Patent GB-190226650-A (GB)
Inventor: VIVIAN MARK
Filed: 1902-12-03
Granted: 1903-12-03
Abstract: 26,650. Vivian, M. Dec. 3. Tyres, pneumatic etc.; felloes or rims.-Slipping of' the wheels of motors car, bicycles, and other vehicles is prevented by constructing the tyres of india-rubber or like strips c of different degrees of hardness or vulcanization. In manufacturing the tyre, either the strips are placed together in a plastic state, and some of them afterwards hardened or vulcanized more than the others, or alternately hard and soft strips are cemented together. Carbon bisulphide, turpentine, or a fixed oil, applied to the harder portions, facilitates the union of the strips. In one process of vulcanizing, shellac or hard varnish is applied to the surfaces of the parts required to remain soft, which protects them from the fumes of the vulcanizing-agent. To apply the invention to existing tyres, a rubber band, of softer material than the tyre, is wound round the tyre and rim, as shown in Fig. 2, and is fastened by solution or otherwise. A similar tread band is sometimes attached to the ordinary outer cover by cement, or otherwise. The Provisional Specification states that the tyre may be attached to the rim so as to prevent creeping, by forming the rim either with eyelets or with depressions at intervals.

Abstract: 4221. Hudson Economiser Co., and Holehouse, W. M. Feb. 23. Exhaust, freeing from grease; condensers.-The exhaust is passed in succession through three chambers in which the grease is deposited, feedwater is heated and purified, and the remaining steam is condensed respectively. Seven arrangements are described, in some of which two of the chambers are merged in one, and either the feedwaterheating or grease-separating dispensed with. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the steam entering the chamber A by the pipe J deposits its grease therein ; it next passes to the chamber B, where feedwater supplied through a float valve B<5> is heated and filtered. The steam is then condensed in the vessel C by falling water, which flows through a pipe F to a hot-well, while the gases are drawn off by the air pump through a pipe G. Fig. 7 shows a grease separator A and condenser C containing baffles C<6>, C<7>, the steam travelling in the direction of the arrows. In one arrangement, soda or other reagent flows through the condenser to a depositing- chamber, to purify the water.
