Title: Belt Shifting Appliance for use in connection with Speed Cones.
Inventor: REDMAN JOSEPH
Filed: 1905-03-09
Granted: 1906-01-04
Abstract: 4932. Redman, J., Redman, T., and Hodman, E. S., [trading as Redman & Sons, C.]. March 9. Planing &c.-A device for shifting belts upon speed cones, used particularly in c o n - nexion with the operation of metalplaning machines, consists of two belt forks or loops, one of which forces the belt off a larger to a smaller pulley, while the other, taking up the slack, lifts the other end of the belt off a smaller to a larger pulley. The forks or loops A, B are pivoted upon studs C in a casting D mounted upona sliding bar or support E, which lies and moves between, and parallel with, the shafts and sets of speed cones, and is carried by the hangers supporting such shafts. The sliding bar E has a toothed rack at one end, which engages a pinion carried by a bracket bolted to the support, the pinion being operated by means of a chain-wheel on the same axle. If the shifting-device is moved in the direction indicated by the arrow, the loop A, held rigid by the stop J, forces the belt off the larger on to the next smaller pulley. The lower loop B is at first prevented from following ; butthe tension of the spring K connecting the two arms by the studs J<1> causes the loop B, as soon as slackness results from the movement of the other end of the belt, to jerk its own end of the belt from the smaller to the next larger pulley.

Granted: 1905-12-30
Abstract: 11,404. D÷rwald, G. L. M. May 31. Gas or explosive-vapour engines, carburetting in. A carburettor is described which allows light hydrocarbon such as petrol to be used at starting and heavy hydrocarbon such as petroleum to be used when the walls of the carburettor are sufficiently hot to vaporize the heavier fuel. The mixing-chamber a is wholly or partly surrounded by a jacket b which receives the exhaust gases from the pipe c. The spraying-chamber e, serving also as an air-inlet pipe, is provided with two nozzles f, g, the former supplying petrol and the latter the heavy oil. These nozzles are controlled by valves on a lever h pivoted at i, the lever being actuated by a pin n fixed to the upper side of a suitablyshaped receptacle m containing mercury or other substance that expands on the application of heat. At starcing, the valve p in the exhaust pipe c and the petrol valve only are open ; after operation for some time, the pin n raises the lever h, closes the petrol valve, opens the petroleum valve and an air valve which supplies the additional air required, and almost immediately aflter closes, by means of links s, r, q, the valve p, the exhaust being then directed through the chamber into the outlet, so as to prevent overheating of the jacket. A valve v opens when the piston speed, exceeds a predetermined amount. The receptacle m may be made of corrugated metal or other. suitable substances. The petrol and petroleum are fed from separate sources.

Patent GB-190517241-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Production of Brown Shades on the Fibre, with, or without, White, or Coloured, Discharge Effects.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1905-08-25
Granted: 1906-04-12
Abstract: 17,241. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Aug. 25. Dyeing.-Full-brown shades, fast to washing, are produced on the fibre without weakening thereof, by oxidizing, with a chlorate in the presence of a vanadium compound, p-phenylenediamine, or a homologue or isomer thereof, in the presence of insufficient mineral acid to combine with the whole thereof. White or coloured discharges may be obtained. If p-phenylenediamine hydrochloride is used, a greater part or the whole of the hydrochloric acid is neutralized by, for instance, sodium acetate or formate or by an alkali. An example of a bath is as follows : p-phenylenediamine is dissolved in hot water, and there is added a quantity of cold water, then suitable quantities of rongalite C (sodium formaldehydesulphoxylate), aqueous solutions of sodium chlorate and ammonium chloride, glycerine-tartar-emetic solution, and then more cold water. A small quantity of ammonium vanadate is added shortly before the bath is to be used. Only such amount of the bath should be prepared as can be used within a short time. The rongalite C keeps the bath colourless or nearly colourless for some time. In its place, other bodies such as hydrosulphite N.F. (formaldehyde-hyposulphite) or a bisulphite may be used. The glycerine-tartar-emetic solution may be omitted, but it also increases the stability of the padding-mixture, and further, it is stated, material padded with the bath containing it keeps better when the material has to be kept before being worked up. It is prepared by dissolving tartar-emetic in a mixture of glycerine and water. Instead of a vanadium salt being added to the bath, the material may be treated first with a vanadium compound, such as vanadium ferrocyanide. After being treated, the material should be dried rapidly without being too strongly heated and can then be steamed, in a Mather-Platt apparatus, for example, if a uniform shade is desired. For discharging, pastes containing a sulphite, bisulphite, hyposulphite (hydrosulphite), or the like may be used. For instance, the treated and dried material may be printed with a paste containing potassium sulphite, sodium acetate, and hydrosulphite N.F., and then steamed. A pure white on a full-brown background is obtained. Coloured effects can be produced by adding to the paste a basic dye which is stable against hydrosulphite, and can be fixed by tannin with the addition of sodium acetate, chalk, or the like. The paste should contain less reducing-matter than is used for discharging azo dyes, the procedure being otherwise the same. The usual precautions should be followed, such as adding phenol or aniline to the paste.

Title: Machine for Shutting Up Paper Bags, Wrappers and the like.
Inventor: WERLE GEORG
Filed: 1906-10-19
Granted: 1907-04-18
Abstract: 23,222. Werle, G. Oct. 19. Packeting; parcelling.-In a machine for closing paper bags, wrappers, &c., the bag &c. to be operated upon is placed upon an adjustable table and adhesive is applied to the sealing-flap by a swinging gummer. A retaining-plate prevents movement of the bag when the gummer is withdrawn. The sealing - flap is closed by means of a pivoted folder. Three arrangements of the mechanism are described. In the arrangement shown-in Figs. 1, 3, 4, and 6, the bag v is placed upon the adjustable table p with the sealing-flap w resting against the edge of the folder r, as shown in Fig. 3. The sealing-flap w is pasted, and the body of the bag at the same time pressed against the fixed piece q, by the spring-controlled pivoted paster g, which is oscillated by the lever 2<111> and is guided by the roller s bearing on the cam-piece t. During the downward. swing of the paster g, it receives a fresh supply of adhesive from the roller b, which is mounted on an horizontally-reciprocating carriage d and takes adhesive from the roller c in the tank z. The sealing-flap w is retained in position, when the paster g retires, by the epring- controlled retaining-plate o, which swings out of the way as the folder r turns to fold over the sealing-flap upon the body of the bag. The cam which operates the sliding carriage d is so arranged that, when the roller b has been separated a short distance from the roller c, the carriage d remains stationary for a short time, to allow the threads of adhesive formed by separation of the two rollers to break and thus prevent clogging of the machine. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 7, the bag is placed against the adjustable spring - pressed plate 14 and is gummed by the rubber strip 10 mounted on the lever 11, which is pivoted to the sliding rod e and is oscillated about the centre e<1> by the rod 12. When the sealing-flap has been gummed, the swinging plate n pushes the bag and the plate 14 beneath the folder r, which afterwards oscillates to complete the folding-operations. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 8 and 11, the bag is, placed with its bottom upon the adjustable support 25, and its upper part resting on the plate 11 and pivoted folder 4. The sealing-flap is gummed by the pivoted gammer 18, the bag being retained in position, as the gummer recedes, by the retaining-piece 22 pivoted on the fixed bracket 20. The gummer 18 receives gum from the oscillating dabber 15 in the tank 12.
