Title: Improvements in Flushers for Water Closets and the like.
Inventor: TURNBULL WILLIAM
IPC: E03D3/04
Filed: 1909-04-14
Granted: 1909-11-04
Abstract: 8826. Turnbull, W. April 14. Valves closing after predetermined interval or flow.-Relates to flushing-apparatus of the type described in Specification 16,195/08, [Class 78, Lifting &c.], for use with high-pressure water. A valve 12 is opened by hand and admits water to the chamber below it. It closes automatically a predetermined time after release. A flushing- valve 29 is opened by the water that passes the valve 12. It closes a predetermined time after opening, and cannot be opened again until after a predetermined interval. A piston 23 integral with the valve 12 fits in the chamber 6. The inlet pipe 1 opens below the piston. Above the piston, the chamber is filled with water which has leaked through a saw-cut in a screw 24. When the valve spindle is raised, an auxiliary valve 26 is raised first, and afterwards, when lugs 21 on the spindle reach the top of a recess 20 in the valve body, the valve 12 is raised. The water above the piston passes down the central passage in the body of the valve. A piston 30 is integral with the valve 29, and fits in a chamber 7. Above it is a loose piston 36. When the valve 12 is opened, water forces the valve 29 and the pistons 30, 36 upwards until the piston 36 seats against a leather ring 39. Afterwards, water leaks through a saw-cut in a screw 32 into the space between the two pistons and the valve gradually falls. It is retarded, as it approaches its seat, by the water retained by the circular wall 28. When the valve 12 is closed, the water below it slowly escapes to the flush pipe through a sawcut in a screw 33, and after that the water between the pistons 30, 36 escapes through the screws 32, 33. The valve 29 cannot be opened until the water between the pistons escapes. When the valve 29 is being opened, air above the pistons escapes through the holes 43 and the passage 45. The caps 9, 10 of the chambers 6, 7 are screwed in place, and there secured by lugs 48 attached to the caps by set-screws. The heads of these set-screws may be covered by seals. A stop valve is placed in the supply pipe before the valve 12.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Winding Mechanism of Machines for Manufacturing or Treating Rubbered Cord.
Inventor: SLOPER THOMAS
IPC: D07B3/08
Filed: 1909-05-05
Granted: 1910-05-05
Abstract: 10,645. Sloper, T. May 5. Machines for making; inequalities, detecting and removing. - In machines for manufacturing or treating rubbered cord such as is used in the manufacture of cord tyres, apparatus is provided to keep an even tension on the cord. The strands B, Fig. 2, are drawn from supply bobbins A, which are mounted in pivoted frames A<1> and are provided with brake-disks A<4> which normally rest on stationary brake blocks A<5>. They are then passed over guide-pulleys C, which are carried on spring-controlled rods C<5> and are capable of swivelling to follow the line of travel of the cord as it leaves the supply bobbin. The strands then pass through a die D carried on a hinged horizontal arm D' which is connected to a clutch or striking gear so that if a knot or enlarged portion comes to the die it depresses the arm and stops the machine. The united strands are then passed round a positively-driven wheel E, Fig. 5, carried in a rotating frame F, and the resulting cord is wound upon a receiving- bobbin G by a traversing-device K. The bobbin G rotates in the same direction as the frame F and is mounted upon one member G<4> of a friction drive, the other member G<3> of which is positively driven through a bevel-gear G<1>. A casing L, which is connected to the drive member G<4> and to a pinion K" from which the traverse-device K is driven, surrounds the friction drive and is filled with lubricant. The drive is so arranged that when the bobbin is empty it is being dragged by the frame; then as the bobbin is filled, it increases in weight and the degree of slip is decreased, the tension which would tend to be decreased from this cause being kept practically uniform by the increased arm at which the force acts.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Shoe Sewing Machines.
Inventor: PLANT THOMAS GUSTAVE
IPC: D05B15/00
Filed: 1909-06-07
Granted: 1910-06-02
Abstract: 13,313. Plant, T. G. June 7. Boot-sole sewing- machines; welting and d turnshoe.- Means are provided for giving the desired movements to the weltguide of a shoes e w i n g machine, for properly positioning the welt for the stitchforming mechanism, and for causing the welt to be drawn through the guide for the next stitch, in such away as to avoid straining the previous stitch or wrinkling the upper. The welt-guide 10, which is provided with a guiding-piece 12 for the welt 13, is mounted on the arm 9 pivoted at 11, which also carries the awl 4 and is mounted on a feed-slide 8, which is moved along a slideway 7 by a roller 26, on the arm 25, working in a cam-groove 27. The welt-guide 10 has also a slotted extension 14 in which works a pin 15 mounted on a bell-crank lever 16 pivoted at 17 to a back-gauge 18, the other arm of the bell-crank being made in two parts 19, 20 with a knife-joint connexion at 21 so that they may have a limited amount of relative movement under the action of a spring 22. The end of the part 20 is forked to embrace a fixed pin 24. The welt-guide 10 is thus raised away from the work on retraction of the back-gauge 18 and pressed yieldingly on to the work during the forward movement thereof. The backgauge is actuated by a pivoted lever 35, which at one end engages a stop 37 and at the other carries a roller 38 working in a cam-groove 39. The gauge is returned by a spring 29 and is held on the work by a catch 32 engaging teeth 33, the catch being tripped at intervals to free the back-gauge. The cam 39 is arranged with regard to the feed-cam 27 so that, just before the needle advances, the part from a to b acts on the roll to move the welt-guide into contact with the work, the part b-c then holding it in that position while the needle enters; the guide is afterwards drawn back while the roll moves over the part c-d, and simultaneously therewith the feed-slide 8 is moved to carry the awl and guide in a direction reverse to the feed movement. By these devices the welt-guide is taken out of contact with the upper during the welt-measuring movement. At the end of this diagonal movement the part d-e of the cam again causes the welt-guide 10 to contact with the work, and it remains there while the part e-f is passed and the needle leaves the work; the guide is then again retracted as the part f-a is passed, during which the feed takes place.

Abstract: 21,835. Ward, E. P. Sept. 20. [Addition to 23,846/09.] Gas analysis.-The gas-analysis apparatus described in the parent Specification is modified by replacing the inlet and outlet pipes from the measuring-chamber 8 by a single pipe 19 connecting with passages G, 20 in the multiple-way cock for the inlet and discharge of the gas. Further, the measuring-chamber 8 is formed by partitions 7, 14 in the motor cylinder 3, the upper and lower compartments being connected by a pipe 9; and a pipe 19<a> depends from the bottom of the measuring-chamber. The oil-piston described in the parent Specification is dispensed with, the stopping of the siphon being effected by unsealing its discharge-inlet in the known way. In operation, water fills the cylinder 3, and overflows through the siphon 27 into the bucket 29, causing it to fall gradually. This gradual motion is produced by allowing the bucket to dip into water in the tank T. When the bucket reaches the position shown in dotted lines, the pipe 28 is sealed, and the siphon 27 starts, empties the cylinder 3, and draws a fresh charge into the measuring - chamber 8. The bucket is emptied by a siphon 33, and, on rising, puts the measuring-chamber in communication with the connexion 20 to the absorbing-chamber.
