Title: Motors for Washing Machines
Inventor: AVERILL GEORGE EDGAR
Filed: 1904-11-01
Granted: 1904-12-22
Abstract: 23,565. Averill, G. E. Nov. 1. Washing-machines.-Relates to means for automatically imparting an alternating motion to a rotary washing-machine. The machine is driven by a water motor C, the admission of water to which is controlled by the piston valves G. Auxiliary valves L control the working of the valves G. The rod of the valves L extends through the end stuffing-boxes, and, as the piston D moves backwards and forwards, the projecting arms M alternately strike the ends of the rod K, and thus open and close the ports e. In the position shown in Fig. 3, water has passed from the left-hand opening Q through the port e and has moved the valves G to the right, thus allowing water, entering at the pipe 0, to pass through the right-hand port of the cylinder C. The water escapes through the ports c and the outlet P. The reciprocating motion is transmitted to the washing-machine by a rack and toothed sector, as shown.

Title: Improvements in Flexible Roofing and Flooring
Inventor: RUGEN LOUIS CORD
Filed: 1904-12-27
Granted: 1905-02-02
Abstract: 28,488. Rugen, L. C., and Abraham, H. Feb. 6, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Paint vehicles; waterproof paints; painting.-In the colouring of waterproof coverings such as those used for roofing and flooring, the pigment is mixed with a carrier or flux consisting of a mixture of resins with fats, waxes, or oils in the molten condition, and is applied under heat and pressure. The foundation material, formed by passing paper, felt, cloth, burlap, &c. B, Fig. 1, through a reservoir A containing asphalt, tars, pitches, or other hydrocarbons, is passed between heated rollers C, the lower one of which applies the colouring-composition contained in a tank D. The effect of heat and pressure is to cause the coloured facing F, Fig. 2, to interlock with the material E and so form an intermediate portion b ; or, if the material has been coated instead of saturated with a hydrocarbon, the intermediate portion will be as shown at b<1>, Fig. 3. To produce a more stable facing, the oils or fats may be first oxidized or polymerized by heating in the presence of oxidizing-agents, or by heating with sulphur or chlorine. As an example of the process, a mixture is first made by heating for six hours at 200‹ C., 4 lb. of American linseed oil, 1 oz. of litharge, and 1 oz. of manganese borate. The carrier or flux is then obtained by heating 2“ lb. of the first mixture with 4 lb. of kauri gum and 3 lb. of Burgundy pitch. When this has reached 130‹ C., 4 lb. of red iron oxide are added to form the facing-composition. When this composition has reached 105‹-110‹ C., it is applied to paper between rollers heated by steam to about 150‹ C., the paper having first been saturated with asphalt at 100‹ C.
