Title: Improvements in and relating to Vats for Dyeing and like purposes.
Inventor: DEAN JOSEPH
IPC: D06B3/26
Filed: 1909-03-18
Granted: 1909-08-19
Abstract: 6486. Dean, J. March 18. Circulating or passing fluids through materials; circulating or passing materials through vats and the like.-Vats for dyeing &c., particularly those in which material in rope or open form is placed in and travelled through the contained liquid by drums or rollers, carried above or at the side, are constructed with a steam-injector to heat, and means for maintaining a good circulation of, the liquid, the usual steam-pipe being practically omitted. The vat A is formed with two intersecting channels, one A covered by a perforated guide G, which crosses the bottom horizontally, and the other B starting at the bottom at one side, crossing the bottom at rightangles to the first and continuing up the opposite curved side, preferably gradually onlarging to the outlet C. Into this channel projects a steam-injector D, of which the nozzle D<1> reaches, preferably, to the centre of the first channel A<1> or just beyond. The steam forces the liquor up through the side passage B, the circulation being maintained through the perforations of the grid G. These perforations have their pitch increased as they near the side channel B, the central portion having none; or the area of the perforations may decrease towards the centre. With long vats there may be more than one side passage B with its injector D.

Granted: 1909-12-02
Abstract: 9685. Weplach, L. April 23. Gilding. - Relates to apparatus for covering articles with metal leaf, by which the leaf is fed from a roll to the work prepared with some adhesive, and is applied thereto by an elastic pressure - roll. According to this invention, a series of pressure-rolls d, f, g, &c., Figs. 1 and 7, approach successively nearer the profile of the moulding, and apply the leaf a thereto successively tighter. Side rolls 35, Fig. 1, may also be provided. The feed-roll b may be adjustably mounted, as shown at 5, 6, Fig. 7. The waste intermediate paper from the roll is removed by rollers s, t, which are preferably elastic. The mouldings then pass beneath a waste-box w, Fig. 1, where uncovered places receive a coating which is pressed by a brush 32 and burnished by a felt member 33. As shown in Fig. 7, rollers u, v distribute the waste, and the moulding is pressed by a roller against a felt burnishing-member 9. A number of mouldings may be treated side by side, and a wide feed-roll used, the strip from which is divided by cutters y, Fig. 8. The cutters may be mounted in a frame held up by springs 2, 3 in such a manner that it can be depressed and removed sideways. The various parts are made detachable; the mouldings may be fed along by rollers m, l, k, n, Fig. 7, or in any other convenient way; and the apparatus may be driven by hand or by power.

Abstract: 4090. Lake, W. E., [Bour, E. F.]. Feb. 18. Circular-flow type; working-fluid supply.-In a gas turbine of the kind described in Specification 609/09, the water-jackets of the combustion chambers are provided with outlets surrounding the nozzles by which the combustion gases pass to the rotor; and water is converted into steam which assists in driving the turbine. The compressors and valve-controlling rods are actuated from an auxiliary shaft driven by reducing-gear from the main shaft. Fig. 9 shows a combustion chamber D with a waterjacket G supplied by a pipe M through a regulating-cock m<1> and a non-return valve m<2>. Gases pass through the nozzle D<1>, and water from the outlet surrounding the nozzles is drawn into the turbine and converted into steam. After passing through the turbine, the fluids pass to a condenser, in which the steam is condensed, and from which the gases escape. Several forms of wheel gearing for driving the shaft AX on the cam wheel C are shown. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the main shaft A is geared through wheels a, a<1>, a<2> to the internally-toothed wheel C, which is sleeved on to the spindle A and fixed to the shaft A<x>, which drives the compressor pumps. In other forms the wheel C is supported at its periphery in shoulders on the casing.

Granted: 1911-01-12
Abstract: 7049. Summers, L. L. April 26, 1909, [Convention date]. Coking processes; coke ovens.-A coking process consists in heating a body of carbonaceous material on one side only, and causing the gases distilled from the cooler portions of the material to travel through the same towards the source of heat, and in a direction parallel to the direction of radiation of heat to the material, thereby causing the deposition in the coking coal of carbonaceous matter from the gas. Hydrocarbon gas from an external source may be introduced into the cooler portions of the material. In the form shown in Fig. 6, the oven is heated at the top only by flues 3 so that the coal at the bottom is cooler than that at the top, and the gas is withdrawn by a pipe 6. In a modification, the heating flues and the gas outlet pipe are arranged below the oven. Specification 3197/10 is referred to.

Abstract: 11,742. Whitehead, J. F. May 12. Lace.-Plain or patterned basket or wickerwork effects are produced by causing series of horizontal and vertical threads to float over the surface of the foundation fabric. The pattern is determined by the position of the horizontal threads c which are carried in traversing bars and tie at the edges of each stripe with heavilyweighted bobbin threads b, b<1>, b<2>, b<3> and with twister threads d, while the vertical threads a are carried in stationary bars and extend the whole length of the fabric. The threads c may be operated to work in adjacent stripes alternately, or may be pillared where not required for the horizontal-thread effects. In a modification, heavily weighted bobbin threads are used in forming the vertical-thread effects and the width of the stripes can be varied to obtain diamond effects.
