Abstract: 24,129. Dunlop Pneumatic Tyre Co., and Keegan, F. J. Nov. 10. Check valves; lift valves; seats.-In an inflating - valve for pneumatic tyres, two balls B, B<1> in the conical passage A<1> form the check valve. They rest on the grid C<x> during inflation. To stop any air that may leak past the balls after inflation, a plug E is screwed on to a rubber or leather pad F. The plug E is bored and tapped to receive the pump connexion, and air passages E<3>, E<2> communicate with the space above the passage A'. The thread in the bore of the plug is left handed, and that on the exterior of the plug is right-handed. When the pump connexion is screwed in, prior to inflation, it enters the plug as far as a collar on the connexion permits, and further rotation of the connexion carries the plug with it and so removes it from the pad F. In removing the connexion, the plug at first moves with it and is screwed down on to the pad and then the connexion is screwed out of the plug. The pump connexion has a pair of wings or lugs which are formed as screwdrivers for tightening the plug E and for screwing in a plug which closes the hole E<1>.

Sewing-machines; feed by dog; lock-stitching by shuttles.-A sewing-machine is provided with a double-ended shuttle which is reciprocated across the line of feed, any desired number of needles being employed; and the feed is arranged so that the length of the stitches and also that relative length of alternate stitches. may be regulated. The double-ended shuttle 40 is mounted in a shuttle-holder 41 on a driving- head 42, fixed to a runner which is reciprocated transversely by connexions to a lever 16 driven by the engagement of a roll 18 thereon with a cam 19 on a collar 20 .on the main shaft 6. The runner is supported on fixed rods 10, 11, on which the end pieces 12 of the runner slide on ball bearings 13. The shuttle forms a loop with the needle-thread in each direction of reciprocation. On the runner is also mounted a stitchspacing bar 25 carrying a fixed cam-plate 26 and a cam-plate 27, curved on a large radius and fixed at its centre, but adjustable at its ends by nuts 28 working on screws 29, the cam-plate being formed of spring metal to allow this adjustment. A pin projects from the shank 21 of the feed-plate 9, between these cam-plates, and the lateral reciprocation of the runner thus causes a to-and-fro movement of the feed-plate, the amount of the movement and consequently the length of stitch being regulated by the adjustment of the cam-plate 26, the faces of the nuts 28 being numbered to provide for equally or unequally adjusting the corresponding ends to give the same or different lengths to the alternate stitches. To provide for the up-anddown movement of the feed-dog, the forward extension 23 of the feed-plate 9 is supported by a plate mounted on the reduced extremity of a lift screw 32 having a threaded engagement with a fixed part of the frame. A pin 35 extending through the screw is acted on by springs 36 normally to hold the screw 32 against rotation, the screw being oscillated against the action of these springs by two tappets 37, 38 arranged on opposite sides of a bar 39 fixed to the runner, which tappets engage the ends of the pin 35 to lift the screw and consequently the feed-dog at each reciprocation of the frame. The needle-bar 3 is provided, as shown, with means for holding a number of needles 7, and the throat-plate 43 is provided with a number of needle-holes 44, which communicate with a single slot 45 to admit the necessary interlocking of the needle and shuttle threads.

Abstract: 27,554. Hesselman, K. J. E. Jan. 5, [Convention date]. Starting; reversing. - In a fourstroke - cycle engine in which the functions of the inlet and exhaust v a l v e s can be interchanged f o r reversing, a supplementary exh a u s t port, uncovered at the end of the stroke, is provided, and the inlet ports may be put in communication with a supply of compressed air or the like, for starting in either direction. The engine has valves 3, 4 in connexion with pipes 5, 6, one of which communicates with a source of supply of working fluid through a valve 14 and the other with the atmosphere. The function of the pipes 5, 6 may be inter.- changed by means of a valve 18. A supplementary exhaust port 11 communicates with a pipe 12. Compressed gas is supplied to the inlet pipe through a pipe 16. The valve 18 is moved by a lever 19, to which is attached a link 20 for adjusting other parts of the reversing-gear. For normal working, the periods when the admission or exhaust valves are uncovered partly coincide with the periods when the port 11 is uncovered but for working with compressed air, the timing of the valves is so adjusted that a short period of expansion occurs between the closing of the admission valve and the uncovering of the port 11. For this purpose the fulcra of the valve levers are mounted eccentrically, so that they may be lifted. To prevent damage during the compression period when working with compressed air, a relief valve may be fitted, or the exhaust valve may be worked by hand. The engine may work on a two-stroke cycle at starting.
