Granted: 1912-01-25
Abstract: 27,496. Bremer Linoleumwerke Dolmenhorst. Nov. 26, 1909, [Convention date]. Inlaid fabrics. - Linoleum with a veined , appearance is made by forming two or more sheets from differently treated linoleum masses contained in the hoppers f, g, h, uniting these sheets, and forming from the compound sheet a block, which is then cut into slices. Ordinary grained and variously coloured linoleum granules are put in the. hopper f and rolled into a layer between the rollers a, b.

Granted: 1911-06-08
Abstract: 29,274. Ochsner, J. Dec. 24, 1909, [Convention date]. Operating swinging doors. - The body of a refuse cart can be moved backwards until the front end is behind the forecarriage to enable a series of trap doors to open and discharge the contents clear of the forecarriage, the return movement of the body automatically closing and securing the doors. The body is supported on the underframe by rollers 5, capable of rolling within guards 18, and is moved by turning a cross-shaft 10, which has pinions 9 gearing with, racks 12 on the underframe. The body is divided into compartments, each compartment having a door 13 hinged at its front end and provided with wedge-shaped side fillets 16. As the body is moved forwards after discharge, rollers 17 on the underframe engage the fillets 16, and the doors are tightly, closed. The Specification as open to inspection under Section 91 (3) (a) states also that when the cart is used in connexion with a furnace the trapdoors are provided with pins engaged by hooks which are released by lugs on the furnace as the body is moved backwards, other lugs engaging and closing the doors when the body is moved forwards. A series of short boxes may be used instead of a compartmented body. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in Machines for Removing the Stems of Tobacco Leaves.
IPC: A24B5/04
Filed: 1911-01-12
Granted: 1911-09-07
Abstract: 861. Deiller Machine Co., Deiller, M., and Deiller, E. M. Jan. 12. Tobacco.-The leaves are stripped on a drum which is made in two parts 2, 3, Fig. 10, and is provided with upstanding cutting-flanges 7, 8, across which the leaf is transversely stretched by means of the belts 14 in order to remove the crease which is generally present in the stem or midrib. The stem is cut away by a cutter 9, which projects between the flanges 7, 8, and has sharpened edges. The belts 14 constitute with a series of narrow belts the driving-means for the drum, which they nearly surround. When a revolution is completed, the drum automatically comes to rest to enable another leaf to be fed to the drum in a position to be superposed accurately on the leaf or leaves previously stripped so that the stripped leaves are booked, and as the drum is driven by contact with the belts, no creeping of the leaves occurs through the increasing diameter of the drum and leaves, and the tension of each belt is maintained uniform by means of weighted rollers 18, Fig. 2. In order that the drum may be automatically stopped at the end of each revolution, it carries an arm 43, Fig. 6, having a pin 44 which engages at the proper time with a plunger 48 carried by a pivoted latch 45, which may swing between stops 46, 47. The engagement of the pin 44 with the plunger 48 lifts the rod 49, which throws off a clutch on the driving-gear. To re-start the machine, a treadle 53, Fig. 2, is depressed, causing the lever 52, Fig. 6, to withdraw the plunger 48 and allow the clutch, which is spring-controlled, to fly back into gear. The machine may be stopped at any time by depressing a treadle connected to the lever 40, Fig. 2, which throws the clutch out of gear. To remove the completed book of leaves, the front driving-roller 20, which is mounted in a framing, is lowered by means of linkage 27 and handle 29.
