Inventor: CLARK MAX
IPC: B44C3/08
Filed: 1910-11-05
Granted: 1911-06-21
Abstract: 25,760. Clark, M. Nov. 5. Embossing; forming. -A figured or relief moulding for mirror and picture frames &c. is made by taking a soft wood rod or strip formed as a plain moulding, coating the surface with palm or other oil, and impressing the required design on its moulded surface by means of an engraved die or matrix, which may be heated by gas &c. if desired. Figs. 1 and 3 show a construction of apparatus in which the die a and strip c are carried in a guide part band the pressure is applied gradually by means of rollers d, e, f .. d<1>, e<1>, f<1> .., the distance between their axes progressively decreasing. Fig. 5 shows an hydraulic press having several pistons i for impressing a design on a moulding q by means of a die o. The moulding q is carried by blocks k, l resting on plates j on the top of the pistons i, and is prevented from bursting under compression by angle-pieces p. A device for heating the die o may be inserted between the blocks k, l. The dies may be provided with detachable faces, and other pressure-producing devices may be used.

Abstract: 1124. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Jan. 16. Caoutchouc is produced by polymerizing butadiene, its homologues, and derivatives with the aid of organic substances never hitherto used in the polymerization of any organic compound, such as starch, urea, albumen (yolk or white of egg), blood serum, glycerine, &c. In examples, butadiene is polymerized by wheat starch, #-gamma-dimethylbutadiene is polymerized by blood fibrin, and isoprene is polymerized by urea. Other butadiene derivatives such as alphamethyl-, alpha-alpha-dimethyl-, #-propyl-, and #-isobutyl-, butadiene, and the butadiene derivative of the formula mav be used. Specifications 14,281/10, 15,254/10, 17,734/10, and 25,850/10 are referred to. #-Isobutyl-, and #-n-propyl-, butadiene are produced from hexahydroisobutyl- and hexahydro-n-propyl-phenol, according to the processes described in Specifications 12,206/09, 24,298/09, and 8100/10.

Abstract: 2659. Barker, T., Greenwood, J., and Greenwood, C. Feb. 2. Shuttles. - A device to facilitate threading consists of a piece of sheet brass or other sheet metal which is bent to form a base plate 3 and a thread-guide 4. The shuttle is threaded by drawing the weft round the nose of the part 4 and causing a loop to slide along the curved part 7 until it comes opposite the shuttle eye. The end of the thread is then drawn through the shuttle eye by stroking with the finger. Hooked portions 8, 12 keep the weft in proper position when the shuttle is working. The threading - device is secured in position by a screw 13 and by a nail or screw passing through an upturned edge 14. Pins 15, 16, 18 may be inserted to take the rub of the weft.

Title: Hydraulic Apparatus for Storing Water under Various Pressures for Power Purposes.
Inventor: QUIMBY MARK JUDSON
IPC: F15B1/10
Filed: 1911-02-02
Granted: 1911-07-27
Abstract: 2743. Quimby, M. J. Feb. 2. Direct air and steam pressure apparatus, automatic.-A device for storing water under steam or gas pressure consists of a tank divided into several compartments, each containing water at a different pressure. Fig. 1 is a sectional elevation of the storage tank, and Fig. 2 a section on the line 2, 2, Fig. 1. The tank, which is enclosed in an outer casing 5, is divided into four parts by partitions 9, and the space between the cover and tank contains water, which also fills the vertical tubes 7. A watersupply pipe 10 with check valve 20 communicates with one of the chambers 8, which also contains a valve 11 giving access to the other three compartments by means of pipes 12, 16, 17. The valve 11, shown in section in Fig. 4, contains the valve plate 14, which normally closes the pipe 16 by hanging vertically, but which may close the pipe 12 when deflected as shown. A check valve 18 is fitted at the ends of each of the three pipes 12, 16, 17, and, in addition, there is a valve 19 at the junction of pipes 12 and 17. The supply of pressure fluid is controlled by the rotary valve 22, shown in section in Fig. 5. The valve plate 24 is rotated by means of a belt on the pulley 27, and the opening 30 communicates alternately with the inlet pipe 28<1> and outlet 29. If gas is used, a sparking-plug 31 is fitted to explode the mixture of gas and air. When the valve is open to the exhaust, water enters the chamber 8 from the stand-pipe 10, and on the admission of pressure fluid, the valve 20 closes, and 11 opens, thus closing the pipe 12. Water is thus discharged into the chamber 8<1>, until the fall of pressure allows the valve 14 to close again, whereupon the water is forced into the pipe 12, closing the valve 19 and consequently the outlet 17. Upon a further decrease in pressure, the check valve at the mouth of the pipe 12 closes, and valve 19 opens, so that water is discharged through the pipe 17 into the fourth chamber. Water is thus stored in the four chambers at four different pressures.

Chain-wheels c, d, fast on the shafts A, A' respectively, gear with chain-wheels c<1>, d<1> on the shaft B. The wheel c<1> is fixed, but the wheel d<1> is loose and may be connected to the shaft B by a clutch b. A sleeve C loose on the shaft B carries spur gears e. g of the same size capable of engaging a gear e<1> fast on the shaft A<1>, and a gear f capable of engaging a gear f<1> fast on the shaft A. The high speed is a direct drive through a clutch a, the spur gearing and the clutch b being disconnected. The middle speed is a double reduction through the chain gearing obtained by disengaging the clutch a and engaging the clutch b. The low speed is a double reduction through spur gearing obtained by sliding the sleeve C until the gears f, e mesh with the gears f<1>, e<1> respectively. The reversed drive is a double reduction through chain and spur gearing, obtained by sliding the sleeve C until the gear g meshes with the gear e<1> and a clutch member e<2> on the sleeve C engages a member c<2> on the shaft B. In a modified arrangement, the chain-wheel c may be disconnected from the shaft A, so that all the gears may be at rest on the high speed,

Compound fabrics. - In the manufacture of non - woven bands for the foundations of pneumatic tyre covers, of the kind made by laying an adhesive thread zigzag on a moving drum by means of an oscillating thread-guide, the thread of silk &c. is laid so that the angles at the bends of the thread are about 90 degrees, and the threads in the successive layers cross one another at the same angle, so that the bends of the thread at each edge of the band may be connected by a seam, the thread of which takes into each bend. The apparatus comprises a revolving drum 1 on which the thread is laid by a guide 2 oscillated across the drum by an oblique wheel 3, which is driven from the drum shaft 5 through a system of friction or gear wheels, these wheels being so inter-related that, at each revolution of the drum, the thread is shifted to an extent about equal to its thickness.

The middle of the fabric may also be reinforced bv employing two parallel threads on the thread - guide, so that two layers of thread are formed on the drum, and overlap on the middle.

When the magnet C1 is de-energized, the armature C1 falls back and the indicator moves into view.
