Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 8246. Northrup, T. H., and Prewitt, F. E. April 6. Muffs are made of leather to present the appearance of a football. Four leather sections 5, Fig. 5, are sewn together with reinforcing-welts of leather between them, to form an open-ended case, which is then drawn over a similar case made of four fabric sections of the shape shown in Fig. 7. The fabric case has a wool or fur covering facing inwards, and is narrower at its centre and longer than the leather case, to which it is sewn at the ends after having been turned in at 12, Fig. 2. Graduated layers 1, 2, 3, of cotton are placed between the outer and inner cases.

Inventor: CHINN HENRY PHILLIP
IPC: A01G9/12
Filed: 1909-05-15
Granted: 1910-03-10
Abstract: 11,506. Chinn, H. P. May 15. Clips, spring-wire.-A plant support provided with means for securing adjustably on a vertical stick, or on vertical sticks of different sizes, consists of an angle piece of wire bent as shown. The stick d is passed endways through an inclined ring c', and sideways into an open loop c<2>, which is closed by the hooked end a<2> of the band or ring a, when this is closed round the plant. The resiliency of the wire causes the part a<2>, c' to press againstthe stick end and thus hold the ring a in place. The appliance is adjusted for sticks of different diameters by altering the inclination of the ring c'. In a modification, the ring a is adjustable in diameter, a number of kinks being formed in it for the hooked end to engage with. According to the Provisional Specification, the ring c' may be made to expand, and to open and close.

Granted: 1910-06-16
Abstract: 14,888. Adams Pressure Tool Co., F. E., and Adams, F. E. June 26. Seaming. - In seaming sheet - metal boxes, canisters, &c., the reciprocating die carries a part, maintained slightly in advance by a spring, which supports the work during the operations. The bottom 100 of the box has a channel 101, 102 in which rests the flanged edge 51 of the side 50. The work is supported by the parts 1, 16, and is acted upon by a reciprocating die 2 which carries a plate 3 having a limited relative movement by means of pins in slots. and normally pressed forward by a spring 7, as in Fig. 1. The first stroke of the die folds over the edge 101, while the plate 3 steadies the side 50. The die 2 retires, the support 1 rises to the position shown in Fig. 3, and the die advances, tilting the folded part between the edge 6 of the plate 3 and the bevel 4 of the die 2, as shown in Fig. 4. The support 1 then falls till the fold lies opposite the recess in the face 5 of the die 2, which makes one or more strokes to finish the seam.

Filed: 1910-04-04
Granted: 1910-11-03
Abstract: 8069. Manderer, F. June 30, 1909, [Convention date]. Cylinders.-An auxiliary clearance chamber c is put into communication with the cylinder b by an automatic valve d when the cylinder-compression pressure exceeds the initial pressure of the steam. When the cylinder pressure falls below the pressure of the atmosphere, the valve d is closed. The valve stem is connected to a weighted lever l, and carries a piston i which enters a cylinder k when the valve is open and closes a passage f open to the atmosphere. The initial and final movements of the valve are impeded and helped by the weight h. The final opening movement of the valve is effected partly by the steam pressure on the piston i, and the closing movement is effected by the pressure of the atmosphere on the piston i. In a modification, the lever l and weight h are replaced by a piston working in a cylinder, the ends of which communicate with the condenser and the atmosphere respectively.
