Filed: 1912-11-18
Granted: 1913-11-13
Abstract: 26,504. Lee, G. P. M., and Brame, W.A. Nov. 18. Incrustation, removing.-A surface to be cleaned forms one side of a movable cell through which liquid is passed under reduced pressure so that the cell is held in place by suction. Structures such as ship's sides, bridges, and tanks, incapable of treatment by immersion, can thus be dealt with, either in air or under water. The invention is shown as applied to an electroplating cell. The cell b, Fig. 1, of vulcanite or other material, may be made airtight by a rubber washer between it and the surface treated, and may be connected through flexible pipes and cocks to a tank d and a pump c. A partition b<1>, Fig. 5, may be arranged so as to force the liquid against the surface treated. Air may be extracted from the liquid by a second pump, situated at such an elevation as to be inaccessible to the liquid. A round column to be treated may be surrounded by a cell made in two parts. Instead of a pump, a steam or air jet may circulate the liquid. According to the Provisional Specification, the liquid in the tank may be under pressure; also the cell may be held mechanically, hydraulically, or magnetically.

Abstract: 29,726. Lawrence, J. P., [Zeyssolff, P.]. Dec. 24. Rotary apparatus.-A sprinkler for lawns &c. comprises a sprinkler-wheel driven by the impulse of a jet of water against lateral blades thereon, the boss of the wheel running on a track and revolving about a vertical axis. Fig. 1 shows the tubular support a to which the hose is attached carrying a bent tube f fixed to an arm g closed at the end. This arm has a fixed nozzle k and carries the boss i of a wheel h. The nozzle delivers water against blades and the wheel revolves upon the arm g and carries the same around the vertical axis of the track c. The blades j are made regularly of varying lengths j<1>, j<2>, j<3>, Fig. 5, to vary the speed at which the wheel is driven. The adjustment with relation to the jet may be made by means of distance-washers, or may be made automatically by causing a grooved boss i, Fig. 7, to run upon a wedged cam-track c, Figs. 6 and 7. The automatic control may be obtained also by the apparatus shown in Fig. 8, wherein weights q on arms p secured to the wheel cause the outward sliding movement of the wheel when the speed rises above a certain value. For mounting the apparatus upon inclined ground, one of the feet b is adjustably secured to the frame.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Service Connectors to Pipe Mains.
IPC: F16L41/08
Filed: 1913-03-04
Granted: 1913-11-27
Abstract: 5430. Slack, J. E., and British Mannesmann Tube Co. March 4. Branches and mains, connecting.-A nipple for connecting branch pipes to mains has a reduced bore of tapered form at the part that passes through and projects within the main, so that the nipple may be expanded in place by passing a mandrel therethrough to render the bore uniform. The mandrel is given a combined rotary and axial movement towards the interior of the main. The nipple may be threaded to screw into the main, or may be plain, the outer end having external threads for the connexion of a branch pipe in the usual way. Fig. 5 shows a nipple a having a branchpipe c secured thereto, screwed into a main. a mandrel b with a tapered head b<1> fitting the tapered part of the nipple in a fluid-tight manner having been previously secured therein by a nut c<1> on a threaded extension c. The mandrel is then rotated and advanced by a nut d screwing on to a sleeve m and embracing the non-circular head f<2> of a spindle f, a socket f<1> on the end of the spindle engaging and being pinned or otherwise secured to the non-circular head b<3> of the mandrel. A pin is passed through the head f<2> above the nut, to prevent the mandrel from falling into the main when expansion is completed, and to facilitate its withdrawal. The Specification also describes an arrangement in which the pieces e, f are omitted. In this case, the nut d engages the head b<3> and screws directly on to the nipple a. The nut d may be made in two parts, to facilitate application in any desired position. The tapered end b<1> of the mandrel may have parallel or inclined flutings. Fig. 4 shows a modification in which the lower end of the nipple a is plain, the upper end b<5> of the mandrel is threaded, and the nut d has right and left hand threads engaging the mandrel and nipple. With this construction, the mandrel receives an endlong movement as the nut is screwed down, until the shoulders b<2>, d<1> contact, after which the mandrel progresses with a combined rotary and endlong movement.
