Abstract: 27,408. Harris, N. Nov. 24. Collars, coat and like.-The collar of an overcoat or the like is constructed so that it may show either a lapel and turn-over collar or a " military " shape. The ends of the collar 23. terminate' at a short distance from the lapels 14, curved members 20, forming fastening-tabs 19, being interposed. When the coat is being worn with the ordinary collar, these tabs are secured by buttons to the body portion of the coat in the position shown in Fig. 3. To form the military collar, one lapel, with its adjacent tab, is laid out flat, and the opposite lapel is laid over it, the collar then folding along a line terminating at a point 24. The outer tab is then secured to the body of the overcoat as shown in Fig. 2. The shape of the tab members 20 is shown in Fig. 7; this formation enables them to form a stand for the collar in the military form.

Granted: 1911-07-13
Abstract: 29,890. Ambrus, D. Dec. 23. Reducing - valves. - Air is supplied at constant pressure from the compressed - air holders of a motor vehicle to the motor cylinders through a reducing- valve shown in Fig. 2. The pressure of air in the interior of the holder tends to force the valve on to its seating 2, this tendency being resisted by a spring 7 which abuts at one end against the adjustable flange 8, and at the other end bears against a guide ring 6 secured to the valve rod and sliding in the casing 3. The pressure of air supplied to the motor cylinders is thus kept practically constant, but can be varied by adjusting the flange 8 by means of a hand-wheel 11. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 2733/70.

Granted: 1911-09-28
Abstract: 9646. Forward, C. B. April 20. Mineral oils and tars, distilling ; bulk evaporators.-Artificial asphalt is prepared by heating petroleum residues, that is crude petroleum from which the lighter oils have been removed, at a temperature of approximately 625‹ F. until volatile substances are removed, and subsequently boiling the product at a lower temperature for a period dependent on the quality of the asphalt required. To assist in the removal of the volatile matter, the residue may be distilled in the presence of superheated steam or air, which is introduced into the still at higher level than that of the material in it. In the form shown in the Figure the petroleum residues are distilled in the still R, and the distillate collected in a series of vessels 1, 2, 3. Air supplied under pressure from the reservoir A is heated in the coil C and introduced into the still through the ring D. Any water that may be present is removed, either by heating to 175‹ F. and decanting, or by boiling it off at 240-250‹ F. When crude petroleum is used, the oil is first heated at a low temperature to remove gasoline and then the temperature is gradually raised.

Abstract: 12,611. Newton, P. A., [Ingersoll-Rand Co.]. May 28. Regulating compression.-Relates to unloading-mechanism for compound fluid-compressors of the kind in which the clearance spaces of the cylinders are put into communication with auxiliary receivers when predetermined pressnres are attained in a main receiver. In such mechanism, the compressed fluid operates controlling-devices which release the main receiver pressure or the intercooler pressure from the backs of valves between the cylinders and auxiliary receivers, and thus permit the valves to open. According to the invention, a single controlling-device is adapted to do the work of a number of controlling-devices as employed hitherto, and thereby unload the compressor step by step. The invention is described in connexion with a compound compressor having four auxiliary receivers and adapted to be unloaded in four steps by the successive opening of the valves of the following pairs of auxiliary receivers 10-15, 12-13, 9-16, and 11-14 respectively. The controlling - device comprises four slide valves 34-37, Fig. 5, which are adapted to put ports 61, 60 leading to the backs of the respective auxiliary receivers in communication with the atmosphere, by way of ports 48, or with the main receiver and intercooler respectively, according to the direction of motion of the valves. Compressed fluid from the main receiver is distributed to the valve-actuating pistons 41 by a single auxiliary slide valve 93, Fig. 4, attached to a weighted arm 79 subjected to main receiver pressure through the medium of a flexible diaphragm 78. To cause the valve to be operated after definite increments of the main receiver pressure, and thereby effect the step-by-step unloading, the arm 79 is provided with a graduated resistance which may consist, as shown, of weights 88 adapted to be applied successively, or may consist of a dash-pot or spring.
