Title: Improvements in and relating to Wire Fabrics for Screens and Sieves.
Inventor: GREENING NATHANIEL
IPC: B21F27/18
Filed: 1911-12-02
Granted: 1912-12-02
Abstract: 27,000. Greening, N. Dec. 2. Wire fabrics for use in screening and sifting are formed from ordinary woven wire fabrics bv pressure between dies so that the resultant fabric presents a flat face on the screening side and has openings which are wider on the delivery than on the screening side. One effect of the pressure applied is to flatten the crests of the weft wires B,. thus depressing the portion of warp wires A lying underneath as shown in Figs. 3, 4, and 5. The apparatus used is shown in Fig. 6, and consists of a lower die H having a smooth surface and conical depressions K in which engage similar projections G on the upper die. Small pits L are provided at the bases of the projections G into which the metal is displaced at the intersection of the wires. The distance between the bases of the projections G is equal to or-slightly smaller than the diameter of the wire. The form of the projections employed produces meshes which are larger on the delivery side as shown in Fig. 9. The flats D produced by this method may be avoided by slightly grooving the face of the anvil H between the openings K in correspondence with the curvature of the wires.

Abstract: 22,370. Hodgson, J. L. Oct. 1. Integrating; drum recording - apparatus; damping-arrangements. - Integrating-mechanism for flow meters on the Venturi, Pitot, or like principle is provided with means for absorbing fluctuations. The movements to be measured rock a shaft A to which is clamped an arm B the bent end of which forms a distance-piece for a pair of springs C screwed to the arm. Between the springs lies a pin E on a sleeve G loose on the shaft and carrying an arm K. A link L from this operates a cam M to which is attached a brake surface N for engagement by a locking-lever R, which holds the cam when a feeler P is depressed thereon, the feeler carrying a pawl P<1> to actuate a counter Q. The pawl P<1> engages frictionally a steep groove in the counter wheel, the pawl and groove being arranged without or within the periphery of the wheel.
