Granted: 1909-06-10
Abstract: 3139. Allison, C. A., [Ceramic Machinery Co.]. Feb. 9. Coating-machines.-Relates to a machine for coating tiles. bricks, &c. The tiles are placed on a receiving-apron 1, and are carried forwards over coating-rollers 2, 3 and a finishing-roller 7 of the loose eccentric foraminous shell type on to an apron 9 of a sufficient length to allow the tiles to dry; they are then passed over mottling-rollers 10, 11 of the ordinary and loose eccentric foraminous shell type respectively, and are deposited on a discharge apron 15. The coating-rollers 2, 3 dip into a vat 4 containing the coating - material, which is fed through an opening 5 and is kept at a constant level by an adjustable end gate 6, and the finishing-roller 7 dips into the coating-material overflowing the end gate. After leaving the roller 7, the tiles are subjected to the action of an air blast from a pipe 8 to blow away surplus coating-material. The mottling-rollers dip into a tank 12 containing coating - material fed through an opening 13 and kept at a constant level by an end gate 14. The end gate 6 may be raised so that the level of the coating- material is above the tops of the rollers 2, 3, and the tiles are then coated by direct contact with the liquid.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Compounds containing Silicon and Nitrogen.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
IPC: C01B21/068
Filed: 1909-07-05
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 15,641. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. July 5. Silicides; nitrides. -Compounds containing silicon and nitrogen are prepared by heating silica and carbon in an atmosphere of nitrogen and in the presence of a metal or metal compound, such as an oxide, hydroxide, or salt. The process may be carried out in an ordinary furnace, or an electric furnace may be used. Naturallyoccurring bodies containing silica and a metal compound may be used, for example quartz containing lime, alumina, or iron oxide, or silicates such as aluminium silicate. If coal containing a metal compound or peat is used as the source of carbon, these may supply the metal compound necessary for the reaction. If a metal capable of forming a nitride should be present, a nitride of this metal will also be formed. In examples, the following bodies or mixtures are heated in the presence of nitrogen, quartz, charcoal, and carbonate of sodium, potassium, calcium, strontium, barium, or magnesium, or an oxide of magnesium; quartz, soot or iron powder, or iron, chromium, or nickel oxide, or iron carbide; manganese oxide, feldspar, and charcoal; anthracite, calcium fluoride, chloride, or sulphate, and cerium oxide or compounds of vanadium, molybdenum, lanthanum, beryllium, uranium, or tungsten; charcoal, ground Rhine pebbles, or infusorial earth containing metallic salts; China-clay and soot; ground granite or fuller's earth and anthracite; white sand, coal, and chrome ironstone or titanium ironstone (or peat may be used in place of the ironstone and' coal); porphyry, quartz sand, and coke.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Box Making Machines.
Inventor: PARKER GEORGE DAVID
IPC: B27M3/34
Filed: 1909-09-14
Granted: 1910-09-01
Abstract: 21,013. Parker, G. D. Sept. 14. Feeding sheets in box-making machines. The apparatus comprises mechanism for feeding box sides and ends to holding-mechanism, which is then raised above its original position, independent mechanism to hold the raised sides and ends and permit the first bolding-mechanism to return to its initial position, mechanism for nailing the sides and ends together, and mechanism for feeding and nailing bottoms to the nailed sides and ends. The side and end pieces are placed in four adjustable hoppers F<3> F<4>, Fig. 3, disposed around a central space, and are fed forwards by fingers I<5> to a vertically-reciprocating holder H. Above each hopper is a fixed guide-rod I serrated at I' and grooved on the opposite side to receive a serrated sliding bar I<2>, Fig. 11, fixed to a collar I<3>, which can slide on the bar I but is adjustably secured to a bar I<4> actuated at intervals from the nailing- mechanism. The sleeves of the fingers I<5> contain pawls I<6>, I<7> engaging the teeth on the rods I<1>, I<2>. When the rod I<4> is pushed outwards, the spring I<8> is compressed, and when it is released the finger I<5> is urged forwards to feed forwards the stock in the hoppers to the holder H, which consists of a frame carrying pivoted pawls engaging the lower edges of the pieces in the hoppers. The pawls are adjustable on the frame to enable boxes of different sizes to be formed. The box bottom consists of two boards taken from hoppers, slightly above the plane of the incomplete box, by sliding pawls actuated from cams so shaped that one acts slightly in advance of the other, so that, if either board be too wide, the second pushes back the first the required extent to prevent breakages.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Inserting Fasteners of Metal or Wire in Leather Goods and the like.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
IPC: A43D69/04

Granted: 1909-12-28
Abstract: 28,927. Boult, A.. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Sept. 28, 1908. Slugging. - High speed fastener-inserting machines for leather and the like, particularly for use in the manufacture of boots and shoes, are provided with means controlled by the change of contour at the end of the work for automatically stopping the insertion of fasteners at a predetermined distance from the end of the work, and with an end-gauge which acts in conjunction with the usual edge-gauge to ensure a two-dimensional positioning of the work with regard to the first fastener to be inserted, but which is withdrawn from the path of the work when the insertion of fasteners commences. The invention is particularly applicable to the heel-slugging machine described in Specifications 20,322/08, 28,925/09, and 28,926/09. The positioning of the work is effected by an edgegauge 350 and a slidable and spring-controlled end-gauge 352, which, before the insertion of fasteners is started, occupies the position shown in Fig. 5, and forms a positioning-stop for the work. The gauge 352 is coupled by a series of connexions to a rod forming part of the awlcontrolling mechanism, which is described in Specification 28,925/09; when the insertion cf fasteners is started, this rod causes the gauge 352 to be withdrawn from the path of the work. The means for automatically stopping the insertion of fasteners comprises a spring-pressed edge-feeler 380, which is coupled-up to the mechanism controlling the clutch which throws the main cam disk into and out of operation, as described in Specification 20,322/08. When the work is placed in the machine, it presses back this feeler, as shown in Fig. 5, but when, in the movement of the work under the fastener-inserting mechanism, the work is brought into the position shown in Fig. 6, the feeler slips over the end of the work, and breaks the clutch mechanism to stop the insertion of fasteners. The feeler mechanism is arranged so that small changes in curvature in the contour of the work near its end are insufficient to cause the feeler to break the clutch connexions. The connexions between the feeler and the clutch connexions can also be disengaged to prevent any movement of the feeler from affecting the fastenerinserting mechanism, and to enable the feeler always to occupy the position shown in Fig. 6, in which position it can be used as an endgauge, as in quarter slugging.
