Title: Improvements in Lacing-fastenings.
Inventor: RITTER-NEE-MERTTENS JENNY
IPC: A47H15/00
Filed: 1911-11-04
Granted: 1912-05-02
Abstract: 24,566. Ritter, [nÚe Merttens], J. Nov. 4, 1910, [Convention date]. Lacing-fastenings. -In lacing-fastenings of the kind bent from strips to form closed frames containing rollers, the ends 13, 15, Fig. 1, of the strips are arranged parallel and overlapping inside the frame, a hook 16 being stamped out of one end 15 and passed through a hole in the other end and turned over. The frame is stepped to prevent the roller 5 from touching the celluloid covering 3, and the lower longitudinal side has an attachment eyelet 14. In a modification, the ends of the strip overlap on one of the smaller sides of the frame. As shown in Fig. 3, the inner overlapping end 15 may have the attachment eyelet 14 which is passed through a slot 19 in the other end 13, the ends being then secured together by hooks 16; or the ends may be secured together by the eyelet 14 fitting into a hole 20, Fig. 4, exactly corresponding to it in size. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also a frame the end pieces of which are formed as half-tubes placed adjacent to each other and constituting an attachment eyelet. The lace roller is formed from a solid piece of aluminium, celluloid, vulcanite, &c., and is provided at its ends with pivot holes. The roller may comprise two capshaped parts fitting one within the other, the perforated bottom of each cap forming an end of the roller. The caps are connected by turning the edge of the outer cap over the bottom of the inner one. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Clearing and Flushing Devices for Waste Pipes.
Inventor: ALLISON CHARLES ARTHUR
IPC: E03C1/306
Filed: 1911-12-04
Granted: 1912-03-14
Abstract: 27,115. Allison, C. A., [Excello Products Co.]. Dec. 4. Cleaning, fluid - pressure processes for. - A flexible cup 1 is retained over the mouth of the waste pipe of sinks, closets, &c. while 'water under presure enters by a pipe 5. A frame having upper and lower rings 10, 9 rests upon the flanged and ribbed edge 7 of the cup. A hooked threaded rod 12 is passed through the grating 16, the upper end of the rod engaging a nut 14 resting on a shoulder 15 on the connecting-piece 2. When, therefore, a nut 19 on the piece 2 is screwed down upon the ring 10, the cup 1 is pressed down to make a tight joint. In the case of a closet, the flange 7 enables the cup to be fixed in the outlet, Fig. 3, so that water under pressure may be used to clear the trap. In clearing the overflow of a lavatory basin, the frame is not used, and the end of the pipe 5 is reciprocated to produce a pumping effect.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Vapour Electric Apparatus.
Inventor: LEBLANC MAURICE AUGUSTE EUGENE
IPC: H01J13/00
Filed: 1912-03-18
Granted: 1913-03-18
Abstract: 6655. Leblanc, M. A. E. March 18. Arc lamps.-In a lamp consisting of a looped vapour tube attached at its ends to open receptacles for mercury or other vaporizable material, as described in Specifications 5596/08 and 21,834/08, the lower parts 4 of the receptacles are made to slope so as to carry air or other gas bubbles away from the vapour tube. The loop is provided with one or more pockets 6 for trapping any gas present. The loop is in a vertical plane at an angle of 45 degrees to the vertical plane of the receptacles 5. Cylindrical bodies of iron, nickel, nickel-plated copper, or other material of good thermal -conductivity, may be placed in the lower parts 4 of the receptacles. which can thus have large cooling- surfaces without containing much mercury. Within the receptacles 5, there may be funnelshaped partitions 9, made with small lateral holes 11 to prevent unequal accumulation of mercury in the receptacles owing to inequalities in the axial apertures of the partitions. To each of the receptacles 5 is attached a lateral tube 13, traversed by a conductor which also passes through the funnel 9. A second conductor 14, entering one of the receptacles, makes contact with the mercury when the lamp is lit, and thereby cuts out a heating-resistance, which is wound on a narrow tube 7 opening into the vapour tube near the highest point of the latter. Vapour generated in this narrow tube serves to start the arc. A strengthening tube or rod 8 connects the receptacles 5.

Title: Process for the Manufacture of Filaments for Electrical Glow Lamps.
Inventor: ALEXANDER JUST
IPC: H01K3/02
Filed: 1913-02-17
Abstract: 4034. Just, A. March 11, 1912, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Filaments of drawn tungsten. Crystalline tungsten, optionally mixed with the amorphous variety, is pressed into rods or bars, sintered, mechanically worked to render it ductile, and finally drawn. Dense crystalline tungsten in a glossy metallic condition may be obtained by reduction or dissociation of volatile compounds, such as halogen and oxyhalogen compounds. If the temperature is kept low, the amorphous metal is also obtained, but with large quantities the product is almost wholly composed of the crystalline variety. A binder may be added before pressing, such as tragacanth, necessitating a decarbonizing operation during or after sintering, or the addition of tungsten oxide.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Quick-action Release Valves for Vacuum Brakes.
Inventor: NOTHIN ERIK JOHAN ANDERS
IPC: B60T13/46
Filed: 1913-03-01
Granted: 1913-10-30
Abstract: 5225. Nothin, E. J. A. March 1. Fduid-pressure.-In a quick-release valve for vacuum brakes, adapted to open communication between the two ends of the brake cylinder during release, and actuated by a diaphragm communicating on one side directly, and on the other side by a non-return valve, with the train-pipe, an additional valve is opened simultaneously with the quick-release valve to vent the chamber at the latter side of the diaphragm to the train-pipe, thus equalizing the pressures on the diaphragm for closing the release valve again. The apparatus is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 1, and a practical form of the valve is shown in Fig. 2. The release valve 2, controlled by a diaphragm or piston 7 acted on by an adjustable spring 4 or a weight, is connected to an additional valve 10 which normally closes the space 8 beneath the diaphragm, which communicates with the trainpipe by a passage 13 and non-return valve 11. In an application of the brakes, the pressures above and below the diaphragm become equalized, and the valves 2, 10 remain closed. When the train-pipe pressure is slightly reduced for release, the diaphragm moves upwards to open the valve 2 to equalize the pressures on the brake piston, and the valve 10 is also opened to allow the pressure in the chamber 8 to leak off. The valve 11 may be controlled by a spring or weight so that it remains closed during a feeble application of the brakes.
