Title: Improvements in Boxes, Packing Cases and the like.
Inventor: GEDALIUS ELIAS EDUARD
IPC: B65D55/14
Filed: 1911-03-11
Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 6145. Gedalius, E. E. March 11. Lids and covers; corner joints etc.; battens, strengthening.-The lid of a box or packing- case for pianofortes &c. is formed in two parts 7, 8 abutting at their inner edges and connected at these edges by eyes 11 with pins 6 attached to the front and top walls of the box, the reinforced outer edges of the parts carrying angle-pieces 13 provided with pins 15 engaging in slot-pieces in the box-ends 12. The lid parts 7, 8 are held together by a slotted bolt 16 and key 20, and the arrangement is such that, when the lids are locked by these parts, the box-walls &c. are braced and drawn together. The bottom, sides, and rear wall are protected against tampering by angle-irons 18 on the strengthening-battens, secured from the inside of the box by screw-bolts 19. The front wall 1 is detachable, and is connected with the bottom by hooks 2 or pins, which take into eyes 3 secured to the bottom. The rear wall may also be detachable. Since the strengthening-battens, arranged as shown, form a frame, the box-walls proper may be made of very thin material.

Title: Automatic Cutting Device for Brick Presses.
Inventor: BESTA PAUL
IPC: B28B11/16
Filed: 1911-05-12
Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 11,519. Besta, P. May 12. Stream-cutting machines.-Relates to automatic brick - cutting machines of the type in which the cutters and carriage are operated from an independently-driven shaft through a coupling which is thrown into operation by the initial movement of the carriage by the clay stream, and comprises an improved coupling and mechanism for operating the cutters and carriage. A constantly-driven shaft o, Fig. 6, mounted laterally on the carriage, is fitted with a disk k furnished with pins l adapted to engage with a projection n on an elbow lever m pivoted to a similar disk i mounted upon a shaft w. A lever g, retained by a hook h on the carriage, normally presses the lever m inwards against the action of a spring and prevents the engagement of the pins l; but is deflected by a spring p on the movement of the carriage. The cutting- frame a, Fig. 1, furnished with wires 100, is reciprocated within guides b on the carriage by a rocking beam u which is furnished with a guide-slot d embracing a roller c on the frame a so that this can move horizontally. Mounted on the disk i is a roller r, Fig. 7, which rocks the beam through a link t. Springs e, f return the cutting-frame a and beam f, a cam s on the disk i causing a gradual return. A spring device 6 engages with the roller r at the end of this movement. The carriage is operated by a link 4, Fig. 1, connected through a lever 3, 2 to a link z which is formed with a slot embracing a crank pin or a disk y mounted upon a shaft x geared to the shaft w. Owing to the slotted link z, the carriage is arrested for a short time at the end of its forward movement, allowing time for the cut bricks to be removed. A brake 5 prevents accidental movement of the carriage.

Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 13,737. Mazza, E. June 8, 1910, [Conven tion date]. Separators for gaseous substances. - Gaseous mixtures are separated into streams of different densities by forcing them through fixed curved conduits 8 in which centrifugal action is set up owing to the velocity and the circular path. The apparatus shown in Fig. 1 is formed of a chamber 1 into which the mixture is fed under pressure, and a chamber 2, in which a partial vacuum may be created, arranged to receive one portion of the separated mixture. A number of the curved conduits 8 are arranged over openings in the top plate 5 of the chamber 1, and the plate 6 of the chamber 2 is arranged to fit over the conduits and separate the streams emerging from the conduits. One portion passes over the plate 6 into the chamber 2, and the other portion passes away between the plates 5, 6. The apparatus may be used for drying air, in which case the air received in the chamber 2 is stated to be richer in oxygen. Two such appliances may be used in series.
