Granted: 1909-05-20
Abstract: 2307. Angenot, C. Jan. 30. Sock-suspenders. -An appliance for keeping socks smoothly extended in wear consists of a curved strip 1 fitting to the leg, and, fixed to the strip 1, a resilient strip 2, which is curved and bent outwardly. at its lower end, as shown in Fig. 2. The whole, or a portion only, of the upper edge of the strip 1 is serrated or covered with india-rubber &c., to grip the top of the sock, and the lower end of the strip 2 is similarly adapted to engage and hold the sock at, or in proximity to, a point where it is covered by the boot &c., as shown in Fig. 4. The upper end of the strip 2 may extend beyond the strip 1, and may be serrated &c. Two or more of the appliances may be employed on each leg, and the strip 2 may be replaced by several strips connected together at their lower parts. The strip 1 may be dispensed with, the serrations of the strip 2 only being used for retaining the sock ; or several such strips, pivoted or otherwise connected together, for example, in X, H, or Y form, may be employed.

Title: Improvements relating to the Suspension of Certain Parts of Spring Borne or similarly Deflecting Vehicles.
IPC: B61H7/08
Filed: 1909-03-20
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 6690. Mountain & Gibson, and Paterson, R. S. March 20. Supporting - arrangements f o r c o l l e c t o r s. - Collector ploughs of electric tramcars, or other spring-borne vehicles, are supported from the vehicle so as to be maintained at a constant level when the vehicle is passing over inequalities in the track, such as rail joints. The collector i is suspended from one end of a lever f, which is pivoted at g to the undercarriage a, and is connected at its other end to the vehicle spring c, or to a lug or link h formed at the top of the rod e, which forms a' part of the underframe d of the body and is connected to the spring c. When the wheel sinks momentarily at a rail joint, the pivot g falls an equal amount, while the inner end of the lever f moves downwards to a greater extent owing to the compression of the spring c, thereby raising the collector i to maintain it at a constant level. The arms of the lever f are proportioned to give the required movement of the collector. There may be two or more levers on the same fulcrum, and the bracket carrying the fulcrum may be adjustable. In the case of radial axle-trucks, the lever f is arranged to maintain the collector in the correct position over the track.

Abstract: 6745. BlÚriot, L. March 30, 1908, [Convention date]. Plate apparatus.-Relates to means for cooling the circulating water or other liquid for the engines of aeroplanes, dirigible balloons, &c. It consists in using, as cooling-surfaces, the usual supporting-surfaces of the apparatus or additional surfaces which contribute to the support of the apparatus. Fig. 1 shows a form of apparatus for use with the usual supporting-surfaces. A number of capsules or caps a, connected together by pipes d and flexible unions d<1>, are secured to a sheet c of flexible material, such as aluminium. The sheet c is then used for lining the supporting-surfaces of the aeroplane &c. In the form of apparatus shown in Fig. 5, the cups a are replaced by elongated passages a<1> arranged in pairs and attached to substantially thick sheets c<1>, which form additional supporting-surfaces. The sheets c<1> are connected, either fixedly or movably, to two tanks e<2>, e<4> forming inlet and outlet chambers. In a modification, a second pair of tanks may be provided at the other ends of the sheets c<1>. Such an arrangement may be disposed in the vertical axis of the aeroplane. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), states also that the apparatus may be used for cooling the "circulation water of steam engines ".

Abstract: 7213. Colborne, T., and Bielefelder Maschinen-Fabrik Akt.-Ges., vorm. D³rkopp & Co. March 25. Sewing-machines; needles, vibrating.-A mechanism for vibrating laterally the needle-bar of a sewing-machine comprises an adjustable rod D connecting the needle-bar frame with a pivoted lever C, situated beyond the usual cam-oscillated quadrant F, by which it is rocked through a link E. The end of the link is shifted in the quadrant to vary the amplitude of the vibration by a link G and a lever H. The pivot-shaft of the lever C is hollow, and passes through the frame A, and the shaft of the lever H passes through it. The other end of this latter shaft is provided with a knee or foot operated lever J, or the lever H may be extended to form a hand-lever. The field of the vibration is made variable by mounting the pivot f of the quadrant V eccentrically in a block K. The block may be rotated in a bearing in the frame A by a lever k, spring-pressed plungers n being provided to lock it in position. A washer l prevents lateral displacement.

Filed: 1909-08-04
Granted: 1910-04-14
Abstract: 18,015. Angell, E. C. Aug. 4. Reel and web apparatus. - An advertising- band 1 for displaying a series of advertisements has means for connecting it to the driving- mechanism for a given period, and means, operated by the band, for disconnecting the driving-mechanism intermittently. The band has laterally projecting cleats 55 between each pair of advertisements, and in travelling, strikes with a cleat an arm 57 of a lever connected by a rod and second lever 26 to a sleeve 23 sliding upon a shaft 13, which may be connected to a continuously-driven shaft 19 through clutches 20, 23. The cleat throws these clutches out of gear and stops an advertisement in the display position. A lever 25, also connected to the sleeve 23, then acts upon a pin 54 and causes a ratchet tooth on a rod 41 to engage a crownwheel 36, which is provided with ratchet teeth, extending around one-half of each face, as shown. This wheel moves the rod 41 back, throwing the shaft 13 into gear with the shaft 19, and re-starting the mechanism. When the teeth on one side of the crown-wheel, and their corresponding advertisements on the band 1, have been exhausted, the teeth on the other side come into play, together with mechanism identical with that already described, whereby the advertisements are displayed step by step in the reverse order to the first. The motor drives a train of wheels 30, 31, 32, 33, 34 and a shaft 35 bearing a sprocket-wheel 35<a>, which drives a shaft 19 continuously through a chain 53. The gear-wheel 34 drives a train of wheels 43, 45, 46 and bevel-gearing 47, 48. The bevelwheel 48 drives a worm shaft 49 and a wormwheel 50, to the shaft of which the crown-wheel 36 is rigidly connected.

IPC: B03D1/08
Filed: 1910-07-25
Granted: 1911-07-25
Abstract: 17,602. Du Pont, F. I. July 25. Wet separating. - A process for recovering separating-liquid carried off by solids which have been separated by means of a liquid, for example antimony or tin bromide, consists in immersing the solids in a washing-liquid of lower boiling-point than the separating-liquid, and in which the separating-liquid is soluble, for example alcohol, and then volatilizing the washing-liquid. In the apparatus shown, the solid is introduced at a to a closed vessel b containing a conveyer d and washing-liquid g divided into sections by partitions c. Heaters h are placed under the sections, and each section communicates by a pipe l with a condenser m, which is also connected by a pipe with the next section. A circulation of the washing-liquid from right to left is thereby obtained in opposition to the motion of the solids. The solution of the separating-liquid collects at the left and passes to a vessel 6 having a heater 7, the washing-liquid being evaporated and returned through a condenser 9 to the vessel h, while the separating- liquid is returned by a pump 12 to the separating-vessel. The solids pass up an inclined extension i having a heater 19, washing-liquid thereby evaporated being returned through a condenser 2, while the solids pass through a shoot o to a vessel p containing water or other liquid of higher boiling-point than the washing- liquid, and provided with a heater q. Washing-liquid is vaporized, and passes through a rectifier s, analyzer v, and condenser y, and is returned to the vessel b. The solid is finally discharged at 18.
