Granted: 1911-11-02
Abstract: 19,152. Wilkinson, G. Aug. 26. Direct steam-pressure apparatus, automatic.-In direct steam-pressure apparatus for raising liquids, of the type in which the steam-admission valve is operated by direct contact with a float-actuated rocking lever within the liquid-forcing chamber, a passage is provided by which the steam passing such valve is deflected so that it does not impinge directly on the rocking lever. In the arrangement shown, the lever 5, which is connected at one end to the float rod 4, is balanced at the other end by a weight 9 suspended from a ball 10 at the end of the lever. The steam - inlet valve 7 is operated by direct contact with the lever, and passages 15 are provided which lead the steam to both sides of the lever so that it does not impinge thereon. The exhaust valve 8 is attached to the spindle carrying the weight 9. An air-outlet pipe 17 is employed for regulating the apparatus at starting.

Abstract: 21,570. Johnson, R. C. Sept. 30. Adjustments.-Furniture, such as chairs, couches, and bedsteads, with angularly-adjustable parts is provided with a ratchet fulcrum device comprising a toothed plate fixed to one part of the article, the teeth of which p'ate are adapted to be engaged by a pin on the other part of the article, the adjustable portion being capable of transverse movement on its fulcrum to allow of the disengagement of the pin from the teeth. The adjustable portion a is mounted on the rod 1 carried at each end by a plate 2 on the fixed part b. The edge 4 of the plate 2 has teeth 5, which are engaged by the pin 6 mounted on the plate 7 attached to the part a, which latter part can be turned on the fulcrum rod 1, and can also be moved transversely on the said rod within the limits of the slot 9. The teeth, shown in Fig. 1, are so shaped that the part a must be lifted before it can be moved in either direction, while Fig. 4 shows teeth so shaped that the part a can be pulled forward, but must be lifted before it can be moved back. A handle 11 may be provided to enable the part a to be moved by a person while sitting in the chair or the like. In a modification, the plate 2 may be attached to the part a and engage a pin on the fixed part.

Title: Process for the Preparation of Anhydrous Borax (Borax Glass).
Filed: 1911-11-11
Granted: 1912-07-11
Abstract: 25,167. Chemische Fabrik Gr³nau Landshoff & Meyer Akt.-Ges., and Brand, P. March 2, [Convention date]. Borax.-Anhydrous borax is prepared by first removing from finely-divided-or finely-crystallized borax so much of its water of crystallization at a temperature below melting-point that the remaining water is insufficient to cause melting even at a high temperature, and then heating to a high temperature to remove the remaining water. The preliminary heating should produce a product having about 30 per cent of water. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 12,985/85.

Abstract: 15,845. Bleichert & Co. July 6, 1911, [Convention date]. Feeding-devices for granular and like materials.-The outlet opening of a feed-hopper is regulated by a number of plates e, e<1>, e<2>, which slide side by side and are supported by rollers a, b on the rear of the hopper wall. The plates are operated by toothed wheels c, d, which gear with racks on the undersides of the plates and are mounted on oppositely-rotating shafts geared together by wheels g, h. The shaft of the wheel c runs more slowly than that of the wheel d so that the slide is opened slowly and closed quickly, and one of the wheels is coupled to its shaft by means of clutches operated by a handlever i. A movable piece k forms the lower part of the rear wall of the hopper, so as to prevent small pieces of material from being jammed between the rear wall and the slides.

Abstract: 23,408. Clough, H. Oct. 16. Delivery apparatus.- Relates to machines in which the sheets, printed side up, are conveyed first towards the feed end and then in the opposite direction for deposition on a delivery board, and consists in providing in the second or reverse conveying-means a dropsheet tape-delivery carriage reciprocated by endless chains so as to obtain a frictionless acceptance and delivery of the sheets, and so arranged that sheets of various lengths can be delivered up tp the front edge of the delivery board. As applied to the wharfedale stop-cylinder bottom-feed machine described in Specification 13,606/04 in which the sheets are transferred from the impression cylinder by gripper fliers to tapes which convey them towards the feed end, tapes 40 passing round a lifting and lowering roll 47 then swinging upwards to take the sheets and convey them in the reverse direction for delivery by other tapes 41 to the board 33, a reciprocating carriage 25 carrying endless tapes and adjustably connected with the drive is arranged to receive the sheets from the tapes 41, carry them against hinged stops 34 at the end of the delivery board 33, and deliver them by the travel of the tapes as the carriage returns. The carriage is reciprocated between side guides 28 by links 23, 24 from endless chains 21, 22 driven at the same speed as the tapes 40, 41 from a shaft 14, which, after removal of a locking-catch 13, may be moved longitudinally to disengage the wheel 9 from the wheel 8 in the main drive and thereby enable the shaft to be rotated by a hand-wheel 12 to bring the front end of the carriage below the edge of a sheet leaving the tapes 41, reengagement of the wheels 8, 9 being then effected. The carriage tapes are stationary relatively to the carriage as it moves over the delivery board and are driven as it returns by a free-wheel clutch 26 on one of the tape spindles gearing with a fixed rack 27. The compound wheel 8 carried by the inking-mechanism frame 31 is driven by a chain 7 from the main shaft 3, and drives a compound wheel 42 from which the tapes 40, 41 are driven by a chain 43. The delivery board carries an adjustable fence 35, and is supported on a stay-bar 49 of the frame 31 and on a bar 50 across the side frames.
