Title: An Improved Forging-machine
Inventor: VEEDER CURTIS HUSSEY
Filed: 1901-02-26
Granted: 1901-05-25
Abstract: 4134. Veeder, C. H. Feb. 26. Forging.-A forging machine has a hopper H and feed-tube t in communication with a chamber C, the whole being made airtight and either exhausted or filled with an inert atmosphere to prevent scaling of the blanks during heating and forging. The blanks bare held back by an escapement 35 in the tube t, in which they are heated by gas jets 12 in a casing 15. The tube t is connected b y sections 21, 22, separated by heat insulators 24, 24<1>, with the chamber C, the section 21 being water-jacketed. The escapement is rocked by an external rod 62, bell crank 60, and cam 52 from a shaft 42 driven by bevel gearing and a shaft 43 from the main shaft. The released blank falls on a lip 22<3> on the forked end of the tube, and is frictionally held by the sides of the tube. A carrier arm T, with a rigid finger 36 and spring finger 36', transfers the blank to the dies o, o'. The carrier arm is pivoted on a rocking arm 41<1>, and its centre connected by a link 40 to a crank 42<1> on the shaft 42. The arm 41<1> is rocked by an arm 41, link 46, and cams 50, 51 on the shaft 42. The gripping end of the carrier arm is thus caused quickly to withdraw the blank laterally from the tube, to move downwards and place it between the dies, rapidly to withdraw laterally when the dies have gripped the blank, and to rise and grip the succeeding blank released by the escapement. The die o is stationary, being carried by a rod h adjusted by a set-screw 71. The die o' is carried by a rod h<1> reciprocated by two pairs of toggle-levers 76, 77 and 81, 82 operated by an eccentric and rod 84 from the main shaft. A cam 76<1> on the boss of the lever 76 operates a spring stripper rod 86 when the dies are separated, ejecting the forged blank from the die o'. The blanks fall into a portion c<2> of the casing C, which can be turned back on a pivot to allow them to be removed. When recharging the hopper, a valve 30 is closed to preserve the vacuum or inert atmosphere in the chamber. The chamber has sightholes 90, 91 outside one of which is a lamp 92.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Breech Loading and Discharge Actuated Guns.
Inventor: MCCLEAN SAMUEL NEAL
Filed: 1901-03-19
Granted: 1901-08-17
Abstract: 5792. McClean, S. N. March 19. Ordnance breech mechanism; field carriages.-Fig. 1 shows the gun and its carriage in side elevation, Fig. 2 the recoil apparatus in sectional elevation, Fig. 10 the breech-screw, Fig. 12 the breech and breechscrew carrier from which the breech-screw has been removed, and Fig. 15 the breech-screw mounted in its carrier. The recoil of the gun 1 in its cradle 3 carries back the cylinder 11, while at the same time the powder gases expand into the chamber 17, and carry the sleeve 16, rod 15, and piston 14 forward, thus compressing the air in the front end of the cylinder. The efficiency of the chamber 17 is increased by two hinged valves which automatically close the opening 18 as soon as the projectile has passed out. The return of the gun and chamber 17 to their original position is effected by the expansion of the air in the front end of the cylinder 11, the piston 14, during its rearward movement, compressing air in the rear end of the cylinder. This compressed air is connected by pipes 48, 49 to the elevating and training gear 4, 5, and by pipes 42, 43 to the ports 40, 41 of the breech-screw carrier 34. The breech-screw 25 is a continuously-threaded cone, and is carried by a screw 27 in the carrier 34, where it is rotated in either direction by compressed air from the ports 40, 41, the controlling-valve 44 to which may be arranged to be automatically operated by a latch 47 on the gun cradle 3. The hammer 54 is engaged by a sliding sear 55, which is operated by the trigger 56. In a modification, the sear is pivoted. A hand-wheel 58, Fig. 1, is carried on the breechscrew for opening and closing the breech by hand.

