Abstract: 11,949. Warwick Machinery Co., and Halliwell, R. F. May 13. Exhaust, treating.-In a plant comprising a compound or multiple - expansion turbine or other prime mover in which steam is withdrawn between the stages of expansion for heating or other purposes, the supply of steam to the high or low pressure stages is controlled in accordance with the pressure between the stages or in the auxiliary apparatus. In the arrangement shown, steam which has operated on the highpressure turbine wheel 10 passes in part to the low-pressure wheel 11 by the valves 33, 34, and in part to the heating apparatus by a passage 24. The valves 33, 34, and the valve 18 controlling the supply of high pressure steam to the wheel 10 are operated by a lever 38, the fulcrum of which is carried by a piston 26 acted on by a spring 29 and the steam pressure, so that, as the pressure in the intermediate space rises, the valve 18 is closed and the valves 33, 34 are opened. The lever 38 is operated by a relay piston 40, the valve 44 of which is controlled by the governor 48. The piston returns the valve to the neutral position,by the lever 47.

Abstract: 20,111. Carpentier, J. Nov. 5, 1909, [Convention date]. S e l e c t i v e punching- machines. - In an apparatus of the keyboard type for punching strip for signals on the Baudot system, each key spindle B has a combination of notches corresponding to its letter, and operates the rods d through the arms G, H, A. These rods d are then driven forward by the lever a to actuate the punches X. The belt - driven drum I is mounted loosely on the spindle 6 which is driven from the drum by the steel band 7. This band is attached at one end to the loosely-mounted arm M and at the other to the arm N, which is fixed on the spindle. When the stop Q on the lever R engages with the stop P on the arm N, the band 7 is unbent and loosened and the spindle is not driven. The depression of a key releases the stops P, Q, and the spindle rotates until the stop P strikes the second stop V on the lever R. When the key returns to its normal position, the stops P, V are released and the spindle 6 completes its revolution. During the first part of the revolution the arm a operates the punches, and afterwards the lever arm 13 moves forward the strip feed-wheel k through the arm 12 and pawl l.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Cleansing Crude India Rubber.
Inventor: NORZAGARAY LEONIDAS
Filed: 1910-09-24
Granted: 1911-09-25
Abstract: 22,201. Norzagaray, L. Sept. 24. Continuous-discharge apparatus with stationary containers.-Apparatus for extracting rubber from bark, or for cleansing or mixing crude rubber, or for coagulating latex, comprises a conical casing a with an internal screw groove b and a side inlet e, and a cylinder k having a spiral rib l and vertical teeth m on its surface, rotatable in the conical casing. Water or other liquid is supplied to the casing by a tap (not shown), and flows out through the taps d, d<1>, the level being maintained constant. Bark or crude rubber is placed in a tube f, and forced through the inlet e by a sliding weight g, the cylinder k is rotated, and the material, as it passes up the casing, is masticated, and foreign matter is washed out. In a modification, the casing is surrounded by a steam or water jacket, and the material is fed into the apparatus by a worm. The vertical teeth on the cylinder may extend further from the surface than the helical rib, and this may be serrated. When the material reaches the top of the apparatus, it is cut by a knife on the cylinder, which passes over a fixed knife, and passed through pivoted hanging bars which prevent its return, into a shoot. For coagulating latex, all outlets are closed and the casing is filled with a coagulant. Latex is fed into the inlet and the cylinder rotated.

Title: Improvements in Aerial Propellers.
Inventor: JONES WALTER HERBERT
IPC: B64C11/34
Filed: 1910-11-23
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 27,237. Jones, W. H. Nov. 23. Screw propellers.-The pitch of an aerial propeller is automatically varied to suit the engine speed by making use of the centrifugal force due to the rotation of the blades. The blades 3, Fig. 1, are pivoted eccentrically on a disk 2<a>, carried by the engine shaft 2, and their shanks 4, Figs. 1, 3, and 4, pass through a pinion 15, Fig. 3, and are pivoted on a pin 11, Fig. 4, adjustable in a slot 13. When the propeller is rotated, the blades 3 tend to adopt a more radial position, but in doing so, the pinion 15 bears against rack teeth 12 and is turned through an angle, thus increasing the pitch of the propeller. In order to enable an aeroplane engine to be started while on the ground, without urging the machine forward, the rod 17 is moved forward by the cam and cam-lever 18, thus engaging in a slot in a sliding block 16, and locking the propeller blades in the position of neutral pitch.

Abstract: 27,759. Duret, H. Nov. 29. Buttons. - A covering of fabric is tightly stretched over the concave surface of a button by means of a stud, the head of which may be ornamental. The stud has a screw - threaded shank passing through the button and held by engagement with flexible tongues in a metal disk. Fig. 5 shows an example in which the metal front portion 1, covered by fabric 3, is formed with a central circular depression. The screwed shank 12 of the decorative stud 11 engages with tongues 6 formed on the edge of a hole in a disk 4, which is backed by another perforated disk 7. The button is completed by a back part 9 and a shank of fabric 10. The contour of the concave portion 1 may be modified, as, for example, by forming the depression eccentrically, or of elliptical shape. In a further modification, Fig. 18, an auxiliary decorative member 20 is interposed between the ornamental clamping-member 25 and the front portion 1. Both parts 20, 25 may, as shown, be covered with fabric. The buttons are stamped to the required shape by means of suitable dies, several forms of which are illustrated, which are used in ordinary hand-worked machines.

Abstract: 6528. Marks, E. C. R., [Max Ams Machine Co.]. March 15. Seaming.-In a can-seaming machine seaming-rollers are mounted on a carrier actuated by an eccentric which is rotated relatively slowly to bring the rollers into operation. The eccentric 30 is driven by a worm from a countershaft 33, the driving-clutch 46 of which is operated from a rod 38, which is put into operation on lowering the handle 27 to lift the work-table 26 into the clamping position; a lever 39 connected to the rod 38 carries a roller 41 at its end, which normally engages a depression in a collar 35 to keep the seaming-rollers in inoperative position; depression of the handle therefore raises the roller 41 and allows one revolution of the eccentric. The work-table 26 is raised by the lever 27 through links 63 connected to a collar on a sleeve 60. The roller-carrier 54 has a pin 55 projecting into a radial slot 56 in a flange 53, which allows radial movement only of the carrier. In a modification, the eccentric is driven by variable-speed mechanism to give a slow feed and quick return for the rollers; this is effected by eccentric gear-wheels 67, 68, Fig. 5.
