Granted: 1911-03-09
Abstract: 10,085. Hawdon, F. G., [West, J.]. April 25. Envelopes, making.- In a machine for making envelopes of the kind shown in Fig. 30, a web of paper E, Fig. 6, passes between rollers 13, 14 and is scored at its side along a line 18, 19, Fig. 28, by knives carried by the upper roller. The pieces e are removed from the web by fingers 30, Fig. 2, which hold the pieces against the surface of a roller 29. The fingers are pivoted to the shaft of the roller 29 and are actuated by fixed cams 32<1>. The removal of these pieces leaves the side flaps e<2>, Fig. 28, of the envelope projecting from the web, and these flaps are creased by scoring - disks 43, Fig. 2, and then folded inwards by twisted blade folders 48. The disks 43 are attached to a roller 44 which has a rough surface so that it is driven by contact with the web. Lines of gum are applied to the turned-in side flaps by projections 50<a> on rotating disks 50 and the web passes round the driving - drum 58. The drum has a roughened surface, and the web is held against it by a soft belt 59. After leaving the drum, the web passes under a gumming - roll 64 which applies adhesive b, Fig. 28<A>, to the closing-flaps of the envelope, and then beneath a creasing- roller 78 which scores on the web the lines e<5> along the top flaps of the envelopes. The web next passes under a roller 87 which is provided with two creasing- blades 89, 90. The blade 89 creases the blank along the line e<4>, Fig. 28A, and as the paper passes under the roller a reciprocating dipper blade 93 strikes the blank along this line and forces it between pressing-rollers 88, 97 thus completing the folding of the envelope. At the same time, the blade 90 creases the blank along the line e<6> and tears it from the web, the separation taking place along the line e<5>. The completed envelopes are conveyed by feed cords between a pulley 106 and a belt 105, and they in turn deliver them upon an inclined plate 118 to be further dealt with by hand.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Gas Pressure Regulators.
IPC: G05D16/12
Filed: 1910-11-28
Granted: 1911-04-27
Abstract: 27,702. Compagnie pour la Fabrication des Compteurs et MatÚriel d'Usines a Gaz. Dec. 1, 1909, [Convention date]. Pressure-regulating valves.-Relates to a gaspressure regulator designed to maintain an outlet pressure which varies directly with the demand, so as to ensure a constant pressure being maintained at a selected point on the system controlled by the regulator (in the case of gas distribution, the centre of consumption), the said outlet pressure being independent of variations of the inlet pressure. The regulator comprises an adjustable throttle k in the inlet pipe h, and a double-bell arrangement a, b, secured together by braces c and having joint movements which they transmit to the valve d. The bell b is exposed at the top and bottom to the pressures below and above the throttle k through pipes g, i; the bell a is open at the top to the atmosphere through openings o, is loaded by shot m in conjunction with a float l, and is exposed underneath to the outlet pressure through a pipe j. If the rate of consumption increases, the pressure at the outlet falls, momentarily causing a drop of pressure within the bell a, which thereby falls and opens the valve wider. Simultaneously, the increased loss of head at the throttle k reduces the pressure under the outer bell b, which also tends to lower the valve. The valve falls until the outlet pressure, and consequently the pressure within the bell a, is sufficiently increased to balance the loss of buoyancy of the outer bell b due to the loss of head through the throttle k. The regnlator acts conversely in the event of a decrease of the consumption. The two bells may be arranged side by side, if desired.

Abstract: 4060. Jones, A. E. March 29, 1910, [Convention date]. Torpedoes, locomotive. - Relates to impact firing-devices of the kind described in Specification 29,569/10, which are armed by a screw propeller and are ignited by an inertia member, and consists in constructing the inertia member in the form of a cup a held by a spring k against the bottom d of a casing j. On impact, the cup moves away from the bottom d or pivots about some point along a bead b, thereby raising a sleeve o, tilting a lever 6, and releasing a piston x, which is impelled by a spring 4 to fire the charge. The cup a is held at safe ' by screws 8, which are geared to the wheel g by wheels 7 so that these screws are unscrewed simultaneously with the cocking of the striking-device h when the wheel g is rotated by the worm f on the shaft e that carries the arming-propeller. The casing j is secured to the base d by a bayonet-joint, the partial rotation necessary for attaching the casing serving to give an initial rotation to the gear-wheel g to remove any initial resistance, and thus to ensure the arming action of the propeller on the shaft e.

Abstract: 16,583. Harris, J. July 19. Roasting - furnaces. - In a mechanical oreroasting furnace, one or more chloridizing- hearths are provided below the roasting-hearths, and the roasted ore is extracted from the lower roasting-hearth, mixed with salt, and the mixture of ore and salt is then fed on to the upper chloridizing-hearth. A, B, C represent roasting- hearths and D, E the chloridizing-hearths. Ore is fed to the upper hearth at G, and is moved along by rabbles to the opening G<1>, through which it passes to the hearth B, and in a similar manner to the hearth C. The ore is extracted from the hearth C by a worm or conveyer J and carried to the base of a hopper K, where it is mixed with salt, the salt and ore being fed by the worm L to the upper chloridizing- hearth D. The ore is moved along the chloridizing - hearths in a similar manner to that employed in the roasting portion of the furnace, and is finally extracted at M. Owing to the increased amount of material to be dealt with on the chloridizing-hearths, the rabbles in this portion of the furnace are made of sufficient length to deal with a greater depth of material, or the depth of material may be decreased and the rate of travel increased by employing suitable rabbles. The gases given off during the roasting process pass from hearth to hearth by way of openings N and finally escape by the flue O. The gases given off during the chloridizing process may be separately collected and led off through an opening above the hearth D. To render all parts of the furnace readily accessible, tapered apertures filled by loose blocks P are provided. According to the Provisional Specification, the chloridizing - hearths may be provided with flues beneath in a similar manner to the lowermost hearth described in Specification 23,331/10.
