Title: A Tap for Measuring and Registering Liquids Delivered.
Inventor: QUEATE JOHN YOUNG
IPC: G01F11/02
Filed: 1910-02-07
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 18,046. Queate, J. Y., and Todd, A. L. Feb. 7, 1910. Moving-chamber apparatus with several chambers; varying quantity measured.-A tap for measuring and registering the delivery of liquids such as spirits, is inserted in a cask &c. and the liquid is delivered by pulling out a rod A. When the rod is given a partial rotation to the right or left before withdrawal, different quantities of liquid are obtained respectively. A hollow piston B, divided by disks b, b<1> into measuring-compartments C, D, F, slides within a cylinder A<1> inserted in the cask &c. The disks b, b<1> have ports b<2>, b<3>, with which ports b<6>, b<7>, b<8> in face valves b<4>, b<5> on the rod A may register. In one position, the valves close the ports in both disks b, b<1>, so that when the piston is pulled forwards until the opening c registers with the outlet only the liquid in the compartment C escapes. When the rod A is turned to the right, the ports b<2>, b<6> coincide, so that on the withdrawal of the piston the liquid from the compartments C, D escapes. When the rod A is turned to the left, the ports b<2>, b<7> coincide and also the ports b<3>, b<8>, so that the liquid contained in all the measuring-compartments is delivered. The compartments are filled, when the rod A is pushed in, through slots a<5>, a<6>, a<7>. Air-vent passages d<2>, d<3> are also provided. To ensure that the rod shall be turned to the correct extent for each operation, and to return it after each withdrawal to its normal position, the rod is provided with a cam E having slots as shown in Fig. 12. The rod can only be drawn out when a fixed pin f engages in one or other of the slots e, e<1>, e<2>, and the diagonal slots e', e<5> connecting them are of greater depth than the slots e, e', so that, when the rod A is in its extreme outward position, the pin f falls into one of the grooves e<4>, e<5>. On the return of the rod the pin f moves along one of the grooves c<4>, e<5> and restores the piston to its normal central position. Veeder or other totalizers are actuated by rods f<2>, f<3>, f<4>, Fig. 14, which are engaged by a T-piece f<1> on the cam E. Fig. 15 shows a modification for delivering two different measures. The face valve g<1> is kept against the partition g by a spring encircling the rod J, which is in two parts fitting one within the other. To ensure that the rod and the valve g<1> shall be in the correct position before withdrawal, the rod is provided with a key m which may slide through one of two slots in the cylinder casing. A pin n on the rod m actuates one of the arms n<2> of the totalizer. An air vent r<1> is provided. The piston may be prevented from rotating when the valves are rotated by means of a pin which slides in a longitudinal slot in the casing A<1>.

Abstract: 18,207. Wolf, A. Aug. 7, 1908, [Convention date]. Condenser systems ; surface condensers ; combined surface and,jet condensers.-The supply of water for ceutrifugal air pumps of the type in which water, discharged by an impeller, acts as the exhausting-agent, is obtained either from the cooling-water supply pipe or from the pipe through which water of condensation is withdrawn from the condenser. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the water used in a centrifugal air-pump f is withdrawn from the circulating-water supply-pipe c by a pipe g and is returned after use by a pipe c<1>. A jet device or a constriction k in the pipe c enables the circulating-pump e to deal with the water from the pump f. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the supply is withdrawn by a pipe h from an equalizing-tank i, to which water of condensation is led by a pipe l leading from the discharge of a pump f<3> which removes water of condensation from the condenser. The discharge pipe f<2> from the airpump f also leads to the tank i. A pipe m provided with a float valve p allows the return of water from the tank i to the condenser. The returned water showers over the tubes and aids in the condensation of the steam. An equalizing-tank may also be used in connexion with the arrangement in which the water supply is obtained from the circulating- water system.

