Title: Treatment of Hides and Leathers; Hair, Furs & Feathers; Yarns & Threads.
Inventor: VIDAL HENRI RAYMOND
Filed: 1908-07-15
Granted: 1909-03-18
Abstract: 15,009. Vidal, R. H. Aug. 29, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Feathers.-Consists in treating feathers and other materials either wholly or in parts with melted or dissolved paraffin wax, which is subsequently removed by an organic solvent, such as light petroleum or benzol, the removal being preferably carried out in a Soxhelet apparatus. The objects of the treatment are to give softness and brilliancy to the goods, and in cases where they are to be dyed or bleached, to protect certain parts from the dyeing and bleaching operations. Thus, a hide is rendered softer and brighter by being hot-fulled with paraffin wax which is subsequently dissolved out.

Title: Improvements relating to Road Vehicle Suspension Arrangements.
Inventor: WALTON FREDERICK
Filed: 1908-11-28
Granted: 1909-07-15
Abstract: 25,747. Walton, F. Nov. 28. Springs.-In a pneumatic suspension arrangement for road vehicles of the kind described in Specification No 12,978, A.D. 1908, the flexible or resilient members A are made comparatively small and are connected singly or in pairs or otherwise to a comparatively large reservoir B, the pressure of which may be maintained by a pump connected to any convenient moving part of the vehicle. The effect of the reservoir is to keep the pressure practically constant, thus materially increasing the range of flexibility of the air spring. A pressure gauge H and relief valve G are placed in suitable positions. Instead of a rigid reservoir with pump and relief valve, a flexible reservoir may be provided entirely closed. The form of the invention shown comprises also a single leaf spring, which prevents undue longitudinal movement without interfering with the annular spring A.
