Title: Improvements in and relating to Mail and Package Delivering and Receiving Devices for Railway Trains and the like.
Inventor: FEBVRE FRANCIS XAVIER LE
Filed: 1905-04-27
Granted: 1905-05-11
Abstract: 8933. Le Febvre, F. X. April 27. Mail-bag catchers and dischargers.- Relates to means for transferring mail bags and parcels to or from moving trains with minimum shock. The discharger on the vehicle consists of an oblique arm 5, on which the bag &c. is suspended and is retained by a clip 7. The fixed catcher has arms 10, Figs. 2 and 3, which are bent as shown, so that when the bag strikes it is slipped off from the arm 5 and dropped into the basket 21, from which it falls into the lock-up receptacle 22. The innermost bars 10 are bent to give a V- shaped opening to ensure entry of the suspension 6, and the whole grid is pivoted vertically at 11, being normally held in the inoperative position, shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, by a weight and cord or by a spring 19. It is held extended for collection by a detent 20, which is displaced by the impact of the bag. For collecting on to the vehicle, similar sets of oblique bars 511, 100 are fitted to the track structure and car respectively, the bag being dropped on to a plate 102, which is hinged to the car so as to fold up when out of use. To allow for transference of bags when the train travels in the opposite direction to that shown by the arrow, the bar 5 and supporting-rod 8 are removed from the brackets 19 and are reversed. The rods 10 are reversed by rotating them about the pivot 14, and locking them by means of an arm 16, which bears on stops 17 at thc back of the plate 12.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Processes and Apparatus for Treating Cotton-seed Hulls or other Waste Products containing Fibrous Materials.
Filed: 1905-06-19
Granted: 1906-02-01
Abstract: 12,650. Knopf, C., and Bremer Baumwoll-Werke C. Knopf & Co. June 19. Washing; bleaching. - Relates to means for obtaining fitres from cotton-seed hulls and other fibrous waste and involves the use of washing and bleaching apparatus. The hulls &c. are first treated for about six hours and under a pressure of from four to six atmospheres in a vessel n with dilute solutions of chemicals such as the alkalies, alkaline earths, acids, sulphates, sulphites, aud certain bisulphites, which dissolve the remains of the hulls and the impurities and have practically no action on the fibre. When sufficiently disintegrated, the mass is passed into the washing and bulling apparatus. This consists of a series of bulling-vats d, d', &c. each containing a conical device e open at the bottom and having ribs f attached to the side. A mixing-device consisting of a screw or worm k and beaters l is driven by a suitable shaft and serves to wash and mix the mass thoroughly, water being introduced into the vats by suitable means. Between and connecting the vats are placed horizontal conical sieves b which are rotated by a shaft a. Each sieve is fed by a rotary scooping-device c, Fig. 2, which lifts the fibrous material from a vat into the sieve. A dish m is placed below each sieve to catch and convey the washing-water away. The fibre at the end of the process is dried by draining-rollers or centrifugal apparatus and carded. The rinsing-water in the vats contains a bleaching-agent.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the Manufacture of Incandescing Bodies for Electric Incandescent Lamps.
Filed: 1906-02-09
Granted: 1907-01-10
Abstract: 3225. Just, A., Hanaman, F., Landesberger, H., Salzmann, I., and Vereinigte Electricitõts Akt.-Ges. Feb. 9. Incandescent lamps.-Filaments of tungsten or molybdenum are made by impregnating organic fibres with compounds of these metals, carbonizing the fibres, and removing the carbon by known means such as by heating the filaments by a current in an atmosphere of steam containing hydrogen. Carbon filaments, preferably freshly incandesced, may replace the fibres, carbon being removed as before. The finished filaments may be flashed in the vapour of tungsten or molybdenum halogen compounds mixed with hydrogen, this enabling them to be made of any strength. The organic fibres, which may be cellulose threads, are impregnated with a solution of tungsten or molybdenum halogen compounds, tungstates or molybdates, preferably under heat in a digester with an excess pressure of 2 to 10 atmospheres, or a vacuum. Compounds which crystallize with difficulty or not at all are used, tungsten chloride and ammonium tungstate being suitable. After this impregnation the fibres are saturated with strong hydrochloric or other acid, to liberate tungstic or molybdic acid, this treatment being omitted if alkaline tungstates or molybdates are employed. Alcoholic acids are used with molybdenum compounds, to avoid solution of molybdic acid. The fibres may then be parchmentized with sulphuric acid, and are then carbonized and treated to remove carbon.

Granted: 1907-10-16
Abstract: 22,911. Bastian, C. O., and Calvert, G. Oct. 16. Incandescent lamps. - Electric conductors of copper or copper alloy are rendered capable of being hermetically sealed into glass or the like, such as an electric-lamp bulb, by making them wholly or partly of flattened form and very thin, and applying a closely-fitting covering of soft glass or enamel which is joined to the conductors by heating. Fig. 4 shows a flat leading-in wire X having a part coated with vitreous flux Z ready for sealing ; the coating may be applied by slipping a closely fitting tube of glass &c. over the strip and rapidly fusing it on. The coated strip may be bent to spiral or other form while the glass &c. is soft, and the edges of the strip may be rounded or chamfered. In a modification, coating is effected during sealing, an uncoated strip being sealed in, and a tube of flux collapsed on to each projecting portion so as to be fused to the lamp bulb. Alloys containing a large percentage of copper may be used, such as phosphor bronze, silicon bronze, and nickel bronze. The Provisional Specification refers to Specification No. 19,709, A.D. 1906, and describes various methods of coating conductors ; it also refers to the use of a thin tubular conductor filled and coated with vitreous flux.

Granted: 1907-09-05
Abstract: 27,529. Bell, W., and Bell, H. B. Dec. 3. Underlays and make-ready arrangements.-Halftone printing-blocks are constructed in such a manner that overlays or make-ready appliances are rendered practically unnecessary. In one method the face and back of the plate have the print burnt in, that on the back being a reverse of that on the face. The back is deeply etched and the plate is subjected to pressure beneath a sheet of lead, leather, gutta-percha, &c. The plate is pressed either when hot or cold. The face of the plate is thus rendered partly in relief and it is then etched ready for printing. By another method, a second plate is deeply etched and coated with an adhesive mixture consisting of Stockholm tar, resin, and gutta-percha. The half-tone plate, with the print burnt in, is then placed face upwards upon the etched plate and subjected to pressure as before. The two plates adhere together and the upper face is then etched. A sheet of bichromated gelatin which has been printed and developed may be used instead of the etched metal plate.

Granted: 1908-02-06
Abstract: 3805. Fox, H. L. Feb. 15. Carburetting.-In a carburetting-apparatus,means are provided for compressing the gas and storing it under pressure. Air is drawn by a pump 11 through the carburettor 5, which may be of the kind described in Specification No. 3207, A.D. 1904, and air is simultaneously drawn into a mixing-chamber 4 into which the pipe 8 of the carburettor opens. The admission of air to the chambers 4, 5 is controlled by adjustable valves 9<a> and non-return valves 9. The mixture is then drawn through a pipe 10 having a non-return valve 10<a>, and is compressed through a pipe 12 to a holder 13 provided with means, such as an adjustable spring valve 18, whereby, when the pressure of gas in the holder 13 has reached a desieed amount, no more gas is admitted to the holder, but any surplus is circulated through an intermediate tank 14. The pipe 16 is provided with a spring valve 16<a> set to a little above the pressure required in the holder 13. A spray carburettor with float feed may be used instead of the surface carburettor ; in this case the mixture is generated the required richness, and the mixing-chamber 4 is dispensed with.
