Abstract: 836. Kramp, K., and Kramp, H. Jan. 12. Checks.-A door check or buffer is provided with an additional checking-spring i which is brought into action by the draught caused by rapid closing of the door. T h e buffer c is slidablv mounted on a dovetailed rib e or one of the side plates a, and is normally pressed outwards by a spiral spring f. The collar g can be adjusted for regulating the pressure of the spring. The buffer is provided with a lug n and a stop p. A. V-shaped blade-spring i is mounted between the plates a and is supported by a spring l. One member of the spring i is weaker than the other and abuts against a bolt m. The other end rests against a lever o, which is pivoted at its lower end and is adapted to be forced backwards by the draught caused by forcible closing so as to cause the end n<1> of the spring i to engage the lug n of the buffer.

Abstract: 2079. France, R. Jan. 27. Beetling.-Two fallers F may be employed, but there is preferably only one extending the whole length of the beam A to obviate the markings on the cloth caused at the places between adjacent fallers. The faller F is actuated by an eccentric E on the driven shaft; and the cross-head D' carrying the faller F is provided with end pins C' moving loosely in vertical guiding - slots in the end frames, so that an oscillating movement is given to the faller in addition to the reciprocating movement, and the oscillating movement causes a rotary feed-motion to be automatically imparted to the beam A. The beam is supported at its ends on spring-pressed resilient blocks, or on india-rubber or wooden blocks, in which case the springs are dispensed with.

Abstract: 7317. Stanley, A. H., [Swift, W. C.]. March 23. Cleaning externally and internally, non- rotary appliances for.- Cast iron and like pipes are simultaneously cleansed of burnt sand &c. internally and externally by the hammering action of a chain which is drawn longitudinally through and over the pipe, which is concurrently rotated about its axis. The chain 14 is suitably driven around pulleys 10, 11, one of which is mounted on a swinging arm 13 having a ratchet gear and cord 17 or the like to adjust the position of the pulley 11 and so control the slack chain which cleans the pipe externally. The pipe is carried by rotating supports 3, 4. The chain may be threaded through the pipe by a plunger bar having a hook 23 to engage the disconnectible chain link 20 and operated by compressed air or other medium in a cylinder 21. The pipes are treated while still hot from the moulds, and are hot enough after the cleaning to pass to the tar bath without an additional heating.

Abstract: 7871. Bacon, R. H. S., and Duncan, F. April 1. Naval mountings. - Relates to hydraulic or electric power training-gear for heavy ordnance, and consists in the provision of means whereby the speed of rotation of the motor may be slightly increased or decreased independently of the main operating hand-wheel. In the construction illustrated, the valve d is operated by means of the spindle b the screwed end b<1> of which engages a threaded boss a' on the handwheel a. The boss a<1> has collars a<2>, a<3> to prevent axial movement relatively to the bearing c. To increase or decrease the speed of the motor slightly, a rotary motion is given to the spindle b itself by means of a lever e which is normally pinned to the bearing c by a pin e<2> entering a slot c<1>. The valve d may be replaced by variable resistances for electric power working.

Abstract: 24,655. Abbott, E. J. Oct. 24. [Addition to 15,076/09, Class 73, Labels &c.] Coating webs.-The machine described in the parent Specification for closing the sealing-flaps of envelopes and affixing postage stamps is modified so that the devices for feeding and severing the stamps remain inoperative if an envelope is not in place to receive a stamp, and the stamps are damped by a device which is actuated by the envelope-feeding slide. A folded stamp strip is placed in a receptacle 10 and is fed by rollers 11, Fig. 3, and a star-wheel 14, Fig. 1, as described in the parent Specification. The pins 15, which actuate the starwheel and rock the lever 51 that depresses the cutter 34, are carried by a segment 32 slidable upon the crank-shaft 3, and project through the gear-wheel 16. When an envelope is fed forward by the slide 5, it engages with flexible cams 21 on a shaft 20, Fig. 6, which is thereby rocked. This movement is transmitted to aforked lever 30 pivoted at 31, Fig. 1, to slide the pins 15 into the plane of the star-wheel 14 and of the lever 51. The stamp-guide 12, Fig. 3, is of glass, to decrease friction and to afford a view of the strip. The cutter 34 and the affixing-plunger 37 are arranged as described in the parent Specification. The damper comprises a pad projecting above a tank 42 which is carried by a bent lever 41, 45 pivoted at 39 to a slide 40. The arm 45 carries two hooks 46, 47, between which the envelopefeeding slide works. During the feeding- stroke, the slide engages the hook 47, rocks the arm 41 downwards, and carries the damper beneath the plunger 37, as shown in Fig. 3. On the return stroke, the slide engages the hook 46 and rocks the damper upwards into contact with the end stamp, which it presses against a plate 44, Fig. 1, carried by the slide 40. The damping-device is then drawn back into the position shown in Fig. 1.

Abstract: 5833. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Aug. 16, 1910. [Cognate Applications, 5834/10 and 5836/10.] Ammonia.-Catalysts for use in the synthetic production of ammonia consist of a mixture of iron or cobalt, and a promoter, free from active contact poison. The addition of a promoter has the effect of increasing the yield of ammonia, and the bodies added are generally compounds of elements such as magnesium, beryllium, aluminium, the rare - earth metals, uranium, thorium, zirconium, vanadium, niobium, tantalum, chromium, manganese, molybdenum, and tungsten. The addition of the oxide or other compounds of magnesium or aluminium is particularly favourable. The bodies that act as contact poisons are, for example, sulphur, selenium, tellurium, phosphorus, boron, antimony, lead, bismuth, tin, and zinc and their compounds, and carbon monoxide and some other carbon compounds. Contact poison may be removed by heating the mixture of the promoter and iron &c. or a suitable compound thereof in such a manner that a mixture of oxides is obtained, and then reducing this in hydrogen. The heating should preferably be effected so that the mixture melts, and the reduction should be effected at as low a temperature as possible. The treatment is repeated if necessary. The gases should be freed from contact poison such as arsenic, sulphur, and oil, by passage over a material capable of absorbing it, and this material may be a further quantity of catalytic material arranged in advance. The mixture of iron and a promoter may be supported on a carrier such as chamotte or asbestos, and a constituent of the carrier may constitute the promoter, but it is necessary in this case that the iron and promoter should be actually mixed.
