Abstract: 22,027. Lovell, F. D. Sept. 22. Fibres, obtaining.-Fibres are obtained from banana-stem sheaths by cutting them into suitable lengths, passing them through rollers to express moisture, and then partly drying, shredding, and passing through heated rolls, whereby the strips are curled sufficiently for them to unite and form a mass resembling cotton-waste. The product is employed as a substitute for cotton - waste, a packing for journals, axle-boxes, &c., an absorbent material for medical purposes, as absorbent table mats, upholstery, non - conducting fillings between double partitions, floors, &c., a felt-like insert for footwear, and as a filling for casemates and compartments of ships for closing up'shot-holes.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Grinding Rollers and the like.
IPC: B24B5/22
Filed: 1910-11-03
Granted: 1911-05-11
Abstract: 25,592. Norma Cie., and Kirner, J. Nov. 24, 1909, [Convention date]. Rollers, treating.-A machine for grinding cylindrical rollers between two disks is constructed with a cage between the disks having radial slots in which the rollers are rotatively held, and in which they may be fed axially to distribute the wear on the disks and to allow of a feed and removal of the rollers. The disks 5, 6, mounted on a shaft, may be both of abrasive material, or one may be of metal, and one or both are rotary; between them, and also mounted on shaft 2 is a loose circular cage 9 having radial grooves 10, circular in crosssection except at the ends 11, 12. The rotation of the abrasive disk 5 grinds the rollers in the grooves 10 and causes a rotation of the cage. At each rotation, a cam 24 on the cage operates an arm 21 to turn a ratchet-wheel carrying a double cam 18, which gradually pushes a slide 14 into a circumferential groove 13 in the cage, and consequently shifts the rollers radially inward as the groove containing them comes round to the slide 14. When the rollers are pushed sufficiently far inwards, they escape through a duct 30, and the cam 18 allows the slide 14 to snap back and open the channel at the bottom of the hopper 28 to feed fresh rollers into the cage grooves.

The valveplate 7 is rocked on knife-edges 9 to close at 10 the gas-supply conduit 14 and open at 11 the burner conduit whenever the pressure in the casing 1 becomes sufficient to overcome the spring 17. An auxiliary supply pipe is normally closed by a valve 19, which is opened each time the valve-plate 7 swings downward except when one of a series of holes in the ratchet-wheel 22 comes over the valve stem 21. The ratchetwheel 22 is rotated by a pawl actuated by a diaphragm 31 which is acted on by a spring 32 and the varying pressure in the casing 1. The other side of the diaphragm 31 may be acted on by the pressure of gas in a casing 33 in the burner conduit 15, as shown in dotted lines, the spring 32 then being unnecessary, or it may be controlled by the pressure in the supply-pipe or any or all of these.
