Title: Improvements in twist-lace machine jacquards
IPC: D04C5/02
Filed: 1936-04-23
Abstract: 473,903. Lace -machines. JARDINE, Ltd., J., and SWINDALL, J. W. April 23, 1936, No. 11563. [Class 74 (i)] The thread-guide bars in a lace-machine are actuated by stepped pattern wheels A which are rotated about an axis for this purpose and also given a movement of translation. The movements are controlled by pattern chains. The wheels act upon levers N, pivoted at O and connected by links P to the thread-guide bars of the lace-machine. Instead of wheels, pattern chains with studs or links of various heights may be used. The wheels A and their common axle B are carried by the end of a lever C the shaft D of which is mounted in the front and rear standards of the jacquard framing. The lower end of the lever C is attached to a lever pivoted at O and carrying a roller running on a cam on a shaft J. Counter-cams A<6>, A<8>, Fig. 3, on the same shaft operate lever arms A<5>, A<7>, pivoted at O and connected by a link A<4> to a lever A<2> and ratchet-and-pawl gear A<3>, by means of which the wheels A are stepped about their shaft B. The pawl A<3> can be held out of action by the engagement of its pin A<9> with a bell-crank lever T under control of a pattern chain Q<2>. The upper arm of the lever T is connected by a link T<3> to a second lever T<4> loosely mounted on a shaft T<5>. The free end T<6> of this lever bears on the links of the pattern chain Q<2>. The lower arm of the lever T carries a roller running on a cam T<1>. When the pawl A<3> is moved by the lever T out of contact with the ratchet A<1>, the end T<6> of the lever T<4> is lifted out of contact with the chain, which can then be advanced to bring a fresh projection under the end T<6>. The lever T can thus be prevented from returning to its normal position and the pawl A<3> from engaging the ratchet A<1> for any desired length of time. Another chain Q<3> controls a lever W<2> connected to a bell-crank V<2> the lever arm of which runs on a cam V<3>. The bellcrank V<2> is also connected by a link V<1> to a stop arm V loosely mounted on the shaft J. The upper end of the arm V is moved under the lever C at each revolution of the shaft J but returns before the lever C returns unless held in the path of the lever C by the pattern chain.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a process for the manufacture of oil-soluble organic-mercury compounds
IPC: C07F3/10
Filed: 1937-04-22
Abstract: Acidic organo-mercury compounds are converted into their salts with alkylamines having an alkyl substituent containing 6-18 carbon atoms by interaction in a non-aqueous medium.  The products, which are oil-soluble, are useful as bactericides and fungicides.  According to the examples: (1) the alkyl-mercury-sulphur compounds described in U.S.A.  Specification 1,672,615, e.g. ethylmercurithiosalicylic acid and p-ethylmercurithiobenzenesulphonic acid, are combined with heptadecyl-, stearyl-, N-dimethylstearyl-, N-diethylstearyl-, lauryl-, hexyl-, isohexyl-, heptyl- or a sec-octyl-amine; (2) mercury compounds of nitrophenols, e.g. o-nitrophenol-p-mercuric chloride and 5-nitro-4-chloromercuri-o-cresol, are treated with N-dimethylstearylamine, N-dimethyllaurylamine and N-diethylheptylamine.  The reaction is usually effected by adding the amine to a suspension of the mercury compound in a mineral or vegetable oil, e.g. cottonseed or olive oil, whereby an oil solution is obtained; products in a solid form may be prepared by carrying out the reaction in a solvent such as ligroin, ether or acetone and evaporating the solvent.  Specification 393,102 is referred to.

Title: Separation and recovery of solids and liquid from flour mill wastes
Inventor: OFNER FRANK R
IPC: A23K1/14
Filed: 1958-04-14
Abstract: A nutrient material relatively high in fat and protein content is obtained from flour mill wastes consisting substantially of raw wheat solids and wash water, by thickening the wastes within 16 hours after their formation to concentrate the solids and to produce a water effluent, the effluent is filtered to recover a re-useable water wash, the concentrated solids are filtered to reduce further their moisture content and are then dried, preferably to produce a cake of 12-18% moisture content; dry material such as feeds, grains and mill run wheat may be added to the solids during drying.  The thickening may be accomplished by introducing the wastes into a centrifuge, clarifier or settling tank; if a clarifier is used, the thickening will reach a proper consistency within 20 minutes.  According to an example, flour mill wastes consisting of water and approximately 2,000 lbs. of solids were introduced, about 10 hours after their formation, into a clarifier where the solids remained for about 15 minutes to allow thickening.  After the solids had thickened, they were passed by a sludge pump to a vacuum filter at which the water content reduced to approximately 64%.  The thickened and partially dried material was then passed into a mixer and approximately 880 lbs. of mill run wheat were added to the mixer; the moisture content of the mixed product was 14%.

Filed: 1952-05-12
Abstract: 703,221. Kinematograph apparatus. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. May 12, 1952 [May 11, 1951], No. 11967/52. Class 97(1) [Also in Group XL(b)] The apparatus comprises an electric discharge lamp for recurringly illuminating the film, a means for moving the film, an electric storage means, a circuit for periodically charging the storage means, a circuit for discharging it through the lamp via a unidirectional discharge device and means for energizing the film moving means by a portion of the periodic energy flow in said charging circuit so that the illumination, and movement of the film are synchronized. As shown, applied to film scanning for television, the lamp 5, with condenser 14, illuminates the film 1 at the gate 4 and an image is formed by a lens system 15 on the screen 16 of an iconoscope 17. The film is fed by continuously rotating sprockets 6, 7 and a sprocket 11, with intermittent mechanism 8, all driven from the motor 9. The iconoscope has scanning circuits 21, 22 synchronized by a pulse generator 23 which also synchronizes a generator 27 of blanking pulses applied to the grid 26 during flyback. The generator 23 may itself be synchronized by pulses applied from a remote source at 29. A rectifier 31 is fed from an A.C. source 28 and its output voltage is applied to a series resonant circuit consisting of resistance 38, inductance 33 and capacitor 32. Voltage surges across the capacitor are applied to the lamp but do not fire it until a pulse is also applied from the amplifier 40, with H.T. supply unit 44. The amplifier 40 is driven from a blocking oscillator 41 synchronized by the generator 23 and fed from an L.T. unit 43. The lamp is then discharged through a resonant circuit consisting of capacitor 32, inductance 35 and a thyratron 36. The latter is triggered by an amplifier or multivibrator 42 fed from the generator 23. The motor'9 is fed from a transformer 34 connected in series with a capacitor 39 across the inductance 33. In a modification the primary of the transformer replaces the inductance. In a further modification the motor is connected directly in series with the capacitor 32. In the modification shown in Fig. 3 the charging circuit includes an additional inductance 52 and capacitor 53, the motor 9 with a capacitor 54 in series, being connected in parallel with the latter.
