Granted: 1913-07-16
Abstract: 16,620. Johnson, G. W., [Chemische Fabrik Griesheim Elektron]. July 16. Dichlorethylene is obtained by heating equivalent proportions of acetylene and chlorine to a high temperature such as 150‹ C. or chlorine with excess of acetylene to temperatures of 30‹ C. and upwards, in capillary or narrow spaces, for example in the apparatus described in Specification 13,411/07. If chlorine be present to an extent of not more than 10 per cent, the capillary spaces may be dispensed with. The favourable influence of an excess of acetylene may be secured by admitting the chlorine in several portions.

Joint pins. -Relates to adjustable chainlink belts of the kind in which joint pins having eccentric parts pass through two side plates and a central element and are adapted to be rotatably adjusted and held fixed in relation to the side plates to adjust the effective length of the belt. The invention comprises an arrangement in which a disk or a plate of square or other suitable shape engages a hole in a central plate-link of the belt and is provided with eccentrically disposed shanks which engage holes in the side plate-links. In the form shown in Fig. 2, the central plate-link e of the belt is freely pivoted upon a disk b eccentrically dis posed in relation to its shanks a which engage the side plate-links c. Squared or other regularly-shaped portions d of the shanks engage similar holes in the side plates and permit rotary adjustment.

Abstract: 21,102. Wildt & Co., and Wildt, H. M. A. C. Sept. 18. Circular machines.-Machines for producing tuck-work and like patterned fabric are provided with a pattern-wheel 4 which is disposed with its side in oblique relation to the track of the needles in the ribbing-dial; or it may be applied to other circular flat needle beds. The wheel is provided with oblique slots 5 which gear with the needle butts without deflecting them from their normal path 7. Some of the slots 5 are occupied by removable bits 8 which deflect the corresponding needles along the side of the wheel to the track 9. The track 7 may be a tucking-track, and the track 9 an out-of-action track. The action of the wheel may be assisted by a dividing-cam 16. The wheel may cooperate with a cam 10 which may be placed by hand or automatically into different positions. In the position shown in full lines, the cam 10 is out of action. In the position a, the cam brings the needles in the track 9 to the tucking position, and so counteracts the effect of the wheel 4. In the position b, the cam brings all the needles into knitting position. A switch cam 17 may be employed to bring the needles that continue along the track 7 into knitting position.

Abstract: 21,787. Achilles, E. Sept. 27, 1912, [Convention date]. Launching torpedoes. - Relates to torpedo tubes provided with an inner guide-bar run out with the torpedo and subsequently returned automatically by a pneumatic ram. According to the invention, the ejecting - pressure bears directly on the torpedo, which, in turn, bears by means of guide-lugs d, Fig. 3, against a latch e on the guide-bar c, and drives the bar out until the latch is deflected by a fixed stop g; the released torpedo then proceeds on its journey and, on leaving the bar, deflects a lever i, Fig. 4, and sets the ram in action to return the bar into the tube. The deflexion of the lever i closes a vent o<2> and opens a valve s<2>, allowing compressed air confined in chambers q<1>, q<2> to escape, whereupon a valve r opens and admits compressed air from a receptacle p, Fig. 2, to a pipe o' leading to the ram m. The lever i is held in its deflected position by a spring catch t, which has to be released by hand before the next operation. The ram is checked by buffers g<1> as usual.
