Filed: 1907-11-14
Granted: 1908-07-02
Abstract: 25,284. Davies, T. M., and Stepney Spare Motor Wheel, Ltd. Nov. 14. Felloes or rims; with two rims or tyres side by side.-Wheels are adapted to carry auxiliary or spare wheels of the "Stepney" type by the provision of an extra flange secured to the rim or felloe for the purpose of engaging with the clips on the spare wheel. Continuous flanges c of various forms, Figs. 4 and 5, are bolted to the felloes of an ordinary wheel and engage with the clips e<1> on the spare wheel. As shown in Fig. 13, a metal rim a is carried by metal spokes, the extra flange c being secured by a cylindrical extension c<3> bolted to the rim a. Filling-pieces b<2>, Fig 14, are used to form a seating for the extra flange when the felloe has non-parallel sides. In Fig. 15, the extra flange c is shown brazed or welded to the rim. The flange c may be sectional and in the form of a series of hooks or loops, the clips on the spare wheel being also in the form of loops or hooks.

Granted: 1909-02-18
Abstract: 6326. Whitaker, J. S. March 21. Excavating.-In a steam - crane excavator, the forward end of the bucket arm has an open mouthpiece provided with digging-teeth, from which an endless belt removes excavated material, and conveys it to a shoot arranged to tip on the downward travel of the arm and deliver the material to a receiver, which transfers it to the rear of the crane truck. In the form shown, the bucket arm 1 has, in lieu of.the ordinary bucket, an open mouthpiece 2 provided with digging - teeth 3. Material excavated is removed by an endless belt 12 carried by a roller 5 supported by the bucket arm, and by a roller 11 supported by arms 9 pivoted on a shaft 8 mounted on the crane jib 7, the two rollers being stayed apart by an intermediate frame 13. The shaft 8 is driven from the winding-engine 14 or otherwise, and drives the upper roller 11 by chain or other gearing. The arms 9 also carry a shoot 16 which, on the downward travel of the bucket arm 1, delivers the excavated material to an annular trough 17, mounted on rollers and driven from the engine 14. A travelling belt 21 conveys material from the trough 17 to the rear of the crane truck. In a modification, the moving trough 17 is omitted, and the belt 21 receives the material direct from the shoot 16.

Title: Improvements in Arrangements for Softening, Purifying and Heating Water.
Filed: 1908-11-18
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 24,821. Stevens, F. J. Warden-, Cooper, E. E., and Lawrence Patent Water Softener and Sterilizer Co. Nov. 18. [Patent of Addition to No. 10,526, A.D. 1908.] Heating water.-The deposition of scale is prevented in the boiler and pipes of a hotw a t e r circulating- system by causing water from the boiler to heat the water drawn off for use in its passage through a tank placed in the usual circulating-cylinder. Hot water from the boiler enters at C and after heating the inner corrugated cylinder D passes back to the boiler through the opening E. The unsoftened water enters at G anu while passing up between the baffles K, L is heated and deposits its sediment and is drawn off at F. The preferred forms of baffles, which are easily removable, are shown in Fig. 2. The large plates have central orifices and finned edges and alternate with small unperforated plates, thus compelling the water to take a circuitous course through the cylinder which is open at the top. The exit pipe F extends some distance down into the inner cylinder and forms a trap in which the gases from the heated water collect. Any reduction in the water-level in the outer cylinder allows the gas seal to expand and water to overflow from the inner to the outer cylinder until the pressure of the seal is restored, whereupon the waters in the two cylinders are left separate.

Granted: 1909-08-12
Abstract: 3768. Conrad, F. Feb. 24, 1908, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Anemometers. - The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises means for measuring the quantity of fluid flowing through a pipe. The pipe is provided with a constricted portion which is connected to one arm of a U-tube containing water, mercury, or other suitable liquid. The other arm of the U-tube is connected by a branched tube to both portions of the pipe adjacent to the constricted portion. The Specification states that the difference between the pressure of the fluid at the constricted portion of the pipe and the mean pressure at the adjacent portions of the pipe, is proportional to the square of the quantity of fluid passing through the pipe. Any other suitable pressure-measuring apparatus may be used instead of the U-tube. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 20,939. Knecht, J. J. Sept. 13. Lace machines.-Relates to the carriage-driving mechanism of bobbin-net machines of the roller-locker type. Gear members are inserted in the actuating crank mechanism whereby a dwell is obtained when the carriages are in the central position, as in double-locker machines. In one form, the rod 18 driving the annular wheel 3 is attached to a pinion 15 gearing with a fixed annular wheel 10 and pivoted on the actuating-crank 13. The sizes of the wheels 10, 15 are as 4:1. The pivot describes the looped path shown in Fig. 3, causing a dwell at the mid-points d<2>, d<4>. In another form, the upper end of the rod 18 carries a pinion which runs over a fixed sector and gives interrupted movement to a slotted crank-arm on the shaft 2 of the wheel 3. In a third form, a rack member 58 connected to the wheel 3 is driven by a pin-wheel 54. At the end of the traverse, the rack is turned through 180 degrees, and is then driven by the pin-wheel in the opposite direction. The turning movement is effected by gearing 63, 62 acting on a slotted rod passing through the feathered pinion 62 and reciprocated with lost motion by a cross-head 68, link 70, and crank 71.

Abstract: 5363. Rodda, H. W. March 3. Washing-machines with enclosed rotary receptacles.- Washing and rinsing apparatus for plates, cups and saucers, tableware, linen, &c., comprises a container which is secured in an open frame and is given a combined rotary motion and motion of translation through liquid contained in an outer casing. The three-armed open frame G, G<1>, G<2> is mounted on short shafts E carried by a pair of standards D<1>, which are rotated by a hand crank or wheel about trunnions D and are balanced by a weight D<2>. Two arms G', G<2> are rigidly connected to each other but are loose on the shafts E, while the other arm G is secured to these shafts. Normally the three arms are kept at equal angular distances apart by a spring catch H, J. A pinion E<1> fast on one of the shafts E has a planetary movement around a fixed rack wheel F. The container for the articles to be washed is of cylindrical shape and during washing is held between the arms G, G', G<2>. To eject the container, the standards D are rotated forwards until the link H is engaged by a spring pawl K, which, upon a backward rotation being given, acts on the link H and releases it from the catch J. As the backward movement proceeds, the arm G separates from the arm G' and allows the container to fall on to a plate D<3> on the balance weight D<2>, which lifts the container over the edge of a plate A<4> and deposits it on a rinsing- platform B, previously lifted by the opening of the sliding semicircular cover A'. By the time the container has been ejected, the arms G, G<1> have reached a position to receive between them another container from the charging-platform A<5>. The standards D are now rotated in a forward direction, and the fixed arm G approaches and locks itself to the loose arms G', G<2>. Vanes N on the arms G serve to guide the container into correct position. Several frames for receiving the containers may be fitted to the standards D'. Suitable pipes for supplying and discharging the washing-liquid are provided, and a heating-device M may be placed beneath the apparatus. The rinsing- platforms B, when raised by the manipulation of the cover A<1>, discharge the container on to a removable inclined shoot.
