Granted: 1909-02-22
Abstract: 3837. Wanderscheck, H. Feb. 20. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Filtering - media. - Fibrous material, such as cotton, linen, jute, wood, and straw, used for filtering beer and other liquids, especially beverages, is cleansed from fatty matter by treatment with ether, alcohol, benzine, benzol, or similar solvent. All trace of the solvent is removed by distillation and by treatment with steam or washing in water. Either before or after treatment with solvent, the fibrous material may be subjected to the action of a dilute alkaline lye and boiled with an acid ; or superheated or other steam may be used instead of the lye and acid. The solvent process may be repeated. The product, after a bleaching, grinding, and washing treatment in a rag-engine, is passed to a coarse sifter before it is compressed into plates for use.

Granted: 1910-06-09
Abstract: 16,776. Greener, F. July 19. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Sights. - Relates to aperture back-sights of the kind that are pivoted at the side of the body and can be folded down when not in use, and consists in a construction whereby the sight can be raised to the firing position, as well as folded down by a single movement on the part of the user. The sight comprises two main parts, an upright stem A pivoted at the side of the gun, and a sleeve B mounted on the stem A and carrying the sight-plate J and the elevating-screw H. A stud G on the stem engages a slot F in the sleeve, this slot having two helical branches joined at the bottom to form a V. The sleeve is normally pressed upwards by a spring E. By this construction the sleeve can be rotated for a quarter - turn in either direction, this movement causing the sleeve B to telescope on the upright A and compress the spring E. When the sight is lowered, the projecting arm engages the top of the rifle and is turned. Conversely, when the sight is raised, the spring E, through the medium of the stud G and helical slot F, swings the arm back again into the position for firing.

Abstract: 17,895. Browne, C. H. Jukes-. Aug. 3. [Cognate Application, 1276/10.] Thermal interrupters.-In an automatic switch suitable for flash-lighting, a tube A surrounded by a heating-coil B is adapted on expansion to actuate a lever E, the other end of which is forked and carries contact-screws C, L which engage a contactarm H ; this arm is pivoted at 0 and is provided with a movable weight or ball which causes it to tilt over from one contact-screw to the other. When the arm is in contact with the screw C, the heating-coil is short-circuited and the left-hand row of lamps is in circuit ; when contact is made with the screw L, the right-hand row of lamps is illuminated while the heating-coil and left-hand row of lamps are in series, the current being insufficient to illuminate the lamps owing to the resistance of the coil. By extending the lever E and providing it with additional contact-screws, other circuits can be controlled by the heating-coil. The connecting-wire P may be replaced by another wire connected to a spring Q which makes connexion with a contact carried underneath the screw L, the spring Q being held off such contact by an insulated screw U until the rod A has commenced to expand. For use with large currents, the compound lever shown in Fig. 4 is provided. This lever comprises a main lever 1 carrying adjusting-screws 8, 9, the contacts 4, 5 being carried by two auxiliary levers 2, 3 which are held against the adjusting-screws by a spring 10.

Granted: 1910-09-01
Abstract: 10,536. Devoorde, E. von, and Wilkens, H. April 29. Lighting burners &c.-In a pyrophoric or other igniter of the kind in which an invariable quantity of combustible fluid is delivered to the wick at each operation, the wick is made of incombustible porous material and is ignited by the same operation which causes the delivery of the combustible fluid. The combustible fluid is contained in a reservoir a, having a passage which communicates with a chamber b but is normally closed by a spring-pressed ball valve f. On pulling out a drawer p, the arms of two bell-crank levers q engage inclined surfaces on two projections attached to a sliding pipe g, causing it to move upwardly to raise the ball valve f and so permit spirit or other fluid to saturate a wick u contained in the holder v. Subsequently a rack t engages with a toothed wheel m mounted on a spindle which also carries a wheel k having inclined teeth which bear against a spring-pressed rod h of cerite ore, flint or metal containing cerite. The rotation of the wheel k causes the production of sparks for igniting the wick u in the holder v, which may be detached from the drawer p. When the drawer is pushed in, the wheel k rubs against the rod h without producing sparks, and the bellcrank levers q turn on their pivots without opening the ball-valve f. Other means of ignition may be employed, such as a paper strip spotted with phosphorus composition which is ignited by friction.
