Granted: 1903-10-13
Abstract: 22,266. Johnson, G. W., [Moenus Machine Works]. Oct. 13. Nailing. -Relates to nailing-machines especially intended for hob-nailing boots and shoes. The nails are fed from a hopper through the channel A, Figs. 1 and 3, and taken singly into the recesses b of the rotating disc B, which is rotated by a pawl and ratchet d, b' to deliver the nails successively into the extension A<2> of the feed channel, and so into the recess f Fig. 6, formed between the gripping jaws f. A spring-controlled lever E bears on the disc B and acts as a brake to prevent overrunning, while it also serves to prevent thicker or irregular nails from being jammed. A second spring- controlled lever C, pivoted on the lever E, permits one nail only to pass into each recess of the disc B. The jaws f are mounted on guide bars i, Fig. 9, on a vertical slide I, on which they are secured by a cover-plate j, the bars being normally held together by springs g, f<4>, while the slide is normally held in its upper position by the spring i<4>. The jaws are opened to receive each nail from the channel A, and also to permit the nail to be driven by the hammer H, by means of an eccentric g, which works within the slot f<3>, Fig. 4, in the jaws, and is actuated by the lever G and rod G<2> from the cam G<3>, Fig. 1, on the hammeroperating spindle. The hammer is actuated by the crank k, through the sliding block k<3> and the slotted rod k<4>, to force the point of the nail into the work, after which the incline h on the hammer releases the driver M, which is then forced down by its spring m on the hammer to drive the nail.

Title: Improvements in Processes for Making Pigments.
Inventor: ARMBRUSTER WILLIAM JOSEPH
Filed: 1903-06-20
Granted: 1903-07-23
Abstract: 13,812. Armbruster, W. J., and Morton, J. June 20. Pigments.-A pigment, composed of zinc hydrate and barium carbonate, is prepared by precipitating solutions of a zinc salt and a barium salt with an alkaline hydrate and an alkaline carbonate respectively, washing the resulting precipitates, thoroughly mixing the same, and drying the mixture. The zinc hydrate may be converted into zinc oxide by calcination. The chloride, acetate, or nitrate. of zinc or barium may be used, but, in practice, it is preferred to use zinc sulphate and barium sulphide. When sodium hydrate and sodium carbonate are employed as precipitants, sodium sulphate and sodium sulphide are then obtained as useful bye-products. Any zinc hydrate may be removed from the solution of sodium sulphate by the careful addition of sodium sulphide. Potassium and ammonium compounds may be substituted for sodium compounds, and strontium compounds for barium compounds.

Granted: 1905-07-20
Abstract: 19,415. Cherry, T. W. F. Sept. 8. Gas engines.- The engine is designed for marine purposes, is doubleacting and reversing, and works on a four-stroke cycle; it is described as having four cylinders, two of which are worked by compressed air at starting. The valve gear for controlling the engine forms an important feature of the invention, and is applicable to engines with one or any number of cylinders. Valve gear ; starting; reversing.-The exhaust valves a, p are worked by cams on the shaft g through curved links and rods c, h. When the rod c is vertical only the movement of the cam f is imparted to the valve a, but when both rods c, h are equally inclined, the valve receives motion from both cams f, k and is consequently opened every revolution of the crank shaft 30. Or, the cam k may be double and its rod h brought into a vertical position to work the valve a. The admission valves t are worked through links wand single cams u, the rods x serving merely as guidelinks. For distributing the compressed-air at starting to both ends of the cylinders, valves, shown detached, are worked from the shaft v through link-motion 10, 11, 12. The air is admitted to the cylinder through valves 19, 23. Two of the four cylinders are fitted with air valve gear and are successively charged to work by internal combustion as the speed increases. The cam shafts g, v are adjusted relatively to the wheels 32 for reversing by epicyclic gearing 34 ... 38, Fig. 7, which is worked by a hand-wheel. Cylinders.-The cylinder jackets are made of sheet metal and are united at the centre by a ring.

Abstract: 22,070. Spirito, A. di, and Palanca, E. Oct. 13. Lathes.-In automatic lathes for turning wood and other screws, nails, pivots, &c., a blank is taken from a revolving table 46 by a rocking carrier 37 and delivered to a tongue 36 on an arm 35, which transfers the blank to the chuck 1. The Figures show a lathe arranged for turning woodscrews. The blank is supported by a rest 31, pointed by a tool 58, and threaded by a tool 22. The spindle, continuously driven at 2, is geared through wheels 3, 6 and a back-shaft to a shaft 7 geared through wheels 8, 12 and a shaft 10 to a shaft 13. An eccentric 14 operates a cross-slide 15 provided with an incline 17 which reciprocates a rod 20 connected to a rock-shaft 21 carrying the screwing-tool 22. The shaft 21 is oscillated by a lever 77 bearing against a pin 75 carried by a pivoted lever, which is actuated by a pin 72 oscillated from a cam 64 having an eccentric notched periphery, so that, after each traverse, the tool 22 is rocked back away from the work for the return and is then fed in to take a further cut. The tool 58 is mounted in a pivoted lever actuated from an incline 59 on a cam 38. The steady rest 31, which also serves to centre the blank, is brought into action by a wedge 30 on a bar 27 reciprocated by an incline 24 on the wheel 12 and connected to a rod 29 which actuates the jaws of the chuck in the ordinary manner. The table 46 is rotated through spur and bevel gearing from the shaft 13, and is provided with a rim against which the blanks are centrifugally pressed. The carrier 37 consists of a pair of side rails 48 and top rails 51. The rails 48 are pointed at the receiving-end and are provided at the delivery end with a spring stop 55 which retains the blanks until taken by the tongue 36. The carrier is rocked by linkage operated by a finger 40 resting on the cam 38, and the arm 35 by a finger 33 resting on a cam 32. Springs are fitted to the cam and like operated parts to maintain contact on the return movements, and the various intermediate parts are made adjustable according to the size and character of blank to be treated.
