Patent GB-190915828-A (GB)
Title: New or Improved Method of Preparing Wool or other Animal Fibre for the Mordanting, Dyeing or Printing.
Inventor: SCHNEIDER JOSEPH
IPC: D01C3/00
Filed: 1909-07-07
Granted: 1910-08-08
Abstract: 15,828. Schneider, J. July 7. [Addition to 6152/07.] Preparatory treatment.-The affinity of wool for mordants and dyes is increased by treating it before dyeing &c. with very weak solutions of caustic alkalis, of say À05 per cent. strength, at temperatures at or near the boiling-point. The invention is a modification of that described in the parent Specification, in which the treatment is carried out at ordinary temperatures but with stronger solutions, of a strength up to 32‹ T. The wool is first wetted with the alkali solution and the whole then raised to boiling. Formic acid is afterwards added, and then bichromate solution, the chrome being fixed on the fibre by sulphuric acid and the use of expensive reducing-agents being avoided. Scouring of the wool may be dispensed with by adding an extra small quantity of caustic alkali.

Title: Valveless Pumps.
Inventor: INOKUTY ARIYA
IPC: F04B7/06
Filed: 1909-08-03
Granted: 1910-01-20
Abstract: 17,906. Inokuty, A. Aug. 3. Pumps with reciprocating and oscillating pistons.-Relates to single-acting valveless pumps of the class in which a cylindrical casing with inlet and discharge ports is fitted with a plunger also having inlet and discharge ports, which are caused by the reciprocating and rotary oscillating motions of the plunger to communicate alternately with the ports of the casing. In such pumps, means are now provided for effecting full registry of the ports at the maximum speed of the plunger. As shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, the plunger rod is formed in two parts 17, 18, Fig. 3, connected to two arcuate arms 14, 15, rigidly spaced by blocks 21, 22 so as to form a slot in which the crosshead works. The rotating crank causes semirotary oscillations of the plunger rod by means of the arcuate slot 14, 15, thus bringing the ports 9, 10 into and out of register with the ports 3, 4 in the pump body.

Granted: 1911-01-10
Abstract: 649. Lyndon, L. Jan. 10. Arc and spark-gap apparatus, arrangements of.-In a direct-current distribution system supplied by an alternator through a static rectifier, means are provided for controlling the starting of the static rectifier. The positive lead 4 of the direct-current system is connected to the cathode 38 of the vapour rectifier u, while the anodes T<1>, T<2>, T<3> are connected to the alternator by leads 1, 2, 3. For starting the vapour apparatus u, it is supplied with an auxiliary anode T<9> which is connected through the secondary winding W<2> of a transformer to the cathode 38. The primary winding W<1> is connected during starting across the leads 2, 3 by means of a switch the movable contact of which is connected to the core Q of an electro-magnet, the winding C of which is placed in the distributing lead 5. After the alternator has been started and the potential across the leads 2, 3 has reached a predetermined value, the secondary winding W<2> starts the rectifier u. The current in the winding C then causes the switch 40 to break the circuit of the primary winding W<1> and short-circuit it through a resistance 61. When a singlephase alternator is employed, the winding C of the starting transformer switch is placed in the positive lead 4, thereby forming with the core Q the inductance necessary to produce continuous working of the rectifier u upon a single-phase system.

Filed: 1910-10-27
Granted: 1911-08-03
Abstract: 24,982. Becker, H. Oct. 27. Processes and materials for treating hides and skins.-Hides and skins are pured by a mixture of bacterial cultures and their metabolic products and enzymes together with digestive juices of the animal body or digestive enzymes, fatdecomposing substances being optionally employed in addition. The bacterial culture may be mixed with the corresponding digestive juice or purified animal or vegetable enzyme and the decomposer of fat, or the substances may be used separately, and preferably in such order as to imitate the processes going on in the intestines. With especially hard skins, a small quantity of papayotin or papain may be added to the bacterial culture medium; softer skins are treated first with a weak solution of the digestive ferments, and then with the bacterial liquor. Such substances as sugar, molasses, salts of ammonia, organic acids, or their salts, may be used to dissolve the lime. Sheep and goat skins particularly rich in fat are immersed in a bacterial liquor containing ground castor-oil seed or oil cake in suspension, and the fatty acids thereby liberated form soluble soaps with the ammonia derived from the proteid matter which breaks down. Hemp seed, or its extract, gall, or sulpho - ricinoleic acid may also be used for decomposing the fat.

Abstract: 8003. Hall, J. L. Oct. 14, 1910, [Convention date]. Ordnance, discharging by means external to breech mechanism.-Relates to electric firing systems for guns, and consists in making the firing-circuit the secondary circuit of a transformer, excited preferably by a rotary converter taking current from a direct-current power or lighting circuit. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the converter 10 receives direct current from the terminals a, b, through the switch 17, which closes the circuit only when the gun is in the firing position. The alternating current generated by the converter excites the primary 12 of the transformer T when the firing-switch 13 is closed, and induces a stronger, current in the secondary 14, which fires the gun.
