Granted: 1911-02-21
Abstract: 29,879. Collard, A. Dec. 21. Volatile solvents, recovering.-Ether, alcohol, acetone, &c. are recovered from the atmosphere of works by treating the air with sprays or showers of a suitable liquid solvent, from which the ether &c. are afterwards separated by distillation. The air passes in succession through a chamber 1, a column 5, and a chamber 12. Solvent from a pipe 6 is sprayed into the chamber 1 and into the base of the column 5, and from a pipe 15 into the chamber 12, while solvent admitted by a pipe 11 is showered by perforated plates in the column 5, which is also fitted with cooling coils. The liquids from the column 5 and the chamber 12 are fractionated in the stills 35 and 31 respectively, the partly exhausted liquid from the still 35 flowing to the still 31 for the exhaustion to be completed. The vapours from the still pass to condensers 42, 43 and refrigerators 45, 46. The chamber 12 is fitted with plates 13 which provide a zigzag path for the air.

Abstract: 4678. Rockstroh, M. Feb. 24. Stopping, starting, and like arrangements.-In a controlling-device particularly applicable for use with electricallyoperated printing and stamping presses, the fly-wheel of the press is driven from the motor pulley m by a belt A, which is tightened to start the press by'a tension roller h carried by a lever f normally raised to tighten the belt by a spring g. When the machine is to be stopped, the hand-lever a is operated, and a cam b thereon depresses the lever f, a weighted bell-crank d at the side serving to grip the slack belt between a projection c on the bell-crank and the roller h. The movement of the lever a applies a brake k to the fly-wheel.

Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Flax, Hemp, Rhea, or Ramie, and other Fibre Yielding Plants or Parts of Plants, for the Obtainment of Fibres therefrom.
Inventor: BLITZ RUDOLF
IPC: D01C1/02
Filed: 1910-09-26
Granted: 1911-09-26
Abstract: 4869. Blitz, R. Sept. 26. Retting.-In the preparation of fibres from flax, hemp, rhea, ramie, &c., the stalks, either in a broken or flattened or in a natural state, are treated with weak solutions containing fluorides of alkalies and either caustic alkalies or sulphides, with or without alkaline carbonates, and fatty matters, such as olive oil or other vegetable or animal fat or thick mineral oil, which will form soap with the other substances used. The solutions are used at a temperature of 100-212‹ F. for from two to three hours, or longer at a lower temperature. The material used varies according to the substance to be treated, and fluorides should always be used when siliceous compounds are present. The stalks are allowed to cool after treatment, and are then washed in cold water. By this means, the colouring-matter, extracts, and soluble gums are removed, but the natural wax and oil constituents are retained in a mucilaginous form, and are fixed in the fibres by subsequent treatment with a solution of weak sulphuric, oxalic, or citric acid, and an acid salt such as a sulphite, bisulphite, or metabisulphite of alkali or alkaline earth. The stalks, after final washing, are dried either in the open air or in drying-rooms. Extra long steam-heated troughs or tanks may be used for the treatment, and the stalks may be crushed if necessary.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Cooling Stereotype Plates.
Inventor: LOCK WILLIAM HENRY
IPC: B41D5/00
Filed: 1910-04-14
Granted: 1911-04-13
Abstract: 9096. Lock, W. H., [Campbell Printing Press and Manufacturing Co.]. April 14. Stereotype.-Relates to apparatus for cooling curved stereotype plates, particularly applicable for use with machines for trimming curved plates of the kind in which the plate travels by gravity down an inclined runway, and consists in means whereby the movement of the plate controls the supply of cooling-fluid. The plate travels on a series of rollers 11, arranged in an inclined plane, over a saddle 15, from ports 14 in which water is sprayed on to the inside of the plate. The water is supplied to the saddle 14 by way of a valve 20, which is normally held open by a spring 23. The valve is closed at intervals by a bell-crank 27, pivoted on a bracket 26 and connected to a link 28 reciprocated by a cam 29 on the main shaft 30. Between the bracket 26 and a collar 39 on the valve stem is a pivoted latch 36, the upper end of which lies in the path of the edge of the plate. If no plate is present the weighted end 38 of the latch drops between the bracket 26 and the collar 39 and holds the valve closed. After having been cooled the plate is released by the transverse movement of a stop bar provided with notches through which the edges of the plate pass. In a modification the latch 36 is arranged to be operated by a stop which controls the movement of the plate over the saddle.

