Patent GB-189728957-A (GB)
Title: Improvement in the Manufacture of Rubber Tubing.
Inventor: BOULT ALFRED JULIUS
Filed: 1897-12-07
Granted: 1898-05-20
Abstract: 28,957. Boult, A. J., [Work, B. G.]. Dec. 7. India-rubber tubing.-The invention is for a machine which converts a strip of india-rubber into a tube. The Figures show the chief operations performed. The strip is carried on a reel whence it is drawn on to an endless travelling band in which it is supported through the greater part of its passage through the machine It passes first to a folder consisting of suitably-arranged rollers and a guide-plate which double it over lengthways. Thence it is led on to a plate E, where its edge is trimmed by circular cutters F, F'. These cutters not only remove the superfluous strip y, and thus make the edges even, but they cause a partial union of the edges so trimmed sufficient to hold them together until they are permanently joined by solution. This is applied by a revolving brush G which picks it up from a tray and smears it on the rubber strip by means of its bevelled edge as shown in Fig. 5. After this it is carried by the travelling band to another part of the machine where the joint is completed. The time occupied in traversing this distance is sufficient to allow the benzine of the solution to evaporate to the necessary degree. The folded strip now passes through a guide which turns it through a right-angle so that the solutioned edge is turned vertically upwards as shown in Figs. 8 and 9. After passing between two vertical rolls I, it is led underneath two horizontal ones K shaped as shown and disposed so that their axes form an angle. These flatten down the edges and cause them to unite. After this it passes between two rolls L, L<1>, the former of which is preferably grooved, while the latter has a corresponding recess. Here the joint is completed, but it may be reinforced by a rubber strip applied to it by the rolls L, L<1> or by others. It may now be rolled on a drum, or cut into sections by an apparatus shown in Fig. 10. This consists of shear blades extending across the machine in the path of the strip. The lower one is fixed, while the upper one is pivoted to it at one end, the free end moving in a groove m in a support O<1>. The upper blade is normally kept in its open or raised position by a spring, but is periodically struck, so as to cause it to close, by a pawl p<2> on a hammer N<1> which is actuated by a cam P. After striking the shear blade, the pawl is immediately disengaged from it so that the blade rises at once, while the hammer does so more slowly under the influence of the cam.

Patent GB-189801728-A (GB)
Title: Improvement in Stop Valves.
Inventor: CRAIG WILLIAM
Filed: 1898-01-21
Granted: 1898-03-19
Abstract: 1728. Craig, W., and Roelker, H. B. Jan. 21. Lift valves.-The Figures show means for opening and closing large stop-valves by manipulating small valves or cocks. The lift valve B is attached by either of the methods shown to a piston D of larger area than the valve and adapted, by reciprocating in the cylinder C, to actuate the said valve. In the form shown in Fig. 1, when the cock L' connects the inlet a, as shown, with the cylinder C through the pipes L and F, the fluid pressure acting on the piston and valve presses the latter against its seat c. The closing of the valve takes place slowly, as the fluid behind the piston D cannot pass very quickly through the openings h and therefore acts as a cushion. To open the valve, the cock L<1> is turned to put the pipe L in communication with the escape pipe, and the valve K<1> opened, when fluid passes from the inlet a through the bye-pass K and holes h and then acts on the piston D to open the valve. In the form shown in Fig. 3, either a or b may be used as the inlet, in which case either the valve K or K<2> is opened. Passages F<1> and F<2> leading to the two sides of the piston are separately put in communication with the fluid inlet or escape opening k<1> by means of a valve K<1> having side ports as shown and a central passage k<2>. Instead of making the piston D to seat against the end of the casing as shown in Fig. 3, the rod d may be provided with a stuffing-box. An indicator may be attached to the spindle M.

Granted: 1898-12-03
Abstract: 3410. Kaufhold, M. Feb. 10 Compressing.-In high-speed compressors the delivery valves C are given time to close before the suction stroke begins, by making the piston cut them off from the cylinder at the end of the compression stroke. They are preferably arranged as shown in Fig. 2 at A, B, C, and closed successively, the angular movements of the crank during the time the valves are covered by the piston being shown in Fig. 3 by the lines A<1>, B', C<1>. The valves may be arranged to close simultaneously, and two rows of them may be arranged at each end of the cylinder.

Abstract: 4285. Bayliff, W., Bayliff, T. D., and Draper, B. Feb. 21. Traps.-Relates to a form of non-return door for use in various forms of traps for catching animals or fish &c. The door is shown in side view in Fig. 1, and consists of a series of rods or wires g, each secured to independent sleeves threaded on the spindle n. The wires each rest in sockets s formed on a bar r so that they incline towards the inside of the trap and have their ends bent round, as shown, to prevent animals within the trap from raising the wires. The Provisional Specification states that a fringe of sharpened wires may be hung outside the door to prevent animals that have attempted to enter the trap from withdrawing. The Specification shows the invention as applied to a trap for rabbits.
