Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Pressing and Blowing Hollow Glass Articles.
Inventor: DICKER STANLEY GORDON SINCLAIR
IPC: C03B9/193
Filed: 1909-03-15
Granted: 1909-04-22
Abstract: 6152. Dicker, S. G. S., [Reich & Co., S.]. March 15. Blowing.-In a machine for blowing hollow glass articles, a rod d, to which a cross-head 15 is fixed, is drawn down against the action of a spring e by a hand-lever a. A bell-crank lever 11, 12, connected to the cross-head 15 by a rod 13, is thus rotated and operates a lever 6, 7 so as to raise the parison mould 3 into the finishing-mould 2. The charge of molten metal is then introduced, and the motion of the hand-lever a is continued so as to press the charge by a plunger 19 fixed to the crosshead 15. The lever a is then raised so as to return the plunger and parison mould to their former positions. On the upward motion of the handle a being continued, an arm f fixed to the bell-crank lever 11, 12 strikes the lower arm of a lever h, which thereupon pushes forward a slide 24 carrying the blowing-head 26. As the slide 24 advances, one arm of a bell-crank lever k strikes a stop m and causes the other arm to force the blowing-head 26 down on to the mould 2. The slide 24 is connected by a rod 27 and pivoted lever 28 to the sliding mould bottom 29, which is thus pushed beneath the mould. Blowing &c. is performed as usual. In a modification, the slide 24 is operated by a treadle.

Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 16,349. Plant, T. G. July 13. Lasting. - In a lasting - machine, the heel pin 16, Fig. 4, is mounted on a post 17 supported by a wedge 18, which can be traversed along the bed of the machine by a hand-lever 127x, Fig. 1. The lever operates a pinion 125x which engages a rack on a sliding bed 126, to which the wedge is pivoted at 125. The chief feature of the invention consists in the provision of a ledge 124 on the wedge which overhangs an elevating-rod 122 at all positions of the wedge. The heel carriage 7, having wipers 8 operated by a rod 9 and adjusted by wheels 10, 11 to the roll and spring of the last, is traversed along the bed 6 by a hand-wheel 19. A pivoted latch 21 engaging with a fixed stop 22 locks the heel carriage to the bed. The wheel 19 is also locked by a catch on a lever 139, which is pivoted to lugs 140 so as to swing outwards and engage notches in the periphery of the wheel. The lever is normally pressed by a spring to lock the wheel, but may be released from engagement therewith by a cam 144 on the bed. The heel carriage being locked, the rod 122, Fig. 1, is raised, preparatory to the lasting operation, by a pedal 123, which is held down after being depressed, by a pawl 130, Fig. 2, on the pedal engaging a rack 131 on the standard of the machine. The pedal may be released simultaneously with the release of a knee-lever 27 by which pressure is applied to the toe post 24. To effect this, the lever takes, as it comes off, against a tappet 134 on a vertical rock-shaft 133, which has an arm 132 to release the retaining-pawl 130. The machine is provided with the usual hold-down 28 operated by a pedal 29.

Abstract: 20,574. Kohler, K. April 17, [Convention date]. Actuating valves.-In flushing-apparatus the float arms, which comprise two parts, one, e, in the form of a sector of a circle, pivoted at g to the other, are provided with mechanism for taking up wear. When the water is rising, a pivoted lever k acts as a pawl on the part e and prevents turning, so that the float arm is rigid. When by means of an electro-magnet set in operation by clock-work, the pawl is released, the float f rises, and the lever d falls, opening the valve a. The entrance of more water starts the siphon. To allow for wear in the parts, the forked end k' of the lever k is curved so as to preserve a constant relation with a stop l on a lever m. An adjustable travelling weight o is carried by the lever k.
