Abstract: 23,601. Thornton, H., and Heaton, A. Oct. 24. Loom pattern-chains.-Metallic pattern lags a, Fig. 2, are provided with beaded edges b, each edge forming an almost complete tube. The lags may be connected by similarly-beaded metal strips c, which are passed endways into the beaded edges b and are held in position by U-shaped springs, of which the outer ends engage in slits formed in the edges b. The beaded edges f, g, Fig. 4, of each lag may be formed in opposite directions, so that the lags may be connected by passing one edge into the other, and their disconnexion may be prevented by turning over the material of the lag at each end. The pegs consist of two portions i, Figs. 2 and 5, provided at their base ends with grooves k and projections l, m to engage the sides of rectangular holes in the lags. A spring n holds the two parts together, and a short piece of wire q acts as a fulcrum for the portions i and holds them apart. The spring and the wire engage grooves in the portions i. Instead of the wire q, a projection formed on one of the portions i may engage a groove formed in the other portion.

Title: Improvements in Washing and Centrifugal Wringing Machines.
Inventor: GAVAZZI ALBERTO
Filed: 1907-05-17
Granted: 1907-11-21
Abstract: 11,563. Gavazzi, A. May 17. Washing-machines.-In apparatus of the kind wherein an open-work vessel containing the clothes rotates in an outer receptacle, this receptacle is made to oscillate, and in its movements takes up liquid and delivers it to the clothes vessel and discharges it therefrom alternately. The clothes receptacle is afterwards rotated at a high speed to wring the clothes. The trunnions e of the inner vessel a, the periphery of which is formed of round bars, bear in standards s on a rotatable platform p. This vessel is driven by the engagement of a toothed wheel d<1> on one of its trunnions with a wheel d on a shaft x driven by a hand-wheel v. The outer receptacle c has a cylindrical part on the circumference of which are toothed segments m driven by wheels m<1> on the shaft x. The other end of the box c is formed with a scoop o having a valve, and with a branch cut off by a metal sheet i and having an outlet k. When the hand-wheel is turned in one direction, the scoop o dips into one of two tanks u, u<1>, respectively containing lye and water, and is filled through the open valve. The motion being reversed, the scoop rises and discharges its contents on the inner cylinder, and the dirty liquid escapes on the next reversal through the opening k into a compartment of the tank cut off by a low separating wall t, over which impurities from the main compartment may flow. After the washing and rinsing are completed, the wheels m, m<1> are separated in any way, and the clothes cylinder is rotated at a high speed to wring the clothes. The ejected liquid escapes through a tap z in the box c. The box has a door q, and its scoop is balanced by weights l. A ratchet wheel and pawl r prevent the inner cylinder from being rotated by its door when opened. Normally, the pawl r is placed by the operator out of engagement with the ratchet. The inner cylinder may be divided by metal partitions.

Abstract: 27,407. Tourtel, J. M. Dec. 11. Locks, key; keys; keyholes. - In locks of the type in which a flat key is adapted to be inserted into a revolving barrel which is carried round by the key during the operation of the bolt, the slots b in the barrel for the reception of the key are made at different angles, as shown in Figs. 3 or 5, the key being correspondingly bent. The slot in the casing for the key bit may be at a different angle,to those in the barrel. The barrel a is provided with the pivot pin c for the back k, Fig. 10, of the casing, the diameter of the pin being substantially equal to the thickness of the bridge-portion d of the barrel, so that the ends of the key bit do not project through the back of the casing. A number of the barrels may be made from a bar of metal of the right diameter by cutting slots at the desired angles longitudinally in the bar, and then forming the ends of the barrels by a turning-tool, after which the barrels may be cut off.

Abstract: 9500. Roux, F. A. May 14, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Lithographic stone substitutes.-A metal plate suitable for relief, plate, or planographic printing is produced by coating a plate of metal, for example zinc, with a thin layer of another metal, such as copper, and producing over the whole surface of the plate a stipple or chequer of small cavities by means of an engraved matrix. The plate is then polished smooth, leaving a surface of zinc and copper points. The plate thus formed may be engraved or have a design in acid-resisting ink transferred to or otherwise produced on its surface, the plate being then finally subjected to the action of dilute acid. The plate may be used for photoengraving. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also a modification in which the zinc plate is stippled before being coated with copper ; this subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1908-11-26
Abstract: 15,267. Guillaume, E. July 18. Distilling oils etc.; fractional distillation, apparatus for.-Crude petroleum and like liquids are rectified and fractionated by passing them through a column A, and withdrawing the vapours at suitable stages by valved pipes 12 ... 16, which convey the vapours to concentration columns B<2>, &c. The less volatile portions of the vapours condense in the columns B<2>, &c. and return by pipes 24 ... 28 to the column A. The outflow of the rectified fractions through the cocks 2, &c. is controlled by means of the arrangement described in Specification No. 8848, A.D. 1907. The crude petroleum is preliminarily heated in an exchanger 8, and passes by a pipe 9 to the top of the column A. The residues pass from the base of the column to a boiler a' and thence to the exchanger 8. The lightest fraction is concentrated in the column B<1> and flows away through the pipe 1.

Title: Improvements in Force Feed Lubricators.
Inventor: WEBSTER EDGAR PARKER
Filed: 1908-11-23
Granted: 1909-04-29
Abstract: 25,218. Webster, E. P. Nov. 23. Actuating-mechanism; lubricating-pumps.-Relates to mechanism for actuating force-feed lubricating-pumps so as to give a constant delivery of oil irrespective of the stroke of the engine. The piston 3 of the lubricator is actuated by a cam 6, Fig. 3, formed upon a sleeve 11, which is loosely mounted on a fixed shaft 5 and is connected to a spur-wheel 13. This wheel is driven from a disk 15 by an idle pinion 16, which engages with the spur-wheel 13 and also with a rigid spur-wheel 14 having a different number of teeth. Upon the opposite side of the disk 15 are cut ratchet teeth 17 which engage at certain times with corresponding teeth formed on a driving-disk 18. The hub 21 of this disk is provided with two inclined surfaces 22, 23, Figs. 3 and 4, and with a hub 24 having an inclined surface 25 as shown. The inclined surfaces 23, 24 and the surface 25 engage respectively with corresponding surfaces formed on the ends of two sleeves 27, 26, the outer one of which is connected to the oscillating arm 28 while the inner one is clamped to the outer one by a screw 38, Fig. 6. The sleeve 26 can be adjusted through an angle of about 180 degrees by means of a lever 29, which is limited in its movement by shoulders 31, 32, Fig. 1, on the sleeve 27. Assuming that the lever 29 is in the mid-position shown in Fig. 1, when the lever 28 is swung forward in the direction indicated by the arrow it will first swing idly through an arc of say 60 degrees, whereupon the inclined surfaces 34, 35, Fig. 6, on the sleeve 27 will engage with the surfaces 22, 23 on the hub 21. The disk 18 will thereby be forced into engagement with the disk 15, and the latter will be rotated during the remainder of the stroke. On the reverse stroke, the arm 28 will rotate idly round the shaft 5 until the inclined surface on the knee 26 engages with the surface 25 of the lug 24, thereby withdrawing the disk 18 from engagement with the disk 15. The mechanism is also suitable for use with a continuously rotated arm.
