Title: Improvements in Typecasting Machines.
Inventor: RANSFORD ROBERT BOLTON
IPC: B41B5/06
Filed: 1910-04-26
Granted: 1910-09-08
Abstract: 10,187. Ransford, R, B., [Oddur Manufacturing Co.]. April 26. Single-type composing and casting machines; driving-mechanism.-Relates to machines having matrices in the sides of rotatable disks. (1) The matrix-disk 13, Figs. 4 and 5, has set into one face a series of matrices 3 and on the opposite face is formed with grooves in which are secured hard metal pieces 8 containing apertures for the reception of a locking-pin. A raised face 11 on each piece 8 forms a bearing for a shoulder on the locking-pin and determines the width of the mould for the particular matrix. The disk may bear two or more concentric series of matrices, corresponding matrices in the different series being arranged in the same radial lines of the disk. (2) The casting-mechanism is brought into action by means controlled by a part moving with the matrix-disk. The disk 13 is fast on a shaft 14, Fig. 1, carrying an arm 17 to which is pivoted a latch 19. Sliding stops 22 mounted in a fixed drum are adapted to be projected by keys into the path of the latch whereby the matrix-disk is arrested with the desired matrix in position. The latch, on striking a stop, is depressed, and its rear end raises a link 23 having a cam face 24 which bears against a ring 25 carried by an arm on a shaft 27. The shaft is thereby rocked and the casting-mechanism is started. (3) The power by which the machine is operated maintains under tension spring devices such as a spring drum by which the matrix-disk is rotated when released by the depression of a key. The shaft 14 tends to rotate under the influence of a spring drum 15 which is kept wound by a constantly-driven belt 16. The shaft 14 carries a snail 37, Fig. 2, having a shoulder which is engaged by a pawl 39. The pawl is rocked to permit the shaft to rotate by a universal bar operated by the keys. (4) When a matrix-disk having two or more rows of matrices is employed, the disk and the mould are relatively movable to bring the different rows into position. The disk is preferably movable, and is mounted on an intermediate part 14<b>, Fig. 2<d>, of the shaft 14, which can be moved transversely to its axis while remaining in connexion with the stationary parts 14<a>, 14<c> of the shaft. At the end of the shaft 14<a> is a circular head 74 having a transverse groove in which works a bar 76 pivoted at one end to a plate 78 secured to the end of the intermediate shaft 14<b>. The other end of the intermediate shaft is similarly connected to the end of the shaft 14<c>. The shaft 14b is moved transversely to its axis by two pivoted arms 89 which are rocked by a cam-bar 94 operated by a key-lever. The shaft 14b is moved endways to carry the matrix against the mould by a lever 88 operated by suitable means, such as a cam. Specification 24,933/09 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in Receptacles for Containing and Discharging Semi-solid and Pasty Substances.
IPC: B65D83/00
Filed: 1911-04-12
Granted: 1911-10-05
Abstract: 9100. Marks, E. C. R., [Craven Engineering Co.]. April 12. Piston apparatus for discharging receptacles. -Relates to receptacles for containing and discharging semi-solid and pasty substances, such as grease, butter, or lard, of the type having a screw-operated piston for discharging the contents, and consists in adapting the end of the piston-rod automatically to open or close the discharge orifice by the same movement as operates the piston. The piston-rod 7, Fig. 1, is threaded throughout its length except for a small portion 12 limited by a washer 13; it engages similar threads in the upper head 10 and piston 5, and its end normally closes the outlet orifice 3 in the lower head 2. When the rod is rotated, it first unscrews from a nut 9 forming part of the upper head, thus opening the orifice 3, until the washer 13 abuts against the said nut when further rotation causes the piston 5 to advance and express the contents of the receptacle. The piston is prevented from rotating by means of a rib on the interior of the receptacle, which engages a groove in the piston. In a modification as illustrated in Fig. 3, the piston-rod is attached to the upper head 17 fitted on the end of the receptacle so as to rotate thereon, and a slight endwise motion of the rod is allowed by turning the edge of the head 17 over a shoulder 18 on the end of the receptacle. In this case, the lower head 2 is provided with an internally-threaded orifice, and is made resilient so as to bulge outwards as soon as the screwed end of the piston-rod 7 is disengaged from the orifice.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Refrigerating Apparatus.
Inventor: BANNISTER MAUNSEL CASWELL
IPC: F25B27/00
Filed: 1911-08-04
Granted: 1912-08-06
Abstract: 17,798. Bannister, M. C. Aug. 4. Vapour - engines. - Relates to compression apparatus for refrigerating-plant, in which a part of the ammonia &c. is utilized to drive the motor actuating the compressor. The vapour, instead of being superheated and then sprayed with liquid refrigerant in the cylinders, is saturated before admission to the cylinders. The compressor and its driving-cylinders are arranged as a single closed casing supported by trunnions, whereby loss of vapour is prevented. The compressor cylinder 9 is arranged between two motor cylinders 7, 8 and is secured to two trunnions 1, 2, which rotate in bearings 3, 4, a tight packing being obtained by making the bearing-surfaces long and by the provision of an oil seal 11. Within these trunnions are arranged fixed hollow shafts 5, 6, which convey the ammonia to and from the compressor and the motor cylinders. The gas from the refrigerator flows along the passage 12 in the shaft 6 to a channel 13, which registers at certain times with the inlet 15 of the compressor. The outlet of the compressor similarly registers with the channel 16 leading to a passage 17, which conveys the compressed gas to the condenser. The portion of the ammonia that has been heated is forced along the passage 18 in the shaft 5 to a channel which is brought by the rotation of the apparatus into register with the passages 19 leading to the motor cylinders 7, 8. Saturated ammonia is admitted to the cylinders 7, 8 during the whole stroke 20, so that no expansion and consequent condensation takes place in these cylinders. The exhaust from the cylinders passes to the channel 17. The spaces below the motor cylinders are connected by pipes 23, and springs 27 are arranged to take up shock. To lessen the work of compression, liquid ammonia may be sprayed into the vapour before it enters the compressor cylinder, the proportion of ammonia admitted to the compressor and motor cylinders respectively being controlled by a thermostat. The supply of ammonia to the refrigerator is controlled by a valve 29, Fig. 2, which is opened by the action of a cam-wheel 31 acting on one end of the valve stem 30 and driven from a pulley 47 on the trunnion 2. The outlet from the valve leads to a second valve 38, which is operated by a hand-wheel 44 or by a thermostat, which may consist of a zinc rod 40 mounted on a casing 41 of iron &c. Gas enters the casing from the refrigerator by the pipe 42. When the valve 38 is closed, gas flows past the cutaway portion 37 of the valve stem to the compressor by the pipe 39 so that, when the refrigerator is out of action, the compressor is cooled.
