Title: Improvements in Moulding Apparatus.
Inventor: KING CHARLES WILSON
IPC: B22C13/12
Filed: 1909-11-02
Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 25,237. King, C. W. Nov. 2. M o u l d i n g - m a - chines ; m o u l d s ; patterns ; clamping flasks. - To avoid irregularities in cast brass ferrules &c., a moulding - machine is used in which hollow patterns, after ramming with sand inside and outside, are withdrawn over pillars which support the inside parts of the mould. A frame 1, mounted on a shaft 2 rotatable in journals 3, carries a sliding plate 6 carry. ing the cylindrical patterns 7 and operated by a rack and pinion. Pillars 5 secured to the frame 1 are arranged to project through the plate 6 into the patterns 7, their upper ends being in the plane of the top of the plate 6 in its raised position as shown in Fig. 1. A drag 14 is clamped in position by clamps 16 operated by eccentrics 17, and packed with sand ; a follow-board 19 is then clamped above the drag, and the whole is inverted. On withdrawing the patterns, the pillars 5 hold the parts 20, Fig. 4, of the mould. The drag is unclamped and a cope 24 with runners &c. placed thereon, Fig. 4, for pouring. The patterns and plungers may be interchanged for others of different sizes, and the plate 6 has preferably six patterns regularly arranged thereon.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Fixing of Turbine Blades and the like.
Inventor: EYERMANN WILHELM HEINRICH
IPC: F01D5/30
Filed: 1909-11-27
Granted: 1910-04-21
Abstract: 27,654. Eyermann, W. H. Nov. 27. Blades.--The blades of a radial-flow turbine are made dovetailed in shape and are secured in corresponding grooves in the rotor or stator by hard metal keys or wedges. The space in the grooves below the blade-roots may be filled with a fluid, which, when the wedges are inserted, forces the blades outwards, as shown in Fig. 3. In place of a fluid, small springs may be used as shown in Fig. 5. In the latter construction, the wedge and the blade are bevelled at d, so that when the blade is pushed outwards into its normal position the wedge is locked. The wedge may be held by caulking the edge of the groove over it. The wedge may stand out from the stator or rotor so as to give support to the blade beyond the root.

Abstract: 4400. Abate, W. L. Feb. 22. Hand and foot operated gears; oscillating valves. -A fluid-pressure piston for operati n g the drawspindle of hollowspindle chucks, clutches, beltforks, &c., is controlled by a handoperated valve with a special arrangement o f ports. The valve chamber 24, Fig. 6, is separated from the cylinder by a web 26 and communicates with the rear of the piston by ports b, Figs. 6 and 8, and with the front by ports a. Thevalve has a series of ports c, Figs. 2 and 4, adapted to communicate through passages 25<a>, 25b with pressure supply at 25, Fig. 6, and to register with the ports a, b. Ports xa<1>, xa<2>, xb<1>, xb<2> communicate with an exhaust passage 28 and are adapted to register with the central one of each of the ports a, b. The valve stem carries a pair of arms which contact with a spring- pressed cross-bar and normally maintain the valve in its central position, in which both ends of the cylinder are connected to exhaust, thus removing the pressure from the parts to be operated after the operation is completed. The amount of oscillation of the valve is limited by a pin 41<a> in the web 26 engaging an arcshaped slot 41 in the valve.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Apparatus for Inserting Two Part Lacing Studs.
Inventor: COBLEY WILLIAM
IPC: A43D100/10

Granted: 1911-08-24
Abstract: 20,113. Cobley, W., and Bellamy, T. J. Aug. 29. Setting lacing- studs.-A machine for feeding and setting two - part lacing - studs having tubular shanks or bottoms and tubular head portions comprises a frame 1, Fig. 2, which supports two hoppers 2, 3, mounted to be oscillated through a lever 10 and connexions 23, 24 on pins 21, 22, and containing the heads and bottoms respectively. The heads are fed in an inverted position to the setting- point, the material being fed in face downwards. Lacing-studs, feeding.-The stud parts fall through openings in false bottoms in the hoppers, and are conveyed by raceways 6, 7 each of which has an undercut groove 25 to a clinching-bar 4 and anvil 5. The bottoms 18 of the studs pass down the raceway 7 with their flanges located in the undercut portion, and their stems 17 projecting through the groove 25; the heads pass down the raceway 6 in a similar manner with their shanks 19 projecting. An adjustable plate 26 is placed over the upper flared end 27 of the raceway to prevent the heads from changing their disposition. When the lowermost head reaches the anvil 5, it passes partly under an overhanging plate 29, Fig. 5, which alines it and prevents the accumulation of heads from running out. The raceway 6 is pivoted at 21, and is held up to the anvil by a spring. The raceway 7 has a spring 31 to prevent the bottoms from running out, and to hold the endmost bottom part over the lowest inverted head and under a pin 11 in the clinching-bar 4. Setting-mechanism.-The upper portion of the pin 11, Fig. 4, is split at 13 to engage frictionally the sides of the hole 14 in the bar 4, in which the pin is retained by shoulders 15<a> formed in the clinching abutment 15. The bar 4, mounted in bearings 8, is normally held raised by a spring 9 and is actuated by the lever 10 connected with some suitable form of treadle &c. As the bar 4 descends, a cam-surface 35 thereon acts against a roller 36 on the raceway 7 to displace it. The endmost bottom thus freed is carried down and clinched by the bar 4, being guided on the pin 11 so that it enters the hollow neck 19 of the lowermost head portion.

Abstract: 2167. Trist, A. R. Jan. 27. Tune-sheets; actions. -A tune-sheet for playing simultaneously several pianos or several manuals of an organ comprises two or more insulated conducting- layers b, e, Fig. 1, with note slots l, j, Fig. 3, which expose one or other layer. In addition, there may be through slots n controlling pneumatic actions for a third instrument. The trackerbrush o, Fig. 3, for each note is multipled to the actions r, s of the different instruments, and the common returns from the batteries m<1>, k<1> are connected to brushes p, q, which bear on the layers b, e through marginal apertures b<1>, e<1>. To ensure continuous connexion, the brushes p, q have sufficient span to bear on two apertures at a time. To diminish leakage and prevent short-circuiting by marginal tears, the layers b, e are sectionalized by air-gaps c, f, i, i<1> which may be produced by fusion by means of an electric stylus. Burrs in the conducting-layers round the note-slot edges are burnt out by passing the double layers of conducting and insulating material under a brush in a high-voltage circuit, the other terminal of which is connected by marginal brushes to the conducting-layers. This sets back the edges of the conducting-sheets round the slots as shown in Fig. 5.
