Patent GB-190601418-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Method and Means for Producing Open-work or Pattern Knitted Ware with the Aid of Circular Knitting Machines.
Inventor: SALZER BRUNO
Filed: 1906-01-18
Granted: 1906-05-17
Abstract: 1418. Salzer, B., and Walther, G. Jan. 18. Circular knitting- machine.-In order to make the " ladder " work shown in Fig. 5, longbutted and short-butted needles are employed in connexion with a triangular needle-elevating cam d, Fig 1. The latter is radially movable into one or other of two positions at previously-determined intervals. When the cam d is in the position remote from the needles, the long-butted needles are guided by the path 7, 8, 9 into the stitch-forming cams, while the short-butted needles follow the path 1, 2, 3, 4 into a lower non-knitting track and form " ladders " in the work. In the projected position, the cam d elevates both long-butted and short-butted needles into the stitch-forming cams, and ordinary work is produced.

Granted: 1906-10-18
Abstract: 3446. Lance, D., and Joannis, C. L. de. Feb. 16, 1905, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Pigments.-A pigment consists of zinc carbonate, zinc hydrate, and zinc oxide. Zinc carbonate is extracted from its ores by lixiviation with ammonia solution or ammonia and amine solution. The carbonate is wholly or partially transformed into hydrate by treatment with strontium hydrate. The zinc hydrate or mixed hydrate and carbonate is extracted from the strontium carbonate by lixiviation with ammonia or ammonia and amine solutions. Reference is made to Specification No. 17,895, A.D. 1903. The Specification in the original form as published under the Act of 1901 describes also pigments containing zinc carbonate and zinc hydrate alone, and pigments containing zinc hydrate and zinc oxide. The physical texture of the zinc oxide is modified by passage, preferably with hot water, through rotary cylinders covered with porcelain and provided with quartz rollers which roll one on another without being effected by centrifugal force or by gravity so that the grains of oxide are worn away without being crashed. This subject-matter does not appear in the Complete Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Steering Ships.
Inventor: KATTNER CAMILLO
Filed: 1906-05-18
Granted: 1907-04-18
Abstract: 11,666. Kattner, C. May 18. Compasses, magnetic.-Relates to a magnetic compass for use in automatically steering ships. The compass needle 1, Figs. 1 and 2, is made hollow and preferably cigar-shaped and is mounted upon a steel pivot 6. A cone 7 is formed in the needle to provide the bearing. Ribs or wings 16 are also formed on the needle for damping oscillations. The needle is enclosed in a rectangular case 2, which preferably contains a damping-liquid and is adjustable round its vertical axis in the compass rose 3. Metal forks 10, 11 are mounted so as to turn horizontally in an insulating holder 12 on one end of the needle, an adjustable counterbalance 15 being provided at the other end. When the vessel deviates from its course, one of the forks completes the circuit of a relay by coming in contact with the metal pieces 13 or 14 in the side of the case. The relay closes the circuit for the steering- motors. For fixing the needle when not in use, a spring-pressed rod 9 in the top of the casing may be screwed into the eye 8 of the needle. When mechanical steering only is required, the circuit may be broken by means of switches.

Title: Improvements in Electric Treadles or Rail Deflection Contact Makers for Railway Signalling and the like.
Filed: 1906-12-18
Granted: 1907-12-18
Abstract: 28,830. Haywood, T. E., and McKenzie & Holland. Dec. 18. Switches.-Relates to electric contact-making devices operated on the depression of a rail by passing trains or vehicles. A sliding contact is obtained by means of an arm having a partial movement of rotation produced by a long lever, which transmits and multiplies the depression. The apparatus is shown in Figs. 1 and 2. A lever 17 pivoted at 16 is depressed by a pin 11 attached to an arm 10, which is bolted to the rail 2 and passes through a hole cut in the back-plate 5. The long arm 15 of the lever is thus thrown np to the position indicated by the dotted lines, and operates a crank or arm 21 which is attached to a contact-arm 25, Fig. 3. The end of the lever 15 has a friction roller 19, which escapes after a slight movement from a shoulder 20<a> of the crank 21. When this happens, the contact-making move ment is complete, and any further movement of the lever 15 that may be produced by variable depressions has no effect. Fig. 3 shows the detailed arrangement of the crank 21, bearing socket 22, rocking shaft 24, contact-arm 25, contact spring 26 bearing two points or studs 27, 28, and. fixed contacts 29, 30, Fig. 4. The contactparts are contained in a water-tight iron box 6, having a glass front 34 with packing-rings 37 and a packed gland 38 through which the shaft 24 passes. The box 6 is bolted to the back-plate 5. In the complete apparatus, two contact-boxes are used, one at each end of the back-plate 5, the depresser 11, Fig. 1, being placed between them so as to operate both simultaneously. A lever 15<a> and the remaining parts corresponding to those shown in Fig. 1 are provided for the righthand contact box. The back-plate 5 is a long bar of U-shaped section bolted to the rails by brackets 1, Fig. 2, and has a removable sheet-iron front 40 provided with handles 42. The front is attached to the back by swinging bolts 49 and screw nuts 50. The lead wires 32 are carried along the rear corner of the back-plate, and are held by metal clips 53. According to the Provisional Specification, the contact-box may be provided with an external indicating pointer. Specification No. 9377, A.D. 1904, is referred to.

Abstract: 4172. Justice, P. M., [Sullivan Machinery Co.]. Feb. 24. Rock drills.-Relates to a feeding and operating device for pneumatic-tool engines of the hammer type, and to means for guiding and supporting the tool. The tool engine 31 is of the type in which pressure on the handle 41 admits pressure fluid to the engine. The engine is bolted to a carriage 30 which slides on a shell 22, this shell being securely held by a clamp 19 on a supporting-column 18. To the shell are fixed side rods 47 carrying a split clamp, in which bolts 45, 46 securely hold a feedcylinder 43.
