Title: Improvements in and relating to Machines for Building Heels for Boots and Shoes.
Inventor: ROSS ISAAC
IPC: A43D33/00
Filed: 1915-05-05
Abstract: 6740. Ross, I., Clarke, H., Pochin, F. H., and Pochin, H. S. May 5: Heels, machines for.-In a machine for building heels, a number of heel holding and collecting devices, each comprising flexible adjustable arms D and an adjustable breast-piece d carrying a collector in the form of a lug E, are mounted on arms c, radiating from a ratchet plate C, which is intermittently rotated on a table B so that the holders in turn pass beneath a number of stationary lift hoppers M carried by brackets m secured to a ring N. The collectors E, as they pass each hopper, collect a lift, so that a number of heels are being built simultaneously in each cycle of operations of the machine. The heel-holder containing its load of lifts passes between spring-pressed rollers 16, which impart lateral pressure, and the heel is consolidated by a plunger S actuated from a beam T and connexions t with a cam U on a shaft 3. While the heel is held under pressure, the lifts are nailed together, a number of nail dies p being carried by a table P which is rotated in timed relationship with the ratchet C ; this table is locked against rotation during nailing by a stem 10 on a bracket 9 secured to the rod t engaging one of a number of notches in the plate P. Preferably, the die-plate P, at each die location, also carries a number of top-lift or segment-lift holders, each comprising a pair of spring arms. After the heel has been nailed, it is engaged by an ejecting-lever 12 which forces the heel through its holder into a shoot.

Title: Process for Rendering Liquids Radio-active.
Inventor: SAUBERMANN SIEGMUND
IPC: A61K51/12
Filed: 1915-05-17
Granted: 1915-10-28
Abstract: 7385. Saubermann, S. May 18, 1914, [Convention date]. Radio-active substances.-When rendering liquids radio-active by direct contact with a radio-active substance, solution of this substance is prevented by dissolving in the liquid before treatment a substance adapted to effect this. Such substances are physically and chemically similar to the radio-active substances, thus, for radium sulphate a protective substance would be an alkaline earth metal sulphate, and for radium carbonate a protective substance would be strontium or calcium carbonate. Solution of the protective substance may take place previously to, or simultaneously with, the treatment with the radio-active substance, and in the latter case it is sufficient to surround the radio-active substance by a comparatively large quantity of the protective substance.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Railway Signalling Systems.
Inventor: MOORE HARRY WILLIAM
IPC: B61L3/12
Filed: 1915-06-11
Abstract: 8651. Moore, H. W., and Berry, R. G. June 11. Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains.-In apparatus on a train wherein a brake-valve actuator or a signalling-device is released from one restraint when a train contact passes any track ramp, and from a second restraint when the train contact is upon a ramp under danger conditions, so that the train is stopped or a signal actuated, the second restraint or both restraints may be controlled by electro-magnetic induction between apparatus on the train and on the track. Fig. 1 shows an apparatus in which the first restraint is controlled pneumatically as described in Specification 2550/14. The ramp 3 is divided longitudinally and forms a part of a transformer, of which the coil 7 forms the primary coil. This coil 7 is energized when the track is in a safety condition. Under such conditions, when the contact 2 is upon the ramp, soft-iron pillars 9 and a yoke 23 form part of the magnetic circuit, and current is induced in a coil 24 and energizes the electro-magnetic clutch 18 so as to hold the valve-opening gear out of action. Both restraints are controlled by induced currents in the apparatus shown in Fig. 3. The signalling or train-stopping circuit 46 may be closed bv the fall of an armature 41, which is normally held up by two electromagnets 40, 42. The magnet 40 is short-circuited at every ramp by means of electromagnetic induction between the track coil 29 and the train-carried coil 35, which energizes the relay 36 controlling the shunting-contacts 37. The magnet 42 is energized at all ramps in safety condition by the interaction of similar coils 30, 43.

