Title: Improvement in or connected with the Production of Oxidation Black on Animal Fibres, Mixtures of Animal and Vegetable Fibres, and Fabrics made from the same.
Inventor: KONITZER FRANZ
Filed: 1904-10-08
Granted: 1904-12-08
Abstract: 21,634. K÷nitzer, F. Oct. 8. Dyeing.-The fast aniline- or oxidation-black dyeing of animal fibres, alone or in mixed fabrics, is accomplished by dyeing the animal fibre with Prussian blue or certain cyanogen compounds, before or after the oxidation process. This is done, preferably, in a bath of potassium ferricyanide and sulphuric acid, only sufficient of the latter to decompose the ferricyanide being used if vegetable fibres are present. Tin salt may be added, but offers no advantage. Other ferricyanides, potassium or other ferrocyanides, the double cyanides of potassium or sodium and manganese, chromium, cobalt, nickel, copper, or uranium, and sodium or other nitro-prusside may be used. The greening, ageing, or oxidation, and the subsequent chroming are effected as usual. On pure animal fibre, the black colours may be developed by steaming. The material is finally washed and soaped. Other organic amines, such as diphenylamines, may be used in place of aniline, giving different shades of black.

Title: Improved Method and Means for Indicating Relative Movement of Parts of Rotating Shafts.
Inventor: AMSLER ALFRED
Filed: 1905-05-17
Granted: 1906-01-18
Abstract: 10,410. Amsler, A. May 17. Dynamometers ; indicating variations of position of movable structures.-For the purpose of estimating the thrust and turning moment of a fast-running shaft, a spring section is inserted between two portions of the shaft, one of which bears a longitudinal scale and the other a transverse scale. These are arranged to overlap, arid the reading is taken through a slot in a screen carried by the shaft. Figs. 4 and 5 show the spring between the shaft t ends 1, 2 and the scales 8, 9 upon overlapping bosses, one of which carries the screen 4 with its observation slit 5, the readings depending upon persistence of vision. In a modification, only the torsion is measured, for which purpose the spring is replaced by a reduced elastic length of shaft and the scale 9 by a reference mark. With these arrangements, a reading can be obtained at any angle round the shaft and any alteration of stress during a revolution detected, but in the modification<*> of Fig. 6 the reading depends upon instantaneous spark-illumination of the scales and can only be made in one position. The contact arrangement, battery, and induction coil shown produce a spark between electrodes 12, 13 at each revolution. The scales may be photographed, and the method may be applied to reciprocating parts, toothed wheels, and the like.

Looms combined with fabric-finishing apparatus; weft, cutting.-In looms for weaving fabrics with large checks or like patterns with various wefts, apparatus is provided for removing the loose loops of weft which are formed at the selvedges between two stripes of the same weft. A sliding bar 3 is supported at the rear of the breast beam 1, and is reciprocated endways by a radius arm 3<1>, pivotally connected to the bar and to a bracket on the lay, or by other suitable means. Mounted on the bar 3 are two spring jaws 5, 6, which pass respectively over and under the fabric 2 as the bar 3 moves towards the centre of the loom. A spring arm 7 is secured to the jaw 5, and has a cam-portion 7<1> and a cutting-edge 7<11>. A bracket 9 is adjustably secured to a slotted bar on the breast beam, and has two projecting lugs 10,11. As the jaws 5, 6 are withdrawn from the fabric, the lug 11 engages a cam-block 12, which is pivotally attached to a block 6<1> on the jaw 6, and the jaw 6 is raised, so that any projecting loop of weft is caught between the block 6<1> and the jaw 5. The lug 10 then acts upon the cam-surface 7<1>, and the edge 7" of the arm 7 is depressed through a hole 5<1> in the jaw 5, and co-operates with the block 6<1> to cut the end of weft. To assist the jaws in seizing the projecting loop of weft, a wire feeler 13 in employed, which comes against the underside of the fabric as the jaws move outwards, and on reaching the edge of the fabric passes up between the edge and the loop of weft, drawing the loop slightly outwards. Any other form of cutter may be employed, and may be actuated like scissors or with an angular or circular movement, and the jaws may otherwise be actuated by means of cam-slots. A similar device is placed at the other end of the breast beam, one bar 3 serving to operate both devices.
