Granted: 1914-07-09
Abstract: 18,258. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin & Soda Fabrik]. Aug. 11. Tanning with special chemicals.-For tanning, water - soluble aromatic non - crystalline compounds are used, in which there is hydroxyl in the molecule but not more than one hydroxyl group in each nucleus, in which two or more aromatic nuclei are combined in the molecule by one or more atomic groups or polyvalent atoms, and which contain one or more acid salt-forming groups in addition to the hydroxyl group. The compounds used have the property of precipitating gelatine, and are other than those described in Specifications 8512/12 and 24,216/12 or mentioned in the Annalen der Chemie, Vol. 178, pp. 171-196. The following examples are given: -(i) Limed and bated hides are suspended in a solution of sulphonated dimethyl-dihydroxy-sulpho-benzide, with the optional addition of a salt, such as common salt. A series of baths of increasing strength may be employed, and the suspension may be replaced by paddling or tumbling. After tanning, the butts are freed from acid, fatted, and dried. The tanning - substance may be prepared by acting on dimethyl-dihydroxy-sulpho-benzide (obtained by heating ortho-cresol with sulphuric acid) with fuming sulphuric acid until a watersoluble product is obtained which is poured on ice and freed from sulphuric acid by means of lime or baryta. (ii) An aqueous solution of the product obtained by acting on sulphonated cresol with sulphur monochloride is used. The product is made by sulphonating cresol with concentrated sulphuric acid, cooling the mass, and pouring it slowly into sulphur monochloride. When hydrochloric acid is no longer evolved, the mass is poured on to ice, diluted, and boiled until the sulphur separates out. (iii) Thionaphthol - sulphonic acid B, as described in German Specification 50,077, is used. (iv) A neutralized reaction product of phenol, paraldehyde, and concentrated sulphuric acid is made into an aqueous tanning - bath with common salt. (v) The neutralized product from phenol, sulphuric acid, and glycerin or products obtained by the action of glycerin on phenolsulphonic acid are used. (vi) Tanning is erfected in a solution of the urea of 2-amino-5 naphthol 7-sulphonic acid. (vii) Sulphuric acid is added to a mixture of phenol, glacial acetic acid and grape sugar, and the resulting mass is dissolved in water and used for tanning after the excess of acid has been removed.

Granted: 1913-11-27
Abstract: 20,451. Fairweather, W., [Singer Manufacturing Co.]. Sept. 10. Sewing-machines; governing needle-thread; needles, vibrating.-Relates to improvements in machines having a laterally-vibrating needlebar and adapted to form either a straight-away or a zigzag seam, and consists in means for controlling slack of needle-thread to meet the requirements of changes in the amplitude of vibration. The needle-bar 6 is vibrated from a cam 22 on a shaft 18 driven by a two-to-one gear from the shaft 4, the amount of vibration being varied by the turning of a cam shaft 25, Fig. 4, to cause a groove 39 therein to vary the effect on a block 40 sliding therein, the pin 41 of the block 40 being connected to the lever 43. The shaft 25 is moved between adjustable stops by treadle-connexions, and normally holds the shaft in position to prevent endlong movement of the lever 43, to give a straight-away seam. The treadle-connexions also operate a rock-shaft 47, which is connected by a crank arm 53 and link 54 with a threadcontroller spring-stop collar 55, Fig. 3, loosely mounted on the hub 56. The collar 55 has a shoulder 58 against which the loop 59 of the controller spring 60 rests when not acted on by the thread, thus permitting greater take-up action when stitching a zigzag seam.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Torpedo Launching Apparatus for Submarine and Submersible Vessels.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER EUGENE
IPC: F41F3/10
Filed: 1913-09-16
Granted: 1914-09-16
Abstract: 20,936. Schneider, E. Sept. 16. Launching torpedoes. -Relates to submarine vessels provided with trainable torpedolaunching frames, and consists in means for raising the launching- frame above its housing and lowering it back after the torpedo has been launched, and also in various safety - devices. As shown, a girder frame A, Fig. 1, provided with grooves a<2> for guiding - studs b on the torpedo B, and with pneumatic unlocking and firing devices C, P, is fixed to a ring D which can be rotated about a circular plate E for training the torpedo by gearing d d<1>, n o<4>, o<2> o<1> worked by a handle O; and the plate E is carried by a piston G which can be raised or lowered by fluid from a pump J, the delivery from which can be stopped and reversed at will by a handle k. When the handle k is depressed to the position k<1>, fluid is fed under pressure beneath the piston G and lifts the frame A until a bracket f<1> on the pistonrod F abuts against a collar s on a rod S and restores the handle k to the normal position. The frame is then held up by swinging a stirrup T t under the end of the piston-rod F. This, at the same time, brings a projection t<2> above the rod S to prevent the raising of the handle k and thereby the lowering of the frame A, and withdraws a projection t<3> from above a nut U to release the training-gear. As soon as the training-gear begins to work, the projection t<3> becomes locked in a groove it' of the nut U, and it is impossible to swing the stirrup out of action and to lower the frame. The handle V of the firing-valve v is also locked by the nut U, and is only released after the frame has been turned sufficiently for the torpedo to have a clear way out. A scale X indicates the angular training of the frame. The compressed air is led from the valve v through a telescopic joint q<2>, the tubular piston-rod F, and a rotary bearing R to a cylinder C' for unlocking the lock C and starting the motor and the gyroscope of the torpedo; the compressed air then passes from the cylinder C<1> to the ejecting-piston P. To re-house the frame, the above operations are reversed up to the withdrawal of the stirrup T from under the piston-rod; then the handle k is raised to set the pump going in the reverse direction until the frame is brought down home, when the bracket f<1> encounters a second collar s<1> on the rod S and automatically restores the handle k to the normal position.
