Inventor: BASSFORD WILLIAM KIPP
IPC: F02M1/00
Filed: 1912-07-23
Granted: 1913-07-23
Abstract: 17,142. Bassford, W. K. July29,1911, [Convention date]. Vaporizers, external. -Two liquid fuels of different specific gravities are employed in alternation, the particular fuel in use being determined by the temperature of the mixture leaving the vaporizer, the lighter fuel being used at low temperatures and vice versa. The vessel D, Fig. 1, has receptacles 30, 31 for the two fuels used, the flow of these fuels to a nozzle 34 being controlled by valves 38, 39 connected to a threearmed lever 46 actuated through a rod 57 by a switch I. Mixture formed by air passing the nozzle 34 flows through the pipe 33, through a coil 21 in a heater C of the construction shown in Specification 9739/12, and through a pipe 48 to the engine. A carburettor E for additional light fuel has an automatic air-valve F. Exhaust gases from the pipe 25 may, according to the position of the valve 23, flow either directly through the outlet pipe 22 or. around the coils 21 and through the perforated plates between them. The valve 23 is actuated by an electric motor H, Figs. 1 and 4, under the control of a thermal mercury switch G placed in the supply-pipe. The valve 23 has an arm 66 moving over segments 67, 68 so that in its extreme position the arm is in contact with only one segment. As shown in Fig. 4, the valve 23 is closed and the switch blades 55, 55<a> are in contact with terminals 59, 59<a>. With a rise in temperature, the mercury rises and connects contacts 52, 53, in which case current from the battery 69 flows through the electromagnet 64, fields 74, 75, and motor brushes 79, 80. The switch blades thus engage terminals 60, 60<a>, bringing the other fuel into use and at the same time completing a circuit through motor fields 75, 74 in a direction to cause the arm 66 to move so as to open the valve 23. On a fall of temperature, the switch is brought to its former position, again changing the fuel, and the valve 23 is closed. In a modification, the vessel D contains only one fuel, the other fuel being contained in the carb³rettor E. In a further modification, the vessel D contains the heavy fuel and part of the lighter fuel, the remainder of the lighter fuel being contained in the carburettor E.

Title: Improvements in the Extraction of Nicotine from Green or Uncured Tobacco.
Inventor: VILLIERS-STUART HORACE
IPC: A24B15/24
Filed: 1912-09-06
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 20,347. Stuart, H. Villiers-. Sept. 6. Tobacco.-Nicotine is extracted from green uncured tobacco in such a manner that the tobacco may be used as a fertilizer or cured for smoking or other purposes. Tobacco is immersed in an alkaline solution and the nicotine dialyses through the membrane of the leaves. The process is preferably carried out in a series of cells each containing tobacco. The solution is placed in the first cell and, when a balance of the crystalloids is obtained, it is transferred to the second cell, fresh solution being charged into the first cell. This process is continued throughout the whole series of cells. The nicotine is then removed from the solution in the last cell by any well-known means, preferably by means of a hydrocarbon such as petrol, Scotch naphtha, or gasolene, the nicotine being finally obtained from the hydrocarbon by acidulated water. The whole process is repeated, the first cell being removed and an additional cell containing fresh tobacco being added after the last cell. If desired, the process may be carried out in a single tank; the solution pumped off to dissolve out the nicotine, and the hydrocarbon is also pumped off to free it from nicotine, the solution and hydrocarbon being subsequently pumped back to their respective tanks. If desired, the tobacco may first be dipped in the alkaline solution to free the nicotine and the leaves then immersed in a hydrocarbon, preferably paraffin oil. According to a further modification, the alkaline solution is heated to 150‹ F. and the nicotine is fixed in the solution by means of an acid, the solution being subsequently evaporated to concentrate the nicotine.

Abstract: 25,783. Boult, A. J., [Leeson, J. R.]. Nov. 9. Winding - machines; driving - arrangements; stop-motions; stop apparatus, non-automatic; thread-guides.-The traverse of the threadguides of winding-machines, of the type wherein the point of connexion of the thread-guide to a rocking arm is gradually shifted by means influenced by the growing cop so as to build cops or bobbins with tapered ends, is shortened by means independent of the thread-guide and adapted to bear on the cop. The invention is shown applied to a machine similar in general structure to that described in Specification 19,459/12. The traverse mechanism comprises a carriage J which is reciprocated along a bar I by means of an oscillating slotted arm D<2>, with which it is connected by means of a ball w freely mounted on a rod W pivoted at w<1> on an arm D<1> which oscillates with the arm D<2>. As the cop grows, it depresses a roller U<1> mounted on a vertically-sliding frame U, which, as it descends, moves the rod W about its pivot and so moves the ball w nearer to the fulcrum of the arm D<2>. A dogging-lever u<10> prevents the return of the frame U towards the winding-spindle after it has been removed therefrom. A spring z attached at one end to the rod W tends to keep the roller U<1> against the cop. The frame U carries an adjustable stop V which, when the cop is complete, tilts a lever V<1> and moves a lever p, p<4> into the path of a wheel b<6> and releases a catch that normally locks two levers S, S'. A spring connected with the lever S' then moves the lever S about a rod H<1> and causes a lever secured to the rod P to disconnect the clutch of the spindle. The lever p is also operated by a lever 0, which is operated by a spring o<2> when it is released by the stop lever M, n upon breakage. The rod P may be moved manually about the rod H<1> to effect the stoppage of the spindle. The spindles upon each side of the machine are driven by a single pulley and cone clutches. A key upon the spindle engages the quill or cop-tube, which is supported at its outer end by a spring-pressed live spindle. The thread-guide carriage is pivoted about a sleeve on the bar I and is pressed against the cop by a weighted frame L, and a bail m<1> is arranged to lift the thread out of the guide when the spindle is stopped, as described in the before-mentioned Specification.
