Title: Improvements in or relating to Attachments for Protecting Cylindrical Cops or Masses of Thread during Transport and for use during Unwinding.
Inventor: WEST JOHN WILLEY
IPC: B65H75/22
Filed: 1911-12-05
Granted: 1912-08-29
Abstract: 27,250. West, J. W. March 16, [Convention date]. C o p s . - Cylindrical cops or masses of thread wound on to paper or like tubes are provided with heads 10, which prevent the thread from catching during unwinding Each head has a tubular stem 12 which frictionally engages the tube 7 and a depending flange 16 which forms, with the central stem, an annular recess for the reception of the end of the cop 6. The bottom of each recess is inclined as shown and lined with felt or other soft and yielding material 20 to prevent the thread from breaking away at the corners of the cop; the combined length of the stems is less than the length of the tube, so that, as the diameter of the cop decreases, the upper head and the cop descend by gravity and keep the cowers of the cop always in contact with the felt. To protect the thread during transport, a cylindrical shell 22 is held between the heads by the flanges 16.

Granted: 1912-07-04
Abstract: 28,157. Gjerstrup, T. F. L., and Olsen, J. A. Dec. 14. Labelling. - In machines for applying labels to the necks of bottles 1 &c., these are fed down an inclined shoot 2 to a plate 10 carried by a rod 9, which is lifted by a cam 4 to raise the bottles to ways 3, and endless bands 11 roll the bottles along the ways 3 to meet a gummed label overhanging a plate 25; a brush 29 applies one end of the label to the bottle, and brushes 32, 33 complete affixation. The labels 44 are separated from a pile, gummed, and fed to the plate 25 by known devices. The label-separator is geared to a shaft 39, Fig. 2, which is caused to revolve when a bottle is raised by the plate 10, by the bottle raising a rod 36, which rocks a lever 37 and so slides the shaft 39 until a coupling 38 connects it to a rotating shaft 40. A segment 28 pivoted at 30 carries the brush 29 and is lifted by the neck of a passing bottle against the action of a spring 31, which then presses one end of a label on the bottle and grips it so as to cause its withdrawal from beneath a weighted plate 27. The brush 32 swings about a pivot 34 against the action of a spring 47 until it reaches a stop 35, and the brush 33 is fixed.

Abstract: 17,428. Rigby, T., and Wetcarbonising, Ltd. July 26. Exhaust, treating.- A wet-carbonizing plant is driven by a steamengine, the exhaust being used to heat parts of the plant such as the carbonizers in which it is condensed, and subsequently being fed to the boilers or used for heating the feed-water. In the arrangement shown, an engine a receives steam at 300 lb. per square inch from boilers fired with gas made from the wet-carbonized peat, and the exhaust steam at 190 lb. per square inch passes through a pipe c to the jacket of carbonizers b, excess being conveyed to other apparatus, such as a heater g for gas-producer &c. blast, a briquet press h, and low-pressure engines e. The exhaust from these is condensed in heating other parts of the plant, such as evaporators for ammonium sulphate, Schulze drying-apparatus for peat, and pre-heaters for the furnace-air supply; or that from the press h may be delivered to a gas-producer. Specifications 17,610/11, 19,330/11, [both in Class 55(i), Coking &c.], and 24,748/11, [Class 50, Fuel, Manufacture of], are referred to.

Abstract: 18,192. L÷fgren, A. O. M. Aug. 8, 1911, [Convention date]. Vaporizing-apparatus. - In vaporizing-apparatus for petroleum stoves, incandescent lamps, &c., of the kind comprising a main vaporizer and an additional vaporizer provided with two outlets, one directed towards the main vaporizer and the other towards the additional vaporizer, both outlets 15, 16 are in the same burner nozzle 9 and are in alinement. The additional vaporizer 8 comprises a thin-walled pipe of small diameter arranged spirally and one or more enlargements 19, 20, and is heated initially by a match placed in the yielding fork 17. The main vaporizer 2 comprises two U-shaped pipes 5, which are connected at their upper parts by an annular pipe 7 formed integral with or fixed to the upper side of the dispersing-plate 6. Fuel passes from the reservoir to the vaporizers 2, 8 through a common pipe 10 provided with a valve 13, which closes the communication between the vaporizer 2 and the reservoir when the communication between the vaporizer 8 and the reservoir is open, and vice versa. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also an additional vaporizer 19, Fig. 1 (Cancelled), of smaller cross-section than the supply pipe 11, but of large surface. The vaporizer 19 is formed by bending a thin metal plate, Fig. 3 (Cancelled), along the lines 22, 23, 24 after one or more pieces of fine wire cloth 21 have been placed as shown. Alternatively, the pipe 11 may be filled with pulverulent or granular material, or a corrugated or chequered plate, or a fine-wire cloth may be placed in it. The vaporizers 2, 8 may communicate with the reservoir by separate pipes with independent valves, or the valve 13 need not be a double valve. The outlets 15, 16 may be in separate nozzles. This matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted, but forms the subject - matter of Specification 26,861/12.

Abstract: 30,059. Nichotson, F. H. March 8, [Convention date]. Electro-magnetic switches.-An electric relay comprises a pivotally-mounted U-shaped receptacle containing mercury or other conducting- liquid, the base portion 1 of which is provided with leading-in wires 14, 15 through which an electric current is led to the conducting-liquid, this current co-operating with a magnetic flux traversing the central portion of the bore of the receptacle in order to produce a displacement of the liquid and consequent overbalancing of the receptacle to operate the relay contacts. The receptacle is mounted on a U-shaped yoke 6 carried by a frame 7 which is pivotally mounted in supports 11 by means of trunnions 8, 9. The relay contacts 22, 23 are carried by an arm 24 mounted on the frame 7. The receptacle 1 and frame 7 are maintained in a middle position by counterweights 16, 17 carried by brackets 18, 19 loosely mounted on the trunnion 8, both counterweights normally resting on supports 20, 21. When the frame 7 is tilted in either direction, the vertical portion of the frame engages a downward extension of one of the brackets and displaces the corresponding counterweight which then acts as a restoring force. The relay can be arranged to oscillate in one direction only from a middle position, and can be operated by direct or alternating currents. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the conducting liquids may be arranged to connect or disconnect the relay contacts directly; this subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
