Abstract: 1695. Thalimer, C. M. Jan. 22. Securing price tickets.-Attaching-means for price tags comprise a clip of springy wire, which has its shank bent under and secured to the tag, and the gripping-part bent up and spaced away so as to contact with the tag at its outer point, which point may be arranged to engage the fabric to which the clip is attached. The shank of the clip 2, shown in Figs. 1 and 3, passes through perforations 3 in the tag 1. The resilient portion 8 joints the shank to the looped part 7 in such a manner that the arms contact throughout their whole length with the fabric to which the clip is attached. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the shank 11 is embedded in the tag 12. The surface of the tag, or the arms of the clip, may be roughened to ensure a good grip. As shown in Fig. 7, the looped shank 14 is embedded in the tag 13, and the arms 15 are provided with fabric-gripping points 17. In some forms, the clip has a single shank arm and single gripping-arm acting similarly to the double forms.

Granted: 1911-03-30
Abstract: 9389. Pollatschek, M. April 18. [Addition to 28,494/04.] Single - acting bucket pumps for gritty and volatile liquids; suction pipes. - Comprises improvements in the pump described in the parent Specification, and consists in providing a double vessel at the bottom of the suction pipe so that sand can settle and d gases can escape. Means for flushing the sand from this receptacle are provided, and the bucket has more than one delivery valve. At the base of the cylinder 1 is situated a suction valve 3, below which is the double cylinder 6, 8 having perforations 7, 9 and a flushing - pipe 10. The petroleum or other liquid enters at the lower rows of the holes 9 leaving the upper rows free for the escape of vapours. The liquid in passing to the centre cylinder 6 deposits the sand or grit at the bottom thereof. The grit or solidified paraffin are scoured out by forcing a liquid, such as hot crude oil through the pipe 10. In a modification for use with liquids having a large percentage of grit, the flushing-pipe enters the cylinder 1 above the suction valve to flush the cylinder, as the sand will accumulate thereon since holes 7 in the cylinder 6 have to be omitted. The bucket also has several delivery valves in order that the accumulation of sand upon any one will not be sufficient to prevent the valve from rising on the delivery stroke. In another modification, the flushing-pipe passes down the bucket itself and terminates below the lowest delivery valve. In order to guide the bucket, a series of hard wood collars are supported by iron rings.

Expansible and segmental shoes; fixing; renewable calks.-A shoe formed in two sections, having inclined flanges to grip the walls of the hoof, is fixed to the hoof either by means of a lower shoe in one piece attached to the upper shoe by screw calks, or by means of a short base-plate similarly attached to the shoe across the point where the two sections abut. The sections may be hinged together. In one form, Figs. 1 and 2, the sections are hinged at the rear, abut at the front on the centre line, and are held together by means of a base-plate or lower shoe 3 with two front screw calks 4 and two rear screw calks 5. A pin 11 on the plate 3 engages a slot 10 in one of the sections, so that the shoe can be removed by unscrewing three of the calks and rotating the plate 3 about the fourth. The hoof-gripping flanges 7 may be formed with horizontal ribs 9 and with slits 8. In a modification, the butt joint is arranged slightly to one side of the centre line, a single front calk is used on the centre line, and a screw with a countersunk head replaces the other front calk. When a lighter shoe is required, a short base-plate is fixed across the toe only. In a further modification, Fig. 10, the hinge is dispensed with and the sections are held together by means of a base-plate with two rear calks 5 and a front calk 4 passing through overlapping parts of the sections.

Granted: 1912-02-22
Abstract: 4478. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, et Cie. March 18, 1910, [Convention date]. Regulating; multi-stage centrifugal pumps.- The delivery pressure of multi-stage pumps used for hydraulically operating gun-turrets, cranes, &c. is reduced during periods of light or no load by altering the connexion of a by-pass e of an automatic regulating-valve k. In one construction, the connexion of the by-pass e is moved from a low-pressure stage I to a higherpressure stage by means of hand or automatically operated valves d. The spring of the valve k is regulated so that, during times of normal load, the delivery pressure of the first stage is able to open the valve sufficiently. When the load is reduced, one of the valves d is opened, the valve d<1> closes automatically, and the corresponding connexion c supersedes the connexion c<1>. The valve k is thereupon closed until the delivery pressure of the stage selected is sufficiently reduced. In another construction, the by-pass is permanently connected to one stage of the pump, but the application of the pressure is changed from one to another of the operative surfaces of a stepped piston h,

Granted: 1912-05-10
Abstract: 11,289. Blake, L. J. B. May 10. Working-fluid supply. -In a turbine actuated by combustion products and provided with one or more sets of compression and explosion cylinders, each h compression cylinder is arranged above an explosion cylinder with their pistons connected by a common pistonrod, the pressure in the explosion cylinder being maintained by c o nnexion to an hydraulic accumulator or the like. The turbine 6 of a known kind is supplied with pressure fluid from explosion cylinders 10, 11 through nozzles 12, 13 and rotary valves 16, 17 which may be replaced by slide or piston valves. The valves are operated from the turbine by chain gearing, cams, or the like. Compression cylinders 19, 20 are provided with pistons 27, 28 connected to the pistons 25, 26 of the explosion cylinders which are connected above the pistons 25, 26 through pipes 41, 42 to an hydraulic accumulator of the dead-weight type or to a closed vessel containing water and a gas under pressure. The compression cylinders are supplied with explosive mixture through pipes 33 and two inlet valves, only one 22 of which is shown. The compressed mixture passes through valves 23, 24, pipes 34, 35, and valves 31, 32 into the explosion cylinders 10, 11 and is exploded by sparking plugs 37. In starting the turbine, the air in the cylinders 19, 20 is withdrawn by an auxiliary pump through cocks 51, 52 thus fitting the cylinders 19, 20 with explosive mixture. This is continued and the explosive mixture is forced by the auxiliary pump through auxiliary pipes and cocks 53, 54, or one of them, into an explosion cylinder 11. This is ignited and the explosion forces up the pistons 26, 28 and forces the mixture from the cylinder 20 into the explosion cylinder 10 where it is exploded and drives up the pistons 25, 27. The mixture is thus expelled from the cylinder 19 into the explosion cylinder 11 after the previous exploded charge has been admitted to the turbine through a by-pass valve 56. After the turbine has started, the valves 16, 17 admit the exploded charges to it.
