Title: Improvements in Distributing Valves for Pumps.
Inventor: ABENDROTH ARTHUR
Filed: 1903-10-28
Granted: 1904-10-27
Abstract: 23,373. Abendroth, A. Oct. 28. Pump valves.-Relates to distributing-valves for multiple-delivery pumps wherein the separate discharge pipes are closed by valves, which are successively released by cams upon a shaft controlled by the pump plunger in such a manner that the duration of time during which each of the pipes is opened corresponds with the quantity of liquid which is to be supplied by it, and consists in constructing the cams in such a manner that the ball valves are positively held upon their seats during the pressure stroke of the pump. The liquid passes from the pump cylinder a, Fig. 1<a>, through the pipe d into the discharge pipes e, each of which has a ball valve f adapted to be closed by rods such as g' having yokes i, through which passes the distributing shaft or spindle k. This spindle is caused to rotate through one-eighth of a revolution during each stroke of the piston. Fig. 2 shows an enlarged view of one of the yokes and cam gears. The cam l<1> serves to raise the rod g<1>, while the cam s<1> serves to depress it and to hold it in positive engagement with its seat. The construction of the cams l<1>, s<1> is varied according to the periods during which the valve is to be, respectively, opened and closed. In the modification shown in Fig. 9, a spring b is introduced in order to give a slight degree of flexibility to the yoke so as to prevent fracture. The invention is described in connection with a milkof - lime pump for supplying ammonia vessels.

Patent GB-190413330-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Knitting Machines.
Inventor: KEMP ARTHUR
Filed: 1904-06-13
Granted: 1905-05-11
Abstract: 13,330. Kemp, A. June 13. Circular knitting - machines. - In two - cylinder machines for making seamless ribbed hose with plain-knit heels, a means is provided for inserting extra wales of plain work into the heels at about the points at which fashioning commences. Before starting the back of the ankle, a change is made from, say, 3/1 rib to plain work by transferring half the needles of the upper cylinder. Of the needles that remain, the two outlying ones are transferred later, viz., at about eight courses prior to narrowing, and the consequent change from rib to plain stitch affords a slight fullness to the heel, as compared with the leg and foot. About eight courses after completion of narrowing, the specified two needles are transferred back to the upper cylinder, wherein they commence to knit ribs once more. The instep ribs running alongside the plainknit portions are thus broken, as shown at C, D, Fig. 1, and connected by plain wales. The mechanism employed comprises needle-transferring jacks 4, 18, Figs. 4 and 7, actuating-cams 7, 20, and cam-setting lever apparatus. The uppercylinder jacks 4 have extra-short butts 6 which are not acted on when the reduced end of the transferring-cam 7 deflects the rest of the needles into the lower cylinder previous to knitting the ankle. To act on the jacks 4, the cam is first shifted to the left, Fig. 4, by a moving lever, one end of which can be acted on by a stationary stop while the other end can press on the sliding camaxle 8. The stop is brought into play by patternchain mechanism. The spacified needles are transferred back to the upper cylinder by elevating corresponding jacks in the lower cylinder. These jacks 18, Fig. 7, are provided with extra-long butts 19 which can be acted on in common with the rest of the jacks by a wide end 20<b> of a pivoted camarm 20. When the cam 20 is turned, by ordinary stops on the machine, it presents an end which is sufficiently reduced in thickness to miss the ordinary jacks. The long-butted jacks are thereby raised sufficiently to transfer their needles. The Provisional Specification states that, in order to reduce the size of the toe as compared with the heel, certain of the needles are raised above the action of the knitting-cams so that no loops are formed thereon.

Granted: 1906-03-13
Abstract: 5255. Boudreaux, L. March 26, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Piston-rods; stuffing-boxes.-The Specification in its original form as published under the Act of 1901 states that an antifriction or self-lubricating metal or composition, suitable for piston-rods and stuffing-box packing, is formed by compressing into blocks metallic powder mixed with lubricating-materials such as graphite, lamp-black, stearin, paraffin, naphthalene, camphor, steatite, and other hydrocarbons, or oils or fats. The metal powder is prepared so that the particles have rough surfaces and may readily be agglomerated by pressure. Copper, tin, antimony, lead, and other metals may be obtained in the desired form by displacement from their solutions by zinc powder. Coarser powders, or pieces of zinc, may also be employed in the displacement, stirring and other suitable operations being employed to remove the displaced metal from the surface of the zinc. The powders may also be obtained electrolytically from their solutions, an apparatus with rotating cathodes and brushes being employed. Besides agglomeration into blocks by compression, the blocks may be also heated for welding by means of tin, lead, or zinc, less fusible metallic powders, such as copper, iron, or aluminium, or for forming an alloy like copperbronze, aluminium-bronze, or brass, zinc, or tin ; or for forming difficultly-obtainable alloys such as those of copper and lead or of iron and lead. These blocks may also be heated to get rid of volatile substance which might be introduced into the alloy to increase its porosity, so as to form a substance similar to spongy platinum. This subject-matter, does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Granted: 1906-05-10
Abstract: 13,011. Harvey, E. C. June 23. Starting and stopping; brakes.- The apparatus for screwing up nuts or bolts, driving screws, &c. described in Specification No. 3258, A.D. 1905, [Abridgment Class Metals, Cutting &c.], is improved by the addition of a yielding shaft coupling to prevent over-driving, combined with means for stopping the motor, which may be a steamengine. The flexible shaft c, Fig. 2, and the chuck c* carrying the bit or tool are connected to the sockets c<1>, c<2>, which are capable of rotation, but are held against' longitudinal movement in the casing d by studs d<1>, d' engaging annular grooves. In each of the.sockets c<1>, c<2> is mounted one end of the spting c<5>, forming a coupling which yields when the nut &c. is screwed home and the tool encounters greater resistance. The sleeve e has a quick screw-thread e' engaging a similar thread on the socket c<1>, and longitudinal grooves e<2> engaging feathers on the socket c<2>, so that, when the spring yields, the sleeve e moves towards the left, and engaging the inclined surface f<2*> of the block f<2> raises the barf, disconnecting the contactpieces f<3>, f<4> and breaking the circuit of the electromotor by which the apparatus is driven. The bar f can also be raided by means of the hand-switch f<5> and cam f Fig. 13 shows the modification for use when the motor is a steam-engine. When the coupling yields, the sleeve e bears against one arm of a bell-crank lever, the other arm of which is fixed to a wire in the flexible tube i'. The wire is fixed to the lever i, which operates the throttle valve of the engine and through the medium of the link i<2> and lever i<5> raises the detent i<5*>, whereupon the brake bands j is applied to the drum j<1> by the spring j<6>. The slot i<2*> in the link i<2> prevents the brake from being automatically applied until the throttle valve is nearly closed. In a modification, the sleeve e, Fig. 2, closes the circuit of an electro - magnet, the armature of which operates the throttle valve.
