Abstract: 375,555. Non-return valves. SCHOENE, K., 74, Adolphstrasse, Hamburg, Germany. June 27, 1931, No. 18668. [Class 335.] In an annular discharge valve for liquid pumps, thrust members engaging the valve member are guided in a diffusing guard ring overlying and limiting the upward motion of the valve member and are pressed by spring means external to the guard ring in a valveclosing direction. In a preferred form, a valve cage 6 comprising an outer annular portion 9, an inner annular portion 12, and a central hub 11 connected by webbing not shown in the Figures forms two annular discharge ports 7, 8 tapering upwards towards valve seatings formed by concentric annuli 13, 14- and a disc 15. Valves 17 rest on conical faces shown at 16. Three discharge nozzle-forming castings 18 are secured to the valve seat members 13, 14, 15 by screws not shown in the Figures and with guard rings 22, 23 form two flaring discharge passages 19, 21 for each valve. The sleeve 27 of a hub 28 engages the central casting 18. The hub 28, the castings 18, the seating surfaces 13, 14, 15 and the cage 6 are secured by a castellated nut 32 locked by a pin 33 on a central rod 24. Arms 34 extending radially from the hub 28 carry bosses 35, 36. Webs 37 connect the bosses 35 with the hub 28 and annular webs 38 which house springs 47, connect the bosses 35, 36. Studs 39 passing through these bosses support the guard rings 22, 23. Between the hub 28 which is castellated above the sleeve 27 and a correspondingly castellated filler piece 26 resting on thin washers 25, the inner ends of radially disposed leaf springs 29 alternating with the arms 34 are clamped and held by dowel pins 31. Arms 42 with hubs 43 extend radially inward and outward from a vertically reciprocable ring 41, concentric with the rod 24. Thrust members 44 secured in the hubs 43 and in thrust rings 45 seated in grooves in the valves 17 are guided in the guard rings 22, 23 and by the leaf springs 29, the ends of which rest on rockers 49 confined in spring seats 51 secured to the ring 41 at its junctions with the arms 42. The valves 17 are normally held in the closed position by the thrust from the springs 47 transmitted through spring seats 48 to the ring 41 and to the thrust members 44.

Convention date, June 30, 1933. [Class 120 (i)] In a mechanism for driving the revolving needle bars 7 of a gilling machine for fibrous materials, a differential gear is employed which in addition to imparting an orbital movement to the needle bars about a common central axis effects a rotary movement of the said needle bars about their own axes in a direction opposite to that of their orbital movement, the relative speed ratios of the two movements being such that the nedles are always maintained parallel with themselves throughout their orbital movement. The material M to be gilled is fed by a band 1 moved by rollers 2, 3, to oppositely rotating feed rollers 4, 5 and is carried thence to the field of operation of needles 6 set in bars 7. The bars move orbitally about the axis O of the system in such manner that the needles 6 remain constantly parallel. After gilling the material is removed by a discharge roller 8 and belt 9 moved by rollers 10. The bars 7 turn in bearings in the sun-wheels 11 which rotate about the axis 0. Each bar 7 carries at each end a pinion 12 meshing with a common pinion 13 rigid with a pinion 14 and loosely mounted on an axial shaft 19 fixed in side plates 15 of the machine.
