Title: Improvements in Singeing Machines.
Inventor: ALLSOP THOMAS
Filed: 1910-11-04
Granted: 1911-02-09
Abstract: 25,686. Allsop, T., Sibson, W. W., and Hagar, W. F. Nov. 18, 1909, [Convention date]. Singeing.-Relates to singeing machines in which the stocking-supporting forms travel in a fixed path, and consists in so mounting the forms that in placing the stockings thereon the position o f the forms relative to the operator is substantially the same as the position in which board forms are usually held. Means are also provided for stripping the stockings from the forms, and for cooling the forms. The main shaft 3, driven by gears 4, 5 from a driving-shaft 6, carries a spider 11 provided with projecting arms 12, which carry by means of brackets 14 the forms 13, which are driven between the opposing perforations of burner pipes 16. The stockings are fed on to the forms as they rise and move away from the operator on the left-hand side, Fig. 1, and after passing the burners the stockings are stripped by an arm or arms 30 carried by a chain 21 passing round gear-wheels 20, 22, 24 and over a curved channel guide 26. The guide is concentric with the forms 13, which are centred about the shaft 3, and the chain is driven at a greater speed than the forms by driving - connexions from the shaft 6. The arm 30 enters a slot 29 provided in the forms, beyond the end of the stocking, which is stripped by the faster moving arm. To cool the forms when singeing stockings in the " green " state, the shaft 3 is provided with bores 31, 32, Fig. 5, separated by a partition 33, and water is led into the bore 31 and passes by a pipe 38 into an annular pipe 39 connected to the forms by pipes 40, Fig. 7, and is led out by pipes 41 to an annular pipe connected to the bore 32, from which it passes to the drip pipe 37. The forms are made hollow and are provided with a recess 44, round which tho water passes, instead of the slot 29.

Title: An Improved Electrically Resistant Material and a Process for Producing the same.
Inventor: JONES HENRY THOMAS
IPC: H01B1/04
Filed: 1911-01-19
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 1459. Jones, H. T. Jan. 19. Resistances of treated graphite. A block or other article of pure unagglomerated graphite has its resistance increased by impregnating it with a substance of higher resistance, rendering it suitable for use in a rheostat, controller, heater, or the like. The impregnating-substance may itself be refractory, such as magnesia, or may yield a refractory material when heated, such as tar; it is applied with a liquid, and the impregnation may be assisted by heat, vacuum, and pressure, the article subsequently being dried, and if necessary heated, to render the added substance stable. In one example, flat discs of graphite, to form a compressible resistance, are soaked in a solution of North Carolina pine tar in carbon disulphide, for a time depending upon the resistance desired, and subsequently are dried and then heated to 1000‹ F. to carbonize the tar. In another example, the graphite is soaked in a mixture of magnesia usta and carbon disulphide, and dried at the ordinary or a higher temperature.

Filed: 1911-04-21
Granted: 1912-04-18
Abstract: 9725. Orling, A., and Orling's Telegraph Instruments Syndicate. April 21. Capillary electrometers.-The sensitive mercury - electrolyte surface is retained in the capillary tubes by reducing the pressure in the electrolyte below that of the atmosphere. Mercury is forced into the capillary portions of tubes a, Fig. 3, by plugs in the wider ends; the unoccupied ends of the tubes are then filled with electrolvte and sealed into a tube b also filled with electrolyte. The plugs being removed, the pressure inside the tube b is less than that in the tubes a. The tubes a may be cut short, to leave the mercury projecting, and a branch of the tube b may be fitted with a rubber vessel b<2> and an adjusting-screw, as shown. In the telegraphic instrument shown in Fig. 1, the capillary contrivance is mounted on a platform c, and the metal-covered portions e<1>, e<2> of a mica plate are pressed against the projecting mercury surfaces by means of an adjusting- screw f. Connexion is made with the surfaces e<1>, e<2>, by means of stretched wires d<1>, d<2>. The arm g of a siphon recorder is vibrated by means of a coil m, and a mirror n may be provided.

Title: Improvements relating to Road Vehicle Suspension Arrangements.
Inventor: COWEY LEONARD EUGENE
IPC: B60G17/04
Filed: 1911-06-06
Granted: 1912-06-06
Abstract: 13,544. Cowey, L. E. June 6. Composite and pneumatic springs; connexions and attachments applicable generally for tensile and compressive springs. - Relates to roadvehicle fluid-pressure suspension devices of the piston-and-cylinder type, having automatic means in each cylinder for maintaining an average distance between the frame and axles for all loads, and consists in arranging devices of this kind in series with the usual metallic springs, the fluid-pressure device being more sensitive than the metallic springs, Fig. 2 shows in plan the suspension cylinders E mounted upon the frame A and connected to a common reservoir K which is supplied with fluid pressure from the explosion gases of the engine by means of a pipe J<1> fitted with main and auxiliary non-return valves L, M, shown in Figs. 4 and 6 respectively. The suspension devices, shown in detail in Fig. 3, are inserted between the rear end of each laminated spring D and the vehicle frame, as shown in Fig. 1. Each device comprises a cylinder E with annular chamber e<3>, a piston-rod G bearing loosely against a piston f having a leather cup-ring f<1> resting thereon, a plug e<1> supporting the fluidpressure inlet valve H and one or more outlet passages e<5>. The movements of the piston are limited at the top end of the stroke by a projection e on the plug e', and at the bottom by the engagement of a washer g with a plate g<2>. The plate g<2>, through which the piston - rod passes, is slidably mounted between plates g<3>, g<4> to prevent access of dirt to the interior of the cylinder and to allow for angular movements of the piston-rod. For ordinary road shocks, the piston works between the end of a stem h on the valve H and the outlet port e<5> ; but when a change of load occurs, the piston either contacts with the valve stem to admit pressure-fluid to the cylinder through a passage h<3> and past the valve stem, or falls below the ports e<5> and relieves the pressure. In the event of abnormal shocks or the failure of the fluid-pressure devices, the metallic springs are brought into action through the medium of the top and bottom stops.

Abstract: 22,035. Mannesmannr÷hren - Werke. March 8, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] [Addition to 20,176/11.] Joints formed by molten metal; junctionpieces.-In jointing of tubes such as superheater tubes by a, method such as is described in the parent Specification, in which instead of thickening and flattening the ends to be welded, a distance-piece d is autogenously welded to the ends and the dished cap then welded on, so that tubes may be joined which are at a greater distance apart for providing a larger area for the passage of smoke, gases &c. The distancepiece is equal in width to the tube diameter as shown in Fig. 1, which obviates the necessity of varying the shape of the cap. The material for welding is melted from the parts adjacent to the joint by the autogenous process, but additional material may be added.
