IPC: F02M37/02
Filed: 1917-11-12
Abstract: 129,380. Higginson, J., and Arundel, H. Nov. 12, 1917. Vacuum apparatus.-In liquid-fuel supply apparatus for internal-combustion engines wherein fuel is raised by suction from a main to an auxiliary tank, means are provided whereby a ready supply of fuel or carburetted air may be obtained for starting. The chamber a is in communication with the vessel into which the fuel is raised, and a branch fitting b therefrom supports a tube c open to the atmosphere at h and communicating with the suction conduit c through an inner tube f with control cock g. The flow of fuel to the tube c may be controlled by a needle valve d which may, however, be replaced by a very small aperture. Fuel passes to the carburettor by way of the outlet j. In a modifica.- tion, the tube f is open to the atmosphere at its upper end, and the tube c is connected to the suction conduit so that carburetted air will always be supplied instead of, as in the former construction, fuel at first and carburetted air afterwards. Specifications 12835/11, 20191/14, 10770/115, 16396/15, 104,256, and 126,344 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Hollow Bodies Made from Rubbered Cord Fabric and the Method of Manufacturing the same.
Inventor: SLOPER THOMAS
IPC: B29C63/00
Filed: 1917-11-14
Abstract: 120,618. Sloper, T. Nov. 14, 1917. Floats for aerial machines.-Relates to a method of making footballs, floats for aeroplanes, and other hollow bodies from rubbered cord fabric and without a mechanical joint. According to the invention, unvulcanized rubbered cord is assembled on the outside of a former, the envelope thus made is slit open at one end by parting adjacent cords sufficiently to enable the former to be removed, and the cpened portion is then closed again ready to receive a second layer of rubbered cord. Fig. 3 shows a football in an intermediate stage of its manufacture, with the first layer opened out for the removal of the former A. The second layer preferably consists of cords C laid around one-half of the ball before the former is removed; the other half is made up as a cap D and applied bodily. The layers B, C may be partially or wholly vulcanized before removing the former or applying the cap D. If it is desired to fit a bladder inside the ball, the layer B is provided with a permanent slit and the cap part D<x> with a flap, as shown, which can be turned back to give access to the bladder. For floats, a fluidtight liner which is left permanently in place may be built on the former. This liner may have a slit for the removal of the former and a flap for afterwards sealing the slit to make it fluid tight. A collapsible former may be used.

Abstract: 854,674. Flame guns. SAVILLE, H. Y. May 21, 1959 [May 27, 1958], No. 16764/58. Class 119. A portable flame gun comprises two tubular units 1, 2 joined together at their closed inner ends by a part 3 with a manually operated pressurizing pump 4 located in the end 5 of the unit 2. The unit 1 forms a housing for a fuel vaporizing coil 18 and flame producing jet 19, the coil 18 being fed by a pipe 16 terminating in a filter 12 passing through the part 3 into the unit 2 which forms a container for the liquid fuel. Air inlet openings 20 are formed in the wall of the unit 1 which has an open end for flame emission. A control valve 13 operated by a knob 14 is provided in the feed pipe 16 for flame adjustment. To facilitate lighting of the flame gun a cup-like element 21, Fig. 3 (not shown), is provided to be an easy jet on the open end of the unit 1 and may include an asbestos pad-wick. Methylated spirits or paraffin is poured into the cup and ignited and the open end of the unit 1 located in the cup, the gun being withdrawn when ignition starts.

Title: Improvements in or relating to curing bag filling stems
IPC: B29C33/76
Filed: 1953-06-18
Abstract: 734,817. Valves for tyre curing-bags. FIRESTONE TIRE & RUBBER CO. June 18, 1953 [Dec. 19, 1952], No. 16854/53. Class 87 (2). A valve stem assembly in a curing bag comprises outer and inner clamping members 16, 17. embedded in the rubber wall of the bag or tube and screwed on a hollow stud 18, and a cup 19 movably positioned round the stud between the clamping members, the clamping members being drawn together by rotation of the stud and the end of the outer member 16 being drawn into the cup to form a compressed rubber annular seal therein. The clamping action is due to the members 16, 17 being internally screw threaded with opposite handed threads 27, 37 and the ends of the stud 18 being externally threaded with opposite handed threads 28, 30 to engage the threads 27, 37 respectively. Attached to (e.g. cast with) the upper clamping member 16, by spokes 22, is an anchor ring 21 which is preferably elongated, Fig. 2, to resist turning. A valve stem extension 14 is screwed into the outer end of the stud 16 and fixed by a lock nut. The inner clamping member 17 is elbow-shaped and screwthreaded for a drainage hose 40, and the inner end is flared and flanged at 41, the inner wall of the flange being threaded to provide ridges. Drainage holes 31 pierce the wall of the hollow stud 18. In fitting the valve stem assembly on the curing bag or tube the stud 18 is slightly screwed into the member 17 and passed through the valve stem hole previously cut in a thickened part of the rubber wall, and rubber is then pressed down on the flange 41, where it enters notches in the flange so that the member 17 cannot turn. Next, the inner end of the member 16 with the cup 19 placed thereover is screwed one turn on the end of the stud 18. A small amount of uncured rubber is wrapped round a non-working pipe thread 24 at one end of the member 16 before the cup 19 is placed over it. With the member 16 held against turning by means of the anchor ring 21 the stud 18 is turned, by inserting a suitable wrench through the member 16 into a socket 29 in the stud, so drawing the members 16 and 17 towards each other until the cup 19 is almost seated on the face 42 of the member 17, the flanges 41 and anchor ring 21 becoming embedded in the uncured rubber. Trapped air escapes through vents in the flange 41 and the space enclosed by it becomes filled with rubber which is gripped by the ridges of the internal thread. Alternatively the cup 19 could be placed on the stud before the member 16 is attached. The clamping members 16 and 17, with the anchor ring 21, are thus embedded in the rubber wall of the curing bag or tube. The extension 14 is fitted, the ends of the tube are joined, and the tube is cured in the mould, leaving the valve stem assembly firmly embedded in the rubber. The stem 18 is screwed down for the rest of its distance' after the curing, seating the cup 19 on the face 42 and compressing the rubber in the cup to make a fluid-tight fit round the end of the member 16. Specification 635,759, [Group XXIX], is referred to.

Abstract: 701,939. Stoppers &c. REMY, P. July 17, 1951, No. 16910/51. Class 125 (3). A closure for bottles &c. with screw-threaded necks has an inner cap 2 with a skirt and an outer cap 1 with weakened lines 8, 9, a cut portion 5 and a fracture lime 12 to facilitate tearing off the outer cap, both caps being originally smooth when applied to the bottle and the caps being then pressed on to the bottle neck to form threads. When the outer cap is torn off the inner cap may be used as a screw cap closure. The outer cap 1 is pressed into a groove 18 to prevent its removal without destruction.

[Class 44] In an electrically-controlled door &c. fastening of the kind in which the keeper for the latch or lock bolt nas a pivoted abutment member normally held in fastening position by a catch which can be released by electromagnet to allow the abutment to swing clear as the door &c. is opened, the abutment 13, pivoted at 12, is held by a hook 19 pivoted at 20 and engaging a shoulder on the abutment, the other end of member 19 being connected to a toggle link device 21, 24, 25 normally biassed towards aligned position by a spring 28. The links are kept slightly out of line, as shown, by an adjustable screw 29, and are held against collapse by a projection 32 on the armature 31 of an electromagnet 30. The engaging nose of the hook is inclined so that, when the projection 32 is withdrawn, opening pressure on the door causes the hook to ride clear, the links collapsing to the right, Fig. 1, during this movement.
