Title: Improvements in Paper Tube Machines.
Inventor: HARBECK JERVIS RALPH
Filed: 1907-04-16
Granted: 1907-10-10
Abstract: 8815. Harbeck, J. R. April 16. Paper and like tubes. - Tubes of paper or fibrous material are formed by winding on a mandrel havi n g intermittent motion. When the tube is partly wound, the mandrel stops and shears are operated to sever the material. The mandrel then rotates to complete the tube and again stops to allow rem o v a l of the finished tube by a stripping sleeve. The material passes from the roll 5 round the guideroller 16 and over a coating-roller 7, against which it is pressed by rollers 12 mounted on adjustable arms. The roller 7 dips into adhesive in the trough 6, which is heated if necessary.. The coated material passes between feed-rollers 18, 19 and round rollers 20, 25, 50 to feedrollers 98, 99. The roller 20 forms part of a tension device for regulating the motion of the rollers 18, 19 similar to that described in Specification No. 8816, A.D. 1907. The wheel 55 has two sets of teeth. One set extends all round the circumference and gears with the wheel 54 which drives the wheel 55. The other set gearing with the wheel 77 is broken away at parts of the circumference to give the mandrel the necessary i n t e rmittent motion. A block 130 engages the lever 128, causing the rack 122 to operate the rollers 98, 99 by ratchet gear 118 to feed the end of the material to the mandrel 82. The ratchet 118 allows the rack 122 to be returned to its normal position by a spring 131. When the material has been fed to the mandrel, pins 165 engage levers 164 which raise the upper roller 98 so that the material can be freely pulled between the rollers by the rotating mandrel. The mandrel may be of any cross-section and is hollow with perforations or slots 80<a>. A pipe 89 communicating with the interior of the mandrel leads to an air-pump 90 and has a valve operated by a rotating shaft so that the end of the material adheres to the mandrel by suction. When the tube has been partly wound and the mandrel comes to rest, a rod 107 having a forked guide embracing the shaft 56 and a friction roller 103 engaging a cam 102 causes the toothed segment 110 to operate a rack carrying the lower of two shear blades so as to sever the material. The upper shear blade is fixed. Presser-leaves 142 normally separated by a roller 147 mounted on a lever 148 carrying a roller 139 running on a cam-surface are caused to bear on the mandrel to press down the end of the material by the rollcr 139 entering a depression as shown. The completed tube is removed by a sleeve 150 operated through a rod 153 and fork 152 by a projection 157 on the lever 155 engaging inclined guides 158, 159 on the drum 57. A device for locking the mandrel when at rest, and giving it an initial motion, is described. The supports of the rollers 98, 99 are mounted on an inclined base 95 so that the height can be adjusted. To prevent the finished tube from being drawn back on to the mandrel by the sleeve 150, the end of the mandrel is provided with springs 160, Fig. 18.

Title: A Method of Consolidating Water Bearing Sands in the Sinking of Bore Holes.
Filed: 1907-12-28
Granted: 1908-12-10
Abstract: 28,541. Compagnie des Mines de BÚthune. Nov. 6, [date applied for under- Patents Act, 1901.] Excavating, hardening ground for.-A method of cementing sandy soil around a bore-hole consists in disintegrating a wide zone of sand around the hole by powerful radial jets of cement milk, so that the cement milk mixes with the sand to form a cylinder of concrete. If the sand is firm, the boring may be done by means of a bit ; if the sand is loose, the hole is bored by means of water under pressure by known methods, the pipe that is afterwards used for injecting cement being used for the boring. The hole is first bored to a depth of say 5 to 10 metres, and that section is injected from the bottom upwards by means of an injection tube t of small sectional area, formed at the lower end with four diametrically opposite holes a, b. Jets a<1> of cement milk issue under pressure, and the pipe is slowly rotated and gradually raised. The surplus mixture may escape either through the annular space around the tube when such exists, or through two adjacent bore-holes into which are lowered two pipes or bells, the lower edges of which are kept throughout on the same level as the holes a. When the section is completely injected and the mass is sufficiently firm, the hole is rebored as far as the head of the next section, which is then bored as described above. To sink a shaft, a series of bore-holes may be put down by this method around the periphery, so as to form one or more cylinders of concrete around the shaft to be sunk.

