Granted: 1908-04-02
Abstract: 23,517. Justice, P. M., [Fiat-San Giorgio (Soc. Anon.)]. Oct. 24. Explosive mines.-A submarine mine for countermining and for clearing obstructions, adapted to explode at a certain depth and after the lapse of a certain time, comprises two air-tight cases 1, 5 connected by ropes 7. For transport, these are fastened together by means of bolts 3 and cotters 4. The upper case 1 has a hole 22 in its base, and a vent plug 2 which allows the mine to sink gradually. The lower case contains the explosive charge 6 and carries a firing-device 8. This comprises a piston 10 movable in a cylinder 11 and connected by guides 18 to a ring 19, a port 12 in the cylinder 11 opening outside, ports 13 communicating with the case 5, a hammer 16 normally retained by catches 17 and operated by a spring 14 which abuts against the stem 15 of the piston 10, a primer 20, and a detonator 21. When water enters the port 12 and forces the piston 12 down, the ring 19 comes against the catches 17, which give a slight additional compression to the spring 14 and then release the hammer 16. The depth at which the explosion takes place, and the lapse of time, can be regulated by means of the vent 2, the port 12, and the spring 14.

Abstract: 27,661. Lindenstamm. E. Schnizer, Edler von, Spitzer, K., Mundl, T., and Hauptmann, F. Dec. 14. Vacuum cleaning-apparatus. - Relates to portable vacuum cleaning- apparatus of the kind comprising a boiler, and a steam air ejector for passing the dust-laden air into a condenser, and consists in means for silencing the steam entering the condenser. The portable frame 1 carries a boiler 2 communicating by a pipe 3 with a steam air-ejector 5, which is of the known construction shown in Fig. 4, and is mounted in the cover of the condenser. The silencing is effected by reducing the pressure and velocity of the steam, and for this purpose, the steam exhaust pipe 9 is provided with a screwed extension 10, the lower portion of which forms a curved conical baffle 12. An annular flaring outlet for the steam is thus provided. The steam further passes through a sieve 13, and then along a pipe 14 into the boiler chimney. The steam nozzle 6 does not project beyond the inner wall of the elbow 7 of the air-suction pipe into which it enters, and the combining-tube 5 is preferably tapered.

Granted: 1908-07-23
Abstract: 2753. Thomas, W. P. Feb. 7. Motor road vehicles.- Relates to chain or gear cases for motor and other vehicles in which the suspension permits the case to adapt itself to the action of the springs of the vehicle. The end of the countershaft has a bearing C, Fig. 2, attached in place of the usual nut, on which is carried a plate E provided with longitudinal slots, Fig. 1, through which pass bolts F fixed to the case. In this way, the case can be adjusted in relation to the sprocket. The case may be supported at the driven sprocket upon brake or other drums H, K, Fig. 2, by means of felt or other flexible retaining-washers. Arms L may be used in place of, or in addition to these drums. The arms may be two in number, secured to the axle and extending vertically, or nearly so in both directions. Adjustable set-pins N engaging longitudinal grooves O on the case can move transversely by means of slots in the arm L. Thus the yielding of springs is allowed for in all directions by the sliding attachments.

Abstract: 7580. Pianko, S., and Knaster, M. April 6. [Patent of Addition to No. 28,743, A.D. 1907.] Hides and skins, tanned or tawed, treating.-Consists of improvements in the process described in Specification No. 28,743, A.D. 1907, for giving inner splits the finish of upper-grain dyed leather by treating them on one surface with castor oil mixed with dissolved celluloid and colouring- matter and then graining them. According to the present invention, (a) the previously described process is applied to both sides of the splits ; (b) a grained leather of natural colour is obtained by treating splits with celluloid or other mixture containing nitro-cellulose and castor or other matt-drying oil without the addition of colouring- matter ; and (c) faulty sheets of leather containing holes or flaws are made sound by having the defects covered with pieces of leather, after which the whole sheet is covered with a layer of the celluloid composition. Similarly, large uniform sheets may be built up by coating with the mixture, on one or both sides, an assemblage of small pieces of inner splits with or without the use of a complete covering-sheet of split leather. The above processes are applicable to leather for purses, pocket-books, gloves, and fancy goods.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Screw Driving Machines.
Inventor: HUNT WILSON PERCIVAL
Filed: 1908-05-11
Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 10,239. Hunt, W. P. May 11. Screws, screwing into place.-In a screw-driving machine the screws are automatically arranged in a magazine side by side in single file and ejected by a treadle-operated plunger into spring-jaws where they are engaged by revolving bits reciprocated longitudinally by a treadle. A standard, which carries a vertically-adjustable table, has bearings for the driving-shaft b and for the reciprocating tubular shaft d, which receives the screw-driving spindle 7. The shaft b drives the shaft d by wormgearing and also drives by the worm F and wormwheel e'a a shaft e, which carries a table G with a bevelled rim, between which and a bevelled internal flange on a circular side wall E of the magazine a circular runway x is formed to receive the screws which are suspended by their heads and are fed one by one to a shoot g. A segmental bar M covers the runway to prevent the screws from climbing upon each other and a circular wire brush. h<3> for keeping the surplus screws out of the runway is rotated by a worm - wheel from the worm F. The screw is held over the shoot by a spring-latch k, Fig. 11, and is driven down through a segmental plate J into position between the grooved ends of spring-jaws 12, Fig. 7, which pass through slots in a filter tube by a vertical plunger 2 having a stopfinger 3 on its lower extremity passing through an opening in the bar M and through the runway. The plunger is provided with adjustable collars 33, 32 and is held by a spring 39 in its raised position. It is reciprocated by an arm 30 on a sleeve 15 which is fixed between nuts 16, 17 and a screwed collar 18 on the shaft d, which is forced down by a lever 19 fulcrumed. to pivoted links and operated by a treadle-lever and contraction-spring. The collar 18 receives a friction disk 25 which communicates rotation to the spindle 7 through a disk 27 pressed down by a spring adjusted by nuts 28. When the screw has been turned a predetermined distance on the work, the resistance offered by the screw to turning overcomes the pressure of the spring, and the shaft 7 stops rotating.

Abstract: 20,380. Farag¾, A. Sept. 6. Diffusion apparatus for liquids. - Solutions are concentrated by osmosis, without heating, by passing the liquid to be concentrated through a tubular system of semi-permeable material, around which a concentrated solution of a salt flows in a reverse direction. This solution is conveniently contained in an outer tubular system. Sugar solutions may be concentrated by this process, and it is suitable for solutions of explosive substances. The tubular system may consist of clay pipes, the pores of which have been filled with a precipitate, such as copper ferrocyanide. The diluted salt solution is regenerated chemically, for example, in the case of calcium chloride by rendering alkaline and precipitating calcium carbonate, which is dissolved in hydrochloric acid.
