Granted: 1913-07-14
Abstract: 16,352. Davidson, S. C. July 12. Latex, treating and coagulating.-As a preparatory treatment of rubber latex before coagulation, a saponified oleaginous substance and formaldehyde are added, with or without other additions. A potash soap is mixed with formaldehyde, and made slightly alkaline by potash, soda, or borax, &c., and is then diluted and added to the latex, which should contain from 2¢ to 5 per cent of the mixture. In one modification, glycerine or an antiseptic substance such as creosote or carbolic acid is added in addition. In another modification, a soluble salt of sulphur such as a polysulphide or thiosulphate is also added. Filling - substances, such as carbonate of magnesia or oxide of zinc may also be added to the latex. Coagulation is effected by a dilute acid, such as acetic, trichloracetic, sulphuric, hydrochloric, or hydrofluoric acid or admixtures thereof and where a soluble salt or sulphur is used, nascent sulphur is deposited in the coagulated rubber as described in Specification 25,256/11.

Granted: 1913-12-24
Abstract: 3542. Franklin, W. S. Feb. 11. Flexible-diaphragm pumps.-A diaphragm pumps more particularly for pumping ammonia vapour in domestic refrigerating apparatus, comprises a resilient smooth metal diaphragm 1 clamped between two slightly dished metal plates 3, 4 and reciprocated by a body of oil or other liquid acting on one side of the diaphragm and set in motion by a reciprocating plunger 12. The clearance spaces between the suction and delivery valves 22, 23 and the diaphragm chamber are made as small as possible, and to avoid damage to the diaphragm the inlet and outlet passages are branched out into a number of very fine passages 25, 26 so as to leave the inner surface of the diaphragm chamber practically smooth. The displacement volume of the plunger 12 is greater than the displacement volume of the diaphragm so that the diaphragm is forced to the limit of its movement before the rod 15 reaches the end of its stroke, the remainder of the motion being taken up by a spring 16 between the rod 15 and the plunger 12. Any leakage of oil is made up from a reservoir 19 by means of a one-way valve 20.

Abstract: 14,144. Martel, A. F. June 18. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Transferring articles to or from trains in motion.-A device for receiving and delivering articles from and'to moving trains comprises on the track inclined cables 8, 9 on which run riders 10, 11 carrying pivoted hooks 12, the upper ends of which rest against notches 48 in arms 24 carried by the central support 6 of the cables. Two riders are provided for oppositely running trains, and the rider that is not required is placed horizontally on a shelf 22. When the ring 18 of a train package is caught by the hook 12 the impact causes the rider to move up the cable 8 until its momentum is lost. The track apparatus also carries forked arms 19, 19<1> for delivering packages to the train. On the train is arranged a pivoted arm 15 which may be supported on either side of the door according to the direction of travel. The arm 15 carries a detachable end-piece 26 around which is a sleeve 35 carrying a hook 32 for receiving packages from the track. Pivoted at the end of the piece 26 is a fork 16, Fig. 9, which supports in grooves 38 the ring 18 of the package 17. The hook 16 terminates in two inclined faces 40 one of which abuts against a plate 37 backed by a rubber buffer 36, so that the hook may be adjusted according to the direction of travel and also held in position by the buffer 36. The arm 15 is locked out of position by a catch 47, and is extended to the proper position for operation by a double lever 21, 42, Fig. 14. The part 21 is swivelled to the sleeve 35, and when the package on the track is caught, the impact is deadened by the closing-up of the levers 21, 42.

Abstract: 23,575. Bunzel-Delton-Werk. Oct. 25, 1912, [Convention date]. Multiplying and dividing apparatus. - In a machine for multiplying &c. by repeated addition, of the stepped-barrel and pinion type, two totalizing-counters are provided, of which the rear counter is provided with a manually-controlled reversing-mechanism for determining at will the sign of the operation performed upon it, the reversing-mechanism being positioned close to the laterally-movable rule. The actuating- connexion between the two counters is unclutched before transfer takes place upon the rear counter. The rotation of the stepped barrels 1 is transmitted in either direction of rotation to driving-wheels 2, which communicate their rotation to pinions 6 engaging pinions 5 on the numeral drums 4 of a totalizing-counter, the first set of drums 4 being provided for indicating the multiplier. The rear counter is driven either through gearing 7, 9 or in the opposite direction through gearing 8, 10, 11, the change-gear pinions 7, 8 being slidably mounted on the numeral-drum spindles so as to be movable into one or other position, or into a disengaged position, by means of a lever 12 mounted on the rule. The actuating-spindle 13 of the rear counter is connected bv a clutch 14 with the spindle of the driving-wheel 2, and after actuation thereof by the stepped barrels 1, the clutch is opened by means of a disk-cam 15 upon the barrel shaft, which through an abutment 16 thereon displaces a lever 17 controlling the clutch. The numeral drums of the second counter are only driven by the sliding changegear when it is in either of its end positions, in order that, when the change-gear is in the disengaged position, the drums may be zeroized without lifting the rule. Similarly, the other counters may be zeroized if their actuating- pinions are not fixed to the numeral drums. The zeroizing - lever may be connected to the lever 12 so that the first movement of the zeroizing-lever effects the throw-out of the changegear. The setting of the multiplicand upon the driving-wheels 2 is indicated on numeral drums rotated by means of a pinion 20, which gears with a fixed rack 22 and is provided with a bevel-pinion 21 engaging a similar pinion 24 on the spindle of the numeral drums.
