Title: Improvements in Air Compressors.
Inventor: MILNE CHARLES ALEXANDER
IPC: F04B27/10
Filed: 1912-05-13
Granted: 1912-08-22
Abstract: 11,312. Milne, C. A., McCracken, D., and Graham, B. May 13. Pump-actuating mechanism.-Pistons working in parallel cylinders, shown as borings, arranged in a circle co-axial with a driving-shaft 22, are reciprocated by a cam 21 through the medium of pairs of anti-friction rollers 15 located in slots in the piston-rods, which are supported against lateral movement by members 20 bearing against a surrounding casing 16. Each piston is loosely fitted on the reduced end of the piston-rod by means of a transverse pin. The cam-shaft is adjustable longitudinally by means of a nut 26, to enable the piston stroke and resulting compression to be varied.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Blocking Hats.
Inventor: PARSONS BERTIE
IPC: A42C1/04
Filed: 1912-05-24
Granted: 1913-05-22
Abstract: 12,363. Parsons, B. May 24. Blocking.-In hat-blocking machines of the type in which a rubber diaphragm is forced into the hat by fluid pressure, the diaphragm being carried by a ' cap ' guided by one or more rods sliding through a cross-head, a latch is provided which, when the ' cap ' is lowered, springs between the upper end of the guiding- rod and the lower surface of the cross-head. The cap c slides on side rods f, Figs. 1, 2, and 4, and is also provided with a guiding - rod d passing through a cross-head e. On a shaft l are fixed pulleys j for the balance-weight chains h and a lever n for lowering the cap. Pivoted underneath the cross-head is a latch o, having an extended flattened portion p pressed against the rod d by a spring plunger q, and an arm t for releasing the latch. The edge bearing against the rod d d may be flattened as shown, or shaped to the contour of the rod; and when the rod is in its lowest position the latch is pushed between its upper end and the lower surface of the cross-head, thus keeping it depressed. A bracket 8, through which the rod passes, keeps it in alinement when it has left the cross-head. In the case of two rods, the modified form shown in Fig. 6 is adopted. Figs. 7 and 7<A> show means for releasing the latch by a trigger 6 pivoted on the lever n and operating through links 5, 4, and a bent lever 3 to slide a rod y through guides z carried by the pulley j. When the lever n is brought to its lowest position the turned-over ends 7 of the rod y can engage the arm t and so withdraw the latch when the trigger 6 is gripped. In a further modification, Figs. 9 and 11, the lever n is fixed to a cam 10, loose on the shaft l, and connected to the pulley j by a lost-motion device such as a pin 11 and slot 12. A roller 13 on the arm t bears on the cam which has a depressed portion 15 and an incline 14, so that, at the end of the stroke of the lever n, the latch o comes into operation; on the return stroke, the lost-motion device permits the latch to be removed before the pulley j is rotated to raise the cap. A connecting-rod 9, Fig. 2, may be placed between the lever n or the pulley j and the cap c.

Title: Improved Manufacture of Isoprene or a Hydrocarbon similar thereto.
Inventor: CALLENDER WILLIAM MARSHALL
IPC: C07C4/22
Filed: 1912-02-24
Granted: 1913-02-13
Abstract: 17,397. Callender, W. M. Feb. 24. Hydrocarbon oils, cracking.-Hydrocarbons resembling isoprene are obtained by passing the mixed vapours of turpentine and an oil or spirit having about the same boiling-point as turpentine through a heated copper &c. tube, and separating from the product the portion that distils up to 70‹ C. A suitable oil is paraffin oil, three parts of which may be mixed with one of turpentine and vaporized. The residue from the fractional distillation may be repeatedly passed through the heated tube and the products fractionated as before. According to the Provisional Specification, coal tar or some of its constituents, such as cumarone, may be dissolved in turpentine, the solution distilled, and the distillate mixed with the paraffin oil &c.

Abstract: 17,578. Powers, D. W., and Tebbe, F. H. July 29. Dampers.-A stove-pipe damper is pivotally mounted so as to move under the action of the draught, and has means for limiting the movement and or holding it in desired positions. The damper 23 is carried by the bent arm 26 of a lever loosely mounted on the rod 15, the other arm 28 of which carries adjustably a counterweight 29. The rod 15 is mounted in a box 8 depending from the stove pipe passing through the sides of the box, and being prevented from axial movements by a washer 17 and a spring 20 which engage the sides of the box. Adjustment of the weight 29 varies the amount which the damper opens under the action of the draught. The rod 15 carries U-shaped arms 30 which are engaged by the arm 28, and is capable of rotation by the handle 16. The rod 15 may be held in any desired position by the spring 20, and the arms 30 may be so placed that they may limit the opening or closing of the damper, or permit it to have free movement.

Abstract: 10,400. Schoeller & Co., and Albrecht, M. April 27. Gas analysis. - In apparatus for detecting injurious gases in mines and other places, and working on the diffusion principle, the indicating U-tube is of such small section and the liquid is of such small mass that it can only be moved out of position very slowly by shaking, and the indicating-tube is placed in the path of the rays of light from the miner's lamp on which the device is carried, and is arranged so that an increase in pressure of the liquid in the diffusion chamber causes a bubbling of gas through the liquid. In the apparatus shown, the diffusion chamber 5 is arranged above the lamp 2, and the indicating-tube 6 is arranged at the side of the lamp. To insure that no liquid shall escape from the tube, liquid traps consisting of tubes 9, 10 are provided. A valve 11 enables the pressures inside and outside the diffusion chamber to be equalized.
