Granted: 1913-12-24
Abstract: 10,241. Curran, J. May 1. Portable turning-apparatus. - A tool for facing manhole flanges is made in parts to facilitate insertion into the manhole. The tool comprises a boring-bar 1 with a cup head 2 provided with a key 5, and an oval or circular cutter-holder 3 having a central bore coned at its rear 4 and adapted to receive the boring-bar after both have been passed into the boiler, the key 5 engaging a recess in the holder, but in such a way as to permit relative movement so that the cutters can lie flat on the face to be cut. A positioning-device 6 capable of being expanded in the manhole forms a guide for the boring - bar, which is driven manually or by power through gearing 13 carried by a bracket 12, which forms a back support for the bar. The tool-holder carries the tools 9 in dovetail grooves, along which they are adapted to slide for adjustment, and mirrors 16 which show to the operator the progress of the operation.

Title: An Improved Selector Arrangement for Several Stations Lying on a Common Line.
IPC: H04Q5/16
Filed: 1913-05-19
Granted: 1914-01-01
Abstract: 11,579. Beckmann, C., and Akt.-Ges. Mix & Genest. May 19. Party-line systems and apparatus.-In systems in which a station is called by stepping round an arm i until contact is made with a terminal s and then sending a current to the bell g, the arms i at the different stations are brought into phase by means comprising arms o which are held at an initial position by stops p until a special releasing current is sent. The currents from the impulse - producing apparatus c at one station pass from earth E at that station over a contact d', instrument c, and contact d<2>, to line b, and thence over the stepping magnets h to earth E at all stations. The magnets h rotate the arms i, o at all stations, and when the proper number of currents has been sent for calling the desired station, the contact arm i is on the contact s there, and the depression of the key d' at the calling station connects the instrument c at the calling station and the bell g at the called station across the lines a, b. The selecting instruments at all stations are brought into phase by sending currents to bring all the arms o against the stops p and then, by depressing a key d<2>, sending a current over the line a to the magnets n to release the arms. The contacts for a station are arranged to occur more than once on the periphery of a selector, so as to enable the adjustment to be made quickly. In the form of selector shown in Fig. 4, the contact corresponding to i, s is closed at 16, 17 when the spring 17 reaches a notch in the disk u. The disk is coupled to the selector shaft through the arm v, and the number of a station may be changed by engaging the arm v with some other of the holes z in the disk u.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Mudguards for Motor Vehicles.
Inventor: MARKHAM HERBERT
IPC: B62D25/16
Filed: 1913-05-21
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 11,898. Markham, H. May 21. Mud-guards for motor-vehicles, other than those mounted upon the axle, are provided with means whereby they are caused to move upwards when the wheel rises above a predetermined point, such means being independent of contact of the wheel with the guard. A plate A, hinged to a vertical piece B below the platform and controlled by one or more springs C, is connected by a hinge-piece D or the like to the end of the guard, the other end of the guard being fixed to the chassis and hinged at E to the main portion of the guard. Upon a rising of the wheel relative to the body of the vehicle a small wheel F upon a spring-controlled rod G contacts with the ground and causes the necessary raising of the guard. In case the road wheel should bump at a different time from the wheel F, a small wheel H or the like is fixed on the underside of the guard to effect the raising of the guard with the road wheel.

Title: Improvements in the Hydrogenation of Unsaturated Fats or Oils.
Inventor: DEWAR JAMES
IPC: C11C3/12
Filed: 1914-06-30
Granted: 1915-09-23
Abstract: 15,668. Dewar, Sir J., and Liebmann, A. June 30. Catalytic agents, preparation of; hydrogenated fats and oils, catalytic production of.- The hydrogenation of unsaturated fats and oils is effected by hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst distributed over a mass of fibrous and coherent material or yarns or fabrics made therefrom, and arranged so that the fibres will not become separated from one another. With this arrangement, the tedious operation of filtration is avoided. The fibrous material may consist of cotton, hemp, flax, &c., jute, wool, silk, or similar natural organic fibrous materials, or even artificial silk, for instance viscose silk freed from sulphur. Sponge also may be used. Separation of the fibres is prevented by enclosing the masses between screens of gauze or other suitable material, or by securing with wires or threads; or if yarns or fabrics are used, these may be wound round or otherwise secured to the blades of an agitator or to fixed supports. If strongly adherent masses of fibrous materials, such as cotton, silk, or flax, or yarns or fabrics made therefrom, be used, the masses may be left free to move in the liquid, but the product of hydrogenation is not so satisfactory. If nickel, cobalt, or copper is used as the catalyst, the oxide or carbonate of the metal is distributed on the support, and the catalyst produced before or during the process of hydrogenation. In the latter case, it is advantageous to proceed according to the process described in Specification 12,982/13, in the case of the platinum group metals, the additions being effected by impregnating the materials with a platinum or like salt solution and then treating with a hot alkaline solution of formaldehyde. In examples, cotton or linen yarn, or bleached artificial silk yarn freed from sulphur, or asbestos cord is passed through a solution of nickel and copper carbonates, and after squeezing, treated with soda solution, and dried. The material is wound on a nickel-gauze cylinder or on the blades of the agitator, and placed in an autoclave with the oil. In another example, silk yarn on which nickel and copper carbonates were distributed as in the previous examples, is wound on the plates of an agitator, and washed, first with water, then with nickel acetate solution, and finally with water.

Inventor: JACKSON JAMES
IPC: B65G27/00
Filed: 1915-01-15
Abstract: 643. Jackson, J., Greenhalgh, S., and Robertson, A. Jan. 15. Jigging c o n v e y e r s.-A jigging conveyer is mounted close to the ground on balls free to roll in all directions on a track, the arrangement being such that the balls take side thrust in addition to downward thrust. The ball housings g, Figs. 3 to 5, are preferably mounted on each side of alternate trough sections a and consist of angleirons cut and bent down, as shown, to form end closures to the housings, which retain the balls and, in addition, keep the track clear of obstructions. The tracks, which may consist of plates e, carry angle-iron or other guides f, which limit the lateral motion of the balls and receive the transverse thrust. The angles g may extend out over the tops of the angles f and be bent down, thereby further assisting in excluding dirt. In an alternative form, to prevent the trough from buckling upwards at any point, a second set of balls is placed on the upper surface of the flanges g, these bearing on the underside of overhung flanges formed on the guides f. The flanges g may, as shown in Fig. 10, be replaced by guide-shoulders formed in the troughs, and in the case of wide troughs, central supporting-balls may also be used, as shown. The troughs may have unequal sides, as shown in Fig. 3, and the sections may be united to each other by bolts passing through eyes formed on straps attached to the ends of the troughs. Specification 10,283/15 is referred to.
