Abstract: 18,303. Rogers, F. H., [Psarski Dyeing Machine Co.]. Aug. 12. C i r c u l a t i n g fluids through materials.-In machines for circulating fluids through materials, the materials confined by a cover having a central discharge are contained in a massforming and liquor-supplying member, which shapes the mass and establishes substantially equal paths of travel for the dye liquor through the mass. This member consists of a bowl having a flat part 16 coextensive with the discharge and an arc-shaped wall, the perpendicular distance between the cover and the flat part being equal to the radius of this arc. The bowl 15 is suitably secured upon a flange 7 on the interior wall of a tank 1, provided with usual circulation means 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The cover 9 is also carried on the flange 7, resting on a gasket 8, and is braced by webbing 11 which is cut away at 12 above the perforations 10 of the discharge, and is held in place by a ring 13 secured by clips 14 or otherwise. To prevent shifting of the material, the bowl 15 may have an upwardly-extending rod 17. In a modification, the cover may be provided with auxiliary discharge openings between the main discharge openings 10 and the edge of the cover, fewer and smaller than the latter. The central rod 17 is carried bv the cover instead of the bowl, which is substantially hemispherical. The tank 1, cover 9, and distributing-member 15 may be inverted so that the lines of flow are downwards towards the centre, instead of upwards towards the centre.

Abstract: 20,627. Levin, B. I. Sept. 12. [Cognate Application, 22,366/13.] Conditioning flour and meal.-Liquids are applied to flour, semolina, or other stock by bringing the material into contact with a slowly-moving surface moistened with the liquid. A roller A, endless band, or its equivalent is coated with liquid by means of nozzles C and a wick B. Surplus liquid collects in a trough L and the film on the surface is equalized by a roller H. Flour &c. from a shoot F is fed on to the roller &c. A and pressed into contact by the brush G which, moving at a higher speed than the roller A, also removes the flour &c., the removal being completed by an oppositely rotating brush G<1>. A brush or roller having the same surface speed and direction as the roller A may be used to press the flour &c. into contact with the surface. The wick B and its carrying- plate may be moved out of contact with the roller A about a pivot M', and this movement may be automatically performed on cessation of the flow of flour &c. by the rising of a scale-pan arranged in the shoot F. Any liquid then .supplied to the wick falls into the gutter L. The roller A may be moistened by immersing it, or a feed-roller in contact with it, in a tank of liquid, or by means of steam or other vapour. Or the roller A may be made hollow and of porous material, for example unglazed porcelain, having liquid supplied internally under pressure. The roller may be one of a pair of reducing-rollers.

Title: Improvements in Preparing Hides and Skins for Tanning and Dyeing Processes.
Inventor: HUART EMILE D
IPC: C14C1/08
Filed: 1913-10-21
Granted: 1914-02-12
Abstract: 23,841. Huart, E. d'. Oct. 21. Treatment preliminary to tanning. - Hides and skins after depilation are freed of the depilatory by means of the glycerol ester of phosphoric acid or an alkali salt or an alkalineearth salt thereof. The invention is particularly applicable where the depilatory is barium or strontium hydrate. Free glycerophosphoric acid may be dissolved in water, or an alkaline bate, such as glycerophosphate of sodium, potassium, or ammonium, may be employed, or the alkaline and acid bates may be used in succession. Small quantities of peptone, glue, glycerine, malt extract, bran drench, alkali bicarbonate, ammonium nitrate, or ammonium salts of volatile fatty acids may be added to keep the skin soft and to separate completely the strontium and barium compounds remaining in the skin. The spent baths may be revivified by adding sulphuric acid and clarifying them to remove the insoluble sulphate. A phosphatic manure may be made by adding lime to the baths when they have become charged with organic matter. The glycerophosphate bath may be used for treating tanned skins previously to dyeing, with or without the addition of malt extract, dextrin, or an alkaline carbonate, chloride, or nitrate. The effect is to remove the adhesive tanning-matter and harden the grain of the skin.

Abstract: 5330. Allen & Co., E., and Shaw, F. J. Oct. 9. Aeronautical photography; finders; cameras fitted with means for preparing and treating negatives; shutters, roller-blind.-Apparatus for exposing, developing, and finishing photographic films on aircraft comprises a chamber a, Figs. 1 and 5, for the film b, a camera d connected therewith, a tank f containing a combined developing and fixing solution for obtaining a positive or negative as desired, and a washing-bath h, together with means for feeding the film through the appara us. The whole apparatus, or the film chamber and camera only, is supported in spherical bearings a<2>. The film-winding gear and the gear for setting the focalplane shutter e may be operated by hand, clockwork, or electric power, or it may be operated simultaneously with a view-finding device which prevents overlapping of pictures on the film. This view-finder, shown in plan in Fig. 6 and in elevation in Fig. 1, comprises a frame i provided with diagonal cross-wires i', i<2>. Over the centre is mounted an adjustable bridge k carrying an eyepiece l. The bridge k is so adjusted that, on looking through the eyepiece, the view seen through the frame i is identical with that projected by the camera lens on the film b. On turning a handle m, which actuates gears n, n', chain-wheels o, o', and the endless chains p, p', the three lateral crosswires o<4> are made to travel successively over the field of view and may be used to determine the moment for exposure without occurrence of overlapping of images. The flexible shaft r operates the film-winding and shutter-setting gear through a helical toothed pinion s, Fig. 1, which drives a wheel t on the side of the camera, as shown in vertical section in Fig. 3, and through this a spurwheel u and pinion u<1>, which winds up the focalplane shutter. Overwinding is prevented by a clutch u<2>. A portion of the teeth on the spurwheel u are missing, thereby allowing the pinion u<1> to run back when the shutter is released. At the same time, the film is unwound by a spur-wheel v, Fig. 3, and pinion v<1> on a shaft c', Figs. 1 and 5, which carries a pulley c, teeth on which engage the film. The exposed film is passed through the tank f by means of reels f<1>, and is drawn from the tank over a reel f<2> into the bath h, in which it is wound on a spool h' driven, if desired, by clock-work h<2>. The film may be inspected as it passes the point f <3>. When the developing is not done at once, the film is wound upon a spool b<3> through a friction clutch on the shaft of the spool, so that the driving-pulley b<5> is allowed to slip when all loose film has been wound up.
