Granted: 1912-02-07
Abstract: 3050. Bridge, R. Feb. 7. Cutting tubes transversely to their length. -Relates to a machine of lathe-like type for cutting-up india-rubber tubes into rings, and comprises the use of several mandrels k detachably mounted in face-plates i, j adapted to be rotated intermittently to carry the tubes into and out of the cutting position, the mandrels themselves being independently rotated during the cutting operation. The mandrels k are held in position by rotatable sockets s and spring poppet - heads q, the sockets being journaled in the face-plate i and adapted to be driven, when in the cutting position, by continuously-driven gear wheels u acting through. clutches u<1> when passing over a corresponding portion of a cam-plate t.

Abstract: 16,373. Pictet, R. P. July 16, 1910, [Convention date]. [Addition to 13,397/11.] Carbon; hydrogen.-In a development of the process described in the parent Specification, according to which hydrogen and soot are made by distilling crude or commercial petroleum, tar oils, or other suitable hydrocarbons and continuously heating the vapours to nearly 1350‹C., and of the process described in Specification 14,703/11, according to which the hydrogen is produced plus further hydrogen and carbon monoxide, at the expense of all or part of the soot, by distilling water with the petroleum, the petroleum is distilled together with water vapour with which oxygen has been intimately mixed previously. The combination of the carbon and oxygen to form carbon monoxide gives sufficient heat to decompose the whole of the water vapour, whereas previously only a partial decomposition took place. The gaseous product is a mixture of pure hydrogen and pure carbon monoxide.

Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 4574. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. April 27, 1911, [Convention date]. Field carriages; recoil apparatus; limbers.- Consists in the construction described below, which enables a field carriage having an allround training-arc to be converted quickly into a stationary centre-pivot mounting, when the wheels are removed. The invention also comprises a limber provided with a winch, by means of which the gun-carriage wheels are lifted off the ground before removal. Fig. 1 shows the gun and carriage ready for use as a field gun. Figs. 5 and 7 are respectively a side elevation and plan of the same carriage converted into a fixed centre-pivot mount. The gun B and slide A are pivoted upon trunnions a<1> in an upper carriage C, which carriage is rotatable through a horizontal angle of 360 degrees upon a ball bearing F, Fig. 7, in the under-carriage E. The training-arc e<3> is formed on the inner edge of the lower ring e<2> of the ball bearing. Two stays N are pivoted to the carriage E at n<1>, and are normally housed alongside the trail K, as shown in Fig. 1. Two other stays M, carrying recoil spades m<1>, are pivoted at p<2> to the ends of a transverse rocking spindle P, mounted in an eye e<7> on the front of the carriage E. In the travelling position, the stays Mare swung together, beneath the gun-barrel B, and slightly upwards upon the spindle P, and are then secured by a transverse bolt to a lug a<3> on the gun-barrel. The strain is thus taken off the elevating-gear. To change from the position shown in Fig. 1 to that shown in Fig. 5, the stays M, N are spread apart, and are secured by jointed struts m<2>, n<2>, which are held rigid by sleeves m<3>, n<3> passed over the joints. The hook of the limber winch is then connected to the trail eye k<2>, and the trail is lifted by the winch until the spades m<1> enter the ground and the wheels E are raised therefrom. The wheels J, together with half the axle i<1> in each case, are dismounted and connected by yokes n<4> to the ends of the stays N, as shown in Fig. 7, and the carriage is finally lowered into the position shown in Fig. 5. In a modification, the stays N may, for field-gun firing, be connected rigidly to the rear end of the trail so as to lay flat upon the ground and form a V - shaped rearward extension of the trail.

Beetling. - Relates to beetling- machines of the kind described in Specification 9805/07 in which beetling-blocks are carried by pistons slidable in cylinders and actuated by compressed air, and consists (1) of means for cushioning the piston in its downward movement and for preventing the formation of a vacuum behind it on its return stroke, and (2) of improved means for securing the wooden beetling- blocks to the piston heads. The piston a, carrying the beetling-block d', slides in a cylinder b andis formed with an enlarged head a<1>. An air port c<1> in a plug c allows air to escape on the downward movement of the piston until the port c<1> is cut off by the part a<1>, whereupon the remaining air forms a cushion. The improvements consist in the formation of a groove a<3> in the part a<1> to increase the amount of air trapped, and the provision of a check valve d for preventing the formation of a vacuum on the upward stroke. The shank of the block d' is made with a hole e through which a bolt h is passed. The head h<1> of the bolt bears against a metal plate i sunk in the shank of the block. The other end of the bolt is provided with a spring washer j and is secured by a nut k.

Abstract: 9524. Warwick Machinery Co., [General ELectric Co.]. April 22. Plant. - A turbine comprising a single stage 2 and a turbine comprising two stages 3, 4, are mounted upon a common shaft 1. Steam is admitted from a supply pipe 7 through a piston valve 13, controlled by a speed governor 12, to a pipe 14 leading to the stage 2. A valve 17 is connected to a piston 18 subjected to the pressure of the steam exhausted from the stage 2 so that a constant exhaust pressure is maintained. The steam then passes to a conduit 25 leading to the heating system or the like. Should the demand of the heating system be small, a valve 22 in a pipe 14<a> is opened, whereupon a proportion of the exhaust steam is admitted to the stages 3, 4. At this point the intermediate buckets of the stage 3 are omitted. If the load on the turbine is too great for the stage 2, the valve 13 is further depressed, whereupon live steam is admitted direct to the stages 3, 4 through ports 15. By closing a valve 16 the stage 2 can be entirely cut out. In this case exhaust steam is supplied to the heating system by opening a valve 27 in a pipe 26.
