Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Heating or Cooling Oil or other Viscous Liquids.
Inventor: WEIR JAMES GEORGE
IPC: F23K5/20
Filed: 1909-10-30
Granted: 1910-10-31
Abstract: 25,032. Weir, J. G. Oct. 30. Concentric straight-tube apparatus.-Oils or other viscous liquids are heated or cooled while being passed through annular spaces of decreasing or increasing area, the method being particularly applicable to the cooling of lubricating-oil, or to the heating of liquid fuel. The apparatus consists of a shell 1 containing a series of co-axial tubes 2, 3, the inner tubes 3 being attached to tube-plates 4, 5 and the outer tubes to tube-plates 6, 7. When the apparatus is used as a cooler, the liquid to be cooled enters the chamber 16, passes up the tubes 2 connected to this chamber, in this case four in number, and enters the chamber 17, whence it passes through a series of six tubes into the chamber 19. After leaving this chamber, it passes successively through series of twelve and sixteen tubes and connected chambers, and finally leaves at 8. The chambers are formed in the spaces between the tube-plates by partitions 18, 22, 25. The cooling-medium enters at 10, and, by reason of the partition 24, passes up the inner tubes 3 into the chamber 12, and thence into the chamber 13, which is connected by a pipe 14 to the outer casing 1. After passing around the tubes 2, the medium leaves the casing at 15. When used for cooling oil in a lubricating-system, a spring by-pass valve 23 is arranged for use at starting when the oil does not require cooling.' The apparatus may be used as a heater, in which case the liquid is passed through in the opposite direction.

Inventor: MUELLER EDUARD FELIX
IPC: B31B29/00
Filed: 1909-11-12
Granted: 1910-07-28
Abstract: 26,285. M³ller, E. F. Nov. 12. Paper bags, making.-Relates to a machine similar to that described in Specification 29,366/06, for making square-bottomed paper bags. Paper from a roll is formed in the usual manner into a tucked tube, which is fed by rollers 8, 9, Fig. 11, to the cutting-mechanism 41, 42 and the rotary drum 43. At the moment the tube is cut, its front end is seized by grippers 44, and the rear end of the part cut off is spread into box-like form by the rotation of tongues 45, 46 which have previously entered the folds of the blank. The blank is next carried to the flap-forming device, where the box is spread out into diamond shape by fingers 71, 72, Fig. 14, the closing-member being cut at the same time by a reciprocating cutter 95 carried by the finger 72. These fingers rock within a casing 74, and, in addition, the finger 71 reciprocates along a rail 81 to spread one flap, the other flap being spread by the movement of the drum beneath the finger 72. The bottom next passes under a smoothing-roller 101, Fig. 11, and a gumming-roller 102 and then passes to the flap-holder. Spring-pressed fingers 106, Fig. 26, bear against the flap on the folding-line, and a plate 107 engages the flap and folds it over the fingers. The fingers 106 are withdrawn from beneath the flap, which is then pressed by means of a segment 135, Fig. 11. The fastening-flap is folded by means of an arm 137, Fig. 31, pivoted to the drum 43, which folds it over a rotating folding-plate 143, which may also press the folded flap as well. The folded bottom is now pressed by a rotating segment 151, Fig. 36, and a guide 152, and the bag is removed from the drum 43 by fingers 174 and grippers 176 on a delivery drum 175 and carried from the machine by conveyer bands 197 to the conveyer 202.

Title: Improvements in the Mode of and Apparatus for Attaching Measurement Tapes to Trimmings, Lace and other Textile Fabrics, and other Piece Goods.
IPC: D06H1/04
Filed: 1909-12-07
Granted: 1910-12-07
Abstract: 28,589. Debenhams, Ltd., and Holder, H. Dec. 7. [Cognate Application, 13,795/10.] Sewing-machines; cords and the like, attaching; feed by dog; feed by rotary devices.-A measurement tape is secured to trimmings, lace, and other textile fabrics by a sewing-machine which is adapted to secure the tape by groups of stitches at intervals. In one apparatus, the fabric is delivered to the machine b, Fig. 4, from guide-rollers l, m, and is drawn through by feed-rollers t, u. The roller u has a cam v, which intermittently separates the rollers and stops the feed. While the rollers are stationary, the sewing-machine, hitherto inoperative, is driven by a segmentally-toothed wheel, and a group of stitches is made. The work at this time is fed by an ordinary feed-dog 50. The sewing ceases when the rollers t, u commence to feed again, and a spring 12 raises the needle from the fabric. A projection on the needle-bar engages with the presser-bar, and lifts that also. The spool-holder c carrying the tape has one side hinged and pressed on to the side of the tape roll by a spring. The tape is guided on to the work through a slot in the presser-foot. In an alternative apparatus, the sewing- machine is driven continuously, but the needledriving shaft is connected to the driving-shaft through a clutch, which is alternately opened and closed by a cam on the end of one of the feed-rollers. The feed-rollers are driven by a pawl and ratchet-wheel; the pawl being carried by a rod receiving motion from an eccentric on the driving-shaft of the sewing-machine. The rollers are separated during the stitching by a cam. When the clutch is opened to disconnect the needle-bar, a rod is also actuated which removes the spring-pressure from the needle thread tension wheel. The tape in this apparatus passes through a guide attached to the tape-spool holder.

Tabular calculators.- Relates to ready-reckoning apparatus of the band type in which there is a fixed external casing bearing a pointer and a scale for one argument, and within it a cage containing a number of tables upon flexible adjustable bands mounted upon rollers and displaying each a row of numerals through a slot, the cage being rotatable so as to bring any desired slot against the scale and pointer. Fig. 6 shows an arrangement for four tables upon two long bands E and two short bands E', of which the long bands are mounted upon pairs of rollers A<10>, A<11>, and the shorter bands upon pairs A<12>, A<13>. The outer casing C has a single sighting position D, while two sighting slots with their scales D<3> are carried on the cage opposite each pair of bands. The slotted pointer L and the spring-controlled detent K' are both pivoted and connected by link-work in order that they may be turned back together before the cage is rotated. With regard to the other argument, the various rollers are intergeared for rotation by the handle J<5>, Fig. 4, mounted upon the end of the cage and provided with a screw and nut arrangement for moving a reading pointer J<6> over a spirally-arranged scale for the second argument. The gearing between the rollers may be such as to rotate them in the same or reverse directions according to the manner of winding the bands. Fig. 11 shows a handle P<4> for direct rotation of the band roller A, the roller spindle P of which is surrounded by a sleeve P<1> connected to a transmission wheel P<3> and also carries a nut R, which, owing to the dragging action of a loose ring R', is caused to work itself along the screwed portions of the spindle until it is locked either to the roller A or to the transmission wheel.
