Granted: 1909-10-28
Abstract: 11,301. Caldwell, R. J., Pfleumer, F., and Pfleumatic Syndicate. May 12. Upholstery stuffing-apparatus.-Relates to apparatus for making elastic, cellular, foamy, and spongy material for filling tyres, cushions &c., and for forcing the material into the tyres &c. The material is mixed and beaten into foam in the apparatus shown in Fig. 4. The stirrer consists of a series of helically-arranged blades q connected by hooks or links r, and slidably mounted on a squared spindle h<1>. The blades q are curved, so that the parts near the spindle drive the material in one direction, and the extremities drive it in the other, or short blades t may be provided, which drive the material in the opposite direction to the blades q. Tanning -material is introduced by means of a cylinder z fitted with a piston 1. The formed material is expelled by a plunger g, Fig. 2, operated by a piston c in an hydraulic cylinder b. A round part h of the spindle h<1> passes through the plunger g and the piston c, and revolves in a bearing j held in place by a bayonet joint m controlled by a handle m'. Fig. 10 shows an appliance for filling tyres. To the mixer is connected a casing 5, in which works a piston valve 6 operated by a screw 7. To the casing 5 are attached telescopic tubes 9 carrying at their ends fittings 12 to which the tyre can be attached.

Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 21,947. Werber. I. June 5, [Convention datel. [Addition to 21,942/09.] Mantles.-Inclosing the ends of inverted or upright mantles by the method described in the parent Specification, the contracted part of the mantle is held in place by a serrated ring or an annular disk &c., or between two such rings or disks, while the part of the mantle within the ring is sewn. The spider may also be formed by sticking together the flattened materal of the mantle by means of an adhesive composed of a mixture of some organic adhesive with the nitrates of the metals employed in making the mantle. After the mantle 8 has been contracted by means of an iris shutter, the annular disk 30 with downwardly-directed points 31 is pressed upon the mantle, and before the annular disk and the mantle are removed from the mandrel, the material of the collar 14 is pressed flat and the mantle 8 turned upwards, as shown in Fig. 2. The annular disk is preferably placed in a circular recess on the sewing-machine, which limits the displacement of the disk 30 so that the sewing- needle can only work within the central aperture of the disk. When the spider is formed by adhesion, the adhesive is applied tu the flat pressed material through the opening in the annular disk, and the disk is left in position while the adhesive dries. If a quickly-drying adhesive is used the disk 30 may be dispensed with.

Abstract: 27,806. Ramage, A. S. Nov. 29. Ore and oxide processes; annealing; deposited iron, refining.-Spongy iron is obtained by reducing magnetite, or other ore &c., at a dull red heat with water-gas rich in hydrogen. Hydrogen is removed from electrolytically deposited iron, obtained by using the spongy iron as an anode, by melting the iron with an oxide of an alloying metal, such as chromium, vanadium, titanium, or tungsten to form a steel; a mass of spongy iron containing titanium oxide may be used for this purpose. A gas capable of oxidizing the hydrogen may also be used, or the hydrogen may be removed by annealing under reduced pressure. Specification 9991/90, [Class 41, Electrolysis], is referred to.

Abstract: 7013. Monski, A. March 21. Movable - abutment type; compensating for irregularity of flow.-In a blower having a rotary abutment engaging with a rotary winged piston, one stuffing-box is provided in the flange of one of the bearings of the driving-shaft, the other three bearings for the shafts of the piston and abutment being provided in closed chambers in the cylinder-heads. The stuffing-box 8 is arranged in a flange of the bearing-frame 10, which carries the shaft 5, to which is secured a disk 4 supporting the vanes 1. The shaft carrying the abutment 2 and the other end of the shaft 5 are supported in bearings arranged in the cylinder-heads and fitted with covers 17, 19, 16. A conduit 21, connecting the delivery side 7 to the suction side 6, is provided with a valve 22 on the stem of which a weighted lever 24 is made to bear. On the pressure in the delivery pipe exceeding a certain limit, the valve lifts and allows the excess of gas to return to the suction side. The lever moves in a guide 26 where it is subjected to the pressure of a spring-pressed pin 28, which thereby prevents undesirable oscillations of the lever.

Abstract: 17,363. Wood, J. July 21. Automatic gear. - Valve-gear of the kind wherein the valve motion is taken from a rocking lever having a variable position or operative throw is adjusted by a governor having fluid-pressure transmitting-gear. The governor shaft 1, Fig. 1, drives through toothed gearing a shaft 4, which operates continuously a pump provided with suction and delivery valves 12, 13, and adapted to force oil or other liquid along a passage 7, which communicates with a cylinder 8 containing a ram 9. The passage 7 has two outlets 14, 15, Fig. 3, leading into the oil reservoir. One of the outlets is controlled by a valve 16 actuated by the governor, and the other by a valve 17 operated by the starting-lever. The mechanism connecting the starting-lever with the throttle valve is arranged so that the first movement of the lever does not close the valve 17 and the engine is under the control of the driver. When the valve 17 is closed, if the speed of the engine increases and causes the governor to rise, the valve 16 is closed, and the ram 9 forced up to produce an earlier cut-off.

Wick-locking devices ; extinguishing wick burners ; wicks. - A vertically - adjustable circular plate between the wickt u b e and the flame spreader is provided with means to limit the vertical motion of the wick while permitting it to burn evenly over its whole edge, the plate being adapted to extinguish the burner when let down on the wicktube. In one construction, Fig. 1. the plate a between the flame-spreader o and wick-tube 4 is connected by nuts 6, 7 to a sleeve 2, which slides on a stationary rod 1 and is actuated by a link 8 and crank 10 from a sleeve 9 on the wick-raising spindle. On feeding the wick upwards by means of this spindle and the rack 15, the plate 3 and sleeve 2 are raised and operate through a coiled spring 13 a bell-crank lever 14, a ratchet on one arm of which then engages with the rack 15 and locks the wick. By turning the sleeve 9, the plate 3 is raised until it abuts against the flame-spreader. The flame is extinguished by turning down the wick and plate. In a modification, Fig. 3, the motion of the wick is limited by the plate 3 striking the flame-spreader, the plate being connected by a rod 20 to a bar 19 which bridges an outwardly-barbed thin-walled cylinder 18 arranged inside the wick. The flame-spreader is preferably secured to the burner by a bayonetjoint 21, and a uniform flame is obtained by the provision of a renewable wick-ring 17 with evenly-woven edges, which is pushed on the cylinder 18 into contact with the ordinary wick.

Abstract: 13,890. Newberry, S. B., and Barrett, H. N. June 10. Calcium, aluminium, and iron phosphates.- A citrate-soluble phosphatic fertilizer is obtained by heating natural phosphates with alkali sulphate in an oxidizing-atmosphere to a temperature sufficiently high to oxidize and eliminate the sulphur. Sodium sulphate is used in the proportion of from one-sixth to two-thirds of the phosphoric acid present, or an equivalent proportion of potassium sulphate is used. The temperature required is generally 2500-3000‹ F. An internally-fired revolving kiln, such as is used in making Portland cement, is suitable for the purpose. During heating the materials are continually agitated so that fresh surfaces are exposed.
