Granted: 1913-04-03
Abstract: 28,637. Tarpin, [nÚe Terrier], M. Dec. 16, 1911, [Convention date]. Jacks.-In rack-and-pinion lifting-jacks in which the actuating lever or handle is rigidly connected to the rack-engaging pinion, the rigid connexion is secured by forming teeth on the lever which fit the teeth on the pinion. Fig. 2 shows the jack comprising a slidable rack-bar d engaged by the pinion f. The operating-lever is made up of two parts k, out of line with each other. The part l is pivoted on the pinion shaft, while the inner end of the part k is fitted with teeth bevelled at one edge so that the lever can be moved axially on the shaft g into engagement with the teeth on the pinion. The lever, when engaged, is rotated to raise the rack. A ratchet-wheel j at the other end of the shaft g is engaged by a pawl h to sustain the loaded rack-bar. A projection m on the pawl shaft is engaged by a projection o on a pivoted counterweight n, thus pressing the pawl into engagement with the ratchet-wheel during lifting. For lowering, the counterweight is raised beyond the vertical position until the projection o<1> engages the member m. The counterweight then disengages the pawl after it has been relieved of the weight of the loaded rack-bar. After lowering for a predetermined distance, the adjustable member s on the operating-lever engages the tail r of the counterweight, and, by overturning the counterweight, re-engages the pawl.

Granted: 1913-06-26
Abstract: 29,157. Ges. zur Verwertung von Feuerwaffen Patenten. Dec. 18, 1911, [Convention date]. [Addition to 24,129/11.] Breech-actions, sliding breech-block.-Relates to guns of the kind described in the parent Specification in which an auxiliary spring is provided which opposes a great resistance to the initial recoil of the breech-block, and subsequently aids the recoil, and consists (1) in mounting the spring between a long arm and a short arm of a pair of two-armed levers pivoted to the gun casing, the short arm of the first lever being directly operated by the recoiling breech-block, and the long arm of the second lever being permanently pivoted to the rear-end of the breech-block, the arrangement being such that the first lever is released from the breech-block after a short recoil during which the spring is stressed, and is held in its released position by a pawl, thereby enabling the stressed auxiliary spring to aid the further recoil movement, (2) in providing means whereby the movement of the first lever cocks the percussion hammer, and (3) in means for permitting the gun to fire single shots or automatically. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the breech-block 4 carries a spring pawl 9, which engages the short arm of a lever 2 pivoted to the gun casing at 13. The auxiliary spring 14 is arranged between the long arm of this lever and the short arm of a second lever 1 pivoted to the casing at 17, the long arm of the lever 1 being joined by a link 18 to the breech-block 4 and controlled by a spring 3 fixed to the casing. At the commencement of the recoil, the pawl 9 rotates the lever 2 and stresses the spring 14 until the pawl slips off the end of the lever. A pawl 19 on the casing then holds the lever in its released position and enables the stressed spring 14, through the lever 1 and link 18, to assist further recoil until the breech - block strikes a stop 32 and, through the link 33, releases the pawl 19. The breech-block is then returned by the spring 3, but the spring 14 is held slightly stressed by a pawl 31 until the breech pawl 9 re-engages the lever 2; the spring 14 then presses the breech-block firmly against the barrel 5. The lever 2 carries an arm 20, which, on recoil, rotates the lever 21 and cocks the hammer 23. The sear 25 is disengaged by pull on the trigger transmitted through a rod 28. To allow of continuous firing when the trigger is kept pulled, a second pawl 29 operated by the movements of the breech pawl 9 engages the hammer. This pawl 29 is tripped automatically each time the breech-block returns to the closing position. At the instant of firing, the hammer 23 prevents rotation of the pawl 9, and a secure locking of the breech is ensured.

Abstract: 5533. Fabriques de Produits de Chimie Organique de Laire. March 7, 1912, [Convention date]. Hexamethylenetetramine derivatives; aldehydes; ketones.-Aldehydes and ketones are prepared by boiling a mixture of hexamethylenetetramine and organic monohalogen compounds with water or aqueous alcohol. In this manner aldehyde is prepared from ethyl halides, benzaldehyde from benzyhalides, isovaleric aldehyde from isoamyl iodide, acrolein from allyl iodide, toluic aldehydes from w-monobromxylenes, hexanal nonanal, decanal, dodecanal, undecanal from the corresponding alkyl halides, cumic aldehyde from p-isopropylbenzylchloride, salicylaldehyde from the carbonate of w-chlora-cresol, and acetophenone from a-chlorethylbenzene. The process may be modified by first preparing addition compounds of hexamethylenetetramine and the organic halogen compounds such as benzylchloride and xylylbromide and then boiling the products with water. A mixture of ammonia and formaldehyde may be used instead of hexamethylenetetramine. Specifications 21,203/95, 17,693/97, and 4804/99 are referred to.

Filed: 1913-03-08
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 5779. Taylor, Ltd., T., and Taylor, T. March 8. Figured fabrics; double fabrics.-Quilts, toilet covers, and other figured fabrics are made with a fine smooth ground of calico weave formed from fine warp threads and fine wefts, and the figured portions are of the same weave formed from the same yarns. Two picks of fine weft and two picks of coarse weft are inserted in succession, the coarse picks being interwoven in a plain or calico weave with a coarse back stitching- warp at the back of the ground, while, as shown in Fig. 1, some only of these coarse picks interweave with the stitching-warp at the back of the figure, thus forming a pocket, the remaining coarse picks being utilized to wad the figure. The stitching-yarn also binds together the two calico weaves in the ground, but, as it contains only half as many ends as the face yarn and is more heavily weighted, it does not interfere with the smooth effect on the face of the cloth. The fabric may be woven ten picks to the round, as shown in Fig. 3, the jacquard machine controlling the stitching-yarn working two and two, that is with one set of griffs up for two picks and the other set up for two picks, so that there are two picks, namely one coarse and one fine pick, in each shed made by the jacquard. The face yarn is shown as being controlled by healds, but it may be controlled by jacquard harness. In the figure, the stitching - yarn ends are always down (under the control of the jacquard), except that they are operated by the comber boards at the picks 11, 12 to form a kind of matting weave, the fine yarn being raised clear by the healds to prevent interweaving. The fabric may be woven eight to the round, or, as shown in Figs. 7 and 9, four to the round, the coarse weft being used solely for wadding the figure, and the matting picks, that is the picks corresponding to 11, 12 in Fig. 3, being omitted. One weft only, instead of a fine and a coarse weft, may be used.
