Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 8488. Wilzin, A. April 13, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Hydraulic presses.-In stamping, forging, and embossing presses, means are provided wbereby a cycle of operations, consisting in (1) rapidly moving the tool - carrier by mechanical devices so as to bring it close to the work, (2) maintaining the tool - carrier rigidly at rest in that position, (3) executing the working pressure upon the work by an hydraulic piston, (4) relieving the work from pressure by withdrawal of the hydraulic piston, and (5) opening up the space between the tools by the return motion of the mechanical devices operating the tool-slide, may be carried out in automatic sequence. The sliding portion a, Fig. 3, of the press is bored out to form a pump cylinder in which is fitted a large piston l having the tool attached to its lower face l<3>, and it is operated from the shaft i by the cam hand wheels e, e', through cranks d, d' and links c, c'. The rotation of the shaft i first causes the slide a to descend and then remain at its lowest point for a short period, during which the plunger n is forced into the cylinder by the crank i<1> on the shaft i, causing the toolholder l<3> to exert a pressure upon the work. Further rotation of the shaft enables the springs m to return the tool-holder to its normal position in relation to the slide a, after which the cranks d, d' are again operated by the cam h, through the gearing shown in Fig. 2, to raise the slide a to some distance above the work. The shaft i is driven from a continuously-rotating fly-wheel, to which it may be conuected at will by a hand-operated clutch. In modifications, the hydraulic cylinder is fitted in the table of the press, and a replenishing-tank is provided communicating with the top of the cylinder and provided with a valve operated whenever a partial vacuum occurs. The body of the cylinder may be formed with a channel communicating with a source of hydraulic pressure, such as an accumulator, and another channel serving as an exhaust pipe, to both of which valves operated from the shaft i are fitted to establish and cut off communication between the channels and cylinder.

Title: Improvements in Electro-pneumatic Percussive Tools
Inventor: LAKE HAROLD WILLIAMSON
Filed: 1907-07-16
Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 16,327. Lake, H. W., [Ingersoll Rand Co.]. July 16. Hammers, power.-In a percussive tool such as an electro-pneumatic track channeler of the type in which the tool is driven by reciprocating columns of air from an air compressor and in which there are means independent of the compressor for raising the air pressure in the system for increasing the blow, the compressor and the air pump for the independent supply are driven by a common motor, which also actuates the traversing-gear for the truck. The tool cylinder 6, which is mounted on a shell 7 longitudinally and radially adjustable on a swing- ing-back frame 8, hinged to the truck 1 is connected by tubes 10, 11 to an air compressor 9, which is driven through spur gearing by a motor 14. One end of the motor shaft 13 has a bevel-pinion to engage bevel-wheels 18, 19 loose on the shaft 20 and forming part of two friction clutches, the sliding members 23, 25 of which are keyed on the shaft and may be disengaged from or alternately locked to the members 24, 26, carrying the gears 19, 18 by operating-levers 27, 27* connected by a rod 29 according to the direction of travel of the carriage required, the shaft 20 being connected by worm gear to the axles of the wheels 4. The member 26 normally rotates with its gear 18, Fig. 1<a>, being clamped between the flange 18* and a spring-pressed ring 26* secured to a casing 26**. The member 24 has a pulley 35, which, by a belt 36 and a pulley 34, rotates a shaft 32, mounted in bearings on the top of the motor. This shaft by an eccentric and pitman reciprocates an auxiliary pump-piston in the cylinder 28, which has a valve chest 37, containing a valved atmospheric inlet port 38, and a valved outlet port 44, the latter of which is connected by a pipe 45, with a port in the compressor cylinder alternately opened to the opposite sides of the compressor piston. The pipe may contain a check valve 48 distant from the compressor cylinder a predetermined amount according to the results required. The portion of the pipe between the check valve and the opening into the compressor cylinder acts as an additional cylinder space and holds part of the air supplied to the space below the piston,which is open much longer than the space above the piston. The valve is located at different positions by changing the length of the pipe sections. There is a constant leak in the system. The position of the port in the compressor cylinder may be varied, and the relative size of the pulleys 35, 34 altered to obtain the feeding of the auxiliary pressure at the desired intervals.

Title: Improvements in Sewerage for Towns and the like.
Inventor: LIERNUR JOHN FRANCIS
Filed: 1907-11-12
Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 25,102. Liernur, J. F., and Liernur, W. P. Nov. 12. Systems; traps. - Relates to improvements on the " Liernur " system and more particularly to that form described in Specification No. 23,167, A.D. 1896. District reservoirs of rectangular, elliptical, or other section are connected by pipes to an exhausting station and to district pipes communicating through traps with the house pipes. Fig. 3 shows the connexions of a reservoir B with the street mains A, the vacuum pipe F, and collector main C. The reservoir may be opened to vacuum when required by means of a valve f, but when vacuum is not required the sewage passes along a by-pass and bend E which passes into the interior of the main C forming an injector. An arrangement whereby one collecting-main serves as a vacuum pipe and also as a sewer pipe is shown in Fig. 3<b>. By closing the cocks 5, 6 and opening the cock 4, the sewage passes directly along the pipe C by gravity. If, however, vacuum is necessary, the reservoir is opened to the vacuum in the pipe C through a cock 7 and pipe 8, the valve 6 is opened, and the valve 4 is closed until the reservoir is full ; the valve 6 is then closed and the valve 5 and an air valve 9 are opened. The sewage is then urged along the pipe C by atmospheric pressure. The reservoir B and main F may be done away with, the mains A opening through injectors into the exhausted main C. The air cock of the reservoir may be connected as a ventilating-pipe to a sewer, the sewer end being provided with a non-return float valve to prevent the entrance of sewage. A rectangular form of reservoir requiring less depth of excavation is shown in Fig. 7. In this case, there is a more direct connexion with the collector main C so that the reservoir acts as a flushing-tank. A trap for use with the system has a diagonal plate R, Fig. 8, perforated at L and a ball valve N; in a modification, the inlet is continued to the bottom of the chamber in order to stir up and remove the silt. A further modification is shown in Fig. 10, the object being to allow a free passage to sewage, while inrushes of air are prevented by the ball valve N. An arrangement for allowing entrance of storm-water while not deranging the ordinary sewage collection is shown in Fig. 11. Storm-water enters at U and passes along the U-trap P, which is fitted with a valve Y to prevent the entrance of too much air while the vacuum is in operation. Apparatus for disinfecting sewer gas is shown in Fig. 6. The gas bubbles through disinfectant A and then passes up through a fire on the bars g.
