Title: An Improved Moistening Device for Postage Stamps, Labels, Envelopes and the like.
Inventor: RAUSCHENBACH FRIEDRICH MAX
Filed: 1908-09-08
Granted: 1908-10-29
Abstract: 18,883. Rauschenbach, F. M. Sept. 8. Damping envelopes and the like. -In a damping- device of the type in which the liquid is caused to flow to a pad by pressing the yielding walls of a receptacle, a sponge or the like, saturated with a hygroscopic substance, is situated above the pad and extends to a level above that at which the pressure is applied to the sides of the receptacle. In the construction shown, the device comprises two concentric tubular members, the outer of which is rigid and has apertures f exposing the inner flexible tube. The sponge g extends above the apertures f. Water is poured into the receptacle, which is then closed by a screw stopper d. The pad e is moistened by pressing the inner tube, and when the pressure ceases the sponge re-absorbs the water in the pad, preventing leakage.

Granted: 1909-07-01
Abstract: 19,568. Leach, R. W., and Saunders, H. A. Sept. 17. Welding; flanging.-In a machine for welding flanges, collars, &c. on iron or steel tubes, the tube is rotatably mounted in a carriage, movable between a furnace and the welding-machine. The carriage c is traversed by manual power or by mechanism from the shaft q, along rails either laterally or in a circular path round the pivot f, so as to arrange it in front of the welding-machine b or the furnace. The tube m may be rotated by hand or from the shaft q which is rotated by bevel gear s from pulleys r or directly from an electric motor, and is arranged to rotate the tube m through a spur gear p movable on the shaft q, an idle wheel o and a gear n on the shaft k. The gears are mounted in a longitudinally movable headstock, the idle wheel o being carried by links 3, 4 to admit of vertical adjustment of the headstock by screws z, and bevel-gear from horizontal shafts connected by chain gear. To reduce jar and form a resilient drive the shaft k, which is connected to the cone carrying the tube by a ball joint, has a driving-collar k<1>, Fig. 3, separated from the cone by springs l<2> and driving it through spring-controlled thrust pieces l<1>. The other end of the tube is supported on conical rollers g on a cradle adjusted vertically by a rack and pinion and worm or other gear. The headstock is moved along the carriages by a hand-wheel t to run the tube into the furnace or to the welding- machine, and the tube is rotated during the heating and welding operations. The headstock is fixed on the carriage by brakes u carried between plates v and actuated through any lever or toggle system from a screw w.

Title: Improvements in the Preparation of China Clay.
Filed: 1908-10-08
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 21,260. Salamon, A. G., Grace, C. J., and Exploration Co. Oct. 8. Pottery. - In the preparation of China - clay, instead of adding sulphate of alumina, alum, or sulphuric acid to promote the settlement of the clay from the clay emulsion taken from the mica &c. depositing- vessels, the liquid is treated with chlorine, preferably in the form of chlorine water with or without the addition of a small quantity of sulphuric acid. The clay is then passed through the filter press, and, when the cake is formed, all traces of the chlorine and acid are washed out. In addition to the rapid settlement obtained by this process, the ferruginous substances are rendered soluble and the other colouring-matters are bleached so that the clay is consequently whitened.

Abstract: 24,299. Lawson, C. B. Nov. 12. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Scoring and marking.-In golf scorers, numerals are arranged above and below a zero line so that the number of strokes for each hole above or below a certain average are recorded by a pointer &c. on a disk. Thus if the average be 5 and a player takes 6 strokes a pointer C', Fig. 1 will be placed at 1 above zero line A. If the second hole be taken in less than 5, the pointer is turned back accordingly. Two counting-devices for two players are mounted-on a disk a. In a modification, Fig. 5, arms c<1>, d<1> are mounted on opposite sides of a semicircular disk e marked with numerals starting from a central zero. In another modification, vertical scales are used with sliding pointers. In a further modification, Fig. 10, numerals mounted on rotatable disks are made to appear at orifices in a cover n. Numerals above or below a line X-X record strokes above or below the average respectively. In a further modification, Fig. 3, an extra pointer s pivoted at t is used to register holes " up " or 11 down " according to numerals shown on either side of zero line.

Title: Improvements in Devices for Locking the Doors of Railway Carriages.
Inventor: ROME ROBERT MONCRIEFF
IPC: E05B65/42
Filed: 1909-05-17
Granted: 1909-12-31
Abstract: 11,588. Rome, R. M. May 17. Railway-carriage doors, fastening automatically.- Consists in means for automatically unlatching the doors of railway carriages as a train enters a station, means for automatically retaining them unlocked, and means for automatically releasing the latches as the train leaves the station. The bolts f, shot by springs g, are withdrawn by a rod h with connexions i. The slot k of the bolt allows for the closing of the doors after the operation of the rod. The rod h is operated by a bell-crank lever l pivoted at o, Fig. 2, to a plate n, and at m to the rod. The longer arm of the bellcrank projects beyond the side of the train and carries a roller p, which, as the train enters the station at which it is desired to unlatch the doors, strikes an angle-shaped buffer-plate q, and accordingly moves in the direction shown by the arrow in Fig. 2, so shifting the rod h. The doors are retained unlatched while the train is in the station by a pawl u, which is urged into engagement with teeth u<1> on the rod h by means of a spring. To release the pawl u from the teeth as the train leaves a station, and thereby allow the latches to be shot by their springs g, the pawl u is provided with a depending arm w carrying a roller x, which strikes a bufferplate y fixed at the end of the platform at which the train leaves. The buffers are each provided with springs to reduce the shock as the rollers strike them, and they may be further provided with means by which one or both may be withdrawn from the path of the rollers should the train be passing through the station. These means may, if desired, be operated from the signal-box. Weighted hand-levers may also be provided for retaining the apparatus and doors in the latched position when the train is in the station, if desired.

Abstract: 133. Soc. pour l'Industrie Chimique Ó Bale. Jan. 4, 1909, [Convention date]. Anthranols.-A chloranthranol is obtained by treating with a condensingÀagent, such as'sulphuric acid, the chlorbenzylbenzoic acid made by reducing p-chlorbenzoylbenzoic acid with zinc in presence of alkali ; a methylanthranol is obtained from pmethylbenzylbenzoic acid ; chlormethylanthranols are obtained from the chlormethylbenzylbenzoic acids made by condensing o- or p-chlortoluene with phthalic anhydride and subsequent reduction of the chlortoluylbenzoic acids so formed. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), describes also the production of anthranols by treating with condensing-agents substitution derivatives in general of benzylbenzoic acid ; this subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted. Benzanthrones are obtained by treating with glycerine and a condensing-agent the anthranols prepared as described above, or by directly treating the parent benzylbenzoic acids with glycerine and condensing-agents. Instead of glycerine its anhydrides and ethers may be used, for instance mono-, di-, or epi-chlorhydrin, or acetin. Benzanthrone dyes.-The benzantbrones prepared as described above yield vat dyes on heating with alkali. The products dye cotton blue to violet tints. A sulphurized dye giving brown shades in a vat is obtained by heating the methylbenzanthrone with sulphur. Specification 7022/05 is referred to.
