Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 22,606. Boult, A. J., [Troy Laundry Machinery Co.]. Oct. 14. Damping-arrangements.- The dried clothes on a conveyer in a laundry pass through a small chamber in which an atomizer is placed, and are thus damped ready for ironing. The conveyer with bearing- wheels 3, sprocket chain 4, and carriers 5 is supported from an endless track 2 which passes through the drying-room 1. The moistening-casing 6, with a slot 7 for the passage of the carriers, is suspended from the track, preferably by means of angle-iron hangers 8. The atomizing-devices, of which two are situated on each side of the damping casing, comprises water nozzles 14 beneath which steam or air nozzles 18 are mounted at an angle to produce the atomizing effect by directing the mixed discharge on to the baffle-plates 21, which are adjustable by means of screws 23 clamping the lower looped portion of the plate round pipes 18. Pipes 24, 25 supply water and air respectively to the atomizer, and a pipe 12 serves to discharge any condensed water that may collect in the bottom of the dampener. Specifications No. 17,764, A.D. 1891, No. 8983, A.D. 1901, and No. 4474, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Hydraulic machinery &c.], are referred to.

Title: Improvements relating to Swivels for Traces, Chains, Hooks Tightening Screws and the like and the Method of Manufacturing same
Inventor: BULLOWS WILFRED LAWSON
Filed: 1908-01-30
Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 2090. Bullows, W. L. Jan. 30. Swivels.-A swivel adaptable for traces, chains, hooks, tightening-screws, &c. is made by bending a piece of iron rod to form an eye a, and by welding the two ends brought together. Over the stem, a loose collar b is placed, and a head c rather less in diameter than the collar is formed on the end of the stem. A short piece of tube d, which just passes over the collar b, is flattened at one end and pierced to form an eye e, Fig. 6. The head c and collar b of the eye-bolt are inserted in the tube d, and the end of the tube is hammered or welded over the collar b, so that the collar is held firm while the eye-bolt may revolve freely. Two eyebolts may be fixed in a single piece of tube as in Fig. 8, which shows the invention as applied to a trace end swivel. One of the two eye-bolts may be without a loose collar, the head of the bolt being fixed in the enclosing-tube. A spring swivel is constructed by lengthening the stem of the eyebolt, and surrounding it with a coil spring between the head c and the collar b. A tightening-screw, Fig. 9, is constructed by replacing one eye-bolt by a screw bolt f passing through the end of the tube d.

Filed: 1908-05-28
Granted: 1908-06-25
Abstract: 11,639. Ledermann, L. May 28. Belts; buoys. - In making hollow lifebelts divided into compartments by the insertion of partitions into the interior of the body, a hollow sheet-metal case of the shape of the life-belt is first made, then cut into segments into the open ends of which partitions are soldered, and the segments are then joined together again by soldering &c. In the case of U or horse-shoe shaped belts as shown in Fig. 4, in order to secure even buoyancy, the combined volume of the straight end portions is equal to the volume of the semicircular portion. It is stated that the process by which the segments are stamped and bent separately is known.
Patent GB-190813149-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Machines for Weaving Wire Netting.
Inventor: STOREY ANDREW WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-06-20
Granted: 1909-06-17
Abstract: 13,149. Storey, A. W. June 20. Bending.-The ordinary hexagonal mesh of wire netting is modified to the form g shown in Fig. 2 by arranging the half-pinions a, a<1>, Figs. 1 and 2, of the twisting-machine to intertwist with alternate half-pinions. The traversing bars bare thus moved two stages at each reciprocation, two additional half-pinions being used instead of one as ordinarily employed. More than one half-pinion may be passed over without intertwisting, and in this case at the second and each subsequent crossing the pinions may be given a half-turn so that the wire interlaces. To accomplish the last feature the traversing bars are given a 'dwell' at the points corresponding to the second and subsequent crossings. By giving a half-turn at each crossing of the wires the selvedge wire may be bound in, but when the wire netting is to be employed for embedding in glass a fast selvedge is not required and the two additional half-pinions may be arranged on the same traverse bar instead of as in Fig. 2, one on each bar.

Title: Improvements in Printers' Base Block.
Inventor: QUIGGAN JOHN PATRICK
IPC: B41F27/04
Filed: 1909-01-27
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 1992. Quiggan, J. P. Jan. 27. Printing-surfaces.-A mounting-block is made up of L-shaped sections formed with a series of holes which are arranged in rows inclined at an angle to the chase in which the blocks are mounted, and the holes are adapted to receive clamps of two kinds, one set being resilient, and the other fixed but adjustable. The construction is adapted to prevent displacement of the various sections of the block, to prevent relative movement between the forme and the platen during printing, and to permit the easy fixing of printing-plates of different sizes. As shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 4, holes 12 are formed in the L-shaped blocks 10, which nave grooves 12<1> marked in the upper faces to facilita e the a curate adjustment of the printing plate ; and pegs 13 formed in the under faces to serve as supports and to engage arms 21 on adjustable clamps C, Fig. 7. Rectangular sections 16, 17 are used to fill in the spaces or between the members 10. A series of clamps C engage two sides of the plate. Each clamp is formed of a semicircular shank 20 with a bevelled face 23 to engage the plate ; and an arm 21 takes between the pegs 13 when the shank is passed through a hole 12. The clamp is secured by a U-shaped wedge 28, slidably engaging an inclined surface 22 of the clamp and actuated by a screw 27 which forces the wedge 28 outwards against the side of a bole 12 in opposition to two springs connecting the members 20, 28. Supplementary wedges of various thicknesses may be used to facilitate the adjustment of the clamps C against a plate. The other two sides of the printing-plate are he'd by yielding clamps, which are constructed of members 35, 40, Fig. 9, pressed apart by a spring 42 and having a spring 37 between the members 35 and the hole 12. The member 35 has an arm 21<1> similar to the arm 21, and the member 40 is formed with a crosspiece 43 to facilitate removal and to prevent the members 35, 40 from sinking too far in the holes 12. The clamps are removed by means of a tool provided with two shanks which are caused to press on the pieces 43.

Abstract: 12,069. Hasluck, H., [trading as Parkes & Co., Z.]. May 22. Conical mills.-Relates to mills for grinding coffee, grain, meal, maize, &c., and consists in forming the delivery and cleaning chambers 3, 4, Fig. 2, as separate end attachments to the conical casing 2, the parts being secured together by longitudinal bolts 18 passing through flanges 3<a>, 4<a> on the chambers. Two, four, or more bolts may be employed, but they are preferably arranged in pairs diametrically opposite to one another. The delivery chamber 3 is formed with an internal shoulder 16, against which the larger end of the shell 2 abuts, the smaller end being engaged by a tapered socket or flange 9 on the cleaning-chamber 4 and abutting against the internal shoulder 10. A screw, passing through the socket 9 into a gap in the edge of the shell, prevents the shell from rotating. The spindle 5 of the toothed grinding- cone 1 is supported in sleeves or bushes 6, 15 on the chambers 4, 3. In a modification, the mill is built up with the usual end plates fitted upon the ends of the delivery and cleaning chambers, the bolts being passed through holes in the plates and lugs on the chambers. Fig. 8 shows a modification, in which the socket into which the shell fits is continued from the chamber 4 as a casing 24 up to the opposite end and formed with lugs 25 to receive screws 8 passing through corresponding lugs 26 on the delivery chamber 3. A space 27 is left between the casing 24 and the chamber 3, and this chamber bears against the end of the conical shell.
