Inventor: RUDOLPH FRANZ
IPC: D04C3/14
Filed: 1913-05-15
Granted: 1913-12-24
Abstract: 11,362. Rudolph, F. May 15. Braiding-machines.- Relates to spool carriers in which the spool 8 is carried on an horizontal axis and is moved bodily up and down in the course of working, the tension of drawing off the thread being g regulated by a spring pawl 9 which lies in a slot 11 and normally engages a toothed flange 7 of the bobbin. The spool 8, pawl 9, and spring 10 are mounted on a slide 5 carried on a standard 3. The thread eye 12 is carried by an arm 14 which is also mounted on the standard 3 and is cranked so that the slide can be readily removed from the standard. The corresponding standard 4 is shorter to facilitate removal of the spool. In the normal working position, the pawl 9 locks the spool against rotation; as the thread is used up, the spool ascends until the top end of the slot 11 arrests the pawl and frees the teeth 7 of the spool from it. More thread is then supplied, the spool descends and the process is repeated. The descent of the spool &c. to the lowest position actuates a stopmotion.

Granted: 1914-06-04
Abstract: 12,982. Dewar, Sir J., and Liebmann, A. June 4. Catalytic materials and processes. - Hydrogenation of liquid unsaturated fats and oils, and the production of a mixed catalyst is effected in one' and the same operation by adding the following mixtures to the oil &c., and treating the whole at a suitable temperature with hydrogen. The mixtures to be added to the oil &c, are:-the oxides, hydroxides, or carbonates of two or more of the metals nickel, cobalt, or copper; or one or more of these oxides, hydroxides, and carbonates and finelydivided palladium, platinum; or silver, or silver oxide. These mixtures may be employed when produced on the surface of porous carriers. It is stated that by the use of these mixtures, the reduction of the compounds referred to is effected at comparatively low temperatures. In examples, hydrogenation is effected by the addition of a mixture of nickel and copper oxides obtained by heating the carbonates precipitated together; a mixture of nickel and copper hydrates; a mixture of nickel and copper carbonates precipitated together; nickel hydrate mixed with palladium; nickel hydrate mixed with silver oxide; a mixture of nickel and copper oxides obtained by impregnating asbestos with a solution of the mixed nitrates, drying, and heating. In all cases, the hydrogenation may be effected under pressure, and the process thereby accelerated. Specification 12,981/13 is referred to.

Inventor: STEWART JAMES GIBB
IPC: F02M69/00
Filed: 1913-08-08
Granted: 1914-08-07
Abstract: 18,045. Stewart, J. G. Aug. 8. Spray carburettors.-The fuel is supplied to the nozzle from a forced vortex, the velocity of which is proportional to the speed of the engine. Fuel is fed from a reservoir to the axis of the vortex-chamber 1 by a pipe 2, and it is delivered to the nozzle 17 through an adjustable pipe 6, passages 7, 9, 10, and well 15. The passage 10 is regulated by a grooved needle 12, which also facilitates cleaning of the passage. The fuel is rotated by vanes 4 driven from the engine. To ensure the chamber 1 being full of fuel, and to prevent the lodgment of air or gas therein, a pipe 3 is led from the axis of the chamber 1 to a height above that of the free fuel level in the reservoir. The outlet pipe is moved to or from the axis of the vortex-chamber to vary the fuel supply by a lever 24, and is returned by a spring 25. In a modification, the fuel, instead of issuing from a nozzle 17, flows over a wire-gauze casing, unvaporized fuel being caught and sprayed. Loss of fuel along the spindle 7 is prevented by a connexion 26 with the induction passage.

Rotary filters.-Apparatus particularly applicable for the treatment of ore pulp &c. comprises a number of swinging trays mounted in a rotary frame, means being provided for subjecting each tray to suction and for tilting the trays to remove the cake formed. The frame is secured to a shaft 7 and comprises end plates 5, 6 with radial arms 9, 9<1> and circumferential braces 10. Each tray 19 has a filter formed of a perforated pipe frame covered with cloth 20<a>, Fig. 2, and is supported by trunnions between a pair of the radial arms. Through the trunnion at one end, a connexion is made from the interior of each element through a pipe 22<1> and the hollow end 22<a> of the shaft 7, Fig. 3, to a suction pump or motor. The material to be filtered is supplied to the trays in their lower position by means of apertured pipes 11, which act as longitudinal braces for the frame and are connected by pipes 12 with an annular launder 13 fed by a pipe 14. The suction is continued for each tray as it rises over the frame, but as it moves downwards, a fixed lug 29 engages a star-cam 28<1> to operate the valve 28 on the pipe 22<1> and shut off the suction from the tray. At about the same time, arms 34 on the tray engage fixed brackets and cause the tray to tilt and discharge the cake into a hopper 32' fitted with an endless conveyer 33. To loosen the cake, water or air under pressure is supplied to the tray through a perforated pipe 23<a>, Fig. 2, which is connected to the second hollowed end 25 of the shaft 7 by a radial pipe 24<1> having a valve 30 provided with a star-shaped cam, which is turned to supply the pressure fluid to each tray while the suction is cut off from it. After discharge of the cake, the suction valve is opened again.

Abstract: 14,220. Graham, E. A., and Brockies, A. C. June 12. Tokens, holding and issuing; registering number of.-In apparatus wherein the lowest check or token of a pile threaded on a rod is, on the turning of a handle, displaced by a slide to a position whence it is subsequently ejected by the next check, a reciprocating ejecting- member actuated by crank-and-slot mechanism is combined with a pivotal member adapted to hold a check displaced from the pile and to be moved slightly thereby and to he fully displaced, actuating a counting-device, when ejected by the next following check. The rod whereon the checks slide may have its cross-section in the form of a numeral or figure indicative of the value of the checks, which are perforated to slide thereon. As shown, the lowermost check e of the pile rests between guides f in the path of a slide g provided with a slotted arm h, by engagement with which a roller j on a crankdisk reciprocates it. The disk is turned by a removable handle, backward movement being prevented by a pawl w and ratchet v. As the handle turns through its first revolution, the check e is moved to the left-hand position, Fig. 3, where it slightly displaces the spring- pressed pivoted arm n, without operating the counting-device s. When the check is ejected by the following check, it moves the horn u of the arm far enough to operate this device. The checks shown are formed with an opening resembling the figure 6.
