Patent GB-190125279-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to Printing Machines.
Filed: 1901-12-11
Granted: 1902-01-30
Abstract: 25,279. Lake, H. H., [Cottrell & Sons Co., C. B.]. Dec. 11. Delivery apparatus; cylinder machines with plane printing- surfaces.- Relates to delivery apparatus for delivering the sheets with the printed sides either up or down, as desired. Fig. 1 shows a tworevolution cylinder machine, having a combined fly and endless-chain gripper delivery apparatus. The sheets are switched from the impression cylinder A and pass, printed side up, on to tapes d driven by gearing f, i, &c. from the cylinder shaft g. Flyer fingers o enter between the tapes d from a shaft I, which is oscillated by a segment J, rack p, and lever K connected to a lever L operated by a spring and cam H. The flyer fingers work between a pair of endless chains M carried by sprocketwheels N, N<1> and guided by straight guides P. The rear sprocket-wheels N are driven by spur gears from a shaft S' geared to a shaft u driven by gearing u<2>, u<4> from a wheel T. The wheel T is driven from the cam shaft G by gears U, T<1>, which are preferably eccentric, so that the chains may be driven at slower speed at the time their grippers are opened to drop the sheet on to the delivery table R. The chains M carry a set of grippers, the stationary jaws of which are provided with forked projections which act as sheet stops for the sheets on the tapes d. The flyer fingers o are attached to a bar clamped on the shaft I, so that the bar and fingers can be readily removed. For delivering the sheets printed side down by the flyers o, the grippers on the chains M are removed or the chains rendered stationary by removing the gears T, T'. The sheet passes along the tapes d to adjustable stops on the flyer fingers o, and the flyers o then turn the sheet over or to the board R. For delivering printed side up, the flyers o are removed, and the sheets are delivered by the grippers on the chains M, the grippers being opened to take and release the sheets by fixed cams. The tape roller b of the tapes d is driven trough a clutch, operated by a cam to arrest the movement of the tapes at the moment the sheet reaches the stops on the grippers. If desired, the flyers o may be left on, when delivering by the chain grippers, and locked in the position shown in Fig. 1 by a hook on the framing engaging with the lever K.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Automatic Couplings for Railway Carriages.
Inventor: WILLISON JOHN
Filed: 1901-12-11
Granted: 1902-11-13
Abstract: 25,283. Willison, J. Dec. 11. Couplings, automatic; buffers ; draw-gear. -In couplings of the Janney type, the knuckles are held together without play, and the heads are centered after deflection, while during buffing action the drum spring assists the buffer spring. In a jab in each front follower b is a piece d, which passes through and projects beyond the coupling-head and, when two vehicles are coupled, the buffer springs a act on the pieces d, and play is prevented. The rear follower c bears against an arm e having a forked end f, which bears against the rear side of the stop g on the draw-bar h, while the coupling is attached to the yoke i having a hollow block which bears against a lever k having a forked end l, which bears against the front side of the stop g. Deflection of the yoke i to either side compresses the spring a, which returns it to the central position. When the coupling is in tension, the stop g is pushed back, and the draw-spring, not shown, is compressed, whereas a buffing stress compresses the spring a and the upper arm of the lever e draws forward the draw-bar, compressing its spring, which is arranged to he compressed whether the draw-bar is pressed or pulled.

Abstract: 27,122. Jones, H. A. Dec. 9. Blast furnaces; direct processes of obtaining.-A blast furnace, having a crucible E, boshes H, and a cylindrical shaft K, is provided with a series of orereducing retorts V, of the kind described in Specification No. 18,259, A.D. 1896. The retorts are built in equidistant recesses in the walls of the furnace, and each comprises a vertical series of zig-zag ore chambers 8, alternating with zig-zag flues 9. The flues and chambers are heated by means of burners 11, and, if desired, burners 21. Sight-holes 16 are arranged in the flues. Granular iron ore and carbon are supplied to the retorts from hoppers P, having valves 12 for regulating the discharge, and the reduced ore is passed through hoppers Q, S, in succession, into the upper part of the fusion zone of the blast furnace. The hoppers Q, S have valves 13, 15 respectively, for regulating the discharge, such valves being controlled from an annular platform R by means of handles. The discharge of material from the hoppers S can be facilitated by the use of tools inserted in tubular extensions S<1> of the hoppers. Chimneys 0 communicate with the flues 9 through flues 10 ; the carbonic oxide and other gases evolved during the reduction of the ore may be withdrawn through pipes 18.

Abstract: 5362. Babcock & Wilcox, and McLaren, R. A. March 7. Mechanical stoking ; doors ; grates.-Relates to boiler and other furnaces having mechanical chaingrate stokers of the kind described in Specification No. 27,420, A.D. 1898. Fig. 1 shows a fuel hopper A, having a contracted neck portion A' with a swinging shutter or fuel guide C, which may be operated by an external handle to intercept the fuel when the furnace is to be fired by hand. For operating the fire-door D, which slides in vertical guides D', it is connected by links F<5> to arms F<4> on opposite ends of a cross-shaft F<3>. One of these arms is connected to another arm at right-angles (not shown), which carries pins engaging slots in a nut engaging an operating-screw mounted in fixed bearings and carrying a handle. A folding door of the kind described in the prior Specification may be similarly operated. The door has a detachable top part D<3> to allow the firebrick D' to be renewed ; this part has a depending flange d<2>, and is secured by bolts and nuts d to the main casting, to which is also secured by bolts and flanges d' a detachable base with a supporting-flange d'. The supporting- frame G', Fig. 7, of the chain grate G has flanged upper edges, which retain the fuel on the grate, and which may consist of a series of detachable plates G<2> secured to the web of the frame by bolts g. The ash-plate H, Fig. 8, has a renewable steel nose H' secured in place by a tongue-and-groove or like connection. A balanced ash-door I is provided ; two of these may be connected together by a central rock-shaft and have side shafts, one of which carries an external handle. Each door consists of two end plates carrying the balance weights, which normally keep the door closed, and connected by segmental plates P. To prevent breakage of the chain grate, the operating ratchet-wheel rides loose on the feed-shaft, which it drives through a ballclutch device, one member of which consists of a spring-pressed disc connected to the shaft by a feather. The balls engage recesses in this disc and the ratchet-wheel. The flanged wheels which run on rails and support the carriage G, have side flanges with apertures to receive a hand spike or lever when it is desired to withdraw the carriage from the furnace.

Title: Improvements relating to Blowing Engines or Compressors
Filed: 1903-06-08
Granted: 1903-07-30
Abstract: 12,857. Lake, H. H., [Southwark Foundry and Machine Co.]. June 8. Compressing.-In a blowing-engine or comprossor, the delivery and admission valves, U, D respectively, at each end of the compressing-cylinder are closed, and the latter are also opened, by coustantly-rotating cams G<1>, G<2>, G<3> on a shaft G moving in a fixed relation to the movements of the compressing-piston. The delivery valve C is seated with its back towards the receiver A<2> and is provided with a valve-actuating cylinder E, the front (right in Fig. 2) of which is connected through a conduit, having a non-return and choke valve, with the compressing-cylinder A. This valve opens to admit air to the cylinder E, but closes when the pressure in the cylinder A falls, as when the piston passes the port of the conduit. When the pressure in the compressing-cylinder is substantially equal to that in the receiver, the pressure on the piston D' is sufficient to open the valve C, and the cam G<1> is so disposed as to allow free movement of the piston at this moment. The impact is taken on the rear head of the cylinder E, and the contained air, which serves as a cushion, gradually escapes through a choke passage E<6>.
