Patent GB-191126612-A (GB)
Title: Laminated Cohering Interwound Fabric.
Inventor: SUBERS LAWRENCE ALONZO
IPC: D04H3/073
Filed: 1911-11-28
Granted: 1913-02-28
Abstract: 26,612. Subers, L. A. Nov. 28. Compound fabrics; imitations of textile fabrics.-An unwoven laminated fabric consists of a number of series of cords, bands, &c., the members of each series being in parallel order and at an angle to the members of adjacent series, and being pressed into the plane of another series so as to fill the interspaces between the members of the latter series, the whole being held together by an adhesive, such as rubber. The fabric may be constructed on a mandrel M to form hose-pipes, pneumatic tyres, &c., the first layer of rubbered cords, bands, &c. A being wound on a lining L of rubber so as to leave interspaces equal to one or more widths of the bands &c., the second layer A<a> being similarly wound over the first layer at an angle thereto, the third layer B being parallel to the first layer but with the members arranged to cover the interspaces between the members of the first layer; a fourth layer B<a> is parallel to the second layer, and arranged to cover the interspaces therein, and so on until the whole of the interspaces of the first and second layers have been covered by the members of the superimposed layers; the whole is then compressed, preferably by tightly winding the outer layers, so that the members B are forced into the interspaces between the members A, the members B<a> into the interspaces between the members A<a> &c. A layer of spirally wound cord Y may then be wound over the laminated fabric to withstand lateral expansion, and a second laminated fabric Z, similar to the first one, may then be wound over the layer Y, the whole being finally covered with a layer of rubber L<1>. In order to allow for the unequal expansion in the different layers, the cords &c. composing the inner layers X are made with a greater number of twists per inch and are wound less tightly than those in the outer layer Z. The bands from which the fabric is made may be formed on the same principle, by winding layers of groups of cohesive threads 56 on a mandrel in the manner described above and compressing, saturating with rubber, &c., drawing off the mandrel (which may have a tapered end to cause the groups to close up), and passing between rollers to flatten the tubes so formed. Such bands are then wound in lavers in the manner described above to form pneumatic'tyres &c.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Carrying Out of Catalytic Operations, and more particularly to the Conversion of Unsaturated Fatty Acids or their Glycerides into Saturated Compounds.
Inventor: WILBUSCHEWITSCH MOSE
IPC: C11C3/12
Filed: 1910-12-24
Granted: 1912-03-25
Abstract: 72. Wilbuschewitsch, M. Dec. 24, 1910. Catalytic materials, processes, and apparatus. -In catalytic reductions, such as the conversion of unsaturated fatty acids or their glycerides into saturated compounds, the catalyst is finely divided and is composed of a catalytic agent supported on an inert support. The catalyst is applied to the inert support when the latter is in a finely divided condition, and the method of preparation consists in mixng clay, pumice, kieselguhr, or other inorganic non-fibrous substance with a solution of iron, nickel, copper, &c. in sulphuric acid. The mixture is treated with sodium carbonate to convert the metal into carbonate which is converted to the oxide by heat, and reduced to metal by means of hydrogen, suitable apparatus for effecting the reduction being described in Specification 15,439/1]. The catalyst so obtained is rubbed up with oil to form an emulsion. One method of using the catalyst, as described in Specification 30,014/10, consists' in mixing the emulsion with the substance to be treated, for example oil, and introducing this mixture through spray nozzles b into an autoclave a provided with a heating-jacket d. Hydrogen is forced through the liquid that collects at the bottom of the autoclave by introducing it through a nozzle c, consisting of an annular chamber, the inner wall of which is provided with conical or helically-formed perforations 3 inclined upwards at an acute angle to the axis of the chamber. By this means an intimate contact and emulsification of the oil-mixture with the hydrogen is obtained. The hydrogen is at a pressure of about nine atmospheres. The catalyst is regenerated by extracting the oil with a solvent, saponifying the last traces with sodium carbonate, and treating with acid, whereby the fatty acids are removed. After further treatment with sodium carbonate, the catalytic material is treated as above described. Specifications 7242/01, [Class 91, Oils &c.], 1515/03, [Class 2, Acids and salts, Organic, &c,], 2520/07, 7726/10, and 18,969/10 are referred to Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 5188/11.

Abstract: 174. Marcuse, M. M. Jan. 7, 1911, [Convention date]. Tilting-bottle apparatus.-Relates to detail improvements in apparatus for delivering liquid soap &c. in which a spherical liquid container suspended from a bracket is tilted to deliver the liquid. The screws 35 which fasten the bracket to its support are concealed by a disk 36 and collar 37 secured to the bracket post 1 by a concealed screw 38. To aline the screwholes in the collar and the post, the collar has a centring-pin 39. The container may be locked against movement by a screw 32, concealed in the head 3 of the post 1, which enters the liquid-outlet 28. An air vent 31 extends from the cap 25 to the interior of the container. The outlet nozzle 28, which is screwed into a lug 26 fitted into the cap 25, is surrounded by a loose sleeve 33 which is larger than the head of the nozzle so that the nozzle cannot be unscrewed by an ordinary tool. The container may be tilted manually by means of a handle 15 formed on a band 9 surrounding the container; or it may be tilted by means of a foot-lever 22 connected by rods 20, 21 to a disk 18 secured to one pivot of the band 9. The weighted plunger 27 which ejects the liquid slides on a U-shaped rod 29 and is formed in two parts. The lower part is threaded on the rod 29, and a button 29** is then attached to the rod. When the upper part of the plunger is attached to the lower part, the plunger is locked against its removal from the rod 29. The band 9 is split and the two abutting ends 10, 11 are secured by a screw 13, Fig. 4, inserted through apertures in the ends. Fig. 8 shows a tool having a socket wrench 40 to turn the screws 32, 38, a screwdriver 41 to turn the screw 13, and a spanner lug 44 to enter a hole 45 in the head of the nozzle 28.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Transporter Trollies or Load Carriers.
