Abstract: 26,632. Vollmar, P. Nov. 23. Washing-machines.-Within a water-tight closed vessel, a rubber b is mounted on axles c which bear in tapering journals f adjusted to prevent leakage by nuts c<2>. A bumper g carries studs l, which connect it loosely to the rubber by engaging in grooves m in the rubber. Springs n are coiled centrally around the studs at one end, each passing through one of a series of holes in the rubber at the other and, whereby the tension is adjusted. Both the bumper and the rubber are formed with rounded slats h, and they extend almost the whole width of the vessel. The bumper is suspended at k from levers i pivoted to the vessel. The handles d pivoted on extended legs of the vessel are connected to a rod e, operating the rubber and indirectly the bumper through arms c<1> on the axles. As the handle is lowered from its highest position, the rubber rotates and draws the bumper closer to it, until, as it is depressed to its lowest point, the rubber alone rotates and moves over the bumper, which is kept stationary against the action of the spring ; the clothes are thus first squeezed and finally rolled.

Granted: 1908-05-07
Abstract: 14,675. Black, J., Lennox, A. H., and Lennox, H. June 25. Stills; condensers.-An apparatus for washing smoke, or for cooling or evaporating water, or for use as a jet condenser, comprises a brickwork or metallic casing a divided into compartments of equal size by horizontal partitions b, c, d and a vertical longitudinal partition e ; these partitions are constructed and arranged so that there is communication between each horizontal pair of compartments and also communication between alternating pairs of vertical compartments on opposite sides of the vertical partition, thus smoke entering from a flue g travels upwards through the compartments as follows :-first front to first back, second back, second front, third front, third back, fourth back, fourth front, and so on to the top compartment, passing thence through an outlet h to the atmosphere. Jets of liquid are supplied to the compartment in the direction of motion of the smoke, by way of pipes l, j fitted with stop cocks k. The jets cause an increased draught, and, as the partitions b, c, d are slightly inclined, the liquid together with the smoke impurities is conveyed to an outlet f. When the apparatus is used for evaporating water from an impure liquid, the liquid is sprayed into hot air or gases and re-circulated until too thick or viscid. When the apparatus is used for cooling water, and as a jet condenser, the liquid jets may be admitted at both ends of the compartments.

Granted: 1909-05-03
Abstract: 9482. Miotke, J. May 15, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Planing.-In a wheeled floor-scraper, the handle is so attached to the machine that a downward pull upon the handle moves the point of support of the scraper body to the rear to divide the weight of the scraper between this point and the blade for cutting, and a push on the handle returns the point of support to a point either under or in front of the centre of gravity to tilt the blade out of contact with the floor. The pressure of the scraper on the floor thus depends solely on the weight of the frame. In the form shown in Figs. 2 and 4, the frame A has holes for the axle B and is notched to rest on the axle C, which is carried by a lever member D pivoted to the frame at E' and arranged to receive the handle E. The tool is held in its raised position by a stop J moved out of the way when necessary by a finger j<2> and turned to rest on a stop-pin. It is mounted on a weight H fixed on the frame by a bolt I, which passes through a recess in the weight, so that, when the weight is removed by the handle i', it may be placed on the floor without doing any injury. The front wheels are removed from the floor by the pull on the handle. The scraper may be carried in its horizontal position by a handle d<5> on the member D, and in a vertical position. by a handle a<6> on the frame A. In the form shown in Fig. 7, the hand-lever P is pivoted to the frame M at Q, and is jointed to two pivoted links R, S which carry the wheel axles N, O, these axles being mounted in inclined slots m<1>, m<2> in the frame. The stop V for holding up the lever fits on the bar m<5>, being loosely mounted on the bolt v<1>. In order that the blades may be laterally adjustable to suit unevenness of the floor, the pivot lugs of the member D are mounted loosely and close together, as shown in Fig. 4, while in the form shown in Fig. 7, the axle O is provided with a single central wheel. The weight of the machine is divided about equally between the weight H and the remainder of the machine for facilitating transportation.
