Abstract: 11,172. Schofield, F. May 9. Curtainstretchers. - Comprises a construction of apparatus f o r stretching curtains &c., of the type in which bars fitted with gripping-appliances c o mprising two hooks out of line with each other a r e suspended from an ordinary clothes line, and are fixed in position by the hooks kinking the line. Fig. 3 shows the apparatus applied to one end of a curtain comprising two parallel rods a which may be clamped together to secure the end of the curtain directly, or, as shown, may clamp a strip of webbing g to which the curtain is attached by pins, clips, or the like. In the construction shown, one hook d is carried by the bar, and the other e is carried by the bracket c, but in some cases both hooks may be formed on the bracket. In operation, the ends of the curtain are secured to the webbing, and one appliance is moved along the line until the curtain is stretched so that the tension on the lower end of the rods causes the hooks to kink the line sufficiently to lock both appliances in position.

Granted: 1913-09-08
Abstract: 18,287. Pollak, F. Dec. 6, 1911, [Convention date]. Phenol-formaldehyde condensation products.- In the production of insoluble, air-proof, and odourless condensation products from phenols and formaldehyde, a soluble resin is first obtained from phenols and tri- or poly-oxymethylenes without using contact agents, and after purification by repeated washing with water and heating to over 105‹ C., formaldehyde solution is added, and the mixture is heated to 30-40‹ C. in vacuo until distillation ceases; the temperature is then raised to about 95‹ C. to drive off all water and traces of phenol, and the mass is finally hardened by heating in moulds. The tri- or poly-oxymethylenes employed in the initial process are those insoluble in sodium sulphite solution; instead of these bodies paraformaldehyde of high volatilisation-point may be employed in presence of very small quantities of acid. Small amounts of cresols, resorcin, chlorphenols, &c., may be added to the phenol used in the initial process. Instead of using formaldehyde solution in the vacuum distillation process, paraformaldehyde soluble in water may be used. Very small amounts of acids; bases, or salts may be added before or during the vacuum distillation. Filling or colouring materials may be added to the mass before the hardening process. The hardening process may be effected under pressure, or in an atmosphere of formaldehyde. Specification 1921/08 is referred to.

Abstract: 14,891. Lake, W. E., [Skandinavisk Staalremskivefabrik ved. J. C. Martins, og A. Neilsen]. June 27. [Addition to 22, 134/12.] Variable - speed friction gearing.-Relates to a modification of the arrangement with two double-cone intermediate gear members desscribed with reference to Figs. 5-10 of the parent Specification. Two clutch members 19, 20, Fig. 1, are added by the use of which reversed driving and idle running are obtained. The gear members 6, 7 are supported at their ends in bearings 9, which slide radially in disks 11, 13, 14, 12. These disks are constructed as shown in Fig. 2, and are connected together in pairs. The disks 11, 13 are connected by a sleeve 15 to a fixed frame 16, so that power applied to a pulley 23 is transmitted through disks 24, the member 6 and disks 4, 5 to a shaft 1, which is driven in the opposite direction. The disks 12, 13 are adapted to turn with a sleeve 18, which carries the clutch members 19, 20 and is adapted to be moved longitudinally when a lever 36 is turned about the shaft 1. When the member 20 is in engagement with the frame 16, the disks 12, 13 are held against rotation and power is transmitted through disks 2, 3, the member 7, and disks 22 to a pulley 21. The pulley 21 turns in the same direction as the pulley 23 at a compounded speed ratio. When the sleeve 18 is moved to disconnect the member 20 and connect the member 19 to the pulley 21, the gearing within the pulley 21 is constrained to turn solid with the shaft 1, and is thus driven reversely to the pulley 23. An intermediate position of the sleeve 18 breaks the driving connexion. The speed is varied by turning a wheel 39 which is connected to a screwed operating-sleeve 31.
