Abstract: 24,967. Collier, H. H. Dec. 1. Supports for motor and other cycles and the like. A support comprising a stem or leg e is so arranged that it may be used to hold a machine in a lifted or in a leaning position, or it may be turned up into a position out of use. Provided with a rhomboidal slot f<1>, the stem is mounted upon a pin d between the two cheeks c of a plate a clamped to the cycle frame. As shown in full lines, the stem is arranged to support the machine in a leaning position, but, by turning the leg downwards, the pin being in the particular angle of the slot shown, the leg may be made to assume a vertical position and to support the wheel clear of the ground. To raise the leg into its out-of-use position, the leg is turned outwards and its inner end dropped to the extent necessary to bring the angle g into contact with the pin. The leg may then be turned up to a vertical position. A spring or springs h assist to keep the leg in its various positions.

Abstract: 26,459. Richter, A. Dec. 28, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Dusting - appliances. - Relates to apparatus in which air is forced into and exhausted from the interiors of carpets, stuffed pieces of furniture, &c., in order to clean them thoroughly. In the apparatus shown, air is forced through the pipe e, the india-rubber pipe d, and the distributor a, and emerges through needle-shaped outlet pipes b. These pipes are forced down into the material to be cleaned by a band-wheel turning a screw and thus moving the distributor a, which moves between vertical ribs h and is thus prevented from rotation. The dirt-laden air spreads out and is drawn into the annular chamber i surrounding the distributor and connected with an exhaust pump by a pipe j j passing through a filter. The pipes e, j are provided with regulating-cocks. The air may in some cases be passed through in jerks by the action of the compressed-air pump or of the cock on the pipe e.

Granted: 1907-10-31
Abstract: 8124. Reitler, E. April 8. Slow combustion stoves; air supply. -A stove consisting of a fuel magazine and an adjacent vertical flue or combustion chamber separated from it by an aircooled partition, is fitted with means for supplying air at the upper and lower ends of the magazine, and for conducting to the ash-pit the gases distilled in the magazine. The stove shown in Fig. 1 consists of a lower part containing the grates 8, 9 and the ash-pit 10, an intermediate part 32 containing the fire-bridge 30, and an upper part containing the magazine 4, the vertical flue or combustion chamber 18, and the air-cooled partition 19 ; the whole is surmounted by a flue with an observation passage 10, and is enclosed in a casing. At the sides of the ash-pit are passages 1, 11, Fig. 5, fitted with valves and caps. The passage 11 conveys air to the inlet 15, Fig. 1, above the grates 8, 9, and the passage 1 conveys air through the vertical passage 3 to the upper end of the fuel magazine 4. The air mixes with the gases distilled from the coal in the fuel chamber 4, and passes with them down the passage 7 to the ash-pit 10. The upper end of the passage 7 is fitted with a valve 38, which is closed when the fire is being lighted. The air passage in the partition 19 is divided by a central vertical partition, thus forming two chambers which the air enters at their lower ends, and leaves by apertures 28 in the walls of the space between the roof 27 of the fuel chamber and the lower end 26 of the eduction flue. A slotted or other partition 36 is fitted in the ash-pit. In a modification, the passages 3, 7 are connected by a passage, which extends over the fuel chamber, and is fitted with a valve which admits to the passage 7 the gases from the fuel chamber.
