Title: Improvements in jacquards and like mechanism for looms and knitting or other machines
IPC: D03C3/24
Filed: 1928-07-19
Abstract: 306,473. Dunser, A. Feb. 21, 1928, [Convention date]. Jacquards; cards; pattern surfaces.-In apparatus for controlling the differently coloured warp threads in a loom, or the patterning needles of a knitting machine, a series of feelers 1 co-operate with a pattern in relief 16 and a series of needles 7 threaded through holes in the feelers 1 co-operate with cards 14 having rows of perforations corresponding in number to the number of differently coloured threads &c. The pattern 16 is traversed by a screw and nut 18, 17 and the feelers are adjustable laterally by means of another screw 4 to distribute wear of the parts. As shown in Fig. 1, each needle guide 3 is lifted at each operation, but in falling each feeler 1 is arrested by the pattern 16 and the needle 7 takes up some position as shown. If this position is such that the needle 7 passes through a hole in the card 14 when this moves to the right, the needle is not moved and its bulbous end 9 does not push the spring hook 12 beyond the end of the guide 3 which, when next lifted, lifts also the hook 12 and the thread 15 connected to its appropriate part of the knitting machine, or warp thread. As shown in Fig. 3, all the needles 7 which do not pass through holes in the card 14 are pushed to the right by the card and push corresponding balls 20 out of holes in a metal card 19. When the card 19 lifts, wires 12 engage the vacant holes 20 and are thereby lifted but are disengaged from the card when it drops again. As shown in Fig. 4, warp threads of three different colours are used, each set being controlled by a separate relief pattern 21, 22, 23.

Abstract: 405,286. Supports for electric incandescent lamp filaments. ADAMS, M., c/o Colony Club, 62nd Street, HOWE, R. F., 102, West 85th Street, both in New York, and NUTTING, P. G., 3216, Oliver Street, Washing- ton, both in U.S.A. July 26, 1932, No. 21110. Convention date, Aug. 4, 1931. [Class 39 (ii).] In a high-powered incandescent electric lamp having an exhausted bulb and a filament comprising a plurality of coiled parallel sections connected in series, the filament is carried by a pair of frame members which function as leading-in conductors and which have means for supporting each section of the filament in such a manner as to allow free expansion of the section, tilting of the filament relatively to the bulb, when the lamp is used in other than a vertical position, being prevented by a member connected to the frame members and engaging a restricted portion of the bulb opposite the end thereof at which the frame members enter. In one construction the frame members comprise pairs of wires 3, 4 and 5, 6, formed as shown and sealed into a restricted portion 2 of the bulb 1. The ends of the filament 19 are connected to the frame members and the sections of the filament are supported by hooks 13-17 which are mounted on zirconia blocks 9, 12 carried by the frame members. The hooks 13-17, which are formed by wrapping metal strip around the blocks 9, 12 only loosely engage the filament, as shown in Fig. 2, in order that the sections may freely expand independently of the frame members. The sections may be further supported by a zirconia block 22 which is carried by the wires 3, 6 and has metal projections 23, each of which is fastened, preferably by welding, to the middle coil of a section. To support the filament and frame members when the lamp is used in an inclined or horizontal position, the bulb is formed with a rectangular constriction 27 adapted to receive loosely a metal sleeve 26 which is carried by uprights 24, 25 secured to the zirconia block 9. A metal cap 28, having an insulating base 29 through which the wires 3-6 pass, may surround the restricted portion 2 of the bulb, the cap fitting into a metal cup 30 formed with overlapping fingers 33 which grip the cap. The cap and cup are retained in position by nuts 32 which are threaded on the ends of the wires 3-6. In a modified construction the cap is of insulating material.

Title: Method of producing alloys of very refractory carbides
IPC: C22C1/05
Filed: 1928-04-23
Abstract: 276,011. Schrobsdorff, W. April 23, 1928. [A Specification was laid open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, Aug. 13, 1927]. Alloys.-Hard alloys are made by melting carbides of refractory metals, such as tantalum, niobium, vanadium, tungsten, molybdenum, or uranium, with less than their own weight of the corresponding metals. Part of the refractory metals or carbides may be replaced by cobalt, nickel, chromium, or iron, or by a carbide of cobalt, chromium, or iron. The alloys may be made by forming an alloy of the metals and adding this to the carbides; or two alloys each containing a carbide and a metal may be melted together. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) describes hard alloys of carbides of refractory metals such as tungsten and molybdenum, not containing free carbon, and containing also a metal which does not form a carbide at below 3000‹ C., for example metals of the platinum group or noble metals down to copper. Niobium or niobium carbide may also be present. Some of the metals may be used in the form of reducible compounds, and in some cases the carbides may be formed by starting with the powdered metals and using a carburizing atmosphere in the melting process. The alloys are cast at a temperature 50‹ C. above the melting point. Alloys of the following compositions are referred to; (1) tungsten carbide, iron carbide, tantalum, nickel, iridium; (2) tantalum, niobium, copper, platinum, molybdenum-tungsten double carbide, iron carbide, chromium carbide; (3) tungsten carbide, platinum, tantalum, niobium carbide; (4) tungsten carbide, tantalum, nickel, niobium carbide. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 264,528 and 270,640.

