Title: Improvements in Sand Moulding Machines.
Inventor: PHILLIPS ALFRED
Filed: 1911-02-01
Granted: 1912-02-01
Abstract: 2544. Phillips, A. Feb. 1. Moulding - machines. - Combined packing and drawing moulding-machines, of the type in which a pattern plate carries a flask on each side, have a special arrangement of flasks and pattern plates and are arranged to pack equally in each flask by apparatus which avoids waste of power. The lower flask is mounted on a fixed support B<1>, Fig. 1. Cross-heads e, e<1> slidable on the columns Dare connected by bars E and support the pattern plate C pivotally mounted to be swung laterally at c. The upper box A is suspended at j<6> and is raised by a handle J<1> and retained in the raised position by a spring catch j<7>. In this position the cross-heads e, e' raise the pattern plate as shown in Fig. 1. The box A is balanced by a weight N and spring r'. The upper head F is brought into position for ramming by similar flexible connexions and a handle J, is balanced by a weighted lever, and is locked to the pressure-applying sleeve F<2> when in the lowered position by a spring catch f. Pressure is applied to the sleeve F<2> by a bifurcated lever P engaging the sleeve by surfaces p, and to the lower head H by a lever P<1>. To secure equal packing, the ends of the levers P, P<1> may be connected to a ram and cylinder respectively, or as shown to points on opposite sides of the floating fulcrum s of a hand lever S. N<2> is a balance weight for the system. After ramming, the top box and the pattern plate are raised, the pattern plate is swung aside, and the top box is lowered to assemble the mould, which is then lifted out of the bores, or the boxes are lifted from the frames, by further lifting the lower head H by a cross-bar M flexibly connected to a handle J<2> and balancing system N<3>, r. An indicator may be placed in one of the connectors o, o' of the packing-mechanism to indicate a particular degree of compression. The means for securing equal packing may be applied to horizontally-arranged machines. Core-making.-The connexion between the parts F, F<2> of the packing-apparatus and the means for lifting the moulds are stated to be applicable to machines for moulding cores. Flasks.-The Figures show boxes removable after the completion of the mould. The boxes for use in an horizontally-arranged machine would have a movable upper side for the insertion of sand.

Granted: 1912-11-28
Abstract: 27,561. Terry, A. E. Dec. 8. Composite springs; connexions, attachments, and adjustments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs. - Relates to auxiliary spring devices for vehicles, of the kind which are inserted between the end of the usual laminated spring and a spring or dumbiron on the vehicle frame, and in which a member such as a' is employed to connect the piston - rod D of the spring device with the end of the laminated spring C. The invention consists in providing the member a' with a curved part to accommodate the pivot of the piston - guide b' vertically below the end of the laminated spring. Fig. 2 shows a disk b' rigidly coupled to the frame member C by a forked extension B. The forked member a', pivotally mounted with respect to the end of the axle spring C, is pivotally connected to a rod D which passes through a long bearing in the disk b'. The rod D acts to compress the auxiliary spring E between an adjustable disk d' and the disk b'. A spring e<1> is provided to cushion the rebound of the rod D. The Provisional Specification also describes an arrangement in which the piston-rod has a forked end directly connected with the end of the laminated spring.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Dyeing Skein Yarn.
Inventor: KUNZ OTTO
IPC: D06B3/08
Filed: 1911-12-18
Granted: 1912-10-17
Abstract: 28,483. Kunz, O. Dec. 30, 1910, [Convention date]. [Addition to 1156/05.] Hank-type.-As described inthe parent Specification, the hanks are suspended in the bath from a range of rotating rollers, which can be raised and lowered, their ends being tensioned by yielding rods parallel with the rollers, which rods are oscillated perpendicularly to the planes of the hanks. The particular modifications comprising the present invention are as follows : (1) Two sets of yarn carriers a operating in two vats v are disposed opposite to each other, the sets being capable of being lifted and rotated about one vertical axis so that two dyeing operations may succeed each other without removing the yarn or shifting or changing the baths. (2) The frames which carry the slidable lower rods b extending through the skeins, can be adjusted in height by means of a screw device j, l or the like on the machine frame so as to relieve tension on the skeins. (3) The lower rods b are made arched slightly upwards to secure uniform distribution of the yarn over the carriers during the operations. The lifting and 'lowering of the two sets of carriers &c. is done hydraulically, the frame supporting the carriers a having lugs or projections c which rest on hydraulic plungers d. For rotating the apparatus, the carriers are raised until the lugs c pass through recesses in a disk e mounted in the upper part of the machine frame and fit into recesses in a second disk and hollow casing carried by a vertical spindle rotatably mounted on the disk e. During the rotation the lugs c rest on the disk e and are moved through two right - angles with the upper disk and casing; the lugs c then pass down through the opposite recesses in the lower disk e and the carrier sets are operated as before.

Abstract: 968. Adenot, L. Jan. 12. Draught-excluders of the hinged - flap type consist of a strip of flexible material e carried by a bar d attached to a spindle b provided with a bent arm which projects through a hole in the door and engages the door-post g, so that the excluder is pressed down when the door is shut. The excluder is raised, when the door is opened, by a spring m, and by a weight p connected to the excluder by means of a cord n passing over a pulley o. In a modification, the bent arm j may be pivoted on the spindle b and fixed to the bar d which, in this case, is movable about the spindle b; or instead of the arm projecting through the door, a projecting member may be fixed to the door post.

[Addition to 1051/11.] Penholders.-In the modification shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the rigid securing-member described in the parent Specification is replaced by a flexible securing-member 1 comprising a number of spring tongues 1, 1<a>, 1<b>, adapted to engage different portions of the shank of the nib in order to prevent rotation of the nib in the holder; or the spring 6 may be formed with a number of spring tongues for the same purpose. In a further modification as shown in Fig. 6, the penholder is provided with spring nib-ejecting means adapted to come into operation when the rigid securing-member is released. On inserting the nib into the holder, a spring- mounted pin 9 is forced inwards so as to engage the edge of the aperture 5. When the knob 4 is depressed in order to release the securing- member 1, the pin 9 is also released and advances under the action of a spring 11 to eject the nib from the holder.

Abstract: 20,509. Hubert, P. Sept. 9. Delivery apparatus.-A stop-cylinder machine is fitted with a delivery apparatus constructed so as to prevent the rear end of the sheet that is being delivered from contacting with the returning forme. As shown, the sheet is delivered by a drum a and tapes s, t, the drum a being driven from the cylinder by a gear b loose on the drum shaft e and formed with a slot which engages a pin d on the drum. When the cylinder stops, the wheel b also stops, but the drum a is moved onwards by a ratchet-wheel l and pawl k on a lever i rocked by a lever g, cam f, and connecting-rod h. At the same time, the tapes s, t are loosened by a cam m, lever n, rod o, and bell-cranks p, q formed with rollers p<1>, q<1> which normally hold the tapes taut. The drum a and a coacting roller r thus feed the sheet on out of the way of the returning forme, and so prevent smearing of the sheet.
