Title: A New or Improved Machine for Forming the Presser Leg of Flyer Spindles
Filed: 1904-06-17
Granted: 1904-09-22
Abstract: 13,722. Bodden & Son, W., and Ashton, F. June 17. Bending. - A machine for forming the tubular pressing - legs of flyers for slubbing, roving, &c. machines is constructed with a grooved roller K, Figs. 1, 3, and 4, pressed, by weighted levers applied to its bearings, against a longitudinally grooved die-block f, Fig. 1, along which the semicircular pressing-leg is laid. The block f is adjustably secured by screws g and a wedge h to a frame d supported on two rows of balls c and reciprocated by a rack and gearing from a grooved pulley v, which may be driven in either direction by moving a pivoted T-lever t so as to bring one or other of two driven grooved pulleys carried by it against the pulley v. In applying the flyer, the frame d is moved in the direction of the arrow A, and a chucking-block q, hinged at one side and locked by a nut q<2> at the other, is turned about its hinge, the flyer being then placed with its socket x<1> over a mandrel d', the block q locked, and a screw s working through a nut r advanced against the outer end of the socket. The frame d is now moved to carry the presser-arm under the roller K which forms it into a closed tube tapering from the socket to the end. Gearing driven by a rack on the frame d drives the roller K.

Title: A New or Improved Process and Means for the Production of Weather-proof and Non-flammable Timber and for Dyeing the same.
Inventor: SALOMON MARGARETHE
Filed: 1906-02-23
Granted: 1906-11-08
Abstract: 4486. Salomon, M. Feb. 23. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Wood, treating for preserving &c.-In order to render wood weather-proof and non-inflammable, while at the same time colouring it if desired, it is embedded in substances containing silicic acid, e.g. ground pumice, infusorial earth, &c. with which may be mixed suitable dye substances, on the sloping floor b<1> of the chamber b. The chamber is heated by a steam-pipe n, by which means moisture and air are driven out of the wood and absorbed by the surrounding substances, de-aeration being assisted by suction pipes r, s. Cold soda lye, with which the colouring-substances, e.g. yellow earth, may be mixed, from a chamber h is then admitted to the upper chamber past a slide d. The solid material is thus floated into the empty pores of the wood and the silicic acid converted into sodium silicate therein by subsequent boiling under pressure. Should the impregnation of thick wood be imperfect, it is left in the cooling liquid, the chamber quite filled again, and the liquid reboiled. For yellow earth may be substituted ground stone waste, such as picrolite, granite, basalt, melaphyre, porphyry of gabbro, bronzite, and Labrador stone, or blue iron earth mixed if necessary with asbolane. If the infusorial - earth bedding is mixed with chrome iron ore and syenite meal or magnesium silicate, a green chrome silicate will be produced. Umber may be produced in the receptacle from siliceous yellow earth and manganese ore. Calcined beechwood shavings give a brown colour, the potassium protoxide contained therein yielding the impregnating-lye. Chromic ironstone forms with argillaceous earth a chrome ochre which dyes the wood green. A green colour may also be produced by forming sodium manganate. Many of these substances also act as rarefiers in the receptacle by combining with air and moisture.

Granted: 1907-10-24
Abstract: 25,772. Orr, S., and McBride, J. Nov. 15. Cleaning pipes and tubes.-In an apparatus for removing scale, rust, &c. from tank sides and tops, and other - metallic surfaces, a series of spindles A, armed at their lower ends with tools F, is reciprocated by a series of cams K<2> and springs G<3>. The spindles work in guide-bars B at the end of a carriage having three wheels D, D<1> provided with india-rubber tyres to prevent slipping. The upper ends of tae spindles are pivoted to levers G, which are also pivoted to links G<1> mounted on a cross-bar G<2>. To enable the tension of the springs G<3> to be varied, their lower ends are secured to a cross-bar H which is raised 'or lowered by a lever I<1>, provided with a pawl J engaging a sector J', by means of a lever H<1> and connecting-rod I. The cam shaft K is driven by gearing from a motor arranged on the frame of the machine, and the machine is fed over the work by a'worm-wheel, on the axle E of the wheels D, which is actuated by a worm driven by bevel-gearing from the cam shaft. The worm spindle is carried in adjustable brackets, so that worm-wheels of different size may be employed to vary the rate of feed. To enable the machine to be wheeled easily into position, the tools F may be raised slightly through the opposite end of the machine being lowered by rotating the hand-wheel X. The worm-wheel is clamped between a collar on the shaft E and the wheel D when the machine is in operation, but is released to allow it to be wheeled into position: Behind the tool spindles a rotary metallic brush is arranged across the machine, being driven by the motor so as.to leave the surface ready for painting and to prevent the accumulation of rust from interfering with the tools. The machine may be arranged to treat vertical or steeply inclined surfaces, being in these cases carried on guide-rails which are slung over the surfaces or supported on a platform.
