Granted: 1910-07-28
Abstract: 17,662. Geyer, A. July 29. Fire-resisting doors.-Relates to doors constructed of layers of fireproof material enclosed around the edges in an iron frame. The door is composed of sheets c, e of asbestos slate and sheets d of asbestos mill-board moonted in a frame a of angle-iron, air spaces being formed in the interior by the insertion of strips g. A strip h of asbestos slate prevents access of the fire to the frame a, and the door posts are constructed of alternate layers n, o of asbestos slate and millboard. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the sheets p are perforated at q or are composed of a number of plates r spaced apart and secured to the door by bolts t and nuts or small plates u of so that any steam formed within the door may escape. In the case of double doors, the meeting edges of the doors are covered by layers of fire-proof material secured by bolts, as shown in Fig. 5. The progress of the fire may be watched through apertures v protected on both sides by mica disks.

Filed: 1909-10-27
Granted: 1910-05-19
Abstract: 24,657. Price, W. R. Oct. 27. [Cognate Application, 29,557/09.] Catch gear of mine-cage type.-A safety suspending-apparatus for pit cages comprises an additional safety rope attached to the cages, which rope is gripped and suspends the cages if the winding-rope breaks. The safety rope 1 passes over a pulley 2 mounted at the head of the shaft and is attached at each end to one of the pit cages. The rope grips are enclosed in casings 5. mounted below the winding-pulleys 4 on the framing 6. Pivoted to each casing is a lever 11 one end of which carries a pulley 12 resting against the hoisting-rope 13, while its other end is connected to a valve admitting steam to a cylinder 9 operating the rope grip. When the hoisting-rope breaks, the lever falls and steam is admitted to the cylinder 9, the piston-rod of which forces a block 8 to join the rope 1 against the end 7 of the casing. The block 8 has a spring catch which prevents it from coming back if the pressure upon the piston-rod is released. A rod 15 may be arranged to cut off steam from the winding- engine on the winding-rope breaking. The first Provisional Specification also describes means for operating the grips by eccentric wheels and weighted arms. Specification 17,115/91 is referred to.

Title: Improved Horn for use on Motor Cars and the like.
Inventor: SWAN BENJAMIN
IPC: G10K9/18
Filed: 1910-01-04
Granted: 1911-01-04
Abstract: 189. Swan, B., and Stuart, E. E. Jan. 4. Wind instruments.- Multi - note horns for motor-cars and the like are operated by a double-acting air-pump, the piston - rod or a continuation thereof acting as a valve for successively distributing the compressed air to the reeds. The airpump cylinder a terminates in a pipe b, in which works the hollow extension c of the piston-rod d. A series of air-chambers b' surround the pipe b, and communicate therewith and with a series of trumpets and reeds e. The end of the extension c is closed and side ports c<1> are formed therein, which distribute the air successively to the different reeds as the piston f is reciprocated. To render the pump doubleacting, the piston is capable of a limited movement on the pistonrod by which it closes one or other of the ports c<2>, c<3>, and thus puts the part of the cylinder a on the opposite side in communication with the extension c.

Abstract: 7732. Heinz, J. March 30. Impact pulverizers; wet grinding; chemical reactions, f a c i l itating. - Apparatus for abrading o r disintegrating metallic lead in the manufacture of white lead, applicable for reducing small particles of matter in the presence or not of liquids and at the same time facilitating chemical action, consists of a drum 7, Figs. 3 and 4, containing o p p os i t e l y - revolving disks 20, 24 carrying vanes or buckets 22, 23, and 25, 27 which throw the liquid a n d particles of lead &c. against the grooved lining 12 of the drum. The buckets 22, 25 on the inlet side are inclined forward in the direction of rotation of the disks, while those on the opposite side are curved, both sets of buckets being secured to the disks along the edges of slots 26 which are inclined to radial lines. The openings in the head 11 and end 18 of the drum are larger in diameter than the shafts 3, 4 of the disks to allow a current of air to pass through the machine and reduce the finest particles of lead and the outer surfaces of the other particles to the lower oxide. The stream of water containing the fine particles of lead is fed through a spout 17, and discharged through openings 13, 14. Scrapers 28, 29 are secured to the inlet sides of the disks to prevent material from accumulating at the outside of the buckets 22, 25. The case 7 is provided with lateral extensions 8 in which adjusting-screws 9 engage.

Title: A Photo-mechanical Process for Engraving or Etching Printing Rollers.
Inventor: RECKARD HENRY LEWIS
IPC: B41C1/18
Filed: 1909-07-07
Granted: 1910-07-07
Abstract: 15,672. Reckard, H. L. July 7, 1909. Drawings to Specification. Etching; printing processes.-Printing-rollers for printing in several colours are prepared with intaglio designs by a photomechanical process in such a way as to allow for the running of the colours during printing, so as to prevent overlapping. An outline drawing of the complete design is first made, the lines being of such a width that the spaces provided leave space for the flow of colours. A negative is taken of the design, and a photolithograph made from the negative. A number of prints are taken from the photolithograph, and each of these prints is filled in with black except for the space representing one colour area. From these blocked-in prints, photographs are taken, and from positives from these, photolithographs are made. From these photolithographs, printing- rollers are prepared in a manner similar to that described in Specification 15,894/09, namely, by making transfers from the photolithographs and transferring the design direct to the rollers, or to zinc sheets, which are etched and then employed to coat the rollers with an acid-resisting ink, the rollers being afterwards etched. In a modification, the design is drawn with sharp lines, and the reduction of the colour areas is effected during the making of the photolithographs from their negatives by introducing a sheet of celluloid between the negative and the photolithograph.
