Title: Improvements in and relating to Seams for Sewed Articles.
Inventor: ARBETTER WOLF
Filed: 1908-11-10
Granted: 1909-02-11
Abstract: 24,064. Arbetter, W. Nov. 10. Seams.-A blind-stitch seam, for securing together a base-layer of fabric and one or more superimposed layers presenting an edge thereon, is designed to be made by a machine of the general type described in Specification No. 19,080, A.D. 1906, for which purpose the presser - foot and guides are so altered as to ensure that the needle enters the superimposed layer at each stitch, and in the case of the diagonal stitch emerges from beneath or at the edge of the layer. The needle first enters the upper layer at the point c and emerges from beneath the edge d thereof, thus presenting a loop f which is entered by the looper thread g. The needle is then retracted and moved into a position parallel to the edge, whereupon it again enters the upper layer at h and emerges to form a loop i which is entered by the looper thread g, the loop of needle thread e being parallel to the edge d. The feed then takes place and the operation is repeated. To secure the two layers together, one of the two needle loops enters the base - layer, preferably without emerging from the lower surface thereof. As shown, only the diagonal stitch thus enters the base layer. The seam, although illustrated as being made by a machine of the above type, which has a curved needle and a rotary hook, may be formed by any suitable stitch-forming mechanism.

Granted: 1909-06-03
Abstract: 2026. Lentz, H. Feb. 4, 1908, [Convention date]. Packing, metallic; stuffing - boxes, substitutes for.-A stuffing-box for a sliding rod, spindle, or shaft contains a number of rings c held in a twopart sleeve e, so as to enable the rings and sleeve to be mounted on the shaft before this is placed in position. The rings are in two parts connected by segments g, which are secured by screws j. The two parts of the sleeve are drawn together by cotter-pins, and a tongue s may be formed on one part to enter into a groove in the second part. The exterior surface of the sleeve is conical, to fit into a similar surface on the cylinder, or on a case t fitted in the cylinder. An appropriate sealing-material may be used between the conical surfaces. The fluid exerts an axial pressure on the rings to keep them against the walls k of partitions in the sleeve; on a large fall of pressure in the cylinder, the rings may move to the opposite walls of the partitions, whereupon any fluid inside the sleeve can return to the cylinder past mortises m cut in the rings. A drain n may be connected to one of the partitions. The stuffing-box may be used for separating vessels holding different fluids.

Title: Improvements relating to Spring Elements for Resilient Wheels and the like.
Inventor: PARSONS RICHARD CLERE
IPC: B60B9/26
Filed: 1909-02-05
Granted: 1910-01-27
Abstract: 2846. Parsons, R. C. Feb. 5. Connexions a n d attachments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs; helical springs.- Relates to spring- elements in wheels of the kind described in Specification 16,110/06, in which helical springs rigidly secured at one end to the inner rim are surrounded by an outer creeping rigid rim. The invention comprises means for securing the ends of the springs and for preventing undue stressing. Each spring a, Fig. 3, is secured by means of solder in a tunnel-like or dovetailed recess d in the seat c and in the head m. A rod v secured to the seat projects into a tubular part n of the heel in order to prevent distortion of the spring. The parts c and m are aluminium castings, and the solder or other metal having a fusing point sufficiently low not to affect the temper of the spring is poured in through apertures e, Fig. 9. The inclination of the part x, y leading from the mouth of the tunnel gradually diminishes in such a manner as to avoid any stressing of the spring at this part greater than elsewhere. The seat may be secured to the rim by ordinary means, or it may be formed with projections h engaging recesses in the rim and with lugs g which are held in pairs by the beads of bolts passing between the seats. The compression of the spring is limited either by the engagement of the end of the rod v with the plate, or by the engagement of the tubular part n with the end of the conical part w of the seat c, and accidental extension may be prevented by the engagement of a head formed on the part v with two inwardly-extending projections on the end of the part n. In the last case the two parts v, n are fitted one within the other by a turning movement.
