Title: Improved Means for Polishing Cylindrical Articles, especially suitable for Polishing Cartridge Cases.
IPC: B24B5/01
Filed: 1910-02-28
Granted: 1910-08-04
Abstract: 4999. Nobel's Explosives Co., and Hodge, H. D. Feb. 28. Disk and wheel apparatus; block, rubber, and like apparatus.-A machine for polishing or buffing cylindrical articles, such as the metal heads of cartridge cases, is constructed with a step-by-step rotating table carrying a number of revolving spindles upon which the cartridge cases are automatically fed and then carried round into contact with a number of rotating buffing- wheels, and a number of non-rotary buffing-fingers which descend and polish the flat heads of the cases. The table 12 is intermittently rotated about the shaft 28 by means of a pin 10 on a disk 9 driven through bevel-gearing 7, 5, and 3 from the shaft 1; the pin 10 at each revolution enters one of the radial slots 11 in the table and steps the table round, a projection on a lever 13, actuated by the disk 9, entering a notch 15 in the table to lock it after each movement. The table carries a number of rotatable pins 17 provided with friction pulleys 18, which come into contact with constantly-driven friction pulleys when the pins 17 are to be driven. During the rotation of the pins, the cylindrical surfaces of the metal heads of the cartridge cases carried by the pins are buffed by wheels 44, and spring buffing-fingers 36 carried by a gate 37 descend on to the ends of the heads and polish them. The gate 37 is moved downwards at the proper times by means of a cam 39 on the main shaft 1. The cartridge cases are automatically fed on to the pins 17 from a table 59 by a rotating disk, guide, and inverting mechanism, and are taken off by spring catches 54 at the mouth of a vertical tube 55 moved through the gate by a lever 56 pivoted to the machine frame at 58 and to the gate at 57. An inspecting-finger is attached to the gate and descends with it, this finger automatically stopping the machine if there is no cartridge case on one of the pins 17. The feeding and delivering mechanism and the stop mechanism are of the same construction as described in Specification 9459/08.
Patent GB-191007438-A (GB)
Title: Improved Process for the Production of Tanning Agents from Waste Liquors.
Inventor: DICKERSON WALTER HOWELL
IPC: C14C3/24
Filed: 1910-03-24
Granted: 1911-02-23
Abstract: 7438. Dickerson, W. H. March 24. Processes and materials for treating hides and skins.-Consists in a process for separating the combined tanning - agents contained in acid waste sulphite liquors, or other liquors containing inactive tannic compounds, by the use of neutral or weakly-acid means, whereby decomposition of the liquors and subsequent discoloration are avoided. Waste sulphite liquors are preferably treated when fresh and hot from the digesters to ensure a preliminary removal of their free sulphur dioxide, by evacuation or by a stream of inert gas, to prevent its oxidation into sulphuric acid, which causes decomposition. This separation is effected by vacuum pumping or treating the hot liquor in a multiple effect evaporator of the film type which also concentrates the liquor. Alternatively, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, producer gas, &c. may be bubbled through the liquor or blown over films of it in a rotating device. During these treatments, which may be followed by a separate concentration, a portion of the lime is thrown down as calcium sulphite, the liquor being meanwhile cooled and rendered nearly neutral. The combined tanning matters are then liberated by treatment with neutral or weakly acid reagents, such as potassium bitartrate, aluminium or chromium sulphate, alums, carbonic, oxalic, boracic, tartaric, or oxalic acids, or very dilute solutions of stronger acids, such as hydrochloric acid. The supernatant clear liquor is decanted off and the sulphur dioxide liberated by the reagent is removed by pumping &c. as above described, with or without concurrent concentration. The use of oxalic acid for treating sulphite liquor is described in the Specification. In preparing extracts for drum-tanning, the substances used for avoiding the decomposition are those which do not precipitate the calcium or other inorganic base. Thus, hydrochloric acid will give soluble calcium chloride which passes into the finished leather and gives it weight. If aluminium or chromium compounds are used, they pass into solution, giving blended extracts. An alternative form of blended extract is obtained by using the treated extracts to leach out ordinary tanning barks or woods, or by mixing them with ordinary tanning- extracts.