Title: New or Improved Method of and Apparatus for Collecting and Compressing Natural Fermentation Gases.
Inventor: CHEW LEUIG
IPC: F04B39/00
Filed: 1915-09-01
Abstract: 12,573. Chew, L., and Jennings, W. F. Sept. 1. Carbon dioxide.-Fermentation gases collected from the vats are alternately drawn into, and compressed within, a cylinder by the exits and entrances of a body of water which is forced into the cylinder by a turbine or like pump put into and out of action by mechanism actuated by a float within the cylinder occupying nearly its whole cross-section. The pump draws its supply from a closed reservoir below the cylinder, which is connected to an air-outlet valve opened by the rising pressure of the fermentation gas, so that the water flows out more readily from the cylinder to the reservoir and the gas-inlet valve opens more readily as the amount of gas evolved accumulates. In the apparatus shown, the gas enters the cylinder by a pipe 6 and a check valve x, and leaves by a check valve z. Water is pumped in from the reservoir b by a pump e driven by an electromotor g. A float h, sliding on a rod within the cylinder, strikes a oollar q in its descent, and actuates a three-armed lever r, s, t, the arm t closing a switch in the motor circuit and thus starting the pump. When the float has risen to the top, it strikes an enlargement w on the rod, thereby tilting the lever r and breaking the contact. At starting, the cylinder is filled with water, air escaping by a cock 4. To prevent admission of air, the gas-inlet pipe 6 is connected by a branch pipe 8 with the underside of a diaphragm 10, Fig 2, within a casing 7, a pressure gauge 9 being also provided, and the diaphragm also supports a ported sleeve 13 surrounded by an annular space 15 in the casing 7. The upper side of the diaphragm is open to the atmosphere through a port 11, so that a rise of pressure brings more or fewer of the ports in the sleeve into communication with the annular space 15, which is open to the air space of the reservoir through a pipe 18 having at the top a balanced air-inlet valve. This, as the gas pressure rises, more or less air escapes through the pipe 18, sleeve 13, and port 11, and the water is allowed to fall in the cylinder freely; while, when the gas pressure falls, air is drawn through the valve 19 to the reservoir when the pump is started.

Filed: 1915-12-15
Abstract: 17,541. Tyrer, D. Dec. 15. Sulphuric acid.-Sulphuric acid containing nitric acid nitrous acids, such as spent nitrat. ing acid from the manufacture of nitro-explosives or nitrobenzene, is denitrated by treating it, in the presence of an oxidizing-agent, with a substance which will be nitrated under the conditions to give a nitro body which can be separated from the acid. Air or oxygen are suitable oxidizing-agents' and benzene or toluene suitable nitratable substances. For example, waste nitrating acid from the manufacture of trinitrotoluene is allowed to flow down a tower packed with broken pottery or coke and air and toluene vapour are blown in at the top of the tower; the mixture of denitrated acid, toluene, and nitrotoluene, flow off from the bottom of the tower to a separating- tank.

Title: Electronic measurement of the fuel flow volume in fuel injectors
Inventor: PANTAZIS VASILEIOU NIKOLAOS
IPC: F02M65/00
Filed: 2000-07-24
Abstract: t is presented herein the method with which we can accurately control the measurement of the fuel flow volume into an electromagnetic fuel injector (1), at a certain time and period (duration of injection) by laying emphasis on the sensing element (5) with the help of the following data: with the use of a sprayer (1), a volumetric tube or vessel (2), a drain pipe (3), a pressure sensor (5), and an electronically-activated drain valve (8).  Allowing for the  communicating vessels theory, we laystress on the sensitive pressure sensor. More specifically, if a pipe (7) is placed vertically, with one end dipped into a liquid and the other end opened, the level in the pipe will be exactly the same as the level in the tube (2).  Consequently, if the upper end of the pipe is closed off and some air volume is trapped, the pressure in the pipe will vary proportionally with the liquid level in the tube (2).  The pressure sensor (5) measures the pressure difference, which corresponds to the change in the volumetric tube level (2).
