Abstract: 29,598. Materikin, T., and Serguieff, B. Dec. 23. Springs, arrangement of and mounting bodies and undercarriages on; guiding vertical play.- Relates to means for preventing longitudinal movement of the steering-axles of motor vehicles during the rise and fall of the axle under road shocks, and consists in mounting the end or ends of semi-elliptic bearing springs in slots in the vehicle frame so inclined or shaped as to cause up and down movements of the axle to be approximately vertical. Fig. 3 shows a pin 8 at one end of the usual semi-elliptic spring 1 guided in slots 9 in the frame 11, the other end 8<1> being guided in a slot 9<1> in the usual connecting-link 10. A spring 18 may be placed between the frame and the spring 1 and may be weaker than the spring 1, in which case the slot 9 at its lower portion is approximately vertical, as shown in Fig. 4, so as to cause the spring 1 to be inactive until the pin 8 reaches the upper and more inclined part of the slot. The slots 9, 9' may, as shown in Fig. 5, be both formed in forked members 14 depending from, and integral with, the frame. In this construction, the weaker spring 18 is of elliptic form and is mounted between the frame and a bar 19 bearing upon the ends of the spring 1. Figs. 6 and 7 show the pins 8, 8<1> connected by a bar 20, which is connected with the frame by links 22 forming a parallel motion which prevents unequal movements of the ends of the spring 1 under oblique shocks. The ends of the upper spring 18 in this arrangement are guided on the lower spring by slots 23 and projections 29, and the pins 8 are provided with rollers 24 and resilient washers 27 which serve to absorb lateral shocks.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Liquefied Lighting Gas and Plants for Producing the same.
Inventor: LIPINSKI ANTON VICTOR
IPC: F25J3/06
Filed: 1913-01-16
Granted: 1914-01-16
Abstract: 1325. Lipinski, A. V. Jan. 17, 1912, [Convention date]. Liquefying.-Consists in a process for producing an enriched, non-poisonous, liquefied lighting-gas from coal gas or similar gases, according to which the gas is freed from naphthalene by cooling, freed from carbonic acid and sulphuretted hydrogen by absorption. carburetted, treated with a catalytic agent to convert the carbon monoxide and hydrogen therein into a methane mixture, and compressed or liquefied in stages. The conversion of carbon monoxide and hydrogen into methane is effected according to the well-known process of Sabatier and Senderens by the aid of a catalytic agent such as nickel, cobalt, iron, &c. The above described conversion is accompanied by a partial saturation of the olefines with hydrogen as well as a conversion into paraffins, the conversions taking place more rapidly according to the degree of compression of the gas mixture. The catalysis is preferably effected after easily liquefiable constituents have been removed, but not necessarily so. Carburetting may be effected before or after the catalysis. Unliquefied constituents are treated with an absorption liquid such as benzene or benzol, and the vapours from the absorption vessel may be employed for carburetting the uncompressed gas. The plant shown in Fig. 1 for carrying out the process comprises a carburettor 1, in which naphthalene is removed in the solid state, a threestage compressor 2, an absorption apparatus 3 for carbonic acid and sulphuretted hydrogen, a first-stage liquefying-chamber 4, a liquefiedgas receiver 5, catalytic converter 6, secondstage liquefying-chamber 7, liquefied-gas receiver 8, storage vessel 9 for liquefied gas, and absorption chamber 10 for unliquefiable constituents. It will be seen that the liquefaction products obtained before and after the conversion into a methane mixture are added together in the vessel 9, and that the vapours given off from the absorption chamber 10 are utilized as the cooling-agent in the liquefiers 7, 4 and carburettor 1, being mixed with the incoming gas in the carburettor. In one modification, the liquefying - chamber 4 is omitted. In another there is a single-stage compression only, while liquefaction takes place in two or three stages.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Pickling or Swilling Metal Sheets.
