Title: Improvements in Concrete Building Construction and Interlocking Building Blocks therefor.
Inventor: LAKE WILLIAM EDWARD
IPC: E04B2/02
Filed: 1909-01-22
Granted: 1909-05-27
Abstract: 1619. Lake, W. B., [Interlocking Stone Co.]. Jan. 22. Building-blocks, special shapes of; metal-skeleton blocks.-Concrete or other building-blocks for hollow walls or similar structures are formed on their back surfaces with tapered lugs b arranged midway between the top and bottom edges and spaced at half the length of the block apart, either equi-distant from the ends as shown in Fig. 1, or one lug in the middle and a half lug at each end as shown in Fig. 8. When the wall is erected, the lugs of the blocks on opposite faces of the wall interlock, thereby producing continuous supporting and spacing columns between the inner and outer faces of the wall. The blocks are formed with vertical holes y and are reinforced by horizontal longitudinal wires or rods m having exposed ends s and transverse wires p tied round the wires m and extending through the lugs so as to leave ex. posed ends or form loops t. When the blocks are laid in position, the exposed ends s of the wires m in adjacent b l o c k s are tied together and long rods wand short rods v connected by screwed collars r are passed through the vertical holes y of the blocks in one wall face and the loops t or tied ends of the wires p of the blocks of the other wall face. The edges of the blocks and the upper and lower surfaces of the lugs may be provided with grooves to receive metal bars to stiffen the structure. The inner blocks employed at the corners of buildings, or at those points where one wall meets another at an angle, are provided with a rectangular spacing lug 12. The hollow spaces formed in the wall may be filled with concrete, or may be used for ventilation purposes and for the conveyance of electric wires and gas and water pipes.

The magazine frame 19, Fig. 1, is provided on each side with a lever 23, which is pivoted to the frame at 32, and is pivoted at 27 to a plate 25 secured to a shaft 20. To raise the frame, a handle 22 is pushed backwards until the nose 24 of the lever 23 engages a stop, which is preferably the shaft 20. The frame is automatically locked up by a spring bolt 28, which is mounted in a socket in the lever 23 and springs into a hole 31 in the plate 25. There may be a handle 22 at each end of the shaft 20. Keyboards.-To compensate for wear between the escapement-rod 46, Fig. 7, and the camcarriage 49, this is formed with duplicate ends each having a pivot-hole 54, and the pivot 50 is arranged half-way between the top and the bottom; further, the pivot of the cam 52 is in line with the holes 54 and half-way between them.

Assembling matrices. - (1) The back-plate 33, Fig. 4, of the assembler-entrance is provided with a plate 35 of flexible sheet-metal, such as rolled brass, which is secured by screws 36 and is bent back into alinement with the bottom plate 37 of the magazine. In some cases, the two plates 33, 35 may be in one piece of the said material. The edge of the plate 35 is formed with slots in register with slots in a plate 39, which is secured to the plate 33 by screws 41 and a distance-piece 40. The usual hooked tops 42 of the ribs 34 are passed through the slots, and are secured by a rod 43 passing through perforations. (2) The assembler - belt 55 is driven directly from the main shaft instead of an intermediate shaft. In the device shown in Fig. 8, the shaft 58 is provided with fast and loose shrouded pulleys 62, adapted to receive a round belt 64, which passes over a guide-pulley 65 and is driven by a pulley 61 on the mainshaft 3.

Filed: 1910-11-09
Granted: 1911-08-10
Abstract: 26,095. Carter, W. C. Nov. 9. Spray carburettors.-Fuel is sprayed through orifices 2 in a pipe F held in place by a screw 3, which passes through a bridge-piece 31 carried by a choke-tube E. The choke-tube extends nearly to the bottom of a contracted portion C<1> of the mixing-chamber, which communicates with the inlet pipe above the throttle valve C by a tube 16, the object of which is to prevent an accumulation of fuel in the mixing-chamber when the throttle is closed. The portion C<1> is formed in one with the float chamber A containing the spherical float 18 and valve 20. Heating is effected by water in the space 25. Supplementary air is admitted by the automatic valve D carried by levers 4 hinged at 29. The valve is loaded by a spring 5, the upper end of which is attached to a pin 12 carried by an adjustable nut 11 on an arm 7. This arm can be turned, by means of a lever 9, about a shaft 8 so as to vary the inclination of the spring 5, and therefore the opening of the air-valve. At high speeds, the opening of the valve D may be resisted by a spring 15; this spring may however be replaced by means, such as an adjustable plate, for controlling the flow of air through the choke-tube E. The throttle C is provided with adjustable stops to limit its motion.

Abstract: 26,753. Watson, C. Nov. 17. Buffers; draw-gear.- The springs of a buffer or draw-gear are arranged so as to provide an increased range combined with a graduation of resistance. The two springs A, B, Fig. 1, are placed between ferrules F, G, and bear against the intermediate washers D, E, which have interpenetrating sleeve-portions, as shown more clearly in Fig. 3. In operation, after the rod C has moved through a predetermined d i stance, one of the ferrules F, G bears against the sleeve portion of one of the washers D, E, and the rate of increase of resistance is doubled. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, the central plate I is free between the stops K, L, thus presenting a further graduation of the resistance, the stages being (1) two springs in series, (2) one spring, (3) two springs in parallel; thus the increase of resistance is twice doubled.
