Abstract: 10,180. Webb, W. H., Brettell, W. G., and Adamson, A. J. April 29. Cooling air.-In apparatus for cooling air, distributing - troughs a, Fig. 1, have, in connexion with their lower parts and between the surfaces thereof, surfaces or plates e so arranged that a liquid, such as refrigerated brine, overflowing from the trough, is evenly distributed over the plates. The troughs have longitudinal openings on their upper sides and depending web parts a<1> which have longitudinal slots a<2>, Fig. 4, to receive the upper edges of the plates. The plate may be secured by metal pins having notches c<1> in the ends and other notches c<2> in the sides. To remove the plates, the pins are rotated so that the holes in the plates coincide with those in the sides of the web. The pins are then withdrawn. In a modification, part of the web may be formed separately and may be fastened to the other part so that the plates are clamped between the two parts of the web. The plates may be corrugated horizontally.

Granted: 1910-05-12
Abstract: 23,095. Frommer, R. Oct. 9. Breech actions, sliding barrel and breechblock.-For preventing recoil when it is desired to fire single shots loaded by hand, special means are provided consisting of a rotatable sleeve mounted upon a fixed part of the arm co-axially with the barrel. Preferably, the sleeve has an interrupted flange, which may be set so as to engage between projections on the muzzle end of the barrel, and the guide-tube. In the simplest arrangement, which is shown in Figs. 14 and 15 in the non-recoiling position, the sleeve 13 is secured, also by means of an interrupted flange, behind the broken flange 12 of the guide-tube ; and, without interfering with such engagement, it may be rotated so as to bring the projections 20 into alinement with the gaps between the projections 25 on the barrel, being securable in either operative position by the catch 19 in the base of the foresight. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the sleeve 13, which is shown detached in Fig. 5, engages with projections 22 upon the locknut 10, which secures the abutment ring 5 of the barrel-spring, the shoulder 24 providing an accurate seating and consequent concentric support for the barrel.

Abstract: 3115. Walker, A. H., Bennison, W. E., Parker, T. R. G., Wright, F. W., and Hart, H. Feb. 8. Inking - apparatus.-The longitudinal reciprocation of distributing-rollers 1 and ink-drum 2 may be varied, or stopped altogether, by improved means for varyiog either the throw of operating crank-pins 6, 23, or the inclination of cam-grooves 37 in a reciprocating slide 31 for operating the levers 19 which reciprocate the rollers 1, or, in a further alternative, by varying the effective length of the oscillating levers 51, 52, Fig. 6, by changing the position of the blocks 58. In the first method, the pins 6, 23 are mounted on blocks adjustably clamped in slots in the crank-disks, and a rack-andpinion adjustment may be provided to vary the position of the blocks without stopping the machine. If it is desired to alter the angle of the cam-grooves 37, and also that of the groove 48 for reciprocating the drum 2, it may be done while the machine is working, by means of worm gearing 33, 44, and milled heads 36, 47. In the modification shown in Fig. 6, the lever 51, actuated by a connecting-rod 56, oscillates the arms 19 through links and segmental bevel-gears 67, 68, the position of the block 58 carrying the pin 63 forming the opposite end of the lever being determined by turning the milled head 60, which is locked in the adjusted position by the nut 62. This adjustment can be done while the machine is working. The ink drum 2 in this modification is reciprocated adjustably through the lever 52 by mechanism similar to that used with the lever 51.

The looper takes the thread loop from the upper needle and carries it forward so that it lies upon a chord of its circular portion, as shown in Fig. 5. The lower needle then passes up between the arms of the loop and on the inside of the looper. The spindle c<1> of the lower needle is mounted obliquely in order that the looper may pass into the line of the upper needle above the work. The lower needle may be straight instead of curved. The looper shaft d<2> is oscillated by a crank d<3> and slotted lever f<3>.