Inventor: TAYLOR FREDERICK JOHN
IPC: B65G49/04
Filed: 1913-04-09
Granted: 1914-04-09
Abstract: 8419. Taylor, F. J. April 9. Pickling. - Relates to pickling-machines in which trollies supporting cradles containing the metal sheets run upon a track having a rising and falling portion by means of which the cradles are immersed and swilled in one or more vats beneath the track. A framing w, Fig. 1, is mounted on wheels 1 so that it may be reciprocated through a definite distance parallel to the track g upon which run the trollies u carrying the cradles p. The framing is reciprocated by a piston-rod 3 or by electric or other motor, and carries pairs of vertical guides v which receive the cross-bars s of the cradles p in their raised position, the cross-bars passing out from between the guides when the cradles are lowered. After a cradle has been treated in one vat a and raised therefrom, the framing w is moved to bring the cradle over the next vat, into which it is lowered. The framing w is then moved back to its original position, so that when the cradle is next raised, it is received by guides adjacent to those which previously received it. The cradle is thus passed through all the vats in succession. A catch 6 is provided at one end of the framing to bring a freshly-loaded cradle over the first vat, and a single guide 8 at the other end to push a cradle that has passed through all the vats on to the fixed part of the track. The rising and falling portion of the track is suspended from rocking - beams by pivotally - connected rods instead of chains. The apparatus may be arranged to work automatically, the falling track portion g, Fig. 7, striking a lever 12 which operates a slide valve or equivalent member 11 to produce the backward movement of the framing w during the immersion of the cradles, the piston-rod m of the cylinder o being meanwhile given a number of short reciprocatory motions to effect the swilling. These reciprocations rotate a ratchet-wheel 16 carrying a cam 17 which, at the end of a revolution, actuates a lever 18 to produce a long stroke of the rod m and raise the cradles. The rising track operates a lever 10 to produce the forward movememt of the framing. At the end of the forward stroke, the framing may operate a lever to produce the up-stroke of the rod m and the lowering of the cradles, or the lever may be operated by hand.

Abstract: 25,146. Beesley, F. April 4. Breech actions, dropdown barrel.-Relates to extracting and ejecting mechanism for under- and-over guns, and consists in mounting the ejecting-cam in the forepart with its pivot to the rear of the jointpin, and in tripping the cam by the thrust-rod of the kind described in Specifications 712/13 and 7957/13. The mechanism is similar to that described in Specification 20,979/89. The cams K, Figs. 2 and 4, one for each barrel, are mounted in the cheeks of the fore-part with the springs L. The action-body A has a recess A<1> and a curved surface A<2> to engage the toe K<1> of each cam for starting the extraction. Each cam also has projections K<2>, K<3>, K<4>, K<5> and a curved surface K<6>. Each extractor leg N has a concavity N<1>, a spur N<2>, and a reduced end N<3>. The projection K<3> engages the spur N<2> to start the extraction, whether the corresponding barrel has been fired or not; the spring L snaps under the projection K<5>, and the projection K<4> then delivers a blow on the end of the leg N for ejection only if the barrel has been fired, since the thrust-rod F engages the toe K<1> to move the cam for ejection. The projection K<2>, as the gun closes, re-cocks the cam K. If the rod F is of the type that moves rearwards when the gun is opened, it is stepped to lie alongside the cam and provided with a downward projection to engage a lateral spur on the cam when the corresponding barrel has been discharged.

Title: Improvements in Surface Measuring Machines for Leather or the like.
Filed: 1914-01-27
Granted: 1914-05-07
Abstract: 2185. Maschinenfabrik Moenus Akt.- Ges. Jan. 27, 1913, [Convention date]. Surface areas, computing.-In apparatus for measuring the area of leather &c., (1) the usual measuring - wheels are normally disconnected from the toothed sectors, and their upward and rotational movements, on the entrance of the leather sheet and until the forward edge of the leather attains a position corresponding to the line of contact between the measuring- wheels and feeding-roll, do not cause the engagement of the wheels and sectors and consequently have no effect upon the measurement registered; (2) the operative connexion between the wheels and sectors is caused or broken by a series of feelers which act independently of the thickness of the leather, and (3) the extent of engagement of the pinions of the measuring- wheels and the toothed sectors is adjustable. As soon as the edge of the leather at any point reaches the normal line of contact between the measuring-wheels 3 and feeding-roll 1, a feeler 8 carried by a lever 9, and maintained between the two adjacent halves of each measuring-wheel, is raised by the material, and the adjustable upper end of the lever forced away from the rod 13 allowing the toothed sectors 15 to be forced into engagement with the pinions 7 by the weighted ends 17 of the levers 14 carrying them. The connexion between the feelers and the sectors is so arranged that a slight upward movement of the feelers allows the sectors and pinions 7 to be properly engaged; excessive engagement is prevented by adjustable studs 22 that engage with the ends of the pivoted rods 5 on which the measuring-wheels 3 are mounted. The measurement of the area is also unaffected by the thickness or width of the measuring- wheels.
