Patent EE-200200136-A (EE)
Inventor: CROSSLEY PHILIP
IPC: A41D31/00
Filed: 2000-09-21
Abstract: The floatation garment, in particular a lifejacket or an immersion suit, comprises at least one elastic layer (1) shaped to fit at least around the torso of a wearer and to stretch to an extent between a minimum and a maximum depending on the size of the wearer. To provide thermal insulation, it moreover comprises a plurality of thermally insulating panels (23-28), in particularly foam panels, which are attached with respect to the elastic layer (1) and/or with respect to one another such that they slidably overlap one another. In this way, the garment fits to persons of different size and keeps its thermal insulation notwithstanding the fact that the thermally insulating foam panels are not or not sufficiently elastic.

In Fig. 2 A represents the feed - hopper, ir the bottom of which is arrangec a feed-cap C with delivery spout D A feed-wheel E having a series of teeth on its lower surface gearing with a driving-pinion F on a shaft G, is mounted within the cup C. A ring of leather or other material H inserted in the cup C prevents the fertilizer from working out between the cup and the feed-wheel E. The wheel E is formed with a central opening which registers with a similar opening in a spider arm I, and a specially-formed depending arm on a cranked axle J fits into the said openings and locks the parts together. A scraping-wheel M is mounted on the arm N of the part J, and has notches in its periphery which engage projections on the upper face of the feed-wheel E, by means of which gearing the scraper wheel M is rotated. A stirrer arm 0 is mounted on an upward extension of the scraper wheel, and rotates with it. A guard P is mounted over the scraper wheel M, and is of such shape as to prevent escape of the fertilizer around the wheel. An adjustable gate is provided which, when closed, fits over the parts and prevents all material from falling out through the delivery spout D. The discharge can be regulated by adjusting the position of the said gate.

Title: Improvements in Stamp Affixing Machines.
Inventor: CARNEY WILLIAM AUSTIN
Filed: 1897-09-28
Granted: 1897-11-06
Abstract: 22,269. Carney, W. A. Sept. 28. Damping and affixing stamps. - The stamps are contained in a chamber 3 suspended by loops 2 from the lower end of a hollow plunger 10, vertically movable in a frame A. The chamber has spring-hinged leaves 6 on two sides, with slight flanges 6<1> at their lower ends, on which the stamps rest, being held by a follower 9. The plunger carries a crosshead 16 through which pass rods 15 secured to the chamber 3, and having springs 17 ins e r t e d between the crosshead and collars 18 on the rods. On depressing the plunger, the chamber comes in contact with the surface to which the stamp is to be affixed, further depression of the plunger causing the spring leaves 6 to be forced apart by pins 5 on the plunger, allowing the lowest stamp to be affixed. The compression produced in the springs 17 causes the chamber to remain on the surface during the return of the plunger until the spring leaves have closed to hold the stamps, the chamber and plunger being then returned together by a spring 13. The surface is moistened by a rocking receptacle 19 containing a moistened sponge, which is moved across the surface by the motion of the plunger. The chamber 3 can be filled by inverting the apparatus and forcing open the spring leaves.

Abstract: 4736. Arzt, A. H. March 13. Carburetting.-An absorbent porous material is prepared for use in carburetting, by mixing very fine powdered pumicestone, magnesia, and water into a thick paste, then rubbing the mixture through a sieve, drying in a current of hot air, and calcining. When perfectly cool, the pieces are impregnated first with silicic-triethyl formate, and then with a light hydrocarbon or with mineral oils or the like, in which a small quantity of metallic sodium, or amorphous table salt, or crude camphor has been suspended. The latter are added to decompose the silicic-triethyl formate. These prepared pieces are then placed in a chamber having inlet and outlet tubes, and air or coal or other gas is forced through the chamber. The carburetted gas produced, containing vapours of silicic hydride produced by the decomposition of the silicictriethyl formate, passes at once to the burners. After use, tetraethylic silicate is left, which is distilled off and converted into triethyl formate for re-use by conducting into it the fumes of magnesium silicon moistened with hydrochloric acid. The absorbent body is re-formed by heating, washing, and treating as described above.
