Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Welded Pipes.
Inventor: TWER ALBERT
Filed: 1908-07-11
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 14,772. Twer, A. July 11. Bending; welding.-In making pipes and tubes with butt or lap joints from either welding-iron or converter-iron, the bending and welding processes are combined to form the pipe at a single heating, the sheet being drawn through a bending- die to a roll-welding apparatus by a pair of tongs worked by a draw-bench; the subsequent feeding of the pipe is accomplished by the joint action of the draw-bench and the rollers. The sheet is drawn through the bending-die 5, from the furnace by tongs 1, connected to the chain 8, which through gearing rotates the rollers 3, 4, at a circumferential speed equal to that of the chain. A mandrel 17 is then inserted in the rear of the rollers, being connected to a crank arm 16, a hand lever, and a rod. To adjust the welding the upper roller is mounted in bearings which are vertically adjusted by rods 20 and cranks on a hand-operated shaft 21, projections 25 on the rods being arranged to strike against the frame when the shaft is turned past the dead-point of the cranks to prevent accidental release of the shaft. The welding pressure may be adjusted for pipes of all diameters by forming the rods 20 with right and left handed screw sleeves 26. The rolls and mandrels are interchangeable according to the size of pipe. When forming small pipes a separate strip is welded on the sheet for drawing the latter out of the furnace.

Title: Improvements in Hot Water Tubes.
Inventor: MERES LEO HAMILTON
Filed: 1908-11-02
Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 23,383. Meres, L. H., and Maitland, J. Nov. 2. Water and air heating stoves.-Relates to hotwater tubes having longitudinal partitions within them, and consists in extending the partitions into the T-pieces which connect a series of such tubes and also in supporting the partition upon ledges in the tubes. As shown in Fig. 3 and 4, a tube 1 is provided internally with ledges 7<2>, upon which rests a partition 7<1> extending into a T-piece 4. A number of these tubes are assembled as shown in Fig. 1, to form a water-heater, the T-pieces being connected together by means of nipples 5 or by any other suitable means. The T-pieces of each vertical row of tubes are also preferably held together by rods passing through eyes in flanges provided on the T-pieces. The top tubes communicate by tubes 8 with a manifold 2. When the water is used for heating purposes, it is returned to the lower tubes, and a continuous circulation takes place. The tubes are enclosed in a coal-heated or gas-heated receptacle 9, preferably surrounded by a jacket. 10 from which hot-air pipes may be led. The apparatus may be employed in a steam heating system by circulating steam instead of water through the tubes, also by circulating air amongst the tubes and hot water or steam through the tubes, the apparatus could be used as a hot-air furnace.

Title: Improvements in Tobacco Leaf Stripping Machines.
Inventor: GERRIE HARRY ROBERT
Filed: 1908-11-09
Granted: 1909-08-05
Abstract: 23,985. Gerrie, H. R., and Pender, W. Nov. 9. Tobacco. - In a tobacco leaf-stemming machine, the leaf is stripped by means of a pair of angular plates having cutting-apertures, preferably elliptical, one of which plates is adapted to be moved longitudinally so that the apertures may be partly out of register. The apertures are placed in register by means of the lever 58, while the butt end of the stalk is inserted therein and gripped by the pressure rolls 12, 13. When the lever 58 is released, the apertures resume the position shown in Fig. 5 and strip the leaf, the stems passing through the pressure rolls being carried away by the conveyer 28. When a sufficient part of the leaf has been stripped, the operator throws into gear by means of a clutch the disk 51 having mounted thereon a cam 57, which engages with the sleeve 61 of the spring-controlled lever 58 and operates the movable angular plate 46, causing the stem to be cut through. The position of this cam 57 is adjustable by means of a screw 55 and nut 56. The disk 51 is controlled by a weighted cord 67 so that, when the clutch is thrown out of gear, the disk resumes a position determined by a stop 69 which engages with the cam 57. The rolls 12, 13 are preferably covered with a resilient material, such as rubber, or may be made of steel or other material, and are provided with scrapers 20. The machine is provided with a cover.

Abstract: 16,560. Rosier, C. Oct. 11, 1909, [Convention date]. Transferring designs.-In process for transferring pictures, designs, &c., particularly applicable to transferring designs on to celluloid, gelatine, glass, mica, transparent papers, &c., the sheet of celluloid or other surface to receive the transfer is coated with a solution of celluloid in acetone and alcohol, and the transfer is applied in a press heated to 70-80‹ C. The paper is then removed by soaking in a bath of potassium carbonate, arsenious acid, hydroquinone, and rain or boiled water. The design can be covered with a layer of transparent varnish or of colour formed with a basis of gumlac. If a design has to be applied to a sheet of gelatine the latter is treated in a tanning bath to render it insoluble before it is coated with the celluloid solution. In order to vary the effect, the material to which the design is to be transferred may be coloured, or portions of the material may be coated with celluloid solution of different colours.
