Granted: 1909-08-26
Abstract: 8983. Haddan, R., [Duplex Printing Press Co.]. April 15. [Addition to 22,861/08.] Stereotype.-Relates to apparatus for casting tubular stereotype plates for use in the rotary printing - machines described in Specifications 19,824/07 and 8590/09, and consists in modifications of the apparatus described in Specification 22,861/08. The mould or casting- box consists of a stationary semicircular drag 1, to which is pivoted a semicircular shell 3, and a cylindrical core 2 supported on rollers 2<c> running on horizontal rails on the frame 7, and counterbalanced by a weight 2<d>. The motion of the core to and from the casting position is controlled by rollers 2<f> on arms 2<e>, which engage in slots 7<b> in the frame. The core 2 is furnished with a handle 2<j>, by which it is moved, and, when in the casting position, is centred by a bolt 8 on the core, which engages recesses in the adjacent faces of the drag 1 and the shell 3. Pivoted to the frame 7 are levers 7<n>, each having formed therein an inclined cam-slot 7<a> adapted to engage studs 2b on the core and assist in moving it into or out of the drag, one of the levers having also a recess 7<p> adapted to hold the core in the open position, Fig. 1. The shell 3 is secured to a yoke 3<m> pivoted to the drag 1 and furnished with a stud 3<a>; which is adapted to be engaged by a sliding clamp 4<a> operated by an eccentric on the handle 5<a>. The matrix is secured between a rectangular bar 2<m>, secured to the core, and a slotted clamp bar 6, which is supported by studs 6<b> projecting from the bar 2<m>. The studs are formed with projections 6<e>, the inner faces of which are inclined to hold the clamp 6 in contact with the matrix. The clamp is provided with a handle 6<e>, by means of which it may be raised and moved to the dotted position, Fig. 4, entire removal being prevented by nuts 6<f>. The edges of the drag 1 and the shell 3 are recessed to accommodate the clamp 6, the studs 6b, and the handle 6<e>. The cure 2 is hollow and is cooled by a circulation of cold water passing from a flexible pipe 9 up through a pipe 9<b> to the hottest part of the mould and away through pipes 9<c>, 9<e>. By dividing up the mould, the apparatus may be used for casting parti-cylindrical plates.

Title: An Improved Machine for Cutting Abrasive Files.
Inventor: NOTCUTT WALTER PERRY
IPC: B23D73/00
Filed: 1909-06-30
Granted: 1910-02-10
Abstract: 15,321. Notcutt, W. P. June 30. Milling-machines.-Files with circular teeth are cut by a rotary and longitudinally adjustable cutter. The cutter may be provided with blades m shaped to suit the outline of the teeth and mounted in a head rotated on a shaft d. The shaft d drives through speed-reduction gear a loosely-mounted spur-wheel g<4>, which is provided with a surface g<7> and projection g<8> engaging with a roller g<9> fixed on the framework. The shaft is provided with a collar g<5> and is moved longitudinally with the spur-wheel by means of a roller h on a weighted lever h' pivoted at i. When the projection g<8> engages the roller g<9> the shaft is retracted and the lever h' raised. The end of the lever has a slot which then engages a pin on a disk k<2> mounted on the screw-shaft j<2>, so as to operate a pawl k<4> mounted on the disk to rotate a ratchet-wheel k<1> and screw j<2> for feeding the workslide j. The pivot-pin k<3> of the pawl may be adjusted so that the pawl may engage one of two ratchet wheels according to the pitch of teeth required. The screw may also be rotated by hand. When the file blank is finished, a projection o on the work slide engages projections o' on a lever n so as to bring the projection n' under a stop on the lever h' to suspend the operation of the cutter, which is held in its rearward position by a spring f. The lever n may also be moved by hand. The file blank x is mounted between screw-adjusted blocks j<4> in a laterally adjustable angle-plate j<11> on the slide, which moves on adjustable guides inclined to the face of the cutter so that only one side of the cutter acts on the blank. The centres of the teeth may be on the centie line of the file or otherwise as desired. The work-slide may move in a vertical plane, and the weighted lever may be replaced by a spring arm, means being also provided for taking-up wear.

Abstract: 1397. Abady, J., Simmance, J. F., and Yorke, W. Jan. 19. Integrating.-A liquid-meter is provided with a water-driven integrator adapted to give readings of the total quantity of water discharged over a weir of the type described in Specification 19,800/09, [Class 69 (i), Hydraulic apparatus &c.], which is so designed that the rate of discharge is proportional to the head of water. The integrator, intermittent in action, has a vessel 1 of height greater than the maximum head of water over the weir, and is provided with a siphon tube 2 and a tube 3 of small bore by means of which the vessel can be filled from the weir tank. The rate of flow can be varied by means of a cock. When the vessel overflows, the siphon is set in action and continues to act until the vessel is emptied thereby. The vessel contains a float 4, through which passes a rod 6 carrying a disk 7 at one end and attached at the other end by a cord to one arm of a double - armed lever 5 provided with a counterweight 8 on the other arm. On the upward movement of the float, the weight 8 is such as to cause the rod 6 to follow it, and at the same time causes pawl 9 on the arm 5 to pass over the teeth of the ratchet-wheel 10. The rod 6 is provided with a stop 14, whereby it is arrested by an arm of a lever 16 attached to the weir float and carrying a pencil adapted to make a record on the drum 17. The rod 6 rises a distance proportional to the head, and actuates the ratchet-wheel through the pawl 9, on the downward movement, while the vessel 1 is being emptied.
