(2.) A process for preserving meat, the said process consisting in first fumigating the pieces of meat with gaseous formaldehyde, immediately afterwards driving out the formaldehyde by heat, and finally applying an impervious wrapper to the meat, having been sterilised by formaldehyde and subsequently freed from the same, substantially as and for the purpose described. (3.) A process for preserving meat, the said process consisting in first fumigating the meat with gaseous formaldehyde, immediately afterwards driving out the formaldehyde by heat applied by the execution of a cooking operation, placing the meat into receptacles which are filled up with hot fat, and finally sealing the said receptacles, substantially as and for the purpose described.

No. 19308.—6th April, 1905.—WILLIAM ALBERT STETSON, of 136, Summer Street, Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America, Merchant (assignee of Desire Despradelle, of 31, Beacon Street, Boston aforesaid, Architect and Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Improvements in ring spinning-machines.

Claims.—(1.) A device of the class described, embracing in its construction a freely rotatable traveller-ring, and means for maintaining constant control over the rotation of said ring, said controlling-means being capable of accommodating itself to the gyratory and undulatory movements of the traveller-ring. (2.) A controller for a rotatable traveller-ring, comprising a series of movable guides having a normal tendency to press against the ring while arranged to be repelled away from the ring by the centrifugal action of the ring when rotating at high speed. (3.) A rotatable traveller-ring combined with movable controller-members arranged to be pressed toward and to be repelled away from the ring, and a tension-device for yieldingly pressing the controller-members towards the ring. (4.) A controller for a rotatable traveller-ring embracing controller-members movable toward and away from the traveller-ring, and a tension-device having adjustment by which the tension may be regulated to govern the rotary speed of the ring. (5.) A rotatable traveller-ring combined with a controller normally pressed toward the ring by an adjustable tension-device, and means for locking the tension-device against accidental movement in any desired position of adjustment.

Claims.—(1.) In a pump, a chamber or vessel provided between the oscillatory media or mechanism and the main suction and delivery valves, and a flexible vibrating diaphragm arranged in said chamber or vessel so as to separate the clean water on the oscillatory side from the liquid on the side in connection with the main suction and delivery valves, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. (2.) In a pump, a diaphragm-chamber interposed between the barrel and the main suction and delivery valves, a vibrating diaphragm in said chamber, and relief mechanism interposed between the diaphragm and the working parts of the pump, substantially as and for the purposes set forth. (3.) In a pump, a diaphragm-chamber, and a vibrating diaphragm fitted therein, said diaphragm-chamber being interposed between the ordinary valves of the pump, when said valves are used as relief valves, and the main suction and delivery valves, substantially as and for the purposes described.

In a pump of the nature specified, a diaphragm chamber or chambers interposed between the barrel and the main suction and delivery valves, and a vibrating diaphragm or diaphragms therein, constructed and arranged to operate substantially as described in connection with Figs. 4 to 7 of the drawings. (5.) A pump of the nature indicated, having its several parts constructed and arranged to operate in combination, substantially as described, and as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawings. (6.) In a pump of the nature specified, a valve comprising a main valve and main-valve seat, a supplementary seat, and a flexible or resilient packing-ring in said supplementary seat, substantially as and for the purposes described. (7.) In a valve as claimed in the preceding claim, the means adapted to hold the resilient or flexible packing-ring in position, constructed and arranged so that on compression of the ring it is forced into a space formed round the junction of the main valve and seat, substantially as and for the purposes described, and as illustrated in Figs. 8 and 9 of the drawings. (8.) In a pump of the nature specified, a diaphragm chamber or chambers interposed between the barrel and the main suction and delivery valves, a vibrating diaphragm or diaphragms in said chamber or chambers, and relief mechanism interposed between the diaphragm or diaphragms and the oscillatory mechanism of the pump, in combination with main valves provided with supplementary seats, and flexible or resilient rings in said supplementary seats, substantially as described.
