Patent GB-191125534-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Metallised Textile and other Fibres, Films, and Fabrics.
IPC: D06Q1/04
Filed: 1911-11-16
Granted: 1912-11-18
Abstract: 25,534. Knecht, E., Perl, A., and Spence & Sons, P. Nov. 16. Waterproofing.-Fibres, fabrics, films, &c. produced from an ammoniacal copper cellulose solution are treated with a reducing-agent such as titanous sulphate, to precipitate metallic copper in and upon the fibres &c. The ammoniacal copper solution is preferably prepared by the action of ammonia and an oxidizing-agent upon cellulose and precipitated finely divided copper. A portion of the copper may be removed from the fibres &c. by an electro-chemical or other process, or the fibres &c. may be treated with an acid before precipitation of the copper, in order to reduce the quantity of metal present. The threads &c. may be produced by squirting the cellulose solution directly into a bath, such as an acidulated titanous sulphate solution, which coagulates the cellulose and reduces the copper salt. In a modification, parts only of a fabric &c. may be metallized, for example by applying by printing or otherwise an ammoniacal copper cellulose solution to the desired portions of any ordinary textile material, and then passing the material through a suitable coagulating-solution and subsequently immersing in a reducing-solution such as acidulated titanous sulphate. whereby copper is precipitated. In a further modification, the whole of a fabric &c. of any suitable material may be immersed in or treated with a cellulose solution and subsequently treated as described above. The lustre of the products may be increased by friction or pressure or both, and their appearance may be modified by dyeing. Other metals such as gold, silver, &c., or a further quantity of copper may be deposited on the fibres &c. by immersion in a suitable solution or by electrolytic deposition. In place of titanous sulphate, lower oxide salts of other metals which will reduce copper salts to copper, may be employed, such as chromous salts. Preferably such lower oxide salts as can be regenerated by reduction from the higher oxide salts are used.

Granted: 1914-01-01
Abstract: 4091. Helm, M. Jan. 1. Winding - machines; thread-guides.-Coils described in Specification 91/13 are preferably wound on a tube on a spindle b, Figs. 1 and 2, suitably driven and driving a cam shaft c through variable-speed gearing in well-known manner. The shaft c carries cams C, C' for reciprocating the guide G, for the yarn or other insulating-material, and wire guide H respectively, the cam C being fast on the shaft and the cam C' being mounted on a sleeve j<1> thereon. A ratchetwheel F secured to the cam C' and mounted on the sleeve is driven by a pawl M pivoted in a rocker arm N straddling the wheel and connected by a link R with a lever S carrying a roll s<3> bearing on a cam U on the winding-spindle which thus drives the cam C<1> at a slow speed. The movement of the lever S and consequently the speed of the cam C<1> is varied by turning a disk V eccentrically mounted on a stud v, journaled in a bracket T, and bearing against the lever S. The roll s<3> is maintained in contact with the cam U by a spring q which also presses a shoe q' against the stud v to provide resistance to the turning of the disk. The rocker-arm N is controlled by a spring plate P carried by a member o pivoted in a bracket 0 and carrying a roll p bearing against the ratchet-wheel to prevent accidental movement thereof. The guides G, H are carried on rods g, h attached to blocks g<1>, h<1> carrying studs g<2>, h<2> engaging the grooves in the cams C, C' respectively, and are supported, and maintained constantly in contact with the coil, by counterweighted frames D, E pivoted by arms d<1>, d<2>, c<1>, c<2> on the cam shaft; springs g<7>, h<7> arranged between the guide holders g<3>, h<3>, and the guiding-plates D<1>, E<1> allow slight movement of the guides.

Title: Improved Process of Treating Liquid Fuel to Produce Vapour.
Inventor: PORTER ALEXANDER THOMAS
IPC: F02M21/00
Filed: 1913-04-29
Granted: 1914-04-23
Abstract: 10,047. Porter, A. T. April 29. Vaporizers, external. -Liquid fuel is vaporized by being projected at high velocity in the form of a spray through a flame area, air sufficient or in excess to maintain the flame being admitted, and mechanically extinguishing the flame at a predetermined point in the progress of the vaporized material. The resulting product consists of a condensible vapour containing a small percentage of fixed gases. Oil and compressed air from pipes 8, 11 respectively are projected through a nozzle 7 into a chamber 1 and ignited by a sparking-plug 31. The spreading of the spray is laterally restricted by a sleeve 50 sliding on a tube 49 surrounding the nozzle 7. Part of the oil is burned in maintaining a flame which is progressively extinguished by gauze screens 25, 26, and the vapour passes through a non-return valve 5 into a chamber 3. Air is supplied by a pipe 13 and heated in a coil 15 in the chamber 2, this heated air being supplied to the partial-combustion chamber 1 and to mix with the vaporized product in the chamber 3. A hollow metal cone 23 is located in the flame-extinguishing chamber 2 to spread the stream of atomized material and assist in the vaporizing action. A thermostat 35 automatically discontinues the sparking at the plug 31 when the flame has been established, and if the flame becomes extinguished closes the spark circuit to effect ignition. A pipe 28 conveys the vapour from the mixing- chamber 3 to the engine.