Abstract: 424,241. Rivets. HUCK, L. C., 541, Lincoln Road, Grosse Pointe Village, Michigan, U.S.A. Aug. 3, 1933, Nos. 21809 and 21810. Convention dates, Aug. 3, 1932 and July 20, 1933. [Class 89 (i)] [See also Group VII] A tubular rivet 10 having a pin 13 therein is riveted in an opening 22 in structures 23, 24 by forming a head 25 on a tube 11 by relative longitudinal movement of the pin 13 and locking the pin 13 and tube 11 against recoil by upsetting a part to effect interlocking engagement between the pin and the tube. The tube 11 is provided with an enlarged head 12 and with an end 16 adapted to engage a groove 15 in the pin 13. The head 14 of the pin is adapted to engage the end of the tube 11 and to form a bulbed head 25 when the pin is pulled against a reactive force supplied by an anvil 27. After formation of the head 25 an anvil 28 is moved so as to contract the head 12 and upset it into grooves 18 on the pin, which is then broken off at a weakened neck 20. In a modification, Fig. 7, the tube is formed with a bevelled head 30<1> adapted to seat in a countersunk recess 31 in the structure 24. The head 25 is formed as before, but the parts are interlocked by forcing a ring 34 between grooves 36, 37 in the pin and cylindrical and tapered internal portions of the head 30<1>. The head 14 may be polygonal and the grooves 18 or 36, 37 in the form of screw-threads so that the pin can be unscrewed from the tube. The groove 15 may be dispensed with or a number of such grooves may be provided. In further modifications, the central internal portion of the tube is of reduced diameter and is expanded by a shoulder on the pin, thus securing a tight fit in the structures to be riveted. The end of the tube is hardened and a ring or collar may be provided between it and the head of the pin. The head of the tube has an enlarged internal diameter and thus provides space for surplus metal forced out by expansion of the central portion. The head of the tube is finally upset into the grooves in the pin. The length of the pin may be varied according to the space available behind the structure and the grooves may be placed on one or the other side of the expanding shoulder accordingly. The tube may be expanded before the bulbed head is formed or both operations may take place simultaneously according to the distance of the expanding shoulder from the head of the pin. Specification 402,813 is referred to.

Filed: 1923-12-29
Abstract: 230,370. Swift, G. W. Dec. 29, 1923. Folding paper.-A web-folding machine is provided with means for longitudinally folding the lateral portions of the web inwardly and outwardly upon the central portion of the web, the web being given a final longitudinal fold upon a line extending centrally through the previously unfolded portion and may then be cut into lengths. The web 12 passes from a roll 11 mounted on the framing 1, over a guide roller 13 and under the first pair of inclined folding frames 15. Each of these frames is triangular in shape with the bottom corner cut away so as to form a straight edge 16, the side corners 19 so formed defining the first fold in the web and also defining the central unfolding part of the web. From the frames 15, the web passes to frames 50, 60, the frame 50 being formed by two bars arranged in a parallel plane to the frames 15 and being inclined toward each other so that their lower ends nearly meet; the frames 60 are similar to the frames 15. The frame 50 defines the second fold in the web and the frames 60 the third fold. If a fourth fold is required, a further frame 75, similar to the frame 50, may be employed, and so on for any number of folds. A flat plate 35 supports the unfolded central portion of the web and the lower ends of the folding frames are fixed at the required height above the plate. In order that the frames may be adjusted for different width folds, the upper parts of the frames are attached by bolts 20 to slotted channel bars 22, of which the bar supporting the frames 15 is fixed while those supporting the other frames are attached to end blocks 46 adjustably mounted on side bars 40 of the frame 1. The web is given a final fold centrally of the previously unfolded portion by a frame 85 and guide bars 90, and is pressed by rollers 95 which may serve as feed rollers.
