PROCESS PATENT. 



METHOD OF MAKING DOUBLE TEXTURE FABRICS. 



The manufacture of double texture fabrics is a particularly ditfi-. 

 cult process when one of the fabric layers is thin or loosely 

 woven, as is the case with mohairs employed in automobile tops. 



According to tlie usual 

 method, the pressure nec- 

 essary to efTect proper 

 adhesion results in forc- 

 ing the solution through 

 the thin fabric so that it 

 appears on the face; 

 morever, the pressure 

 mats down the surface 

 and destroys the mill 

 finish of the goods. 

 These ditificulties are provided against by the present method, 

 which is described in connection with the accompanying; illustra- 

 tion of a spreading machine. 



From the supply roll A, the fabric B passes under tlie spread- 

 ing knife C, which distributes a thin coating over the upper 

 surface. The fabric then passes around the drying table D, and 

 down and around idler rollers H to a second spreader F that 

 applies to the coated surface a thin film of highly adhesive rubber 

 solution. Before this is dry the fabric is passed under pressure 

 roller G, where it meets and is superposed by the face fabric H 



fed from supply roll /. The double fabric then travels around 

 a guide roller /, the heated drum A.' and the guide roller L. to 

 the tensioned wind up roller ,1/. [James Meade. Stoughton, 

 Massachusetts. United States patent No. 1,199,400.]

MISCELLANEOUS PATENTS. 



TOY BALLOON VALVE. 



A device for closing the air or gas inlet to toy balloons, punch- 

 ing bag, or football bladd'ers, and other inflatable articles of rub- 

 ber, is the subject of this invention. This metal closure device 



is made in one piece, comprising 

 two fiat plates positioned one 

 over the other and joined at one 

 end, forming the mouth-piece. 

 The free end of the lower plate 

 is formed into a ' pocket, into 

 which the flange provided at the 

 end of the upper plate may be 

 depressed. The neck of the de- 

 flated balloon or bladder is slipped 

 between the two plates and 

 through the mouth-piece, over 

 which it is lapped. As soon as 

 the article is inflated the plates 

 are compressed, forcing the neck 

 of one into the pocket of the 

 other, and thereby closing the air 

 passage. [Robert Head; New York City, assignor to Howe- 

 Baumann Balloon Co., Newark, New Jersey. United States 

 Patent No. 1,201,045.] 



FRENCH TYPE CHAINS FOR DUAL SOLID TIRES. 



h recent French patent covers articulated, detachable non-skid 

 chains for motor vehicles equipped with dual solid tires. 



This chain comprises a series of non-skid plates connected by 

 chain sections with special links provided at regular intervals 

 for fastening the chain to the rim of the wheel. The chains 

 occupy the annular space between the dual tires as shown in the 

 diagram. 



The drawing on the left is a circumferential section -and on 

 tlie right, a transverse section of the wheel. A is the rim B the 



spokes, C the tires and D the non-skid plates that are connected 

 by chain sections E. These sections are anchored by short chains 

 F to double links G, located at spaced intervals in the rim between 

 the dual tires. The links are fastened in the rim by taper keys 

 //, that are held in place by straps or cotter-pins. [Societti 

 Schneider & Cie. French patent applied for February 29, 1915.]
