Filed: 1909-06-18
Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 14,290. Morse, F. L. June 27, 1908, [Convention date]. Joint pins.-In driving-chains of the open-link roller type in which the joint pins are in two or more parts which rock on each other, all the parts are extended through both the inside and outside link plates, thereby increasing the bearing area of all the parts and also the shearing strength of the complete pin. In the arrangement shown in Figs.], 2, and 3 the joint pin is in two parts, namely the seat pin 1 and rocker 2. The pin 1 is made with a substantially plane bearing-surface, and the rocker 2 is formed with a rounded bearing-surface. The apertures in the links are made so that the seat pins are held in the apertures of the outside links at each alternate joint, while the rockers are held in the outside plates at the other joints where the seat pins are held in the apertures of the inside plates. The pins 1 are shouldered at 9 at alterna'e joints for angular clearance in the apertures of the outside plates 4, and the rockers 2 are shouldered at 11 at the intermediate joints for the same purpose. The rivet pins 12 which hold the chain together may fit recesses in the seat pins and rockers for the purpose of holding the joint-pin parts in place. The rockers 2 may be notched at 10, Fig. 2, at each alternate joint, and both parts may be provided with shouldered projections to extend through openings in the washers 14. In Fig. 15, the joint pins are in three parts, namely two similar parts 18, 19 having convex bearing- surfaces facing each other, and a central pin member 20 having two oppositely facing concave bearing- surfaces. The part 20 has a shoulder extending through and riveted to an outside washer 22 for holding the chain together. In Fig. 24, the pin comprises two side parts 24, 25 having concave bearing-surfaces facing each other, and a central cylindrical pin 26. Specification 870/08, [Class 24, Chains &c.], is referred to.

Granted: 1910-08-11
Abstract: 23,110. Meyer, E. E. A. G. Oct. 9. Devuleanizing and utilizing waste indiarubber.-Waste rubber is treated with small quantities of a rubber solvent for softening the mass, and at the same time with a solvent for sulphur which is not a rubber solvent. The desulphurized product is then " depolymerized " by the addition of a neutral soap, preferably made from the resin that accompanies natural rubber. The rubber is first comminuted, and separated from mechanical additions. It is then placed in an iron vessel and treated with a mixture of a rubber solvent such as phenol, naphtha, nitrobenzene, chloroform, and a solvent for sulphur such as acetone at a temperature of 40-50‹ C., the proportions varying from 7 parts of rubber solvent and 8 parts of sulphur solvent, to 4 parts of rubber solvent and 6 parts of sulphur solvent. To 1 kilo of rubber is added about 6 kilos of mixed solvent. This treatment lasts from 2 to 5 hours. Factice &c. may be removed by an alcoholic solution of soda or potash. The desulphurized rubber is finally treated with from 10 to 30 per cent of a neutral soap at a temperature of from 140-210‹ C. and a pressure of from 3-15 atmospheres. The soap is made as follows:-100 kilos of rubber resin are boiled with 200 kilos of water and 20 kilos of sodium hydroxide, and 5 kilos of sodium carbonate are added to the boiling mass. In cases where the resins do not easily saponify, to 100 parts of resin are added 10 parts of coconut oil, and this mass is boiled with 10 parts of caustic in 50 parts of water and 2 parts of sodium carbonate in 50 parts of water, and 200 parts of water are gradually added. Or the resin and soda may be melted together and dissolved in water.

Abstract: 6274. Heide, H. C., [representative of Bailey, J. W.]. March 12, 1909, [Convention date]. Lead monoxide and dioxide and white lead are made in apparatus in which comminuted lead is subjected to rapidly recurring violent impacts while being showered through a body of air in the receptacle. Granulated or comminuted lead and water are fed by pipes 18<1>, 19 into a drum 1 divided into several compartments by partitions 9<1>, 10. The drum 1 and its shaft 15 are then rotated in opposite directions or in the same direction at different speeds, the material being raised by ribs or buckets 46 on the drum and showered upon diamond sectioned beaters 20 attached to the shaft. The partitions 9<1>, 10 are provided with ports 21, 22 covered with gauze 25, 26, the gauze 26 being of finer mesh, so that the material, which the construction of the ports allows to travel through in one direction only, may be of progressively increasing fineness. The material is finally discharged by an outlet 33 to a floating-box 36 and thence to settling-tanks 40, 41. It is stated that the temperature produced in the apparatus is above 100‹ C., that some of the water is decomposed, and that monoxide or dioxide is produced as desired by allowing a shorter or longer time for the oxidation. When white lead is to be produced, carbon dioxide, with a suitable acid if desired, is admitted through the hollow shaft 15, either before or after the oxide has been produced. The partitions 9, 10 may be dispensed with.
