Title: Improved Method of Dyeing Leather with Sulphur Colours.
Inventor: RANSFORD ROBERT BOLTON
Filed: 1903-04-06
Granted: 1904-02-11
Abstract: 7954. Ransford, R. B., [Cassella & Co., L.]. April 6. Dyeing.-Relates to the method of dyeing leather with sulphur colours described in Specification No. 24,697, A.D. 1901, and consists in replacing the glycose used by fatty aldehydes, such as formaldehyde, and the pure tannic acid by other bodies possessing tanning and dyeing properties, such for instance as extracts of oak-bark, pine and mimosa bark, fustic, quebracho, logwood, divi-divi, myrabolans, yellow berries, sumach, gambier, cutch, and terra japonica. (1) The application of aldehydes is particularly advantageous for chromed skins or chamois leather, these being dyed in the drum or paddle, by brushing on or staining, or in other usual ways, or the solution is allowed to react on the leather at any stage of its preparation. For a black colour on chromed goat skins, dyed in the drum, the bath consists of Immedial Black N.B, sodium sulphide, Turkey-red oil or soap, formaldehyde, and water. Other examples are given, in which havanna is produced on chromed calf skins by means of balls containing formaldehyde and Immedial Yellow Brown E, and a black colour is produced on chamois leather by means of a bath containing Immedial Black N.F, and formaldehyde. (2) The following examples illustrate the use of the extracts mentioned above. For a black colour on chromed calf skin, dyed in the drum, the dye bath consists of Immedial Black N.B, sodium sulphide, Turkey-red oil, extract of quebracho, and water. A black colour is produced on chromed goat skin by staining with a bath containing Immedial Black V extra and gambier. A black colour on chromed calf skin is obtained by staining with a solution containing Immedial Black N.N conc, and logwood extract (solid). A brown on chamois leather, dyed in the drum, is produced by a bath containing Immedial Brown G and sumach extract.

Patent GB-190316984-A (GB)
Inventor: NORTH WILLIAM STANLEY
Filed: 1903-08-04
Granted: 1903-10-22
Abstract: 16,984. North, W. S. Aug. 4. Blind-stitching machines; chain-stitching machines; needle-holders.-Relates to sewing-machines more particularly adapted for blind-stitching, as in hemming the tops of stockings, the bottoms of trouser legs, etc.; a trimming-mechanism being also provided to trim the edge of the material parallel to the line of stitching. The trimmer may be located in the rear of the stitch-forming mechanism when used in forming hems, and ahead of the stitch-forming mechanism when used in finishing the edges of fabrics, where it is desired to trim off the surplus material and then overseam or cover the edge; in this latter arrangement also, the edges of two pieces may be overlapped, trimmed, and then united. The material is crimped or bent to an angle, either in a groove in the work-support or over a ridge thereon, the needle working in a substantially-horizontal plane, and entering and emerging on the same face of the fabric, so that the stitches do not show on the other face when the material is flattened out again. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the material is crimped in a groove in the throat-plate B, which is formed with an aperture 1 for the passage of the needle. To enable the bight to be varied, the needle-bar C is provided with a head 2, Fig. 3<a>, having a slot 3 in which the needle is adjustably secured by means of the clamp 4. The diameter of the aperture 1 may be sufficient to allow for the adjustment of the needle ; or, the part of the throat-plate in which the aperture is formed may also be adjustable. The trimming-blade D is actuated by the cam G on the feed-shaft F, and works in conjunction with the fixed blade b<1>. In another type of machine, the cam G is mounted on the looper-operating shaft. Fig. 5 shows the work-plate of the machine, in the groove of which the material is crimped by the presser-foot L. As the hem is sewn, the body of the material passes over the guide M, while the edge to be trimmed off passes under the wall m<1> of the guide, where it is cut off by the trimming-blade D. The workplate is thickened adjacent to the throat-plate, so that the hem enters the guide with the stitches on a level with the valley of the throat-plate. Fig. 8 shows a looper and needle-operating mechanism for chain-stitch machines. The looper O is carried by the sleeve o' journalled on the stud o, and is operated through the arm O<1>, and the pitman P, from the eccentric Q on the driving- shaft R. The needle-bar C is driven by a crank and connecting rod, and the feed shaft is driven by bevel gearing r, r. A reciprocating slide T, having a reduced portion t, is operated by a rocking lever and cam S, causing the sleeve o' to be alternately elevated and depressed, so that the looper passes the needle first on one side and then on the other. The sleeve o<1> is normally depressed by a spring,

Title: Improvements in Key Action for Typewriters and other Key-controlled Apparatus.
Inventor: FAIRWEATHER WALLACE
Filed: 1905-01-24
Granted: 1905-12-07
Abstract: 1346. Fairweather, W., [Underwood Typewriter Co.]. Jan. 24. Typewriters; linotype machines; type; type, setting.-Relates to key actions in which there is a trip connexion so that the actuated part returns independently of the key-lever. The construction is described as applied to typewriters, but is also applicable to type-setting, type-casting, and linotype machines, &c. Instead of the disconnexion being effected by means of a fixed stop as the keylever nears the end of its movement, and while the parts are under tension, it is effected by means of a light spring after the key-lever has completed its movement, and after the parts have been momentarily freed by a movement due to momentum, thereby reducing wear. An application to a front-strike typewriter is shown in Fig. 2. The key-lever 11 has a detachable latch connexion 25, 19 with the lever 16, which has a pin-and-slot connexion 20, 21 with the type-bar 9, and is retained by a spring 22. The latch 25 is formed with an extension 26 slotted to receive a spring 28. The arrangement is such that the typebar 9 completes its stroke by momentum after the key-lever 11 strikes the stop 14, and, consequently, the shoulder 19 is momentarily freed from the latch 25, which is then rocked by the spring 28 into the position shown. The key-lever 11 is returned by a spring 13. An application to an up-strike typewriter is shown in Fig. 5. The levers 6<a>, 12<a> are pivoted together at 30, and are returned by a spring 39. A latch 43, engaged by a spring 46 and limited by a stop 51, co-operates with an extension 42 of the lever 12<a>. An appli-' cation is shown in Fig. 6 to a machine in which the type-bar is given a thrust or rectilinear move ment. A locking-piece 24 pivoted on the keylever 6<a> is provided with a guard loop 55 for co-operation with a shouldered nose 53 on the auxiliary lever 12<a>. A spring 56 is disposed in the path of the piece 24 to effect release of the parts 55, 53. A return spring 52 for the lever 12<a> bears against a nose 13 of the lever 12<a> and a nose 8 of the lever 6<a>.
