granted: 1904-04-21
Abstract: 13,660. Jones, E. June 18. Cartridge-loading machines.-Relates to apparatus for automatically capping and anvilling sporting and other cartridges. The cartridges are arranged in apertures in a table b, Fig. 1, rotated by a pinwheel c engaging with slots in its periphery, and the table is held in position, during the various operations, preferably by a convex cam-like crownpiece on the pin-wheel engaging with concave recesses on the table. The anvils, arranged in perforations in a plate h, are allowed to fall, by moving the plate, through a channel in the supporting-table g into the hopper f. The anvils are successively fed into the cap chambers by automatically releasing a spring bolt k, Fig. 4, from contact with the bottom anvil, by means of a lever m operated by a pin n on the verticallyreciprocating capping-slide o, the cartridge being raised, so that its cap chamber engages with the conical end of the hopper f by a plungerp operated by a reciprocating slide q, Fig. 1. A spring plunger, carried by the capping-slide o, enters the cap chamber when the cartridge advances beyond the anvilling position, so that, in the event of a cartridge not receiving an anvil, the plunger descends to the bottom of the cap chamber, and a shoulder thereon forces a trip-lever s into engagement with a lever t. When the slide o rises, the other end of the lever t releases a bell-crank lever u from engagement with a bolt w, which then falls into the path of a cam on a sliding sleeve y of the driving- clutch, and disengages it. The capping is effected as described in Specification No. 2629, A.D. 1902. A spring is interposed between the capping-punch and the capping-slide o, and the feeding-slide fitted in the cap hopper is operated from the capping-slide through linkage R'. The cartridge is supported during capping by a plunger 5, Fig. 10, on the slide q, and the top of the plunger is automatically cleaned by the upper end of a lever 6, or a pivoted attachment thereon, the lower end of the lever being acted upon by a cam 7 on the slide q.

Granted: 1904-12-23
Abstract: 28,319. Pollard, C. E. Dec. 24. Shutters.-I n a roller-blind shutter, means are provided for varying and indicating the tension of the driving-spring, the aperture, and the speed. To set the shutter, the wheel 26, Fig. 5, is turned by external knobs, and drives the shaft 2 through the pinion 22. This pinion 22 also gears with the wheel 27, Fig. 2, to wind the blind 35, Fig. 1, through gearing 18, 19, and the blind cords 28, 29 on the pulleys 6. The catch 38 on the release lever 37 engages the ratchet-wheel 18 to hold the shutter in set position. To adjust the aperture and the tension of the spring 34, the knob 14 is first pressed in against the spring 15 so that the pin 13 passes through the bracket 12, an indication of this being given by an external pointer 25. The movement of the shaft 2 puts the wheels 7, 8 into gear, and simultaneously throws the pinion 22 into a recess 20 and out of gear with the wheel 27. The pin 11, Fig. 3, also releases a spring-controlled catch 9 holding the wheel 7 so that, on turning the wheel 26, the shaft 2 is rotated as before, driving the shaft 1 through gearing 7, 8, thus winding the cord 24 on to the pulley 5 from the pulley 30, and altering the tension of the spring 34. The simultaneous motion of the shaft 2 alters the aperture by winding the cords 28, 29 on the pulley 6, and the indications of the tension are shown through an opening in the outer plate cover. For time exposures, the lever stop 41 is pushed to the left, and, on releasing the lever 37, the time stop 53 arrests the pin 52. The spring 43 tends to return the lever 37, and the pawl 38 should now be midway between two teeth of the wheel 18, so that the pin 52 slips by the stop 53 and the shutter is held open till the lever 37 is again released. A stop 47 is provided to prevent the lever 41 from falling too low.
