Patent GB-190929103-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Circular Knitting Machines.
Inventor: PIGEON ALBERT MAGLOIRE
IPC: D04B9/00
Filed: 1909-12-13
Granted: 1910-03-24
Abstract: 29,103. Pigeon, A. M. Dec. 13. Circular machines.-The needle beards are pressed by means of individual pressers 36 lying in the needle tricks, and provided with butts reciprocated by cams concentric with the needle cams. The sinkers 60 are provided with notches 64, 65 for loop-sinking and web-holding purposes respectively. The sinkers are advanced so as to sink the yarn, are then withdrawn whilst the needles descend, and are again advanced to hold down the web as the needles again rise. The length of the loop formed may be varied by pattern mechanism acting on the sinker cams. The thread-guide 112 is mounted on a tilting frame 115, and is controlled during reciprocation to feed a variable number of working needles, by the end needles of the inactive column. This is effected by means of a frame 135 mounted to slide on a circular wire 130, and yieldingly held in the mid-position by opposing springs. The frame 135 supports the threadguide frame 115 by means of an arm 146 which comes under a curved plate 118 mounted on the frame 115. During reciprocation the frames 115, 135 are driven with a lost motion; inclines 151, 152 on the frame 135 alternately strike opposite ends of the inactive needle column, causing the frames to tilt and throwing the guide out of action.

Abstract: 5489. Kohn, E. April 24, 1909, [Convention date]. Processes and materials for treating hides and skins.-A dog's-dung substitute for saponifying lime consists of bone powder containing about one per cent of fat or oil, liver of sulphur, and common salt. The use of the mixture, which is especially applicable to glace leather, enables the lime and hair roots to be removed by light scraping. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) comprises also the use of a mixture of powdered dried bones mixed in the proportion of ten to one with ground seeds of lupines or beans (vegetable alhumen), made into a porridge with water and allowed to ferment for about three or four weeks. The skins are first washed in lukewarm water, and are then treated in a soft-water bath of the above mixture heated to about 42‹ C. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
