Abstract: 2258. Turner, A., Turner, W. E., and Howarth, W. Jan. 29. Pressing.-In apparatus for pressing hats, the mould for the crown is made with separately-fitting brim-shaping portions, and with a separate supporting-flange having a curved face to avoid damage to the pressure bag. The crown mould a is fitted with a matrice a' for shaping the brim, and rests by means of a ledge d<x> on a separate supporting flange b. The rim b<2> on this flange is formed with rounded edges and corners to receive the usual pressure bag e, fitted in a cover d which is lowered over the mould. For hats in which the brim is broader at the back and front than at the sides, portions of the rim b<2> may be removed. The matrice may be made in two parts a', a<2>, Figs. 4 and 6, connected by pegs h, which 'are inserted into holes in one arm of a rightangled plate f hinged to one of the matrices and having its other arm resting on the mould a. The matrice may be held on the mould a by pegs, and may be made of the cross-section shown in Fig. 8.

Title: Improvements in Methods of Filling Vessels with Volatile Liquids, of Emptying the same & of Recovering the Vapour Contained in Liquid Form.
Inventor: PARR TOM DIXON
IPC: B65D90/30
Filed: 1913-10-14
Granted: 1914-10-14
Abstract: 23,150. Parr, T. D. Oct. 14. [Cognate Application, 6981/14.] Volatile liquids, recovering. - Vapours of volatile liquids such as petrol are recovered. during the transference of these liquids from vessel to vessel for purposes of sale, by withdrawing the displaced vapour or mixture of air and vapour by means of a compressor or exhauster, and by afterwards condensing the vapour or absorbing it in oil &c. or by both these methods. When a tank steamer or other large container is emptied of vapour by means of a steam ejector, the resulting mixture of air, steam, and vapour is passed first through a condenser to liquefy the steam and a portion of the vapour, and then through a liquid separator, the remaining vapour being recovered by the process set forth above. In filling a petrol-can b, Fig. 1, by means of a pipe c from a store tank a, the vapour in the can is collected by a cap f and led back to the tank a by a pipe d. In one form of recovery plant, shown in plan in Fig. 3, the vapour entering by a pipe g is compressed by a pump h first into a water cooler j, and then into a brine cooler l, the condensed liquid being collected in a jacketed or otherwise cooled reservoir m. The remaining air may be expanded in a cylinder coupled with the compressor, or used after expansion for cooling the brine in the tank l. A gas-holder is used for storing vapours when the recovery plant is not working. By leaving a portion of the vapour in the air, a gas mixture is obtained for heating, lighting, or power purposes. In emptying a vessel before it is repaired, or in washing it out, the positions of the vessel b and cap f shown in Fig. 1 are reversed, and provision is made for the drainage of the liquid to a receiver. Air that is circulated through the recovery plant is used for removing the liquid remaining in the vessels.
