Abstract: 4128. Auchu, H. Feb. 24. Moulding explosives.-Relates to a machine for drawing explosive gelatine into ropes, and consists mainly in the provision at various parts of the operating- mechanism of friction clutches that will slip when abnormal resistance is encountered ; in means for regulating the speed of certain parts of the mechanism, and for cooling the packing-screw ; and in arranging various parts so that they can easily be got at or dismounted. Figs. 1, 2, and 4 illustrate one form of construction. The gelatine is supplied to a hopper 22, and is fed therefrom by rotating blades 31 to a packing- screw 4, which forces it out through a nozzle 8 of the required size. The screw 4 is secured at 6 to a shaft 3, and a rubber or paper washer 6<1> is inserted. This screw is made hollow and is kept cool by a current of water fed from pipe 16<x> through one slip-ring 14<a>, pipes 7<x>, 12<x>, a hollow 9<x>, and another slip-ring 14<a>, and out by a pipe 16a which drips into a funnel 21<a> at which an indication can be obtained of the flow of the water. The screw 4 is adjusted in longitudinal position by means of a screw 11, and is limited in the inward direction by a collar 10 on the shaft 3 and a bracket 2. The shaft may conveniently be driven from a countershaft by a belt gear 15. A friction clutch is provided for the pulley 16, and is adapted to be thrown in and out by means of a lever 18 to start or stop the whole machine. The pulley 14 is loose on the shaft 3 and is in frictional engagement with a cone 14<a> keyed to the shaft. The grip is regulated by a screw device 14<e>. The feeder shaft 27 is driven by means of friction pulleys 34, 39 and the belt gear 42. The speed of this shaft can be regulated by adjusting the position of the pinion 39 by means of a hand-screw 41<a>. The bearings 36 can be adjusted in vertical and horizontal directions by means of four screws 36<a>. As shown in Fig 8, the packing-screw 4 and shaft 3 may be mounted on a carriage 74 adapted to slide on guides 72, and a screw 75 is provided for its actuation ; a wooden-headed stop 78 is then preferably provided, also a tray 79 beneath the screw 4 in its outward position. Similar means may be provided for raising the feeder shaft and its appurtenances bodily. In the modification shown in Fig. 18, the feeder and the packing-screw are rigidly connected together. A curved guideblock 65 turns the outcoming moulded rope to an horizontal direction A. [Reference has been directed under Section 7 of Patents &c. Act, 1907, to Specification No. 2651, A.D. 1901.]

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machinery for Cutting Coal
Inventor: NEUKIRCH HUBERT VALENTIN
Filed: 1908-05-20
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 10,946. Neukirch, H. V., and Freytag, E. E. May 20. Undercutting &c.-A coal-cutting machine comprises one or more endless ropes carrying cutting- tools driven continuously or reciprocated, means for automatically regulating the tension of the rope, and means for cutting-off the power and holding the machine firm in the event of a cutter-rope breaking. The machine comprises a wheeled frame 8 carrying an electric or compressed-air motor 11, which drives a pulley 9 formed with two or more grooves and serving as the driving-pulley for the cutter-rope. The cutter-rope is passed around a guide-pulley 17 with one less groove than the pulley 9, and around the grooves of the pulley 9 and the pillar to be cut. In some cases more than one cutter-rope may be used. The tensioning-device is carried on a frame 27 pivoted at 28 to the machine and comprises a chain 25 passing over a sprocketwheel 24, around a pulley fixed at a distance, and thence back to the frame 27, springs 26 being interposed. The sprocket-wheel 24 is connected to ratchet-wheels 35 and levers 32 which are oscillated by an eccentric from the shaft 10. The oscillation of the levers 32 causes the ratchet-wheels 35 to rotate in the direction of the arrow 29, the amount of such rotation, and consequently the tension, being regulated by caps 43 partially covering the ratchet. The ends 39 of the springs 26 are connected through levers 40, 41 to the caps 43, so that the more the springs are extended the more the ratchets are covered. The angle between the rods 40, 41 is adjustable by means of a hand-wheel 53. In the event of a cutter-rope breaking, rods 60 connected by chains 61 to the tensioning-apparatus are caused to enter the ground and hold the machine firm, while the motor is prevented from running away by cut-outs or valves which may be connected with the rods 60. The cutters may consist of sleeves fixed to the rope and formed rough like a file, or with holes through which cutting-points project ; or stamped parts of the sleeves may be bent outwards ; or flat cutters having teeth on one or both edges may be embedded in or attached to the rope.

