Patent GB-189913735-A (GB)
Title: Method of and Apparatus for Shaping, Embossing, and Uniting Metal Objects.
Filed: 1899-07-03
Granted: 1900-04-07
Abstract: 13,735. Abel, C. D., [Gesellschaft f³r Huber Pressung C. Huber & Co.]. July 3. Stamping and embossing; punching. - Metal objects or articles are shaped, embossed, punched, or united by means of liquid pressure. Fig. 1 shows the manner in which this method is applied in jointing or uniting the tubes B, C, D, E to the frame A of a cycle. The tubes, which are closed at the inner ends, are placed in position in the frame, as shown, and the outer ends of the joints are lightly packed by a suitable packing F, which preferably envelopes the frame. The whole is then submitted to liquid pressure, which acts internally and externally, and secures the parts together. Gun barrels, ordnance, and pressure chambers built of concentric tubes may be thus jointed. Metal articles may be also thus coated with another metal. In moulding or embossing the article G, Fig. 4, the part to be embossed is surrounded by a suitably-packed mould o, which, in the arrangement shown, may be surrounded by a chamber o<1> which communicates with the interior of the mould by apertures o<3>, so that, when pressure is applied, a plastic or liquid substance P contained in the mould will gradually pass through the apertures into the chamber o<1>, and thus effect the gradual formation of the embossment, and so prevent the tearing of the metal. Or, instead of this arrangement, moulds of increasing sizes may be used in succession. Fig. 5 shows an arrangement for punching and embossing, the mould S having sharp-edged perforations Q' which, when pressure is applied, serve to punch the article. In like manner, printing-surfaces or stereotype plates may be obtained from engraved moulds or types. 13,804. Justice, P. M., [Emerson Electric Manufacturing Co.]. July 4. Lathes.-Relates to means for driving the shaft of a piece of machinery from the armature of an electric motor, and for simultaneously disengaging the motor and stopping the driven shaft. While specially applicable to sewing-machines, the invention may also be applied to other machines, such as small lathes. The armature is mounted on a sleeve H, running on a fixed hollow shaft G, and carrying at one end a friction disc J, which can be brought into engagement with a friction-wheel D on the driven shaft C by moving the armature longitudinally on the shaft G. This movement is effected by a lever L, pivoted at l to the motor frame, and carrying at one end a spring-pressed thimble M, bearing against a rod K, in connection with the disc J. On releasing the lever L, the return movement of the armature is brought about by the attraction of the field magnets of the motor. The off movement of the lever L applies a brake 0 to the friction-wheel D, and quickiy stops the driven shaft. The means employed for shifting the armature may be somewhat modified.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Soldering or Joining the Seams of Can-bodies.
Inventor: BERRY GEORGE WILLIAM
Filed: 1902-02-17
Granted: 1902-10-02
Abstract: 3992. Berry, G. W. Feb. 17. Soldering; metal, sheet, seaming and joining.- Consists in providing mechanical means for soldering or joining the seams of can bodies of various sizes. Figs. 2 and 3 show views of the machine at right-angles to each other, and Fig. 7 a can body in position upon a cylinder with ejecting-wires in place. Partially-formed metal blanks h are slid upon cylinders d. The upper edges of the blanks are uppermost, while the inner overlapping edges abut against spring lugs 13 which project through the cylinder. Clamps c are caused to grip the can by their connection with transversely-moving rods f, g, which are actuated from the foot-lever l by stops p and bell-crank levers r. The return motion of the clamp is effected by springs. Guides 9, preferably of slate or aluminium, are then lowered upon the can bodies through the pedal-lever l and the rods o, wires s, for ejecting the can bodies, being at the same time drawn back. Soldering-irons k, having been duly heated and the adjacent edges of the bodies moistened with a suitable flux, solder is dropped between the guides when the vertically-moving bar 20 and the irons which it carries are depressed by the hand-lever 27 and are moved over the joint to be soldered. Finally, by depressing the pedal, the guide-plates are raised, the clamps released, and the ejector wires drawn forward to cast the can body from the cylinder to an inclined shoot 32. The wire ejectors s are mounted in standards upon reciprocating bars integral with blocks v, one of which is adapted to be drawn forward along a guide-rail w by a spring hook x on a traveller y when the pedal l is depressed. On the completion of the forward movement of the traveller, the hook comes in contact with a lug z, and is disengaged from the block v when, by means of a spring, the ejectors are returned. When the next can body is in position, and the spring trip catch 12 released, the traveller returns rearwardly and the spring catch x, coming in contact with the bevelled edge of the block v, slides up and slips over it, being then ready for the next forward movement. The forward ends of the ejector wires are bevelled to enable them to pass between the can body and cylinder. The cylinders are formed with stop pins against which the can bodies abut, and also with hooks to retain the can bodies temporarily upon the cylinders. The hollow soldering-irons are supplied with gas through flexible connections. The space between the guides 9 determines the width of the seams, each of the guides being made laterally adjustable. Solder may be fed by hand in lumps ; or lumps may be cut from lengths by the cutter 35 according to requirements. The faces of the cylinders where the adjacent edges of the can body meet are formed with strips of slate or aluminium. The irons are cleaned by weak acid contained in vessels 41, hand-levers for raising the vessels being provided. By substituting various sized cylinders, differently - sized cans may be operate upon.
