Title: Improvements in the Method of Producing Butylene Glycol.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1911-07-28
Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 17,259. Fairweather, W., [Du Pont de Nemours Powder Co., E. I.]. July 28. Butyleneglycol; acetaldol; aldehyde. - Butyleneglycol is produced by oxidizing alcohol to aldehyde by means of catalysts such as platinum, copper, zinc, &c., condensing the acetaldehyde to acetaldol by means of a solution of alkali or alkaline carbonate, borate, phosphate, acetate, or cyanide, and finally reducing the acetaldol by means of an amalgam of aluminium or other metal, or single metals or an alloy without mercury, whereby a solution of butyleneglycol is obtained from which the compound may be isolated by distillation in vacuo. If acetaldol be required in a pure state, it may be extracted with ether before reduction. Specification 4099/11 is referred to.

Title: Improvement in or relating to Flexible Band-couplings.
Inventor: FISCHER HILMAR
IPC: F16D3/52
Filed: 1911-11-14
Granted: 1912-08-15
Abstract: 25,322. Fischer, H. Nov. 14. Shaft couplings.-A flexible band d connects inner and outer members a, x attached respectively to shafts to be coupled, looped portions of the band being passed through peripheral apertures a<1>, x<1> in each member and secured in recesses x<2> by cross-pins c or other loose removable members. The cross-pins c may be replaced by thicker pins to take up slack of the band, holes or openings being provided in the side of the outer member a to admit a tool to knock out the pins. In a modification, the recesses x<2> are formed in the outer member, the band being placed within a concentric recess in the inner member and the loops passed outwards. In another modification shown in Fig. 4, instead of an endless band, short lengths d' for each recess may be secured to the edges of the adjacent slot in the co-acting member.
Patent GB-191126640-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Impression Mechanisms for Printing Presses.
Inventor: JUSTICE PHILIP MIDDLETON
IPC: B41F3/12
Filed: 1911-11-28
Granted: 1912-02-29
Abstract: 26,640. Justice, P. M., [Huber-Hodgman Printing Press Co.]. Nov. 28. Tripping-arrangements; cylinder machines.- A continuous-revolution cylinder printing-machine is so constructed that the strain of impression is taken by the cross or centre stay of the machine framing on which the bed runs, and not by the side frames, which are bolted to the cross-stay. The tripping-mechanism employed consists of toggle levers so arranged as to bring the impression cylinder into operative position against the action of springs; the toggles bear against projections on the crossstay and so transmit the impression strain to this stay. The impression cylinder 6 is supported at each end by a side rod 9, guided in a side frame 1, and held in place by plates 14, 17. A cross-stay 2, Fig. 5, is secured by bolts 10 to the side frames 1, and at each end of the stay 2 is a protruding abutment 13 which passes through the frame 1 and rod 9, the rod 9 being formed with an aperture 15 long enough to permit the rising and falling movements of the rod. The cylinder is normally kept out of printing position by means of adjustable springs 33- which bear on a rib 34 on the rod 9 and on a plate 23 secured to the abutment 13. The cylinder is brought into printing position by a toggle mechanism arranged between the abutment 13 and the lower end 16 of the rod 9. This mechanism comprises an upper member 21, which is pivoted to a bolt 22 passed through the plate 23, and is received by a socket in a member 20 secured by bolts 19 to the abutment 13; and a lower member 25 received in a suitable aperture in a plate 27 bolted to the rod 9. For taking-up wear &c., an apertured plate 29, adjustable by means of a wedge-shaped member 31 which is adjustable by screws, is arranged between the toggle member 25 and the end of the rod 9. The upper member of the toggle is actuated to straighten the toggle and so bring the impression cylinder into printing position by means of a cam 39, lever 42, connecting-rod 43, lever 47, link 49, and arm 50. When it is desired to trip the cylinder permanently, the parts 43, 47 may be disconnected by depressing a pedal 51, which causes the face 58 of a counterbalanced lever 55 to act on the end 45 of the rod 43 and disconnect a pin 48 and socket 44 which normally connect the parts 47, 43. A pin 54 may be caused to hold the pedal in its depressed condition as long as desired. The springs 33 may be dispensed with, and the member 25 of the toggle is in this case positively connected to the rod 9.

Abstract: 27,506. Krupp Akt.-Ges. Germaniawerft, F. Dec. 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Ball bearings.-In a thrust bearing for horizontal or inclined shafts, such as ships' propeller shafts, having two rows of balls taking thrusts in both directions, the play in the part of the bearing that is not under load is taken up by spring pressure. Two thrust rings L, Mare clamped on the shaft and spaced by a sleeve N, and the thrust is conveyed to a fixed thrust ring E through rings H, K carrying the ball races F<1>, G<1>. The rings H, K are 'drawn together to take up play in the ball bearings by a compression spring R engaging flanges on two sleeves O, P.

Granted: 1914-01-23
Abstract: 1903. Foster & Son, J., and Foster, E. H. Jan. 23. Doffing-arrangements.-A carriage 1, Fig. 3, which carries sliding flyer-holders 57, sliding full-bobbin pegs 58, full-bobbin receiving pegs 83, and angularly-movable wires or " setters " 54 for carrying empty bobbins, is slidable in guides 4 at the front of a spinning and like machine, and is raised and lowered by means of a lever 22 operated by a cam, gearing, and clutch mechanism, so controlled as to traverse the carriage vertically and to position it automatically in accordance with the successive stages of the doffing operation. The cam is mounted on a shaft 19, Fig. 17, which is operated from a shaft 9, actuated by hand or by gearing from the loose pulley. The shafts 9, 19 are connected by sprocket gearing 10, 12, a shaft 13, clutch 88, and gearing 14, 18. The shaft 19 carries a disk 86 suitably slotted so that, in certain positions of the disk, a lever 84 may engage with the corresponding slot therein, whereby the clutch 88 is disengaged and the shaft 19 blocked with the carriage at the desired positions in its vertical path. A foot-pedal is provided in order to disengage the lever from the disk and to re-engage the clutch. The flyers are held by fingers 50 and are unscrewed bv turning the spindles by means of gearing 47, 48, and a hand-wheel 41. When the carriage is arrested in its first position, the flyer holders are advanced beneath the unscrewed flyers by rack-and-pinion mechanism 75, and after the lever 84 is released, the subsequent raising of the carriage causes the flyers to be engaged by lugs 62 on the holders, and felt-lined " boots " or rings 64 to embrace the eyes of the flyers for the purpose of retaining the threads therein. The flyer-holders are then retracted and the bobbin-holders advanced over the spindles by rack-and-pinion gearing 76, and the lifter plate is raised so as to place the bobbins on pegs 58 provided with hinged spring clips 67; when the bobbin-holders are retracted, depending portions of the clips engage the shaft of the rack pinion, thereby freeing the bobbins so that they fall on to pegs 83, mounted on a bar which is connected to parallel-motion levers so that it may be drawn to the front of the carriage to facilitate the removal of the bobbins. The lifter plate is raised to its highest doffing position by a cam operated from the shaft 19, and during this operation, the carriage is stationary by reason of the lever 22 engaging with a circular part of its operating-cam. Instead of the pegs 58, a series of depending limbs shaped to conform to the curvature of the bobbin may be used. The empty bobbins are placed on the spindle by rotating the " setters " 54, and the flyers are replaced and screwed upon the spindles by turning the wheel 41. By continuing the rotation of the wheel 41, a few turns are wound on the empty bobbins and the ends are severed by a cutter bar of known form.