Inventor: PORTER JOHN ELFORD
IPC: B66C21/00
Filed: 1912-01-12
Granted: 1912-07-04
Abstract: 948. Porter, J. E., and Thomas, W. W. Jan. 12. Overhead travellers and transporters.-Relates to transpoiter trollies or loadcarriers, in which the trolly is carried on a suspended cable or rail and in which all the operations of raising, lowering, and traversing the load are controlled by a single hoisting-cable, and by stationary stops which may be permanently fixed or adjustable to different positions. The apparatus is so constructed that firstly the raising and then traversing result from an uninterrupted fall on the hoisting-rope, and secondly the traversing and then lowering result from an uninterrupted paying out of the same rope. Fig. 1 shows the trolly 4 running on the inclined cable-way 1 on which the stops 2, 2<1> can be clamped at convenient points. The load hook is suspended from a fall-block 10 supported by the hoisting-rope 14. The block 10 is furnished with lugs 13 capable of engaging with the pawl 18 and member 22 when it is desired to lock the block to the trolly for the purpose of traversing the load by pulling-in or paying-out the rope 14. At each end of its travel, the trollv is locked to one or other of the stops 2 or 2<1> by detents at the ends of the levers 45, 46. At the same time that one of these detents engages the appropriate stop, one of the levers 30 or 31 is actuated by contact with a part of the stop so as to operate the members 18, 22, by breaking the toggle-joints of which they form members, and thus to set free the fall-block 10. The action of the apparatus is as follows: assuming that the rope 14 is being payed out and the trolly is carrying a suspended load down the incline, the trolly is first locked to the stop by the lever 45, then by the action of the lever 30 the fall-block is released from the trolly and the load descends. On the rope 14 being hauled in, the blocks rises, the lugs 13 come into contact with a curved guide and push up the members 18, 22 until they engage with them and at the same time lift the levers 45, 46 so as to release the trolly from the stop. A continued pull on the rope 14 then transmits the trolly up the incline. At the upper end, the action is similar to that already described.

Inventor: LAMBERT HENRI LOUIS
IPC: B61C15/10
Filed: 1912-01-18
Granted: 1912-06-20
Abstract: 1420. Lambert, H. L. Jan. 18. Sand, distributing on wheel tracks.-In apparatus for sanding rails employing a mixture of sand and water, the pressure of the water is caused to open the valve. Steam or other compressed fluid may however be substituted for water. According to one arrangement, Fig. 1, the hinged flap g controlling the outlet of sand from the box b and normally retained in closed position by a counterweight g<1> is opened by a jet of water impinging thereon from a passage h leading from the main water-supply passage d. Nozzles k, k<1> embedded in the sand are connected by pipe i with the passage d. A small jet of water emitted from a further passage l serves to wash the valve and apparatus during sanding and, by reason of the emptying of the pipe i, after shutting off the water. Bars f form a grid at the mouth of the sand-passage e. In a modification, Fig. 3, the valve is opened by the pressure of the water acting on a spring-pressed piston n. Fig. 4 shows a valve suitable for use with such a sanding-device and comprising a valve q on the rod r which is prevented from rotation by feathers r' and is operated by a handle s<1> working on the screw-threaded end s of the rod. Packing t protects the screwthreads from water. The arrangement of the valve q is such as to permit the packing t to be remade when the cock is under pressure without fear of the rod r being forced out. A connexion u for supply to the sander and drain-pipe v are provided.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Means for Stopping the Delivery of Roving in Spinning Machines.
Inventor: SHARP JAMES RICHARDSON KEITH
IPC: D01H13/16
Filed: 1912-07-09
Granted: 1913-05-15
Abstract: 16,096. Sharp, J. R. K. July 9. Delivery, stopping.- When a thread breaks in a spinning-machine, the circuit of an electromagnet is closed by a feeler normally withheld by the intact thread, a lever being thereby released and operated by a weight to remove the roving to a groove in one of the feed-rolls and to move the roving longitudinally to withdraw it from the bite of the drawing-rolls. A feeler 18, Fig. 6, is lightly pressed by a spring 23 against the yarn and, upon breakage, is moved by the spring to close the circuit of an electro-magnet 42, Fig. 4. This attracts a lever 43 and withdraws a spring- bolt 39 from a lever 31, which is moved sideways by a spring to remove the roving into a groove of the feed-rolls 5, 6, and, in consequence of the slackening of the roving, a roll 60, around which the roving passes, is rotated by a spring, so that hackle pins 76 thereon engage the roving and withdraw it from the bite of the drawing-rolls. The movement of the lever 31 breaks the circuit of the electromagnets. During piecing, the feeler is retained by a spring-stop 24 in an inoperative position. In a modification, the roll 60 is dispensed with, the roving being withdrawn from the drawing- rolls by the swinging of the lever that moves it into the groove of the feed-rolls. The lever is normally held by means of the armature of the electro - magnet without the intervention of a spring bolt. The feeler is operated by a coil-spring and is connected with a short shaft carrying two projections or arms, which serve to close the circuit of the electro-magnet and to lock the feeler during piecing respectively
