Abstract: 3743. Green, T. L. Feb. 15. Cutting-machines.-Comprises in wire-cut biscuit or soft-cake machines (1) a cutter to arranged that in dropping at the end of the cutting stroke it engages with the edges of the severed biscuits and deposits them evenly and squarely on to the receiving-pans ; (2) cushioning-means for the cutter ; and (3) means for imparting skip to the pans. The cutting-wire 31 is carried by arms 34 adjustably connected to a crosshead 53 sliding along a hinged member 55, which is caused to drop at the end of the cutting stroke by means of a spring 60 and a stepped cam 58 mounted upon a shaft 17. A dash-pot 64 cushions the drop of the cutter. Movement is imparted to the cutting-wire by means of a crank-disk 49 connected to levers 43 by an adjustable rod 45. Dough is fed continuously from the hopper 1 through dies 25 by means of grooved rollers fitted with scrapers and driven from the shaft 17 through bevel and worm gearing. The hopper is formed in two parts hinged together at 5<a> and secured by bolts 6. Pan chains passing around sprocket-wheels on shafts 71, 81 are supported by channel guides carried by a frame 74, hinged about the shaft 71, and provided with extensions 75 adjustable vertically by means of a yoke 76 fitted with an adjusting-device 77. Motion is imparted to the pan chains from the shaft 71 which is driven by gearing 90, 91 connected to a variable-speed device 99 driven from the sbaft 17 through bevel-gearing. The device 99 comprises a driven shaft 97, Fig. 9, carrying gears 96 meshing with gears 95 loosely mounted upon a shaft 92 and coupled thereto by one of three spring keys 104, 105, 106, which are successively moved into engagement when the shaft is moved longitudinally by means of a hand-wheel 108 mounted on a screwed sleeve 109 normally locked to the shaft by a spring detent 111. The shaft 71 is connected to the gear 90 through epicyclic gearing 126, 127, 128, Fig. 2, of which the gear 127 is formed with ratchet teeth 130, Fig. 1, engaged by a pawl 129 carried by the gear 90. A stop-bar 133 connected to a spring- retained rod 136 periodically engages with a pin 132 on the gear 127, arresting the latter and imparting a skip to the pans. The gear is released by means of a cam 134 mounted upon the shaft 17 acting upon a lever 135 connected to the rod 136, adjustment being provided by a coupling 136<a>. To provide for adjustment of the pans, the gear 87, Fig. 2, which drives the pan chain is adjustable relatively to the shaft 71 by means of a slotted connexion 87<b>.

Title: Improvements in Cash and Autographic Registers.
Inventor: WERNER JOHN ANDREW
Filed: 1909-03-03
Granted: 1910-03-03
Abstract: 5202. Werner, J. A. Jan. 26, [Convention date]. Autographic cash registers; delivering check to customer. - Relates to the feed - mechanism and duplicating- means for the autographic record strip and to interlocking mechanism between the feed-mechanism and the register. The autographic apparatus is described as attached to a key-set crank-operated cash register which prints the usual record strip ; the crank handle is moved towards the casing to couple up the autographic feed-mechanism and deliver a sales strip and a duplicate, and to feed a summary strip which is retained. The main crank is secured to a shaft 16, having a wide pinion 18 to engage the operating-pinion of the register in both positions of the shaft 16; that is, the positions in which the autographic strip is driven or not, and which correspond to the engagement of a catch 99, Fig. 7, with grooves 98, 97 respectively in a collar on a shaft. In the driving position, a feather 54 on the shaft 16 engages the hub of a pinion 44, which drives a platen roller 59 for the original sales strip and a feed-roller 34 for both original and duplicate strips, the summary strip 22 being fed by a pawl and lever 49 forked to engage a cam-disk attached to the pinion 44. A gripping-roller 33 is provided, the pressure of which is adjusted by means of a screw 74. The strips pass under a serrated edge 35 and over a lip 36 in the casing, so that a straight pull on the strip cuts it off against the edge. An electro roll 23, inked by a roller 28, prints on the original sales strip. The upper carbon slip between the original and duplicate strip is held by clips 76, Fig. 9, to a frame 75 pivoted at 78, and the strip 42 for the summary copy is held by pins 81 and a clip 82 to a lower frame pivoted at 79, which forms a writing- table 38 for the two delivered strips and a table 41 for all three. Operating-means; interlocking.-The main crank is attached to the shaft 16 by a bolt, which can be withdrawn transversely from engagement with the crank hub by pushing longitudinally a spring- pressed plunger in the shaft, which has a pin-andslot engagement with the bolt. The handle is stopped at the end of an operation by a notched disk in the main shaft engaging a lever which is thrown into position by a pin on one of the driven pinions. A slight backward movement of the handle frees the stop for the next operation. To prevent movement of the platen roller 27 if the autographic drive is out of gear, a lever 63 engaging a collar on the shaft 16 has a pin 66 to engage a hole in the platen pinion 57, and a projection 72 on the same lever lies on one or other side of a disk 68 on the main shaft to prevent change of drive during the operation of the machine.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Steam Pump Governors.
