Granted: 1904-09-29
Abstract: 18,291. Cotton, F. Aug. 23. Liquid-fuel fittings.- Carbonaceous liquids such as the residuum of petroleum and like liquids are converted into a highly combustible gas in an apparatus consisting of two chambers a, b separated by asbestos or other insulating-material e. Steam supplied by a perforated pipe k<3> is superheated to prevent condensation within the chamber a and to raise the carbonaceous liquid, injected under pressure through a nozzle h, to a temperature of 300‹ F. The mixture entering the perforated lower end of the tube d issues, under the control of a check valve d<2>, through a lateral orifice d<1> into a chamber or retort b, which is maintained at a temperature of about 800‹ F. to complete the gasefication before the mixture escapes from the nozzle c<1>. One method of maintaining the retort b at 800‹ F. is by reflected heat, the retort being adjustably arranged in the furnace so that the gas from the nozzle c<1> plays upon a brick pier or its equivalent. The relative proportions of steam and oil supplied to the chamber a are varied to suit the class of furnace with which the apparatus is employed.

Abstract: 3413. Marshall, C. L. Oct. 22, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Tyres, pneumatic.-Covers for pneumatic tyres are constructed with endless circumferential warp threads, wound on a mandrel to form a trough-like section, and transverse weft threads sewn on both sides of the warp, the fabric thus formed having the usual rubber coating applied. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the circumferential threads a, arranged in bunches with an enlargement a<1> at each edge to form the bead of the tyre, are secured to the transverse threads d by zigzag stitches b, the threads d being materially stronger than the stitches. Each of the transverse threads is wound backwards and forwards, the two being looped together along the edges of the cover, the loops d<1> engaging with the edge stitches b<1>, which are made of coarser thread. The increased periphery at the tread portion of the cover necessitates proportioning the thickness of the stitching-thread according to the distance from the edges of the fabric. The warp may be saturated with rubber before attachment of the weft thread. The beaded edges may be formed by stitching reinforcing-pieces thereto.

Abstract: 9082. Stone, W. L. April 29. 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Locks, permutation; padlocks. -Relates to a Scandinavian padlock, with permutation locking- mechanism. The cylindrical shaped or other casing A is provided with a stepped bore C at one end, closed by a plate 6, and with apertures 1, 4, the former passing through to the open end, to receive the arms 2, 3 of the bow. Passing through the plate 6 is a spindle 11, to which is rigidly fixed a disk 17, Fig. 5, and on the spindle are loosely mounted locking disks 18, 19, spaced apart by spacing-rings 24, 30, the latter having lugs projecting into the case to prevent them from moving with the locking-disks. The disks 18, 19 are countersunk as at 27, Fig. 9, and are provided with pins 22<1>. The pin 22<1> of the disk 18 passes right through the disk and projects, when in position, into the countersink of the disk 19. A similar pin 22 is attached to the disk 17. To unlock the padlock, the knob 12 is turned until the pin 22 on the disk 17 engages with the pin 22<1> on the disk 18 and that in turn with the pin on the disk 19, until the latter disk is moved to a predetermined position indicated on a dial fixed to the plate 6. The knob is then turned in the reverse direction through a complete revolution till it again causes the pins 22, 22<1> on the disks 17, 18 to engage and moves the disk 18 into its correct position, the disk 19 remaining stationary. The knob is again reversed to move the disk 17 to its right position. In this position, the notches 23, 29 in the locking- disks come into position to allow the leg 2 of the bow B to be withdrawn. In a modification, the countersinks are replaced by circular slots in the disks. [Reference has been directed under Patents Act 1902, to Specifications No. 4171, A.D. 1879, and No. 24,882, A.D. 1893.]

Patent GB-190512041-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Pile-cutting Machines for Cutting Tubular Plush-like Stockingette (or Meshed) and Woven Goods.
Inventor: WEVER FRITZ
Filed: 1905-06-08
Granted: 1905-07-06
Abstract: 12,041. Wever, F. June 8. Pile-cutting.- Relates to machines for cutting the pile on tubular plushlike stockinet or meshed and woven goods. The goods are drawn up from the vessel 2, Fig. 2, over a ring 3, grooved disk k 5, provided with recesses and a spring 4, over a contact or spreader disk 6, slightly recessed in its periphery and having longitudinal ribbings for preventing lateral turning of the material, then over disks 7, 8, having outer wooden rings 53, covered with fish skin or cards and standing obliquely upwards and of just the right width to fill up the width of the goods cylinder. The goods then pass over a ring 9 and a broad stretcher 10, and then between drawing-rollers 11, finally passing doubled flat to the winding-roller 13. The machine is driven by the pulley 30. By means of gearing 40, 39, 41, &c., a rod 42 carrying the lower disk 7 is rapidly oscillated, and the two disks 7, 8, being connected by crossed levers, are caused to approach and recede. As the lower disk rises, it pulls up the tubular goods, the upper disk as it falls slipping over the surface thereof. When the upper disk rises, it pulls up the tubular goods and the lower disk slips over the surface. The goods are thus kept in constant tension and there is an intermittent feed. A series of enlarging receiving cores 14, Fig. 9, of U-section are revolubly or pivotally suspended in a circuit on rings 17 adjustable in height in an inclined slot to suit loops of different lengths, and fit into the loops on the goods, against which they are pressed by springs 19. Knives 26, horizontally displaceable and carried by a holder 23 rocking on the bearing 24 in slotted guides of a ring 15 and pressed inwards by a spring 25, are moved rapidly up and down by means of a ring 36. This ring has rollers 34 fitting in cam-grooves of disks 29 rotated by chains 33 and wheels 32. For long loops, the cores 14 are placed somewhat deeper by lowering them, pins 27 moving the knife-holders 23 to the right, while, when the cores are raised for short loops, springs 25 press the holders 23 back again. In a modification, flat knives 44, Fig. 6, with points and waved blades are used. They are carried by their notches 46 on a rib 45 in slots of the frame ring 52. The rib 45 is carried by an angle-ring 48, rotated by a wheel 47, and runs on rollers 50 in the frame 52, being held down by pressure rollers. The rib 45 has cam-like bends 54 which raise and lower the knives during its rotation, the knives cutting the loops from the inside. If desired, the drawing-off disks 7, 8 may also be employed for inserting tubular goods in the machine, In this case, the stretching-apparatus is taken off and the wooden rings 53 with the scratchers are reversed so that the latter are directed obliquely downwards, the goods being carried from above downwards,
