IPC: C08B37/14
Filed: 1910-02-28
Granted: 1911-02-28
Abstract: 5018. Greenwood, C. V. Feb. 28. Polishing-compositions. - Gummy or mucilaginous solutions obtained from vegetable products, seeds, barks, rhizomes, or extracts from any of these, are treated with solutions of tannic acid in any form to produce a mucilage, insoluble in cold water but soluble in hot water, useful as a base for polishes, owing to its property of emulsifying oils and waxes. The gummy solution may be obtained by treating the kernel of the locust bean, as described in Specifications 10,822/05, 569/08, and 19,768/09, [all in Class 121, Starch &c.], yielding gum tragasol. The gum is treated with tannic acid in the cold, and the product precipitates as a curd which agglomerates and shrinks and can be separated from the mother liquor. On warming, the material passes into solution in water. If less tannic acid is employed, the compound does not separate but is obtained in solution or emulsion.

Abstract: 9483. Huhn, G. April 19. Cleaning internally, rotary appliances for.- In a rotary turbine-driven cleaner, access of the actuating - fluid to the ball bearings is prevented, and a suction effect due to the passage of the actuating-fluid is utilized to draw lubricant through the bearings.

Abstract: 15,812. Goodhart, G. C. July 1. Spring motor-starting devices; clutches, arrangements and applications of.-A spring turning-gear for internal - combustion engines comprises a spring e mounted between and attached to a drum d and sleeve c, the drum and sleeve having flanges to enclose the spring. The sleeve through its flange c' is connected to the transmission gear w of the vehicle; it also carries a ratchet-wheel engaged by a pawl on a disk a fixed on the clutch shaft v of the engine. The disk has dogs b forming one part of the main clutch, the other part being carried by a sleeve r feather-keyed to the drum d and having ratchet teeth engageable by a fixed pawl y. To start the engine, the sleeve r is moved into engagement with the pawl y by the hand or foot actuated lever so that the main clutch is disengaged; the spring now turns the sleeve c and the engine through the pawl on the disk a, the movement continuing until a stop on or on a flange attached to the sleeve comes against a stop on the drum. The lever l is released, and springs t close the main clutch. The engine now drives the disk and drum and tightens the spring, the sleeve c being held up by the load, until the stops on the sleeve and drum again engage when the drive is solid. The one-way clutch between the sleeve c and disk a prevents unwinding of the spring when the main clutch is closed.

Abstract: 20,043. McCarty, R. J. Aug. 27. Radial-cylinder engines. - Relates to means for converting reciprocating into rotary motion, and vice versa, of the kind in which a number of pistons working in radially-arranged cylinders carry power-transmitting rollers directly contacting with a crank or eccentric on a central shaft, such eccentric being provided with a freely rotatable contact-ring, and the pistons with guide-rollers on each side of and co-axial with, the power rollers. The invention comprises the combination with means of this kind, of secondary rollers provided on each piston and encircled by a floating ring which maintains the power rollers in contact with the crank. The device is shown applied to an air-compressor, but is also stated to be applicable to steam or explosive engines &c. The pistons 18, are each formed with a pair of lugs 23, between which the power-transmission roller 26 is mounted upon an axle 25, which also carries guide-rollers 38 and pairs of secondary rollers 39, 40, a collar 43 pinned to the axle being provided at each end. The guide-rollers 38 co-operate with radial guides 16, between which the casting or main frame is recessed or cored out. The transmission rollers 26 are retained in contact with the cranked shaft part 30 by means of floating rings 42 encircling the secondary rollers 39, 40, which are spaced apart to accommodate a radial fin 41 on each of the rings. The cranked shaft 31 is provided with a freely rotatable ring 27 mounted upon a divided sleeve comprising two parts 28, 29 which are slipped into position and secured by a split pin 37 engaging grooves in the meeting faces of the two parts.

Abstract: 21,310. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, Bolton, R. A. R., and Willcocks, J. C. Sept. 13. Oil switches; sliding switch-carriage arrangements.-Oil switches of the sliding-carriage and fixed terminal-box type, having interlocks between the carriage, the switch-handle, the cover. and the oil-tank, are provided with a separate handle to slide out the carriage, and with stops to limit its movement so that the fixed terminals cannot be exposed. The sliding switch carriage d, Fig. 1, supports the oil-tank e, and the fixed and movable contacts g, g<1>, which are operated by a hand-lever g<2> through a crank and link arrangement. The cover h may enclose magnetic tripping or interlocking devices. The carriage also supports outside terminals f<1>, which, in the inward position of the carriage, engage with fixed terminals f in the separate box b. A separate pivoted handle m moves the switch in and out along guide-frames c, the movement being so limited by stops m<2> that the terminals f<1> do not come completely out of the openings in the face of the box b. To prevent the carriage from being moved outward while the switch is closed, a spring bolt is used, and is removed from a notch in the guide-frame by the act of opening the switch. At the end of the outward stroke, another notch prevents the return of the carriage unless the switch is open. The lid d<1> is locked while the carriage is in the inward position by means of eye-plates i<2> threading over fixed rods i, the bottom edge of the lid being held by hooks i<3>. When the lid is removed, a bolt is lifted by a spring j<2> so as to bring a hole in the bolt out of line with a lower fixed rod i<1>, and thus. prevent the return of the carriage while the lid is open. The oil-tank is locked against removal by bent lugs which, in the inward position of the carriage, rest on solid portions of the guide-frames, and in the outward position clear the frames or come opposite notches. A falling catch is also provided to prevent return of the carriage till the oil-tank has been replaced. The carriage may be fitted with measuring-instruments. Cable boxes may be bolted to the terminal box. Several boxes may be bolted together, and bus-bars taken through openings therein in order to form a complete switch-board.