Title: Improvements in Drawing Hollow Glass Bodies.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1908-06-18
Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 13,056. Imray, O., [Window Glass Machine Co.]. June 18. Drawing; shearing; delivering molten metal.-In drawing glass cylinders for making window glass, the blowpipe, carrying the bait at its lower end, is placed in a carriage 8 which is moved vertically in guides 7 by a chain 27 passing over pulleys 26, 41,42 and over a sprocket-wheel 29 driven by a motor. The blowpipe telescopes within a fixed tube 15 connected with an air-compressor which supplies air to the interior of the cylinder as usual during drawing. When the cylinder has reached the required length, it is cut off at the bottom by a pair of shears, Fig. 12, operated by compressed air. The device is moved forward bodily so that the cylinder is pierced by a central blade 77, the scissor blades 76 being then closed. During the drawing, the lower part of the chain 27 is seized by a gripper on a carriage 51 which is drawn by this means up an inclined track 44. The cylinder is then placed upon supports, with which the carriage 51 is fitted, and allowed to run down the track 44 by gravity, the blowpipe carriage 8 descending simultaneously ready for the next operation. The cylinder is raised clear of the carriage 51 by a capping-off horse consisting of a number of forked rods 56 which are raised simultaneously by a hand-lever 62. In a modification, an arrangement of ropes and pulleys is used in place of the track 44, chain 27, and carriage 51. The height of the drawing-pot 4 is adjusted by compressed-air gear 3. Molten glass is prevented from adhering to the bottom of the drawing-pots while they are being dipped in the melting-tank by cold steel shields, which are placed on the bottoms of the pots prior to dipping and are removed immediately afterwards.

Patent GB-190821390-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and connected with Weighing Machines.
Filed: 1908-10-09
Granted: 1909-08-26
Abstract: 21,390. Crompton & Co., and Williams, A. Oct. 9. Electric weighi n g - apparatus ; steelyard apparatus.-The poises b, c of a steelyard for a weighing- machine are adjusted automatically by electromagnets v, w in connexion with contacts 13, 20. Starting with the poises in their zero positions, the effect of the load is to energize the electro-magnet v, which thereupon attracts an armature t, and this, by operating a switch 1, breaks the current and is returned to its normal position by a spring x. The movement is then repeated, and at each oscillation a pawl p rotates a ratchetwheel n and drum l. A cord h on the drum then slides the poise c along the main poise b until the two poises are engaged by a pin d, whereupon the main poise is also drawn along the steelyard. The steelyard presently sinks on to the contacts 15, 16, thus de-energizing the electro-magnet v and energizing the electro-magnet w, whereupon mechanism similar to that already described draws back the poise c until equilibrium is established. For indicating the weight at a distance, each electro-magnet v, w is arranged in series with an electro-magnet placed at the desired indicating-station, and these additional electro-magnets operate ratchet-wheels connected to an indicating-dial. When the steelyard carries two independent poises, each poise is operated by a separate pair of electro-magnets, and the lighter poise is adapted at each end of its traverse to close the circuit of the electro-magnets operating the larger poise. The circuits of the electro-magnets v, w may, instead of being controlled by the movement of the beam, be controlled by hand by means of a push-button or other switch.

Abstract: 20,530. Vessey, E. A. Sept. 8. Aerial machines without aerostats; planes, arrangement and construction of. -Annular sustaining- surfaces for aerial machines are constructed so that the upper surface of the sustainers, both above and below the horizontal diameter, is convex, and part of the under surfaces is concave. The machine is supported by two or more annular surfaces o, p, each constructed of a front and rear ring a, b connected together by rods or trusses shaped to give the required curve to the supporting-surface. The bars in each quadrant of the circle vary from a concavo-convex shape shown at 1, Fig. 4, which is placed at the ends of the vertical diameter, to a double-convex shape shown at 7 which is placed at the extremities of an horizontal diameter. The upper surface of the bars is the same in each of the bars 1 to 7, but the under surface changes from concave to convex being flat at about thirty degrees from the horizontal. Instead of bars, trusses of the same shape may be employed to support the fabric or covering of the sustainer. The trusses are formed of ribs c, d, Fig. 5, inserted at their front end in grooves in the ring a and at their rear end are fitted into a socket f secured to the ring b. Spacing-blocks g are placed between the ribs, and are provided with lateral extensions to which are secured sockets j, in which are secured the ends of tie-bars h connecting the various ribs. The sockets are provided with an angle portion riveted to the ribs c, d. The sustainers are supported on an axle k, which may be hinged so that the sustainers can be moved to lie in the longitudinal axis of the machine, or the sustainers may be made detachable. Steering.-One or more of the sustainers o, p may be adjusted about the axle k to vary the angle of incidence, and the two may be connected to move simultaneously in the same sense or oppositely. One or more of the sustainers may be movable laterally for steering by means of a toothed wheel n, Fig. 1, which engages a rack m on the axle k.
