Abstract: 22,353. Moricet, E. Oct. 2, 1911, [Convention date]. Emergency release arrangements; fastening. - Relates to emergency release arrangements for horses, of the kind in which a fastening for the releasing-device is first opened by the driver &c. and then the complete opening of the releasing-device is effected by the pull of the horse, and applicable to the belly band, collar, hames, traces, or other harness in case of bolting, or to stall or like fastenings in case of fire. Fig. 3 shows an arrangement between the two parts 1, 2 of a belly-band. A releasing-tongue 4 having an enlarged head and a fastening-ring 5 are pivoted at opposite ends of a buckle 3 on the part 1, a spring 13 on the buckle 3 keeping the parts 4, 5 in normal engagement. The ring 5 is operated for release by means of a cord 7 or the like attached to an eye 6 on the ring 5 and passing through a guide 8. A buckle 11 on the part 2 is secured by the tongue 4. In the case of a stall fastening, the buckle 3 is replaced by a plate attachable to a wall by screws &c., and several releasing-cords or the like may be attached to a bell-crank lever for simultaneous release. Fig. 7 shows an arrangement for use between the two parts of an opening collar. Hook members 21 secured to the collar by bolts 22 and connected to the hames are provided one with a cross-piece 32 and the other with a pivoted releasing-tongue 27, which is held in normal engagement by a spring 29 with an eye on a pivoted fastening-arm 26 operated by a cord 30 or equivalent. Fig. 8 shows a similar arrangement between the hames 20 in the case of a closed collar, comprising hook members 35 and pivoted members 36, 37; the member 37 is a loop bearing against a stop 41.

Title: Improvements in Reinforcement for Concrete or similar Pipes, Conduits and the like, and Machines for Manufacturing the same.
Inventor: HUME WALTER REGINALD
IPC: B28B21/64
Filed: 1913-09-25
Granted: 1914-12-24
Abstract: 21,627. Hume, W. R. Sept. 25. Reinforced-concrete pipes.-A wire reinforcement for concrete pipes comprises superposed layers without interlacing, a suitable machine for producing the reinforcement being described. A helical layer 46, Fig. 7, is covered by a similar return layer of opposite sense. A series of brace wires is then applied, each comprising wires 47 which, starting from the same point at one end of the cylinder, pass in opposite directions round the reinforcement, crossing at the middle and meeting again at a point in line with the starting point. Longitudinal wires 48 are then applied, passing backwards and forwards from end to end. Where special strength is required, a layer 49 passing in inclined diraction backwards and forwards may be added. A final single or return helical layer 50 of close pitch is added. The machine comprises a slotted cylindrical mandrel 27, Fig. 1, with spring rings tending to collapse it, mounted on and expanded by a fixed cone 22 and movable cone 23. The cone 23 is held in place by a removable bearing standard 24 supporting the outer end of the mandrel shaft 5 and held by a toggle-lever 25. The mandrel has projecting pins 31 around which the wires are passed at the ends of the reinforcement. The pins 31 ara mounted on springs 32 so that they may be depressed below the surface of the mandrel to free the finished reinforcement. In a modification, Fig. 5, the pins are formed by the inclined ends of members 31 projecting through conically-disposed openings, the other ends being carried by a sliding member 34 which can be moved by a rod 35. The mandrel is rctated through gear-wheels 6 from belt pulleys 16 on a side shaft, and carries gear-wheels 7, 8 meshing with wheels 9, 10 on a shaft 11, which also carries a pulley 12. The wheels 9, 10 and the pulley 12 move together, and may be driven by either of the wheels 7, 8 to change the speed of rotation. An endless chain 37 passes round pulleys 12, 38, 39. A carriage 41 mounted to move parallel with the axis of the mandrel has a clutch device capable of engaging either side of the endless chain, so that it may be moved in either direction, or stopped by disengaging the clutch from the chain. The carriage carries a guide-pulley 45 over which the wire is fed during rotation of the mandrel and of the carriage to produce the helical windings. The intermediate layers 47, 48, 49 are applied by hand around the pins 31, the rotation of the mandrel being stopped.

Granted: 1914-07-09
Abstract: 22,692. Keller, C. A. Oct. 8. Cast-iron and scrap processes; oxide, cast-iron, and scrap processes.-Cast iron is made by melting scrap iron or steel in an electric furnace and carburizing the metal.. The electrode, in. the melting-furnace is driven into the charge, which, if it is not desired to remove phosphorus, consists of scrap iron, a desulphurizing-slag, and coal. If it is desired to remove phosphorus, an oxidizing calcium slag is used in the melting- furnace, and the carbon is not mixed with the charge but is added to the metal in the melting- furnace, for example through a hollow electrode, or to the metal in a second electric furnace, in which it is treated with a desulphurizing-slag. Oxides, for example of silicon and manganese, or ferro-alloys may be added to the charge in the melting-furnace, or to the second furnace, to increase the percentage of silicon, manganese, &c. in the product. If it is desired to obtain a highly carburized cast iron containing a minimum of silica, only a small quantity of a slag containing a minimum of silica is used in the melting-furnace.
