Abstract: 29,764. Ribaucourt, E., and Hannart, A. M. A., [trading as Soc. Hannart FrÞres]. Sept. 15, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Cleaning fabrics.-Suction is used to remove the scouring-liquid from extended fabrics under treatment in dry-scouring machines. The fabric unfolds itself from a pile at the end of the machine, passes over a number of rollers in the first and second vats A, B (scouring-vats), over a suction tube D, D' at the exit from each, and then through a variable number of rinsing-vats E. A suction tube D', D', D' is arranged after each rinsing-vat E. The fabric C is finally wound up on a roller F. Each suction tube D has a slot a, Fig. 6, in its upper surface, and communicates at one end with an injector G fed with steam through a pipe Hand controlled by a needle valve b. A manometer K indicates the vacuum produced. The liquid saturating the fabric is drawn from it as it passes over the tubes, and, in the case of the first two tubes D, D', is recovered by the interposition between the tubes and the injector G of chambers M, pipes N, a receiver 0 in which the liquid collects, and a pipe P. A gauge c indicates the quantity of liquid collected. This liquid may be returned to the first vats A, B by hand, by a pump Q operated by steam, or automatically through the action of the injector. The rinsing-liquid is not recovered.

Patent GB-190720514-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Devices for Producing Intermittent Light.
Inventor: JUERGENS JULIUS CHARLES FRIEDR
Filed: 1907-09-14
Granted: 1908-02-20
Abstract: 20,514. J³rgens, J. C. F., and Schroeter, F. R. W. Sept. 14. Lighting and extinguishing g a s.- Relates to a device for producing intermittent light used especially for gas lamps, and consists in clock - actuated means for opening and closing the valve at short regular intervals ; this means may be used in conjunction with means actuated b y the same clock-work for setting the valve going and cutting it off at predetermined periods. In one form, the gas flame is supplied from a valve b to a chamber a and thence to the burner, and a continuous small supply is obtained by means of a pipe c controlled by a set-screw d, or by means of a passage through the valve b. The tube c may lead directly to the burner. The valve b is operated by a lever g actuated by a series of cams f<1> on a disk f on the seconds spindle of a clock, so that the valve b is opened as many times a minute as there are cams f<1>. In order that the valve b shall be operated only at certain times of the day, the disk f can be moved along the spindle e so as to move the cams f<1> out of contact with the lever g, and for this purpose a boss of the disk f is formed with a notch which is engaged by a spring- controlled lever q, which bears against the hours wheel h. The wheel h is provided with a pin h<3> which is pressed against cam-surfaces on tubes k, i, Fig. 3, provided with hands l, m, by means of which the cams are set to regulate the hours at which the flashing commences. The tubes k, i are held by friction on the hour spindle of the clock, and a spring n. which engages a circular groove in the tube k and also presses against the dial z, assists in holding them when they have been set. The camsurfaces k, i are so arranged that the wheel h is returned gradually to the position shown in Fig. 3 up a slanting surface, but the disk is moved inwards abruptly. In a modification, Fig. 7, the movement of the wheel h with its pin h3 is adapted to allow a counterweighted shaft u to rotate, and a lever arm w on this shaft opens a valve t inserted between the valve b and the main, the valve b being in this case continuously operated by the cams f<1>. A passage c<1>, in this case, gives a continuous small supply of gas. In either of the two forms described above, the cams k, i may be replaced by disks I, K, Fig. 9, formed with gaps I<2>, K<2>, and the disks can be set so as to vary the duration of the flashings. The valve t or the cams f<1> are moved by a spring-controlled lever 0 provided with a roller M or a pin N, or with both. When both are used, the lever 0 is moved when the pin N comes opposite the gap in the compound cam, and the lever is returned when the roller ascends the other side of the gap. The hour gear may revolve once in twelve hours, and the controlling means may be held idle during twelve hours of the day.

Abstract: 27,181. Bloxam, A. G., [Norddeutsche Wollkõmmerei und Kammgarnspinnerei]. Dec. 9. Combing - machines. - The combed sliver from a Heilmann machine is separated into slivers containing the longer.and the shorter fibres respectively. The combed sliver from the drawing- off rollers d, d' is carried bv a belt e between rollers p, p<1>, the roller p<1> being at this time raised, to rollers q, q<1> which feed it through an open grid comb s, s<1>. After a length of sliver has been so fed, the comb s descends through the grid to penetrate it, the roller q<1> is raised, and the roller p<1> is lowered to grip the sliver. A beater r then descends between the rollers p, p<1> and q, q<1> and pulls back the longer fibres, which are gripped by the rollers p, p<1> from the comb s, s<1> carrying them down to rollers t, t<1>. At the next advance of the sliver, the longer fibres are thus drawn off by the rollers t, t<1> to form a sliver II, the shorter fibres being passed through the grid to the delivery rollers c, c<1>, forming a sliver I. The sliver is initially fed by a gill f and is combed by the combs a, g, from which it is delivered to the belt e which rotates the roller p. The rollers q, c are intermittently rotated by gear-wheels 9, 10 operated from a shaft by a link 11 and friction clutch 11<a>. Similar gearing operates the roller t through a gear-wheel 13. The beater r is oscillated by a cam z, and the upper rollers p', q<1> are raised and lowered by a cam v actuated from the shaft of the beater r.

Title: Improved Means for Automatically Controlling the Temperature of Superheated Steam.
Inventor: PATERSON WILLIAM
Filed: 1908-07-24
Granted: 1909-07-22
Abstract: 15,788. Paterson, W. July 24. Thermostats.- A thermostat, for controlling the temperature of superheated steam by supplying saturated steam to it through a bypass valve, closes the circuit of a solenoid, w h i c h actuates the valve either directly or through a pilot valve ; the thermostat may close the circuit of a reversing electric motor, which actuates a flap valve and reverses when the temperature falls to a certain minimum. In the form shown in Fig. 1, a solenoid v lifts a block of iron s carrying a pilot valve r, which allows steam to escape from one side of a piston h to the atmosphere through an outlet t, the piston being then raised by pressure of steam to open a valve a. When the pilot valve is closed, steam leaking past the piston through a port k balances the piston, and the valve is closed by a weighted lever n. In order to reduce the loss of steam, the arrangement shown in Fig. 5 may be used, in which the solenoid operates two valves 26, 27, one controlling the supply of steam to the upper side of the piston, while the other 27 controls the outlet to the atmosphere. In this case the valve a is closed by a spring 34. The solenoid may act directly on the main valve, a dash-pot with a screw controlled regulator being used. Otherwise the thermostat may close the circuit of a reversing electric motor 4, Fig. 10, either directly or through relays 12, 13, the motor operating a flap valve a through a quadrant 6. A projection on the quadrant opens one of two switches 9, 10 when the valve is fully open. A brake may be applied to the motor.
