Granted: 1911-11-16
Abstract: 11,329. Latour, R., and Cappelle, A. May 10. Elastic cords; machines for making.-Rubbercoated cords are made in apparatus of the type in which the threads are drawn through a chamber containing rubber solution under pressure, then through a heated drying-chamber, and are afterwards twisted together. Fig. 1 shows an apparatus in which the threads pass from bobbins 3 over glass guides on a support 4 through a reservoir 5 containing rubber solution under pressure, then through a heated drying-chamber 6, next through a second rubber reservoir and a drying-chamber 8, and so on as many times as is desired. The threads are assembled by a funnel 9 and pass over a pulley 10 to a chamber 11, which is cooled in any suitable manner, as by an air aspirator 12, whence they pass to a cord-making machine 13 of known type. This machine comprises a winding bobbin 15 mounted on a frame 16, which is rotated to twist the threads by means of a driving-shaft 14. A fixed gear on the standard 29 drives a gear 28 on a longitudinal shaft 21 carrying a worm which rotates a series of geared vulcanite rollers 19, between which the threads pass from the trunnion 30 on their way to a screw-traversed winding-on guide 18. The bobbin 15 is driven by an elastic belt 26 from the first roller 19 and drives the guide screw.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Detachable Wheels.
Inventor: PUGH JOHN VERNON
IPC: B60B3/18
Filed: 1911-08-09
Granted: 1912-09-09
Abstract: 18,048. Pugh, J. V. Aug. 9. Locking nuts.-Nuts g for securing detachable wheels comprising an outer detachable hub a mounted non-rotatably on an inner permanent nut b are locked by arranging that the rotation of the wheels during forward motion of the vehicle tends automatically to tighten the nuts. Owing to the clearance between the hub parts, they become eccentrically disposed under load, and each bears on one point of the circumference of the nut, which, by rolling contact, acquires a rotational movement in one direction or the other relative to the hub parts according as the bearing-surface is external or internal to the hub parts, and the thread is so arranged that the relative rotational movement tends to tighten the nut. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, where the nut g contacts outside the hub parts, the direction of the relative rotation is such as to cause a right-handed nut on the left side of the vehicle, and a left-handed nut on the right side of the vehicle to tighten. Where the nut contacts with the inside of the hub parts, the arrangement of the thread is reversed. The nuts on both sides of the vehicle may be of the same hand, by providing internal contact of the nut with the hub parts on one side of the vehicle and external on the other side. When the nuts are carried by the detachable hubs as shown in Fig. 6, each nut may be provided with two threads p, q of opposite hand to adapt the hubs to either side of the vehicle, or with one kind of thread only.

Plate racks; hot-closets.-In a kitchen range or the like, the plate rack or shelf forming the bottom of the hot closet or "canopy" of the range consists of a hollow structure through which hot air is circulated in order more effectually to heat the hot-closet. Fig. 2 shows an arrangement whereby the hot air from the upper part of the oven d is conducted by a pipe c to the hollow bottom b of the hot-closet a. The part b preferably has a sinuous passage formed by baffles, and the flow of the hot air out of it and into the chimney is regulated by a valve operated by a spindle h. In modifications, the part b is replaced by a frame of hollow bars. Instead of air from the oven, hot air from an air-heating chamber adjacent to one of the flues of the range may be employed. The hollow-bottom may be perforated and fitted with a ventilator to permit the hot air to pass into the hot closet when desired.