Patent GB-190810709-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Radius Indicators for Cranes.
Inventor: HUBBARD WILLIAM SAMMONS
Filed: 1908-05-16
Granted: 1908-12-31
Abstract: 10,709. Hubbard, W. S. May 16. Cranes.-Relates to radius indicators for jib cranes, and comprises means whereby (1) the pointer moves through equal spaces on the dial for all equal increments of the radius at which the load is hung, and (2) the correct radius is indicated when the crane is on sloping ground. Fig. 1 shows the indicator in position on the crane, and Fig. 2 shows the details of the indicator. The arm 4 is connected by a link to the jib 2 so as to be always parallel to the jib, and is fixed to a shaft which carries a crank 6. The crank bears against a long pin on an arm 8 and thus actuates a toothed quadrant 9, which gears with a small toothed pinion 10 to which the pointer is fixed. The instrument is carried on knife edges 12, and is kept in a vertical position by a counterweight 15. When the jib is nearly vertical, the crank 6 is nearly horizontal and a small movement of the jib, which produces a correspondingly small movement of the arm 8, is accompanied by relatively large increments in the load radius and the pointer reading. The Specification states that by this means the scale graduations are all made equal. When the crane is on uneven ground so that for the same jib angle relatively to the turntable the actual load radius is greater in some positions than in others, the instrument is kept vertical by the counterweight, and so records readings for the actual inclination of the jib and not merely for the inclination relatively to the turntable.
Patent GB-190816298-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Electro-magnetically Operated Switches.
Filed: 1908-07-31
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 16,298. British Thomson-Houston Co., [General Electric Co.]. July 31. Switches. - An electromagnetically operated " contactor " switch, particularly adapted for operation by alternating current, is constructed with an E-shaped laminated magnetic core 6 clamped between parts 5 of the frame and having the actuating-coil 8 around its middle leg. The armature 15 of laminated iron is clamped between parts 13 of a frame, which is pivoted at 12 and connected by a spring 23 to the movable contactmember 19 pivoted at 18. When the armature is attracted by the E-shaped magnet, it touches only the outer leg, and, although the current is alternating, it is permanently held because rings 40 imbedded in the outer leg of the core act as the short-circuited secondary of a transformer, and because the field through these rings is out of phase with that in the E-shaped frame outside the rings. The movement of the armature causes the spring 23 to pull the contact 20 over to the contact 34, and the spring maintains them in contact under pressure and also aids the release of the armature when the actuating-current ceases. Pieces of phosphor bronze 42 are provided so that, in the event of wear of the pin 12, the armature may in no case come into contact with more than one leg of the E-shaped magnet and cause sticking. The contacts 20, 34 are so constructed that they make and break contact at their tips and roll over one another ; they are situated in a magnetic arc-shoot between the poles 36 of the magnet 35 in series with the circuit to be controlled. A strip of flexible conducting-material 26 is provided to ensure good contact between the movable contact member 19 and the switch frame.

Granted: 1910-01-13
Abstract: 1709. Johnson, W. C. Jan. 23. Aerial machines without aerostats; propelling.-P r o - pulsion is effected by vibrating wings c o n s t r u c t e d of pivoted strips which close on the downbeat to sustain the machine and assume an inclined position on the upbeat to give a forward impulse. The wings a are pivoted at a<1> to quadrilateral frames g, and are operated by the motor through gear-wheels g, a crank n, and connecting-rods o. A screw propeller m and places may be provided. Planes, construction of; steering.-The strips b of the wings are preferably controlled by springs c, and, to enable lighter springs to be employed, the strips may be pivoted towards the middle, as shown in Fig. 1. Vertical steering may be effected (1) by differentiating the tension of the springs of the forward strips with respect to the rearward strips. This varies the air resistance on the strips at the up-beat, and tilts the machine. For this purpose the springs c are secured to rods d, d', Fig. 2, connected to links f<1>, f<2>, and to a double bell-crank e', e<2>, by turning the arm e of which one rod d, d' recedes from and the other approaches the strips. (2) By inclining the wings in a fore-andaft direction. For this purpose one end of the wing axes a' is pivoted at the corners of a rigid frame g and the other end is mounted in a jointed quadrilateral s, Fig. 4, adapted to be deformed by a pedal r to raise and lower the ends of axes a.

