Granted: 1907-07-25
Abstract: 5862. Balchin, W. L. F. March 11. Labels, tickets, &c.-In order to render labels for chemists' bottles, drawers, &c. washable and acid-proof, they are faced by a sheet of celluloid somewhat larger than the label and fixed to it by a suitable adhesive, such as a mixture of acetone and varnish. The edges of the celluloid sheet curl inwards and, when the label is applied, bear upon the bottle &c. and prevent the entrance of moisture &c. beneath the label.

Granted: 1907-11-21
Abstract: 7070. Kr³ger, C. H. March 25. Boat-lowering gear.-In marine life-saving apparatus of the type in which communication between two ships is made by a kite or other aeroplane carrying a life-line, a special device is employed for lowering the kite over the ship, and the following device for launching boats by means of the lifeline is described. Each boat S, Fig. 7, is provided with an upright U at each end having a pulleyblock L, Fig. 3, with a spring tongue L', by means of which the boat is suspended on the line O carried by the kite. The boat is then raised to a sufficient height above deck and allowed to run down the line, the weight of the boat causing the line to sag sufficiently to enable the boat to enter the water. Boats are thus kept away from the side of the ship when launching.

Abstract: 18,953. Fessler, M. Aug. 25, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Making chains.-In a machine for manufacturing wire chains, wire is wound round a mandrel into helical form and slit into rings by a circular saw or other means. The split rings are then driven by a plunger into a die and over the link previously formed, the ring being made plane and closed by the die. The mandrel 9 is fixed and the wire is coiled by a rotating sleeve 6 and slit by a saw 14, Fig. 6. The rings are pushed forward in a channel 27 through a distance equal to the thickness of one link by a presser 16 operated through a collar 24 actuated by a cam 18 on the main shaft of the machine. A cam-operated pin 33 enters the slits in the foremost rings and extends them while a cam-operated plunger 36 drives the foremost ring into a die 30 and over the previously-formed link placed in a die 28 at right-angles to the first die. These dies are mounted on a plate 29 intermittently turned through 90 degrees by a Geneva stop motion and are shaped so as first to bend the rings plane and then close them.

Title: Improvement in, and Means for, the Manufacture of Nitrogen Oxides.
Inventor: SPITZER FRITZ
Filed: 1907-10-08
Granted: 1907-11-28
Abstract: 22,201. Spitzer, F. Oct. 12, 1906, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Nitrogen oxides produced by submitting a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen to the action of an electric arc are collected directly from the inner zone of the arc. A small tube e, Figs. 1 and 2, having a water or air jacket k or the like, is used for this purpose, and thus the gases are rapidly cooled, while the tube is prevented from melting. One of the electrodes, Figs. 3 and 4, may be adapted for removing the nitrogen oxides according to this process. The arc is preferably surrounded by a tube f, Fig. 3, or by two tubes f, i, Fig. 4. In the latter case the mixture passing between the walls f, i cools the tube f, and is itself warmed up before it enters the electric arc.

Title: Improvements relating to the Stopping of Trains on Railways.
Inventor: KUEHNE FRANZ CARL
Filed: 1908-02-04
Granted: 1908-07-16
Abstract: 2532. Kuhne, F. C. Feb. 4. Brakes.-A device is described for covering the track rails with sand for the purpose of stopping a train. A section of the rails 3 is arranged in troughs 4 which are filled with sand to the level of the rail head. Boxes 6, also filled with sand, are hinged to the troughs and are connected by levers 7 to a weight 8, which is held up by a hydraulic or compressed-air cylinder 9. The release of the weight causes the sand to be tipped on to the rails. The pressure in the cylinder may be controlled by a lever 10, which may be operated from a train and which actuates the device 12 on the pipe 11, so that the weight is released and the boxes are tilted. The reversal of the controlling - device will cause the weight to rise and the boxes to return to their normal position, out of the way of the incoming train. The weight may be also electro-magnetically controlled.

Abstract: 9648. Barbezat, A. May 4. Elastic-fluid turbines.-A high-pressure impulse part is combined with a low-pressure reaction part, and the blades are fixed in position by pouring molten metal round their roots. Fig. 2 shows a De Laval wheel 1 working with partial feed combined with Parsons' drums 5, 5<a>, packing-rings 6 being fitted where necessary. In a modification, a single reaction part 5 is provided, and a thrust block is arranged on the shaft. Fig. 4 shows four methods of fixing the blades. Each blade 19 in a ring is slid over a ridge 20 or into a groove in the rotor drum, and the parts are bound together by running in molten metal 18. In order that the excess metal may be removed in a lathe, guard-rings 16, and annular plates 17 maybe placed to keep the inter-blade spaces clear. In the second method, cross-passages 24 are provided, and the metal is introduced through a pipe 27. In the third and fourth methods, the drum is placed on end, and metal is introduced through a passage 24 and crosspassages 26. The guard-rings 16 placed between the blades and between the rings are kept in position by bands 25. In the fourth method, a sand or other core 61 is used instead of guard-rings. The impulse blades on the wheel 1 are secured in a similar manner.
