Title: Improvements relating to Dyeing Machines
Inventor: GILLIES DAVID
Filed: 1908-07-28
Granted: 1909-07-22
Abstract: 15,997. Gillies, D. July 28. Dyeing.-Hanks or skeins of yarn are dyed on a machine of the type in which a carriage reciprocating over a vat carries rotating hank-supporting poles. These poles d extend on either side of the carriage c, and are rotated intermittently by the action of pawls w, which are attached to a channelarm a treated centrally over the vat b on which the carriage reciprocates, and work with ratchetwheels m. The poles d are attached to the ratchetwheels m, one on either side of each, by means of metal sockets l, preferably set eccentrically to their axes of rotation. Variable eccentricity may be arranged for, in which case the poles can be set co-axially with their spindles. Non-return pawls o are attached to the carriage c. The carriage is reciprocated on the beam a by any suitable means, such as a worm-driven crank-disk p to which a fork-ended connecting-rod q is attached by means of a bolt adjustable in a diametrical slot, so that the stroke can be varied. The carriage c can be raised from or lowered on to the beam a by means of shackles g, ropes f, pulleys k, and a winding- drum h, which may be worked by worm-gear i and a handle j, or from the shaft s which drives the reciprocating-mechanism. The whole is supported by a swing-girder w and its standard e placed at one end of the vat b. A pair of guides v, at the other end of the vat b, steadies the carriage when lifted. The poles d, usually made of wood, may have porcelain sleeves x to prevent entanglement of the banks. The hanks banging on each pole have inserted a stretcher-bar y. Any convenient number of machines may be employed in conjunction with the same vat, and the whole may be fitted with a hood or cover if desired. According to the Provisional Specification, the arm a is not fixed but is itself pivoted to the standard e, and is raised and lowered with the carriage thereon ; and the driving-pawls are secured to the arm and supported over the carriage.

Title: Improvements in Ballasting Submarines and Submergibles.
Inventor: SMULDERS JOSEPHUS JOHANNES FRA
Filed: 1908-08-04
Granted: 1909-01-14
Abstract: 16,442. Smulders, J. J. F. M. Aug. 4. Submarine vessels ; ballasting. - The ballast weights C of submarines are placed in pockets D in the hull. At least two weights, placed respectively forward and aft, are employed, and one or more of the weights can be released by manuallyoperated mechanism from a single station. Means for automatically releasing the weights at a predetermined depth are also provided. The pockets D are preferably in the form of a truncated cone or pyramid, and the weights are of the same general shape but smaller, so that when suspended the bottoms of the weights are above the general line of the bottom of the hull. Each weight C is suspended by an eye E from a hook F on a rocking shaft G provided with a lever J prevented from rising by the piston-rod K of a cylinder M, into which pressure fluid can be admitted by a valve 0 operated at the control station. When the valve is opened, the piston-rod K is drawn from above the arm J. and the rocking shaft G can rotate so as to allow the weights C to slip off the hooks E. The pressure-fluid may also be admitted into the cylinder M through an automatically-opened valve S. The valve stem U is threaded at V so as to unseat the valve S when the stem U is rotated by means of the armature X of a solenoid magnet Y, the circuit of which is completed by means of a solenoid magnet E' excited when the needle C<1> of a water,pressure gauge reaches the electric contact D'. An electromotor geared to the valve stem may be used in place of the solenoid magnet Y.

Granted: 1909-03-25
Abstract: 18,832. Liske, H., and Z÷ller, A. Sept. 8. Arc lamps.-An economizer has one or more slits extending from points at or near its edge towards the apertures for the carbons to prevent it from cracking when heated, and to allow air for combustion to reach the arc and combustion-products to escape. The slits may divide the economizer into two or more parts, and may form channels which heat air passing through them to the carbons. A central opening for the carbons may be continued to form a radial slit, or there may be two such slits, as shown in Fig. 16, or three slits may radiate from the central opening, Fig. 6, or the economizer may be divided into quarters. The parts'may be spaced by projections o, Fig. 16, engaging recesses, or they may have their upper portions in contact. When air is to be heate d by contact with the sides of,the slits, these extend to the highest part of the cavity, and are in the plane of division of the economizer ; simple radial slots may be used, or passages i, Fig. 12, may be formed within the sides. The economizer may be made of ganister or fire clay.

Abstract: 8263. Siemens Bros. Dynamo Works, [Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges.]. April 6. Fusible cut-outs.-In plug fuses of the kind in which the insertion of an unsuitable fuse is prevented by providing the sockets with gauge-pieces of different internal diameters, as described in Specification 13,450/08, the gauge-pieces p<x> are provided with studs b adapted to bridge over the gap between the contact-pins a of the plugs and the bottom terminals m of the sockets, the contactpins a being made variable in length as well as in diameter. Thus a group of fuses adapted for the same potential but for different currents can be distinguished by varying the internal diameters of the contact-pins and gauge-pieces, and fuses adapted for different potentials can be distinguished by varying the lengths of the contact-pins and studs b. As an extra safeguard against the insertion of the wrong fuse plug, the bodies p of the fuse plugs may be made variable in length and diameter, corresponding screwed plug caps k being used. All the plug caps have the same diameter, adapters or sheaths a<1> being used to accommodate the plugs of smaller diameter. In order to secure good electrical contacts, the gauge-pieces may be acted upon by a spring.

IPC: D21H19/34
Filed: 1909-08-28
Granted: 1910-03-17
Abstract: 19,772. Galay, J., and Galay, B. Aug. 28. Coating webs.-A coating of collodion solution and powdered metal is applied to paper &c. by discharging it from a closed chamber or applying it in a closed chamber, and is fixed by passing the coated material through a stream of water flowing in the opposite direction. The water takes up the methyl alcohol as solvent, from which it can be recovered by' distillation. The thickness of the coating may be regulated by passing the paper between rollers in the water-bath, or by causing the coated material to ascend at an angle so that surplus solution runs off. The coating is applied by rollers dipping into the mixture, or, if smooth moist paper is to be coated from which the film can be stripped when dry, the mixture is run through a slot on to the paper.
