Patent GB-191006436-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in "Heilmann" and like Combing Machines.
Inventor: ROBERTS JOHN THOMAS
IPC: D01G31/00
Filed: 1910-03-15
Granted: 1911-03-15
Abstract: 6436. Roberts, J. T. March 15. Guards, controlling. - I n a combing - machine of the Heilmann or similar type, the cover for the cylinder, brush, and doffer is so mounted as to be locked in position while the belt is on the fast pulley, and removal of the cover causes the belt to be locked on the loose pulley. The guard b, Fig. 1, has one or more wings b<1> resting in suitable slotted bearings, and locked therein when the machine is at work by levers f connected as shown with a sliding bar n, which interlocks with the starting-rod o'. To release the guard, the starting-rod must first be moved to the ' stop ' position, whereby the lever f is freed. This is then moved clear of the guard, as shown in Fig. 5, the bar n being moved simultaneously to lock the starting-rod, and the guard may be taken out. Immediately this is done, a pivoted catch g<3> resting on the guard is pressed by a spring h into such a position as to lock the lever f in the position to which it was moved to clear the guard, and thus to lock the belt on the loose pulley.

Title: A Method of Sinking Shafts in Loose and Watery Strata.
Inventor: BOUSFIELD JOHN EBENEZER
IPC: E02D5/52
Filed: 1910-05-24
Granted: 1911-06-26
Abstract: 12,660. Bousfield, J. E., [Hiltruper Terrazzo-und Cementwaaren - Werke Akt. - Ges.]. May 24. Shafts.-In sinking shafts of the kind which are lined from the top downwards, in loose and watery strata, the sides of the shaft being supported by a sinking cylinder in advance of, and surrounding, the lowermost section of the lining, the cylinder is sunk entirely by its own weight; a porous elastic packing-ring between the lining and the cylinder prevents the passage of earth, whilst allowing the passage of water. The cylinder a is packed with blocks n of wood or, when necessary, of lead. The cylinder is first sunk sufficiently to allow a suspension ring to be secured at the top of the shaft, and a suspension lining f, each section of which is suspended from the one above, is introduced. When the cylinder has sunk to the lowermost lining-ring, the space between the lining and the earth is filled with cement &c. To give the lining a better hold, undercuts s are made in the wall of the shaft. The packing-ring t is of linen filled with moss, chaff, or turf. The lining may be of concrete or iron tubbing.

Title: Improvements in Means for the Cutting of Heel Lifts.
Inventor: FOWLER PERCY
IPC: C14B5/00
Filed: 1910-07-15
Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 16,881. Fowler, P. July 15. Cutting - out apparatus. - A machine for cutting heel-lifts has a cutter which operates from the underside of the material, means for intermittently rotating the feed-rolls and the cutter block, and means for cutting the bars of the material remaining between adjacent lift spaces. The cutter head 4, Figs. 1 and 3, and upwardly-cutting knife 1 are reciprocated in a standard 7 by cams 11, 13, the lifts falling clear through the opening 8 to the delivery shoot 10. The stem 17 of the cutter-block 18<a> passes through a support 18. which is screwed into the framing 19 and is locked by a nut 1<a>. A friction roller 20, driven from a pulley 21. on the upper feed-roll shaft 22, turns the block 18<a> slightly at each stroke. Alternatively, a worm drive may be used to rotate the block. The upper feed-roll 23 is turned intermittently by means of a cam 28, linkage 30, 31, 33, and a pawl 26 of adjustable throw. The material rests on the lower roll 35 and supports 46, 44 45, and is guided by a bar 47, which slides towards and from the cutter under the action of a lever 48 and an adjustable cam 49 on the head 4. The lower feed-roll is carried by a slide 36, and is pressed on to the material by a spring 37a when the machine is working, but is lowered automatically when the machine stops by a cam 38, lever 39, and rack 37, which engages a pawl 40 mounted on the slide 36. While the machine works, the pawl is disengaged by a rod 42, which is coupled to the starting-treadle. To ensure that the machine shall stop with the cutter at the bottom of its stroke, a timing-cam 57, Figs. 3 and 4, is used, which, at the stopping position, allows a rod 56 to descend and apply the brakes 58, as shown. When the treadle is depressed to start the machine, the brakes are pressed off, and a friction clutch is caused to take up the drive. The breast part of the knife 1, Fig. 2, has an extension 2 for cutting the bars of the material left between the adjacent lift spaces; and an edge may also project from the curved part of the cutter for cutting the strip at the edge of the material. The Provisional Specification also states that the feeding-rolls may be replaced by a reciprocating clip with means for opening and. closing it.

Abstract: 20,287. Bowden, F., [trading as Raleigh Cycle Co.], and Williamson, J. Aug. 31. Frame construction. - A parcel - carrier attachment for cycles may be fitted with a single wheel in the position of the rear wheel C of the bicycle, and then used as an ordinary hand - cart. The horizontal framing or side carriage A can be attached on its inner side to the rear-wheel axle and the fore part of the bicycle, a box, hamper, or the like P being mounted upon it on springs between the bicycle and a supplementary road wheel F. As shown in Fig. 2, the rear member B of the horizontal framing is connected to a supplementary fork G about the bicycle rear wheel C, cross-stays L, L' being provided to support the framing. The connexion at the front end is effected by an adjustable arm H and a clamp W engaging a member of the cycle frame. A stay N may connect the top of the fork G to the seat-pillar socket, and an horizontal frame O may enclose the side wheel and be connected forwardly to the frame A. In a modification, the horizontal frame consists of a main axletree or transverse member, a member parallel to the bicycle, and a diagonal stay; the forks G, E are not used, but the transverse member is connected to the top of the seat pillar socket by a telescopic strut. According to the Provisional Specification, (1) the front end of the frame may be connected to the steering socket of the bicycle; (2) in addition to using the stays L, L<1>, a detachable stay may extend from the main axle-tree to the top of the seat pillar.

Abstract: 21,242. Lake, W. E. Sept. 12 Regulating delivery by varying speed of motor. - In a regulator for controlling the supply of water to a steam boiler of the kind in which the movement of the valve is effected by the expansion or contraction of a hollow diaphragm connected with a closed tube when the water column is at varying levels, the tube 18 is surrounded by a casing 20 carrying a tube 21 extending downwardly to a predetermined distance into the water column 22 of the boiler. The hollow diaphragms 16 are connected by a rod 14 with the valve 10. When the water supply falls below the level of a tube 21, steam is admitted through a passage 23 and fills the tube 21. The liquid in the tube 18 then expands and opens the valve 10, admitting steam to the pump or water to the boiler.

Abstract: 13,260. Spence, H., Craig, T. J. I., and Spence & Sons, P. June 2. Titanous chloride, sulphate, and other salts; ammonia and alkali alums.-Titanous salts are prepared by dissolving aluminium in solutions of titanic salts such as the sulphate or chloride.

The solutions are more stable than those obtained by dissolving titanous oxide in acids. The aluminium salts present may replace wholly or in part the excess of acid which is necessary to obtain stability. In the case of the sulphate, the presence of the aluminium sulphate allows of obtaining the product in a solid form by concentrating until on cooling the solution solidifies.
