Title: Improved Method of and Apparatus for Treating Rubber Waste and the like.
Inventor: GUBBINS RICHARD RUSSELL
Filed: 1905-02-08
Granted: 1905-11-02
Abstract: 2575. Gubbins, R. R. Feb. 8. India-rubber waste, utilizing.-A method of treating rubber waste consists in filling a tank with the disintegrated waste, saturating it with an acid or carbonizing-fluid, heating the contents of the tank to boiling-point, filling a second tank with rubber waste, heating it, transferring the liquid in the first tank to the second tank, and continuing the boiling, filling the first tank with water and boiling the same, adding an alkali, drawing-off the water, and removing the treated waste, and continuing the operation. The process may be carried on in tanks A, B provided with steam heating-coils E, and connected by ropes F, so that when one is raised the other is lowered, liquid being run from one into the other. The tanks may be raised in succession by means of a travelling crane or by floating them on pontoons in wells. A well C is provided, into which the acid may be run when it is required to empty the tanks.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Ring and Traveller Spinning and Twisting.
Inventor: MCCOARD THOMAS
Filed: 1905-11-14
Granted: 1906-11-14
Abstract: 23,349. McCoard, T., and McCoard, J. Nov. 14. Spindle apparatus, ring and traveller. The traveller ring is constructed with a number of segmental plates 2 carried by pivoted curved arms 1 controlled automatically so as to expand the ring as the diameter of the cop, which is built up in cylindrical layers, increases, thereby obviating excessive strain on the yarn when winding on the small diameter. The arms 1 are pivotally secured by pins 7 in slots in pins 3, which are mounted in a fixed ring 4 and a ring 5 secured to the ring 4, and a spring 8 applied to each arm keeps the plate 2 down on the adjacent plate. The traveller ring is expanded by means of a rotatable ring 9 carrying pins 10 engaging arms 11 extending through the pins 3, a rod 13 carried from the ring rail 15, connected by a cord 12 to the ring 9, and rotated slowly by means of a train of gear from some driven part of the machine, or by ratchet gear, or other suitable means, serving to rotate the ring 9 as the cop is built. A spring cord 16 detachably secured to a bracket 18 serves to return the ring 9 and contract the traveller ring when the rod 13 is returned. The plates 2 may be flat, curved, or angular, and the bearing surface of the traveller may be extended to run smoothly over the built-up ring. According to the Provisional Specification, the rod 13 is operated by a cam, wedge, or equivalent such as a crank, the position of the cam &c. being regulated by the ordinary movement of the ring rail ; the spring cord 16 may be replaced by a counterweighted cord ; the segmental plates may lie at any angle to the diameter of the ring ; the arms 1 may be pivoted to a ring plate fixed to the ring rail, being operated to expand the traveller ring by a movable ring having holes or slots engaging the arms and moved relatively to the ring plate, preferably from the ring rail mechanism.

Inventor: MALLORY ROLAND HAWLEY
Filed: 1905-12-12
Granted: 1906-06-14
Abstract: 25,856. Mallory, R. H. Dec. 12. Tickts, issuing.- A holder from which a single railway or like ticket may be withdrawn by a wipe of the thumb is shown in plan in Fig. 1 and in section in Fig. 2. The tickets are held between a leaf spring 4 and spring projections 5 on a slidable lid, and the top one can be slid over the end wall 20 of the case. This end wall is highest in the middle, as shown in Fig. 2, and has two vertical ribs 10, Fig. 1, which retain 'the stack of tickets and prevent the withdrawal of more than one at a time. One ticket is shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2. This construction may be modified by widening the spring projections 5 of the cover, and by altering the shape of the end wall 20. Fig. 3 shows in plan a different construction, in wich the stack is held by the bent ends 15 of the sides, instead-of by the ribs 10, Fig. 1, and in which springs 7 replace the projections 5 'of the cover. In this form, a leaf'spring 6 is carried by a hinged cover which constitutes the bottom. Projections 8 are provided to take the pressure of the leaf spring 6, and the bent ends 15 are cut away at the top to leave space for the withdrawal of a ticket from under the yielding springs 7. The projections 8 may be replaced by ears bent from the edges of the thumb-opening 2. This construction can be made from two blanks, for the lid and casing respectively ; the latter is shown in Fig. 8.

Title: Improvements in Exhaust Silencers for Explosion Motors.
Inventor: CAVE-BROWNE-CAVE HENRY WILMOT
Filed: 1905-12-30
Granted: 1906-09-20
Abstract: 27,289. Cave, H. W. Cave -Browne-. Dec. 30. Exhaust silencers.-Exhaust gases are silenced by cooling, and in some cases by causing the outlet orifice to rotate. The gases are passed through a helical tube 2, which is corrugated or star-shaped in cross-section and has flanges 8. The silencer may be mounted on ball beariugs on the exhaust pipe, and be rotated from the motor, or, if on a vehicle, by the action of the air, in some cases assisted by the reaction.of the issuing gases. The outlet of the silencer may be fitted with a cowl in order that the air may have an ejector action on the exhaust. A cup-leather is inserted at 9. A non-rotated silencer is attached to the exhaust pipe by a flange joint, and the exhaust pipe is prolonged a short distance beyond the flanges into the helical pipe. Before entering the helical pipe, the gases may be admitted, preferably through several pipes, nto a corrugated expansion chamber 12, which ends in a taper portion by which it communicates with it he helical pipe.

Abstract: 10,056. Concannon, S. April 30. Obstruction-removers.-A car lifeguard applicable to automobiles or other mechanically - propelled vehicles is shown in its operative position in Fig. 1, and partly folded in Fig. 3. Brackets 15 on the vehicle carry cross-bars 19, 20, in which are journaled barrels having arms 25 which are joined by cords 26. The arms are arranged at such heights that the impact of an obstruction, by forcing the cords inwards, causes the arms to cross over as shown in Fig. 3, so that the body is gripped between the two sets of arms and the cords.
