Title: Improvements in Dies for use in the Manufacture of Anvil Forgings.
Inventor: HIPKISS FRANK
Filed: 1903-09-02
Granted: 1904-08-04
Abstract: 18,931. Hipkiss, F. Sept. 2. Anvils; forging.-In a die for forging anvils of the shape shown in Fig. 5, the parts which are most readily chipped are made removable so that they can be replaced. The die has two opposite curved sides 11, 12, as shown in the sectional plan Fig. 3. The other two sides are formed with dovetail recesses 17, 18 to receive the removable parts, one of which is shown in elevation and plan in Fig. 6. The removable parts are formed with curved projections 9 for forming the hollows 2, 3 between the feet of the anvil. The removable parts are tapered from the top downwards, and, to facilitate their removal, inclined passages for the insertion of a bar are formed in the die. The die has also a vertical knocking-out hole 26. The outside of the die is tapered, and, to prevent splitting, a ring, preferably of steel, is knocked on over it. In a modification, only the projecting parts 9 are made removable, and are secured in dovetail slots. According to the Provisional Specification, the knocking-out spindle may be formed with a cross - piece in order to remove the detachable parts for cooling as the work is removed.

Title: A New or Improved Machine for Cutting and, or Shearing Metal Sheets or Plates.
Inventor: ABBOTT JAMES
Filed: 1903-10-22
Granted: 1904-05-19
Abstract: 22,867. Abbott, J. Oct. 22. Shearing. - A machine for trimming or shearing m e t a l plates or sheets has pairs of circular shear-blades such as P, R, Fig. 1, mounted on pairs of spindles K, L and H, J arranged at right-angles on a base A and geared together. The sheet is gripped on a slide c moving in a guide Z, and is introduced between one set of blades, which trim the edges of the sheet and feed it forward. The ends of the sheet are then trimmed by feeding it between the second set of blades, the sheet being gripped on a slide h moving on guides Z<1>, Z'. Each blade consists of an internally-coned ring held on its spindle either by a split conical liner and nut, or by a split parallel liner and a pair of coned nuts. The cutting-edge may be formed by a separate renewable ring shrunk on the foundation-ring. The sheet may be gripped on the slide by a cottar d, or by a pivoted block, operated by a handle with an eccentric boss. The handle or the slide may engage with one of the blade spindles, or with a stop on one of the guides, to release the sheet as its rear edge passes between the blades. Two or more grips may be arranged on the slide h, and the slides may be provided with counterweights to return them after the sheet has been released. More than two blades may be arranged on each spindle so that a sheet may be trimmed and divided into two or more parts at one operation. In an alternative form of machine, the pairs of blades are mounted on the overhanging ends of short spindles 9, 10, Fig. 11, mounted in bearing-blocks D (only one of which is shown), the distance between tho pairs of blades being regulated by a right and left handed screw 6 engaging the blocks. Live rollers may be provided un one or more guides to feed the sheet automatically on to the second set of guides.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Stop Motion Mechanism for Power Looms
Inventor: HUGHES GEORGE
Filed: 1903-12-31
Granted: 1904-12-31
Abstract: 28,754. Hughes, G., [Blumer & Co.]. Dec. 31. Loom stop-motions. - When a warp thread breaks, one of a series of plates P<1>, P<11>, which are supported by the warp threads and guided by bars d, d' and braces e, e<1>, e<11>, falls, and stops the vibration of a pivoted batten A.

Title: Improvements relating to Apparatus for Checking Employees Time.
Inventor: GIDDINS WILLIAM ROBERT
Filed: 1904-01-22
Granted: 1905-01-19
Abstract: 1702. Giddins, W. R. Jan. 22. Time checking apparatus for workmen. A machine for indicating the times of entry and exit of employees, and according to Provisional Specification adapted also for checking watchmen, has one arrangement for use at the beginning and end of working hours, and another for use during working hours. Figs. 1 and 4 show the first arrangement, which consists of a fixed cylinder B<1>, outside which are a number of vertical grooves or slots B', arranged in groups. A cylindrical piece D slides over the upper part of these grooves B', and has a slot D' in it for each group of grooves B'. Below this slide D the grooves B' are covered with glass or the like H, and at the bottom of the glass is a shelf N having a slit N' corresponding to each groove and capable of slight rotation. This shelf N is kept with its slits N' between the grooves B' by a spring O<3>, but by turning a vertical shaft O connected to the shelf N by a crank O<1> and link 0', the shelf slits N' can be brought inside the grooves B<2>. Each employee is provided with a check or disc S having a ridge or ridges on it, and a cut in its edge, each check passing through one slit D' in the outer sliding piece D. This latter is moved periodically, being connected to a vertical spindle E, around which is coiled a spring J. On the upper end of this spindle is mounted a toothed quadrant K, with which one end of a bent pivoted lever L engages. The other end of this lever is moved periodically by projections M' on a disc M fixed to the hour wheel of a clock, a pawl L<4> stopping the quadrant K when each slit D<2> in the outer sliding piece D has moved in front of the next groove B'. The groove B' into which an employee's check falls indicates the time when it was dropped in. This time having been noted, the shelf N is moved, allowing the check to fall to the bottom A and be removed. The apparatus may be made in forms other than circular. Fig. 8 shows the arrangement for indicating absence during working hours. A number of sloping boxes T, one above the other, are provided, at the bottom of which are removable glass slides T<2> covered by a door T<3>. A blind U hangs over the mouths T' of these boxes, from a roller. From this blind U a weighted inclined block Z' hangs, one box below the blind. At the front of the casing, above the boxes, is a slit Z<1>, and a check dropped by a workman through this slit can only fall into the box between the blind U and its block Z'. The blind U is lowered periodically through the space of one box, by a ratchet-wheel V, the pawl V<1> of which is released by pins W on a clock-driven disc W<1>. Each box T indicates a particular time, and different kinds of discs are used for entry and exit, or two machines may be employed. This apparatus may be placed in the stand of the former.

Granted: 1904-07-28
Abstract: 12,995. Vietmeyer, A., and Vietmeyer, F. W. June 8. Stoppers; capsules, bottle.-A stopper or closure for bottles consists of a cap 1, Fig. 6, formed with two or more depending arms 2, and provided with a pad or disc 4 of cork, india-rubber, &c. The cap is drawn or otherwise formed from a tin-plate blank, such as shown in Fig. 1, the blank having two or more projecting arms, which are turned down, and, at the same time, formed with stiffening-ribs 3, Fig. 6. The washer 4 may be secured by any known means, such as by teeth 5, which are bent inwards to engage the washer. The closure is secured by bending the ends of the arms under the shoulder 10 of the bottle neck, the arms being adapted to resist the strain from any internal pressure, while the inturned ends are adapted to resist any bending movement from the same cause. The closure may be applied by any suitable known machine ; for instance, it may be applied with the aid of a die 8, Fig. 6, and movable members 9, the latter being adapted to bend the ends of the arms under the shoulder 10. The closure is released by bending one of the arms 2 outwards, until it is disengaged. When it is desired to re-use the closure, the neck of the bottle is formed with recesses &c. 13, Fig. 8, to permit the passage of the inturned ends of the arms 2 ; in this case, a rotary movement is also necessary in securing and releasing the closure.
