Granted: 1910-07-14
Abstract: 30,340. Lake, H. W., [Ingersoll-Rand Co.]. Dec. 28. Percussive channelling-drills.-In channelling- machines of the type in which the tool is actuated by reciprocating columns of air kept in motion by the piston in a pulsator cylinder, the tool and the pulsatpr cylinders being connected by flexible tubes, the pulsator cylinder is connected to the tubes by annular ports in the cylinder covers which gradually decrease in cross - sectional area, with the result that, as known in connexion with other fluid-pressure machines, there is a material reduction in the power loss due to friction and eddy currents. The invention is described as applied to a trackchanneller of known type comprising a fourwheeled truck 1 carrying a swing-back frame 6, to which the shell 7 of the tool cylinder 8 is pivotally adjusted, a pulsator, comprising a pulsator cylinder 13 located between a pump cylinder 15 and closed crank casing 9, and an electro-motor 10 which drives both the truck and the pulsator.

Abstract: 5011. Coldman, H. C., and Webb, C. F. Feb. 28. Player-pianos; actions; blowing and exhausting air; expression, controlling; treadle devices; winding-mechanism.-In a player-piano or other mechanical musical instrument of the kind in which piston - and - cylinder note - operating pneumatics are used, the pistons are formed of carbon, graphite, or other self-lubricating material or metal, and are of sufficient length to prevent leakage occurring. The cylinders a<2>, which are preferably formed of brass, are closed at one end and provided with flanges at the other end: The cylinders may be formed separately or in groups or sections. As shown in Fig. 2, the cylinders are mounted in a bar a<3> of L-section and are held in position by a plate which is attached to the bar by screws. The cylinders may be equally spaced on the bar and of greater number than is required for actual use, so that the attachment may be fitted to any piano. The bar a<3> extends across the piano immediately behind the upper panel of the casing. The valves a<5> controlling the pneumatics a<2>, may be arranged between the winding-rolls a<8>, a<9>, as shown, or they may be mounted on the bar a<3>. The pistons are connected to the wippers of the piano actions by flexible tapes d<1>. The expresion - controlling device k<x> may be arranged under the key-bed and mounted in guides or on a frame having a parallel motion so that it may be pushed out of sight. The tempo-control device is similarly mounted. The motor for driving the winding-rolls comprises a number of piston-andcylinder pneumatics. The exhaust pumps b<2> comprise pistons, made of carbon or other selflubricating material, which are reciprocated in cylinders by folding or detachable treadles b<4> operating through flexible connexions n<6Î>.

Abstract: 7139. General Caoutchouc Co. June 22, 1909, [Convention date]. India-rubber &c., extracting resins from. - Resinous matter is e xtracted from rubber by adding to the substance a solvent for rubber to render the mass gelatinous, then adding a solvent for the resins, masticating, and removing the solution of resins by decantation. Rubber is placed in a vessel 1, and rubber solvent is run in from the receptacle 7. When the mass becomes gelatinous, resin solvent is admitted from the reservoir 8 and the whole is masticated by blades 4, 5. The vessel 1 is then tipped, and the liquid decanted into the vessel 14, where the solvents are distilled from the resins, condensed, and run back into the receptacles 7, 8, a rectifying-column being employed if necessary to separate the solvents. The action may be repeated several times. The last traces of solvent are removed by a vacuum pump 10.

Abstract: 10,689. Nilsson, J. L. April 30. Cooling vehicles; cooling-chambers; refrigerating. - In an arrangement for cooling railway transport cars or refrigerators, liquid from an ice and salt receptacle 2 is circulated through cooling- pipes 1 by a pump 3. The lower part of the receptacle 2 is tapered, so that dirt may collect therein and be drawn off through an outlet 5. Other dirt floats on the surface of the liquid which is at the level of the outlet 6. The pipe 4 extends in an horizontal direction within the receptacle 2 and is perforated on its underside only. This pipe enters the receptacle at a point midway between the surface of the liquid as determined by the outlet 6 and the outlet 5, so that no dirt passes to the pump. The pipe 4 may extend through the receptacle and may be opened so that a brush may be introduced for cleaning purposes. The overflow 6 may be connected to cooling-pipes. From the pump 3 the liquid passes through cooling-pipes 1 to a spray pipe 1<x>, which directs the liquid on to a strainer 9 placed on the ice. The ice is supported by another strainer 8. The pipe 1 has also a branch 11 leading to the salt compartment 10 the liquid from which passes upwards through a strainer 15 and through a perforated pipe 14 to the grid 9. Valves 12, 13 permit the percentage of salt in the refrigerating- liquid to be varied.

Tappets 15 are freely mounted between stops on the slidable shaft i, so that when either tappet is engaged by the member f the shaft i is moved endways in one direction or the other, and through the mechanism w, u, v as described in the above-mentioned Specification, exerts a pull on the rod p. This rod is coupled by links a to a weighted pin b' engaging a notch at one end of a slot d in a pivoted sector a<1>. A shoulder 2 on the sector supports an arm 3 on a shaft 4, so that when the sector is withdrawn the shaft is rocked by a weighted arm 10 and the steam brake is applied by a link coupled to an arm 6.
