Title: Improvement in Sand-mixing Machines for Foundries.
Inventor: BOWDLE GEORGE FREDERICK
IPC: B22C5/04
Filed: 1912-06-24
Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 14,711. Bowdle, G. F., O'Brien, J. F., and Schmidlapp, F. L. June 24. Mould materials.-A sand-treating machine for foundries is power-driven to travel over the floor, cut up the sand, and throw it on a reciprocating screen to separate sprues &c., and leave the sand in a prismatic heap. The blades 91, arranged as shown in Fig. 1, are pivotally mounted on spiders, and are carried round fixed cams which accelerate the blades when engaging the sand and retard them when delivering. The point of delivery, and consequently the height of the heap formed, is regulated by angularly adjusting the cams. The blades are chain driven from a shaft 19 yieldingly driven from an electro-motor at 122. The shaft 19 is geared at 64 through a clutch 66 to a shaft 31, Fig. 6, which provides a geared drive to the wheels 3 for propelling the machine about the foundry through driving-chains 12, shafts 14, and differential gear 22. Three forward speeds and a reverse are provided, gate-controlled at 61 through a sliding rock-shaft 40. In the position of the rock-shaft that corresponds with the high forward speed and the reverse. an arm 120, Fig. 8, engages a finger 121 and prevents the closing of the clutch 95 that drives the blades. A finger on the arm 71 that controls the clutch 66 engages notches in the shaft 40 and only permits the clutch to be closed when the sliding gears are fully in mesh. The blades may be raised or lowered by a winch rotatable in either direction by friction gearing from the motor. The rope from the winch passes over a pulley carried by upwardly extending arms on the frame, and is attached to the cross member of the pivoted frame that carries the blades. Projections 76<a> limit the lower position of the frame. The screen 160 of the angular formation shown in Fig. 1 is carried by pivoted extensions from the main frame, and is agitated by cams and bumpers 166. Sprues &c. are received by a pan 161. The front supporting-wheels of the machine are carried by vertical shafts in a yoke pivoted about an horizontal longitudinal pivot to enable the machine to pass over uneven surfaces. The vertical shafts are provided with linked cranks connected to steering-gear. The various gear boxes, chains, &c. are enclosed to prevent access of sand. The blades may be provided with curved edges to cut and carry the sand more effectually.

Abstract: 14,831. Hiltz, G. S. June 25. Ratchet gearing.-In a printing - telegraph receiver, the ratchet 61 for moving the type-wheel is actuated by a pawl 62 ; when it is desired to release the wheel, the lever 76, which is normally pushed idly before the pawl 62, is held stationary either by the finger 82 or by the lever 84, whereupon the pawl 62 rides up on the pin 75, at the same time disengaging the holding-pawl 62<a> by means of the levers 77, 78. The paper-feed ratchet 114 is rotated by the pawl 104 ; the pawl 115 to prevent overdriving is normally kept from the reverse ratchet 114 but is released when the pawl 104 is moved.

Granted: 1914-05-22
Abstract: 11,957. McCourt, C. D., and Bonecourt Surface Combustion, Ltd. May 22. Crucible and muffle furnaces; annealing, metallurgical, and metal-heating furnaces.-Air and heavy oils in substantially the proportions necessary for full and complete combustion are introduced into a mixing-chamber wherein combustion begins. The resulting gas and air issue from this chamber as a homogeneous mixture, and combustion is completed in or near the surfaces of refractory bodies or materials in or forming the furnace chamber or objects therein. Fig. 1 shows an annealing-furnace 2 heated by the combustion of liquid fuel supplied by a pipe 13, injected by a needle valve 14, and sprayed by air or steam. Air is supplied by a pipe 15, and the mixture begins to burn in a mixing and combustion chamber 8, which has one or more restricted outlets 9 leading to a flue 6, on and near the walls of which the combustion is completed. Ignition and observation apertures 16, 18, 4 are provided in the doors 17, 3 of the mixing-chamber 8 and wording chamber 2. A similar mixing and combustion chamber 8 may be utilized for heating a crucible furnace or a shaft furnace. In the crucible furnace the burning gases are delivered tangentially to the annular space between the crucible and the lining of the furnaces, upon the surfaces of which combustion takes place. In a shaft furnace the burning gases are delivered to the base of the shaft, and combustion takes place upon the surface of the material in it. The invention may be adapted also to muffle, welding, calcining, ore-treating, metal-heating, and other furnaces and heating- apparatus. Specifications 25,808/09, [Class 51 (i), Furnaces &c., Combustion apparatus of], and 29,430/09 are referred to.

Abstract: 14,259. Merkl, Friedrich Ritter von. Oct. 8, 1912, [Convention date]. [Addition to 14,109/10.] Metal - working presses. - In a driving-mechanism for presses, or shearing, punching, and like machines, a member connected to one element of the elastic transmission described in the parent Specification, and actuated by a member on the other element, is alterable in form so that its motion, which regulates the speed of the motor, may be adjusted to the path-pressure curve of the elastic transmission, for the purpose of obtaining a more constant load on the motor due to the fly-wheel giving off energy in proportion to the working resistance. A sleeve 6 revolublv mounted on an arm 5 fixed to the piston-rod 4 is slidable upon but keyed to the shaft 2 that drives the speedregulating device of the motor. The sleeve carries a series of disks 7 which are each slotted so that a continuous groove 8 is formed, the inclination of which may be varied according to the path-pressure curve of the elastic transmission by rotating the rings. The rings are clamped in adjusted position by a plate 10 and nut 9. After the compression has risen sufficiently, the cylinder 1 moves downwards relatively to the piston, and a roller 11 carried thereon and travelling in the groove 8 rotates the shaft 2. The roller 11 may be mounted on the piston and the member 7 on the cylinder.
