Title: Improved Manufacture of Baking Powder.
Inventor: OETKER EDUARD
IPC: A21D2/02
Filed: 1911-01-12
Granted: 1911-05-18
Abstract: 842. Oetker, E. Jan. 12. Baking-powders. - Comprises baking-powder in which an organic acid (such as tartaric acid) is added to a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and ammonium phosphate. The action of the acid is delayed by coating it with a thin skin of wax by means of a solution of wax in a readily volatile hydrocarbon such as benzine. When the baking- powder is to be stored for some time the bicarbonate or the phosphate or both may be coated with wax. In this case the acid is given a thicker coating of wax by using a stronger solution of wax or by using wax of a higher melting-point. Ceresine may be added to the wax to raise its boiling-point for this purpose.

Fig. 1 shows a form in which the gear casing revolves and has a chain-wheel fixed thereon. The gear is carried in a frame b attached by lugs b<1> to the cycle frame. The chain-wheel d' is driven from the engine and is fixed to an internally-toothed ring d. This ring drives through two epicyclic trains a member e, which can be clutched to the gear casing c carrying a chain-wheel c', through which the road wheel is driven. The sun pinions j, k of the gear trains are mounted to slide axially in one direction to engage with their respective planet-carriers to lock the trains and thus give a direct high speed, and in the other direction to engage with a fixed member a<2> for the two low speeds, the lowest being through both trains. The clutch may be between the gear and the road wheels as shown, or between the engine and the gear. When the clutch is disengaged, the engine can be started by pedal gear or by a handle v, connected to the member e through toothed gearing u, t, and the ratchet gear s. A detachable brake drum c' is mounted on the gear casing. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the gear case is stationary, and the chain-wheel by which motion is transmitted to the road wheel is mounted at one side thereof. In another modification an expanding pulley may be mounted on the gear casing instead of the chainwheel c<1>.

Abstract: 7015. Justice, P. M., [Huber-Hodgman Printing Press Co.]. March 21. Inking - apparatus.-In inking-apparatus for cylinder printing - machines, the ink - duct roller 1 supplies ink to a feed - roller 2 constantly in contact with it, from which the ink is taken by a messenger roller 3 and passed on to the inker rollers 4, 5. These are so placed, and the operation of the roller 3 is so timed, that no ink is put on the table 6 without being previously distributed by the inker rollers 4, 5 and distributing-roller 7. The ink-duct roller 1 is rotated step by step, by a pawl 20 on a segment 19 driven through a segment 14 and connecting-rod 17. A cam determines the time of engagement between the pawl 20 and the wheel 21. The roller 3 is operated from a cam 31, the amplitude of its movement being controlled by stops 34. It is moved into contact with the roller 4 just as the bed 6 is about to reach its outermost position and while the rollers 4, 5, 7, driven by gearing in unison with the bed, are moving quite slowly. The bed commences its return stroke before the freshlyapplied ink on the roller 4 reaches it, and during the return stroke of the bed 6 this ink is distributed on the outer rollers 4, 5, 7, ready to be applied to the bed on its next outward stroke.

Ingress and egress of passengers, controlling; doors; steps.-The stairways of double-deck fare-prepayment cars are arranged centrally with respect to the longitudinal centre line of the car so that they serve partly to define the entrance and exit spaces on the platform. They are divided wholly or at the bottom part to provide separate exit and entrance ways thereon. According to one arrangement, Fig. 1, the bottom steps 10, 11 are disposed near the doorways 3, 4, of the lower saloon, these doorways being closed by doors sliding into a central pocket 8. A gate 14 can be swung about a stanchion 15 to close access to or exit from either flight of steps. The conductor is stationed in the space A enclosed by the guide rail 12 and beneath the top steps. In a modification, Fig. 5, the bottom steps are disposed in the middle of the platform and the stairway ascends forwards therefrom. The conductor is stationed in the railed enclosure A and can operate the gate 14 as before. In the further arrangement shown in Fig. 3, a double stairway with a dividing rail 17 is provided. The conductor's station is defined by the rail 12 on an elevation 16 which forms also a common bottom step. To adapt this arrangement to a car having a shorter platform, the bulkhead 3 is set back within the body. Swinging doors 5, 7, are provided in this case. The invention may be applied to cars in which the motorman also acts as the conductor by disposing the controller at position K. According to the Provisional Specification, the heads of a divided stairway may turn in opposite directions so that the top doors therefor can be arranged in angular positions, enabling them to be made wider than usual.
