Hem-stitching machines; multiple-needle machines; needle-bars, vibrating laterally ; presser-feet; cords, applying.-The hem-stitch, shown in Fig. 11, is produced by the co-operation of two needles 22 in line in the direction of feed, a single lock-stitch loop-taker 14, a looper 35 above the work and carrying a thread 36‹, and a feed-mechanism which moves the work forward at each stitch. The two needles are carried by one needle bar sliding in and vibrated by a gate D of the usual construction connected to a slotted quadrant E. The lock-stitch hook or shuttle 14 is mounted or driven by a disk 13, which is driven from the shaft 7 through an Oldham's coupling 8. The disk 13 is yoked by a pivoted sleeve 16 and a link 18 to a quadrant 19, similar to the quadrant E and similarly actuated, so that the loop-taker follows the movements of the needles. The shaft 7 is rotated twice for each descent of the needles. The needle loops are entered in a direction opposite to that of the feed. The borers 45 are curved approximately concentrically with the needles, and descend just prior to the needles to perforate the work at the edge of the fold. They are actuated by an eccentric on the top shaft through a lever 37. The needle threads aro pulled together, so as to further extend the holes made by the borers, by a thread 36*, Fig. 11, which is laid about the needle threads by a circularly reciprocating looper 32 mounted in a recess in the presser-foot 31, Fig. 7. The looper is oscillated by a lever 29 on a shaft 25, which is mounted in the hollow presser-bar and is actuated by means of a lever and a link from a lever on the trunnion of the needle-vibrating quadrant E.

Granted: 1909-01-11
Abstract: 702. Seemen, E. von. Jan. 11, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Pottery.-Refractory, ceramic, and abrasive products are obtained by fusing natural earths such as bauxite, potter's clay, &c., preferably in the electric furnace, in the presence of sufficient quantities of free oxygen, or with substances, such as saltpetre or manganese dioxide, that yield oxygen. The oxides present are consequently not reduced while the carbon is burnt. Coloured products are obtained by adding suitable metallic oxides to the fused mass. Basic material, such as magnesia, is added to neutralize the silica when it constitutes less than 15 per cent of the whole mass. To raw material containing more than 15 per cent of silica, more silica is added until the product has the composition of ideal Bischoff clay which is composed of one molecule of alumina and one molecule of silica.

Abstract: 2977. Marks, E. C. R., [Berry, C. M.]. Feb. 10. Bottles, non - refillable ; stoppers, internal. - To prevent fraudulent refilling after the original contents have been withdrawn, a stopper S of the shape shown in Figs. 1 and 3 is introduced into the bottle before the n e c k is shaped. Attached to the stopper by embedding therein or by threading through holes in the stopper is a metallic loop L, by means of which the stopper is drawn up into position against an annular cork ring C. In a modification, the wire L is of sufficient length to protrude through the neck of the bottle to afford means for raising the stopper into position. In each case, after drawing up the stopper, the loop is passed through a slot p in a cap plate P, the loop is then severed, and the ends are bent over to clinch the cap plate on the neck of the bottle.
