Abstract: 10,086. Latimer, A. April 28. [Cognate Application, 22,430/09.] Detachable-rim attachments to wheels ; tyre attachments to rims.-To facilitate the manipulation of a pneumatic tyre, a detachable rim is constructed of a flexible nature radially while being continuous and inextensible circumferentially. In the form shown in Fig. 1, segments a of channel or like section are secured to one or more flexible bands c, the ends of the segments being shaped as shown to allow of radial deformation of the complete rim. The rim may be secured against a fixed angle-ring on the wheel felloe by means' of a detachable flange and transverse bolts. In a modification, the rim segments are hinged together. Figs. 8 and 9 show an arrangement in which the rim segments a carry distance-blocks a', certain of which are fitted with arms a<4>, a<5>, by which the rim is secured to the felloe d. A fixed stop d<2>, or a series of stops, may be fitted to prevent creeping.

Abstract: 23,611. Booth, J. Oct. 15. Card games, card shufflers for. The pack of cards is first divided into three portions by vertical plates F with their edges arranged as shown at I, H, Fig. 1. These portions fall upon inclined U-shaped fingers D brought into position by pushing-in a rod L by means of a button a. The fingers are slowly retracted by the running-down of a spring motor, previously wound up by a rack N attached to the rod L allowing the cards successively to fall off on each side of the finger D. The shuffled cards next fall between spring-hinged plates P, which may be opened, if required, by a button V. The cards thus arrive at a pivoted box C turned by a handle S'. The box carries a loop Q which acts on a hinged finger U and forces it through a slot in the box to eject the cards from an opening Z, suitably shaped to guide them outwards.

Abstract: 24,521. Morris, F. S., Kirke, P. St. G., and Lloyd, G. E. Oct. 26. Dash-pots. - Relates to apparatus in which a part connected to a piston a, and having a tendency to reciprocate under the action of internal forces, is prevented from moving in one or the other direction according as a fluid is prevented from passing through non-return valves j from the upper to the lower side of the piston or vice versa, while the piston is free to move in the opposite direction. According to the invention the direction of motion is determined by varying the load on the valve springs either by hand or by a governor. As described, the piston a is connected with a throttle valve, and the valves are governor-controlled. The piston a may be connected elastically with a cam or eccentric, or be vibrated by revolving or reciprocating masses. One or both ends of the cylinder b may communicate with an air vessel i, or one end of the cylinder may be open, fluid being allowed to flow from and to the other end.

There are two lifting-bars 23, which are moved vertically in opposite directions by a crank-and-lever mechanism and are each provided with two blades 23<1>. When a pattern pin 15<2> raises a lever 30, the corresponding bar 27 is moved inwards and the hook 25 on the upper end of the corresponding outer upright is moved out of the path of the outer blade 23' of the upper lifting-bar 23, while the hook on the lower end of the inner upright is moved into engagement with the inner blade 23<1> of the lower lifting-bar, the inner upright being thus drawn down, and, by its connexion with the upper end of a heald 18, this heald is raised. When a pattern lever 30 is allowed to fall, the reverse action takes place, and the corresponding heald is lowered. The hooks on the shorter limbs of the uprights are engaged by the blades 23<1> on their inward movement, whereby all the healds are brought to a central position after each pick. The pattern barrel is driven by worm gearing. The bars 27 are guided by upright pins on bars which extend beneath them and are connected to end bars.

Abstract: 22,324. Johnson, G. W., [Hall, D. K.]. Sept. 26. Breaking and scutching apparatus; feeding and transferring flax &c.-Relates to apparatus for removing bark, dirt, and other adhering matter from the root or butt ends of jute, so that the fibre may be obtained from the whole length of the plant. A metal scutching-drum A has preferably two kinds of projections, namely plates and pointed pins or spikes alternating with the plates, both extending either along a part or throughout the whole length of the drum. The plates are preferably serrated as shown in Fig. 7, and the serrations and the pins or spikes are so set that the jute under treatment is caused to travel along the face of the drum. The ends under treatment are supported by suitable means, such as a breast-plate k, the upper part of which may be recessed for the feed belt or chain. The material is clamped between upper and lower feed - chains C, C<2>, Fig. 4, and, during scutching, the upper chains are pressed down by adjustable springs and rollers C<3>, and the lower chains may be driven frictionally from the upper chains. The middle lower chains has no corresponding upper chain and gives a bend to the jute which causes a better grip. Two lower and three upper chains may be used if desired. The holder may comprise a chain b, Fig. 16, of suitably - shaped metal links, and a band or bands c of steel, leather, fabric, or rope, pressed down by spring rollers acting on a plate c'; or pieces d, Fig. 11, hinged to the chain may be substituted for the band or bands. The jute may be held in recesses e, Fig. 17, in a drum E by grooved pulleys f carried by a swinging frame f<2>, spring rollers g pressing down each pulley f during the action of the drum A. The bands or chains between which' the jute is held may be mounted on pulleys at right-angles to each other, as shown in Fig. 18; or the jute may be held by means of spring pulleys or by using a drum j<2>, Fig. 10, to deflect the bands.

Abstract: 2498. Lake, W. E., [Ingersoll-Rand Co.]. Jan. 31. Percussive channelling-drills.-Relates to mining-machines of the kind described in Specification 25,987/10. Instead of being mounted on a truck, the machine is mounted on feet which slide along the track 2. The two front feet 6 are mounted on spring blades 8 carried by blocks 9 secured to the platform 5 of the machine. The two back feet are mounted on a yoke 7, which is pivoted at its centre to the platform 5, which is thus supported at three points. A stop is provided on the front end of the track to contact with the feet and prevent the machine from running off the track. The haulage chain 65 has at one end a hook which engages the end of the track and at the other end a bracket which is bolted to the track. The winch 73 which propels the machine by acting on the chain has a clutch consisting of a disk which is frictionally held between two other disks. The machine is prevented from being accidentally displaced along the track by a brake-block 88, Fig. 6, adapted to be moved under the action of a spring 89 into contact with one of the gear-wheels 80 employed for operating the winch. The block 88 is so connected to the operating-lever 83 of the motor which drives the winch .that, on moving the lever from its mid-position to start the motor, the brake-block is taken off the wheel, these connexions however, tending to return the lever to its mid-position. To facilitate the loading of the truck 103, Fig. 1<a>, the truck is moved slowly relatively to the conveyer by means of a hand winch 112, on the conveyer, and a cable 105, which is hooked on to the front of the truck and carried round pulleys 108, 110; or the pulley 108 may be dispensed with, and the truck drawn in the opposite direction. Mounted on the puncher of the machine are a search-lamp and a water-pipe, for directing a beam of light and a water jet upon the part of the rock on which the puncher is operating. The chains of the conveyer are partly enclosed for part of their length by angled bars to prevent displacement.
