Abstract: 6024. Oliver, E. March 11. Tyres, elastic, special apparatus for making.- Tyres are filled with a composition which is normally solid and resilient, but which becomes viscous when subjected to mechanical friction and heat, in which state it is forced into the tyre and afterwards allowed to solidify. The composition is formed by heating and stirring gilsonite with blown cotton-seed oil, or corn or other vegetable oil, and adding flowers of sulphur, copper oxide, zinc oxide, and whitening, which may be in the following proportions:-- Cotton-seed or equivalent oil 77 lb., gilsonite 11 lb., flowers of sulphur 14¢ lb., copper oxide 1¢ lb., zinc oxide 3 lb., and whitening 3“ lb. After being mixed, the material is heated until of the proper consistency and then. allowed to solidify by cooling. An apparatus for subjecting the material to friction and for forcing it into the tyre comprises a vessel 5, into which lumps of the solid material are introduced, fitted with a rotating screw 15 of gradually diminishing pitch. The composition is forced in a viscous state through a tube 8 into the tyre or tyre cover 2. The end thrust of the screw is taken by disks 17, 18 with an interposed disk 19 fitted with antifriction balls. An arrangement for loading the tyre during the filling process and for indicating the internal pressure comprises a pivoted beam 31 carrying an adjustable weight 34, and a plate 35 pivoted to the beam and bearing on the tyre. The plate 35 is fitted with loose members 37, Fig. 3, bearing on curved parts of the tyre and attached to springs 36, 38 which tend to draw the members towards one another along a scale 37<1> as the plate is raised by the internal pressure. A valve fitted to the pipe 8 to control automatically the supply to the tyre comprises a piston 24, Fig. 5, fitted with an apertured plate 25 normally held in the open position by a spring 29. When the supply to the tyre is cut off the material may be diverted through an outlet 9. Hand-operated valves 22 in the pipes 8, 9 are provided.

Granted: 1914-03-25
Abstract: 7133. Kinvall, H. March 25. Boot-sole sewing machines; fair-stitching; lock-stitching by shuttles.-The hook needle and awl are driven by constantly rotating eccentrics and the take-up by a crank and links, and the constantly rotating shuttle makes the same number of revolutions as the main shaft. After the needle has drawn the thread through the hole previously pierced by the awl, the awl immediately pierces the work, feeds the latter while the thread is being drawn over the shuttle, and leaves the work again at that moment when the take-up sets the stitch. The shuttle 61, Fig. 11, works in a track 63 closed by a ring 62 and is driven with the required variation in speed by a shaft 64 which is connected to a uniformly rotating shaft 67 out of line with it by a crank-disk and link connexion 65, 66, 68. The shaft 67 is driven by a gear 70, Figs. 4 and 13, on the main shaft 14. This gear is loose on its shaft, but is clutched to the needle-driving eccentric 15 by a spring-pressed pin 72, so that if the machine jams the pin is pushed out and the gearing is no longer driven. The bobbin case 75 is held by a guide controlled by a pivoted hand-lever. The loop-spreader 86, Fig. 2, is carried by a bell-crank 90 pivoted at 89 and actuated by a link 91 connected to the lever 92 of an eccentric on the main shaft. The linkage is arranged to rock the spreader twice during each cycle of operations. Presser-fect.-The presser-foot 78 is carried by a lever pivoted at 79 and having a roller 81 engaged by a wedge-shaped slide 82. The slide 82 is operated by a cam-actuated lever 85 and link 83. Needles, driving.-The needle 4, Fig. 3, is clamped in a pivoted holder 3 having a forked end engaged by a roller 8 on an arm 7 pivoted to the frame at 6 and connected by a link 9 to an arm 11 pivoted at 10. The arm 11 is actuated by the sleeve 13 of an eccentric 15. The needle is given a slight dip at the top of its stroke. Perforating-devices.-The awl 20 is clamped in a holder 18 pivoted on a pin on the feedslide 16 and having a forked end engaged by a roller 22 on an arm 23 pivoted at 10. The arm 23 is actuated by an eccentric strap 25. The jaws of the holder 18 are so shaped that the awl remains vertically stationary for the feed for a comparatively long period. Governing needle thread.-Two take-up arms 52, 59, Figs. 1, 2 and 15, are provided. The arm 52 is carried by a shaft 49 actuated by a crank-pin 43 on the main shaft through connexions comprising a bell-crank 47 and an arm 48. The take-up 59 pivoted at 58 is actuated by an eccentric on the main shaft connected to it by a bell-crank 56 and link 57. The takeup devices operate to set the stitch as the awl leaves the work after having pierced the second hole. Needles, hook, threading-devices for. - A needle-threading device as described in Specification 20,671/13 is provided.

