Abstract: 24,261. Coyle, T. M. Nov. 1. Ironing, steaming, and damping apparatus for. - In a machine for drying, or for drying and moistening, a pair of conveyers 39, 59, Fig. 4, carry rods on which the articles are hung, the rods being passed from one conveyer to another by rotary arms 70 moving them along curved guides. The housing in which the operation is effected is supplied with air by a fan 17, Fig. 1, opening into a heatdistributing box 19, the air being received through a filter 22 and heater 20; a pipe 28 may lead cold air from the filter to the blower, the exhaust air passing either to the atmosphere or direct to the blower or to the heater. Steam may be supplied through perforated pipes in the casing. By means of sprocket and chain gearing, the upper conveyer is caused to move at a faster rate than the lower, and at the same time arms 70 having recessed ends 71 move round the guide-frames 38 so that the rods are carried round the upper and lower conveyers, sprocket-wheels 37, and guides in circuit. The rods are removed, when the articles are dry, through the gaps formed by the release of latches 75 forming part of the guides 38. Feeding takes place through the same gaps, and is assisted by spring - actuated dogs 79, Fig. 13. Inclined surfaces 82 and springs 83 serve to keep the rods in alinement.

Abstract: 17,733. Edwards, E., and Hanson & Edwards. July 31. Machines for making. -Relates to machines for making wire, hemp, and other ropes, cables, cords, strands, &c., of the kind in which bobbincarriers are supported in a rotating tubular frame. The bobbins 4, Fig. 3, are mounted in carriers 8, which are journaled in brackets 10 secured at intervals apart to the tubular frame 7, and are provided with planet-wheels 12 meshing through intermediate gear-wheels with fixed sun-wheels 11 on a hollow stationary shaft 1, through which the central strand is drawn by a hauling-off drum. The strands pass through guides 16, along inclined grooves 18 in the revolving head 19, to corresponding holes in the lay plate 20. The other end of the frame is mounted on a short rotary shaft provided with fast and loose pulleys and mounted on the stationary shaft, which is clamped on a bracket on the bed of the machine. Antifriction rollers are provided at each end of the frame. The belt fork is connected to a hand-operated rod provided with an incline which, when the rod is moved longitudinally to move the belt on to the idle pulley, applies a brake to the frame. The bobbins are mounted on skewers 6, Fig. 10, which are held in position by staples 14 with offset shanks, which engage annular grooves 6<Î> in the skewers. The staples are held in position by means of springs 14<Î> and their heads 15 are bent over. The rope is guided on to the hauling- off drum by a traversing-guide 67, Figs. 8 and 9, operated by a rotating screw 68 with right and left handed threads, with which two half-nuts 69, 70 having right and left handed threads and mounted on a pivot pin 71 are alternately caused to engage. The casing 72 is mounted to slide on a shaft 73 and is provided with a spindle 74 having a limited longitudinal motion and provided with inclines 77, 81. At the ends of the traverse the spindle 74 comes into contact with the movable stops 80 and brings one or other of the inclines into engagement with one of two spring plungers 78, 79, which rocks the half-nuts to reverse the motion of the guide. The length of traverse can be adjusted for different widths of drum by moving the stops 80. The spindle 74 is provided with a feather 87 which engages a second feather 88 on the rocking member to hold the half-nuts alternately in mesh with the screw 68.

Abstract: 18,384. Parsons, I. H. Aug. 10. Cases, clock; dials. - Relates to hermeticallyclosed cases for electricimpulse clock-movements. The dial B is integral with or separately attached to a main ring casting A of iron or the like, having supporting or fixing feet A<1>, A<2>. A cover C, which is in one piece with or attached to the dial, encloses the clock - movement. By cementing or otherwise suitably securing the protecting-glass D to the ring A, making the joints such as those at B<4> and B<2> air-tight, and hermetically sealing the passages through which the conducting-wires enter, the whole clock-case is made air-tight and weather-proof. The dial may be of skeleton cast-iron type, fitted with opal or like panels. In this instance, the movement with its cover may be secured to the movable central panel. Fig. 4 shows a duct through which the wires may be led into the casing. The wires E, E<1>, enclosed by a flexible tube F which is soldered to a casting D<5> at the back of the dial, pass through holes D', D', D<3>, which are sealed with bitumen or the like. A modified form of duct is described, in which the wires, instead of passing through a flexible tube F, are connected to terminals on an insulating block fixed to the casting.

Title: An Improved Method of and Apparatus for Supplying Finely Divided Material to Grinding or other Apparatus.

IPC: B24B57/00
Filed: 1913-01-15
Granted: 1914-01-15
Abstract: 1210. Hitchcock, H. K. Jan. 15. Sand, grit, and the like, feeding to machines. -Relates to a method of, and apparatus for, handling, grading, and supplying finely-divided materials, for instance sand or other abrasive, mixed in water to grinding or like machines for grinding and smoothing marble, granite, &c., and comprises the use of primary and secondary receptacles in which the material is graded and from which it is supplied to the machine. The grinding-tables 1 are each provided with a secondary grading-cone 5 all of which receive the material from a single primary grading-cone 4 and fresh material from a hopper 17. The sand is supplied to the tables by means of spouts 46, and after leaving the tables is returned by means of a pump 66 to the primary cone wherein it is graded, the coarsest material falling to the bottom and successive layers decreasing in coarseness towards the top; the finest material is led to the fine sand cones 14, and the scummy and pulverized material escapes by a pipe 10. After being graded in the primary vessel, the material is led to the cones 5 wherein it is re-graded, any grade being then taken independently as required to the tables by means of pipes 42, 43, 44, the outlets of which are controlled by valves 47, 48, 49 mounted on a common axis and independently operable by means of ropes 57 adapted to rotate sheaves attached to the valves. The material from the hopper is discharged by means of water from a pipe 28, the discharge being controlled by a valve 34 operated by a lever 33 actuated by a hydrometer 30 to the cone 5, the density of the material thus serving automatically to control the supply of fresh material. In order to clear the pipes 42, 43, &c., when choked, water under pressure is led by pipes 61 to chambers 60 at the ends of the pipes, the outlet of the chambers being normally closed by means of check-valves 62, which are opened by forcibly pulling one of the ropes 57 and thus compressing the packing 58 of the valve 47 &c., and bringing a projection 64 into contact with the check-valve and lifting this. The supply of fine sand, used for the finishing operations, to the fine sand cone 14 is controlled by the weight of this cone, which is hung at the end of a weighted lever 82, a link 85, actuated by the lever, serving, when the cone reaches such a weight that it falls, to close the valve 87 in the trough 13 conveying the sand from the cone 4. The lever is locked in position by a dog 91 actuated to release the lever by a rope 93 when more sand is required in the cone. Water is led to the bottom of the cone by a pipe 97, and the sand is thus graded, and, as it is withdrawn by a valve 100 from the bottom, the grade of sand gradually becomes finer.

The locking-means comprise spring plungers 34, 35, 36 engaging recesses such as 29, Fig. 1, in the rods 10, 11, 12, or pressing balls 32 into engagement therewith. The members 42, 43 are always in engagement with the upper ends of two of the plungers 34, 35, 36 so as to keep two of the rods locked. A gap 44, Fig. 5, between the members 42, 43 is opposite an operating-head 6, Fig. 1, on a lever 5 connected to the lever 1, so as to leave unlocked the rod that is engaged and about to be operated by the head 6. In modified arrangements, the curved lock-actuating members are relatively smaller and act through link - work on the spring plungers.
