Title: A Trouser Stretching Device.
Inventor: BECKMANN LUDWIG AUGUST
Filed: 1906-03-31
Granted: 1906-10-11
Abstract: 7805. Beckmann, L. A. March 31. Trouser stretchers.-Relates to a trouser stretcher of the foldable type wherein the folding of two pivoted frames causes the stretching. Ia Fig. 5, the two frames a, b are shown pivoted at their inner ends to the axis of a roller c, each of the frames having a pair of clamping-members. Those of the frame b consist of an upper member l, forming three sides of a rectangle, pivoted to the frame at y, z, this member acting in conjunction with a cross-piece f which connects the sides of the frame and forms the second member. On the right-hand side, the trousers are merely passed over a roller d having fixed pivots in the frame, and clamped between the parts l, f, by the aid of rings n which lock the upper member down when slid along. The clamping-members of the frame a consist of a lower member g, similar to the member l, and pivoted at its ends to a roller e, and an upper member m, also similar to the member l, and pivoted to the lower member g. The pivots of the roller e are free to slide in longitudinal slots in the frame a, and the free side of clamp g has a lath extension x, which slides at both ends on the frame. The whole of the clamping-apparatus on the left side of the figure is thus slidable laterally, the position when the trousers are turned over the roller e and clamped being shown in Fig. 7. Folding of the frames causes the parts e, m, g to be drawn towards the roller c against the action of.a a pair of springs h, fixed at the outer end to the frame a and at the inner end to the sliding lath on the member g. The frames are held together by spring yokes i, which form feet upon which the folded stretcher may be stood. '

Abstract: 8368. Lloyd, W., Lloyd, J., and Nicholson, S. T. May 7, 1906, [date applied, for under Patents Act, 1901]. Steam traps.-Relates to blow-out apparatus for steam separators. According to the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the discharge valve G is actuated by steam admitted to a cylinder 16 through a passage 19 and valve 20. This valve is normally kept closed by a spring 24, Figs. 3 and 4, and is opened automatically from a shaft 27 by a weighted lever 28. The float-lever 31 is connected with the lever 28 by a pin 33 and slot. With the parts in the position shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the valve 20 is closed and the lever 28 is held in the raised position by a catch-lever 36. The rising of the float 32 disengages the catch 36 by means of a roller 38, thereby allowing the weight 28 to fall and open the valve. The lever 22 carrying the valve 20 is now kept in the raised position by a spring catch 39, Fig. 4, which is connected to a crank 43 on the shaft 27. The falling of the float raises the lever 28 until the catch 36 again locks the lever. Simultaneously, the catch 39 is withdrawn and the valve 20 closes. In a modification, the discharge valve is operated directly from the lever 22. For large apparatus, the valve E opening into the collecting-chamber D is fitted with by-pass openings a, b, Fig. 1<a>, for equalizing the pressure on both sides of the valve. These openings are controlled by the end of the spindle e, which passes through the top of the separator and terminates in a hand-wheel f<1> .

Granted: 1907-10-17
Abstract: 9408. Stewart, M. April 23. Oil gas; fixing illuminating-constituents.-Liquid fuel, such as gasolene, is gasified and converted into a fixed or superheated gas by passing under pressure through a coil C<3> in the exhaust chamber A of an internal-combustion engine, and thence through an auxiliary chamber F, to which a portion of the exhaust gases is also admitted. The liquid enters the chamber F in a spheroidal condition. The superheated gas is led by the pipe D<1> to the mixing-device of the engine. The pressure of the exhaust gases in the chamber A actuates the needle ,valve g by means of the diaphragms H, H<1> and multiplying lever J, admitting liquid from the coil to the chamber F and also raising the valve G<1> to admit a part of the exhaust gases. The needle valve is shaped as shown to deflect the liquid downwards against the hot gases. The remainder of the exhaust passes through the pipe, E<1> to the atmosphere or to a silencer. If the exhaust gases are cut off, the pressure of gas in the chamber F distends the diaphragms and closes the valves.
