Granted: 1904-08-18
Abstract: 20,977. Grieve, R. G. Sept. 30. Marline-spikes. - In order to facilitate the opening and splicing of the bolt-ropes when sewing the sails to them, marline-spikes, pins, or prickers are made in two parts B, C. The pointed end C is made solid, and fits into the hollow handle B, being held in position by friction, or by a feather and groove. The pointed end is used to open the strands of the rope F, and the marlinespike is pushed through the opening g beyond the junction. The part C is then withdrawn, so that the strand f may be inserted through the part B as shown. When the part B is withdrawn, the strand is left in the opening. The hollow in the part B may be only long enough to receive a limited portion of the end of the strand, which, when the part B is withdrawn, is drawn with it, or left projecting through the opening.

Granted: 1905-04-06
Abstract: 13,371. Howorth, F. W., [Aktiebolaget de Lavals Angturbin]. June 13. Steam &c. turbines.- Radial and parallel-flow elastic-fluid turbines have diverging and converging channels formed either within the rotating turbine wheel or constituting the bucket spaces of the same, these channels effecting a conversion of pressure energy into velocity energy and vice versÔ. A radial-flow multiplex turbine is shown in Fig. 1 in which the fluid flows from the circumference to the centre of the turbine wheels I, II, III. The wheels are mounted on a shaft 1 and rotate in separate chambers 4. The fluid enters by the pipe 10, passes through the nozzle 9 and diverging buckets 12, and leaves through the outlet 7 with increased pressure. It now passes through a channel 6 and nozzles 8 to the next wheel, and so on, finally leaving by the pipe 11. The inlet channels or nozzles 8, 9 may be divided into several passages by blades. A parallel-flow multiple turbine is shown in Figs. 4 and 5 with inlet nozzles 9, buckets 12, and guide-passages 8. Fig. 5 shows the guide-blades 14 of the channels 8, 9 and the buckets 13 of the wheels I, II, III. Figs. 6 and 7 show a modification of the parallel-flow multiple turbine, in which the various passages consist of a diverging and a converging part. The buckets have converging parts P and diverging parts I<a>, II<a>. The guide-passages have diverging parts 15 and converging parts 8. The guide-blades 14 and buckets 13<a>, 13<b> are also shown in Fig. 6. In Figs. 4 and 7, the fluid enters by the nozzle 9 and passes through the various passages, in which its energy is continually changed from pressure energy to velocity energy and vice versÔ.

Granted: 1905-08-31
Abstract: 21,256. Price, T. Oct. 4. Supports. - A jack or support secured to and carried by a motor bicycle is used for lifting the rear wheel when required. Fig. 4 shows the construction of one side of the jack. The quadrant a is pivoted to a leg b, and carries a curved arm k which is secured to the bicycle framework by semicircular clips m The pivot pin connecting the quadrant and leg fits into a slot in the latter so that, by extension of the spring h, the projection g on the leg can be freed from the notch f on the quadrant, and the leg can be turned round the knife-edge e into a horizontal position and again locked in a second recess on the quadrant. A pair of such quadrants and legs fitted on either side of the rear wheel form the jack or support. The quadrants a may have eyes instead of clips and be fitted on the back-wheel axle with projections engaging the forks, or the quadrant may be made in one piece with the forks.

Abstract: 28,533. Warwick, B. W. Dec. 28. Pens, reservoir. The writing- needle of a stylographic pen is set at an angle to the length of the pen so as to be perpendicular to the writing-surface when in use. The needle F, Fig. 2, is carried by a screw or plug G in a crosshead E, Fig. 3, set at an angle of about 40 degrees to the axis of the pen. The needle may be coiled to form a spring as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, or attached to a tympanum T, Fig. 7, or to a spring-controlled oscillating block P, Fig. 6, held by a slot and pin Q in the plug N. To adjust the angle of the crosshead E, it may have a tongue M so as to be clamped in a recess in the end of the pen by a screw L, a duct J supplying the ink. To prevent unequal wear of the writing-point the plug E, Fig. 9, may be carried in the ring K formed on the end of the pen and having a supply groove to feed the duct J. The head E is sprung into the ring during manufacture. In another form, the end section E, Fig. 10, of the pen and the needle F are both curved to bring the writing-point to the desired position.

Oil is conveyed to the shaft A by a ring D and passes through the bearing by way of the grooves in the shaft to the well C, whence it is returned to the well C' by the channel E. The ring D may be dispensed with if the oil in the well C<1> is kept in contact with the shaft. Where the shaft rotates in one direction only, one of the wells may be replaced by a small recess in the bearing.

Each weight is provided with a shoulder and, at the end opposite the bifurcated lags, with lugs. Upwardly inclined cam tracks d<2>, d<3>, Figs. 1 and 3, extend over the table as shown. An attendant is stationed on each side of the table close to the cam tracks, and places cartoons about the forming-blocks, folds and pastes the end flaps and lowers the weights so as to retain the flaps against the tops of the blocks, the slots in the ears of the standards allowing cartoons of slightly different heights to be used. When the cartoons have returned to the point at which the cam tracks are located, the ends flaps have become tightly secured and the lugs on the weights engage the cams which turn the weights into the position shown in Fig. 4. The attendants remove the finished cartoons, and again place unpasted cartoons over the blocks and the process is repeated.

Abstract: 17,179. Mehlhorn, A., and Klitzing, P. von. Aug. 24. Docks.-Relates to floating docks, shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, of the type in which air chambers communicating with the external water are divided off in the bottom pontoon. Instead of the empty or lightly-loaded dock being raised by the expulsion of water from the side chambers as hitherto, the water is simply expelled from the middle one by pumping or by compressed air, the dock rising as water flows automatically from the side chambers. The volume of air retained is nearly sufficient to take the weight of the empty dock, so that the water level in the side chambers b, c is slightly lower than that outside, except when the dock is being raised. The valves fare made to open in either direction, and are closed when the dock has reached the proper level. When the dock has been raised, normal air pressure may be restored by opening an air-pipe o, Fig. 2, the position of the lower end of which is adjustable. In Fig. 1, the dotted lines represent optional partitions, and, in the form shown in Fig. 3, air-pipes g, h connect the chambers a, d, e.
