Inventor: SVEDBERG BJOERN
IPC: B28B23/02
Filed: 1999-06-24
Abstract: Magnetizable fibers dispersed in a viscous body, particularly reinforcing metal fibers dispersed in a wet cementitious material, is carried out by providing a fiber aligning member (15) having a nonmagnetic wall (17) including a first wall portion (17A) and a second wall portion (17B), moving the aligning member (15) relative to the viscous body with the first wall portion (17A) leading and the second portion (17B) trailing it and with the first and second wall portions (17A, 17B) contacting the viscous body, and directing a magnetic field into the viscous body through the first wall portion (17A) to subject the fibers (F) to a moving magnetic field. A device for performing the method comprises: a fiber aligning member (15) having a nonmagnetic wall (17) including a first wall portion (17A) and a second wall portion (17B); and a magnet device (18) disposed adjacent the first wall portion (17A) for directing a magnetic field into the viscous body through the first wall portion (17A), and a manipulating device (14) for moving the fiber aligning member (15) relative to the viscous body with the first wall portion (17A) ahead of the second wall portion (17B) and with the first and second wall portions (17A, 17B) contacting the viscous body.

Granted: 1897-11-13
Abstract: 21,350. Tuttle, H., and Tuttle, S. Sept. 17. Crank linkages for transmitting rotary motion from one shaft to another. Relates to improvements on the invention described in Specification No. 16,701, A.D. 1896. The invention is described in connection with a bicycle, of which A<2> is part of the frame, b the crank axle, and E the hub of the hind wheel. As shown in detail in Fig. 4, the hub is formed with two projecting crank cheeks e', at right-angles to each other, between which and other crank cheeks d<2> formed with screw axles d the crank-pins D are secured by means of interlocking lugs and the bolts D<2>. The crank axle b carries two wheels C, C<2>, each formed with three projecting arms fitted with friction rollers with which the gab ends of the A-shaped connecting- rods F, G are adapted to engage. The connecting- rods are each pivoted at the cross-bar upon a slide block I, working by means of ball bearings upon a a guide H secured to the frame member A<2>, so that the rotation of the cranks D causes the upper and lower gabs to alternately engage with, and be driven by, the arms of the wheels C, C<2>. In the modification shown in Figs. 16 and 17, this movement is produced by levers nt, M, and triangular cam-grooves formed in the wheels C, C<2>. In this case the axle of the hind wheel has, secured to its ends, dises D which rotate in eyes A<4> formed in the frame; the crank-pins d<2> may be secured directly to these discs, or may be adapted to move radially therein under the control of fixed elliptical cams.

Granted: 1898-08-06
Abstract: 9535. Wise, W. L., [Hurrell, J., and Hurrell, R. W.]. April 26. Safety suspending or retaining apparatus.-Two shafts 8 and 8<1> mounted in the well are fitted at intervals with projections 13, which are normally turned on one side out of the way of the cage. The shafts are fitted at the top with projecting arms 28 connected together by a spring which is normally prevented from rotating the shafts by trip levers 14, the outer ends of which engage with the arms 28. The inner ends of the levers 14 are connected to a governor 18 which, in the event of the rope breaking and the speed becoming excessive, lowers the outer ends of the levers 14, thus enabling the spring to act to rotate the shafts 8 and 8<1> and thus bring the projections 13 into the path of the cage to arrest it.

Title: Improvements in Means for Propelling Liquids, applicable for Use in the Propulsion of Vessels, the Pumping of Liquids, and the like.
Inventor: TATHAM EDWIN
Filed: 1898-07-07
Granted: 1899-09-07
Abstract: 14,976. Tatham, E. July 7. Direct explosive-gas pressure apparatus.-The action of the invention resembles that of the pulsometer. A charge of explosive mixture, being burnt in a combustion chamber, expels water therefrom by its expansion, which water is raised for storage or employed to propel ships. Fig. 1 shows the invention applied to the propulsion of a ship. Water enters the combustion chamber A through a valve C, and is expelled through the pipe B with some of the products of combustion by a charge of combustible gas and oxygen supplied from pumps to a mixing-nozzle e<2>. Fig. 6, and fired by an electrical igniter. The gas pumps and the electrical machine K and contact-breaker i are shown driven by a propeller k. The gas supply to the pumps is controlled automatically by adjusting the level of a liquid in the vessels D which acts on a float valve through which it passes. When used for raising liquids, the combustion chamber is situated in the crown of a siphon.

Title: Improvements in Wire Stapling Machines for Binding Books, Pamphlets, and the like.
Inventor: ANGUS GEORGE MACKAY
Filed: 1898-09-17
Granted: 1898-10-22
Abstract: 19,790. Lake, W. R., [Mackay, A. G.]. Sept. 17. Stapling. -Relates to machines for stapling books, pamphlets, &c. Fig. 7 shows a vertical section through the head of the machine, and Figs. 3 and 9 show details of the feed-mechanism. The staple wire h is fed by rolls O, O<1>, of which the roll 0<1> is carried by a lever Q and forced against the roll 0 by a spring r' acting on a stud r<2> in the lever. A lever S, swivelled at s and carrying a pin s<5> running in a cam-groove in the lever Q, serves to separate the rolls. The rolls are geared together by spur-wheels T, T<1>, and the shaft of the roll 0 carries a ratchet-wheel acted on by a pawl fixed to a loose wheel u<2>, Fig. 9, actuated by a toothed sector on a slotted bell-crank lever U adjustably connected by a sliding bolt W to another slotted bell-crank lever V actuated by a cam v<2>, Fig. 7, on the driving-shaft D. The wire h, Fig. 7, cut for a staple, rests in the jaws of the anvil H, being clamped therein by a spring-actuated rod i and released by a lever j. The anvil is carried by an arm pivoted at its upper end and held rigid during the bending by the lever K pivoted at k and provided with an arm k<4> resting against the driver F. The bending is effected by the jaws e' on the slide E actuated by the cam-groove e, and the inserting is effected by the piece f<1> carried by the slide F actuated by a crank-pin and connecting- rod f. A spring-actuated staple support L, with a downward and backward movement controlled by the pin m<1> and the pin m<3> in the slot l<2>, rests beneath the anvil. During inserting, the driver forces back the anvil, the groove k<5> receiving the pin k<4> to allow of this, and then forces back the staple support L, which first presses the work against its table C and then moves aside.

Abstract: 16,053. Apt, J. Aug. 5. Incandescent gas lamps.-In mantle3 of the kind described in Specifications Nos. 2000 and 14,448, A.D. 1896, damage to the mantle consequent on the liberation of free acid is prevented by first soaking the fabric in a solution of basic nitrates of the rare earths, and subsequently, while still moist, in so much arsenic or antimonic acid as corresponds in quantity to the free oxide contained in the basic nitrate. The solution of the basic salts is prepared by mixing, in the proportions of 1 to 2, an aqueous solution of commercial nitrate with freshly-precipitated and well-lixiviated thorium hydrate, the mixture being then heated, (preferably in tubes closed by sealing or fusion), at a temperature varying between 140‹ and 150‹ C.
