Granted: 1909-10-21
Abstract: 22,535. Humphris, F. Oct. 23. Milling.-Toothed gearing of the class employing helmetshaped teeth engaging correspondingly-shaped holes is formed by a generating process. One element, a tooth or a bole, is made wholly or partly of circular section, and the corresponding element is of form cut out by the rotation of a profile-line of the first element while the respective members perform, each as a whole, their proper relative motions. In Figs. 1, 2, and 3 are shown means for cutting holes to gear with circular teeth. A cutter x is formed with its cutting-edges corresponding to profile-lines of a tooth. The holewheel blank Y is mounted to turn about an axis A, the point B representing the position to be taken up by the axis of the wheel with the teetb. The cutter x is arranged radially from the point B in the position to be taken by a tooth, and the proper relative motions, to each as a whole, are imparted to the blank Y and cutter x. The cutter x rotating about its own axis of symmetry then cuts a hole y of the required form in the blank Y. An arrangement is described with cup - shaped cutters for generating teeth to gear with circular holes.

Patent GB-190919386-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Manufacture of Oxide of Zinc for Smelting.
IPC: C22B19/34
Filed: 1909-08-23
Granted: 1910-07-28
Abstract: 19,386. MacIvor, R. W. E., Hommell, W., and Metals Extraction Corporation. Aug. 23. Briquetting and agglomerating processes. - Zinc oxide is rendered dense and suitable for smelting by treating with zinc-chloride solution and heating the resulting oxychloride to distil off the zinc chloride for re-use. The distillation may be assisted by reduced pressure. Strong zinc-chloride liquors from wet zinc processes may be utilized by precipitating by lime or other reagent all the zinc in a part of the liquor and mixing the precipitated oxide with the remainder of the zinc chloride. Carbonaceous material, such as anthracite, coke, or bituminous coal, sufficient to effect the reduction of the zinc oxide in the subsequent smelting, may be added to the mixture of oxide and chloride before the mixture sets, and the whole may be moulded into blocks which, after the expulsion of the zinc chloride, may be put into the smelting furnace. If electric smelting is used, the carbonaceous mixture may be moulded into plates, rods, or any convenient form, which, after removal of the zinc chloride, are used as electrodes in the zinc smelting furnace. Specification 16,312/96 [Class 1, Acids, alkalies, &c.] is referred to.

Preferably the inside of the cap a is filled with insulating cement. A globe or shade l is clamped between the parts b, e of the casing, preferably on a resilient washer ; or it may be held between the second part e and the shell f, which preferably is of glass and may take various forms.
Patent GB-190921942-A (GB)
Title: An Improved Method of and Means for Manufacturing Mantles for Incandescent Gas Lighting.
Inventor: WERBER ISIDOR
IPC: F21H3/00
Filed: 1909-03-20
Granted: 1910-03-10
Abstract: 21,942. Werber, I. March 20, [Convention date]. Mantles.-The ends of inverted or upright mantles are closed in such a way that a uniform contracted part or " spider " is obtained. A piece of hosa is drawn over a mandrel 3 tapered at the top end, the part above the mandrel is drawn together uniformly from all sides by an iris diaphragm &c., and is severed above the diaphragm. The mantle is either tied and sewn on a suitable sewing-machine, or tied and sewn. To obtain a very thin spider, the contracted collar is seized by a clamping-device to transfer the mantle to the sewing-machine. The mandrel 3 is enclosed by a sleeve 2 and pressed upwards by a spring 5; and a clamping-ring 7 on the sleeve 2 serves as a stop for the hose, which can be held by tightening the clampingÀscrew. The iris diaphragm 10 is vertically adjustable on an upright 12, and is contracted by turning a handle 11. The clampingÀdevice, Fig. 6, may consist of a number of resilient arms 15, connected at their upper end by a head 16, and drawn together by a sliding sleeve 17. A central mandrel 18 may be provided, and is inserted in the contracted opening of the mantle. The clamping- device may be so supported on the sewing-machine that it can be rotated about its own axis. The sewing may be effected in a spiral and a radial direction. An alternative clamping-device comprises a spring button in two parts 23, 24, Fig. 9, one part being mounted in a recess 22 at the top of the mandrel 3. When the hose has been contracted and cut, the member 24 is pressed into engagement with the member 23, as shown in Fig. 9. Thus, the flange on the opening of the mantle is pressed flat instead of forming a collar. Another form of clamping-device, Fig. 13, comprises a sleeve 25 inserted in an axial bore of the mandrel 3, and a pin 27 inserted in the sleeve, the opening of the mantle being gripped between flanges 26, 28.

Title: Process for Producing Damask and similar Effects upon Fabrics.
Inventor: OPPENHEIM ALFRED
Filed: 1909-11-12
Granted: 1910-11-12
Abstract: 26,253. Oppenheim, A. Nov. 12, 1908, [Convention date]. Printing processe.-Fabrics of cotton or other fibre, vegetable or animal, such as linen, wool, silk, or jute, are given various damask, coloured, and goffered effects, usually by printing, by treating for from a fraction of a second to a few seconds, with weak or concentrated sulphuric acid, or substances having a similar caustic or corrosive action, such as phosphoric acid, zinc chloride, alum, or cuprammonia solution ; the effects are : increasing the strength of the treated fibre; altering the lightrefracting quality of the fibre ; enabling the fabric to take a permanent goffering or the like ; altering the receptivity of the fibre for various dyes. In an example, a protective coating is printed upon untreated, bleached, or previously dyed fabric, which is either mechanical, or chemical, such as alkali ; alkali may be replaced by an acetate in the case of animal fibres. After quick treatment with 30-100 per cent sulphuric acid, the fabric is at once well washed. A similar effect is produced by printing on the corrosive &c. substance with intaglio or relief rollers. The goods can be dried at once, or, while damp, can be treated in suitable pressing apparatus, preferably heated, such as smooth calender rollers, or pressing or goffering machines. The pressing or like effects remain permanent on the parts treated with sulphuric acid &c. The parts of the fabric not treated with the acid &c. lose the goffering or like effects on washing or stretching wet, or mercerizing, with or without stretching, calendering, &c., so that, for example, a fluted design running in the opposite direction to the line of the fabric can be obtained, giving a genuine damask appearance. The treated fabrics dye uniformly with direct dyes &c., while the treated portions are acted upon more strongly or even exclusively by basic dyes ; various effects are obtained by taking advantage of these circumstances. In one example a cotton fabric or undressed satin, bleached or dyed, is printed with an aqueous mixture of sodium hydrate, maize starch, British gum, sodium bisulphite, sodium or zinc hydrosulpbite, and glycerine. The fabric is dried and a thin layer of strong sulphuric acid applied, preferably on one side only. The fabric is at once rinsed, wrung, and well washed with or without precedent neutralization by aqueous ammonia &c. The Specification in the original form, as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a), comprises also the following matters : (1) The apparatus used for applying the layer of acid " may be an ordinary " Foulard (with suitable rollers, of course)." (2) A washing silk glaze can be given the fabric on the treated portions of it by using fluted rollers &c. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
