Title: Improvements in Supports for Bicycles.
Inventor: BERTHOLD PAUL
IPC: B62H5/14
Filed: 1910-10-10
Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 23,419. Berthold, P. Oct. 10. Supports; locking - apparatus.- A support for a bicycle is constructed so that it may be locked in its operative position by a device which may, if desired, lock the rear wheel at the same time. The support b, pivoted about the rearwheel axle, has an extension c which, when the support is put into use, is moved up into a slot formed by a box e on the fork B, in which slot it is locked by the end k, or the end i of a pivoted member l. When it is desired to have the support in use and the rear wheel free, the pivoted member l is turned so that the extension c is retained by the end i of the member l, which is held in position by the engagement of the spring lever p with the teat n on the member l. When it is desired to have the support in use and the rear wheel locked, the member l is turned into the position shown, in which the extension c is held by the short arm k of the member l while the long arm passes between the spokes of the wheel, and is held in position by the engagement of the squared teat m with the notch in the spring lever p. To disengage from this locking position, the lever p requires to be withdrawn by a screwed key x.

Abstract: 8553. Stevenson, J. R. April 11. [Cognate Applications, 18,929/12 and 22,774112.] Tentering.-In a tentering-device applicable to steam can drying-machines, the fabric-holding pins or clips are secured to endless flexible bands mounted on blocks which slide in grooves in endless rails. Fig. 1 shows the general lay-out. The endless rails 1 run round the steam-heated drying- cylinders 2 and up to the grooved pulleys 3, so that the tentering-chains 11 are carried around the cylinders 2 by the rails, and around the pulleys by the grooves therein, and then back underneath the machine as shown. Pulleys 7, 8 are provided at the ends, the latter being adjustable to take up stretch due to heating. The fabric may be given a flexible finish by imparting an up-and-down motion to it as it passes through. This is done by making the pulleys 3 on one side of the machine adjustable in height. Alternate pulleys are arranged higher and the others lower than the corresponding fixed pulleys on the other side of the machine. Suitable mechanism is provided for adjusting the positions as required. Figs. 16 and 17 show one of the sliding blocks 6 to which the flexible bands 11 carrying the pins 12 are secured. The bent-over ends 14 of the bands 11 are secured by bolts 16, and the flanges on the bands are slotted to give resilience. In the modification shown in Fig. 23, a spring clip member 21 is used instead of the pins. The arrangement of pins may be otherwise modified. The fabric may be forced upon the pins by a suitable brush, and taken off by a cam edge.

Granted: 1912-08-27
Abstract: 8573. McBerty, F. R. July 27, 1910, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Automatic and semi-automatic exchange systems. -A semi-automatic system is described identical with that described in Specification 17,211/11. The claims relate to the test-circuit and devices for bringing a selector to rest when it reaches the terminals of a disengaged trunk, and for restoring it afterwards to normal position. (1) The test-relay is first energized by a high resistance winding and thereupon locks up. in the same circuit, through a low-resistance winding, whereby the potential on the testterminals of the trunk seized bv the selector is brought to a ' busy ' condition. (2) A relay, controlling magnets for driving and stopping the selector, becomes energized in series with the low-resistance winding of the test-relay as soon as the movable brushes are centrally over the selected terminals, but is short-circuited by an interrupter contact except at the moments when the brushes are centrally over terminals. (3) When the selector is released, the brushcarriage resumes its forward movement until it regains normal position, whereupon the controlling-relay is again energized and brings it to a stop.

Abstract: 8881. Justice, P. M., [Domestic Appliances Co.]. June 19, 1911. Dust, separating from air. - In a combined dust separator and destructor, dust-laden air is induced by a steam jet into a depositing- chamber in which the heavier non-inflammable particles separate out, whereupon the steam jet conveys the air and light inflammable particles into an incinerating-chamber. The invention is described in connexion with vacuum cleaning- apparatus of the type described in Specification 14,496/11, [Class 8 (i), Air and gases, Compressing &c.], of even date. Dust-laden air is induced through a pipe 13 into a depositing- chamber 14, the lower portion of which comprises a removable pan 15 pressed upwards by a spring bolt 16, by a steam jet 4, which together with a combining-cone 6 forms a steam airejector. The air and light inflammable particles from the chamber 14 are forced by the ejector into a flue 64, in which the particles are incinerated by the combustion products from the gas-heated flash boiler A which supplies the steam to the ejector. The steam is preferably dry or superheated.

Abstract: 15,720. Dobson, F. W. July 5. Bleaching, processes for.-In bleaching chemical wood pulp, esparto, &c., the material is placed, in a dry or semi-dry state, in a closed rotary vessel, and sufficient water is added to make the material weak and limp and, when the vessel is rotated, to reduce it to a dry or semi-dry macerated condition. The vessel is rotated and stopped, and a concentrated bleaching-solution is then introduced, with or without a further supply of water. The vessel is then again rotated until the process is completed. The treating-vessel is preferably cylindrical in shape and adapted to hold several tons of pulp; it may be provided with shelves, spikes, &c., arranged spirally or otherwise to promote efficient mixing. The quantity of hleaching- material used, usually chloride of lime, depends upon the bulk of pulp to be treated, the degree of whiteness required, and upon the quality or kind of pulp under treatment, but there should be little or no excess above what is necessary for fully bleaching the pulp. When esparto is treated, after being boiled as usual, it is washed to eliminate soda &c., and then brought to a dry or semi-dry state ready to be placed in the bleaching-vessel.
