Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 8333. Anderson, J. April 3. Endless - chain machines. - A machine for moulding confectionery &c. comprises a series of moulds carried by endless chains n co-operating with a rotary pressing-head f fitted with a number of pressing-surfaces f<1>, which can be brought into operation successively, thus allowing the surfaces to be lubricated. The head f is carried by arms c pivoted at d, and is rotated by a sprocket-chain h<1> passing around a wheel h on the head f and a wheel h<2> on the shaft d. A crank k<2> on the main shaft l drives the chains n, through a ratchet device j, j<1>, which is connected to the wheel h<2> through gearing i, i'. The moulds A are fitted between bars n' on the chains n. A cam p on the shaft l raises the head f through levers q connected to the arms c by rods q<3> and depresses the head, to press the material in the mould A, by means of a lever q<1> connected to the levers q by a rod r fitted with a spring r<1>. The mould is held down by a frame s operated by levers t, t', similar to q, q', the frame s being formed with projections s<1> which engage with recesses in rods v connected to the levers t. The head f is held raised during its rotation by means of a stop lever r<2> engaging with a roller r<4> on the lever q. A projection r<5> on the cam p. engages with an arm r<6> of the lever r<2> and deflects it against the action of a spring r<7>. The frames s are locked to the pressing members f<1>, during rotation of the head, by means of pivoted latches x which are locked and released by a projection f<4> engaging with levers x<2>, x<3>. According to the Provisional Specification, the pressing-plungers are mounted within a rotary head carried by an oscillating lever frame, and are retained by springs, being brought down into contact with the material by means of hooks reciprocated vertically from the driving-mechanism.

Abstract: 7052. Kerr, A. March 25. Pneumatically - operated fastenings. - The closing of the door of the guard's van is arranged to move a valve which controls the admission of vacuum, compressed air. steam, &c. into pneumatic locks situated on the door frames of the railway carriages. The valve on the door a of the guard's van comprises a sliding D-block b, Fig. 4, which moves over the block b<1> having ports b<2>, b<3> connected respectively to the vacuum reservoir e and the pipe f<6>. The D-block b is mounted on a spindle, the projecting end b<6> of which comes in contact with the door when this is closed. The vacuum chamber is in communication through a non-return valve with the vacuum-brake pipe, while the pipe f<6> connects to a pipe f running above, and suitably connected between, the carriages. When the door (t is opened, the valve-block b is urged by the spring b<7> into the position in which the port b<3> is open to the atmosphere; closing of the door a puts the pipe f<6> into communication with the vacuum reservoir. Each pneumatic lock, Fig. 6, mounted opposite the carriage door g, comprises a cylinder h, connected at one end by the pipe f<1> to the pipe f, in which works a piston h<1>, of which the piston-rod h<4> is pivoted to a lever l fulcrumed at l<1> and connected at its further end to the latch-bolt m. A spring o is provided to withdraw the bolt when the cylinder is opened to the atmosphere, and to permit opening of the door while the vacuum is still maintained; a lever p is adapted to be operated by a key to move the lever l. A valve f<7> is fitted to the pipe f<6> so that any guard's van may be isolated when more than one is provided on the train. If the locks are operated by compressed air &c., the fulcrum l<1> is arranged between the piston-rod h<4> and the bolt m.
