Title: Improvements in and relating to Grinding or Crushing Machines
Inventor: MENIER HENRI EMILE
Filed: 1904-05-03
Granted: 1904-11-24
Abstract: 10,180. Menier, H. E. June 6, A.D. 1903, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Conical mills for grinding fluid, semi-fluid, or pasty materials comprise a central rotary conical stone a in contact with one or more inverted conical stones b rotated by means of gear-wheels at a higher peripheral speed than the central stone a. The shaft of this stone a is fixed with regard to vertical movement, while springs c press the vertically-movable shafts of the stones b downwards, to furnish the grinding-pressure. The material is forced between the stones at the lower part of the stone a through its hollow vertical shaft, or otherwise, and is carried up between the stones because of the higher peripheral speed of the stones b, to be detached by rubbers, which cause it to fall into a discharge channel d in the main trough e. The shafts of the stones may be vertical, horizontal, or inclined, or may be convergent, and the central stone a may have the greater peripheral speed, or the cones may be inverted.

Inventor: PIESBERGEN RUDOLF
Filed: 1904-07-13
Granted: 1904-08-18
Abstract: 15,629. Piesbergen, R. July 13. Artificial leather.-A plastic composition, which becomes hard when cold, consisting of tanned animal albumen, particularly skin gelatine, glycerine, fatty oils such as castor oil, olive oil, or saponified poppy-seed oil, india-rubber solution, and a filling-material such as barium white, is encased in a skin of collodion. A thin skin of collodion is obtained by allowing a solution of pyroxylin, dyed or otherwise, to cool on a smooth ground-glass plate, on which a uniform layer of the above composition is then spread and allowed to cool. Any surplus water being removed, a second layer of collodion is similarly applied. While the materials are still in a plastic condition, the sheet is pressed between soft cloth to give the appearance of natural leather, and rolled to a suitable thickness. The sheets are then immersed in a tanning-solution such as formaldehyde, chrome alum, tannic acid, or the like, or the tanning-solution may be added to the gelatinous mass before forming the sheets.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Folding and Creasing Textile Fabrics and the like.
Inventor: TURNER JOSEPH BRUNT
Filed: 1904-10-13
Granted: 1905-10-13
Abstract: 22,025. Turner, J. B. Oct. 13. Folding paper.-In machines for longitudinally folding and creasing fabrics, paper, &c., to ensure a centre fold, the material is adjusted to the creaser. The paper &c. K is fed to the converging stentering - bands A', A<2>, gripped by their edges, and carried forwards under the narrow end of a central sheet-metal creaser E, the pulleys B<2> being driven by bevel gearing from a shaft D. The creaser, formed preferably to a taper of 15 degrees, may be raised or lowered at its rear wider end, to suit different widths of material, by means of a cord and pulley operated from a screw at its narrow end which simultaneously adjusts the distance apart of the stentering-bands. As the material gradually converges with the bands, the increasing width of the creaser takes up the slack, thereby maintaining the tension and forming a central fold, the fabric being then permanently creased by its passage between the rollers H. The creaser may be of other form, mounted in various ways, and provided with a spring-pressed keel to maintain the tension or rollers to reduce the friction.

Title: Improvements in and applicable to Boot and Shoe Nailing Machines
Inventor: PRESTON ALBERT FRANCIS
Filed: 1905-01-26
Granted: 1906-01-18
Abstract: 1558. Preston, A. F. Jan. 26. Nailing.-Machines of the type in which nails are automatically measured, driven in, and cut from lengths of wire are provided with presser-plates for holding the heel under compression during the driving of the nails, and also guides for directing the nails. The presser-plate 13 is secured to the underside of the foot 15 of a slide 9, which is fitted in the head of the machine, the upper end of the slide being attached to a sliding plate 11 also fitted in the head of the machine. The wire-guide 12 is fitted to slide in the foot 15, and is normally held in its most forward position by a spring 16. A pin and slot 17 prevents it, however, from being forced too far out of the foot. The feed-wheel 14 for the work is mounted on an axle 19 screwed into a boss on the underside of the foot 15, and it is intermittently rotated by the engagement of a pivoted clawker 21, operated by an eccentric 23 on the main shaft 2, with ratchet teeth on its upper face. A brake spring 20 is also provided. The driving gear, the wire-carriers, and the wire measuring, driving, and cutting mechanisms, are all of known construction. As the shaft 2 revolves, the wire-carrying slide 6 starts to descend with the wires, the lower ends of which are in the guide 12, but before it reaches the heel a cam 24 presses on a roller 10 fitted in the upper end of the slide 9, and forces the plate 13 into contact with the heel, during which movement the ratchet teeth on the wheel 14 have been lowered clear of the clawker. The latter then makes its backward stroke, and the nail is driven and cut off, the guide 12 being forced backwards by the carrier 6 in the usual manner. As the carrier rises, the plate 13 is raised to liberate the heel, and the feed-wheel 14 is again moved into gear with its clawker. In an alternative arrangement, the wheel 14 is carried by a bracket secured to the machine frame. The underside of the plate 13 may be inclined so as to tilt the heel during the driving of the nail; or the slide 9 may be arranged to move in inclined guides for the same purpose. In another modification, the plate 13 is raised by springs.

