Title: Improvements in Decolourising of Glycerine.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
IPC: C11D19/00
Filed: 1909-07-12
Granted: 1910-05-12
Abstract: 16,260. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. July 12. Glycerine, purifying; fatty acids, purifying; fatty acids and glycerine, obtaining by decomposing fats and fatty oils. - Glycerine is decolorized by hydrosulphites or formaldehyde sulphoxylates. The glycerine may be in solution, and the insoluble decolorizing-salts, such as decroline (basic zinc formaldehyde sulphoxylate), are preferred. The glycerine may be preliminarily purified by a salt of iron or aluminium. These reagents may be added during the saponification of fats and oils, as by means of zinc dust, zinc oxide, or magnesium oxide; the fatty acid and glycerine thus obtained are both decolorized.

Abstract: 20,635. Harnett, E. St. C. Sept. 9. Board games.-A race game, which may be used for advertising, is played with model horses which are moved over a board a, divided into a number of spaces d representing the course, two or more spaces y, h, and other spaces i marked with the odds against the pieces in use. The names of the pieces are shown in spaces m, and other spaces n may be provided for the reception of the cards to be dealt to each piece. The number of spaces d over which each piece has to travel to reach the winning post varies with the odds against the piece. In playing the game, a player stakes counters on a piece, and each piece has a card dealt to it by the banker. The piece that receives the highest card is moved forward one space, and another hand of cards is dealt. The banker pays out counters to those players who have selected the winning pieces and colour according to the odds marked on the board. Portions of the front and back of the board may be utilized for advertising purposes.

Title: Electric Speed Regulation of Machines.
Filed: 1910-07-16
Granted: 1911-03-09
Abstract: 16,997. Siemens-Schuckertwerke. July 17, 1909, [Convention date]. Dynamos and motors combined for transmitting power; regulation, automatic systems and apparatus for.-The speed of a working motor m, Fig. 1, is made to synchronize with that of a constant-speed motor g by operating the regulating-rheostat h through the slip current produced in a polyphase machine l. The stator of the machine l is fed from a generator r on the shaft of the machine g, and the rotor is on the shaft of the machine m. The field magnet of the machine r, instead of being fed with direct current as illustrated, may be wound for a three-phase supply, and fed from the same source as supplies the rotor of the rheostat-operating machine s. In another form, the machine s is a direct-current motor under the control of a reversing-switch operated by the slip current from machine l. The machine l is called the " load-speed machine," and its function, namely that of producing a slip current to actuate the main motor controller, may be undertaken either by the machine s or the machine r. In this case, each is a polyphase machine, and the load-speed machine has its rotor and stator in series with the stator on one of the other machines, the rotors of both the others being connected to the same supply. The machine r, instead of being driven as a constant-speed dynamo, may be run off the mains as a polyphase frequency converter, as shown in Fig. 4. Its current is supplied to the stator of the machine l, the rotor of which is on the shaft of the main motor m and supplies the machine which acts on the motor rheostat h. In order to make the speed control depend to some extent upon the load, the slip current from the machine l, Fig. 8, is supplied to an intermediate machine r<1> which is driven by a motor g<1>. The field of the machine g' is supplied through a regulating-rheostat, and its armature is in shunt to a resistance in the armature circuit of the motor m. The current that is fed to the motor s is thus proportional partly to the difference in speed between the motors m, g and partly to the load on the motor m.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Pulling-over Machines.
IPC: A43D13/00
Filed: 1911-05-25
Granted: 1912-05-23
Abstract: 12,676. Roberts, W. T. B., and British United Shoe Machinery Co. May 25. Lastiny. - In pulling-over machines in which the machine stops after the upper has been stretched, to permit adjustment of the upper with respect to the last, provision is made whereby the operator can, from the stopping position referred to, either run the machine on to complete the pulling-over and tacking operations, or return t h e upper-stretching devices to the starting position to permit an improperly - gripped upper to be readjusted. The invention is shown as applied to a pulling-over machine of the type described in Specification 7005/00. The clutching-shaft E is provided, in addition to the two clutch pinions E<1>, E<2>, with a pinion E' gearing with the pinion B<3> on the main shaft. When the double clutch F is in engagement with the pinion E<2>, the main shaft is driven in the working direction from the driving- pulley B<1>, through the gearing B<2>, C<1>, C<2>, D<1>, D<2>, E<2>, E<3>. But, when the clutch F is thrown over into engagement with the pinion E<1>, the main shaft is driven in the reverse direction through the gearing B<2>, C<1>, C<2>, E<1>, E<3>. The clutch F is connected by a yoke F<3> to a tubular rod G. which carries a spring-controlled plunger G<2>* engaged by a lever H coupled to the hand-lever J. By shifting this hand-lever, the operator can therefore run the machine backwards to the starting position, to permit the upper to be readjusted. To prevent the machine from being reversed until it has reached the position of pause, an abutment K<1> on a spring-controlled plunger K engages in a recess in the rod G, until the machine has made its first halfrevolution and come to rest, when the abutment K<1> is disengaged from the rod G by the action of a cam on the main shaft, to permit the machine to be reversed if desired. To prevent the machine from being started while the reversing-lever is being operated, the handlever J, in its movement to the reversing position, moves a slide L into position above the rod M connected to the starting-pedal, thus preventing the operation of the pedal. As the lever J reaches the reversing position, an incline on the slide L engages a corresponding incline on the usual tripping-slide N of the starting-clutch, and operates this slide to start the machine backwards. To prevent the tackseparator from being operated during the backward movement of the machine, a lever, normally held up by a spring or counterweight, is drawn down into engagement with the separator by a flexible connexion O<2> connected to the hand-lever; the connexion O<2> is guided by a tube O<3>.
