Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Distributing Tar and other Liquids.
Inventor: COLEMAN THOMAS
IPC: E01C19/17
Filed: 1910-04-27
Granted: 1911-03-23
Abstract: 10,325. Coleman, T. April 27. Sur f ace treatment with liquid materials. - Relates to tarring-apparatus of the kind in which hand-operated spraying-devices are connected to the tar boiler by a hose, which is counterbalanced to prevent its trailing on the road. According to the invention, the balance weight h<5> is prevented from swinging about by placing it in the vertical tubular support h<6> from which the hose carrier h<2> is suspended. The pulleys h<4>, over which passes the cord h<3> connecting the carrier to the weight, are carried by a bracket h' which is arranged to swivel about the vertical axis of the tube h<6>. The spraying-nozzles S are carried by downwardly-projecting branches from a horizontal pipe s<1> connected by a vertical pipe s<2> and a swivel joint s<3> to the hose H. The pipe s<1> is carried by a frame s', s<5> of inverted V-shape with a wheel s<6> at each end. The rod s<7> carrying the handle s<8> is connected to this frame so that as the spraying-device is pulled or pushed the handle can be lowered or raised to prevent the rear wheel s<6> from travelling over the tarred surface. To prevent the sprayed liquid from being blown about, a sheetmetal hood, from the edges of which is hung a tarpaulin or like curtain, may be secured to the frame s<4>, s<5>.

Abstract: 10,610. Irwin, G., and Johnson &. Co., S. H. April 29. Filter-presses. - The plates of filter-presses are formed hollow and have ducts, which, when the plates are placed in position, provide continuous conduits for the supply of heated fluid to the interior of the plates and for placing the cakes under vacuum so that they may be dried in the press. With the form of plate shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the material is supplied to the several compartments of the press through central apertures A. Liquid filters through cloths supported on both of the recessed sides of the frames, and is discharged through cocks C. Steam or other heating-fluid is supplied to chambers E<2> in the plates through a conduit E. A similar conduit D, with branches to both sides of each plate, admits air to allow of the draining of the cakes while the cocks C are open, and is connected to a vacuum for the withdrawal of vapour when the plates are heated. A modified arrangement is shown in Fig. 8. Spacing-frames G are placed between each pair of filter-plates. There are two vacuum conduits H, J connected to alternate plates at opposite sides. A washing-fluid may be passed through the cakes from one of these conduits to the other. The material to be treated is supplied to the press through a conduit formed by apertures in a corner of each frame with branches in each spacing-frame.

Abstract: 7067. Tousey, S. March 21. R÷ntgen-ray apparatus. - Relates to X - ray tubes which are constructed with a view to utilizing the rays from the anti-cathode while diminishing the secondary rays which arise from the walls of the tube. In one construction the section a, b, Fig. 1, of the tube which is in the path of the rays from the anti-cathode is made of aluminium. The rest of the tube is made of a material such as lead glass, which gives rise to very few secondary rays, and which absorbs most of the X-rays. In another construction the tube is fitted with a screen S, Fig. 3, and diaphragm screens D, D' of material, such as aluminium, which will freely transmit the direct rays radiating from the focus point, but which gives rise to a greatly reduced amount of secondary radiation. The screens S, Fig. 4, may be fitted round the cathode, leaving only the opening 6 for the cathode stream.

Granted: 1911-12-30
Abstract: 8869. Colman, H. D. April 16, 1910, [Convention date]. [Addition to 15,964/10.] Warp threads, uniting.-Two or more warpsupporting frames 1, Fig. 1, each as described in the parent Specification, are used in conjunction with a warp-tying machine 4, which is moved on rails 7 in front of the frames 1 first into position to co-operate with one frame and then into position to co-operate with the other. While the machine 4 is receiving and uniting successive sections of the warps from one frame, the warps on an adjoining frame may be prepared for subsequent uniting, so that the warptying machine may be kept in substantially continuous operation. To facilitate the insertion &c. of the warps in the clamps of the warptying machine, the upper warp carriage 11 is made removable and means are provided for raising it from and suspending it above the machine 4. The pulley 42 on the operating-shaft of the traversing carriage. 10 provided with the tying-mechanism is driven by a belt 32, which is guided by rollers 41 on the machine 4, rollers 40 on an upright 39 on the machine 4, a grooved pulley 35 on a slack taking-up carrier 33 and idle rollers 31 on brackets 23, 25 on a bar 15. This belt drive allows the movement of the warp-tying carriage on the bed 9 of the machine 4 and also allows for movement of the machine 4 on the rails 7, any slack in the belt being taken up by the carrier 33, which has rollers so that it may run on a track 19 and is acted upon by a weighted connexion 37 extending over a guide-sheave 38 at the upper end of a tubular post 20. The belt is driven by a pulley 30 on a shaft carrying another pulley driven by a band 29. Overhead framing attached to the warp frames 1 supports the guide-tracks 19 and the guide-track 21 referred to below. The warp carriage 11 is provided with rods 11<A>, Figs. 1 and 9, engaged by straps or loops 50 on brackets 48 united by a cross-rod 49 and provided with rods fitting within the tubular ends of rods 45 on a carrier 44, which is provided with wheels to run on the track 21. A cross-bar 46 is fixed to the rods 45 and carries a shaft 51 connected by crank-arms 52 and links 53 to the rod 49. By turning the shaft 51 by means of a handle 54, the straps can be raised to lift the warp carriage off the machine or can be lowered to lower the warp carriage and free the rods 11<a>, the crank-arms turning slightly beyond dead-centre and the handle 54 contacting with a stop, so that a spring 55 may lock the parts in position. The pulley 42 is connected to its shaft preferably by a clutch, which is operated to disconnect the pulley from its shaft when the work has been completed or in case the thread-selecting mechanism stumbles as described in Specification 10,484/05.

Filed: 1911-12-06
Granted: 1912-12-05
Abstract: 27,398. Edwin, F., and Smallpage, E. J. Dec. 6. Spray carburettors.-In carburettors wherein the top of the float chamber is connected to the suction passage, the amount of suction in the connecting-pipe is automatically controlled by the suction of the engine. The float chamber B supplies the fuel nozzle B<2> surrounded by a choke-tube B<3> perforated at B<4>. Air enters at A<5> and the mixture leaves at A<4>. The top of the float chamber communicates by a passage B<6> with a space B<5>, which is connected by a pipe C<7> to a nozzle C. This nozzle is surrounded by a conical hood E<2> connected to an auxiliary air-valve E, an extension E<4> of which works over a plug E<5> to form a dash-pot. The interior of the tube E<2> communicates with the suction space A<2>, through an orifice E<3>. The result is that at low speeds the suction in the top of the float chamber is intense, whilst at higher speeds when the valve E opens and the nozzle C is surrounded by a larger part of the tube E<2> the suction on the fuel is diminished. Fuel is filtered at D<2>.
