Abstract: 16,257. Curnow, W. F. J. July 15. Hose. connecting to taps &c. ; disconnectible couplings; hinge and swivelling joints ; spigot-and-socket joints.-A swivelling hose-pipe coupling, which may be readily disconnected, is formed by a metal tube tapered externally fitting into a tube tapered internally, the former tube being provided with projecting tongues which engage with an annular groove on the latter tube. A tube 2 is cut away and tapered internally, while a tube 1 is correspondingly cut away and tapered externally. Springs 6, riveted to the tube 1, carry bevelled tongues 8, which are normally kept projected through slots 9 into an annular groove 4 on the tube 2, but may be retracted by depressing buttons 5. A packing-ring 11 fits into grooves 12, 13 on the rims of the tubes. The coupling is made by pushing the tube 2 over the tube 1, whereby the bevelled tongues 8 are depressed and spring back into the annular groove 4. To disconnect, the tongues are drawn out of the groove by depressing the buttons 5, when the tubes may be drawn apart.

Filed: 1909-11-30
Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 27,961. Staude, E. G. Nov. 30. Delivery apparatus.-In apparatus for counting box blanks as they are fed into the box-making machine, and for separating them into counted batches, the forcing apart of two rollers by the entering blank releases the actuating-parts, which derive their movement from an independent source of power. The upper of two rollers 15, 18, Figs, 1 and 3, is so mounted that, when lifted, it rocks the shaft 21 and arm 38 into the position shown in Fig. 2, thereby withdrawing the adjustable finger 39 from the pivoted piece 40. A shaft 25 is continuously driven while the machine is working, and carries a disk 27 fixed thereto, above which is a spring-pressed friction disk 29 with periphery recessed to receive a number of vertically movable cylindrical blocks or balls 36. Normally one of these blocks is arrested against the point 42 of the piece 40, but, upon the parts assuming the position shown in Fig. 2, the block slips over the point, and is held by the square end of a stop piece 37 fixed to the casing. Upon the rollers closing, the arms 38 move towards the vertical, and the pivoted piece lifts the block clear of the stop, whereupon the friction disk completes a rotation through the angular distance between two blocks. An upper plate attached to the friction disk carries a tooth for actuating the counter, and also a cam for operating, through the link-work 45, 46, the indenting-mechanism 8 whereby the blanks fed into the machine are separated into batches of twenty-five, as shown in Fig. 1.
