Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Fibres or Threads from Cellulose Solutions.
Inventor: TOMPKINS HARRY KNEEBONE
Filed: 1904-12-29
Granted: 1905-12-29
Abstract: 28,712. Tompkins, H. K., and Crombie, W. A. E. Dec. 29. Yarns and threads.-Relates to the manufacture of fibres or threads from solutions of cellulose in zinc chloride. The cellulose is first converted into hydro-cellulose by heating for about half-anhour with hydrochloric acid of specific gravity 1À06. It is then washed and partly dried otherwise than by heat, and is dissolved in a solution of zinc chloride, which is of such a strength that with the water remaining in the cellulose, the amount of which is determined by experiment, it will have a specific gravity of 1À88. After filtering, the material is squirted into a suitable liquid, such as methylated spirits, the squirted thread T passing into the setting liquid through a column of air enclosed in a tube B which slides airtight at its upper end C on the jet A. By adjusting the tube B upon the jet, the length of the air column can be varied as desired, and this length remains uniform although the level of the liquid S in the vessel E may vary. The tube B contains vapour which rises from the settling-liquid, and the thread in passing through it is partially set and drawn. With regard to the solution of cellulose in zinc chloride, the Provisional Specification refers to Specification No. 10,487, A. D. 1897.

Abstract: 87. Brown, A. T. Jan. 2. Typewriters.- Relates to automatically-reversing inking-ribbon mechanism for typewriters, and to a construction of ribbon spool. Vibrator arms 50. Fig. 3, each formed with a ribbonrguide-slot 53, Fig. 11, split at 54, are mounted on spindles 60 by means of a raceway 56 in the arm 50, a raceway formed by two disks 62, Fig. 10, on the spindle 60, and antifriction balls 64. Each spindle 60 is adjustably threaded in a side bracket 57, and is provided with a shoulder 65 for adjustment of the outer disk 62. A ribbon guide-pulley 66 is mounted on each spindle 60 and retained by a head 67. Adjustable links 48 connect the arms 50 to the universal bar 35. Ribbon spools 74 are mounted on spindles 86 threaded in the brackets 57. Gravity pawls 72 in the arms 50, and gravity holding-pawls 119 on the brackets 57, co-operate with ratchet teeth 73 on the spools 74. The spool heads are connected by a hollow core 75, Fig. 6, having a fixed serrated edge and a -movable resilient edge 78 for securing the ribbon 84. The edge 78 is displaced by means of an eccentric portion 83 of a spindle provided with a handle, which, when in normal position, serves also for turning the spool. Cam plates 93x, Fig. adapted to disengage the pawls 72, 119, are mounted on the spindles .86 and actuated oppositely from a rock-shaft 114 provided with a handle 118. Automatic reversal is effected as follows : a bearing- roller 101 is carried by a spring-pressed arm 98 mounted on an ;extension of the cam plate 93<x>, and ultimately drops into a depression 90 in the core 75. Normally, the depression 90 is filled by a segmental gravity plate 91 held up by the ribbon. When the roller 101 is in the depression 90, ratchet teeth 106 on an extension 105 of the arm 98 are in position to co-operate with the pawls 72, 119, whereby the cam plate 93x is moved to permit engagement of the pawls 72, .119 with the spool teeth 73. The plate 91 drops back into the depression 90 as the spool turns.
