THE KEARN8 MULTIPLE FBICHOK CALENDER. 



In this invention a series of pressure rolls are geared in ver- 

 tical alignment, driven at different speeds relative to the adjacent 

 roll, and arranged to fricnion with rubber a plurality of fabric webs. 



Referring to the illus- 

 tration, which is a verti- 

 cal section of the calen- 

 der. W designates one of 

 the side frames that 

 support the rolls B. C. 

 and D. 



A web of fabric /-, led 

 by guide rollers, passes 

 under the bank of rubber 

 stock"/-", and between the 



rolls B and C, where it ^____ 



is frictioned. and then 



wound up at G. At the same time another web of fabric H is 

 fed past the bank of rubber stock / and passes between the rolls 

 C and D, where it is frictioned and finally wound up at /. [John 

 Kearns. Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts, assignor to Fisk Rubber 

 Co., Chicopee Falls, -Massachusetts. United States patent No. 

 1,179.634.] 



Tubing M.miiixe Feed. A roll located in the feed hopper, 

 forces the material l)etween the convolutions of the stock worm. 

 (George F. Fisher, Plainfield, Xew Jersey, assignor to Morgan 

 &• Wright, Detroit, Michigan. United States patent No. 1,178,908.] 



Impro\-ed Tubing M.\chine He.\d for Insuj,.^ted Wire. A 

 tubing machine head is provided with a by-pass for the mate- 

 rial so that the machine can be quickly put in running condition 

 without disturbing the setting of the die. [Otto P. Houben, 

 Akron, Ohio, assignor to The B. F. Goodrich Co., a corporation 

 of Xew Vork. United States patent No. 1,180,399.] 



Vulcanizing Continuous Sheets. The sheets of unvulcanized 

 rubber are passed between an upper and lower series of relatively 

 staggered heating drums, and at the same time are dusted with 

 talc to prevent adherence to the drums. [E. T. Fenwick, attorney, 

 600 F street, N. W., Washington, D. C. British patent No. 

 4,139 (1915).] 



Machine for Inlaid Tiling or Sheeting. The different sheets 

 of rubber stock are passed around rollers equipped with dies, that 

 <:ut out the pattern mosaics, which arc then deposited on a suit- 

 able backing and the whole pressed and vulcanized. [E. T. Fen- 

 wick, attorney, 600 F street, N. W., Washington, D. C. British 

 patent No. 4,140 (1915).] A similar machine was illustrated and 

 described in The India Rubber World, June, 1915. and May, 1916. 



Double Spreading Machine. The fabric is proofed on one 

 side and passed under the steam-heated table where the solvent 

 is removed. It is then reversed, proofed on the other side and 

 passed over the steam-heated table, which assists evaporation 

 of the solvent. [A. Olier & Co., Clermont-Ferrand, France. 

 British patent No. 8757 (1915).] 



Industrial Truck Wheels. A solid tire construction adapted 

 for use with small wheels, consisting of side plates bolted to- 

 gether, and an annular band of metal embedded in the rubber 

 tire. [A. B. Williams & Co., Weaman street. Birmingham. Eng- 

 land. British patent No. 11,165 (1915).] 



Coagulating Latex Without Chemical or Mechanical 

 Agents. This invention consists in pouring the undiluted latex 

 into horizontally arranged shallow pans, forming a thin layer of 

 uniform thickness by exposing the latex to sun and air. [Julius 

 Schadt Medan, Sumatra. British patent No. 12,002 (1915).] 



Bearing for Washers and Mills. These are mounted on 

 the frames, without side pieces or brackets, and connected by 

 bolts of such tensile strength as to give way under an unusual 

 strain. [Deventer Ijergieterij en Machinefabrik and Reinout van 



Vlotcn, both of Deventer, The Netherlands. British patent No 

 13,776 (1915).]