The collar d is rotatably mounted upon an extension e<1> of a hollow screw e and can be rotated by a handle g in order to lift the load. The lifting-screw f and the nut a can be raised to any required position, in the well-known manner, without operation of the ratchet head d. The nut a is then screwed down from a position such as shown at Fig. 1 until it rests upon the head or collar d and is engaged by the spring pawl c. The hollow screw e is also adjustable in position in similar manner, so that the range of the jack is extended without affecting the operative stroke of its lifting-screw.
Patent GB-190512385-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Shuttle-changing Mechanism for Looms.
Inventor: HANSEN CHRISTIAN MARIUS
Filed: 1905-06-14
Granted: 1905-08-17
Abstract: 12,385. Hansen, C. M., Carlsson, J. C. B., and M³ller, C. V. June 14. Loom shuttle-changing mechanism.-Relates to a mechanical feeler connected to the lever h of mechanism described in Specification No. 11,456, A.D. 1904, for displacing this lever so that its hook i may be caught by the levers e that are lifted by the eccentric c on the lower axle b, thereby causing shuttle exchange. Hitherto the lever h has been displaced by an electric feeler closing an electric circuit as described in Specification No. 1152, A.D. 1903. At every second beat-up of the lay, a cam 94 presses down a lever 95 which carries the axis of rotation of a rod 70. This rod supports by a spring 76 a rod 73, provided with collars 74, 75, thus raising the rod 70 and a lever 77. The arm 78 of the latter has pins guided in slots 79 on the feeler-plate 80. The weft, when present, prevents the feeler-plate from projecting forwards and the arm 77 of the lever 77, 78, from rising more than a certain amount. The arm 77 then passes under a rod 83 carried by an arm 81 of a lever 81, 82. When the weft is exhausted, the arm 77 is allowed to rise farther, and rides over the rod 83, depressing the arm 81 against the action of a spring 87, so that a stud 89 is moved to the end of a slot 90 on a rod 91, against the action of a spring 92. The rod 91 is thus moved forward and actuates the rod h, so that shuttle-exchange occurs. The rod 83 is guided by a pin 85 and pressed forward by a spring 84.

Abstract: 24,619. Fulton, J. S. S. Dec. 7,1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Grates; smoke-consuming.-In a steam-generator or other furnace for burning peat, sawdust, and the like, the fuel is fed from a hopper 37, Fig. 1, on to an inclined stepped grate with fixed transverse bars 15 and bars 16 which are given a sequential upward, backward, and forward movement for feeding the fuel to the rear of the grate. A combustion chamber is formed above the grate by arches 8, 11 arranged as shown. The grate is in two sections, each of which has the fixed bars 15 attached to inclined side bars, and movable bars 16 attached to inclined bars 20. The upper ends of the latter are attached to eccentric straps 24, Fig. 3, mounted on eccentrics upon the transverse shaft 23, the eccentrics for one grate section being diametrically opposite to those of the other grate section. The lower ends of the bars 20 are suspended on links 25 pivoted to the fixed side bars. The shaft 23 is rotated by pawl-and-ratchet gearing, as shown, the arms 27, 28 upon which the pawls are mounted being adjustably connected to rods 32, 34, of which the former is connected to an eccentric strap upon the eccentric 30, and the latter to a pin 33 upon the same eccentric. The eccentric 30 is mounted upon a shaft 31 upon which is a driving-pulley 36. The supply of fuel may be regulated by altering the length of the arms 27, 28. If a very slow feed is desired, one of the arms may be disconnected. An arrangement for dumping ashes, consisting of a pivoted plate connected to a handle, is arranged at the rear of the grate.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Control Devices for Machine Tools.
Inventor: LAWRENCE BENJAMIN
Filed: 1905-12-14
Granted: 1906-04-05
Abstract: 26,044. Lawrence, B., Johnson, L., and Roberts, J. T. Dec. 14. Lathes; feed-motions.-In screw-cutting lathes and like, operating machine tools, the nut is controlled so as to prevent engagement with the leadscrew in improper positions. The improvments are also applicable to machine tools in which other members, e.g. a gear-wheel, replace the leadscrew. In the example shown in Fig. 1, a wormwheel G, permanently in gear with the lead-screw, has projections which operate a lever F at proper times to free the nut lever E from a notch F<1>. By moving the lever E in the reverse direction, the lever F may be held out of the way of the projections, e.g. during the return of the saddle. The apparatus may be rendered inoperative by a catch F<4>. In a modification, a projection on the leadscrew operates a star-wheel, which in turn oscillates a spring-controlled rock-shaft having projections which normally prevent the closing of the nut. In another modification, projections on the boss of a worm-wheel operate a lever notched to engage the nut segments directly. The worm-wheel G may be mounted on the lathe bed and geared to the lead-screw. To indicate the suitable time for engagement, a star-wheel K carried on a fixed bracket carries a pointer and is operated by a tooth C' on the lead-screw or other connected rotary part. Milling.-The mechanism is stated to be applicable to control the engagement and disengagement of a pinion with a rack carried by a milling-cutter slide.
