Abstract: 8145. Field, J. H. April 9. Covers and roofs, cart, wagon, van, and like ; hoods.-An adjustable cover for lorries, wagonettes, and other vehicles consists of waterproof canvas or other material A, Fig. 3, stretched over tranverse arched ribs B, and adapted to be drawn out or closed up accordion fashion. For this purpose, eyes G are formed at the tops of the ribs B or in the top of the cover, and are arranged to slide on a rod H secured in sockets B<2> by bolts H<1>, the sockets B<2> being formed at the top of end frames B<1>. These end frames slide in tubes E and are fixed at any height therein by screws F, Fig. 2, or by pins passing through the tubes E and uprights B'. The tubes E fit into sockets C attached to the frame of the vehicle. The cover is open or closed by pulling an endless cord I, Fig. 3, which is attached to the front of the cover and passes through eyes J or round pulleys J<1> secured to the end frames B'. The cover, when open, is secured to the tubes E and to hooks or buckles L by straps K. An arrangement is provided for gathering up the sides of the cover, consisting of cords M which pass over pulleys 0 and through eyes N fixed to the cover and are connected to the bottom of the cover. The cover is held in the drawn-up position by tying to tabs P. End-pieces A<1> of canvas may be provided, and a hood A<2> formed by stretching the material over a frame B<3> connected to the front sliding rib. The Provisional Specification states that the height of the cover may be adjusted by sliding the ends of the rod H in grooves formed in vertical end-plates, and also that additional support for the cover may be provided by forming a number of sliding ribs with legs having enlarged ends at the bottom which slide in channels formed in longitudinal plates fixed to the framing.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Caustic Alkalis or Analogous Hydrates.
Inventor: STUCKLE HENRY WILLIAM DE
Filed: 1904-12-27
Granted: 1905-12-21
Abstract: 28,433. Stuckle, H. W. de. March 22, [date applied for under Patents Act, A.D. 1901]. Alkaline and alkaline-earth hydrates; zinc sulphide.-Alkaline hydrates are obtained by causing zinc to react on alkaline sulphides in presence of alkaline hydrates. Granular or divided zinc is dissolved in alkali in a closed metal vessel, iron filings being added if desired to facilitate the solution of hydrogen. The alkaline sulphide is then gradually added, while the vessel is suitably heated, the contents being agitated. The hydrogen assists in the formation of finely-divided zinc sulphide, which may be used as a pigment. An example is given in which sodium hydrate and sulphide are employed. Hydrates of alkaline-earth metals, such as barium, may be obtained similarly.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Hydraulic Percussive Drills and the like.
Inventor: BELDIMAN ALEXANDER
Filed: 1906-12-04
Granted: 1907-05-16
Abstract: 27,636. Beldiman, A. Dec. 4. Rock drills ; deep-boring.-In an hydraulic percussive drill of the class having a hollow reciprocating chisel and a hollow piston-rod, and wherein a portion of the motive fluid passes through the rod and chisel for rinsing purposes, the tool is arranged so that no external pipes are in the way of -the tool, this being effected by supplying the water through the shank 13, on which the body 11 of the tool may slide in case any resistance is encountered, and by arranging the feed-pipes within the piston and concentrically surrounding the piston-rod. In the tool shown in Figs. 1 and 2, which has a removable cover 11<a>, water passes down the channel 21 and is connected by an annular channel alternately with the chambers 26, 28 by a slide valve 33, which also, through ports 29, 43 alternately connects the chambers with the exhaust. The upper chamber 26 communicates by a tube 24 with the lower end of the piston 16, Fig. 2, and the lower chamber by a tube.25 and ports 27 with the upper end of the piston. The hollow piston-rod 17, which is connected to the hollow chisel with spray-diffusers 45, has ports 44 through which-the rinsing-water from the channel 21 and chamber 22 passes. The slide valve is actuated by a lever 35, operated by a sleeve 41, which is mounted so as to strike abutments 40 on a sleeve which is carried between springs 37, 38 on a rod fixed to the piston-rod. The fluid passing through the pistonrod may be utilized for motive-power by putting in the rod just above the ports 44 in the upward position a piston fixed to the main body 11. In the tool shown in Fig. 7, the upward stroke is performed as in the first tool, and the downward stroke by a spring 48. The piston-rod 17 has a head 55 to slide in the hollow chisel, and is surrounded by the springs 48, which abut against a fixed plate 50 and a cap 49 on the chisel end. The chisel is held up, when the piston is moving downwards, by two shouldered pivoted arms 53 which have their upper ends pressed inwards by springs 54, until they are moved apart by the bevelled end of a slide 51 on the piston-rod. The rinsing-water may be fed as in the first form of tool, or the lower end of the piston-rod may be solid, the channels 21 extended, and an annular channel 57 arranged to feed the water through ports 58. Rinsing-water also acts as a working agent by acting against the head 55. The apparatus has a removable casing.
