Title: Improvements in and connected with Tyres for Motor Cars and the like.
Inventor: MUIRHEAD JAMES
Filed: 1908-11-25
Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 25,395. Muirhead, J. Nov. 25. Tyres, pneumatic &c.- An old outer cover is cut across at its soundest part, and is reduced at one end A' by removiog the rubber from the canvas. The cover is then applied as a tread band to a pneumatic or other tyre. and its ends are connected by a section C of a cover which has one reduced end C<2> overlapped by the end A<2> of the cover, the other end C' overlapping the reduced end A<1> of the cover, to which it is secured by rivets. The ends of the complete cover thus formed are secured together by thongs passing through rings D<1>, D<2> which engage hooked plates E<1>, E' on the ends of the cover. In place of the thongs and hooked plates, leather straps or steel rods and nuts may be used for drawing the ends of the cover together. Creeping is prevented by hooks K, engaging the wheel rim and attached at intervals to the cover, or by bars or chains L which are riveted to the cover and attached to the rim. Creeping may also be prevented by straps riveted to the cover and engaging the spokes of the wheel. The cover may be provided with a studded band. When a defective part has to be removed from the old cover, a long connecting-section C is used. Instead of using an old cover, a new cover of the form described may be built up. Tread bands of the ordinary type may be made with tapering overlapping ends which may be drawn together in the manners described.

Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 13,163. Ronchetti, J. A. June 5, 1908, [Convention date]. Letter-spacing mechanism; space-key actions.- Relates to (1) means for actuating the spacing- mechanism at the instant of the commencement of the downward or upward strokes of the key-levers or space-bar, (2) space-bar connexions, and (3) means for arresting silently the universal bar or other moving part. (1) The escapement rocker 6, Fig. 2, is provided with an arm 12, Figs. 1 and 2, limited by stops 20, 21, and connected by a link 14 to an arm 16 having a frictional connexion with a universal rock-shaft 17, so that the shaft 17 can complete its full stroke in either direction. This connexion comprises a conical projection 23 on the arm 16 6 held in a corresponding recess in a collar 25 on the shaft 17 by means of a spring 27 adjusted by a collar 28. An arm 73 on the shaft 17 is connected to the space-bar 61, and other arms 34 support the universal bar 32 by links 33. One arm 34 is extended at 60 and connected to a returning-spring 57. (2) The space-bar 61, Figs. 1 and 2, is carried by levers 62, 63 mounted on a rock-shaft 64 and connected by a cross-rod 67, which is connected by links 68, 71 to the arm 73 on the shaft 17. Returning-springs 74, 75 engage with collars 77 on the rod 67, which collars also serve to prevent endlong movement of the link 68. A lug 78 on the link 68 is engaged by a spring 80, so that, when a key-lever is depressed, the linkage 68, 71 is flexed to avoid movement of the space-bar. (3) The universal bar 32, Figs. 1, 2, and 4, for example, is provided centrally with a roller 44 for engagement with an oscillating concave cam 40 retained by a spring 50. The cam 40 comprises a vertical portion 41 merging into a concave portion 42 ending in a portion 43 concentric to the axis of oscillation of the cam, so that there is a constantly increasing resistance to the downward movement of the universal bar. Endlong movement of the universal bar by the action of the parts 44, 40 is prevented by means of guide-rollers 55, 56 running on a vertical bracket 54.

Abstract: 23,340. Sjostrand, U. S., and Petterson, H. A. Oct. 15, 1908, [Convention date]. Stream-cutting machines. - In a machine for cutting lard &c. into cubes, in which strings are formed by two sets of band knives reciprocated at rigbt-angles to each other, the knife supports are stepped so that the band edges do not lie in one plane but cut into the lard one after the other, and the strings are cut into cubes by rotating circular knives mounted on a rotating arm. Fig. 2 is a side-view of such a machine, and Fig. 5 a front view of a set of knives. The block of lard is fed through a drum 23 by rollers 38, and is sliced by sets of knives 30 passing through the drum at right-angles to each other and reciprocated in guides 21 by connecting-rods 19, 20, and cranks 17, 18 mounted respectively on shafts 8, 16 driven from the main shaft 4 by gear-wheels 6, 7 and chain gearing 9 ... 15. The circular knives 32, for cutting the strings as they emerge from the end of the drum 23, are rotated at the ends of an arm 23 secured to the sleeve 12 rotated from the shaft 8 by the chain gearing 9, 10, 11. Each set of reciprocating knives 30 is mounted in a frame consisting of end-pieces 24 and rods 25 which are screw-threaded at one end so that the length of the frame, and therefore the tension of the knife band, can be adjusted. The knife band is attached to one of the transverse rods 28 used for keeping the saddles 27 in position, is passed round successive and opposite steps in the saddles shown, and then secured to the outer side of the other end-piece 24 by a screw 31 or the like. The steps are preferably semicircular, and the knives are advantageously placed so that the two in contact with the rod 28 are in the same plane.

Abstract: 12,137. Newton, P. A., [Channing, J. P.]. May 17. Sulphuric acid and sulphur dioxide.-The composition of the gases arising from pyritic smelting is controlled so that the proportions of sulphurous acid and oxygen are suitable for making sulphuric acid by the contact or the chamber process, by using only a small quantity of coke with the ore and by arranging several furnaces in connexion with one gas-mixing chamber from which the acid plant is fed. The ore and coke is charged into furnaces 1, 2, 3, 4 at the top 5, which is then closed by doors 6 to prevent access of air. Air is blown in, in regulated amount, by a pipe 7, and the gases escape by flues 9, 10, 12 to the mixing-chamber 13, which may be provided with partitions 31, 32, the partition 31 having holes 33. The mixed gases pass by flues 14, 17, 21 to the Glover tower 22 or to the contact apparatus; or by flues 14, 30 to the stack 8. The furnaces are also connected with the stack 8 by a by-pass flue 11. Dampers are provided in the various flues so .that the flow of the gases can be regulated and any furnace can be disconnected from the acid plant. If the gases contain too little air, more may be added, either by increased blast or by opening one of the doors 20, 21, 23. A filter 18 is provided, but much of the flue dust collects in the chamber 13, from which .it is removed by a door 25 at the lower end of the inclined floor 34.
