Title: A Method of Treating Armour Plate.
Inventor: WALES SAMUEL SIGOURNEY
IPC: C21D9/42
Filed: 1912-02-29
Granted: 1912-10-31
Abstract: 5089. Wales, S. S. Feb. 29. Hardening.-In the production of homogeneous armour-plates, the ingot, after casting and forging, is heated to about 875‹ C., quenched with water, reheated to about 775‹ C., cooled slowly, and rough-machined. The plate may then be reheated to about 750‹ C., and bent or straightened. It is next annealed by being heated preferably to about 500‹ C. by one or more treatments, cooled in air, and machined. It is then water-hardened in any suitable way, but preferably by heating uniformly to about 725-775‹ C. and quenching with water applied simultaneously on both surfaces. One surface is then softened by heating the plate to 500-550‹ C. on one side, while the other is protected by loam or other means, the hard surface being sprayed with water on the removal of the plate from the furnace. Before the heating to 875‹ C., the plate may be heated to about 700‹ C., cooled slowly, and reforged at the ordinary reforging temperature.

Abstract: 19,099. Vains, A. R. de, and Peterson, J. F. T. Aug. 28, 1912, [Convention date]. Pulp, preparation of.-Preliminarily to bleaching ligno-cellulose and pecto-cellulose, non-cellulosic bodies contained therein, such as ketones, are removed by being first chlorinated with hydrates of chlorine dissolved in water, followed by dissolving- out the products with an alkaline solution, such as caustic soda. The mass to be bleached, such as hard cellulose pulp obtained by the soda or bisulphite processes, is charged through an opening d in a cylinder a, preferably of reinforced concrete, Fig. 1, hydrate of chlorine being introduced through an opening e. The mass is agitated by means of a pump c, until it is found by testing that the chlorine is well absorbed, whereupon the chlorinated pulp is transferred to a washing-apparatus. The washing-apparatus comprises, preferably, a reinforced-concrete cylinder f, Fig. 2, having a perforated false bottom g of copper or of an antimony-lead alloy, a lead draining-pipe h having a siphon h<1> and a cock h<2>, a pump j<1> and connexions j. The pulp is charged into the cylinder through a pipe k having a valve k<1>, at the top, and then drained ; clean water is then injected to the desired level through a pipe i and cock i<1> at the bottom of the cylinder, and the pump started. After a few minutes the cylinder is again drained, the escaping liquid slightly charged with chlorine being available for later operations. Sufficient water is added to the washed pulp, followed by the quantity of alkaline solution necessary to dissolve the ketonic chloride, after which the pump is run for a time ; the operation may then be repeated. The cellulose is then flushed away to a bleaching-engine, where it is treated with chloride of lime. For bleaching soda-process pulp, onetenth its weight of chloride is required ; if this is obtained electrolytically, one-sixth of the correspondingly liberated caustic soda is available for the alkaline treatment, while the balance may be used for " cooking " the wood. The semi-pulp so obtained is then washed and triturated, if necessary, and is then chlorinated &c. as above.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Fastener-inserting or like Machines.
IPC: A43D69/02
Filed: 1915-04-14
Abstract: 5640. Roberts, W. T. B., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. April 14. Loose - nailing; protectors, inserting; slugging stapling. - Fastener - inserting machines, particularly for use in the manufacture of boots &c., are provided with means by which the power of the blow imparted to the driver is varied automatically in accordance with change of character of the work, or character or number of fasteners, by regulating the energy imparted to the driver actuator which, conveniently, is a spring. The invention is described as applied to the machine described in Specification 23,374/97, in which the length of fastener cut from wire is controlled from a handle A which moves a guard B to mask a ratchet feed-wheel C. At the end of the shaft A<1> on which the handle A is mounted is fixed an arm E having ratchet teeth F on its curved upper end, which is engaged by a plunger K connected to a spring-pressed link L. This link is connected to a ring M, which is recessed to receive an adjustable ring H<1> provided with a stop H adapted to contact with an abutment W on the periphery of a looselymounted cylindrical member V located between, and connected to, two driver actuating springs S, S<1>; the outside ends of those springs are connected respectively to a loosely-mounted driver actuating bar R, and a fast abutment T. When the machine is to be used for driving short nails, the handle A is raised and the arm E positioned so that the plunger K engages the lower portion of its curved end. When the driver is lifted, which is effected by a cam P of the form shown and described in the abovementioned Specification, the springs S, S' are tensioned throughout their entire length, since the abutment W does not engage the stop H. When the handle A is lowered to set the feed for long nails, the plunger K engages the higher portion of the arm E and the stop H is turned into such a position that, on the lifting of the driver, it is engaged by the abutment W after a certain amount of tension has been applied to both springs, and then, during the combined upward movement of the driver, the spring S' is cut out and a greater tensioning of the spring S results. When the longest nail is to be driven, the stop and abutment are so set that the spring S' is cut out altogether, and all the tensioning is performed on the spring S. When the invention is applied to a machine of the type described in Specification 25,951/05, the connexion L may be controlled from the lever that controls the change in the length of fastener, which is automatically determined by the thickness of the work; when the change of fastener is under the control of the operator, as in the machine described in Specification 15,469/14, the connexion L or its equivalent may be actuated by a usual form of knee-lever.
