Granted: 1905-06-15
Abstract: 27,533. Marks, G. C., [Goldman, G.]. Dec. 16. Ironing-machines; rollers or cylinders.-The object is to subject fibrous material to heat and pressure, accompanied by the addition or subtraction of moisture, in such a process as that described in Specification No. 2680, A.D. 1904, [Abridgment Class Fabrics, Dressing, &c.], which relates to matting or felting fibres together. An absorbent belt 6, supplied if necessary with steam from jets 11, Fig. 1, and belts 10, advance the material to the table 1, on which it is subjected to heat and pressure. The table is made in two closed portions 1, Figs. 1 and 3, and steam circulates round baffle-plates 2. Rollers 12, supplied with a heating-medium by pipes 14 and having pipes 15 for its withdrawal, heat and compress the fibrous material m and may also serve to draw the moisture from the belt 6 so as to permeate the material. The rollers may have their surface arched or of any shape to suit the material, and, if required, may serve with the heated table to withdraw moisture from the material treated. The pipes 14, 15 do not revolve with the rollers, so that the latter pipe is always in position for carrying off the condensed steam when steam is used for heating. The driving-arrangements are shown.

Title: An Improved Box for Enclosing Switches Fuses or the like
Inventor: DONOVAN GEORGE OWEN
Filed: 1905-08-03
Granted: 1906-05-31
Abstract: 15,871. Donovan, G. O. Aug. 3. Hand-hole doors and frames.-A switch, fuse, or like box is provided with a locking-bolt, so that the box cannot be opened while the circuit is closed The handle G is secured to a spindle which, on turning, operates the apparatus F. The end K of the handle is notched at L to receive the end of a bolt M when the switch is in its 'off' position. The bolt is supported by lugs N on the base of the box, and may be moved to enter a hole in the lug P on the lid of the box. The lug P has a plane face between its end and the hole. A small clearance only is allowed between. the handle and the lid when the box is closed. When the handle G is in its 'on' position, the bolt M locks the lid to the base by entering the hole in the lug P, and is kept in position by the end K of the handle. When the handle G is moved to its 'off' position, it unlocks the bolt, which can then be moved to lock the handle by entering the notch or hole L, leaving the lug P so that the lid may be raised. When the box is closed, the lid may be screwed down by bolts C until the hole in the lug P becomes level with the bolt M. In a modification, Fig. 3, the locking-bolt M is carried on a pin. More than one handle or bolt may be used, projections may replace the holes, and holes with glands may be provided for the entrance of cables. A packing-ring is used to make the box gas-tight.

Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 4589. Martini, C., and H³neke, H. Feb. 25. Direct gas - pressure apparatus. -Relates to a process and apparatus for the storage and transference of inflammable liquids, in which a non- oxidizing or inert gas fills the space above the liquid in the storage tanks, the gas being recovered for repeated use. To transfer liquid from the vessel f to the storage tank a, communication is established between the suction side of the compressor i and the pipe d through a three-way valve s; the gas is thereby drawn off and passed into the reservoir n, and the liquid fills the tank. The cock e is then closed, the end of the pipe c is connected with the vessel (not shown), to which it is desired to transfer the inflammable liquid, and the transference is effected by turning the cock s so that the gas under pressure in the reservoir n is forced by the compressor into the tank a, displacing the liquid through the pipe c.

Field carriages. -Relates to recoil apparatus having a rotatable. piston-rod, or buffer cylinder, whereby the recoil stroke may be adjusted to the elevation of the gun, and consists in a device for automatically rotating the part as the gun is elevated A rotatable piston-rod is shown. A longitudinal shaft K is connected at its forward end by toothed sectors M, N to the piston-rod F, and at its rear end carries an arm P which is connected by a link Q and ball-and-socket or universal joints pl, r', to a stud R on the carriage C. When the gun is elevated, the stud R remains stationary, but the arm P swings, with. the gun about the trunnions b<2> and is consequently rocked by the link Q in the direction shown by the arrow Y, Fig. 2. The rod F is thus rotated and the recoil stroke diminished. The link Q may be made in two parts connected by a screw coupling, so that the apparatus may be initially adjusted.
