Title: Improvements in Cloth Stretching Machines.
Inventor: EDMESTON CHARLES
IPC: D06C3/06
Filed: 1909-05-17
Granted: 1910-04-07
Abstract: 11,594. Edmeston, C., and Edmeston, A. May 17, Stretching.-Relates to cloth-stretching machines of the endless-belt grip type and consists in providing means for adjusting the distance between the belts at the entrance side without altering the distance at the delivery side and without stopping the machine. The distance between the grip pulleys c<1>, c<2> at the entrance side is controlled by a right and left hand screw a, with which work bolts a<1> on the pulley frames a<3>; and the screw a is lengthened to carry pulleys d, d', which are connected to pulleys e, e<1> by open and crossed belts. The pulleys e, e<1> are actuated by a double clutch e<2> on a driven shaft g, being made active as required by contact with a leather washer between the pulleys and the clutch, which is moved in either direction by a double treadle f. The screw a may thus be moved in either direction. The gripping-belts b pass over and under guidepulleys c; a guide k, mounted on each of the carrier frames a<3> in line with the outside edge of the belt, is moved with the belt grip as this is controlled, to enable the operator to note in which direction adjustment is required to suit the width of the cloth.

Abstract: 15,168. Brunner, E. June 29. Air, supplying; regenerators; doors and door frames; fire-bridges.-In forced-draught steamgenerator furnaces fitted witb means for regeneratively heating air in tubes E having internal spirals e, as described in Specifications 22,725/06,14,141/07, and 17,729/08, the furnace front and ash-pit are closed to prevent atmospheric air from entering the furnace, and the hot air is supplied to the ashpit, to a chamber at the rear of the bridge, and to a hollow door and door-frame. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the air is drawn through the tube E and a conduit f by a fan F and is then forced through a conduit f<1> whence it passes to chambers J, Q. From the chamber J, part of the air passes through a port P to the ashpit, and the remainder passes through a conduit L and is delivered to the furnace gases from a chamber D. Part of the air in the chamber Q escapes directly to the furnace chamber and the remainder passes through a valved opening N to a chamber T behind the door whence it escapes through openings R to the combustion chamber. When the tubes are arranged in a down-tube flue, their ends, which deliver into a receiving chamber, are formed as shown in Fig. 6<a>. In the modification shown in Fig. 10, the hot air from a chamber D passes partly into the ash-pit through a perforated conduit k, partly through an opening in the bridge, and partly through passages in the side walls, which conduct it to the chambers Q, T.

Abstract: 19,012. Warren, C. H. Aug. 12. Branches and mains, connecting. -Consists in a drill-box and connecting-clamp, each made in two laterally separable parts, for drilling and tapping gas or water mains while under pressure, and connecting branch pipes thereto. The two parts 1, 2 of the drill-box, Figs. 1 and 2, are clamped together by bolts 3, and enclose a drilling-chamber 5 traversed by a plug-cock 4, the bore of which is large enough to take the drilling and tapping bar 7. The box and drill are secured to the main by hooks and chains 18, 17, a tight joint being given by a seating- block 25 and packing 26. After the hole has been drilled and tapped, the drill is retracted beyond the cock, which is then turned to close the chamber 5. The bushing 13 is then removed and replaced by a cap 23, Fig. 3, having a packing 37 through which the plugged branchelbow 38 passes tightly. The cock then is opened and the elbow is screwed into the main. The drill-box is removed by being separated into its two parts, the cap 37 and packing having been previously slipped off over the elbow. Successive lengths of service pipe are connected to the branch by means of the connecting-clamp shown in Fig. 4. The clamp is split longitudinally into two parts 27, 28, which are bolted together over the plugged socket 38*, tight joints being obtained by glands 33, 34, each of which is split longitudinally. A cross-seating carries a plug 31, the passage 32 of which is large enough to allow the short barrel 39 to be drawn clear of the cock. The cock is then closed, and a plugged length of service pipe passed tightly through the gland 33 in place of the barrel 39. The cock is then opened, and the service pipe is screwed into the socket 38*. The clamp and glands are each separated into two parts for removal. For gas mains, the clamp may take the form of two parts 27, 28, Fig. 8, having a rubber packing - strip between them, and enclosing a leather-faced flap valve 41, which is normally closed by the gas pressure but yields easily to permit the introduction of the service pipe.
