Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 3951. Wilkes, W. C., and Harrison, G. S. Feb. 16. Fluid-pressure.-In a valve device for preventing the release of air brakes until the auxiliary reservoir has been recharged, the exhaust from the triple valve by way of ports 15, 19 is controlled by a piston valve 23, which is formed with a through port 24, and is subjected at one side to the pressure of an adjustable spring 26 and at the other side to the pressure of the auxiliary reservoir, which is in communication with a port 16. The valve 23 thus prevents release of the brakes until the auxiliary reservoir is recharged sufficiently to move the valve to the position shown. The device may be cut out, and the triple valve made to exhaust by ports 15, 28, 29, by rotating a plug 27 through 90 degrees from the position shown.

Title: An Improved Process for Uniting Metal Parts by Brazing or other similar Method.
Inventor: PUGH CHARLES VERNON
IPC: B23K1/00
Filed: 1911-04-12
Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 9104. Pugh, C. V. April 12. Welding; brazing. - Metal parts such as plates and tubular parts of cycle or like frames are secured together in the desired relative position by local welding at one or more points previous to uniting by brazing or other similar method. The welding may be effected electrically or otherwise. When welding electrically, the process may be used in which indentations are made in the work to form the welding points, or the spot welding process in which the electrodes are brought into contact with opposite sides of the metal at one or more points, disks if desired being placed between the electrode and one of the parts to be welded to concentrate the current. The molten metal or alloy &c. is then run in between the spaces to obtain the joint. If the size or number of the welds is increased, the joint may be completed by filling the interstices with solder &c. which is melted in any way.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Mechanism for Making Paper Receptacles.
Inventor: ALLATT THOMAS
IPC: B31B3/28

Granted: 1912-03-07
Abstract: 14,482. Allatt, T. June 19. Stapling.-A machine for making boxes comprises also mechanism for making and attaching a wire handle. The wire passes into the machine between rollers past a pawl, which prevents a retrograde movement while a feeding-slide is on its return stroke, through a sleeve 201<a>, Fig. 29, with a bevelled end, and through eyes in slotted bars 204. A hammer 209, having guide-rods entering recesses in a guide-block, is then advanced, and the wire is then forced against the end of an anvil 208, cut by a cutter co-operating with the sleeve 201<a>, and bent to lie along the sides of the anvil by tools 216, 217. The thickened ends 236 of arms 233, 234 bend the ends of the wire on the concave face of the anvil, and fingers 237 then force them back so that the side arms of the bent wire enter grooves in carriers 239, which are then lowered into position for the inwardly-bent ends of the wire to be forced through the overlapping flaps of the box. This is effected by a pair of horizontally-reciprocating hammers, and the ends of the wire received in slots 167, Fig. 13, in the hollow former are clinched by a block 169, which is moved by a finger on an oscillating arm rocking the block-carrying lever 170 against the action of a spring 173 by engaging a shoulder 172.

Abstract: 16,787. Vereinigte Chemische Fabriken, Landau, Kreidl, Heller, & Co. Sept. 30, 1911, [Convention date]. Enamels. - Anhydrous zirconium compounds poor in alkali are prepared for use as cloudening-agents for white enamels &c. by partially removing the combined alkali from alkaline zirconium compounds by means of a solution of a salt capable of reacting with the alkali and forming a soluble alkali salt; preferably the salt of a metal such as tin or aluminium, the oxide or hydroxide of which has a cloudening effect, is used. For example, zircon is partially or completely opened up by heating with sodium hydroxide or carbonate and the soluble silicates and surplus alkali are then removed by means of water. The combined alkali is partially removed by treating the mass with ammonium or metal salts, and the product then heated until the water of hydration is removed. Specifications 10,418/11 and 1136/12 are referred to. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that the cloudening-agents may be used in the manufacture of glass; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
