In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a bar B bolted to the traverse bar D and extending beneath the rollers carries the guides A; or a number of bars carrying guides and bolted to the traverse bar may be placed beneath the roller bosses. In another construction, the guides are carried by cross-arms secured to bars arranged between the top and bottom rollers and bolted to the traverse rail, the bars being placed in the spaces between the necks of the .rollers or in the spaces between the roller ends over the roller stands and under the cap bars. In any of the above constructions, the bars carrying the guides may be pivoted to a fixed bar and to a bar extending from the traverse rail, so that they oscillate beneath the rollers, the front end having a greater traverse than the back end. The sliver guides are level with the nip of the rollers and are preferably shaped to extend backwards and forwards as close to the rollers as possible, the width of the back of one guide being equal to that of the front of the immediately preceding one. According to the Provisional Specification, the sliver guides may be in the form of tapering funnels.

Abstract: 15,842. Lester, H. July 8. Holders with clamping-devices for brushes, mops, &c.-A clamp for fixing a scrubbing- brush to a long handle comprises an horizontal plate 1 with an upstanding socket 2 for the handle and three or more depending lugs 3 between which the brush stock is clamped by screws 4. A modification in which the lugs on one side of the plate 1 have inwardly-directed points in place of the screws is also provided with upstanding lugs 6 bored to receive the ends of a revoluble cranked bar 7 for the attachment of a house-flannel. This is passed between the bar and the clamp, and is either made into an endless band by securing its ends together after threading an oblong loop thereon, or has its end secured to the loop, which may be suspended on the upper of two hooks on the handle when the brush is in use, or on the lower hook when the flannel is to be used for mopping up water. In the latter position, the cranked bar 7 drops forward and throws the flannel nearer to the floor. When the flannel is twisted to wring it, the material slides up to the centre of the bar and tearing of its sides is avoided.

Abstract: 25,628. Richardson, W. Nov. 17. Cleaning, fluid-pressure processes for. - An apparatus for cleaning beer and like pipes comprises a receptacle x in which a suitable chemical is placed, and a valve or cock j, by which water is first passed from a supply pipe a through the receptacle x, port l, and pipe m to the pipes to be cleaned, and is afterwards passed direct to the pipe m, the receptacle x being cut off. Finally, a third position of the cock cuts off the water supply, and drains the receptacle x and pipe m through an outlet o. A pressure-reducing valve e is introduced between the supply-pipe a and the valve j. The valve e comprises a piston raised by fluid pressure against the action of an adjustable spring f, and adapted to uncover a port g<1> admitting fluid to the back of the piston, before the port d is wholly uncovered.

Abstract: 28,059. Krag, O. H. J. Dec. 13. Breech actions, sliding breech-block; breech actions, sliding barrel and breech-bloek; trigger guards; barrels.-Relates to guns having a sliding trigger guard for hand operation, and consists (1) in so fitting the barrel, breech slide, and trigger guard to the frame that they can be readily assembled and disassembled, (2) in special means for releasing the detent which holds the breech open when the magazine is empty, and (3) in a safety device. The breech slide D, shown separately in Fig. 12, and the trigger guard E, Fig. 23<a>, both slide in grooves in the frame A, Fig. 19. The underside of the barrel B has a lug z fitting between shoulders a<3>, a<4> on the frame, as shown in Fig. 5, and is held down by the engagement of ribs on the breech slide and trigger guard with grooves formed by a T-shaped rib b<1>, Figs. 14 and 15, beneath the barrel. This rib has an interrupted part b<0>, so that when both the trigger guard and breech slide are drawn back for a short distance, the barrel can be tilted upwards, as shown in Fig. 6, and removed. In the construction shown in Fig. 5, the lug z fits tightly between the lugs a<3>, a<4>, and therefore the barrel is fixed against longitudinal movement, but in the modifications shown in Fig. 7, and in Figs. 10 and 11, the barrel is capable of a small recoil to effect the unlocking. In the modification shown in Fig. 7, the breech slide is locked by levers W pivoted to the frame and held in engagement with rounded notches in the slide by lugs b' on the barrel; a short recoil of the barrel releases the levers, which are hence depressed by the backward pressure of the breech slide. In the modification shown in Figs. 10 and 11, the breech slide is locked by the engagement of an inclined shoulder b<12> with a corresponding shoulder on the barrel. At the end of a short recoil, the barrel tilts downwards as shown in Fig. 11, sufficiently to release the breech slide. The gun is provided with a vertically sliding detent T, Figs. 4 and 4<a>, for holding the breech open when the magazine is empty. A prong e<2> on the sliding trigger guard engages an inclined slot t<0> in this detent in such a manner that the pulling back of the guard releases the detent. A safety device P, Fig. 4, is provided acting upon the sear-actuating member N. When this member N is locked in the raised position with its lug n<2> in engagement with the breech slide, both the breech slide and the trigger guard are locked in position. A thumb-piece M, Fig. 4, at the sido of the frame forms an auxiliary trigger.

Abstract: 28,100. MacGregor, J. June 11, 1912. Counters, arrangements of.-Relates to means for registering the time a billiard table is in use, and comprises a revolution counter for registering hours and a co-axial graduated wheel for registering minutes. The device is set in operation by the removal from the table of an obstruction, or by the switching-on of the light. The counter F, Fig. 1, is connected to the minutes wheel H by a flexible connexion M so that the wheel E may be moved laterally into and out of gear with a clock-driven wheel D, Fig. 2. This movement is effected in one direction by a spring N and lever J when a disk Q moves upwards with the obstruction O. The return of the obstruction and disk disengages the wheel E. In a modification, the operation of switching-on the electric or gas light places the wheels D, E in gear, and in this form a single clock may drive the counters of several tables.