Abstract: 10,823. Lorrain, J. G., [Menck, L. 0., and Ballantyne, W. J., (trading as Aerated Water Machinery Co.)]. May 7. Dispensing liquids.-Relates to apparatus for drawing-off aerated waters, and consists in apparatus whereby aerated water and syrup are drawn off independently and simultaneously through separate channels by the movement of a single tap handle, to be delivered to, and mix in, the glass or other receptacle. A tap A arranged under the counter is connected by pipes B', C' to a syrup vessel B and a carbonator C, the liquids being fed by pressure from a carbonic-acid cylinder D. The vessel B has a sight glass B' mounted in sockets held in position by tubular bolts, and has ontlet pressure and safety valves B<10>, B<9>, B<11>, the outlet pipe reaching nearly to the bottom of the vessel. The carbonator has a mixing-device with a handle C<4>, and a sight-glass C<5>, while its connecting-pipe may pass through a cylinder C<6> in an ice-box C<7>. The syrup may alternatively be placed for a gravity feed. The tap A has an actuating- handle A<3> which turns a rotary valve A<1> to disconnect a passage A normally connecting pipes A<5>, A<6> in the soda-water supply passage. The pipe A<6> leads to a chamber A<7> which has a spring-pressed outlet valve A<10> normally held closed by pressure of soda-water in the vessel A<7>, but opened on release of the pressure to discharge the contained soda-water into the glass through ports A<14>. The pressure is released after the supply passage is closed by a tappet arm A<16> pressing the spindle of a spring-pressed snifting valve A<15>, which thereby opens a pipe a<1> to atmosphere. The syrup valve A<4> is also operated by the arm A<16> to connect pipes b, b<1>, the passage being regulated by a screw B<14>, the syrup being discharged direct into the glass. The arm A<3> may be replaced by a vertical swing- ing arm having a cam to press down normally and open a reciprocating soda-water valve, and cams to operate the snifting valve and syrup valves, two of these being provided leading from different containers, the swinging of the handle one way or the other giving the syrup required. In both constructions the last movement of the handle opens the syrup valve, so that soda-water alone may be dispensed.

Granted: 1914-12-03
Abstract: 3923. Smith, J. P., Rhodes, C., and Harrison, W. Feb. 16., [Cognate Application, 6471/14.] Bobbins and carriages.-Relates to improvements in cop carriages having the thread supply in the form of a thin flat disk. The. upper half of the edge or rim of an internal annular recess B in the carriage A is cut away on one side, except at two points B<1>. The cop D is carried between two concave plates or covers E, the edges of which are brought together and placed in the recess B. Two gaps E<1> formed in these edges are brought in register with the projections B<1>, after which the plates E are turned to secure them in place. One cover may be fixed to or formed integrally with the carriage. The thread C, which may be drawn from the interior as shown, or from the exterior of the cop, is taken through a thread eye A<3> and round a pin F situated in a recess A<1> to a thread eye A<2>. The pin may be formed with a coarse screw-thread for the thread to lie in, or the same result may be attained by twisting two lengths of wire together to form a single pin with a spiral path. For convenience in threading, one end of the pin may be free, the free end being protected by housing it in a recess A<4>, Fig. 4. A sleeve or pulley H may be mounted on the pin, and tension is then put on the thread by checking the rotation of the sleeve by a spring &c. The thread tension devices described may be used in connexion with bobbin carriages. In a modified form, an incomplete ring J, Fig. 5, is employed to hold the two plates E apart and to hold one of them permanently in position. The space between the ends of the ring is situated at the top of the carriage so as to provide an uninterrupted passage for the thread. The ends of the ring are pointed and project outwardly into recesses A<5> in the carriage. A thin flat detachable tension spring K is situated between the fixed cop D and one cover E, and the thread is passed round a cylindrical part K<4> in the head K<1>, Fig. 10. The end! of the head K<1> fit between the ends of the spacing-ring J. The part K<4> may be omitted, and the spring is then adapted to nip the thread. In another modification, one plate E has a central pin L, Fig. 11, on which the cop D c a n rotate, or the cop can be wound on a sleeve &c. L' which is mounted on the pin. The thickness of the cop and the space between the plates E are so adjusted that the cop is firmly held between theplates, which thus act as a brake. This tension arrangement compensates to some extent for the diminution of the cop due to unwinding. The tension may be increased by introducing metal or paper disks. The pin L may be constructed to form a spring or be fitted with a spring which acts as a brake on the interior of the sleeve. The sides of the cop may be strengthened by paper disks secured by an adhesive that will not interfere with the unwinding of the thread.