Inventor: MCMULLEN CHARLES PALMER
IPC: G05D13/00
Filed: 1909-05-10
Granted: 1910-05-10
Abstract: 11,046. McMullen, C. P. May 10. Fluid governors.-In governors for steam pumps a piston is acted upon by the fluid pumped and controls the movement of the steam throttle valve against the action of a low-tension and a supplemental high-tension spring. The piston b, Fig. 2, is connected to the throttle valve through a rod j and is mounted in a cylinder a open at its lower end through the pipe c<6>, Fig. 1, to the discharge side of the pump. A pipe c, Fig. 2, opening into the upper end of the cylinder, is attached to a pump c<4>, by means of which lubricant can be forced into the cylinder against the pressure existing therein. In the pipe c<6> is placed a ball valve d<4>, the movement of which is limited by the screws d<8>, d<11>, the latter in its upper position preventing total closure of the passage on a back pressure ; by means of this valve a rapid opening of the steam throttle valve consequent upon a sudden fall in the fluid pressure on the piston is prevented. Oil is maintained in the trap formed by the pipe c<6>. The spring o<5> is used for working with a pump delivery pressure up to 30 lb., and a spring k<4> for pressures above 30 lb. The low-pressure spring is contained in a casing h<2> above the throttle-valve casing g ; it rests on a pluoger o<4> on the valve-rod j, and is adjustable by means of the nut i. In a n odification, steam entering the casing passes to both sides of the plunger through perforations therethrough. The high-pressure spring rests on an adjusting-nut j<4> on the valve-rod and bears against a cross-head k, the latter in turn resting against rollers n<7> carried by the adjusting-lever m. In the mid-position, as shown in Fig. 1, the low-pressure spring alone is acting on the piston b ; by lowering the adjusting-lever, the pressure exerted by the spring k' may be varied, and by raising the lever the throttle valve may be closed. The lever is held in position either by a screw carried by the lever bearing on the quadrant l<2>, or by rods n' entering teeth cut on the quadrant, the rods being operated by the bell-cranks n<3>. The valve-rod may be in two or three parts ; a split nut o, closed by a bolt o<3> passing between the ends of two lengths of the rod, forms the joint in the rod.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Ammonium Chloride from Ammonium Sulphate and Common Salt.
Inventor: FREETH FRANCIS ARTHUR
IPC: C01C1/16
Filed: 1910-01-01
Granted: 1910-10-27
Abstract: 86. Freeth, F. A., and Cocksedge, H. E. Jan. 1. Ammonium chloride; sodium sulphate.-Ammonium chloride and sodium sulphate are obtained by double decomposition between ammonium sulphate and sodium chloride at below 100‹ C. by first preparing a " nucleus solution " containing ammonium chloride, sodium sulphate, and sodium chloride in proportions depending on the reaction temperature selected, and adding to this solution, either before, during, or after heating to the reaction temperature, such equivalent quantities of ammonium sulphate and sodium chloride as will give at the reaction temperature a solution saturated or nearly saturated with respect to ammonium chloride. The mixture is maintained at the reaction temperature until the reaction is complete, any loss of water being made up, and the precipitated sodium sulphate is separated and washed. The solution is then cooled, but not below a minimum temperature depending on the reaction temperature, whereupon ammonium chloride separates and is collected and washed. The remaining solution is identical with the original " nucleus solution," and the cycle of operations may be repeated indefinitely. Specification 26,263/09 is referred to.

Abstract: 5190. Weckesser, O. H. Oct. 7, 1909, [Convention date]. Chambers with baffles; discharging-appliances. -A machine particularly applicable for mixing the ingredients of concrete, plaster, and like compositions comprises a set of superposed trays divided into open hoppers at each end, hopper bottoms located below each tray, and a doubleended discharging-shoot, all mounted on a carriage which is tilted in opposite directions alternately by the weight of the material fed in, the tilting causing the hopper bottoms to move relatively to the hoppers so as to allow the material to pass into the hoppers or discharge shoot beneath, In the example shown, a braced rectangular framework built up mainly from angle-irons supports platforms 14, 15, between which the material is fed into the uppermost of three trays 17, which are secured to carriage members 31, Figs. 2 and 14, mounted on wheels 50 running on inclined tracks 8, 9. Each tray is divided by transverse plates 18, 19 at each, end into open pockets or hoppers 21, and is further provided with inclined baffles 25 for retarding the passage of the material through the hoppers. Below the hoppers are bottoms 69 carried by angle-iron bars 63 connected together at their ends by coupling-rods 88 and secured at mid-length to a pair of oppositely-disposed members 51 provided with longitudinal slots 57 which receive trunnions mounted in bearings 61 carried by the framework. The bars 63 are supported on rollers 48 mounted on the carriage members 31. The double-ended discharge shoot 28 is provided with curved deflectors 100 at each side in order to divert the material from the wheels 50 and tracks 8, 9. The trays are locked in the inclined position shown in Fig. 2 until the required amount of material has been fed into the upper side of the top tray; the locking is effected by a catch which holds a plate 95 fixed to the tray against a stop 95<a> fixed to the platform 15; the catches form the long arms of levers pivoted on a rocking shaft 90, the short arms of the lever terminating in studs 93 which are depressed by the foot to release the trays. As the trays tilt into an horizontal position and then into the oppositely-inclined position, the hopper bottoms 69 are moved relatively to the hoppers and permit the material to fall through the trays into the shoot, the mixing being facilitated by providing the bottoms with serrated sides 77, Fig. 12.
