Title: Improvements in Rotary Engines, Pumps or Meters.
Inventor: KENNEDY DAVID
Filed: 1906-12-31
Granted: 1907-11-14
Abstract: 29,745. Kennedy, D. Dec. 31. Fixed - abutment type having outwardly-sliding vanes. The piston drum C is mounted in a cylinder of greater diameter so as to leave an annular space D, which is interrupted by an abutment E, making steam-tight contact with the drum by means of a spring-pressed block J. The piston vanes slide in grooves G in the drum, and are actuated by cam-grooves I in the end walls. Steam is admitted, for running in either direction, by a piston valve M. The device can be used as a motor, pump, or meter.

Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 10,756. North, W. S. May 8. Overedge-stitching machines; trimnaing or cutting; feed work-supports; guiding materials.-In a sewing-machine for necking underwear, in order that the under fabrics should be cut and the seams sewn uniformly, the fabrics are impaled upon spikes 39, 49 on a revolving ring 37 and a revolving table 46. The table revolves freely and the ring is rotated in unison with the feed by a pawl 42, which is reciprocated from the feed swing fiame 11. Guide-lines 50 are marked on the table 46 to ensure that the materials shall be placed on the table in the same position. The cutters are placed in advance of the needles. The upper cutter 20 is fixed and also serves to separate the layers of fabric and to guide one cut edge of the lower fabric away from the needles. The lower cutter 24 is carried by a frame 26, sliding upon a bracket 27 and reciprocated by an arm 28 on a shaft 29, which is oscillated by an eccentric on the main shaft.

Title: Improvements in Electrodes for Electric Arc Lamps.
Inventor: HARRISON HAYDN THIES
Filed: 1907-06-06
Granted: 1908-06-09
Abstract: 13,190. Harrison, H. T., and Hirst, H. June 6. Arc lamps. - Electrodes cored with flame arc materials have cross-sections much larger than usual for the current employed but contain only the usual proportion of core material. When cylindrical or nearly so, the electrodes are rotated as they are fed. A broad thin electrode, Fig. 3, may have a number of separate cylindrical cores or of flattened cores which run into one another ; or, if of rectangular cross-section, it may have a single core of similar shape. Such an electrode with a number of cores may be made from two grooved pieces held together by the core material. A cylindrical or tubular electrode has a single tubular core, Fig. 7, or a number of cylindrical ones arranged circularly ; the surface of the electrode may be fluted, Fig. 9. The electrodes may be either vertical, the negative one being uppermost, or symmetrically inclined to each other. In the latter case, they may be connected by cords f, Fig. 10, to a bar h, on which acts a clutch i connected to the core of a series or shunt solenoid, or both. The arc is kept at the ends of the electrodes by a magnet arranged so as to produce a uniform field, for example, by shaping the polepieces or placing them at a considerable distance from the arc. Fig. 10 shows a permanent magnet r placed at the bottom of the globe. When the electrodes are to be rotated, their holders are screwthreaded and pass through fixed nuts. A screen is placed above the arc.

Abstract: 20,049. Karsam Soap Co., and Samuel, M. R. A. Sept. 7. Retting ; processes.-Incrusting substances are removed from the fibres of flax, hemp, jute, rhea or ramie, and the like by permanent emulsions of petroleum in soap, such as are obtained by the processes described in Specifications Nos. 7380 and 24,822, A.D. 1906, [Abridgment Class Oils &c.].

Title: Improvements in Rotary or Straight-bar Knitting Machines.
Filed: 1907-12-10
Granted: 1908-08-27
Abstract: 27,294. Cotton Ltd., W., and Aldridge, C. H. Dec. 10. Straight bar knitting - machines. - Fancy tuck patterns are obtained in rib tops &c. by acting on the rib needles with notched pressers F, G, H. J, which may slide closely together vertically or be arranged in angular inclined positions. The pressing-edges are all bevelled off so as to act on nearly the same part of the beard. The pressers and also the thread-carriers may be controlled independently. The pressers are pivoted to crank-arms such as F<3>, and may be slid in the grooved brackets K<6> by connecting-rods and cranks, such as F<1>, F<8>, F<9>, F'‹, this arrangement holding the pressers firmly in the working position. The pressers are suitably notched so as to press say, nine, one, two, and three needles in twelve, and are operated by lowering the apparatus suspended by the arms K<3>. Te select the pressers, four rows of studs upon a travelling pattern chain or wheel act upon corresponding levers, which by means of other levers and pushrods elevate the required connecting-rods, such as F'‹. These rods are made with right-angled slots F<13>, through which passes a bar L<2> mounted in bellcrank arms L. The bar L<2> reciprocates idly in the horizontal part of the slots of those rods which are unacted upon by the pattern mechanism, but passes into the vertical notches of the selected rods F<10>, and so withdraws the corresponding pressers from action. Some or all of the pressers may be connected to a sliding bracket and shifted laterally by cam action, the pressers being arrested at any point in the return path by means of a fifth row of pattern studs which insert stops of varying length in the path of the bracket.

Abstract: 702. Follows, A. E., and Marsh, A. L. Jan. 11. Aspirating apparatus, ejector. - In vacuum cleaning-apparatus, the suction is produced by means of a multiple-jet ejector which may be actuated either by water or steam; in the latter case, the exhaust steam is condensed by a water jet. Fig. 1 shows an apparatus which may be portable and in which steam is used. Steam from a flash generator A passes by the pipe A<1> to a casing D containing several ejectors D', Fig. 2. The air sucked in passes the vacuumretaining valve K and is conveyed below the water-level in the tank H by a pipe H'. On the top of the water a perforated disk is fixed, the perforations being smaller than the minimum bore of the nozzles E. Leaving the tank H, the air passes to the ejectors by way of a valve L and connexion D<2>. The mixed air and steam then pass through the conical portion F of the casing, and the steam is condensed by water from a nozzle G. The valve K is spring- loaded and does not open until a predetermined vacuum has been attained in the system.

IPC: B66D1/30
Filed: 1909-06-08
Granted: 1909-09-30
Abstract: 13,437. Smith, A. June 8. Drum or barrel winding machines; variable differential winding.-Comprises a differential - drum hoisting - apparatus arranged so that the distance through which the load is raised or lowered depends on the shape of the winding drum or drums and does not depend on stopping the drum when the load reaches its desired limit of travel. The drum D in the form shown has cylindrical ends of equal diameters and a central enlarged part. The load W is suspended in the bight of a rope, the ends R', R<2> of which are secured to the ends of the drum. When the drum is rotated so that the rope moves as shown by the arrows, the end R' is wound in at the same rate as the end R<2> is paid out, so that the load remains stationary until the end R<1> reaches the spiral 2 on the drum and is thereby wound in faster, the load being then raised at a gradually increasing speed. The speed of lift is greatest when the end R<1> is wound on the largest part 3 of the drum, and then decreases until the cylindrical part 5 is reached and the load is again stationary in the raised position although the drum may still continue to rotate. Other forms are described in which two drums are used, the drums in one case being on separate shafts and in another on the same shaft. In another single-drum form, the smaller portions of the drum are equally prolonged on each side of the enlarged central part.
