Title: Improved Air Filter.
Inventor: BLASS WALTER
IPC: B01D46/12
Filed: 1910-02-17
Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 3942. Blass, W. Feb. 17. Filtering.-An air-filter of the type having filter plates which can be interchanged while the filter is working comprises a polygonal drum provided with grooved bars 1 adapted to receive filtering-frames having wadding or the like retained between gauze or metal sieves. Air is drawn inwards through the frames by means of suction devices connected with the hollow trunions p. When a filter frame is to be removed, it is pushed out by the insertion of a fresh frame, the drum being turned into a convenient position by means of a hand-wheel h connected by toothed gearing with the end wall s of the drum. Strips of oiled felt or rubber are fastened on the frames to make them fit air-tight in the grooves. Filters are located between the interior of the drum and the trunnions, and additional frames z may be provided in the end walls of the drum if desired.

Abstract: 11,312. Mackay, C. T., and Thomas, G. C. May 7. Cameras combined with kinematographs and fitted with provision for printing.-Comprises improvements in cameras which are adapted for use as kinematographs as well as ordinary cameras. The case A of the camera is fitted with an adjustable lens-carrier C and grooves G to receive the plate B that carries the filmmoving mechanism, Fig. 7. A focusing-screen E is also fitted at the back of the camera for ordinary use. One side of the apparatus consists of a hinged door F to enable the removable film-moving mechanism to be placed in position. This mechanism comprises sprocket-wheels 1, 2 driven continuously to feed the film from and to the film box situated at the back of the plate B. Between the sprocket-wheels 1, 2 is a further pair of wheels 8, intermittently operated to effect intermittent movement of the film past the exposure aperture 10. The film O is arranged so as to have loops between the wheel, as shown, to permit the intermittent movement. The wheels 8 project slightly beyond the plate B, and the wheels 1 project further beyond the plate B, the wheels 2 standing in front of the plate B. The mechanism is operated by turning the spindle 18 for the purpose of projection and by turning the spindle 12 when used for printing positives. Geneva-stop mechanism is used to effect the intermittent movement of the film. The gearing operated from the spindle 12 also drives the revolving shutter 24. The gates 28, 29 are hinged at one side to the plate B to facilitate threading the film into position. A gate 34, also hinged to the plate B carries the exposure aperture 10 in a slide 35 adjustable by means of a rack and pinion. Springs 43 keep i,he film 0 flat and in the correct position. When taking photographs, the spindles are rotated by the handle 50, which is also used to wind up the film in the film box by means of the band 56 rotating the spindle 55 of the film spool. The top of the camera is provided with a light-excluding aperture through which the negative film may be passed when printing.

Abstract: 28,330. Alexander, A. E., [Anderson Winding Machine Co.]. Dec. 6. Winding-machines.-Relates to improvements in traverse mechanism for machines for winding coils, of the class in which the thread-guide is reciprocated parallel with the axis of the mandrel on which the coil is being wound, by a swinging lever, the throw of which is variable by means of an adjustable fulcrum, said lever being operated by a heart-cam driven by changegearing from the mandrel shaft. The mandrel 100 is mounted upon a shaft 70 and may be driven from a cone pulley 71 loose on the shaft through differential gearing, or directly from the cone pulley. The material to be coiled passes over a grooved pulley 132 loose on a bar 133 and capable of movement along it. The bar 133 is carried in brackets 134, adjustable in slides 135 to permit the pulley 132 to be moved toward or from the mandrel 100. The pulley is reciprocated along the bar 133 by means of a swinging lever 147, and a sliding link 138 which is coupled to the pulley by an adjustable bar 140 secured to the link and engaging by means of its squared end a groove 142 in the boss of the pulley. The lever 147 is provided with a fulcrum 148 adjustable in a vertical slide 150, and its lower end is secured to a sleeve 154, Fig. 3, reciprocated along an horizontal bar 155 by a heart-cam 159. This cam is driven from the mandrel shaft through a worm 178, a worm-wheel and a gear 175 on the same shaft, an adjustable pair of idler gears 170, 169, and an interchangeable gear 167 on the shaft 160 of the cam. In order that the cam may be rotated without any consequent motion of the mandrel, the shaft 160 is made hollow and the plate 163 to which the gear 167 is secured is held in place by a spring 166 in the interior of the shaft.

Title: Method of Improving the Quality of Cigars, Comestibles and the like.
Inventor: PETER MARSEN
IPC: A24B15/22
Filed: 1912-07-01
Abstract: 15,351. Marzen, P., and Schalkenbach, F. Dec. 28, 1911, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Tobacco.-Cigars, cigarettes, tobacco, comestibles, &c. are conditioned by means of ozone. The ozone may be injected or cigars may be steeped in an ozone bath. Preferably, however, the ozone is formed within the articles themselves by means of an electric discharge. Particularly in the case of cigars this may be effected by inserting in each end thereof a wire connected to a different pole of an electric source, a spark gap being formed between the ends of the wires. The effect of the sparks may be enhanced by an interrupter. In the case of cigars, the treatment eliminates or neutralizes the elements which are detrimental to the taste and the ozone also acts as a disinfectant. For simultaneous treatment of a large number of articles, it is preferable to connect the poles of an electric source with two parallel plates carrying a number of pins to which the articles may be affixed. Cigarettes and other compact shapes of tobacco may be treated in the same manner. A great number of comestibles such as bread &c. are suitable for treatment with ozone in a similar manner.
