Granted: 1913-05-01
Abstract: 10,654. Submersible & J.-L. Motors, Ltd., and Cooper, T. L. R. May 4. Motors, cooling.-Motors are cooled by means of liquid flowing between the stator iron band the casing a. The water-jacket formed by the annular ribs c, d is divided into a number of compartments by transverse ribs e having openings at alternate ends whereby the axial direction of flow of the liquid is continually reversed as it flows in the succeeding compartments. The liquid is admitted into the lowermost compartment f from a passage n by means of an adjustable screw p and flows circumferentially and axially up to the topmost compartment g, the walls of which have perforations m. The passage n may communicate with an annular groove r into which liquid may enter from the driven pump, and the other end of the passage n may lead to a chamber u communicating with the bearing, a filter v being interposed.

Patent GB-191306242-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to a Transportable Machine for Heating the Road Surface for the Application of Liquid Asphalt.
Inventor: GRASSO ALFIO
IPC: E01C23/14
Filed: 1913-03-13
Granted: 1914-03-13
Abstract: 6242. Grasso, A. April 6, 1912, [Convention date]. Cauldrons; surface - heating apparatus.-Relates to road-surface heating-machines of the kind in which air is forced by means of a fan through a furnace and is afterwards conducted to a container situated near the road surface, the whole of the plant being mounted upon a wheeled framework. According to the invention, the hot gases from the two furnaces of the machine are carried, by a downward blast in each furnace, to a covered space beneath the whole floor of the machine, an asphalt heater being provided between the furnaces. Fig. 1 shows the box-frame 1 of the machine the forward part of which carries a motor 9 driving a fan 10 which is connected by a pipe 12 to two stoves at the rear end of the machine. The stoves each consist of a cast-iron body 13 surrounded by a metal casing 14. Air, entering the top of each stove through an adjustable valve 16, passes through the grate 15 and carries the hot gases downwards over a spreader 19 and into the space 20 beneath the floor of the machine formed by flaps 21 depending from the floor. The motor 9 also serves for advancing the machine slowly and returning it quickly by operating through a variable-speed mechanism upon a pinion 30 connected by a chain 31 with the driving-wheels 3. The variable-speed mechanism consists of a rod 23 reciprocated by an eccentric on the motor shaft and a rod 27 connected by ratchet gearing with the pinion 30; the rods 23, 27 being mounted upon a right and left handed screw 24, which is hinged at its base. The speed communicated from the motor shaft to the pinion 30 is thus dependent upon the distance between the nuts 25, 26 to which the rods 23, 27 are connected, this distance being varied by turning a wheel 29. To give a quickreturn motion to the michine, the pawl of the ratchet gear is disconnected, and a clutch operated by a lever 37 sets a special gear 35 in motion, the speed of which can be varied by a lever 33. An asphalt heater is mounted between the stoves and is connected with a spraying-pipe 40.

Abstract: 6372. Herreshoff, J. B. F. April 12, 1912, [Convention date]. Butt joints with bolts and flanges.-In a flange joint for connecting together the various sections of the rabbing-mechanism of a roasting- furnace, the bolts are completely embedded in the flanges so that heat-insulating material can be applied to protect the bolts. The apparatus comprises a central rotatable shaft 2, preferably made in a number of sections, carrying radial rabbe arms 13. At the point of attachment of each arm the wall of the shaft extends inwards to form a recess 4, from the inner wall of which extends outwards a substantially semicircular flange 6 having slots 7 for the reception of bolts 8. The abutting portion of the arm is formed with a similar flange 14 having register. ing slots 18, and both sets of slots are countersunk to take the heads and nuts of the bolts. The portion taking the head is shaped to prevent turning of the bolt, while that taking the nut is sufficiently large to accommodate also the tightening-tool. When the arm has been secured in position, the slots and the recess 4 are packed with asbestos or similar heat-insulating material. The sections of the shaft 2 are secured together by bolts similarly embedded in the flanges 22, 23. An additional flange 5<1> protects the lower ends of the bolts. Specification 22,022/10, [Class 51 (ii), Furnaces &c. for applying &c.], is referred to.

Abstract: 21,194. Petch, A. F., [Caspary, W.]. Sept. 19. Moulding-machines in which the sand is packed by jarring are operated from a mechanicallyreciprocated piston through a fluid link assisted or not by a spring. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the table slides outside a cylindrical portion of the framing containing the piston c. At the end of the upstroke of the piston, the table rises a short distance and then falls under gravity and strikes the flange e. A non-return valve g permits air to pass freely from the space i to the space f, and may be held open to varying amounts by a screw h to diminish the force of the blow or to render.the table inoperative. In the modification shown in Fig. 2, an auxiliary piston l is interposed between the piston c and the table to receive the jars instead of the frame and foundation. The spaces f, i are connected as in the first-described arrangement.

Filed: 1915-01-12
Abstract: 510. Robinson, T., and Pickford, J. Jan. 12. [Cognate Application, 8636/15.] Circular machines; knitting, methods of. - Vertically striped fabrics, in which the striping or pattern thread 2 is knitted about miss-stitches of the main or ground thread 1, are produced on circular machines having a single set of needles, by causing the needles which take and knit the pattern thread either (a) to take but not to knit the ground thread, or (b) to miss the ground thread. Fig. 12 shows an arrangement for (a), in which single-butted ground needles and double-butted pattern needles are employed. All needles take the ground thread supplied at 12 and are operated by a knitting- cam 5, but the pattern needles are operated by a cam 10 to knit the pattern thread and are raised by a cam 7 only to tucking level prior to receiving the ground thread, the pattern thread being supplied to these needles before reaching a clearing-cam 6. The pattern needles may be longer than the ground needles to draw shorter loops of ground thread. For (b) long-butted pattern needles are depressed by a cam 18, Fig. 13, so as to miss the ground thread supplied through a hole 19. By supplying an additional ground thread at 12, plated stripes may be formed. Fig. 14 shows a combined arrangement for producing plated or solid stripes. Long-butted solid-striping needles are depressed by a cam 21 to miss both ground threads 19, 12; short-butted plated-striping needles are depressed by a cam 22 to miss one ground thread 19; and double-butted ground needles are raised by a cam 23 to take both ground threads. Figs. 4 and 5 show means for supplying the threads to the pattern needles comprising thread layers each in the form of a block 26 pivoted at 27 in the head of a radial pin 28 mounted in a dial plate 29, whereby each thread layer can be moved radially across the needles and transversely thereto, these movements being effected by stationary cams 43, 44 acting upon the ends of a rod 45 secured to a screwed extension 46 of the block 26. The cams 43, 44 may be rendered operative or inoperative by pattern mechanism. According to the Provisional Specification 510/15, the thread layer block may be operated by a depending rod actuated by a radial cam to move the block outwards, inclined cams to raise or lower the block, and a cam or spring to move the block inwards ; the cams may be mounted upon the sinker ring or cam-shell or upon a separate ring or plate. Each block 26 may be furnished with a series of blades 24 having thread eyes 25, which may be clamped in tricks and which may be traversed over one or more needles, the movement of the block 26 being controlled by adjustable stops 49.
