Granted: 1906-03-22
Abstract: 20,681. Dugmore, J. Oct. 12. Ornamental chains; sheet-metal chains; flat folded link chains.-Chains for supporting electroliers and for other purposes have means for threading electric conductors along them. In one form, ornamental links A, Fig. 1, connected by smaller links, have pieces a stamped out to form arches for the conductors W on each side of the chain. The links A may each consist of one or of two pieces, and are completed by means of soldering, brazing, rivets, rings, &c. In other forms, links C, Fig. 4, connected by flat links D and rivets R, are bent outwards at the middle, as shown at c, or at their ends, to form perforated lugs. The double links may otherwise be formed with projections at their edges, curled to form small tubes of circular or other section, or tubes may be attached by soldering, brazing, &c. Fig. 9 shows narrow projections i bent round from one or both edges of the links, and attached to each other or to the links. For four conductors, each side of the double links may be bent to a triangular section, pieces being stamped out from the outer faces to form arches as in Fig. 1.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Drying, Shrinking, or "Ageing" Textile Fabrics.
Inventor: WHITELEY JOE BOOTH
Filed: 1906-03-10
Granted: 1907-02-28
Abstract: 5845. Whiteley, J. B. March 10. Gases, apparatus for treating with.-Relates to machines for ageing fabrics, such as plush, painted or printed woollen or cotton goods, linoleum, &c. A pair of endless chains c, passing round chain pulleys d mounted in suitable framework, carry fixed or rotatable rods e throughout their length. When fixed rods are employed, they may have a non-flipping covering of plush &c. The main driving-shaft turns the roller k by means of spur-wheels, and also rotates a side shaft by means of bevel-gearing. The fabric is fed over the roller m, and between the roller k and the nipping- roller n. A pinion on the shaft of the roller k drives the cam shaft q, the cam r engaging a bowl on the bell-crank lever s pivoted at s'. The lower end of this lever is linked to a roller t engaging one of the rods e. The side shaft turns by worm gearing the wheel that drives the chain, and by bevelgearing a band at the other end of the machine, which actuates a folding-device. A weighted roller x supported on a pivoted link bears against the last operative rode. The fabric is fed in under the roller t, which is arranged to travel with, and at the speed of, the chain, and, the roller k turniog at a much higher speed, the looping of the fabric is effected in the manner shown. Pendent loops are in this way formed all along the operative set of rods until the fabric leaves the machine to pass to the folding-device.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Moderating the Reaction of Springs of Vehicles, applicable also to Machinery and the like.
Inventor: DUTRIEUX ARTHUR

Granted: 1907-09-12
Abstract: 14,798. Dutrieux, A. Aug. 22, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Means for absorbing mechanical shocks. - A shock-absorber for checking the recoil of the springs of automobiles and other vehicles, machines, &c. is constructed so that the resistance which it offers varies in accordance with the force of the recoil. A sector-shaped chamber 14 containing oil or other liquid is attached to the body and provided with a vane piston 1, the pivot 2 of which is connected by links to the axle or spring. The piston is formed with a number of holes 3, and is fitted with curved flexible plates 5,6,7, which are arranged on one side as shown and also provided with holes adapted to coincide with some of the holes in the piston. The number of holes in the piston and plates decreases from the piston to the outer plate 5, so that as the plates 7, 6, 5 are successively pressed against the piston according as the pressure exerted by the liquid during the recoil increases, the number of holes for the passage of the liquid through the piston becomes diminished. During the recoil, the liquid may also flow through a passage 15 adjustable by a screw 16 ; while during the compression of the spring, and, for small oscillations, during the recoil also, the liquid flows fairly freely through all the holes of the piston. Further freedom for small oscillations is ensured by grooves 23 formed in the side of the chamber, and a safety-valve 13 is fitted in the piston. The movement of the plates 5, 6, 7 is limited by crossbars 8, and the number of plates and holes may be varied according to the weight of the vehicle. The invention may be applied to other types of pistons, and the plates may be replaced by a system of valves or the like arranged to close progressively.

Granted: 1908-11-19
Abstract: 202. Venter, O. Jan. 3. [Patent of Addition to No. 15,352, A.D. 1907.] Washing.-In a development of the process described in Specification No. 15,352, A.D. 1907, for removing soca-lye from fabrics after mercerization therewith, the fabric is sprinkled with lye washings before the saturated fabric is acted upon by steam and the mangling-rollers. The fabric 87 passes from the stretching-frame 1 of the mercerizing- machine into steaming-boxes 40, 41, being first moistened with lye wasbings from a sprinkling-tube 81 connected to the first compartment 96 of a washing-machice 44. The fabric is then played upon by steam from jet-pipes 24, 25, 27, 28, and the lye washings, thus heated, are worked into the goods by mangling-rollers 18, 8. From the boxes 40, 41, which are provided with discharge pipes 85, 86, the fabric passes to squeeze-rollers 54, 55 where the lye is squeezed out, and then into the washing-machine 44 through which it passes in zigzag fashion, with the occasional interruption of squeeze-rollers 62, 63 ; 69, 70 ; 76, 77, and finally away from the machine. Water supplied to the machine 44 is sprinkled over the fabric 87 from a pipe 90 at the exit end, and then flows through the machine in reverse current, finally passing through a pipe 79 to the first sprinkling-pipe 81. The zigzag flow of the liquid through the machine 44 is obtained by the arrangement of the partitions, which reach alternately not quite to the bottom and the top of the machine. Heating-coils 50, 51, 52 are provided.