Granted: 1902-08-20
Abstract: 10,458. Temperley, J. R., and Temperley, J. May 20. Barges; colliers ; grain-carrying vessels. -Floating and other storage chambers for coal, grain, and the like are provided with baffle-plates b, Fig. 1, arranged partly or wholly over, or in proximity to, the openings c in the bottom of the chamber through which the material is to be withdrawn, so that the opening is relieved from the pressure of the direct head of the coal or other material. The material is discharged through shoots, either fixed below the openings c or, preferably, travelling upon rollers o, wedge blocks q being provided in the latter case to fix the shoot readily in position at any y opening. The lower end of the shoot has an oval ring l round which the mouth of the sack is passed, and the sack is suspended from pins u on hand-levers t at each side of the shoot, the levers being fixed by engagement with racks t<1>. The flow of the material is regulated by curved retarding - plates w<1>, x, carried by counterbalanced hand-levers v, x, and by supplementary devices z, z' on the underside of the shoot operated by the lever y<1>. The flow of the material may also be assisted by jointing the underside of the shoot and reciprocating the jointed plates by suitable machinery, and the openings c may be closed either by a door, which preferably hinges about either of two opposite edges of an opening, so that shoots with double-discharge passages as shown at Fig. 1 may be employed, the door serving to direct the material into one or other of the two passages, or by a pivoted door, shaped like, one-half of - the bucket of an ordinary grab. When the heap of material in the chamber has ceased to discharge from the side openings, each opening nearer the centre is employed, the shoot being run back to the opening for the purpose.
Patent GB-190114008-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Type-writing Machines.
Inventor: RANSFORD ROBERT BOLTON
Filed: 1901-07-09
Granted: 1901-09-14
Abstract: 14,008. Ransford, R. B., [Mechanical Improvements Co.]. July 9. Type-writers.-Relates to the " actions," shifting- mechanism, type-bar guides, and carriage feedmechanism of front-strike machines. The type-bars 1 are pivoted on a conmon pivot-rod 4, which passes through the slotted or comb-like front portion of a segmental support 2. The ends of the bars normally rest on a cushioned segmental support 5. The platen 8 is preferably disposed so that the type strike it slightly above the central line x, x. Fig. 3 shows one form of "action" which may be employed in the machine. The type-bar hubs are connected by links 12 to the lower ends of the key stems 11, which are also connected by links 13 to fixed points X. The dotted lines indicate the positions assumed by the type-bar, links, and key stem when the last-named is depressed. The links 13 are all of equal length, and the pillars 14 are arranged in four curved sets corresponding with the four rows of keys in the keyboard. In a modified form of action, the key stem 11 is guided vertically, and its lower end is connected by a short link with the rods 12, 13. In another modification, the key stem is slotted to receive the end of the rod 12 close to its connection with the rod 13. The key stem acts on the rod 12 either directly or by means of an antifriction roller. A single flexible wire or chain may replace the links 12, 13. The above-described " actions " may be applied to typo-wheel as well as type-bar machines. The shift-mechanism is of the following character :-The type-bar support 2 is carried by a frame which turns on a rock-shaft 17 at the front of the machine, and is provided with a rearward extension 19 which normally rests on a stop-buffer 20. When the shift-key 25 is depressed, the bellcrank-lever 23, Fig. 6, pulls forward a bar 26, which directly engages the crank-pin 39 of a rockshaft 37, and also engages by means of a slot the crank-pin 27 of a rock-shaft 28. Both shafts are pivoted in the side walls of the machine frame. The shaft 37 being the first to turn, the cam 36 lifts the type-bar guide 32, the function of which is to position the type accurately at the impressionpoint. The rock-shaft 28 is then turned, and the cam 30 raises the rear end of the type-bar supporting-frame and brings the upper-case type into action. The successive turning of the two shafts gives an easier touch to the shift-key than would otherwise be the case. In Fig. 5, the reference numeral 41 denotes the carriage feed-rack, 42 the pinion engaging it, and 43 the escapement-wheel. The escapement dog rocker 44 is pivoted at 45, and is connected to a rod 46, the front end of which passes through a slot in the type-bar guide 32 and extends into the path of the type-bars. The dog-rocker is thus actuated each time a type-bar strikes the platen.