Granted: 1911-04-25
Abstract: 10,096. Avery, W. J. April 25. Cutting stepped indexes.-Relates to a machine of the type in which the cutter is mounted for vertical reciprocation in a carriage which is intermittently and automatically moved over the book &c. The cutter E<2> is maintained bv a spring E<1> normally in a raised position within a carriage C<1>, which is adapted to be drawn along a slideway C by a rope D' connected to a weight D<2>. The cutter is stopped in its successive operative positions by the engagement with studs P on a curved bar N<2> of a counterweighted bar N<1>, which is pivotally mounted at its upper end on a verticallyadjustable triangular frame N and passes through a slotted link G<1>, Fig. 6, connected to the carriage C<1>. The link G<1> is carried by a pin G pressed continually towards the front of the carriage by a spring G<2> in order to keep the bar N<1> in engagement with the studs P. It is withdrawn therefrom at each depression of the cutter E<2> by the engagement with the pin G of a cam M on the cutter head, and it may also be withdrawn temporarily at any time, by the operation of a cam lever L. The frame N is adjusted vertically by the screw device R<1>, R to the position in which the distance between a gauge on the carriage C' and a gauge T<1> is equal to the length of the book to be cut, the position of the carriage C<1> in this operation corresponding to the last step of the feed and being denoted by a pointer V<1> working over a scale V. The gauge T<1> is secured to a carriage S', which is slidably mounted on a guide S<5> and connected to a block S<1> sliding on a guide S on the frame N. The requisite pressure is applied to the cutter head E by a cross-head H operated from power-driven eccentrics H<4> or directly from a foot-lever H<3>. A removable cutting-bed Y, Fig. 7, may be employed, such bed being clamped in position by a removable side piece Y<2> carried by clamping-brackets Y<3>. The studs P, Fig. 8, may be secured to blocks K having a dovetailed connexion with the bar N<2>; or they may be screwed or driven into, or forged in one with, this bar. In a modification indicated in the Provisional Specification, the triangular frame N is inverted so that the depending lever points upwards, and a counterbalance weight is attached to the lever below its point of support. The Provisional Specification describes also the use of pins &c. on which the side piece Y<2> of the cutting-bed rests. By this means, the packing-up of the cutting-block as it begins to wear is facilitated.

Abstract: 13,305. Jaburg, H. J. J. June 2, 1909, [Convention date]. Arc lamps ; electrodes.-An electrode which rotates as it descends is arrested by the engagement of a projecting portion with a stop at some distance above the arc, until this portion is burnt or melted sufficiently again to allow rotation of the electrode. The other electrode is supported by the first, Fig. 9. The electrodes may be elliptical in cross-section, or may consist each of a number of rods united by thin webs, Fig. 6. Such electrodes may slide through pinions geared together so as to rotate in the same or in opposite directions ; the rods on which the arc is formed may be at maximum proximity or placed as shown in Fig. 6 so that other rods k, l are heated before coming into use. Prismatic electrodes, or cylindrical ones made with projections or rotating eccentrically, may be used. In a direct-current lamp, the negative electrode may be a rod of coppered carbon, and is placed below the multiple electrode if they are in line. The projecting portions of electrodes may be of material which melts or burns more readily than their bodies. The rotation may be effected by a rack on a guide-rod a, Fig. 1, and by a pinion c and bevel-gearing enclosed in a small casing on the electrode-holder. The electrodeholders proper may be inserted in the carbon and clamped by springs or screws. The stop may be pivoted and roughened or notched so as to be rotated by the electrode.