Title: Improvements in Armature Windings for Dynamo Electric Machines.
Inventor: STORER NORMAN WILSON
IPC: H02K13/04
Filed: 1909-02-16
Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 3831. Storer, N. W. March 2, 1908, [Convention date]. Resistances.-In alternating-current commutator motors and other machines in which the armature conductors 5 are connected to the commutator bars 4 through conductors 7 of high - resistance material, the conductors 7 are usually in the form of ribbons or strips doubled back upon themselves so that the cross-section at the ends 8, 9 is reduced. The invention consists in increasing the currentcarrying capacity at the places of reduced cross-section by coating them, preferably by an electro-plating process, with copper or other good conducting-material. The coating may be made otherwise, by a dipping process, or by soldering or riveting and brazing strips on to the flat surfaces of the ribbons.

Title: Improvements in Clips for use in Stentering Machines.
Inventor: WHITLEY ALFRED AUSTIN
IPC: D06C3/04
Filed: 1909-06-30
Granted: 1910-03-31
Abstract: 15,312. Whitley, A. A. June 30. Stretching and tentering. - Clips of the kind described in Specification 1631/09, for fabric stretching or tentering machines are modified by arranging that an abutment on the frame co-operates with the lever of the gauge-tongue or a projection thereon, so that the gauge-tongue is raised when the opening lever is operated. The upper jaw is connected either directly or through a link with the opening-lever, and this link is provided with a wedging piece or projection, which acts in conjunction with a projection on the frame, so that a spring forces the upper jaw firmly on to the fabric. Tn the form shown in Fig. 1, the upper jaw 2 is formed in one piece with the opening lever 1, and a projection 11 on the lever 7 of the gauge-tongue 6 bears against a roller on a pin 12 on the frame. A compression spring 17 is inserted between the opening-lever 1 and the frame, and in another form this may be replaced by a tension spring fixed to the frame below the pivot 9. A lug 22 on the frame co-operates with the gauge-tongue lever 7, and is shaped so that the gauge-tongue will descend when the edge of the fabric has passed it, but acts as an abutment for the gauge-tongue lever 7 and causes it to rise when the clip is opened. Fig. 6 shows another form in which a link 5 connects the opening-lever 1 with the upper jaw 2, and a wedging-piece 24 on the link 5 acts against a projection 25 on the frame to force the upper jaw firmly on to the fabric. The lug 22 shown in Fig. 1 is replaced in this case by an edge 22, Fig. 6, which co-operates with the projection 23 on the gauge-tongue lever 7. In the form shown in Fig. 8, the opening-lever 1 is not pivoted on the frame of the clip, and the opening or lifting cam 26 of the machine is arranged so that it lifts the lever 1 and then draws the wedging-piece 24 over the projection 25 on the frame; the lever 1 is thereby held when the clip is open. In another similar form, the opening of the clip is effected by the opening cam pressing down the opening- lever against a compression spring. Fig. 16 shows another form, in which a link 5 connects the opening-lever 1 with the lever 3 of the upper jaw 2, and Fig. 20 shows a form suitable for vertical chain wheels, in which the upper jaw lever 3 and the opening-lever 1 are in one piece controlled by a spring 17. Other constructional forms involving slight constructional modifications of the above-mentioned forms are also described. The clips may have either plain or pin grips, and in the former case the lower stationary jaw may be formed with slots or with pin holes, and the slots may open out at the front of the lower jaw for convenience in cleaning.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Sulphuric Acid.
IPC: C01B17/82
Filed: 1908-09-21
Granted: 1910-09-06
Abstract: 20,401. Chemische Fabrik Griesheim- Elektron. Sept. 21, 1908, [Convention date]. Sulphuric acid.-In the tower process for the manufacture of sulphuric acid, oxidation of the sulphurous acid is effected in the presence of a spray of sulphuric acid of from 56-58‹ BÚ., and of such an excess of nitric acid that no trace of sulphurous acid passes from the oxidation tower. The nitric acid is regenerated by passing the gases into towers supplied successively, for example, with nitric acid or a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acid of from 25-30‹ BÚ., nitric acid of from 10-25‹ BÚ., and nitric acid of from 0-13‹ Be. It is important that the gases should remain at least four minutes in the regenerating-apparatus, that the absorption liquid should be at a temperature not higher than 30‹ C., and that the nitric acid contents of the last 40-50 per cent of the absorption space should be below 13 per cent. The absorption space can be reduced by about 50 per cent, if the last traces of nitrous gases are absorbed in sulphuric acid of at least 59‹ BÚ. This acid and that from the oxidation tower are denitrated in a Glover tower or other special apparatus. Specification 972/71 is referred to.
