Title: Improvements in and relating to Apparatus for Bleaching and Creaming Fabrics.
Inventor: CHARLES CREPELLE-FONTAINE
Filed: 1905-11-22
Abstract: 24,126. Fontaine, C. Crepelle-. Nov. 26, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Void. [Published under Patents Act, 1901.] Bleaching; dyeing. - Lengths of fabric or threads in hanks or reels are bleached or dyed in a closed vessel A vacuum is created and the treating liquid introduced under r pressure. When fabric is being treated, the pieces are wound from one roller on to another, automatic reversing of the rollers occurring when complete transference has taken place. One pair or more than one pair of rollers may be used, and also small loose rollers to increase the lengths of material in direct contact with the liquid. The roller shafts pass to the exterior of the apparatus, suitably packed, and carry bevel pinions f, f<1>, Fig. 8, which mesh with others g, g<1> running loose upon shafts s carrying driving-pulleys h. The pinions g, g<1> are driven alternately by a claw-sleeve i sliding on the spindle and shifted from one to the other by the following device :-Inside the apparatus, Fig. 6, rollers k, k<1>, carried by levers keyed to a spindle passing through the walls, are arranged so that one is pressed over by the strongly stretched material x when either roller is empty, and, moving a lever l, causes a counterweight m to fall in one direction or the other, carrying with it the claw-sleeve i, and so altering the direction of running of the rollers. In operation, the rollers being started, the cylinder a, and contained material, is exhausted of air and the treating liquid subsequently admitted, under pressure of air, vapour, or carbonic or sulphurous acids, or of a pump. These operations may be repeated as often as required. The construction of the apparatus may vary, depending upon the materials treated ; thus, banks of cotton, flax, or jute may be placed pell-mell upon rollers actuated from outside the apparatus. Similarly, bobbins may be arranged indiscriminately or upon perforated tubes. Raw material Y, Fig. 9, may be arranged hap bazard about a double circulation tube c, which has an inlet u and outlet t attached to the wall v of the vessel. The vacuum causes the liquid to pass through the material and then through the central reservoir into the suction reservoir of the pump. In the second part of the process, the discharge is throttled to maintain the internal pressure. Perforated bobbin tubes may be attached to the double circulation tube, the liquid traversing all the layers of yarn thereon. The tube is stated to be applicable to any kind of drying-apparatus. The materials may be prepared for bleaching or dyeing by washing in or out of the machine. Dyeing all colours, particularly blues and blacks, on raw materials, threads, and fabrics, may be effected in the apparatus.

Title: Improvements relating to Means for Recording and Reproducing Sounds.
Inventor: HOLDEN WILLIAM HORACE
Filed: 1907-12-28
Granted: 1908-12-28
Abstract: 28,561. Holden, W. H., and Hansard, A. G. Dec. 28. Optical instruments.- In apparatus in which a photographic record is obtained of the variations in intensity of a beam of light in accordance with vibrations produced b y sound waves; the photographic impressions are made of variable opacity and constant in width. Positioning means are employed to cause the beam of light to move in a direction non-coincident with the movement of the sensitive record, so that practically the whole surface of the record may be utilized. The sound waves vibrate a shutter o, Fig. 1, either by a diaphragm n and lever m, or by a telephone transmitter and electro-magnets. The shutter o, Figs. 6 and 7, is normally held by a spring p over an aperture q' in a fixed diaphragm q. The rays of light pass through lenses j, Fig. 1, and the shutter o and fall on a film f ; a viewing-aperture j<1> is provided in the lens cell. The positioning- means comprise a disk a with equidistant radial slots b rotating before a camera front having a curved slit d ; the width of the record may be varied either by using a disk with more radial slots b and partly masking the slit d, or by moving the axis c of the disk a nearer the slit d and altering the curvature of the slit. A series of curved records h are thus formed, but the record may be made continuous by oscillating a disk having only one radial slot b in front of the slit d. By making the slit d straight in this latter case, a straight record is produced ; by traversing an endless band with transverse slots across a camera front having a slit lengthways of the band, a record with straight parallel bands is produced. A traversing or oscillating band or carrier having a slit of the required shape may be used without any intervening screen. In a modification, Fig. 9, lenses coincide with apertures b in the disk, and are moved in front of the slit d, and, instead of devices having apertures, material of a transparent nature may be utilized, with parts rendered opaque.
