Patent GB-191000272-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Holder-up for Pneumatic Riveters.
Inventor: SCHOFIELD CHARLES
IPC: B25D17/28
Filed: 1910-01-05
Granted: 1910-11-24
Abstract: 272. Schofield, C. Jan. 5. Riveting.-In a holder-up for pneumatic riveters, the snap d is held on the rivet by the pressure of a spring g, the piston e being pressed out by a socket f connected by pins and slots to the casing a and moved forward by a cam lever u, which engages a recess in the socket. To facilitate removal, the normal length of the appliance from the snap to the abutment screw m is slightly less than the distance between the work and the abutment, but, by the operation of the cam lever, the screw is pressed outwards against the action of a spring o which abuts against a shoulder on the screw socket k and a cap b on the casing. The pivot pins s of the lever u pass through cam-slots r in a fork q, the shank p of which is received by the rear end of the socket k. The screw m is adjustable in the socket k to vary the over-all length of the appliance.

Abstract: 20,389. Darling, J. Sept. 1. Ratchet-braces of the reversible type have a screwed spindle adapted to carry a drill at either end, and engaging nuts formed by tapping the cheeks of the brace frame. Pressure for drilling is obtained from a back-centre carried by a tube fitting over the spindle and abutting against the brace frame. When the spindle has been screwed out to its full extent during drilling, the whole brace is turned end for end, the tube and the drill are each transferred to the opposite end of the spindle respectively, and the ratchet mechanism is reversed. The brace is then ready for further drilling. The brace is operated by a hand-lever and quadrant B, Figs. 1 and 2, pivoted at B<1> and meshing with a pinion D loose on the boss of a ratchet-wheel E splined to the spindle. The pinion carries flanges D', D<3>, connected by a gapped ring D<2>. A double-ended pawl F is rockingly attached to the flange D<3>, and is set to rotate the ratchet-wheel in either direction by means of a lever G carried by a ring rotatable between the flanges as controlled by the gap. A shouldered catch H may be pressed, against the action of a spring, into the path of the lever G to effect the reversal.

Granted: 1912-10-17
Abstract: 28,479. Newton, P. A., [Farbenfabriken vorm. F. Bayer & Co.]. Dec. 18. Anthraquinonehydrothiazines are obtained by condensing o-aminoanthraquinone mercaptans with halogenanthraquinones containing a free o-position to the halogen atom, or by condensing o-aminohalogenanthraquinones with anthraquinone mercaptans containing a free o-position to the mercapto group, the intermediate products so obtained being oxidized by means of ozidizing - agents, or by prolonged heating in high boiling-point solvents. The products are vat or pigment dyes. The production of the intermediate products is preferably effected in high boiling - point solvents with addition of agents to neutralize acid, and, if necessary, in the presence of catalysts such as copper or its salts. According to examples:- 1-aminoanthraquinone-2-mercaptan is condensed with 2-chloranthraquinone, and the product is oxidized by heating with boric and sulphuric acids, or by manganese dioxide in fuming sulphuric acid ; anthraquinone-2-mercaptan is condensed with 1-amino-2-bromanthraquinone to form a reddish-blue vat dye in one operation; 1-aminoanthraquinone-2-mercaptan and 1-chloranthraquinone similarly yield a violet dye. Isomers or substitution products of the above bodies may be used; dibrom-2-aminoanthraquinone and anthraquinone-1-mercaptan are specified.

Abstract: 2870. Constantinescu, G. Feb. 3. Oil gas.-Vapour for use in internal-combustion engines is generated in an annular chamber formed by two horizontal concentric cylinders, the chamber being closed to the atmosphere and containing heat-absorbing bodies. One or more perforated pipes deliver the liquid in jets or streams along the whole length of the chamber. The vaporizer is heated by motor exhaust gases, which pass through the cylinder forming the inner wall of the annular chamber. In the vaporizer shown, the inner cylinder 2 is formed with longitudinal ribs 14 and is secured to the outer cylinder 3 by means of a screwed flange 4. The liquid is delivered through a perforated pipe 11. The inlet and outlet pipes 11, 14<1> are secured in screwed plugs 7, 8 at the front of the chamber. The chamber is surrounded by a hollow casing 20, through which the exhaust gases, after passing through the cylinder 2 and along the outside of the cylinder 3, pass by way of apertures 22, 23. A tank 26 connected to the chamber by pipes 27, 28 is provided for the reception of non-vaporizable constituents of the liquid. In a modification, the inner and outer cylinders are both formed with longitudinal ribs. Specifications 12,759/11, 16,229/11, and 17,710/11 are referred to.

Filed: 1913-02-05
Granted: 1914-03-05
Abstract: 2960. Fickford, J. Feb, 5. Stopping machinery by movement of guards. -In a safety device for self-acting mules and twiners, a headstock guard is so arranged that its removal causes the carriage to be brought to a stop, either by locking the driving-belt on the loose pulley of the rim-shaft gear or by holding the taking-in clutch out of engagement. Fig. 3 shows the first method, wherein a latch s is pivoted to the strap fork and rides over the headstock end as the strap fork moves to the right. As long as the laterally-sliding guard n is in position, an arm q on a rod k is held up by tumblers o and hooks p so as to prevent the latch from dropping; to remove the guard, the hooks p must be taken off and the tumblers o allowed to drop, whereupon the arm q also falls and allows the latch s to drop over the headstock end. In the second method, a tumbler 12, Fig. 7, adapted to prevent the taking-in clutch from being put in, is held out of action as long as the guard is in position by an arm 11 attached to the guard. Or, as shown in Fig. 4, when the guard is removed, a latch 8 slips from under a lever 4, which is then pulled down by a spring 7 on to an extension of the clutch lever 6, which is thereby prevented from operating.
