Abstract: 22,063. Pierpont, F. H., and Duncan, H. M. Oct. 13. Type; monotype and iike machines.-Relates to moulds for type-casting machines, more particularly such as used in the Lanston monotype machine. Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the mould with the cross slide B, Fig. 2, removed, and Figs. 6 and 7 show sections through the mould in different vertical plan@. The body or frame of the mould is made from a single piece of soft metal, having a base A<1> and two side pieces A', A<3>. In the base-plate A<1> is fixed a plate C', having a cam-groove C for operating the jet pusher B<6> on the slide B, which moves over the plate C. Between the slide B and the flange A<3> is a gib D, held in place by bolts D<3>. In the slide B is a spring-seated plate B<4>, which engages the gib D and always presses the slide B against the mould blocks G, G', although the parts may be distorted by unequal expansion. End blocks E, E<1> are secured to an intermediate plate F fixed to the base-plate A<1>. The plate F is provided with water-ways forming a loop at the casting-point, and the bearing of the slide B against this plate is made narrow. The side blocks G, G' of the mould cavity are disposed between the end blocks E, E<1>, and the mould blade or plunger H slides between them. A block H<1> in a slot in the plunger H, is slightly thicker than the plunger and forms a distance-piece for the blocks G, G'. A spring J, adjustable by a nut J<1>, bears on a sleeve J<3> which presses the blocks G, G<1> against two bearing points formed by the ends of two screws E<2>, held in any position by set-screws e. Between the blocks G, E<1> are placed felt or other washers g. The adjustment of the blocks G, G<1> and E to and from the slide B is effected by pins K having eccentric ends K<1> engaging a groove in the plate F. Screws k are provided for locking the pins K. Plates L fixed on the top of the blocks E. E<1> have projecting lips bearing on the blocks G, G' and holding them down. The block E<1> is securely fixed to the plate F and is prevented from twisting by a hardened pin M engaging the six sides of a hexagonal hole E<3> formed half in the block E<1> and half in the plate F. The plunger H is prevented from rising by a spring pin or rod N fixed in the block E<1> and passing through a hole in the distanceblock H'. The pin N is held in position by a screw N' and lock-nut. A wedge, provided with an adjusting screw, passes through an opening in the plunger H. To permit of introduction of oil, an opening J<4> is made through the screw J<1>, and an opening also may be made in the flange A<3>. An adjustable or interchangeable hardened piece B<2> is screwed or dovetailed &c. in the slide B at the casting-point, so that the mould may be used for casting type of different heights.

Abstract: 3552. Drey, O. Feb. 21. Pile-cutting.-Relates to knives, similar to those described in Specifications No. 8906, A.D. 1899, and No. 20,954, A.D. 1903, for cutting weft loops to form weft pile in velvets, velveteens, &c. The knife-blade d, Fig. 2, and guide d<1>, are supported by two oppositely-disposed feet b, c, Figs. 4 and 6, when the latter are in their closed position instead of being supported by one such support as hitherto. These feet, which are pivoted to extensions at the head of the knife handle or frame a, are geared together by arms b<1>, c' and a link e, Fig. 4, the end of one of the arms c<1> being also pivoted or connected to a rodf. When the blade, which is fixed in a socket k hinged in the carriage i, enters the fabric, the feet b, c supporting it are pushed aside on their pivots, a much less angular motion thereof being required than where there is only one support. The blade then falls into inoperative position. The rod f is also moved and, by lever mechanism g, g<1>, withdraws a pin h which normally passes through a hole in the handle a and a hole in the side of the slide carriage, so that the latter may be pushed backwards in the handle by the fabric, carrying the fallen knife with it. In one modification, one of the feet is provided with two upper arms c', c<2>, Fig. 6, on one side, one being connected to the rod f and the other by a link e to the arm b<1> on the other side. The two feet may be geared together by spur-wheels if desired, the rod f being connected to a crank-pin on one of the wheels ; or the feet may be otherwise geared together. If desired, the feet, instead of being exactly opposite to each other, may be disposed one in advance of the other in the direction of the length of the knife. A cross-bar l, having if desired a groove l<1> for the edge of the knife-blade, prevents the latter from rising. Horns m support the weight of the knife.

Abstract: 16,896. Newton, H. E., [Somers, D. M.]. Aug. 21. Rolling.-Relates to furnaces for heating sheetmetal plates or packs of plates, especially pickled plates for rolling, which are delivered direct from the furnace to the roller. The Figures show an inclined furnace through which the plates for use in making tin-plates are fed by gravity, but, in modifications, the furnace chambers are arranged horizontally and the conveyers which carry the plates are operated mechanically. The conveyer consists of endless chains 156 passing over rollers outride the furnace and in guideways 155 in the refractory lining 3. The plates may be supported by a central refractory part 211, Fig. 8, and at their edges by hollow metal projections 180, Figs. 21 and 25, on hollow plates 181, packed with refractory material such as asbestos and having a dovetailed connexion with plates 188 secured to links of the conveyer chains. The plates rest in recesses in the projections 180 and are spaced by intermediate stop lugs 185. Shields 194 may be placed between the supports, to protect the chains. In a modification, the carriers fit into pockets on the plates 188. The carriers and shields may. also consist of metal plates with dovetail projections and a central rib and side projections coated with refractory material, notches being formed in the central ribs of the carriers to engage the plates. The sheets may be delivered through a throat 28 to a receiver in a delivery chamber; from which they may be fed to the rolls. The receiver may consist of a hinged table constructed of T-bars, and operated by hand, or held in an inclined position by a spring-pressed rod and depressed to an horizontal position by the weight of the plates. The T-bars may act as guides in conjunction with small toothed rollers below them. The plates may be positioned before passing from the furnace by slides at one side operated by a spring-returned rocking shaft. An ejecting-pusher, having fingers passing through openings in the T-bars, may be operated by a rack and a toothed pinion 47<b>, actuated by a hand-wheel. The delivery chamber may be heated in a similar manner to the furnace. To position the front edges of the plates before leaving the furnace, and prevent them from being fed to the rolls at the wrong time, spring-pressed plungers are arranged as shown and may be operated by racks and pinions. A similar plunger may be used to retain the plates in the throat 28, to cool them slightly before they pass to the delivery chamber.
