Title: Improvements in or pertaining to Coal Mining Machines.
Inventor: KOVATCH LOTTE
IPC: E21C27/28
Filed: 1910-07-30
Granted: 1911-02-16
Abstract: 18,135. Kovatch, L. Aug. 12, 1909, [Convention date]. Percussive channelling-drills. - A mining- machine mounted on a truck running on an inclined track is adjustably held by a stirrup engaging a yieldably-mounted toothed element. Two pairs of inclined bars 1, 2, connected together, form a track for a wheeled truck 14 carrying the machine 31. The bars are supported on a trestle 5 and secured by a clamp 7 to a stretcher bar 10. The truck has a pedestal 17 through which passes a revoluble shaft 26 having a forked upper end supporting a shaft 33 carried by the machine. The machine may be swung vertically or laterally by handles 45 and for transporting the machine, wheels may be secured to the shaft 33. An extension 19 from the truck carries a spring-pulled bell-crank lever 21 connected to a stirrup 24 engaging a rack 12 yieldably secured to the ends of the bars 2 by springs. The machine is held in a fixed position by the stirrup 24 engaging the rack 12, or when the stirrup is raised by the bell-crank lever 21, the machine moves forward by gravity. The machine is operated by a motor 44 acting through gearing 42, 41, cranks 38, and connecting-rods 37 to reciprocate a sleeve 49, which conveys the motion through springs 61, 62 to a two-part head 57 on a rod 56 connected to the tool-holder 50. When not in use, the machine rests on a frame 19<a> carried by the forked upper end of the shaft 26.

Abstract: 21,575. Mathys, A. W., [Goss Printing Press Co.]. Sept. 16. Rotary machines. - Folded magazines or pamphlets are produced in a rotary machine comprising two sets of printing-decks, each deck comprising a printing-couple double the width of a web and being arranged to print both sides of the web, which is turned and transferred between the two impressions. After printing, the webs from both sets of decks are slit, associated, cut, folded, stapled, and delivered by mechanism arranged between the printing-sets. As shown, two printing-sets A, B print on webs from rolls C, D and E, F, respectively, and each web is treated similarly to the web C, which is printed on one side by a printing-cylinder 4, and is then returned by turning bars 6 to be again printed by the other half of the cylinder. The web is then turned by bars 10, 11 slit longitudinally, and passed with the other printed webs through rollers to a cutting, stapling, and folding and delivery mechanism S. In a modification, the webs from the sets A, B, after association, are led respectively to separate longitudinal folders arranged side by side, and are then led to transverse folding and stapling mechanism at right-angles to the longitudinal folding-mechanism. The axes of the cylinders of the various sets are arranged in the same horizontal planes, and an offset web can be used. In further modifications, a multi-colour deck may be used, which is arranged to print on a web previously printed on by one of the ordinary couples, the web being returned to this couple for printing from a key block in black over the coloured impression. Or this multi-colour deck may print on a separate additional web in colours on both sides. The separate colour cylinders may be tripped if desired. The printing-plates may be arranged with their columns transverse or parallel to the run of the web.

Abstract: 12,830. Pooley & Son, H., and Dobson, J. May 29. Counter scales; indicating-mechanism. -Relates to the construction of a semi - automatic counter scale whereby the shock to the indicating - mechanism caused by applying or removing goods or loose weights is minimized. The weights pan 2 supports on a projection 20 a constant weight 10, which is coupled through lost motion links 17, 18 to a beam 11 fulcrumed on knife-edges 12. The beam 11 is rigid with pendulum-weight levers 14, which are coupled by a link 7 to a pivoted pointer 4. With the scale unloaded, the pointer is at zero and the pendulum-weight levers are inclined to the left.

Abstract: 10,057. Elia, G. E. April 27. Projectiles; projectile fuses.-Relates mainly to bombs intended to be dropped or projected from aerial vessels, and also to bombs discharged from guns, and has for its object to make the bomb explode at a definite distance above the ground. According to the invention, (1) the bomb is provided with a precursory member in combination with a spring-controlled trigger which releases the firing-member when the precursory member touches the ground; and (2) the firing-device is cocked by a parachute, which is retarded relatively to the bomb, or by the bomb itself being retarded relatively to the precursory member. In the form shown in the safe position in Fig. 4, when the bomb is dropped, a parachute C unwinds its cable c<1>, rotates a drum A<2>, and thus draws a trigger A<x> out of a locking recess a<1x>, and at the same time compresses the spring of the hammer a<3>; and the precursory member B unwinds its cable B' and pulls on the other arm of the trigger A<x> overcoming the tension of a spring A<4>. When the weight B touches the ground, the spring A rocks the trigger and releases the hammer which fires the bomb. In a modification, the parachute is omitted, and the drum of the cable B<1> is arranged within the bomb, and by its rotation cocks the hammer spring and unlocks the trigger. The weight B may also contain an explosive charge which is fired by the impact of the weight with the ground. When the bomb is to be discharged from a gun, it. is enclosed in a shell which is burst by a time fuse while in the air, the bomb thus liberated falling and acting as described above.