Title: Improvements in Type-casting and Composing Machines.
Inventor: DROPIOWSKI TADEUSZ
IPC: B41B5/06
Filed: 1909-11-13
Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 26,375. Dropiowski, T. Nov. 13. Single-type composing and casting machines ; keyboards; moulds metal pots and pumps.-In machines in which a separate mould is provided for each character, the type being cast in these moulds as used, owing to the fact that often the ejection of a type metal is again forced into the empty mould, all the operations are performed by key pressure. The mould for each character is closed by two movable plungers, one of which carries the die and serves to eject the type. Each pump cylinder is filled with metal which is forced into the mould after the return of the die plunger. Each of a number of partitions 3 carries two moulds, one on either side, comprising plates 18, 19, 20 and plungers 15, 17. The plunger 15 carries a die and the plunger 17 has a U-shaped end 22 adapted to close the mould cavity. Both plungers are linked to a lever 8 operable by a key 5 and the arrangement is such that when the plunger 15 moves to eject the type, the closing- plunger 17 makes a greater movement and the type between the two plungers is thus released. A metal chamber 24 is heated by a gas-burner 25 and supplies a heated tube 26 extending across the machine which communicates with the various cylinders 12. Each piston 11 is actuated from its key 5 by means of a lever 7 the end of which extends lower than the free end of the lever 8. The lever 7 therefore withdraws the upper end of the piston from the mould cavity, to which position the piston has moved to prevent the formation of a ridge on the type, before the plunger 15 moves. The movement of the piston 11 allows metal to enter the cylinder 12, but the metal can enter the mould cavity only when the plunger 15 has retired after ejecting the type and the piston re-ascends. Cooling water may circulate through the walls 18, 19. Galley mechanism.-The galley descends by gravity, for each type delivered, under the control of escapement wheels co-operating with a rack on the galley. The types are delivered down a shoot 29 into a galley 30 which is horizontally displaceable in a vertically movable frame 34. A rack on the frame gears with a wheel connected by a ratchetarrangement with another wheel 41 which is controlled in its rotation by an escapement 42 actuated by a lever 43 and universal - bar mechanism 48 from the keys 5. At the end of a line, the frame is raised by hand or a special key. The types are alined in the galley 30 by a plate 53 acting in conjunction with one of the side walls of the case or with the line of type already composed. The horizontal displacement of the .galley 30 may be effected by hand or a special key and the lines of type locked by means of suitable quoins or by screws 55.

Abstract: 28,985. Boult, A. J., [United Shoe Machinery Co.]. Dec. 8, 1909. Boot-sole sewing-machines; governing needle thread.-In a chain-stitching machine, forming stitches in the way described in Specification 13,366/88, the needle-thread tension is reduced during the retracting stroke of the needle, and is increased during the stitch-setting stroke of the take-up. In one construction, the tension is applied by means of a brake-wheel 14 having two shoes 13. The shoes are carried by a lever 16, which is pressed upon by two parallel and equal levers 30. Both these levers are pressed towards the lever 16 by a spring 17, acting through a strut 28, which presses upon the middle of a cross-piece pivoted to one lever 30 and resting upon the other. During the stitch-setting stroke of the take-up, both levers 30 press on the lever 16. During the retracting stroke of the needle, one of the levers is lifted from engagement with the lever 16 by a cam-actuated lever 31. The pressures exerted by the two levers can be varied independently, without adjusting the spring 17, by means of hand-levers 39 having toothed quadrants which engage with rack teeth on slides mounted in ways in the levers 30. On each slide is a projection 37 which bears on the lever 16. By moving this projection, the leverage of the system can be altered as desired. In a second construction, applied to a machine such as is described in Specification 17,328/08, brakewheels 99, 100, fixed to the same shaft, have shoes 101, 102. The shoe 101 is pivoted to a lever 103, and the shoe 102 to a lever 105. The two levers are subjected to the action of a spring 107 compressed between a toothed washer 111 and nuts 109 on a pin-rod 108 pivoted to the lever 105. The pressures exerted by the shoes upon the wheels can be varied together by varying the compression of the spring, and their relative values can be altered by moving the toothed washer 111 upon the lever 103. The shoe 102 is removed during the retracting - stroke of the needle by a cam-lever 112 and an intermediate lever 113. On the reverse movement of the machine at stopping, a plate 42, in each construction, operates a lever which completely removes the tension brakes. In the first construction, the lever 16 is lifted. In the second construction, a lever 123 and a rod 124 acting on an arm 126 of the lever 103 remove the brakeshoe 101, and the cam of the lever 112 is set to withdraw the shoe 102 at the same time.
