Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 4064. King's Norton Metal Co., Bayliss, T. A.,* Smith, H. Melville-, and Brownsdon, H. W. Feb. 18. Cleaning.-Relates to the removal of metallic fouling from the bores of guns by means of ammoniacal or other solutions, and consists in thoroughly agitating the solution in contact with the surface under treatment. According to one method, the solution is agitated by means of a rod provided with a perforated wooden plug of less diameter than the bore, the plug having radial - bristle brushes if necessary; a second method consists in inserting within the bore an iron pipe, closed at one end and provided with line perforations. Radial pins keep the pipe centrally in position. The open end of the pipe is connected to a pump which draws the solution from a tank into which the solution flows after being forced against the bore of the gun.

Inventor: ATKINSON HENRY
IPC: B27B25/04
Filed: 1910-04-30
Granted: 1911-03-02
Abstract: 10,618. Atkinson, H. April 30. Work - feeding devices.-Work is fed to wood-sawing or other cutting machines by studs 7, slidably mounted in the double links of an endless chain 4 passing over chain-wheels carried by a fence 3 and travelling in a groove 5 in the side of the fence. Fig. 21 shows a plan view of the saw-bench, and Fig. 22 an horizontal section through the fence 3. The studs 7 are projected to their full extent, to engage the material to be sawn, by an inclined plate 9 secured to the fence 3, and, as the material approaches the saw 2, are withdrawn a distance-sufficient to allow them to clear it, while remaining in engagement with the work, by an inclined plate 10 engaging their heads 7'. On passing the saw, the studs are totally retracted by a second inclined plate 8 secured to the fence 3. The plate 10 is mounted so as to have its inclination automatically adjusted when the fence 3 is displaced by securing it to two studs 11, 12, Figs. 7 and 10, the studs 11 being rotatably mounted in the fence 3 and the stud 12 passing through a curved slot 16 in the fence 3 into an eye 18<1> in a bolt 18 adjustably carried by a standard 17 on the bench 1. When the plate 10 is required to be adjusted longitudinally in order that saws of various diameters may be used, the bearing 14 and curved slot 16 are formed in a plate 21, Fig. 18, slidably mounted in a slot 22 in the upper wall of the fence 3 and secured in position by a screw 23. The fence 3 can be moved towards or away from the saw by means of a hand-wheel 31 operating through a screwed rod 33, an arm 34, a rocking shaft 24, crank-arms 27, 28 and links 29, 30. The chain 4 is driven by connecting the shaft of the rear chain-wheel to the driving-shaft 36 by a square sleeve 39. In other arrangements the feedchain may be arranged to return below the bench, or may be arranged in front or behind the saw, in which case all three inclined plates may not be necessary.
