Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 28,076. Milne, S. Dec. 20. Screw pumps. - A screw pump, specially applicable for feeding thick paper pulp, has at intervals along the casing a fixed gridlike partitions e, having three or four arms joined to a central boss and to an annular rim, the bosses being loose on the shaft c, which carries short propellers, worms, or screws f fitting between the partitions. The shaft passes through the stuffing-box d at the bent-up outlet end of the casing. The screws may vary in length, pitch, or diameter from inlet to outlet, in order to compress the matter acted upon as it passes along the barrel, and the casing is preferably made in longitudinal halves. The bolts that hold the casing parts together may also hold the partitions, which are provided with lugs for the purpose. To reduce friction, the bosses of the rings e may be lined with antifriction material, and the rings may fit in annular recesses in the casing, and may have their rims shaped as shown ; or the rims may be made sufficiently wide to abut against each other. The blades of the rings are preferably rectangular, and their faces are either parallel to the shaft or diagonal thereto. The blades may also be shaped as screw-threads to incline in the opposite direction to the screws themselves. In a further modification, the rings e may revolve in the reverse direction to the screws, and for this purpose, the casing may be revolubly mounted ; or a special sleeve may be provided in the casing, and in this case the blades of the rings e may be formed to act as screw blades.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Production of Zinc Pigments or Mixtures containing Zinc Sulphide
Inventor: STUCKLE HENRY WILLIAM DE
Filed: 1908-01-09
Granted: 1908-10-15
Abstract: 575. StucklÚ, H. W. de. Jan. 9. Weatherproof paints; paints, materials for.- Mixed paints containing precipitated sulphide of zinc are rendered light and weatherproof by partly removing the hydrate water, the best results being obtained when there are at least five molecules of zinc sulphide for one molecule of water. In the case of mixed paints obtained by simultaneous precipitation, it is necessary that precipitation be effected from alkaline lyes. As an example, precipitated zinc sulphide with an admixture is heated to 300‹ C. until the desired product is obtained. Or a mixed solution of sodium zincate and sodium sulphate is precipitated with barium sulphide, and the mixed precipitate dried, and heated as before. The drying may be effected at various temperatures, and in a vacuum.

Abstract: 14,795. Leach, A., and Foster, I. July 13. Looms, warp tension regulating in; creel frames.-The warps used for producing coloured or other selvedges, borders, or stripes are passed from one or more balls b, Fig. 2, on headless bobbins or tubes supported on studs a around two or more parallel rods k, which are connected in groups or pairs by a cross bar i ; the tension given to the threads is varied by turning the bar i about a stud h, the bar i being then secured in position by a set-screw j. The rods k may be placed in position to give free passage to the warps so that no tension is placed thereon. Each ball &c. b may have a brake e, f, g, and the warps may be guided around fingers or rods m, and over a stud &c. l and the back-rest q, to the place where they join the remaining warps s. The rods &c. m are adjustably secured by set-screws p to collars o, which are adjustably secured by setscrews n to the stud l, so that the position of the rod m around or on the stud l may be adjusted. The apparatus may be used at both sides of the loom, and the parts a, e, h, l, k may extend right across the loom. The stud l or a similar stud may carry several guide-fiogers similar to but smaller than the fingers m, for which they are substituted. The tension fingers k, Fig. 8, may be made longer and be secured at each end to cross-bars on the stud h, and, to give greater friction, other fingers are carried by arms v which can turn around the fingers k and be secured thereto by set-screws w. In another modification, the ball &c., the brake, and the tensioning-device are supported in a frame which stands behind the loom.

Act, 1907.] Motor road vehicles.-Relates to motor-cars in which the road wheels are driven by a two-part shaft or axle, the two portions of which are either driven independently by separate motors or driven from a common source of power through differential gearing. The invention more particularly relates to that kind of such vehicles in which the motors, or the differential gear, are mounted upon the spring-supported body of the automobile, and the two portions of the divided shaft or axle drive the wheels through universal joints. The present invention consists in mounting the bevel-wheels o, by which the inner ends of the two portions of the two-part axle h are driven, in yokes r which are capable of limited oscillation about the centre k. The inner ends of the axles h engage with the hubs of the bevel-wheels through a telescopic connexion, and the outer ends engage with the wheels by a universal connexion i. By this construction, the maximum permissible length for the shaft sections is allowed, and only one universal joint is required on each side. The axles are enclosed by flexible leather casings in the manner shown.

Granted: 1909-04-15
Abstract: 7203. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, et Cie. March 30, 1908, [Convention date]. Dynamos and motors, cooling and ventilating.- Dynamo-electric machines. of the enclosed type are cooled by repeatedly passing the same volume of air through the machine and an external cooling- device formed in the foundations of the machine. In the machine shown, a fan on the rotor shaft, or the rotor itself, sucks in air at c and expels it at d, the circulation being completed between the ribs e formed on the foundation plate b, which thus conducts the heat to the surrounding foundation f. The ribs may be hollow, and air or water may flow through them. Alternatively, a cooling-coil may be placed in the foundation plates, as, for instance, by placing the cooling-device of a motor under the pumps in the case of a direct-coupled pump and motor.
