Granted: 1911-05-18
Abstract: 19,471. Watts, J. R. Aug. 19. [Addition to 1378/09.] Combined presses and stretchers. - The pivoted frame of a trouser-stretcher is held in its operative position by means of a ball or roller clutch. In the arrangement shown, the pivoted frame B is attached to the element D of the clutch, which is rotatable in one direction only relatively to the second element E. The element D is provided with recesses F<1> having inclined surfaces, over which balls or rollers F have a limited movement. A detent J is pressed into engagement with one of the notches of the element E by means of a spring K, and is moved out of engagement therewith by depressing a handle J<2>. After the trousers have been clamped, the frame B is moved in a clockwise direction to stretch the trousers, but is prevented from moving in an anticlockwise direction by the inclined recesses F<1> and balls or rollers F. To release the trousers, the detent J is depressed, thereby allowing the elements E, D to rotate in an anticlockwise direction. In a modification, the base is fixed to the element D, and the frame B secured to the casing. In a further modification, the frame B is fixed to the element E, in which case the detent J is arranged to secure the element D to its spindle; and in a further modification, the element E is fixed to the base, in which case the detent J is arranged to connect the frame B to the element D.

Title: Improved Apparatus for Coiling Steel and other Metal Wire.
Inventor: CADDY SYDNEY CHARLES
IPC: B21F3/04
Filed: 1910-11-14
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 26,437. Caddy, S. C. Nov. 14. Coiling.-In an apparatus for coiling steel and other wire, a pair of driven heads are used, one driving a rotating mandrel and the other having a chuck and a hollow spindle and the wire passes through a hole in one of a pair of dies in a spring-controlled sliding carrier which presses the wire onto the mandrel. The wire d passes over a pulley f, through a hole in the hinged part a<2> of the carrier, and through the die a<3>. The dies a<3>, a' which may be of metal, vulcanite, &c. have semicircular grooves to engage the mandrel and also enlarged semicircular or V-grooves to receive the wire, and both may be reversible or interchangeable for coiling different sizes of wires or diameters of coil. The part a<2> is connected to the part a by a screw c to vary the pitch of the coil. One end of the wire is gripped by a spring or automatic chuck h rotated by a belt in a head stock i and the mandrel c, which may be a wire if the wire to be coiled is very fine, is rotated in the headstock l. The carrier is traversed by the coiling operation along rods b against the action of springs m. When the carrier has reached the end of the mandrel, it is arrested by a brake n which stops the rotation of the chuck, which is opened to allow the completed section of the coil to be drawn through the hollow headstock and over a drum or through a tube by the spring return of the carrier. Coiling may then be resumed, and any length of coil thus produced. The brake may be operated by a pedal lever or automatically by cam or trigger releasing or return gear.

Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 29,935. Coke Oven Construction Co., and Marr, J. Dec. 23. Drawings to Specification. Ammonia; ammonium sulphate.-In order to avoid the production of effluent liquors during the treatment of distillation gases, the liquor obtained by cooling the gases to effect a complete separation of the tar, is evaporated to dryness after the separation of the tar and the vapours are passed to an ammonium-sulphate saturator. In carrying out the process, the gases are cooled to 15-35‹ C. to separate the whole of the tar and practically all the water, and, after the separation of the benzole if desired and without reheating, the resulting gases are passed into an ammonium-sulphate saturator. The vapours produced by the evaporation of the ammoniacal liquor, as referred to above, are treated in a separate saturator, care being taken that their temperature is maintained so high that condensation of water is avoided. Or these gases may be mixed with a part or the whole of the main gases, and treated in the same saturator.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Electric Jacquard Apparatus.
Inventor: REGAL AUGUST
IPC: D03C3/20
Filed: 1911-04-28
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 10,363. Regal, A. May 17, 1910, [Convention date]. Jacquards. - T h e hooked wires n, Fig. 1, of an electric jacquard are controlled by resilient cross-wires d arranged in the direction of the cores c of electric coils b, Figs. 1 and 3, and normally resting on the recessed bars t of a frame, which is moved in a path having a right-angle bend. The cores c have V-shaped resilient branches c<1>, c<2>, which become jammed in their coils after these have been energized. The bars t first descend, whereupon certain of the cross-wires are supported by the cores of those coils that have not been energized, but the other cross-wires fall owing to their resiliency. The bars t are next moved to the right, thus actuating projections u on the fallen cross-wires, which thereupon deflect the corresponding lifting-wires out of the path of the knives. The bars t are afterwards moved backwards and upwards to normal position. A bar w returns all the cores, and a regulator x returns the cross-wires to normal position. A contact-pin h'.is moved along a pattern card g provided with non-conducting and also with conducting parts, after which the card is rotated ;and the contact-pin is moved back again. The contact-pin is electrically connected to a contactwheel j moving in unison with the pin over a contact-bar i,. which is provided with contacts connected to the respective coils; so that these may be energized in succession, these contacts alternating with non - conducting portions to minimize the amount of electricity used. In order to produce the binding in the pattern and 'ground represented in Fig. 5, each eighth cf the coils is connected by means of a switch o to a corresponding one of a series of contacts C<1> ... C<6>, Figs. 1 and 6, which can engage contact-fingers A<1> ... A<8> of a binding-cylinder z, such as described in Specification 26,502/09, these contact-fingers projecting through the perforations of a binding-cylinder y, from which they are insulated. The cylinders y, z and the pattern card are rotated intermittently and synchronously. The cylinder z is electrically connected through a source m of current to a contact-wheel k moving in unison with the wheel j over the contact-bar, the wheel contacting with the same contact as the wheel k, and not, as shown, with a different one. A separate source of current f is connected to the pattern g and the binding-cylinder y. The surface of the cylinder y is conducting, but is provided with perforations or insulated portions D<1> ... D<8> to give the required binding in the pattern when the current is passed into the coils from the source of current f, the coils being energized from the source of current m to give the binding in the ground part of the fabric. Several contact-bars i and a corresponding number of contact-pins h may be used.
