Title: Improved Process and Apparatus for the Manufacture of Insulating Tubes.
Inventor: PINDTERSHOFEN VICTOR PINDTER V
IPC: B31B1/74

Granted: 1910-09-29
Abstract: 14,459. Pindtershofen, V. P. von. June 15. Paper and fibrous pipes and tubes. - An electrically - insulating tube is made of paper or other unsized fibrous material, a web of which, of width equal to the length of the pipe, is coiled on a mandrel under pressure, the tube being subsequently impregnated. The paper 3 is drawn under tension from a drum 2, Fig. 1, over a heated roller 6 by a mandrel 1, which is previously coated with the fusible impregnating - material to facilitate its removal. The tube is wound under the pressure of rolls 4 having backing-rolls 5. A sheet of metal or gauze 20 may be wound in with the paper to give a puncture-resisting tube. For impregnation, the mandrels are mounted in a drum between plates 10, 11, Fig. 5, which are countersunk at 12 so as to retain the tubes when the mandrels are withdrawn. This is preferably done by placing a lifting-plate 13 over their screwed ends, and putting on temporary nuts 14. The mandrels are withdrawn while the tubes are hot. The impregnating-material may consist of a mixture of paraffin, beeswax, japan, carnauba and earth waxes, asphalt, pitch, and resins such as colophony. The impregnating- drum is heated and evacuated, and the composition is admitted under pressure. After boiling, it is drawn off from the bottom of the drum so that it drips down the inside and outside of the vertically-mounted tubes, leaving them with a smooth finish.

Title: Improvements in or connected with Hydraulic Pumps, Motors, and like Apparatus.
Inventor: CAREY ROBERT FALKLAND
IPC: F01B13/06
Filed: 1911-09-01
Granted: 1912-09-02
Abstract: 19,519. Carey, R. F. Sept. 1. Revolving-cylinder pumps; regulating delivery by return circuits; relief devices. - In variable-capacity hydraulic pumps and motors in which variation or reversal in pressure or volume is obtained from the movement of a valve without varying the stroke of the pistons, means are provided for releasing any excess of pressure in the cylinders or fluctuation of pressure in any part of the apparatus. Fig. 1 is a sectional view of a rotary hydraulic motor or pump. The cylinder body 4 is attached to the driving - shaft 3 and is arranged within the casing 1, which also carries the eccentric tracks 8. The ring 10 carries the pistons 12 and runs on the track 8, the pistons working within cylinders 6, which lead to the central valve 16. This valve, shown in Fig. 2, is controlled by hand, and is divided into two chambers by a diaphragm 17. Water is admitted through the inlet 14 and passes by way of the port 18, passage 20, and port 19 to the cylinders. Delivery takes place through the port 21, passage 23, port 22, and outlet 15. By adjusting the position of the rib 17 in relation to the radius of the eccentric ring, the capacity and direction of flow of the discharge may be varied. For relieving the excess of pressure in the valve 16, flattened coiled tubes 36 are used, as shown in Fig. 6. To compensate for the extra pressure in the. cylinders, a passage 39 is made in the mid-rib 17, as shown in Fig. 7. This passage leads to a valve 37 provided with cup leathers 38 so that the extra pressure in the cylinders will be relieved by liquid under pressure passing down the channel 39 and away to the valve chambers. Also relief valves may be fitted to the cylinders, as shown in Figs. 1 and 3. Spring-loaded valves 45 are employed in the passages 7. The rear faces of these valves are open to the pressure in the valve by ports and passages 43, 44. When the mid-rib 17 closes a cylinder and the piston movement therein causes a rise of pressure above the normal working pressure with which these valves 45 are loaded, relief is obtained by the movement of the valves. In the form shown in Fig. 3, spring-loaded valves 45, 45<a> abut against each other, and on a rise of pressure taking place in a cylinder these valves move together towards the exhaust side until the valve nearest the exhaust side abuts against its casing. The opposite valve then moves away to give relief.

Abstract: 22,501. Rigby, T., and Testrup, N. Oct. 12. Peat, preparing. - Wet - carbonized peat is treated to reduce its water content to about 30 to 35 per cent, so that it may be stored without deterioration by frost. The peat may be passed from the carbonizing-apparatus into filter presses, and the cakes containing about 70 per cent of water exposed in a rotary drier to the direct action of hot flue gases from boilers, carbonizers, or other source. Or the peat in a finely-divided state may be dispersed in a stream of drying-gas; or compressed to leave about 55 per cent of water for example in a band press of the type described in Specification 4684/11 before exposure to gases; or the compression may be continued to complete the process. The product may be briquetted for storage and used in gas-producers. Specifications 16,958/11 and 17,610/11 are referred to.

Title: Valve for Internal Combustion Engines and Driving Means therefor.
Inventor: RUSSELL EDWIN LIVINGSTON

Granted: 1913-01-02
Abstract: 172. Russell, E. L. Dec. 18, 1911, [Convention date]. Plug cocks.-Relates to rotary valves of internal-combustion engines, of the type in which the valve is moved away from its seat when subjected to excessive frictional resistance. According to the invention, means are provided for preventing binding of the valve on its seat during backward movement of the engine, and for adjusting the timing of the valve. The tapered plug cock 11 is driven by a shaft 17 through springs 37, Fig. 4. The shaft 17 carries a driving-member 25, 25<1> formed with lugs 32, Figs. 3 and 4, and these lugs engage, on forward motion of the engine, with pins 33 on a cupshaped member 28. The springs 37 are arranged between lugs 28<1> on the member 28 and abutments 10<1> on the valve. The member 28 is formed with two helical slots 31 engaging rollers 41 on a pin 38 carried by the valve-plug 11, so that relative movement of the valve and the driving-member 28, due to a resistance to the movement of the valve, raises the rollers 41 and so eases the valve on its seat. The driving- member 25<1> is formed with two cams 27 oppositely inclined to the slots 31, and, on backward rotation of the engine, the cams 27 engage a second pair of rollers on the pin 38 and prevent the valve from being pressed on its seat by the action of the helical slots 31. The shaft 17 is driven by toothed wheels 18, 19, Fig. 1, and can be adjusted axially, so as to raise or lower the helical slots 31 and thus give an angular adjustment to the valve - plug 11. For this purpose, the lower part of the shaft 17 is free to slide within a sleeve 21, which carries the gear-wheel 19 and is prevented from moving endways. The adjustment is effected by means of a flanged nut 23, which screws on the shaft 17 and engages a nut 20 fast on the sleeve 21.
