Title: Improvements in and relating to Methods of Re-inforcing Wood.
Inventor: WATKINS ARTHUR GEORGE
IPC: B64C3/18
Filed: 1912-01-17
Granted: 1912-09-12
Abstract: 1358. Watkins, A. G., and Klemm, C. A. Jan. 17. Wooden rods and bars.-Wooden supports for use in aeroplanes, vehicle hood frames, and wooden structures generally consist of a strip 5, of substantially elliptical cross-section, reinforced by an axially-arranged sheet iron or other metal plate 7, and weatherproofed by being coated with bronze and then electroplated with a metal such as copper. The metal film 8 ruptures when splits or cleavages occur in the strip. The supports are so arranged in the structure that the lateral force to which the strip is subjected acts in a direction towards the longitudinal edge of the plate 7, so as to tend to tear the plate and not to bend it. In a modification, two reinforcing - plates are arranged in the strip at right-angles to one another.

Abstract: 5423. Walker, C., and Liddell, J. W. March 4. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Shafts; drainage plant.-A method of sinking shafts in water - bearing strata comprises first sinking a pilot shaft c in the neighbourhood of the site for the main shaft or shafts, driving a borehole 2 on the site of each main shaft, then driving a tunnel z from the foot of the pilot shaft to each bore-hole, and pumping up this pilot shaft the water from the bore-holes. The pilot shaft is lined with tubbing f, Fig. 6, which may be omitted, as shown, where the shaft is dry. Drainage spaces g, which may be filled with rubble, are provided at intervals and sealed by cast-iron crib rings h with wood or cement packing. Draining-pipes j for each section may be connected to common down-take pipes k<1>, or each section may have a separate down-take pipe. By means of the pipes the amount of water likely to be met with at various depths in the main shafts may be estimated. The bore-holes 2 are lined with perforated metal piping delivering to settling-tanks s formed by dams 1 erected in the tunnels z. The lower end of the pilot shaft is enlarged to form a pump chamber u, water from the settling-tanks being pumped up rising mains in the pilot shaft, or the water from the pipes k<1> pumped direct to the rising mains without passing through the settling-tanks. The down-take pipes k<1> may be connected to the rising mains to relieve the pumps. After the main shafts are sunk, the shaft c may be used for draining them. Specification 21,850/09 is referred to.

Granted: 1913-04-17
Abstract: 20,007. Javal, E. CrÚmieu-. Sept. 2. Lazy-tongs load-handling machines.-Lazy tongs lifting-apparatus, of the kind expanded and collapsed by a screwed rod provided in some instances with right and left handed screw-threads, is modified in the following re. spects. (1) To maintain the platform or support g permanently horizontal, it is connected by links h to extensions i of the ordinary upper lazy-tongs levers, in addition to being connected by pin-and-slot mechanism to the pivot e of the ordinary links d. By this arrangement, the table and additional links h occupy practically no additional space beyond that occupied by the ordinary link-work. The base v of the apparatus is preferably connected in a similar manner to the lower end of the link-work. In a modified form, the pin e is pivoted to the platform instead of being connected thereto by pin-and-slot mechanism. In this case, the levers are pivoted loosely to permit the necessary play to ensure vertical movement of the platform. (2) To expand or collapse the unloaded apparatus quickly, one nut k engaging the threaded rod r is pivoted at j while the other is adapted to slide in guides o formed in a pivoted U- shaped member. After disengaging a sliding bolt z<2> from the U-shaped member, the rod r may be rotated about the pivot j until the nut is clear of the U-shaped member. The apparatus can then be expanded or collapsed by hand pressure on the platform g. Fig. 5 shows a modified releasing apparatus in which the nut is formed in halves normally pressed together by springs n<2>. By separating the halves of the nut, the screw is freed.
