Abstract: 4524. Adams' Pressure Tool Co., r. E., and Adams, F. E. Feb. 10, 1912. Seaming.-The assembled parts of a circular or non-circular can are placed between rotating chucks, one of which can be moved axially to clamp them, and both ends are seamed on simultaneously. Each chuck 1 has associated with it a seaming-roller 7 on a lever 6 and a bowl 4 on a lever 5, the bowl bearing on a cam 2 on the chuck spindle and transmitting its movement to the roller 7 through the link 56. The roller 7 is advanced to the work, as described in Specification 3362/12, by means of a cam 11 which moves the lever 9, pivoted at 10, and to which the lever 5 is pivoted, away from the lever 6. During the two periods in which the roller 7 is retired from the work, it is moved axially to bring roughing and finishing tool grooves into action, by means of a cam 34, levers 38, 39, and spindle 12. As described in Specification 18,158/13, the left-hand chuck 1, Fig. 1, together with its lever &c., is carried by a plate 35, which can be moved by a treadle 17, link 40, levers 55, 57, and spring 58 to clamp the work. In the present machine, this movement of the treadle from the position shown in broken lines in Fig. 2 also starts the operation of the machine by means of a projection 33, which lifts a rod 18, thereby disconnecting its projection 20 from the lever 19 and allowing it to move to the left under the action of a weight 27 to press the jockey-pulley 24 against the belt 25 and withdraw the brake 31 from the wheel 30, which thus rotates the shafts 14, 3, 37, the last being rotated at a reduced speed. The cam 26 in its rotation allows the lever 19 to move under the action of a spring into the position shown in full lines, and then returns it to its normal position, carrying the rod 18 by means of its projection 20 and thus stopping the machine. If desired to start the machine automatically, the constantly rotating shaft 13 is caused to drive the shaft 49, so that the cam 48 acts on a lever 63 which engages a projection on the rod 32 and raises it. The rod 32 is released from the lever 63, so as to allow the stop-motion to act, by a tappet 52.

Relates to drums adapted to receive two banks of tubes, and consists in curving the two sides of the tube-plate from different centres and forming in each curved part a series of flat strips to receive the banks of tubes. Instead of being flat, the strips may be curved transversely. Figs. 1 and 2 show one arrangement. The two sides A of the tubeplate are curved to the same radius, the centres being on opposite sides of the axis. The strips B, each formed to receive one or more rows of tubes, are pressed out from the curved sides A and meet at an angle in the central portion A<1>, which may be plain or corrugated, or curved inwardly or outwardly. The two series of strips may be staggered relatively to one another, the strips on one side being tangential to the curve on the other, as shown in Fig. 10. Instead of being continuous, the strips may be stepped as shown in Fig. 12. In a further modification, the strips are arranged in pairs, as shown in Fig. 18, with the corrugations between the pairs deeper than those between the strips of each pair, and preferably by a space greater than the diameter of the tubes. The ends of the tubes C where they enter the tube-plates may be reduced in diameter.

Abstract: 21,602. James, W. M. Oct. 27. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrangement of; steering.-The aeroplane is provided with a number of supporting - planes arranged symmetrically along the body fore and aft of a central pair of planes. The normal dihedral angle of the pairs of planes increases successively from zero at the central pair to a maximum at the end pairs of planes. The dihedral angle of one or more pairs of planes at each end of the machine may be adjusted, and the controlling-cords are arranged so that, as the dihedral angle of one pair is increased, that of the corresponding pair at the other end of the machine is decreased. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 8, three pairs 40, 41, 42 of fixed planes and four pairs 43, 44, 45, 46 of planes adjustable about axes parallel to the line of flight are arranged on the body 1 of the machine. The planes of each adjustable pair are connected together by brace wires 11, 12, Fig. 4, attached to the upper side of one plane and to the lower side of the opposite plane, so that the planes move up and down simultaneously. The control wires connect the planes 43, 44 to the planes 46, 45 respectively, so that as the dihedral angle of the planes 43, 44 at the front of the machine is increased for descending, that of the planes 46, 45 is correspondingly reduced. The control wires attached to the upper side of each plane are guided over pulleys in pylons p and pass over the operating-pinions 53, 55, 66, 67, Fig. 11, and those attached to the lower side of each plane pass under the pinions. Chains 73 are inserted in the wires to engage with the teeth of pinions. The pinions are secured to a shaft 72 actuated by a hand lever or wheel, and the pinions 66, 67 are smaller than the pinions 53, 55, so that the movement of the planes 44, 45 is less than that of the planes 43, 46. The control gear is arranged so that the planes cannot be lowered farther than the horizontal position. When the hand-lever is uncontrolled, the pressures on the corresponding pairs of adjustable planes balance one another. Auxiliary supporting-planes 86, 87 may be arranged between the fixed planes to facilitate starting. The planes are raised into a vertical position and stowed in recesses within the body during flight.
