Title: Improved Process of and Apparatus for Bedding or Placing China, Porcelain and the like for Firing.
Inventor: MAYER ERNEST
Filed: 1907-10-21
Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 23,238. Mayer, E. Oct. 21. Pottery.-In bedding or stacking china-ware, such as plates, for firing, the articles are mounted upon a previously-fired setter 2, Fig. 2, resting upon a block 3, which is placed upon a table 4, preferably provided with a loose upper plate 5 of sheet metal. Bedding-pieces 6 are interposed in order to support the middle portions of the articles, and the pile is surrounded by a shell or casing 7 of sheet metal or the like. Bedding-material, such as sand, ground silex, &c., is then filled in around the articles in the shell, and the plate 5 or other part of the apparatus is vibrated by suitable means, such as a pneumatic hammer 9, until the bedding-material has thoroughly settled into the interstices between the articles, as shown at 12. The shell 7 is then removed, allowing surplus bedding-material 8 to fall away, and the pile is placed in a sagger and fired. The bedding may be performed by vibration or agitation in the sagger itself, either with or without the use of the shell 7. Instead of the bedding-pieces 6, separating- devices 15, Figs. 5 and 6, may be employed, whereby bedding - material is allowed to travel inwards between the bottoms of the articles.
Patent GB-190724625-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Hydraulic Clutch Mechanism
Inventor: LOW ARCHIBALD MONTGOMERY
Filed: 1907-11-07
Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 24,625. Low, A. M. Nov. 7. Hydraulic transmission of power.-Relates to an hydraulic clutch of the type in which one member is provided with cylinders and the other member with pistons working in the cylinders, the two members together forming a casing to receive a liquid such as oil, the flow of which to the cylinders is controlled by valves or cocks, the relative velocities of the driving and driven shafts depending upon the extent to which the cocks are opened. According to the present invention, the cylinders and pistons are arranged to exert equal and opposite forces upon the liquid, thus ensuring balance of the moving parts. The driving-member a<1>, Fig. 1, of the clutch is provided with two pairs of cylinders b, b<1>, arranged diametrically opposite to each other. The pistons i, i<1> are actuated by eccentrics f, f<1> on the driven shaft d, working in the cross-heads h, A' respectively. The flow of the oil to the cylinders is controlled by cocks j adjacent to the cylinders and on opposite sides, as shown in Fig. 4. The cocks are provided with passages for each of the cylinders at one side of the shaft axis, the diameter of each passage being equal to that of the cylinders, and the end of each cylinder is rounded off as shown at c<1> to provide a free passage for the oil. The pair of pistons i move in the same manner as the pair i<1>, but in the opposite direction, so that the forces exerted upon the liquid are equal and in opposite directions, thus balancing each other. The spigots k of the cocks may be operated by any suitable means, or by the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 4. Loosely mounted upon the shaft d, and guided against axial movement by means of a plate m<2>, is a collar m, the outer face of which is in two planes forming surfaces to which are pivoted connecting-rods n, which operate cranks n<1> on the spigots k. On the collar m is a guide o<3> in which works the spherical end o<2> of one arm of a bell. crank lever o, which is pivoted to a bracket o<1> on the cover e of the apparatus, the other arm of the bell-crank having a pin-and-slot connexion with a rod p capable of being reciprocated by means of an axially movable ring p<1>. Movement of the ring p<1> imparts a rotary movement to the spigots k of the cocks. The free ends of the cylinders may be directly connected and a single cock only used, in which case the external casing may be dispensed with. Any number of cylinders may be used provided they fulfil the required balancing condition. Two cylinders may replace two pairs, in which case the cylinders are arranged at opposite sides of the shaft and an extension rod of each piston slides in a guide opposite thereto instead of in an actual cylinder. One cylinder of each pair may be replaced by two or more cylinders, the arrangement however being such that the balancing condition is retained.

The frame A is bifurcated to pass over the lug b<1>, and in some cases the pivot-pin is supported by springs arranged either in the lug b<1> or in slots in the bifurcations. The frame A and the pin B are formed with webs a<4>, b<4>, which are connected by a chain d.
