Title: Improvements in the Method of and Means Employed for Twisting or Doubling Cotton, Silk, Flax and other Fibrous Materials.
Inventor: WHITELEY WILFRED
IPC: D01H1/00
Filed: 1912-03-23
Granted: 1912-09-12
Abstract: 21,032. Whiteley, W. March 23, 1912. Spinning-machines with twisting - arrangements at delivery ; spindle apparatus ; spindle r a i l s ; thread - guides. - In a twisting or doubling frame in which the twist is put into the yarn by drawing it from a bobbin or cop on a rapidly revolving spindle, the yarn passes through a guideeye C encircling the end of the spindle B but normally remaining out of contact therewith. The spindle B is mounted in a hinged rail a normally maintained against a fixed abutment by the tension of the driving-band b ; slackening or breaking of the driving-band is indicated by the spindle falling out of line with the remaining spindles.

Abstract: 23,957. Sleigh, H. L. Oct. 30. Hoods.-In motor-cars and other vehicles of the cabriolet and similar types, the cant-rail is connected to the folding pillar 4 by links 2 and 8, so that when the hood is open the link 2 is horizontal, the link 8 vertical, and the inner end of the cant-rail butts against the pillar 4, and when closed the cant-rail folds down as shown until it is close against the pillar 4. The overhang at the rear when the hood is folded is thus reduced, and the cant-rail is supported in its open position without additional locking- mechanism.
Patent GB-191125663-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Elastic Fluid Turbines.
Inventor: CURTIS CHARLES GORDON
IPC: F01D13/00
Filed: 1911-11-17
Granted: 1912-03-07
Abstract: 25,663. Curtis, C. G. Nov. 19, 1910, [Convention date]. Axial-flow type; plant; balancing moving parts. -Relates to improvements in the invention described in Specification 25,662/11, and consists in the application and modification of that invention to marine turbine installations comprising high- and low-pressure elements A, B, Fig. 6, mounted upon alined shafts 7, 33 connected by a slip coupling 34. The element A is arranged to be selfbalancing, while the end - thrust of the element B is counterbalanced by the propeller thrust. The steam, on entering element A, passes successively through impulse stages 14, 19, Fig. 1, after which it passes through a drum stage 21. Up to this point, the end - thrust produced has been from left to right. The steam then passes through passages in the casing to the left-hand side of a drum stage 24, through which it passes from left to right, with the result that a righthand thrust is produced which counterbalances the opposing thrust produced by the previous stages. The steam then passes by way of passages 28 and pipes 40 to the element B, Fig. 6, in which no reversed drum stages are used, but in which the end-thrust is balanced by the propeller thrust. By-pass valves 30, 32, Fig. 1, are provided in the high-pressure element to effect adjustments of balance under various working conditions. In a two-shaft installation, steam first passes through a highpressure element C, Fig. 7, rendered selfbalancing by reversed-flow stages, then through a similarly balanced intermediate - pressure element D, after which it passes by way of pipes 67, 68 through two low-pressure elements E, F in parallel. The end-thrusts in the low-pressure elements counterbalance the propeller thrust. The shafts are provided with slip couplings 49, 66.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Lifting Jacks.
Inventor: DUNLAP CHARLES
IPC: B66F15/00
Filed: 1911-12-04
Granted: 1912-05-16
Abstract: 27,156. Dunlap, C. Dec. 4. Jacks.-Comprises a construction of lifting- jack, particularly for raising vehicles, of the type in which a lifting - member, slidably mounted in a standard and connected by pivoted links to an adjustable pivoted operating- lever on the standard, is locked in the raised position when the lifting movement has resulted in sufficient lateral motion of the lower ends of the links in respect to the pivot of the operating-lever. The standard is formed from a strip of metal bent into an inverted U-shape with flanged ends for securing to a base-plate. The lifting-member comprises a vertical bar 11 having two parallel arms adapted to pass between the vertical members of the standard. The arms are formed with oppositely-disposed hooked ends which engage the rear edges of the standard. Supporting and side guard-plates 19, 24, respectively, are pivoted to the member 11, the plate 19 being padded to prevent damage to the vehicle, while the plate 24 is channelled to fit between the standard members and form a stiffening-brace. The channelled construction allows the member 24 to fold over the member 11 underneath the member 19 for convenience in transport. The pivot 18 of the operating- lever may be arranged in any one of the notches 10, and in the position shown in the Figure, the lifting-member is locked in the raised position because the axes of the links are on the upper side of the line joining the pivots 17, 18.

Abstract: 2009. Coombs, J. A. Jan. 25. Direct air-pressure apparatus, automatic. - An apparatus for distributing sewage to filter-beds &c., in which the liquid is distributed to two series of spraying - pipes so as to give a short interval between the discharges from each set of pipes, consists of two sets of containers for receiving and supplying the liquids, arranged so that the flow of liquid into one receiver is caused to augment the pressure. The liquid to be sprayed is supplied through the pipe 5 to the valve chambers 12, each of which contains two valves controlling the passage from the chambers 1 to the supply 5 and discharge 6, respectively. The valves in the two chambers 12 are connected by a rocking lever 22. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the valves are thrown over by compressed air, and compressed air is admitted to the chamber 1 that is being discharged. The float 25 in the chamber is connected to a bell-crank 25<Î>, which impinging against a rod shifts the pilot valve 35, thereby admitting compressed air to pistons at the back of distributing-valves 37, which connect the filling chamber 1 to the suction and the emptying chamber to the pressure side of an air-compressor, and at the same time admit compressed air through one or other of the pipes 42 to force down the piston valve in the cylinder 12.

[Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Water-tube boilers. - A boiler in which the degree of superheating can be varied consists of sections or elements B placed one above the other in horizontal rows, the elements in each row being detachably secured together. The water enters the boiler at the bottom and passes through the elements in each row in series, the outlet for the steam being at the top. If desired, partitions may be fitted in the headers of elements to lengthen the path of the water. The extent to which the steam is superheated is varied by removing the water from the boiler at different points in the tube groups. For this purpose, the rows of elements are connected by pipes J', J<2>, J<3>, &c. to a tank M in which a constant level of water is maintained. By opening the cocks L', L<2> any water above the level 1-2 is removed. Similarly, by opening the cocks L<1> to L', the water above the level 3-4 passes into the tank M. In a modification, the water, after passing through the bottom row of elements, is led to the top row and then downwards through the other rows.
